Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

"is it?

It turns out that Naruto's child has joined an organization called 'Akatsuki'.

It seems that he has completely abandoned the Will of Fire of our Konoha..."

“It was Ōnoki who brought this news… It looks like I’m going to owe this old guy a favor this time.

But how did he know that Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

This old man has clearly hidden this matter very well..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought while holding the news that had just come from the Iwagakure Village.

After an unknown amount of time, he tapped the desk twice with his knuckles.

"Hokage-sama."

An Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in the office and knelt down respectfully before Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction and signaled the Anbu ninja to stand up.

"Notice below,

I have confirmed that Uzumaki Naruto has completely betrayed Konoha and defected to another organization;

We can announce Uzumaki Naruto's identity as a traitor and issue the bounty on him."

"Yes."

The Anbu ninja received the order and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Wait a minute, what's going on over there Kakashi?"

"Report to the Hokage, Captain Kakashi..."

"Um?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen simply uttered a word, but it frightened the Anbu ninja so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down on the ground again.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake...

Since leaving the Anbu, Hatake Kakashi's every move has been under our surveillance...

We have not found anything unusual in Hatake Kakashi's behavior so far."

“…I understand. I will continue to monitor him.

Also, I hope you remember,

Now that Kakashi has retired from the Anbu, you should completely forget about his status as captain."

"Yes, I understand."

“Very good, go do your work.

After you have completed the tasks assigned by me, go find Danzo and tell him...

Forget it, ask him to come to my office. I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes."

……

The Anbu ninja retreated, and only Sarutobi Hiruzen was left in the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and looked out the window at the enchanting scenery of Konoha Village.

However, the gloomy look that occasionally flashed across his weathered eyes showed that he was not concentrating on appreciating the beautiful scenery at the moment.

"Kakashi, how should I treat you?"

Ever since he learned that Naruto already knew his life experience, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always suspected that someone in the village had concealed it from him and had contacted Naruto secretly.

Although there was no direct evidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly identified Kakashi Hatake as his primary suspect.

the reason is simple,

Kakashi is not only one of the people who knows the true life story of Uzumaki Naruto,

He is also the favorite disciple of Uzumaki Naruto's father, Namikaze Minato.

No matter from which perspective, Kakashi is the one most likely to tell Naruto the secret.

It was precisely because of this suspicion that Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered Kakashi to lead a team to track down Naruto who had escaped from the village.

This was actually a test of Kakashi, the purpose of which was to test whether Kakashi was loyal to him.

The result was obvious, Kakashi did not pass the test.

According to the information sent back by the spy that Sarutobi Hiruzen had planted in Kakashi's team,

Not only did Kakashi not go after Uzumaki Naruto with all his strength;

There are even signs that he deliberately misled the pursuit team in order to buy time for Uzumaki Naruto and the other two to escape.

Although there was no direct evidence pointing to Kakashi in either incident, the seeds of suspicion had already taken root in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

So when Kakashi returned to Konoha with the pursuit team,

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately dismissed Kakashi from all his positions and expelled him from the Anbu on the grounds of incompetence.

"Ugh……

Didn't my will of fire finally infect you?

Kakashi..."

……

"Sarutobi, what do you want from me?"

Danzo Shimura didn't knock, but pushed open the door of the Hokage's office and walked in with a swagger.

"Here we go, Danzo.

Take a look at this first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the information from Iwagakure Village to Danzo Shimura.

Danzo Shimura read it quickly and then snorted coldly.

"Hmph~

I didn't expect Uzumaki Naruto to join another organization so soon...

Sarutobi, you should give up now.

I have already told you,

I want you to hand Uzumaki Naruto over to me.

The Root Society led by me will train him to be Konoha's most powerful weapon...

it's good now,

As a Hokage, you actually let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, an important fighting force of the village, defect so easily..."

"That's enough Danzo, I didn't call you here... to argue with you about this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a gloomy face and interrupted the chattering Shimura Danzo.

"Regarding the sudden appearance of the Akatsuki organization mentioned in the information, what do you think?"

"...'Akatsuki'?

When I was in the Hidden Rain Village, I did encounter an organization called Akatsuki, but this organization should have been destroyed..."

Danzo thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"The Akatsuki organization back then,

Because of its rapid rise, it aroused the fear of Hanzo of the Salamander, and was eventually destroyed by him...

I also contributed to this matter, so I still have some impression of it.

Perhaps the current Akatsuki was re-established by the remnants of the Akatsuki organization who were lucky enough to survive back then."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly.

"Really? I know.

This is indeed a good clue...

Danzo, please write a letter to the Hidden Rain Village and ask Hanzo the Salamander whether there are any survivors of the Akatsuki organization back then.

If this Akatsuki is really established as you think, then maybe we can follow the clues and find Uzumaki Naruto and bring him back to the village."

"Can,

But I also have a condition.

After you bring back Uzumaki Naruto, you must hand him over to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo meaningfully, then spoke softly.

"We'll talk about this later."

"after?!

……

Sarutobi, since Uzumaki Naruto has already defected, that means none of your tricks have any effect on him at all!

It would be better to..."

"enough!

Danzo...remember, I am the Hokage."

"Humph!

Sarutobi... one day you will regret this."

Bang! ! !

Danzo Shimura slammed the door and left angrily.

……

"Dad,

Tell me if you want to eat or drink anything else.

I'll try to get it for you."

Naruto looked at the old man with white beard sitting next to him with a sad expression.

Because they chose the wrong target at the beginning, it took the group a lot of time to get from the Hidden Rain Village to the Hidden Iwa Village.

Although everyone has not given up looking for Erzhuzi and Lanyangyang's whereabouts,

But the system only gives two days left.

Two days,

Find the two people in the entire ninja world and bring them back to the Akatsuki organization safely...

This is undoubtedly a foolish dream!

In other words... in two days, he will have to bid a painful farewell to his Whitebeard father.

The only thing Naruto can do now is to make sure Whitebeard has good food and drink in these two short days...

[The mission of finding Lazy Sheep and bringing him back to Akatsuki safely has been completed, and the reward has been issued. ]

[The mission of finding Uchiha Sasuke and bringing him back to Akatsuki safely has been completed, and the reward has been issued. ]

Naruto: Meow... Meow? Meow~?_?? ? ?
