When Naruto went to Tomoki's house after school, it wasn't just Danzo who was paying attention.
As the Hokage of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen would know almost any movement in Konoha.
Naruto went to the Uchiha clan's territory this time. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether Tomoki had any plan in mind, but he had to consider what he should do when the Uchiha clan planned to use Naruto.
When the barrier rose, an Anbu ninja immediately reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew that this was Danzo's work, but he was not sure about the true purpose of the Uchiha clan and the true strength of Uchiha Tomoki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who regards Konoha as above all else, will not have any direct conflict with the Uchiha, and Danzo's actions were not authorized by him, but he is happy to see it happen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could see clearly what was in Danzo's mind, and the result of Danzo's action determined his next move.
If Danzo succeeds, it means that the Uchiha are not to be feared. He can just let Danzo and the Uchiha continue to fight each other, and he just needs to take Naruto back from Danzo.
As for Danzo's reluctance to hand over Naruto? That's for sure, but he is confident enough to make Danzo hand over Naruto in the end, just because he is the Hokage of Konoha!
And if Danzo failed, it would mean that the power of the Uchiha clan was still not to be underestimated. Then he would have to protect Danzo at the critical moment and could not allow a powerful Uchiha to develop in Konoha without any constraints.
The reason why the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was so scheming was not only for the stability of the village, but more importantly, he was already 63 years old.
The decline in strength over the past 20 years has made him lose the charm of his youth. With no successor, he can only try his best to maintain the stability of Konoha. At least when the fifth generation took office, Konoha was still strong.
Sarutobi Hiruzen himself didn't know where the fifth generation of Konoha was. Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade flashed through his mind.
Finally, the figure of Uchiha Tomoki appeared in his mind. No matter who it was, it would never be your Uchiha clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt sad and lost about his disciple's departure, but the only thing he didn't feel was regret. He didn't regret anything he had done.
Everything was for Konoha, just like watching the battle between the Root and the Uchiha at this moment.
It didn't take too long, and soon the Anbu came with news that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was safe and sound, the Anbu ninjas were either dead or injured, but Uchiha Tomoki and Uchiha Shisui were unharmed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the large Hokage robe, revealing his black combat uniform and layered armor.
"Let's go and clean up the mess."
Then he led the Anbu towards the Uchiha clan.
After Tomoki slaughtered the few remaining Root Ninjas, the Root Ninjas responsible for maintaining the barrier saw that the situation was hopeless and chose to retreat without caring about their companions who were still fighting hard.
The moment the barrier disappeared, dozens of security ninjas who had been outside the barrier quickly arrived.
"Master Patriarch."
"Minister."
Different names came out of the mouths of these ninjas.
As a ninja of the Security Department, he should call Youshu "Captain".
But it involves a question of identity recognition: should one identify more with one's own identity as a member of the Uchiha clan, or with one's own identity as a member of the security department?
Tomoki didn't pay attention to his subordinates who came over. The disappearance of the barrier meant that he no longer had to use such inefficient fighting methods.
Although in the eyes of bystanders, that unparalleled physical combat was much more exciting than Tomoki's previous battle where he directly used himself as a ninjutsu turret to kill everyone with one blow.
However, close combat is not only tiring but also carries more risks.
Without hesitation, Youshu released a high-temperature flame shock wave from his hands, mixed with hellfire.
The moment of contact melts the enemy's body, and the hellfire within it burns the enemy's soul.
Youshu felt that high-temperature flames combined with hellfire would truly reduce someone to ashes, the kind that even the Impure World Reincarnation could not save.
After the battle, Youshu asked his subordinates to collect the bodies, as they were all evidence.
He came in front of Naruto, who was staring at Tomoki blankly with admiration in his eyes.
"Naruto, won't you give me my clothes back?"
Naruto came to his senses and quickly gave the clothes in his hand to Tomoki.
As Youshu put on his clothes, he looked at Naruto who was still silent and said with a smile, "The mission is over, Naruto, you can talk now."
After saying this, Naruto started talking.
"Brother Youshu, you are really super awesome."
"How did you do that whole body glowing trick? It's so cool. Can I learn such an amazing trick in the future?"
"Also, Brother Youshu, are those wings made of fire? But how can fire be transformed into wings? Where can I learn this?"
"Brother Youshu, and that..."
Watching Naruto gesticulating and asking questions, he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable because of the death of his enemy.
He remembered that when Naruto faced a battle for the first time, he was so scared that he froze in place.
It seems that perhaps because he is young, he has not yet realized the cruelty and danger of ninja battles, and only sees the magnificence and excitement of ninja battles.
"That glowing Naruto will be able to learn it in the future, and it will be even cooler than mine."
"But as for the wings, it depends on your chakra attribute, Naruto."
"As for…"
Tomoki answered Naruto's questions one by one with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Minister, all the bodies have been collected." At this time, Ryusuke came to Tomoki and reported.
"Naruto, I have some things to take care of. How about letting Shisui take you home from now on?"
"Yeah, sure. Actually, I can go back by myself."
Naruto, who had just witnessed a battle, actually wanted to go back alone. Tomoki was speechless.
"Is it the influence of Ashura's chakra or did he inherit the Fourth Hokage's stupidity?" Tomoki couldn't think of an answer.
"Then it's settled."
"Shisui, you are responsible for taking Naruto home."
"Ryusuke, have the brothers from the Security Department take the attacker's body and we'll go to the Hokage Building."
Tomoki gave orders directly to everyone, but as soon as Tomoki finished speaking, another voice sounded.
"Don't bother, Chief Youshu, I'm already here."
Tomoki turned around and saw a team of more than 20 people coming over, led by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Seeing that the person coming was the Sandaime, he took off his usual divine robe and put on a black tight combat uniform with layered armor that was common during the Warring States Period.
He walked forward step by step with his subordinates, his aura fully revealed, as if he had regained the style of the ninja hero during the Second Ninja World War.
The members of the security department looked at this situation and tightened their weapons.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and his subordinates walked to a position about ten steps away from Tomoki and stopped. The ninjas following them were all elite members of the Anbu, and each of them had a powerful aura.
The atmosphere between the two camps was very solemn. A breeze blew by, and the moon, which was covered by clouds, half appeared.
The soft moonlight coated the grass in the field, which was bent by the wind, with a silver coat.
Both sides remained motionless and the atmosphere was frozen.
At this time, Youshu laughed silently, although both sides looked serious.
But Tomoki knew that the battle could not start. If it was Danzo who came, the fight would have ended in a fight to the death. Tomoki did not intend to miss such a good opportunity.
Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned. The one coming is the third generation, and both sides have no reason to fight now.
Therefore, after laughing, Youshu said in an extremely heavy tone.
"Hokage-sama, Elder Danzo has betrayed the village!"
