Chapter 126 - 1

Chapter 1: Naruto and the Third Hokage(This book contains a lot of OOC and headcanons, and character destruction is extremely severe. If you are not satisfied with what you read, please leave quietly. The author has a fragile heart and will truly cry if scolded, *sob sob sob*. By the way, please don't bring your brain when reading this book; after all, the author didn't use their brain when writing it.)(Brain check-in counter; don't forget to pick it up when you leave.)In Konoha, inside the home of Uzumaki Naruto, Naruto was cooking by the stove when a sudden knock at the door made him pause, but he did not go to open it.Because he knew who was at the door, there was no need to open it at all. After all, it wasn't as if this person didn't have a key, and he was still cooking; if he ran to open the door and the food burned, what would he do?The person outside seemed to know what Narutowas thinking, as he directly pulled a key from his pocket, unlocked the door, and walked in."Little Naruto, why didn't you open the door for me?" The visitor was an old man wearing a conical hat and a long robe, with a kind and amiable expression."...No, are you sick, old man? You clearly have a key, so why do you have to knock every time? Besides, you're the Third Hokage, coming to my house to freeload meals every day—don't you have any shame?" Naruto rolled his eyes at the old man, scooped the food into a plate, and carried it to the dining table.The visitor was none other than the Third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hearing Naruto's words, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, but upon seeing the enticing food on the table, he couldn't resist swallowing his saliva."Isn't it because the food you make is too delicious? Plus, it has magical effects, and I truly can't resist the temptation." The Third Hokage smiled somewhat awkwardly and said to Naruto.Hearing this, Naruto pursed his lips and didn't speak again.Although he complained, he still scooped a bowl of rice for the old Third Hokage and placed it on the table. Seeing this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but smile and came to sit by the table."Go wash your hands! You're such a grown-up, yet you're so unhygienic." Naruto stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the Third Hokage and saying.The Third Hokage's mouth twitched, but he still stood up, obediently went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then returned to the dining table to eat with Naruto.This Naruto was originally named Xu Duoduo and was an ordinary office worker. He got this name because he was the third child in his family, and since it coincided with the family planning policy, a lot of money was fined when he was born.Because of this, his father named him Xu Duyou, but later his mother grabbed him by the ear and took him to the police station to change it to Xu Duoduo.His father was unreliable. When feeding him as a child, he suddenly saw a wine bottle on the table, and on a whim, he mixed some alcohol into the milk.After drinking it, he slept for a whole day. When his mother returned home and found his skin flushed and his body hot, she thought he was sick and took him to the hospital for a check-up, only to find out he was drunk.His mother was so angry that she raised a rattan stick and chased his father for three whole streets.When he grew up a bit, his father took him to the mountains to play. As they played, his father got too excited and forgot about his son, leaving him on the mountain until he returned home in the evening. He quickly ran back to look for him, which scared Xu Duoduo so much that he almost developed psychological trauma.Then his father was chased and beaten by his mother for another three streets.When he was older, in middle school, his father took him to town on a bike to buy things. They hit a rock on the road, which bounced him right off into a field, covering him in mud.His father didn't even notice, and only realized his son was missing once they reached town. He hurriedly went back to find him, only to see Xu Duoduo, covered in mud, squatting on the ground drawing circles.This time, because the issue was relatively minor, his mother didn't beat his father for three streets, but only for one before grabbing him by the ear and bringing him home.Because of these incidents, he always believed he was adopted, and even his older brother and sister felt the same way.Once, he wanted to change his name, but after being refused by his parents, he secretly took the household registration book and ran to the police station. However, before he could get in, he was caught by his father and received a "mixed doubles" beating from his parents.After that, he completely gave up on the idea.By the time he reached university, he rented a place outside to live by himself; he was truly afraid of being played to death by his father.Unfortunately, he didn't die at his father's hands but died from overwork while working overtime. After death, he transmigrated and replaced the original Konoha prince, Uzumaki Naruto, replacing him from the womb.At two years old, because he was pointed at by Konoha villagers when he went out, he never went out again. He preferred to starve at home, planning to go out for food at night, but he underestimated a child's need for food and nutrition.He could endure not eating in the morning, but by noon, he was already dazed. When he hadn't eaten by the afternoon, he was lying on the bed, unable to move.By the time the Third Hokage finished his work and checked on Naruto with the crystal ball, Naruto had already fainted from hunger. The Third Hokage was left speechless and immediately sent him to the hospital for an IV drip, which saved his life.It was also because of this incident that he awakened a system called the "Strongest Chef System," but the system crashed when it loaded to 99.9%. Immediately after, an explosion sounded in his mind.A bunch of messy things were poured into his brain. Just as he woke up and hadn't recovered, his body felt like it was electrocuted, instantly stiffened, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again, foaming at the mouth.The Third Hokage was so scared he nearly passed out. Once he finally recovered, he hurried to find a doctor, whose diagnosis was that the mental exhaustion was too great and that he would be fine after some rest.The Third Hokage was full of suspicion. Does excessive mental exhaustion cause one to foam at the mouth? Do you take me for someone who has never seen someone with excessive mental exhaustion?However, after four doctors examined him in turn and all gave the same result, the Third Hokage had to accept the diagnosis.As for Naruto, after receiving the system's legacy, the first thing he saw when he woke up was a huge cage. Immediately after, a giant claw reached out toward him, only to get stuck on the cage."Brat! Come here! Let me eat you!" A giant fox face leaned close to the iron cage, startling Naruto. Then he realized that the fox couldn't get out, and his inner spirit of courting death began to stir."You tell me to come over, so I come over? Don't I have any face? If you have the ability, come out!" Naruto climbed up from the ground, stood with his hands on his hips, and looked at the Nine-Tailedwith a haughty expression."Roar! Brat! You are courting death!" The Nine-Tailedroared and slammed a claw against the iron cage, but it hit nothing. The cage was fine, but its own claw was shaken until it hurt.But Naruto didn't have it easy either. He was already suffering from excessive mental exhaustion due to merging with the system and hadn't recovered yet, so when he was roared at by the Nine-Tailed, he rolled his eyes and fainted again.The Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto lying straight on the ground, and the whole fox was stunned. Is this generation's Jinchuriki so weak? I just roared once, and he got scared into fainting?Wasn't he very brave just now? He even dared to provoke me, and that's it?Watching Naruto turn into light spots and slowly dissipate, the Nine-Tailed had eyes filled with 30% astonishment, 30% contempt, 30% mockery, and 10% smugness.When Naruto woke up again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. Before he could make a move, he saw a figure appear in front of him with a *whoosh*, giving him a fright.When he saw who it was, anger surged from his heart, and he started to curse."You old fart, do you have a death wish? Not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to scare a child? Is it fun? If you actually scared me to death, would you take responsibility?"Before the Third Hokage could even open his mouth, he was left dumbfounded by Naruto's barrage."You brat, I am the Hokage." When he came back to his senses, he immediately glared at Naruto."So what if you're the Hokage? Can the Hokage not sleep in the middle of the night and scare children? Can the Hokage climb onto people's beds in the middle of the night? Don't you have any shame?" Naruto didn't give the Third Hokage any face at all and continued his barrage."You! You!" The Third Hokage stuttered for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence. He was so angry that he clutched his chest and gasped for air, looking like he was about to pass away at any moment.Under their masks, the Anbu guarding outside had faces full of shock and admiration, secretly giving Naruto a thumbs up, though Naruto couldn't see it.Afterward, the Third Hokage, having recovered, calmed down for a while, chatted with Naruto for a bit, gave him some instructions about taking care of his body, and then left.Naruto lay in the hospital for three days before being discharged and was sent directly home by the Anbu.During these three days, Naruto took the opportunity to organize the legacy left by the system. The "Strongest Chef System" was just an empty shell now, as all the culinary knowledge had been absorbed by him.These dishes had some magical effects: Chinese-style could increase physical fitness, Western-style dishes could increase mental power, and Japanese-style dishes could increase Chakra levels. All were permanent increases, with the amount depending on the quality and complexity of the dish.There were also some dishes with other special effects, such as cough relief, healing, and everything else.The ingredients, seasonings, kitchenware, and other items in the shop were all followed by an ∞ symbol. He tried taking out a cucumber and took a bite; hmm, it was real and edible.He also took out a kitchen knife and made a cut on his hand; hmm, it bled, so it was also real.He hurriedly took a Band-Aid from the shop and applied it. Heaven knows why a chef system's shop would have Band-Aids, along with a bunch of messy trauma medicines, even gauze and alcohol; it was just ridiculous.From then on, he never went out to the street again, staying at home every day to study recipes, which left the Third Hokage dumbfounded.The Third Hokage came to ask him about it, and his answer was that it was suddenly awakened. The Third Hokage couldn't figure anything out and just assumed it was a special awakened Summoning Jutsu.It's just that he really didn't understand why the things summoned were all ingredients, kitchenware, and trauma medicine. What use did these things have on the battlefield? To be a cook? Or a medic?However, since things had come to this, the Third Hokage could only accept it. Now, the person who would rather starve than go out was directly self-sufficient. From age two to three, for a whole year, he didn't step out of his house once.This made the Third Hokage's already sparse hair even thinner from worry.Today happened to be the funeral of Hyuga Hizashi. The Third Hokage, in a bad mood, came to find Naruto for a meal. After eating and chatting for a while, the Third Hokage hoped that Narutowouldn't keep staying at home and would go out more to make friends.Looking at the thick snow outside and the pitch-black sky, Naruto had a face full of confusion.Are you serious, old man? What kind of friends are you supposed to make in the middle of the night? And it's snowing!Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him, and he remembered something. But to maintain his persona, he still dragged it out with the old man before reluctantly walking out of the house.Seeing Naruto finally willing to go out, the Third Hokage showed a gratified smile. He took out his pipe and was just about to take a couple of puffs when the door opened again.Naruto rushed in from outside, frozen like a shivering mess."Little Naruto, why are you back again?" The Third Hokage looked at Naruto, who was shivering from the cold, with a surprised expression. He took a closer look at his clothes, and the corner of his mouth twitched, realizing what had happened.Seeing the Third Hokage's expression, Naruto felt embarrassed himself.Damn it, I was careless. I was just thinking about meeting Hinata and forgot to put on a coat.After recovering for a while, Naruto ran back to his bedroom, put on several layers, wrapped himself up like a penguin, and then wobbled out of the room.Seeing Naruto's appearance, the Third Hokageslapped his own forehead. Is this child missing a screw in his brain? Wrapping himself up like this, it's hard to even walk."Old man, I'm leaving. Also, smoke less." As Narutopassed the Third Hokage, he greeted him and casually snatched the pipe from the Third Hokage's hand.The Third Hokage looked at Naruto wobbling his way out, then looked at his empty hand. He couldn't help but laugh, stood up, straightened his clothes, and left Naruto's home as well.
