What to Do in the Future

As the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki is under the surveillance and protection of more than two teams of elite Anbu, twenty-four hours a day.

The Anbu regularly report Naruto's daily life and activities to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.

Summarizing Naruto Uzumaki's behavior over the past year, it is monotonous but also very regular.

He wakes up at six in the morning, and after washing up, Naruto makes himself breakfast. After eating, he spends a little time moving around in the room to digest, and then he sits at the table, staring out the window in a daze.

This daze lasts until around noon, then Naruto gets up to make himself lunch. After eating, he moves around for a while as usual, and then sits back in his old spot to continue staring out the window.

The afternoon daze lasts a little longer, until seven in the evening.

At this time, Naruto makes and eats his dinner, and then at eight o'clock, taking advantage of the darkness when almost everyone has gone home, he goes out and starts running through the silent Konoha.

The route is random and not fixed.

However, he consciously avoids the bustling areas with rich nightlife.

Until 9:30 in the evening, Naruto finishes his run and goes to the Shopping Street to buy some daily necessities, then carries these items home to take a bath and go to sleep.

And so, a day passes.

Simple, yet regular.

Day after day, without any waves.

Such a life is not a problem for an adult; not everyone likes to make friends, and many people enjoy being alone.

But for a child who has just turned four, it all seems too lonely, easily leading onlookers to think he has autism.

Looking at Naruto like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a pang of heartache. He knew the reason, but he couldn't change it.

Or rather, he didn't want to change it.

Although he wasn't the one who announced Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki, the current situation was beneficial to Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Hokage.

The Jinchuriki, who is rejected by the rest of the village, has the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen as his only warmth, and will naturally become a loyal force supporting him, which is conducive to his rule as Hokage.

The Jinchuriki is a power that must be in the hands of the Hokage.

"Naruto."

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, using a gentle voice to awaken Naruto from his daze.

He wanted to talk to Naruto and understand what he was thinking at this moment.

Naruto, who was reading Five Thousand Years of Chinese History, was awakened by the external call. Coming back to his senses, he turned his gaze to the direction from which the voice came, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Third Hokage."

A joyful voice rang out, and Naruto jumped off the chair, welcoming Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing not far away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen still had a kind smile on his face, reached out and touched the top of Naruto's head, who was only up to his waist in height, and asked with a smile, "Naruto, what were you thinking about? You didn't even notice me coming in."

Naruto answered this question without any hesitation: "Thinking about what to do in the future."

Having just read Five Thousand Years of Chinese History, Naruto was drooling over the stories of those influential figures, and he couldn't help but think about what he would do in the future and what kind of person he would become.

However, he was still too young and knew too little, and hadn't yet figured out what he wanted to do in the future.

Hearing this question, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart stirred, but the smile on his face remained unchanged as he continued to ask, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'm still too young to figure out the answer. I really want to grow up quickly so I can see many places and learn more knowledge.

Then, I'll know what I really want to do."

Naruto answered with a smile.

"Then read more books when you have time. I'll have someone send you some books later, Naruto. Also, don't stay at home alone all the time. Go out more so you can make friends," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"I go out every day," Naruto replied.

Hearing this, the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face froze slightly.

He remembered Naruto's routine, which was to go out when everything was quiet to avoid the crowds.

Then, he acted as if nothing had happened.

He pulled Naruto over and began to tell him the story of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju brothers, who had quelled the chaos, created the Hidden Leaf Village, and advanced the entire world from the Warring States Period to the peaceful era it was now.

By the way, he explained to Naruto what the Will of Fire was.

Compared to the short stays when he used to deliver living expenses, Sarutobi Hiruzen stayed for a full two hours today and was even pulled by the enthusiastic Naruto to eat a meal of Hot and Sour Shredded Pork Noodles that he had personally made.

Not bad, the taste was actually quite good.

He was just a little curious how Naruto had learned to make this new type of dish that he had never eaten before.

Did he come up with it himself?

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly came up with a reasonable explanation. After all, Naruto had been living under his nose, and he knew everything he did every day.

Thus, there was only this one explanation.

As he left, Sarutobi Hiruzen savored the dish he had just eaten and thought about his conversation with Naruto.

Today's harvest was not small. At least he understood that Naruto was not a withdrawn child. He had begun to think about his future life at such a young age, had a strong desire for knowledge, and had considerable creativity. One could say he was precocious.

As long as he was guided well, he would surely become a useful person to Konoha in the future.

"It seems I should send Naruto more books in the future."

Thinking this, Sarutobi Hiruzen strode away. He had been delayed for quite a while today, and he still had a lot of official business to deal with.

On the other side, Naruto was a little reluctant as he watched Sarutobi Hiruzen leave.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one who didn't look at him with strange eyes. Unfortunately, he was the leader of the entire village, the Hokage, and was busy dealing with all kinds of major events, so he couldn't come to see him often.

Not long after Sarutobi Hiruzen left, an Anbu suddenly appeared, delivered several books to Naruto, and then disappeared cleanly.

Naruto placed the books on the table, spread them out, and looked at them one by one.

Will of Fire, Modern History of the Ninja World, Konoha History, Ninja World Geography, Chakra Refinement Detailed Explanation, Three Body Technique, Basic Body Technique Training Methods, Shuriken Throwing from Beginner to Mastery.

Picking up the Will of Fire, which was closest to his hand, Naruto flipped through it casually. It was similar to what the Third Hokage had said before.

Then, he tossed it aside without much interest.

To be honest, Naruto was a little disdainful of this thing.
