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

"Danzo, haven't you found anyone yet?"

"No, he probably won't come.

I have long told you not to set up such strict guards;

Otherwise, it is very likely that the man will be frightened and will give up his plan and quietly escape from the village."

"No, I think the exact opposite of you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his back to Danzo Shimura and looked down through the window at the sea of ​​people below the Hokage Building. The light in his eyes seemed deep and gloomy.

“Since he has gone to so much trouble to get me to convene this village meeting, he must have big plans.

Now that I have built the stage according to his ideas, how could he be willing to give up halfway?

I guess he has already sneaked in.

Maybe he is standing in a corner down below, waiting for me to show up...

It seems that there are still people in the village who do not agree with the 'Will of Fire'~"

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was able to serve as Hokage for so many years and hold the power of the entire Konoha firmly in his hands, be a mediocre brain?

After confirming that Danzo Shimura, who proposed convening a village meeting, was impersonated by someone else, Sarutobi Hiruzen concluded that there was a conspiracy.

Even though the plan proposed by this person is beneficial to Sarutobi Hiruzen in every way;

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was still certain that this was definitely a conspiracy, and a conspiracy specifically targeting him, the Third Hokage.

However, after discussing with Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not choose to prevent the convening of the village assembly.

Instead, he secretly gave it another push and accelerated the process of convening a villagers' meeting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to play a wait-and-see strategy based on the plan proposed by that person.

People often become too excited and lose their composure just before a plan succeeds, and their true colors will be revealed if they are not careful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already set up a tight net among the crowd, and as long as that person reveals the slightest flaw, he will definitely be discovered.

By then, all the fighters from the Anbu and the Root will join forces and will definitely be able to capture him in the first place!

After catching him, Sarutobi Hiruzen could easily blame all the things that happened on this person;

If we could find the sealed book from this person on the spot...then the effect would be even better.

And then...all those who show any doubt or dissatisfaction towards Sarutobi Hiruzen will be deemed as his accomplices;

The great Third-generation Hokage's control over Konoha will be strengthened once again... Hehehehe~

"Ahem~

I'm going to leave now, and I'll leave the rest to you.

Danzo, please make sure to find that person for me."

"Hmph~ Remember what you promised me, Hiruzen."

"Don't worry, as long as you can bring that person to me... you, Shimura Danzo, will definitely be nominated for the next Hokage."

The pie that Sarutobi Hiruzen drew looks fake no matter how you look at it;

But Danzo Shimura liked this very much, and ran down happily to take charge of it personally.

……

"Look, it's the Hokage-sama, the Hokage-sama is coming out!"

"The Third Hokage-sama!"

"Master Hiruzen, look at me! Look at me!"

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen showed his head, the crowd below burst into noise.

The villagers kept calling his name and singing his praises, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became lively.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he was right to place some people in the crowd to cheer for him in advance. The effect was unexpectedly good.

[We must add chicken legs when we get back, one for each person! I, the Third Hokage, said so!]

After indulging himself for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hands and pressed down a few times, signaling the crowd below to quiet down.

"Dear villagers, I am the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

I apologize for calling you all to the Hokage building in the middle of the day;

It is because the situation is urgent that I have no choice but to make this decision.

Because a very terrible thing happened in our village last night:

Spies sent by Konoha's hostile forces sneaked into the village and maliciously fabricated a large amount of false information and spread it within the village.

These false information are directed at me, causing great damage to my reputation...

Today, I have specially summoned you all here to solemnly clarify in front of all the villagers:

I am the Third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Since becoming Hokage, he has always put the village first, using the 'Will of Fire' as a lifelong guide, and has never done anything that would be detrimental to the village or affect the unity within the village!

Those false information mentioned,

Suppress the various families in the village and use this to strengthen my own family;

In order to gain power, he schemed to kill or drive away Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, etc.;

For his own selfish reasons, he teamed up with outsiders to assassinate the ninjas in the village;

Secretly promoting the disappearance of the Senju clan and the destruction of the Uchiha clan...

Information like this is all slander!

It is a blatant slander against me, a poor old man who has selflessly dedicated most of his life to the village!"

Perhaps he was infected by the atmosphere at the scene, when he spoke of the emotional part, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in front of everyone.

The crowd below was also moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's hard work. They expressed their empathy with him and kept shouting.

pain!It hurts so much!

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand as if wiping his tears, the corners of his mouth hidden under his wide sleeves were raised high, which was even harder to suppress than AK.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who finally adjusted his attitude, quickly wiped away his tears.

As he put his hand down, he returned to his grief-stricken look.

“Villagers, you know me.

I have always taken the word power lightly.

If it weren't for the untimely death of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, I would have had to step up and take on the responsibility again...

I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will never sit on the position of Hokage again!

I am old now, and I have long felt powerless, and I want to unload the burden on me...

Every time I see villagers of my age enjoying the happiness of playing with their grandchildren at home, I envy them...

It's a pity that the next generation hasn't grown up yet, so I have to shamelessly sit on the position of Hokage for another two years despite my exhausted body...

When the right person appears, I will definitely..."

Three common routines used by leaders in meetings:

1. Emphasize how hard it is to be in this position, how difficult it is, and how much pressure you have to bear... hoping to win the sympathy of subordinates, and then get their understanding, so as to facilitate various PUAs of subordinates in the future;

2. Clearly point out the various problems that the entire group is facing now, and then frantically blame the causes of these problems on others, and express with deep regret:

It's not that I don't work hard, but that you are useless.

3. Give a sweet date after a stick, start to comfort and paint all kinds of big cakes for subordinates: the future prospects are broad, your future is bright, the later benefits are considerable...

Naruto: ?_?……

Naruto Uzumaki, who had had enough of the unscrupulous boss's empty promises in his previous life on Blue Planet, has long been immune to this kind of rhetoric.

I really don't know how the villagers of Konoha listened to it. Some of them were so moved that they fainted on the spot...

It's outrageous!

but……

You old monkey, keep talking, keep talking...

The more happy you are when you speak now, the more painful you will cry later!

The counterattack from Naruto...is coming soon!
