Chapter 217 Black Zetsu Grandpa in the Pendant

After sending Naruto home, the Third Hokage hurried back to the Hokage Building.

As a Hokage, he did not waste too much time on Naruto. There were so many orphans in the village who needed care, and Naruto was just the most special one among them.

He also needs to focus on maintaining the balance of power.

After giving the Hyuga clan several jonin positions last time, he originally wanted to appease the Hyuga clan, and at the same time stir up conflicts between the Hyuga and Uchiha, letting them argue about who is the strongest bloodline family.

Unexpectedly, the Hyuga clan became arrogant and set their sights on various major departments. They were thinking of forcibly becoming advisory elders by relying on the number of senior ninjas, and they also secretly colluded with Danzo.

If Danzo really reached a cooperation with the Hyuga clan, his position as Hokage would be in jeopardy.

Although he was once the village's Hokage, he is now only the Acting Hokage. If he is impeached by the joint efforts of the jonin, he may be forced to abdicate.

He was not greedy for the power of Hokage, but the position of Hokage could never be given to Danzo.

After the Third Hokage left, Black Zetsu first sensed the location of the Anbu around him, then turned into a spore and landed on Naruto's shoulder.

He planned to use the Spore Jutsu to secretly influence Naruto.

In the past, Black Zetsu had doubts about Naruto's identity as Ashura, but after today's observation, Black Zetsu completely confirmed Naruto's identity as Ashura's reincarnation.

Only the reincarnation of Asura has such an optimistic attitude, it is difficult for others to do so.

Naruto lay on the 1.5-meter-tall window, tilting his head to look at the scenery outside the window. Outside the window was the sky illuminated by moonlight, and the statues of the four Hokage lay quietly on the cliff.

The time I just spent with Grandpa Hokage was very pleasant, but in the blink of an eye, I was alone again.

Living alone is very free, but also very lonely. It would be nice if there was someone to talk to. One really needs a friend in his heart.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and said to Naruto: "You little brat over there, what are you doing?"

Naruto shuddered, looked around, and said with a frightened face: "Who are you, where are you? Are you a ghost or a devil? What do you want to do?"

"I'm here, on top of your table."

"On the table?" Naruto came to the table. There was nothing else on the table except a kunai pendant.

Naruto picked up the pendant and said carefully, "Are you inside this kunai pendant?"

Black Zetsu nodded, and then said: "Handle it with care. I don't want the paint to fall off by being knocked off. But you, little brat, have some fate with me. You actually woke me up."

"Old man? Are you very old?" Naruto asked tentatively.

"Of course. I am hundreds of years old and have been living in this pendant. You can respectfully call me Hei Lao."

"Hei Lao?" After a pause, Naruto took a stool and sat in front of the table, and said: "Why did you appear in this kunai pendant? Did you encounter some enemy?"

"I can't finish telling my story in three days and three nights..."

Black Zetsu's cold snort sounded in Naruto's ears, which completely aroused Naruto's interest and he began to dig deeper.

"I have time, Grandpa, please continue..."

Faced with Naruto's endless curiosity, Black Zetsu felt sweating profusely, but he could only bite the bullet and make up a legendary story for Naruto.

When making up the story, even Black Zetsu himself felt that the story had some loopholes. But Black Zetsu had no other choice. This was the method provided by Byakuya, to approach Naruto in the way of a kind-looking grandfather, and then influence Naruto step by step.

Moreover, Bai Ye’s method is different from the method he used to seduce Indra. It is a completely different approach.

An hour later, Naruto was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes. After saying good night to Black Zetsu, he fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After seeing this scene, Black Zetsu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had bewitched more than a dozen Indras, it was all after Indra grew up. This was the first time he had cultivated them from a young age, and he had never seen a curious baby like Naruto.

The surveillance ANBU hiding in a nearby tree frowned.

Before Naruto went to sleep, he talked to himself for dozens of minutes. Although children have this stage of talking to themselves, but wasn't it a bit too long?

This strange phenomenon must be reported to the Hokage. Even the smallest thing that happened to the Jinchūriki is a big deal that cannot be ignored in the village.

……

The next morning, Naruto met the Third Hokage again.

The Third Hokage came with snacks and milk. After inspecting Naruto's house, he noticed the peculiar-looking kunai pendant.

Small gadgets like kunai pendants are everywhere in the Konoha Village.

But the Third Hokage still checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem with the kunai pendant, the Third Hokage pretended to leave Naruto's home.

After hearing Naruto mumbling to himself while holding the pendant, he turned back.

After confirming again that there was no problem with the kunai pendant, the Third Hokage sighed softly in his heart and left with peace of mind.

Naruto's talking to himself was not because there were ninjas doing something in secret, but because he was really lonely. It seems that Naruto needs to get some friends. The two boys from the Ino-Shika-Chou family are good examples.

After the Third Hokage left, Naruto said to Black Zetsu: "Grandpa Black, why didn't Grandpa Hokage find you just now? Weren't you hiding in this kunai pendant?"

Black Zetsu sneered, and then said: "How could a mere Kage-level strongman possibly discover me? But your Hokage grandfather cares about you very much. He checked on you once yesterday and again today."

Naruto didn't hear the hidden meaning of Black Zetsu's words, nodded and said: "Grandpa Hokage has always been very good to me, but because of his busy official duties, he doesn't have much time."

"But it does seem a little strange that Grandpa Hokage visited yesterday and he came again today."

"Could it be that Grandpa Hokage is not usually very busy?"

Seeing Naruto in doubt, Black Zetsu smiled and said, "Maybe you are really too busy with official duties, but your Hokage grandfather is so good to you, you must repay him in the future."

"Of course, I will definitely repay Grandpa Hokage."

After a pause, Naruto said to Black Zetsu: "Let's not talk about Grandpa Hokage for now. Grandpa Black, you haven't finished your story yesterday. Those ninja stories are so interesting and fun."

"Those are not stories, they are things I have seen with my own eyes."

"Things that happened hundreds of years ago are all pretty much the same. I just listened to them casually anyway. They have nothing to do with me."
