Konoha: Surpassing Expectations Today, Believe It!

"This!?"

Hearing Naruto's thoughts, Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of the crystal ball was stunned and his body trembled slightly.

Even.

The pipe in his hand was about to fall off!

Naruto...

At this juncture, you actually use me, the Third Hokage, as an example to think about countermeasures!

You actually respect me so much!

At this time, the feelings in the Third Hokage's heart can no longer be described with relief.

But moved!

So touching!

Unexpectedly, although I usually don't take good care of Naruto, in Naruto's heart, I have such weight!

I have become his benchmark of behavior and his spiritual idol!

While feeling guilty, there was a glimmer of hope in my heart.

Naruto!

You must overcome the difficulties in front of you!

With me guiding you, you must succeed!

...

On the swing.

After using knowledge and instinct to feel that the Third Hokage has taken the bait.

Naruto immediately jumped down, the fiery luster rekindled in his eyes.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Striding towards the street, Naruto began to imitate what the Third Hokage must do every day—patrol the streets!

"Uncle Fujiwara, hello."

Naruto showed a pleasant smile and greeted the owner of the stationery shop at the front of the shop.

After being greeted unexpectedly, the other party was a little confused at first.

But when he saw that the person was Naruto, he squeezed out a smile: "Oh, yes, it's Naruto, hello..."

A very forced return gift.

This is also inevitable; after all, not long ago, Naruto was still seen as a demon fox by him.

But Naruto didn't care about these things either.

Because his purpose is not to gain courage from the villagers' spirits at all.

Instead, bring the Third Hokage into the pit and gain the involution value from him!

"It's really rare to hear Uncle Fujiwara say hello to me. I wish you a prosperous business, goodbye!"

Talking.

Naruto bowed deeply, then walked towards the next shop.

"Aunt Nanako, hello!"

Same as the previous development.

The proprietress of the second shop also had a look of astonishment and didn't react all at once.

But thinking that the Third Hokage gave the villagers an order not to bully Naruto again, even if it was pretending, she put on a smile.

"Naruto, why are you so polite today?"

"I haven't seen you say hello before."

Aunt Nanako asked curiously.

Naruto, looking harmless to humans and animals, with eyes shining with warmth, replied: "It's Grandpa Hokage!"

"I'm learning from Grandpa Hokage to patrol the streets, cheering everyone on!"

"I wish you a prosperous business and good health! Be more and more beautiful!"

Talking.

Naruto bowed deeply again.

Let's be honest.

Although everyone didn't wait to see Naruto before.

But in the face of such a harmless child with a sunny face, who also took the initiative to cheer them up and say some congratulatory words, most people would not be able to speak harshly!

"Oh, I didn't expect Naruto to be so cute! He's so sweet!"

Aunt Nanako covered her cheeks with a breezy face, and Naruto's words made her very happy.

And also feel useful.

There is also the Third Hokage being revealed in front of the crystal ball.

"Well, not bad, not bad."

"Kid Naruto, what a malleable talent!"

The Third Hokage was so happy!

Naruto is so polite and sensible even when he went to patrol the streets!

And most importantly.

He reported his name!

In this way, people would think:

The reason why Naruto changed from a mischievous little devil to a well-mannered and cute kid was influenced by his Third Hokage. It's all due to him!

"Come on, Naruto!"

"If you want to change everyone's attitude towards you, you can't rely on policies alone. You have to integrate yourself into the big family of Konoha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked expectant.

He silently cheered for Naruto in his heart.

He didn't even notice that he had fallen into the celebrity's involution trap!

"Grandpa Mushou, hello! How is business today? Have you sold any new sculptures?"

"Big sister Fuuka, good afternoon, today you are just as cute and charming!"

"Hi Kakashi-sensei! Hard work!"

"Senior Gōko Tetsu! Thank you for protecting Konoha!"

"Uncle Enzo, do you have a new style of ninja gear today? Has the problem of kunai getting rusted last time been solved?"

...

Naruto patrolled the streets from door to door as if he had eaten Xuan Mai.

Every person he meets is greeted politely to the utmost, and from time to time, he also cares about their life and work, and helps cheer them up.

"Hey, I didn't expect Naruto to be so cute!"

"That's right! I thought he was only mischievous, but it turns out his mouth is quite sweet!"

"He said he was imitating Lord Hokage to patrol the streets? Did the Third Hokage teach him to do this?"

"Whether you teach or not, he's so sincere, let's be more sincere!"

"Yes, such a polite child is rare now."

"Whoever's daughter cheers me on, cheers on my work!"

"That's right! Besides Naruto, the only person who still talks about working hard now is the boss!"

...

A street of vendors and villagers.

They all feel extremely gratified and happy about what Naruto has done.

Who would reject a child who is sensible and polite, who smiles brightly and cheers them up?

What everyone hates is just a brat!

...

Time goes by bit by bit.

Soon.

It's time for sunset.

"Well, I should probably go out for a walk."

In the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the crystal ball in satisfaction.

To be frank.

He hasn't been as happy as he is today for a long time.

Seeing that the children affected by him are climbing out of the abyss and developing towards the positive direction of the sun.

As Konoha's supreme leader, he feels extremely gratified!

"It's really... fighting for these guys is not in vain!"

While thinking flatteringly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking a cigarette.

He got out of the Hokage building and started walking the streets.

"Lord Hokage, hello."

Vendors on the street smiled and said hello.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a skilled smile and nodded.

But at this moment.

The expression on the peddler's face suddenly froze, as if he was a little stunned.

Huh?

That expression just now...

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, but without thinking too much, he immediately continued walking forward.

"Lord Hokage, you are out on inspection."

A polite greeting from a villager.

Hiruzen Sarutobi still nodded skillfully and gave a service smile.

And bizarrely.

A trace of astonishment suddenly flashed across the villager's face.

But it was only a fleeting moment, and there was still nothing to say.

What's happening here?

Hiruzen Sarutobi is no ordinary person.

After encountering unthinkable situations twice in a row, he also felt a little vigilant in his heart.

"Lord Hokage, hello!"

"Grandpa Hokage, hello!"

"Lord Third Hokage, you have worked hard!"

Three people in succession.

Everyone greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi politely as usual.

And Hiruzen Sarutobi, as usual, responded with his trademark smile and affirmative nod.

But oddly enough.

There was a hint of weirdness hidden in everyone's eyes!

It seemed...

They are not very satisfied with Hokage's performance today!

"This!? What happened?"

No matter how dull.

When I met 5 people in a row, I had weird eyes.

Even if it is a fool, the Third Hokage knows something is wrong!

"What happened? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed to the glass window to check.

"No!"

"Could it be that someone is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

"No, absolutely impossible! No one in Konoha has the guts!"

"What the hell is this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was on the spot anxiously, neither advancing nor retreating!

He couldn't figure out what the problem was!

What happened today!?

Obviously, I am the same as usual, saying hello and greeting everyone in a friendly manner.

But why does everyone seem to have something on their minds!

What are they hiding!

Just when the Third Hokage couldn't figure it out and was going crazy.

Suddenly.

In the shop he just passed by, there was the voice of the boss whispering.

"I feel that the Third Hokage doesn't seem to be paying much attention."

"That's right! Does he count as patrolling the streets? Naruto greeted us one by one!"

"Naruto not only greets us, but also cares about our business and cheers us on. The Third Hokage just deals with it casually, which is too perfunctory!"

"Didn't Naruto say that he is learning from the Third Hokage to patrol the streets? Well, what a joke! The Third Hokage is not as good as him!"

"That's right! How can there be such a thing, Naruto is much more serious!"

"Naruto is 100 times more serious than the Third Hokage!"

"If not for the Hokage uniform, I would have thought Naruto was the real Hokage!"

"The Third Hokage's attitude is too outrageous..."
