Chapter 27: I am the Hokage

What a scheme... such a good scheme...

The entire village of Konoha despises Naruto, and you just happened to appear in Naruto's childhood, giving him hope, a goal, and grandfatherly care, but you didn't give me any chance to get close to him.

You used false love and time, and the frequent provision of resources as an investment, to make Naruto have more goodwill towards you. For this, you didn't hesitate to let me take the blame.

Now, under your care, Naruto has mastered the power of the Tailed Beast without my knowledge. And because he has mastered the power of the Tailed Beast, he has become dissatisfied with his situation and tries to reverse it directly with power.

He succeeded. The aura of the Nine-Tails' chakra is enough to make the villagers of Konoha fearful, making them sacrifice their own interests, violate their own hearts, and work for Naruto.

Haha... ridiculous!

I thought it was a leak of Nine-Tails' chakra, or there was a problem with the seal. But from beginning to end, it was just a scheme by Hiruzen! He anticipated Naruto's behavior and my actions from the beginning. So, in order to completely cut off the possibility of Naruto and I interacting, he let us meet.

Now, Naruto has confirmed that our Root is not a good organization and has established the title of attack. He will definitely not join our Root or cooperate in any way. Hiruzen's goal has been achieved.

What a cunning old man!

You're truly... Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Such a dark heart!

...

"Let's go back to Root and prepare to change our base." Danzo turned his head and said. His voice is very cold now.

He has already anticipated that Naruto, who knows nothing, will definitely report his attack to Hiruzen. Then, Hiruzen will scold him again using his identity as the Third Hokage and ask him to disband Root again.

Humph, others may not understand you, but don't I understand you old fox?

We are all thousand-year-old foxes...

What sort of scheme are you trying to pull on me?

Now, Danzo's best solution is to preserve the core strength of Root, disperse the grassroots level, change the base, and then secretly take root underground again.

He is very familiar with this kind of thing. After all, it's not the first time that Hiruzen has tricked him. Danzo has been tricked so many times that he has experience.

I didn't expect to be this experienced, you know!

But what can I do?

He is the Hokage!

...

"Hmm, they've retreated?"

Naruto muttered to himself, looking into the distance.

His perception is strong. Even if Danzo waiting for him far away, Naruto could sense it. Now that Danzo has left after witnessing the Tailed Beast Bomb, Naruto naturally knows.

He moved his body slightly, withdrew the Nine-Tails' chakra, and returned to Konoha. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "It's really not good for Konoha to be attacked and drawn out of the village. Maybe it's a good idea to use this as an excuse to put pressure on the Third Hokage?"

That old man should still be watching me. After all, the feeling of being spied on hasn't disappeared. But it doesn't matter. Since the Third Hokage is watching me, he should know that I can freely control the power of the Nine-Tails. When he faces me, he will be cautious and afraid of the power of the Nine-Tails erupting.

Respect and equality sometimes don't require a little bit of enlightening those who are prejudiced. You just need to put a knife on their necks, and their expressions will change from shitty evil to flattering and diligent smiles.

You have to learn to solve problems from the root!

Why has Naruto become like this? Why is he despised, hated, and not given any due respect by the people in the village? Is it really because of his problem?

No, absolutely not. It's because the upper echelons of Konoha have hidden things that shouldn't be hidden so well, and left things that should be hidden lonely. The mistake lies with those people.

So, the best way to solve the problem is definitely not to persist alone and go against the wind in the face of countless people's disgust. The most important thing to do is to first solve the problems within Konoha's upper echelons. As long as they change, the people below will naturally change quickly.

When Naruto had no strength, he was bullied and insulted by the village. The Third Hokage definitely didn't care about it and had an indifferent attitude after seeing it.

But now that he has discovered that Naruto can control the power of Nine-Tails, when he sees other villagers doing stupid things again, he will become particularly uneasy. It's like seeing someone in the village messing with a nuclear bomb switch, which could blow up an entire village at any time.

Can he sit still?

...

An hour later, in the Hokage's office

"Hey, Third Hokage, I was attacked in Konoha. The leader is Danzo," Naruto said, standing in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk with his hands in his pockets.

Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still wearing the large Hokage robe on the surface, but he has already changed into a battle suit inside, ready for Naruto to erupt at any time and to die with him.

Although he doesn't want to see this situation...

But preparation is necessary!

"Hoo~"

The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe and slowly exhaled the white smoke, "The attackers are from a special organization called Root. The people in this organization are not under my management, but are led by Danzo."

"Click."

The door of the Hokage's office was opened, and Danzo walked in with a gloomy face. He had heard what the Third Hokage said just now behind the door, and he could easily predict what this old fox would do next.

Anyway, it's just another pitfall for him, attributing all the crime to him, and then forcibly disbanding Root again, making him the true guardian of Konoha in the dark a.k.a the scapegoat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, you F*cker!

Sneakily manipulating Naruto to control the Nine-Tails, and then taking advantage of the fact that Naruto doesn't know anything, you shift all the negative things onto me. And then, you continue to play the role of a kind and gentle old man, while I get cursed at by Naruto eight thousand times a day, and our family tree gets f*cked every day.

Ah, for Konoha... forget it...

The big tree under the sun cannot be seen in the dark. As long as it is bright and beautiful, it is good. I am the root that is shrouded in darkness, the embodiment of sin.

"This old man, your aura... You seem to be a bit familiar," Naruto said with his eyes squinted and his arms crossed as he looked at Danzo who walked into the room.

"Hmph!"

Danzo snorted coldly with a very bad face.

He didn't deliberately make a face, but his mood was really bad. Danzo was never scapegoated without knowing it. Instead, he did all kinds of dirty things under knowing circumstances. It's too normal for him not to put down a stinky face.

"Danzo, why did you act on your own? I didn't let give you permission to touch the Jinchuriki!" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Danzo with burning eyes.

"Hmph, Nine-Tails is very important to Konoha. It's necessary to use some tough methods to control Jinchuriki. Now his strength has exceeded your control. You will definitely regret it, Sarutobi!" Danzo retorted without showing weakness.

"Shut up, I am the Hokage!"

The Third Hokage shouted while slapping the table.
