Chapter 119 : Naruto

Turning around, Uchiha Natsu raised his hand and used wind ninjutsu to open the window, dispelling the strange smell in the room.

"Eating instant noodles at this age..." Uchiha Natsu remarked as he glanced at the instant noodle box, a little surprised.

Just then, the sound of an immature child's voice came from the bedroom with a hint of surprise and expectation.

"Grandpa Third!"

Naruto, a short man with yellow hair, ran out of the bedroom with excitement. However, as soon as he saw Uchiha Natsu's face, his expression faltered. His eyes were red and swollen, and his mood was extremely downcast.

Despite his young age of three, it was evident that Naruto was smaller than Sasuke and his peers, likely due to malnutrition.

Thinking about the meager pacification fee, Uchiha Natsu couldn't help feeling a bit aggrieved, but he maintained the Hokage's dignity on the surface.

"Little Naruto, are you still sad about the Third Hokage?" Uchiha Natsu inquired, walking towards the refrigerator.

"Yeah," Naruto nodded emotionally, clutching an old photo of Hiruzen Sarutobi in his small hands.

Upon opening the refrigerator, Uchiha Natsu raised an eyebrow in surprise. The fresh-keeping layer was filled with cartons of milk and bags of bread, almost bulging out. Some items were nearing their expiration date.

Curious, Uchiha Natsu asked, "Naruto, why haven't you consumed the milk and bread in the refrigerator?"

Naruto looked up again, his attention now on Uchiha Natsu. Scratching his head, he replied seriously, "I like instant noodles."

"These milks will expire soon. If you don't drink them, they'll go bad. And eating only instant noodles isn't nutritious. You need to have a balanced diet with meat, eggs, and milk."

Uchiha Natsu was exasperated. In his previous life, influenced by the internet and his own experiences, he thought the Third Hokage was harsh on the orphans of heroes. However, looking at the contents of the refrigerator now, he didn't know what to say.

Examining the paint supplies in the small warehouse, Uchiha Natsu realized that Naruto had not consumed much from the refrigerator before. Paint, though not expensive, was a luxury for a three-year-old.

Reflecting on the situation, Uchiha Natsu concluded that the Third Hokage's treatment of Naruto was not as stingy as he initially thought. Despite not being overly generous, the Third Hokage provided basic necessities like bread and milk regularly.

Turning his attention back to Naruto, Uchiha Natsu approached him and covered the instant noodle barrel emitting a strong odor.

"Naruto, do you believe what I say?" Uchiha Natsu asked as he leaned on the table.

"Of course, Uncle Hokage," Naruto responded, unaware of Uchiha Natsu's young appearance.

Though puzzled by the title, Uchiha Natsu continued with a stern expression, "While instant noodles are fine occasionally, eating them for every meal will hinder your physical development."

"If you're stunted, you might not be able to become a ninja in the future. Do you want to live an ordinary life?"

Naruto's eyes widened at the Hokage's words. It was as if the bucket of instant noodles had grown legs and walked away from him. With determination, Naruto made a promise.

"Uncle Hokage, I'll drink the milk properly from now on," Naruto pledged.

"Good," Uchiha Natsu nodded, pleased with Naruto's compliance. Considering Naruto's thin frame, Uchiha Natsu resolved to provide him with proper nutrition.

Taking Naruto's hand, Uchiha Natsu led him to the door. With a simple hand seal, he closed the window using wind escape ninjutsu, surprising Naruto.

Satisfied with his mastery of the one-handed sign, Uchiha Natsu looked forward to practicing more complex ninjutsu in the future. With caution and preparation, one could better navigate the ninja world.

Now I can only perform some simple ninjutsu, and when I become proficient in the future, I can use more complex ninjutsu.

After learning the one-handed sign, even if one arm is cut off, I can continue to perform ninjutsu.

In this way, it is equivalent to adding another layer of insurance to myself.

Although the main body hardly fights in person, the possibility of broken arms is very low.

But for the sake of caution, it is still necessary to take into account the situation in which this kind of thing will happen.

This is called being prepared. In the ninja world, only cautious people can survive better.
