"Naruto, I know you really want to team up with us."
Flash said very seriously: "But you can't join our group because our instructor is your father, the Fourth Hokage."
"well?"
Naruto was surprised: "Brother Flash, how do you know?"
"Isn't it simple?"
Sonic said casually next to him: "Because currently, in the entire Konoha Village, he is the only one qualified to guide us."
Naruto, who has been following them, knows very well how strong Flash and Sonic are.
He deeply understood that what Sonic just said was not a big lie.
Although he is only twelve years old.
But their strength has definitely exceeded the level of Jonin!
"Then I want to participate too!"
Little Naruto refused to give up and continued to pester: "Dad is busy every day and has no time to accompany me. If dad is a teacher, I can be with him every day! Wouldn't this be better?"
"Unfortunately, this is not possible."
Flash shook his head: "Not to mention that the Yondaime is busy with official duties, but just because you are his son, you cannot become his disciple."
"well?"
Naruto's eyes were full of questions: "Why?"
"It's because I can't bear to leave, Naruto."
Flash reached out and touched Naruto's head and said: "The Yondaime is your father. He and your mother love you more than anyone else in the world. He is afraid that you will be hurt, afraid that you will be affected, and may even be injured." I can’t bear to train you in the most severe way…”
"A little eagle growing up under the wings of an eagle will never become stronger."
"Do you understand the logic of this, Naruto?"
Flash's words instantly woke Naruto up.
Memories from the past appear in my mind like a fleeting glance!
Naruto remembered.
Because he was afraid that he was too young and his body would not be able to withstand the same high-intensity exercise as Flash and Sonic, his father only gave himself an hour a day to practice with his two brothers in his yard.
Brother Flash and Brother Sonic went to the barren mountains to hunt monsters together.
My father also firmly refused to allow himself to go out.
This is human nature.
As parents, of course you don’t want your children to get hurt at all!
"Don't you want to be Hokage?"
Sonic next to him made a timely follow-up assist: "A weak man who can only hide behind his father cannot become Hokage."
"As a man, you must constantly strive for self-improvement."
Flash took his hand off Naruto's head: "As a man who has the dream of becoming Hokage, this is even more true... We are your brothers and your relatives. In battle, we will inevitably protect you subconsciously. Block all dangers and difficulties for you... But in that case, can you still become Hokage and become a great person like your father?"
Little Naruto was a little confused.
Because no one had ever said this to Naruto before.
He was born the son of the Fourth Hokage.
The status is extraordinary.
Although he never cared about it himself.
But in fact, because of his status, it is difficult for everyone to treat him with the same attitude as an ordinary child.
there has never been…
No one has ever told me these principles of life like this, with the gentleness of a peer and an elder brother, telling myself what is right, what is wrong, and why it is wrong.
"I… "
Naruto suddenly clenched his fists, raised his head, and looked at Flash firmly: "I know!"
Then he ran out without looking back!
"I will work hard!"
"Strive to become a reliable man who does not rely on his father and brother!"
"I must become Hokage!"
"A man as great as my father!"
While shouting such words, Naruto's figure became further and further away, until he disappeared from the sight of Flash, Sonic and Saitama.
…
Ramen shop.
Saitama looked at Flash Flash with some sideways eyes: "You know a lot of things, Flash... Shoulder Blade Crusher..."
…
Flash was silent for a while.
Then he stood up from his seat.
"... I won't treat you to this bowl of ramen. You can pay the bill yourself."
Then he really only gave himself and Sonic the money, and left without looking back!
Saitama was immediately shocked: "Oh!?"
Fortunately, Sonic was still there and helped pay for Saitama's ramen.
"Do not misunderstand… "
Sonic glanced coldly at Saitama beside him: "I don't want to help you, but because Flash, who is always absolutely calm and only completes his goals like a machine, is angry with you, so I will pay the bill for you. Even if it is the reward paid to you..."
…
Early the next morning.
Saitama, who returned from Tashigi, met up with Flash and Sonic in front of the Yondaime's house.
Had a simple breakfast.
Flash and Sonic took Saitama to the training ground.
On the way, Flash recited his name a few times to make sure that Saitama would not call him wrong again.
soon.
The three of them had already arrived at the training ground.
It was so empty.
There was only a blond man wearing the cloak of the "Fourth Hokage" standing there against the wind, waiting for Flash and the others to arrive!
"Sure enough..."
The suspicion in my heart was confirmed at this moment.
Flash and Sonic took Saitama over and said hello: "The Yondaime."
"You don't seem surprised at all..."
Namikaze Minato's smile was very sunny and warm, and even his voice was very gentle, which made people feel very comfortable: "So I guessed it yesterday, right?"
Flash and Sonic nodded directly.
"As Hokage, my work is quite busy. I'm afraid I won't have much time to take you on missions later."
"But if it's Flash and Sonic, I'm afraid they don't need me that much."
"Since you were two years old, you have set a very demanding exercise plan for yourself..."
"After that, he continued to go to rumored dangerous places and practice cruelly."
"It's hard to imagine... that in peaceful times, there would be children working so hard..."
"What makes me even more unbelievable is your strength and talent..."
"Ordinary jonins are no longer your match. Even if I were to face attacks from both of you at the same time, I would probably lose... When you grow up, you will definitely be stronger than me... "
Namikaze Minato stood in front of the three of them and looked down at them: "But... although you are now very strong and have learned almost all the ninjutsu you can come into contact with before going to school, now that you have become your teacher, you are still more or less I want to teach you something..."
"How about just flying the thunder god's technique?"
"As a traveling companion, Saitama can also ask for instructions on how to use Flash or Sonic chakra and learn together."
