Seeing Shimura Danzo pointing his finger at himself and the others, Mitokado Homura immediately retorted: “We agreed to suppress Sakumo, but did we ever let you force him to commit suicide?”
“Hmph!” With a cold snort, Shimura Danzo continued, “Don’t laugh. If you didn’t agree, do you have another option? You can’t tell me because you at that time would have no ability to stop it.”
The three people present were dumbstruck and unable to reply. There was no way to refute. After all, that was precisely the case.
If the four people present disagreed with this approach, Hatake Sakumo, who was the leader of Anbu, would have spread the content of his task.
Because of this, Hatake Sakumo understood Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others’ intentions. He avoided fighting with them and chose to commit suicide in the end.
The reason why they made this decision was very simple. It was because, at the time, Hatake Sakumo was already the next Hokage that everyone expected, but this does not mean that Hatake Sakumo is the ideal candidate for their mind.
After all, to them, only people like Namikaze Minato who would sacrifice their lives, family, and everything for Konoha are the best candidates for Hokage. And Hatake Sakumo is obviously not such a person. The mission he gave up to save his companions meant that he was not suitable for Hokage. Therefore, he, who was too popular, had become the ‘unstable factor’ in the hearts of several old fellows.
Death was the best attribution for Hatake Sakumo. The same was true for Orochimaru.
Now that Namikaze Minato was selected, Orochimaru naturally became an unstable factor. It must be eradicated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to condemn Orochimaru for continuing to do human research. After all, in the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally agreed to the research.
Seeing the awkward scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and deliberately closed the topic: “Forget it. Don’t talk about the past. The Uchiha Clan- if we can’t do it, it’s better not to do it. If Konoha lose a great clan like Uchiha, then the other Four-Great Ninja Villages may take advantage of it. Moreover, the Uchiha Clan has now been surrounded by the regiments at each of the Great Clan’s stations. No major event can happen. Let’s take a look first.”
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the door.
“Report, Lord-Hokage. Uzumaki Naruto is desperately trying to rush into Hokage Residence. Even if someone tried to block him, he would not care.”
When the four heard the words, they were slightly confused, and they all looked at each other.
Truthfully, when they heard this person outside the door talking about Uzumaki Naruto, the people in the Conference Hall almost forgot that Naruto is Namikaze Minato’s son.
After all, since the Demon Fox incident, most of the time, in addition to dealing with official business, they have also focused on the “unstable factor” of the Uchiha Clan.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen sent someone to monitor Naruto for 24 hours, he didn’t pay much attention. At most, he would visit once every one or two months.
The same was true for Shimura Danzo.
In the beginning, there were only two purposes for deliberately leaking the news that Naruto was the “Demon Fox”.
1) See if you can gain control of Uzumaki Naruto and train Naruto.
2) If no one knows that Naruto is Jinchuriki, then Sarutobi Hiruzen had an excuse to continue to delay the Uchiha clan’s incident. Even if the Uchiha clan rebelled, the harm would still be under his control.
However, since everyone knows that Uzumaki Naruto is Jinchuriki, if Uchiha Clan decides to rebel, they will definitely try to take Naruto. This means that the Uchiha Clan’s rebellion will be out of control.
So, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to decide as soon as possible to solve the “time bomb” of the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, for the above reasons, the old fellows in the Conference Hall did not have time to care for Naruto. This also caused Naruto to be piling frustrations all the time.
Dumbfounded for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen casually instructed: “Let him come in.”
After the order was passed on, there was a sound of rapid footsteps in the corridor outside the conference room. He didn’t even knock on the door. Naruto just pushed the door open and ran in excitedly.
He saw the scene in Conference Hall. He was stunned at first, but soon, he subconsciously ignored the others in the field of view. Only the Grandpa Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was left.
He walked up quickly and climbed to the table with his left hand in his waist. His right hand pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said vigorously, “Old fogey! I ask you! Why did you hide that my dad is Fourth-Hokage?!”
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the Conference Hall suddenly became extremely solemn.
Shimura Danzo’s tone became serious. “Who told you about this?”
Naruto looked at this one-eyed guy. Naruto didn’t recognize him. Regardless, he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen again, waiting for his reply. And Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face became ugly.
It didn’t matter who told Naruto the truth. The old fellows in the Conference Hall paid more attention to Naruto’s Jinchuriki than Naruto himself. After all, they couldn’t let a Konoha-hostile Jinchuriki come back again.
So, he asked the same question, but compared to Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked much more kind: “Naruto, can you tell Grandpa Hokage first, who told you that the Fourth-Hokage is your father?”
Naruto Uzumaki still didn’t notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere and said very angrily: “Hmph! Don’t try to lie to me again! It was my dad who told me personally! I saw my dad and mom with my own eyes!”
Mitokado Homura: “You saw Minato with your own eyes? How is that possible?”
Utatane Koharu: “Naruto, tell us what’s going on!”
Hearing the news that Namikaze Minato still existed, their expressions were varied.
Excited. Guilty. And there was worry.
As for Shimura Danzo’s expression, it’s as ugly as eating shit.
Uzumaki Naruto did not understand why they care so much about this matter.
“I saw a cage with a big fox. The fox told me to tear off the charm on the cage, and then dad and mom came out.”
Although the description was not too clear, old fellows with broad knowledge can guess a rough idea, except that Namikaze Minato left a countermeasure.
After knowing the cause of the matter, they were relaxed. But their emotions were quickly stretched and taut again because they captured one of the main points in Naruto’s words!
Fox…… Kyuubi, Demon Fox, actually asked Naruto to tear off the seal? That can be done?!
