Regarding Naruto learning ninjutsu and going to a ninja school, the top management of Konoha actually had a heated debate.
Of course, Danzo was the only one arguing the whole process.
When he first heard that Naruto Uzumaki had not yet entered school and had learned C-level ninjutsu without a teacher at the age of five, Danzo, who was originally indifferent, was stunned.
What kind of talent is this?
Even Namikaze Minato doesn't have this kind of ninjutsu talent!
Then he heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen actually wanted to send such a genius to a ninja school to play house, and Danzo instantly came back to his senses.
Bang! !
He patted the table to attract the attention of the other three people.
Then he stood up and said seriously: "The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is so talented. Once he has any thoughts that he shouldn't have, the threat to Konoha will be too great!"
But after only a few seconds of serious business, Danzo caught on and said, "Why don't you give it to Genbe and let me train him into a real weapon!"
After saying that, Danzo glanced down with his one eye, looking at Mito Kadoen and Koharu who were sleeping in silence.
"Huh? Hmm."
Mito Katoen came to his senses when he saw Danzo's eyes: "I agree with Danzo. The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's talent is so high, it is indeed dangerous to leave it alone."
"……Seconded."
Xiaochun's eyes twitched when he went to bed, and he also echoed.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen just took a deep puff of his cigarette and said solemnly: "Naruto will not leave it to the roots. He is a staunch successor to the Will of Fire."
Will of fire, will of fire, will of fire again! !
Danzo was so angry that his heart clenched, and he roared: "You are wasting the talent of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki! You..."
Snapped!
But before he could finish speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw three pamphlets directly in front of them.
"Take a look, this is a rubbing of little Naruto's diary."
Seeing the three of them looking at the booklet with confused expressions, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Which one of you has a deeper understanding of the Will of Fire than him?"
"this……"
After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan were speechless and choked up.
But Danzo felt more and more delighted as he watched.
“The more a tree yearns for the light on high, the more its roots will go downward, toward the soil, toward the depths of darkness.”
Especially this sentence, it simply spoke to his heart and directly aroused a strong resonance in him! !
Isn't this his root?
Guarding the prosperity of Konoha silently in the darkness made Konoha's branches and leaves grow stronger and stronger.
"Naruto Uzumaki, this guy is a great talent!"
If he had wanted to turn Uzumaki Naruto into an emotionless war tool.
Well now he has changed his mind.
He wants Uzumaki Naruto to become his right-hand man, and then inherit the position of leader of the root! !
"Hiruzen! You must hand over Naruto Uzumaki to me!"
Danzo looked directly into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, his eyes had never been firmer than now.
"The roots cannot give him what he needs now. What Naruto needs now is not strength, but friends and bonds."
But Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a meaningful tone: "Just like his father and mother."
Uzumaki Naruto's mother is the previous generation of Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Kushina.
She didn't have deep feelings for Konoha at first, but by "coincidence" she was rescued by the hero Minato Namikaze, and she was rescued from Kumogakure alone.
Since then, Konoha has gained two more elite combat forces.
That time Danzo also asked Sarutobi Hiruzen for help, saying that he would train Uzumaki Kushina into a weapon without emotions.
But the facts proved that Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods were superior.
"Well……"
Mito Kadoen hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said: "Danzo, I think Hiruzen is right. You must give young people some opportunities."
"……Seconded."
The two major Konoha advisers once again played their roles as supporters and facilitators.
This made Danzo Shimura feel more angry.
The discussion that follows is very simple.
"I will make Uzumaki Naruto no longer a threat!"
"Danzo, Naruto himself poses no threat."
"I will make Uzumaki Naruto the successor to the root!!"
"Danzo, Naruto is more suitable to be Hokage."
"Hiruzen! You will regret it!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage."
Danzo blushed and argued hard, while Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected it mercilessly with an expressionless face.
In the end, Sarutobi once again said "I am the Hokage", successfully rendering Danzo speechless, and finally walked away angrily.
This discussion also ended completely, and Naruto got the opportunity to enter the ninja school.
…………
"Third generation grandfather!"
Naruto's voice interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
He came back to his senses and looked at the angry little Naruto.
"You didn't listen to me!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said: "Sorry, sorry, I am getting distracted easily as I get older. What did you just say?"
Looking at the small Naruto in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.
Whether it is talent, character, or even ideological consciousness, little Naruto is better than his father.
There are geniuses in Konoha from generation to generation, smart counselors like Nara, and one-on-three warriors like Uchiha.
However, there are too few people who are as talented as Naruto.
And he is still the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. As long as he can grow up smoothly, he will definitely go further in the future.
Why is Konoha unhappy?
"I said, it will be my birthday in a while. Third generation grandfather, do you want to come and celebrate my birthday with me?"
"certainly……"
Looking at little Naruto's expectant eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to agree without hesitation.
This is a great opportunity to win over people's hearts.
But suddenly thinking of the mess between the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, he began to hesitate again.
"The Hyuga clan has been urging me to discuss something important, and the Uchiha clan is ready to make a move. I must find a way to figure out their plans."
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision in his heart, and touched little Naruto's head with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Naruto, you know, I'm usually busy with government affairs, so it's probably difficult to spare time to celebrate your birthday with you. .”
"Although I can't give you a definite answer, I promise to celebrate your birthday after work, okay?"
"Oh fine……"
Looking at little Naruto who lowered his head in frustration, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt helpless and a little secretly happy.
It seems that his affinity is still very high, and Naruto has regarded him as a family member that he can rely on and trust.
But little did he know that little Naruto was currently complaining madly to Menma in his head.
"The third-generation grandpa is lying again. Every time we meet, he never tells the truth. Are all elderly people like this?"
Menma smiled and said: "People love lies, not only because they are afraid of the hardships of finding out the truth, but also because they have a natural but decadent love for lies themselves."
A lie must be covered up by countless lies.
For Naruto, sincerity is the most powerful weapon.
It's a pity that some people will never understand such a simple truth in their lifetime.
