This Naruto is too strong

Listening to Danzo's words, Kakashi frowned slightly.

Sure enough, he was the one who spread the rumors in the village recently.

Otherwise, he would not have stopped his decision to let Naruto go out to avoid the limelight.

Calming down his mind, Kakashi tried to slow down his tone and said: "Elder Danzo, what is the big case you are referring to?"

Danzo said disdainfully: "Kakashi, it seems that you are not competent as the acting Hokage. Haven't you heard about the recent public resentment in the village? It's really wrong. Sure enough, you are too young to sit in that position."

Da Da.

Accompanied by a burst of footsteps, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En entered the door one after another.

Mito Kado En: "Uzumaki Naruto is suspected of colluding with the rebel ninja Orochimaru. He needs to be investigated. Kakashi, your decision to let Uzumaki Naruto go out for a long-term mission is unanimously opposed by several elders."

Kakashi's heart sank.

He knew that these three people came forward together, which proved that they had reached some consensus.

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

To put it bluntly, he had no way to oppose the decision of the three of them.

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

Kakashi got up from the big chair, he looked at the fourth generation of Hokage, and finally couldn't help but sighed and said: "Naruto, I can't help you either."

...

Root organization base.

Danzo, who returned to his own territory, sat on the throne.

His confidant Yamanaka Feng knelt on one knee to report to him the progress of the recent mission.

"Danzo-sama, the task 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 an order, you can immediately force the Hokage Building to abdicate. At that time, you will not only be able to recruit Jinchūriki, but you may also be able to take this opportunity to drive Kakashi out of office. Your time has finally come."

"Hehe."

Danzo sneered. He was about to issue a new order, but another confidant, Aburame Torne, suddenly jumped over.

Aburame Torne knelt on one knee: "Danzo-sama, the third generation has woken up, and he said he wanted to see you."

Danzo's eyes sank.

Damn Hiruzen, why didn't he wake up earlier or later, but at this time...

Forget it, it doesn't matter if he wakes up. He can convince the other two consultants, and of course he can convince Hiruzen. Didn't he successfully convince him to shift the blame to a newborn kid more than a decade ago?

"Let's go to the hospital."

...

Konoha Hospital.

In the VIP ward of the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the bedside in high spirits.

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

That was the briefing of the Acting Hokage Kakashi on his administration in recent days.

Overall, Kakashi was very capable. He quickly settled the suffering people, and then sent powerful jonin to attack the spies from other villages who were spying on Konoha, effectively curbing the possibility that other villages might take the opportunity to attack Konoha.

Putting down the report, Sarutobi Hiruzen reached out and took 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..."

The biggest problem is that Kakashi has never been able to solve the people's complaints, which cannot be dissipated by simply paying pensions.

The hatred of the people needs to be guided and expressed. Once it is blocked but not released, the foundation of Konoha will be damaged.

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

A member of the Anbu stood next to Hiruzen, and she whispered: "Sama Sandai, you should lie down and rest first. Your poison has not been removed yet. Excessive mental effort will quickly weaken your vitality."

Hiruzen smiled and said: "Don't worry, my old bones can still hold on. My evil disciple is really capable. He actually developed this strange poison. When I was unconscious, I felt hot all over as if I was burned by a raging fire, but this awakening seemed to be 20 years younger and in good spirits."

"This..."

The Anbu swallowed the words back.

She felt that the current state of the Sandai was probably the so-called last gasp.

But she didn't dare to say it directly.

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

The Sandai knew that Danzo had come just by the knock on the door.

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

"Yes."

The Anbu did not hesitate, she opened the door of the ward and left directly.

After that person left, Danzo walked in slowly alone.

Click.

The door closed.

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

Faced with the Sandai's questioning, Danzo was not in a hurry to answer, he casually found a chair to sit down and said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether it is or not, anyway, the people in the village have already determined that there is something wrong with Uzumaki Naruto, what we have to do is to follow this wind and let this wind 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, the village can safely survive this crisis, I believe this is what everyone wants to see."

The Sandai frowned: "Then you shouldn't let Naruto take responsibility this time, do you know how much harm this will cause to him, and this time he is a hero, successfully forced back Orochimaru and saved my life. You treat him like this..."

"Hiruzen, you are dying." Danzo interrupted the Sandai.

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. We are not as close as brothers, but we are still brothers in arms 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."

Sandai: "Personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Konoha, my reputation will be gone. Danzo, tell Kakashi now and ask him to issue a notice saying that all the responsibilities have nothing to do with Naruto. It was my incompetence 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 for you to damage the reputation of the Hokage.

I believe that the Daimyo would not want to hear the rumor that the Hokage he chose is a waste who can't even teach his apprentice. The disaster was caused by the combination of external troubles and internal thieves. This is the best explanation.

In addition, 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 and shout, everyone will discriminate against him and humiliate him because he is the descendant of you, a murderer. Think carefully, are you really willing to let your only blood live this kind of life? "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

Danzo's mouth curled up, he knew that he had persuaded the third generation.

"Huruzen, the matter is done. It's not a problem to let Uzumaki Naruto take the blame again. I promise you that he won't be hurt. At most, he will be punished a little. It will be fine after calming down the public's anger. Anyway, he has been wronged once, and it's harmless to do it 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 of the will of fire? I believe he will be willing to sacrifice for the village."

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

"Leave it to me." Danzo smiled.

Ta da.

He opened the door with a cane.

Before leaving, he looked back at the Sandai and said: "Huruzen, you won't regret making this decision."
