Naruto: Fox and Cat

In a dark conference room, there were not many people attending the meeting. Kakashi, advisor Monoyan, advisor Koharu, Hyuga Clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, ministers from various departments, etc. Basically all the management of Konoha are here. .

Seeing this interrogation-like posture, Naruto was no longer in the mood to say hello to them. He also knew what he would face next, and he knew even more clearly that if he compromised a little here, their situation would be even worse. Awkward.

Naruto just stood at the door and did not go in immediately. Many people's eyes and expressionless faces seemed to be looking at the prisoner.After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, and the orange color spread around his eye sockets. When he opened his eyes again, the pupils of his eyes had turned into cross pupils that combined tailed beast mode and senjutsu mode, and the surrounding aura also suddenly changed. Change, steady, calm and dangerous, like a completely different person.

He obviously didn't leak any chakra, but when he was glanced at by those strange eyes, people subconsciously felt the power gap between the two sides that could not be described in words. It was a chilling feeling.

It wasn't until the people who were staring at him turned away with cold sweat on their faces that Naruto walked in steadily, pulled out the chair that was obviously reserved for him, and sat down facing them all.

Kakashi looked at him, and after making sure that he could handle it by himself, he just sat there with his hands folded. Yamato was now the minister of ANBU, but it was obvious that he didn't intend to say anything.

After the elderly Koharu retracted her initial delusional fright, she also remembered that Naruto was just a young boy in his early twenties.And she also knew Naruto's character, which was impulsive, kind and a little reckless. This straightforward character was very easy to deal with.After all, this is not a battlefield, and she doesn't need to be afraid of the opponent's strength. Just by looking at the child, she can tell that he doesn't understand any psychological tactics.

After all, not everyone is Uchiha Itachi.

After calming down, Koharu still maintained the high airs of a consultant and ordered with a commanding tone, "Uzumaki Naruto, use your most original appearance to conduct the conversation! This is Konoha's high-level meeting, not your enemy."

Naruto just looked up at her with a half-smile, his brightly colored cross-shaped eyes showed no fluctuation, and his right hand wearing a black half-finger glove was placed on the empty conference table.

Xiaochun suddenly choked on his words, and the momentum that he had managed to hold up suddenly disappeared.

Feeling that the atmosphere suddenly stiffened, Kakashi felt a headache and could only break the deadlock, "Let's get down to business."

Men Yan coughed lightly, and then spoke in a deep voice, "Uzumaki Naruto, this discussion is mainly about the disposal of Uchiha Itachi. Most of the senior officials have agreed, and I hope you will take the lead in permanently sealing Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan."

Koharu took a deep breath and analyzed calmly, "Uchiha Itachi is too dangerous, and no one in Konoha can control him. In his teens, he began to show vision, coldness and strategy that were different from his peers. After After all these years, who knows what that man is thinking now. Although he seems to be well behaved after the war, no one knows what he is really thinking. Everyone knows what he did back then, and that is too much credit. Offset does not..."

Naruto just tilted his head slightly and looked at Koharu who was talking quietly. When she didn't dare to continue talking, he gently tapped the wooden table with his right index finger on the table.

Men Yan looked at the other ministers who were looking at their noses and minds and the obviously absent-minded Hokage, and could only continue, "Konoha doesn't want to lose the powerful Sharingan, so we discussed the second plan, which is Transplant Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan to others, just like Kakashi transplanted Uchiha Obito's Sharingan. Of course, he will also be provided with a pair of ordinary eyes. Now Konoha needs It is a handle for Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, a handle that makes them dare not act rashly, especially Uchiha Itachi. "

His gorgeous eyes were lowered and he looked at the texture of the table in front of him. Naruto, who was unmoved by these words, only occasionally tapped his index finger on the table and said nothing from beginning to end.

Hyuga Hizu looked at Naruto. To be honest, he was also one of those who agreed to these plans, because the Hyuga clan is now the strongest clan in Konoha, and as the clan leader, he must remove some threats to Konoha.What's more, it would be okay if it was just Uchiha Sasuke, mainly because compared with Uchiha Itachi, that kid is much easier to deal with.

Naruto paused with his fingers, and then silently glanced at the person in front of him. He paused on him for a second and then continued to look down at the wooden board in front of him, as if he didn't care about anything.

Koharu regained his confidence a little and said their trump card, "We also learned that the two Uchiha brothers valued Sakura Luofeng very much, so they knew that Konoha had a lot of criticism against them, but they still stayed to help after the war so that You have been traveling for three or four years. If you don’t agree with the third option, then put Ying Luofeng under house arrest..."

The terrifying and suffocating chakra suddenly swept through the entire conference room. The floor, walls, and ceiling were cracked beyond recognition. The furniture in the room was even broken into pieces. Except for the chairs where Kakashi and Yamato were sitting, the desk and Everyone else's chairs also turned into powder.The other ministers, including the advisor, fell to the ground because of this terrifying chakra, their faces turned pale and they couldn't even stand up for a while.

Kakashi and Yamato, who were still sitting on the chairs, were not affected much. It was obvious that the chakra just now paid attention to avoid them.Yamato looked at the unrecognizable environment around him, decided to stand up and walked to stand behind Kakashi. After standing for a second, he suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly helped the two old consultants up to prevent their old bodies from deteriorating. What's the problem.

Now the director of the Interrogation Department and the Intelligence Department, Morinoi Hiki, calmed down, and then he and others simply tidied up the place. But judging from just now, they did understand Naruto's current attitude, and they also knew that simple Words won't change his mind,

After they stood up, Naruto smiled and apologized belatedly, "Ah, sorry, sorry, I couldn't control my temper just now. Are you okay?"

The motionless sitting posture, the careless smile, and the apology that wasn't even a perfunctory one.Her beautiful cross-shaped eyes didn't even pay attention to the person in front of her.

"..." Seeing Naruto's greatly changed aura compared to before, Yamato couldn't help but a slight cold sweat broke out on his face, [Although I know that Naruto's current strength is terrifying, what's amazing is his aura. .What has he experienced in the past few years...]

"Your temper now is the same as Sasuke's," Kakashi had a headache, and then said seriously, "Naruto, calm down your temper. I know you won't agree to these plans, but you need to use words and reasonable countermeasures. Resolve the situation rather than impulsively blasting chakra directly."

"I know," Naruto squinted his right eye slightly, and glanced at the two old advisers with a half-smile, "It's not surprising that you are warning Brother Itachi, and I can't control what you think. But why? Involving Feng? Feng is indeed my weakness, but you dare to stretch your hands to her~"

The slightly raised tone was very brisk, but the chakra that suddenly made people breathless with fear hinted that anyone who nodded here would probably not end well.

Kakashi was also unable to bear such heavy chakra, and quickly waved his hand to signal Naruto to calm down, "Don't worry, Naruto. No one wants to take action against Miss Feng, the advisors just want to make a... um, suggestion?"

"That's right, that's right," Yamato also hurriedly helped to smooth things over and advised, "This time we are simply discussing your next plan. After the discussion, you can go back to the bookstore to apologize to Miss Feng."

"I understand." Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he had returned to his usual appearance. After standing up and bowing to those who were in shock, he apologized seriously, "I was impulsive just now. Feng finally came back now and is not in good health. I always overreact when I hear news about her."

"It's okay," and before anyone else could say anything, Kakashi took the lead in accepting his apology for them, "After all, he is a young man, and there are extenuating circumstances."

Naruto took a deep breath, thought through his thoughts, and then spoke seriously, "Only a few people in Konoha know the truth that Brother Itachi is still alive. Ordinary people will no longer worry about his existence, and the reason why you have been Being so wary of Brother Itachi is due to the demise of the Uchiha clan in the past, and of course your own considerations. Because Brother Itachi is very smart and a genius, no one can guess what he is thinking. Also because he cannot see through him. , that's why you are afraid of him, even if his ability is very powerful, even if he helped Konoha so much after the war. The most important thing is, just because Brother Itachi is from the Uchiha clan, and Sasuke is now Super powerful ninja, one is too smart and the other is too powerful, you will always worry that they will follow the old path of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito and bring destruction to the world."

Everyone just listened quietly, wanting to see what kind of consciousness the young man in front of them had.

"But, although they are enemies on the battlefield, I know that Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito's ultimate goal is actually the same as everyone else. They just want world peace and not so many wars and deaths. It's just that they choose His path is very extreme, and he only believes in his own ability to bring peace, so in the end he stood in a hostile position with everyone." Naruto looked serious and spoke slowly, as if he was trying to take the thoughts in his head seriously. Really conveyed to the senior officials here, "I know they have brought irreparable harm, pain and even countless hatred to the world, but I will not veto their hearts and dreams of pursuing peace."

The Tsukuyomi world that Uchiha Madara has spent his whole life pursuing, and the Eye of the Moon project that Uchiha Obito wants to realize at all costs, are all just to create a Platonic world.No one has chakra, everyone is at the same starting point, the world will not have disputes over resources, and everyone’s loved ones will live happily.There is no hatred, no darkness, no pain, it is an idealistic dreamland.

It was a peaceful world like a dream.

Kakashi stared at Naruto silently, and finally couldn't help but close his wet eyes, [Look, Obito...someone still sees your sincerity in wanting world peace...]

"To be honest, I don't know what Brother Itachi is thinking at all, because his eyes can see through everything about you. It's difficult to hide anything in front of him. But I know Sasuke, and I know he won't become like People like Madara Uchiha will never do it. And everyone knows..." Naruto paused, gritted his teeth and continued seriously, "Everyone also knows that Brother Itachi was responsible for the annihilation of the clan in Konoha. Order, I don’t know what exactly happened that year. But at that time, Brother Itachi still completed the mission in order to preserve the peace of Konoha. If we really want to say who can take responsibility for him or take revenge on him now, in this world Only Uchiha Sasuke has this qualification. No one else has the qualification to judge him. Sasuke hated him back then, and his goal in living was to avenge him, even going to Orochimaru. I don’t know what happened after that. However, it is Sasuke who decided to give up revenge and let Itachi live. This is enough. We just need to respect his decision and bury everything in the past in our hearts. We don’t want to be immersed in the hatred of the past and choose to be with ourselves. It is Sasuke who redeems his sins and lives with his brother, for us, it is enough to know this!"

After listening to his words, everyone else fell silent.Indeed, regarding Uchiha Itachi, the only person in the world who can say anything to him is indeed his brother Uchiha Sasuke.Others, especially people from Konoha, really have no qualifications to mention this matter.

"Sasuke and Itachi are my most important friends. I don't want them to end up bearing all the infamy and guilt because of past history or one or two people from the Uchiha clan. It was Uchiha Madara and Uchiha who started this war. Obito Uchiha is not Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke. We can't confuse them and let them bear charges that don't belong to them and wander outside Konoha for the rest of their lives." Naruto clenched his fists. , continued, "I made an agreement with them to make Konoha a better place and a home where they can belong. For this, Grandma Tsunade, Teacher Kakashi, and Shika Maru, Feng, and many, many others are helping. There may still be some people in Konoha who are afraid of Sasuke, but more people believe that he will not become someone like Uchiha Madara, and everyone feels sorry for what happened to him. I want him to stay happily in Konoha. Just to achieve this, Granny Tsunade and Mr. Kakashi have shouldered a lot of pressure and done a lot of things. Now everyone's efforts have been responded to, now That's a good thing to say. Don't do anything else."

Before the fifth generation Hokage Tsunade left office, she indeed pronounced the sentence on the two Uchiha brothers with violent means. In addition, behind the scenes, the Daimyo of the Fire Country also secretly gave instructions to save the two of them, and finally reached a solution that most people were satisfied with. result.

"Everyone may still be wary of Brother Itachi and feel that they don't know what he is thinking at all, but after getting along for a long time, you will know that Brother Itachi's thoughts are very simple." Naruto smiled, under the horrified eyes of others. He continued, "The peace of Konoha and the safety of Sasuke are as simple as that. He could sacrifice everything for this, which is why so many things happened back then. Does Kakashi-sensei think the same way now, right?"

The sudden change of topic made Kakashi stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Just because he believed that Itachi would not rebel against Konoha again, he secretly arranged Itachi to the ANBU and asked him to help rectify the chaotic ANBU. Otherwise, just now Kakashi took office and was exhausted by all kinds of problems.

"When you become the next Hokage, how will you deal with the darkness of Konoha?" Men Yan said calmly, calmly looking at the young man in front of him, "The development of a ninja village cannot rely solely on the bright side. , darkness will always follow you. Just like a tree grows upward, the roots will extend deeper into the darkness. Many dark and bloody sides that you are still unable to touch will be truly exposed. I am afraid it will be difficult for you with your current qualifications. It is difficult to bear or even make corresponding choices.”

"The reason why I always wanted to become Hokage when I was a child is because Iruka-sensei told me that a person who becomes Hokage is someone who can be recognized by everyone and is a powerful person. At that time, I was a demon fox that everyone was afraid of, because I wanted to be a Hokage. I want to become Hokage only with everyone's approval." Naruto looked down at his gloved right hand, his eyes darkened slightly, "But, when I had enough strength, I discovered that Hokage is not just strong enough. Or recognition is enough. It needs something else."

Kakashi looked into his eyes quietly and asked softly, "Did you see something?"

"Many, many, enough, enough to give me a new understanding of the world." Naruto clenched his fists and laughed softly, but it made many people present tremble, "I am traveling When I was a Hokage, I also visited other Kage and learned a lot from them. I also fully understood that I am still far from the ability to become Hokage. I know that I am not the material for learning. There may be many things that I will never be able to learn. Yes, or I may never learn. But I also know that in those areas where I am not good at, there will be other capable people to help me. Such as Sasuke, such as Shikamaru, such as Brother Itachi, and those who have always been by my side. Feng, and many, many companions. I may not be a competent Hokage in the future, but I will definitely do my best to make Konoha better, because this is my agreement with everyone."

Kakashi looked at the students in front of him, and he could vaguely see the reckless and straight-forward little boy back then, but he also knew that Naruto now has a wider vision, a better understanding, and is more powerful. Strength, etc., and he also knew that there would be people smarter and calmer than himself to help Naruto, and Konoha would become the strongest with their cooperation.

Naruto looked down at his right hand and remembered what Sakura Luofeng once said, and said, "It is not enough for a ninja village to be strong only by one or two people, because it is impossible for these two people to protect the peace of the ninja village. Forever. As long as the whole village is strong, it will not be bullied by others and will have enough time to help others."

Kakashi's right eye curved into a crescent moon, jokingly expressing his emotions and expectations, "It seems that you have gained a lot in the past two years. My retirement must be just around the corner."

"Kakashi-sensei, after a few more years of hard work, I'm still not qualified at all..." Naruto quickly waved his hand, and Shikamaru said that he didn't even have the knowledge of a Jonin yet.

"Don't worry, I will work hard to train you. Of course I will send someone to train you~" Kakashi said with a smile and asked, "Then do you have any other plans besides going to class? Last time, Miss Feng She came to talk to me, she has a long-term mission that she needs to give to Sasuke and Itachi."

"I know this, and Feng and I have returned to Konoha now. It's Itachi's and Sasuke's turn to go out and relax. As for my next words..." Naruto smiled and nodded, then Think about it carefully.

The advisors and other ministers thought that he would take on some ordinary tasks as before. After all, they also knew that the girl Naruto brought back would need someone to take care of him for a long time.

However, Naruto gave an answer that stunned them all.

"I want to join ANBU."

"???" Kakashi's eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at Naruto who had already made up his mind, "Naruto, what did you just say??"

"Why do you want to join ANBU? Aren't other daily tasks more convenient for you?" Yamato also felt incredible. He used to be an ANBU. Although he has improved a lot now, he still sometimes performs some too ruthless tasks. He doesn't I think Naruto can accept that kind of mission.

Xiaochun looked at the blond boy thoughtfully and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"Before a seed grows into a big tree, it is waiting to sprout in the dark. I don't want to just look up at the lush branches of the big tree, I also want to see the intricate root system deep in the darkness. I don't want to just see the bright side of things, I You also need to know what kind of darkness it is accompanied by." Naruto touched his blond hair and smiled innocently and seriously, "You may think these words are funny or daydream about it, but ah, you can only see it with your own eyes. The unknown side of Konoha now, I know how I want to change in the future."

"..." Listening to his realization, the shabby conference room fell into silence for a long time.But everyone looked at Naruto with eyes full of admiration and trust.

The blond boy may still be naive, but he has the courage to step into the darkness. That innocence and kindness will make him shine even in the darkness.He has the ability to bring peace and light, and he has the tolerance and determination to embrace darkness.

He will be a Hokage that transcends all generations.

Men Yan suddenly exhaled, and his originally expressionless and cold expression suddenly lost its previous firmness, becoming as decrepit as an ordinary old man, "We understand, we will no longer ask about the affairs of the two Uchiha brothers. From now on , everything between the two of them will be left to Kakashi and you..."

The wrinkled Koharu also nodded and shook his head with a wry smile, "Konoha now has a group of outstanding young people, and your awareness is enough now. It's time for us two old guys to retire... "

Naruto looked at the two old men who had lost their energy quietly, and suddenly said calmly, "I hope you can enjoy your retirement life and don't try to find trouble in the middle of the night. What she needs now is to rest on time."

Men Yan and Xiaochun paused for a moment, then nodded silently and walked out of the conference room.

Kakashi looked at their staggering backs, then looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, are you sure you want to join the ANBU in the future? Follow all the rules and regulations of the ANBU?"

"Yes." Naruto nodded with firm eyes.

"..." Kakashi opened his mouth to say something, but finally remained silent, and then nodded, "I understand, I will let Yamato arrange your admission test. But I want to remind you in advance, Naruto. ANBU It’s not as simple and bright as you think.”

"I know." Naruto nodded again with a calm expression.

After Kakashi looked at him quietly for a long time, he finally exhaled, walked over and patted his shoulder before turning around and leaving.

The head of the Intelligence Department and Interrogation Department, Morino Ihiki, came over. The terrifying expression on his face because of the two scars rarely showed a smile. He patted Naruto hard on the shoulder and said, "I will do my best for you." To train a powerful intelligence minister, the future Hokage-sama."

"Thank you, Uncle Ibiki." Naruto smiled and nodded, watching him leave with the others before looking at Hinata Hiashi and Yamato who were still here.

The leader of the Hyuga clan with Byakugan looked at him silently for a long time, and finally said calmly, "The Hyuga clan will always stand behind Konoha."

"I know." Naruto just nodded, and only after seeing him walking out did he lose his mature and steady expression in front of familiar people, and looked at Yamato in front of him in a panic, "Captain Yamato, is the exam difficult? ?Do you need to write a lot of information??"

"Due to the special circumstances, ANBU admissions are kept secret, so I can't give you any information or provide any information for the time being." Yamato blinked and said with a smile, "And during the tenure of Kakashi Hokage-sama, I was ANBU Minister."

"Really? Captain Yamato, you are so awesome!!" Naruto's eyes widened, because ANBU members all use code names, and he never knew who the minister was.

"It was only during Kakashi-sama's tenure, and it was also because Itachi-kun was about to go on a mission that I was hurriedly pulled over to replace him." Yamato once again stated the key points of his tenure. To be honest, he now also has feelings for ANBU. I was so overwhelmed with the process that I didn't even know how Itachi managed to cover everything.After Naruto takes office, he can get rid of the ANBU minister who has made him sit on pins and needles.

Then he looked at the dilapidated conference room around him, rushed to Naruto, turned on the flashlight he brought and shined it on his face, and shouted like a ghost, "If you blow up the conference room next time, let me clean it up." , I will definitely avenge my personal revenge and send you to the haunted house to perform the mission!!"

"Ahhh!! I'm sorry!!!"
