[Sage Body] plus [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan].
Natsume estimated that his overall strength was already at the mid-to-upper level of the Super Shadow level.
Even compared to Hashirama and Madara at their peak, they shouldn't be too far behind.
Of course, we really have to compare it with the two wall hangings who lived through the Warring States Period, had extremely rich practical experience, and had superb dancing skills.
There must be many gaps.
Even if they have the same strength, Natsume, who is only ten years old, is probably no match for those two people.
This is not about 'growing others' ambitions and destroying one's own prestige'.
But just tell the truth.
Only then did he realize his own shortcomings.
Only in this way can we better make up for our shortcomings and improve ourselves.
However, in general, with his current strength, it is basically more than enough to dominate the entire ninja world.
Next.
It's time to get acquainted with his strength, which has skyrocketed in recent times.
But, before precipitation.
He finally made a scene in Konoha.
Let the [Dawn] organization and other hidden villages take so many scapegoats...
No matter what, we have to let these attacks have some effect.
The ninja world during this period was still too peaceful!
And if his hidden village wants to rise, it can only disrupt the entire ninja world and this river.
Only then can we ride on the wind and take advantage of the situation.
Come to think of it, Konoha is absolutely furious right now, and the wind is roaring, right?
All it takes is one final kick of his own, and it's time for a full-scale explosion.
As for this last kick.
It’s probably time to arrive in Konoha…
…
Just as Natsume expected.
The situation in Konoha at this moment is indeed not optimistic.
A large number of protesting villagers gathered in front of the Hokage's office building.
Demand that the truth be found out and those behind the [Orphanage] severely punished!
For a time, the pressure on Konoha's top management doubled.
Originally, if it was just a thunderstorm in the [Orphanage], the impact would not be so great.
But in addition: the tragic death of the consultant, the theft of the treasury, the invasion of tailed beasts... and they all hit the door of their own village.
Wait for a series of surprises.
It directly made most of Konoha feel tense and panicked.
I'm afraid that war will break out again.
Moreover, once there is a war.
People are bound to die, and orphans are bound to increase.
Seeing how Konoha is now, the orphanage has become a devil's cave, who dares to fight on the battlefield?
Aren't you afraid that your son will also be sent to the devil's cave?
Fortunately for the children of big ninja families, after their parents are killed in battle, the family can raise the orphans on their behalf.
But how can most civilian ninjas be treated like this?
Once he dies, his son or daughter will have to be sent to an [orphanage] and then allowed to be bullied by others...
Didn't you look at the once famous fourth generation Hokage Minato, but now his sons are being squeezed out like that?
Therefore, in the eyes of many civilian ninjas.
[Finding the truth and severely punishing the culprits] has naturally become the primary goal!
Otherwise, they won’t even feel at ease fighting a war!
In this regard, many ninja clans also maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
After all, in recent years.
The expansion of the Anbu and roots of Konoha and the suppression of many ninja families are really a bit excessive.
The division and tragedy of the Uchiha clan is a lesson from the past.
Therefore, these big families don't mind taking the opportunity to force the high-level officials of Konoha to put some pressure on them.
…
now.
Inside the Hokage's office.
The elderly Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi was standing in front of the window, looking down at the large group of excited protesting ninjas below, listening to the complicated accusations and curses.
"How many people are down there?"
Sarutobi frowned and asked sadly.
This is the first time such a large-scale protest has occurred in all the years he has succeeded as Hokage!
"There are already more than 700 people..."
An ANBU member quickly answered.
"Lord Hokage, do you need to take action to disperse these people?"
Sarutobi shook his head:
"No need. Their demands are reasonable. Regarding the issue of the [Orphanage], they should be given a reasonable explanation."
"Moreover, this problem also involves the roots and the dark side. Letting you come forward will only aggravate the conflict..."
Sarutobi still has basic judgment ability.
No violent eviction was used to deal with these protesting villagers.
So as not to spawn greater riots.
In short, Konoha right now is like a powder keg.
I can't resist any stimulation.
"Hokage-sama, what about us?"
"Why……"
Sarutobi sighed and ordered:
"Let the Hokage assist you."
"As you command!"
The ANBU ninja immediately stepped away to invite a certain Danzo-sama.
obviously.
After the thunderstorm in the [Orphanage], Sarutobi knew immediately.
The mastermind behind it must be Danzo!
Only he has the ability, opportunity, and cruelty to do such a cruel thing.
If it were the past, a small punishment or a big warning would be enough.
But this time, the impact of the [Orphanage] problem is too great!
Already aroused public outrage!
The anger of so many people cannot be calmed down simply!
Therefore, Sarutobi was struggling just now.
But now it seems that in order to quell public anger, Danzo and Genbe must be severely punished!
…
soon.
Danzo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed into the Hokage's office.
Then, the other guards exited one after another and closed the door on their own initiative.
In just a moment, the familiar sound of arguing came from the office again.
"Danzo!"
"Hiruzen!"
…
The dispute lasted for nearly ten minutes before finally ending.
And, compared to the past.
This time, Sarutobi was obviously angrier.
If it were not for seeing that Danzo's legs were disabled and his injuries were not healed.
He almost wanted to beat up Danzo.
You know, Danzo and his roots did deal with a lot of darkness for the village before and took a lot of blame.
But what about recently?
It was he who forced the Uchiha clan to rebel;
He was also the one who killed dozens of elite ninjas;
It was he who even secretly invaded the orphanage and caused this huge protest;
Now that things have come to a point, Sarutobi can no longer protect him.
"Duanzo! This incident has caused too much trouble and I can no longer tolerate you."
"From this moment on, you are officially dismissed from your position as Assistant Hokage!"
"But, Hiruzen, I..."
Danzo was suddenly shocked, very unwilling, and quickly wanted to defend himself.
But this time, Sarutobi was very decisive.
He scolded directly:
"Stop making excuses."
"This is for your own good too."
"Also, stop all those inhuman training at Genbu! At the same time, Genbu is not allowed to participate in any actions without my instructions!"
"I will personally be responsible for appeasing the people and rebuilding the [orphanage]."
"The treatment for you will be officially distributed to the whole village later!"
"Until then, you will be confined at home and reflect on what you have done!"
Sarutobi is still Hokage after all.
He has almost absolute control over Danzo, who is the Hokage's assistant.
One sentence or a few decrees can directly deprive Danzo of most of his real power.
After all, Sarutobi knew better.
There is no punishment more painful for Danzo than the deprivation of actual power.
foreseeable.
After losing the position of Hokage's assistant and the actual command of the roots.
For a long time, Danzo will be like a crossbow that has lost its arrows, unable to cause trouble.
but.
Although this punishment is severe, it is also for Danzo's sake.
Otherwise, the hundreds of angry protesters outside would probably tear Danzo alive...
Last night, Sarutobi had already lost Koharu, and he really didn't want to lose another old comrade.
