Dark Naruto's acting life

Kakashi frowned slightly as he listened to Danzo's words.

Sure enough, the rumors in the village recently were spread by him.

Otherwise he wouldn't have stopped himself from making the decision to let Naruto go out and hide.

Calming down his thoughts, Kakashi tried to slow down his tone and said, "Elder Danzo, what is this huge case you are referring to?"

Danzo said disdainfully: "Kakashi, it seems that you are not qualified to be the acting Hokage. Haven't you heard about the recent public outcry in the village? This is really inappropriate. As expected, you are too young to sit in that position."

Da da.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En came in one after another.

Mito Kado En: "Uzumaki Naruto is suspected of colluding with the traitor Orochimaru. He needs to be investigated. Kakashi, we elders unanimously oppose your decision to let Uzumaki Naruto go out on a long-term mission."

Kakashi's heart sank.

He knew that the fact that these three people came together proved that they had reached some consensus.

Although he was the acting Hokage and had some families behind him, to be honest, his foundation was too shallow and he was controlled by these old guys in every way.

To put it bluntly, there was no way for me to object to the decision made by the three of them.

Soon, the few people who successfully blocked Kakashi's decision left the Hokage's office.

Kakashi stood up from the big chair. He looked at the Fourth Hokage, and finally couldn't help but sighed and said, "Naruto, I can't help you anymore."

……

Root tissue base.

Danzo returned to his territory and sat on the throne.

His confidant Shan Zhongfeng knelt on one knee to report to him the progress of the latest mission.

"Danzo-sama, the mission you assigned to me has been basically completed. It is well known that Uzumaki Naruto colluded with Orochimaru to attack the village, resulting in thousands of casualties. The people we arranged among the people took this opportunity to successfully entangle 3,000 people. As long as you give the order, you can immediately force the Hokage to abdicate. By then, you will not only be able to recruit Jinchūriki under your command, but you may also be able to use this opportunity to drive Kakashi out of power. Your time has finally come."

"hehe."

Danzo sneered, and just as he was about to issue a new order, another trusted aburame, Torne, suddenly jumped over.

Aburame Tori got down on one knee and said, "Danzo-sama, the Sandaime-sama has woken up, and he wants to see you."

Danzo's eyes darkened.

Damn Hiruzen, why did he wake up at such a late hour and at such a high time...

Forget it, it doesn't matter if he wakes up. If he can convince the other two advisors, he can certainly convince Hiruzen. Didn't he successfully convince him to put the blame on a newborn kid more than ten years ago?

"Let's go to the hospital."

……

Konoha Hospital.

In the VIP ward of the third generation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the edge of the bed with a bright look on his face.

He held several reports in his hands and read them carefully.

That was Acting Hokage Kakashi's ruling briefing for the last few days.

Overall, Kakashi was still very capable. He quickly resettled the suffering people, and then sent powerful jonin to attack spies from other villages who were spying on Konoha's situation, effectively preventing other villages from taking the opportunity to attack Konoha.

Putting down the report, Sarutobi Hiruzen reached for the pipe on the bedside table and took a few puffs.

"Although Kakashi is still a little young, he is still a good candidate for a Hokage, but..."

But the biggest problem is that Kakashi has never been able to solve the people's complaints, and they cannot be dispelled simply by paying pensions to appease them.

The hatred of the people needs to be guided and expressed. If it is blocked instead of released, the foundation of Konoha will be damaged.

To put it bluntly, someone needs to take the blame.

An ANBU member stood next to Hiruzen. She reminded him quietly, "Sama: Sandaime, you should lie down and rest. Your poison has not yet been eliminated. Exerting too much energy will quickly weaken your vitality."

Hiruzen smiled and said, "Don't worry, my old bones can still hold on. My evil disciple has really grown in ability. He actually developed this strange poison. When I was unconscious, I felt hot all over as if I was burned by fire, but now that I am awake, I feel like I am 20 years younger and I am in great spirits."

"This……"

The Anbu swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

She felt that the current state of the third generation master was probably the so-called last glimmer of life.

But she didn't dare say it directly.

Just when she was about to persuade the three generations to rest again, there was a knock on the door.

The third generation knew it was Danzo who came just by hearing the knock on the door.

He said to the Anbu beside him: "You go out first."

"Yes."

The Anbu didn't hesitate, she opened the door of the ward and left.

After that person left, Danzo walked in slowly alone.

pat.

The door is closed.

At this moment, the Sandai's expression changed, and he asked Danzo in a deep voice: "The recent rumors about Naruto are your work again, right?"

Facing the question from the Third Hokage, Danzo was not in a hurry to answer. He randomly found a chair and sat down, then said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it is or not. Anyway, the people in the village are sure that there is something wrong with Uzumaki Naruto. What we have to do is to follow this wind and let it blow away the haze in the village this time. Compared with personal honor and disgrace, the collective interests of the village are the most important, right? Let him sacrifice a little, and the village can safely get through this crisis. I believe this is what everyone wants to see."

The Sanda frowned: "Then you shouldn't let Naruto take the responsibility this time. Do you know how much harm this will cause to him? Besides, he is the hero this time. He successfully forced Orochimaru to retreat and saved my life. You treat him like this..."

"Huruzen, you're dying." Danzo interrupted the Sandaime.

Sandai: "What do you mean? Are you mocking me?"

"I don't mean to mock you. You and I have known each other for decades. Although we are not as close as brothers, we still have the friendship of comrades and fellow disciples. I know you want to take the responsibility yourself, but as a friend, I don't want you to be criticized by the people of Konoha after you die."

Sandaime: "Personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Konoha, my reputation is gone. Danzo, you go tell Kakashi right now and ask him to issue a notice saying that all responsibility has nothing to do with Naruto, and it was my incompetent teachings that caused this disaster. I am willing to die to apologize for the deaths of the people."

Danzo shook his head slowly: "Huruzen, you are still so naive. You are the Hokage, representing the entire Konoha. It is a small matter for you to take full responsibility, but it is a big matter to damage the reputation of the Hokage.

I believe that the daimyo would not want to hear the rumor that the Hokage he chose was a loser who couldn't even teach his apprentice. The best explanation is that the disaster was caused by external troubles and internal thieves.

Also, think about your grandson. Once you admit that this disaster is your fault, your Sarutobi family will be a street rat in the eyes of the people of Konoha. What kind of life will your grandson live? Everyone will curse him, everyone will call him a killer, everyone will discriminate against him and humiliate him, because he is the descendant of a murderer like you. Think carefully, do you really want your only blood to live this kind of life? "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

The corners of Danzo's mouth curved up, he knew that he had convinced the Third Generation.

"Huruzen, the matter is done. It is not a problem to let Uzumaki Naruto take the blame again. I promise you that he will not be harmed. At most, he will be given a small punishment. It will be fine after the public anger is calmed down. Anyway, he has been wronged once, so it should not be a big deal to happen again. After all, he should be used to being wronged for so many years, right? Besides, don't you often say that you have trained him to be an excellent successor to the Will of Fire? I believe he will be willing to sacrifice for the village."

The Sandai's expression changed several times, and he finally sighed: "Well, I'll try to compensate him afterwards."

"Leave it to me." Danzo smiled.

Da da.

He opened the door with his cane.

Before leaving, he turned back to the Sandaime and said, "Huruzen, you will not regret this decision."
