Started as a Hokage

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to recover. He frowned while looking at the report on the table, lit the pipe in his hand, and started smoking.

He actually knew a little bit about the relationship between Namikaze Minato and Minamoto Shugi. In the eyes of outsiders, the two seemed to be close friends.

But in fact, Minato Namikaze came to him more than once to learn how to suppress Minamoto Sougi.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that they were not as friendly as others saw.

But now Minamoto Shuyi's move confused him. Minamoto Shuyi gave Naruto a huge fortune almost for nothing, enough to make him live a rich life.

And he also earned a huge reputation for the fourth generation.

Others didn't know it, but Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the square that Minamoto Souyoshi was building in the center of the street was going to be built in Minato's name.

It is unlikely that most of the items in this report were bought by Minato Namikaze during his lifetime, because Minato was really poor and had only saved up enough money for his own house some time ago, so it was impossible for him to have any spare money to invest.

So there is a high probability that the one in this report was given to Naruto by Gensou Yoshiro.

Not only did he earn fame for the fourth generation, but he also gave his posthumous son abundant assets. What exactly did Minamoto Shuyi want to do?

Does he also want to compete for the position of Hokage?

No, he's still too young.

He would not have thought that Minamoto Shugi's move was not only to gain prestige, win over the Fourth Generation's forces, and raise the banner of Namikaze Minato more confidently, but also to secretly dig a hole for the Hokage line.

This wealth is not so much for Naruto as it is for the Hokage family.

Because Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, his life trajectory is firmly controlled by the Hokage line. Whether it is assets or other things, they will be taken over by the Hokage line.

The reason why Naruto was so miserable in his previous life was because the Hokage and his family were behind it.

Naruto was not allowed to make friends through the rumors of the demon fox, and almost all the friends and teachers arranged were allies of the Hokage.

Let him be isolated in the village and not let him come into contact with any force except the Hokage family.

This left Naruto with no choice but to side with the Hokage family.

Then through a series of operations, he deepened his bond with the Hokage family, such as the instructor Kakashi, and later the teacher Jiraiya, etc., firmly laying the seal of the Hokage family on Naruto.

Throughout Naruto's life, he was also a tragedy. He thought that he was freed from the shackles of the name of the demon fox, but in fact, by the time he had the strength, he had already become one of them.

The only surprise was probably Sasuke.

The reason why Sasuke and Naruto became teammates is because, like Naruto, Sasuke is an unstable factor and needs the discipline and restraint of Kakashi, an elite jounin.The second is for Uchiha Itachi.

Moreover, Uchiha Sasuke has potential. If he can open the legendary Sharingan, it is possible to suppress Naruto's Nine-Tails. In turn, Naruto's Nine-Tails identity can also make Uchiha Weasel throw the rat into a trap.

The senior officials were not satisfied that Uchiha Itachi had been undercover for several years but had achieved nothing. They wanted to use this method to force Uchiha Itachi back, but they did not expect that they would be hit hard first.

Sasuke also took advantage of Konoha's weakness to defect from the village, which was a slap in the face to these senior officials.

Back to the point.

Just because Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, it is impossible for them to let Naruto come into contact with any force other than the Hokage family.

And in order to force Naruto to lean towards their side, they need to make Naruto poor and then save him as a savior.

If Naruto accepted Minamoto Shugi's gift and he became one of the richest men in Konoha, there would be no room for salvation.

What's the icing on the cake compared to providing help when it's time?

Therefore, they took away things that should have belonged to Naruto without any shame, and counted them as funds for training Naruto.

As for Minamoto Shugi, because Naruto's identity as Kyuubi has not been made public, and the news that he is the son of the fourth generation is only known to senior officials like Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could have fooled him by swapping the tanuki for the prince.

After a few years, when they had completely digested Naruto's assets, no one could say anything.

Don't think this kind of thing is shameless, they couldn't do it in the third generation.

It turns out that Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others have done it before.

After the death of the fourth generation, Naruto lived an extremely difficult life alone. As the Hokage, the fourth generation may not have a lot of money, but he should still have a small amount of money.

As the princess of the Uzumaki family, Uzumaki Kushina, even though the Uzumaki Kingdom was destroyed, Nifune still had three pounds of nails.

Coupled with some of Uzumaki Mito's assets, not to mention wealth, he should still be well-off.

But what kind of life did Naruto live? He could only eat instant noodles that were about to expire, and he was so hungry that he went to catch fish outside the village to eat.

Where did all the money go?

Besides, the Uchiha family was wiped out by Itachi. In addition to leaving some clan land to Uchiha Sasuke, what about other industries?

It is impossible for such a large family to have no property at all. Where did it end up?

Ha ha!

Gen Shuyi was really not afraid of them eating, he was just afraid that they wouldn't eat. If they didn't eat, how could he use the excuse to save Naruto from the hands of the Hokage family.

He glanced at Danzo again, and the hot, greedy, and joyful look in his eyes was beyond words. He probably secretly counted all these things on himself.

You're thinking about ass!

In the original work, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't let you get in touch with Naruto, but you still want to have it in this life.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen happily accepting Gen Shuyi's scroll, Gen Shuyi spoke again.

"Continuous wars have sharply reduced the number of ninjas in Konoha. There are already some shortages, and children who have not graduated from ninja schools need to go to the battlefield. And this loss is particularly serious. The number of ninjas has been reduced so much. For Our current situation is very unfavorable, and I think we can introduce some ninjas from the Land of Fire to supplement us at the right time."

Everyone was not very satisfied with Yuan Shuyi's proposal this time.

Konoha is a relatively independent force. They are the largest ninja village in the Land of Fire. They have the best conditions and inheritance. Outsiders want to enter Konoha life.

But the local people in Konoha are not very welcoming to outside ninjas. Firstly, the concept of ethnic groups has not dissipated. Secondly, Konoha's power has been divided up over the years, and no one wants to let outside forces get a piece of the pie.

The best example is the Genji Group. After this foreign force came in, it quickly expanded into a behemoth.

Although basically everyone in the village has made a lot of money by being affiliated with the Genji Group, there are still some people who are dissatisfied.

But what Minamoto Shuyoshi said was very reasonable. After several years of fighting, the number of ninjas in Konoha dropped sharply. During the third war, children who had not yet graduated had to be sent to the battlefield.

You must know that the original intention of establishing Konoha was to resolve disputes so that children could live safely to adulthood, but now it is worse than during the Warring States Period. How can you face the first Hokage in the underworld?

"Let's talk again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no definite reply.

He also needs to discuss with people from the Hokage family to evaluate the pros and cons.

"Okay, I hope you can give me an exact number before the election of the Fifth Hokage. I am going to hold this Hokage election grandly, so that all the ninjas in the Land of Fire can come and see our Konoha."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Does this choice of Hokage have anything to do with you?What do you mean by being so excited?
