It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

After sensing the "root" for a moment, Naruto immediately gave up the idea of ​​sneaking into the Hokage's office!

He withdrew his gaze from the Hokage Rock.

He raised his foot again and turned away without hesitation.

Continue moving towards Konoha Hospital.

Although Naruto's mind was filled with thoughts while he was staying there, only a few seconds passed in reality.

For Naruto, who has always shouted that he wants to become Hokage, this is a normal amount of time to stay.

The Root's watchdogs apparently didn't notice anything unusual.

Can……

"What exactly is going on?!"

Naruto's facial expression remained normal, but at this moment, his heart was filled with an uncontrollable storm!

Why did Danzo suddenly intensify his surveillance on me? !

Could it be related to Orochimaru?

Before Orochimaru defected from Konoha, he already had a close relationship with Danzo.

Even the origin of Danzo's right hand is deeply related to Orochimaru.

Will Orochimaru collude with Danzo again at this moment?

If we only look at Orochimaru and Danzo from the perspective of their identities, one of them is a rebel ninja of Konoha, and the other is a high-ranking official of Konoha...

Orochimaru and Danzo have opposing identities, so the two should be incompatible.

But they are all profit-oriented people, and there is a great possibility that they will exploit each other and cooperate again.

This was not Naruto's groundless guess.

In the original work, there was a chaotic situation during the Chunin Exam - Otogakure and Sunagakure attacked Konoha together, but Danzo did not show up, which inevitably made Naruto guess what Danzo was thinking.

Especially Danzo, the state of his entire right hand is not stable. When the chakra is sufficient, Danzo can still control his right hand, but once the chakra is consumed too much, the first generation cells in his right hand will go out of control.

Therefore, Danzo desperately needs the massive amount of data from human experiments that Orochimaru has to solve this problem.

Orochimaru was naturally aware of Danzo’s imperfect right hand, which was his “weakness”.

If the Root's current surveillance of Naruto is really related to Orochimaru, then what kind of information did Orochimaru reveal to Danzo about Naruto? And how much did he reveal?

With the Root keeping such close watch, has Danzo decided to attack Naruto again? Or is he still hesitating?

Problems lead to more problems.

However, Naruto found that he couldn't even figure out the nature of Danzo's having the "Root" monitor him at this moment.

If the nature of the incident is extremely serious... the Sealed Book might have been tampered with.

By then, Naruto might have to give up the Book of Seals, expose Flying Thunder God and leave the village directly...

But if Naruto can continue to use his disguise to get around - if he rashly takes the initiative, he will miss the opportunity due to possible misjudgment and completely lose the chance to obtain the Book of Seales.

Let’s take another gamble.

Naruto has made so many preparations, unless it is absolutely necessary, he still wants to try to touch the Book of Seals.

The forbidden techniques in the Sealed Book related to the Second Hokage are what Naruto needs most.

Most of the forbidden techniques of the Second Hokage were used to deal with Uchiha...

Evenly distribute chakra, even the Sharingan cannot see through the multiple shadow clones of the main body.

The Flying Thunder God Technique that can attack from blind spots of the Sharingan——

——The Second Hokage even used the Flying Thunder God Slash to seriously injure Uchiha Madara’s younger brother Uchiha Izumina, causing Uchiha Izumina’s death.

Just like the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, who spent his entire life studying the Uchiha clan.

Coincidentally, Naruto's enemies all have the Sharingan.

In the current Konoha, Naruto's biggest enemy is Danzo who possesses Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan;

After Naruto defected in the future, his enemy would be Uchiha Obito, who coveted the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast and regarded himself as the ghost of "Madara" - who secretly deployed in the Ninja World with the help of the "Akatsuki" organization;

Even Uchiha Madara himself!

Rather than developing new ninjutsu which may not be completed in some time to fight against these difficult Uchiha.

The existing forbidden techniques in the Sealed Book, whether they are to be learned or improved upon, are simpler and more stable than developing new techniques from scratch.

Naruto is well aware of the difficulty of developing new ninjutsu. Since his time traveling through time, he has only successfully developed the perception-type ninjutsu, the Wind-Care Dawn Technique.

It can't even be considered a true development from scratch.

Naruto knew that the ninja world had a ninjutsu called Yuhu Jizaijutsu that used the natural weather to perceive the weather.

If Naruto didn't know that "natural weather" could also be used as the underlying logic of perception ninjutsu, he would never have thought of the Wind Caressing Dawn Technique, which transforms "rain", the carrier of chakra perception, into "wind".

The more Naruto understood the various complex and difficult situations involved in developing new ninjutsu, the more he was impressed by the genius of the Second Hokage who was able to develop a variety of forbidden techniques. He also realized the preciousness of the Sealed Book that condensed the achievements of the Second Hokage's ninjutsu.

Naruto's eyes flickered as he stepped into the Konoha Hospital.

Now let’s finish the scene of “worrying about the injured companions who were taken to an unknown place by the leading jonin, and finding the Konoha Hospital”.

In the original work, Kakashi took Sasuke away from the stadium in order to cast the evil-sealing seal on Sasuke to suppress the curse.

Afterwards, Kakashi took Sasuke to a special ward in Konoha Hospital and arranged for Konoha Anbu to protect Sasuke.

And Kabuto Yakushi sneaks into the ward to contact Sasuke, but is discovered by Kakashi.

But now Kabuto Yakushi is still in the corpse sealing scroll in Naruto's ninja tool bag.

"I'm sorry, we don't have any record of Uchiha Sasuke checking in."

At the hospital's inquiry desk, the nurse looked up from the patient admission records and answered Naruto's previous question.

There are some discrepancies in the details...

"OK, thanks."

Naruto left the front desk, not knowing whether Kakashi had not yet checked Sasuke into the hospital... or if Kakashi simply would not send Sasuke to the hospital.

But Naruto didn't care much about Sasuke's whereabouts.

He came to Konoha Hospital to act like he cared more for Sasuke than for the Root members who were watching him.

……

After briefly entering Konoha Hospital, we returned to the streets.

Naruto thought about his next move.

The people from "Root" were still monitoring him, with no intention of leaving or reducing the number of people monitoring him.

This level of surveillance should become the norm in Naruto's daily life for some time to come.

Under such tight surveillance, how to carry out his little actions in the dark became the first problem Naruto encountered.

"so troublesome……"

Naruto felt exhausted.

I finally understand Shikamaru's feelings, as he always finds things troublesome.

There are usually two ways to solve the problem.

One is to deal with the problem yourself.

The other is that others will actively or passively handle the trouble for you.

Naruto's current method of dealing with trouble is the second one.

A tall white figure ran towards Naruto against the flow of people on the street.

There was also a group of young and beautiful women chasing the white figure aggressively.

"Someone stop that bathhouse peeping Tom!"

The woman spoke loudly about the evil deeds of the white figure.

"I'm not some bathhouse voyeur! I'm a super famous novelist who's collecting material on the spot!"

The white figure raised the binoculars in his hand and turned his head to refute.

Naruto quietly watched the farce that suddenly unfolded on the street.

The protagonist of the farce is really famous to the ninjas—

——The Three Ninjas of Konoha who are as famous as Orochimaru and Tsunade——

——Jiraiya.
