ALL NOVEL Chapter 34: Naruto, Peak Human, Ch 17.2
The person leading Li Zhenwu was an ordinary ninja, but instead of taking him directly to the Hokage's office, they led him to a small clearing.
At the edge of the clearing, there was a small swing. The Third Hokage was standing next to it.
Curious, Li Zhenwu examined the area; Naruto often came here to play.
"Hello, Hokage-sama!" Li Zhenwu greeted.
"You're here," Hiruzen Sarutobi turned, his eyes reflecting a sense of nostalgia.
"Yeah, I'm here," Li Zhenwu muttered to himself, thinking how could you not notice I was coming.
"Would you like to sit on the swing?" the Third Hokage asked.
Li Zhenwu was somewhat speechless, realizing that the Third Hokage really treated him like a child.
But thinking it over, he indeed was just a three-year-old boy at present.
So, he walked over to the swing and jumped right on, standing on it.
Then, he directly asked, "Hokage-sama, what did you want to see me about?"
Taking advantage of his age, Li Zhenwu felt he didn't need to mince words, nor would anyone be on guard against him.
"I've noticed over these past few days that you seem to have a passion for fighting," Hiruzen said, focusing his gaze on Li Zhenwu.
Li Zhenwu was not surprised; he already knew from the original story that the Third Hokage was a bit of a 'peeping Tom', using a crystal ball to watch Naruto's life often.
He had indeed been exhibiting an extreme fondness for battle.
In just three days, he had dragged Guy Sensei into over ten sparring sessions.
"Yes, I love to fight, and I'm quite good at it!" Li Zhenwu laughed, not keeping a straight face.
"Do you want to become even stronger?" Hiruzen queried.
"Of course!" Li Zhenwu replied without hesitation.
"Then train with me; I will teach you the true way of the ninja!"
"What????"
Li Zhenwu gasped in surprise, doubting his ears. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanted to take him on as a disciple???!
