Chapter 48: Public Apology

On the bloody night when the Uchiha were annihilated, over two years ago, Kakashi first learned that his master's son was still alive, thus regaining a bit of passion for life.

To be honest, he has been saddened by seeing Naruto, who has been so tough for the past two years.

Reality, but powerless.

Now he has finally changed, which is great.

Sasuke, on the other hand, is obviously a bit confused.

Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato?

Is he Naruto's father?

He thought Naruto was just an ordinary civilian child.

However, this did not make Sasuke feel jealous and dissatisfied, but rather he sympathized with his friend for how he had lived his entire childhood.

This contrast between status and treatment really makes people...

After a pause, Hiruzen spoke again: "Now that Naruto has grown up and has enough strength to protect himself, there will be no more danger in announcing your identity."

"Starting tomorrow, I will announce Naruto's identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato to all the villagers of the village."

After that, he looked at Naruto with anticipation and a smile on his face.

At that moment, Naruto looked at Hiruzen in surprise.

His goal at first was simply to eliminate potential conflicts and battles with the village. As for other things, it is not his concern and is optional.

This situation is a surprise to him.

Although Naruto doesn't care what the villagers think of him, no one wants to stay in that kind of environment where they are ignored.

However, for Hiruzen, Naruto still only has indifference in his heart.

This tactic of eliminating and winning the pot is really clever. If he were just a normal 10-year-old child, Hiruzen could deceive him.

However, he underestimated Naruto's wisdom.

If Hiruzen took advantage of the situation and returned to him the secret arts and inheritance of his father and mother, then Naruto might look up to him a bit more.

But at that moment, he didn't say much. He simply nodded and bowed slightly to thank him: "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

At this moment, Hiruzen looked at the puzzled Sasuke, then at the excited Kakashi, and finally his eyes rested on the expressionless Naruto, and he sighed lightly in his heart:

"Perhaps, Jiraiya can retrieve him!"

...

Root

At this moment, all of Danzo's men who were scattered among the various Anbu squads gathered, kneeling in front of Danzo and waiting for orders.

Looking at the many men in front of him, Danzo was in a good mood.

The explosion of the Nine-Tails' power is a great crisis for the entire village, but for Danzo, it is also a great opportunity.

From the situation seen earlier in Sarutobi Hiruzen's crystal ball, it can be known that the brat's seal has fully opened.

It is foreseeable that a bloody battle will ensue next.

As time passed, the Nine-Tails' aura in the air grew increasingly intense.

This phenomenon has confirmed Danzo's assumption.

Danzo still knows his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen still has strength at this moment, but against the Nine-Tails, he is like a small child.

If he wants to save the village under the threat of the Nine-Tails, he would have to perform the same sealing technique that Minato used.

And eventually, he would die.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, he will lose his life.

At that moment, the time has come for him to take full control of Konoha.

At this moment, Danzo is filled with ambition.

I have been fantasizing about fulfilling his long-awaited desire for many years.

Successfully becoming the Fifth Hokage of the Leaf and eventually unifying the Elemental Nations under his name.

And this fantasy, accompanied by the most intense killer chakra of the Nine-Tails in the air, seemed to be about to come true.

.....!!....

However, at a certain moment, the strong killer aura in the air suddenly dissipated.

The impending oppressive atmosphere quickly dissipated.

Then, not long after, a Root ninja who was searching for news hurried back and appeared in front of Danzo.

He knelt down and reported to Danzo: "Danzo-sama, the loss of control of the Jinchuriki has stopped, instead, there is a golden chakra covering him completely!".

Now, the Hokage has dismissed the Jounin who had gathered earlier and the evacuated villagers are also returning to their homes."

Upon hearing this, Danzo's expression changed.

The previous phenomenon was the leakage of malicious chakra, was the brat trying to become a perfect Jinchuriki?

And he has successfully done so.

Naturally, Danzo knew some things.

And this also means that all his beautiful illusions now were completely turned to ashes.

At this moment, Danzo's complexion was extremely ugly and his feelings were extremely complicated.

However, before digesting the indescribable taste in his heart, another ninja soon appeared in front of him.

This Root ninja is a ninja who was previously used as a seal squad and followed Hiruzen to intercept Naruto.

"Danzo-sama, the Hokage has asked me to send you an order, you must publicly apologize for spreading the unfounded rumor that he is a Demon Fox within three days!".

Danzo: "….".
