Controlling the ninja world begins with Konoha

Chapter 018 The Rejected Naruto

Sasuke glanced at Naruto sympathetically.

In his eyes, Naruto is a real tool. After taking advantage of Naruto's status as a disruptor, he will no longer say anything good to Naruto.

This is the emperor, this is the quality a politician should have.

In a political sense, the so-called alliance often only means that it ends after a deal is reached.

Only political forces with very deep backgrounds on both sides can have political alliances in the traditional sense.

Therefore, Uchiha Sasuke could not form an alliance with the Hyuga clan, nor could he form an alliance with the Fire Third Kage. He could only pull the hair on his two thighs left and right to try to maintain his balance.

But it is precisely because the hair on these two thighs is too thick and long that if they are slightly closer, they will easily prick each other, and if they are slightly further away, they will be afraid of being kicked by the other party.

Sasuke pulls both sides, just enough to maintain a delicate political balance and help them make a reference in a certain sense. This is the political value of Sasuke.

Unfortunately, Uzumaki Naruto does not have this value.

His value lies in the moment when he made a scene in the Hokage's office.

When the dust settled at that moment, when the Third Hokage determined the identity of Sasuke's disciple, Uzumaki Naruto had no use value to Uchiha Sasuke or the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage would reject him...

There is no way, this is the life of most ordinary people with no background and no talent. Their lives are spent in constant rejection.

But what followed was a moment of silence. Sasuke turned his head in surprise and looked at the Third Hokage, who was meditating and thinking, and immediately came to his senses.

Yes, this is too abnormal.

When could an orphan be brought into the Hokage's office for a trivial matter and educated by the Hokage himself?

When did a little kid get to make a big fuss in the Hokage's office and call the Third Hokage "the Third Grandpa"?

You know, in Sasuke's class, everyone calls the Third Hokage "Hokage-sama".

All of this shows that Naruto's identity is unusual.

Sasuke, who had previously regarded Naruto as the key to breaking the situation, immediately realized that the orphan child in front of him probably had an astonishing background, and was most likely related to the identity of his deceased parents.

With Sasuke's political analysis ability and strong logical thinking ability, the face of the Fourth Hokage flashed out of his mind almost immediately.

Based on Naruto's age, and excluding ninjas with too large age gaps and insufficient strength and status, only the Fourth Hokage is left who meets the conditions, plus that dazzling blond hair...

After a little reasoning, Naruto's identity and background became clear.

Another possibility is that Naruto is just an orphan in name only, and there is a powerful political force or extremely powerful relative who can influence Naruto hidden behind him.

In fact, although this possibility exists, it is so small that it can be ignored.

Therefore, Sasuke almost without hesitation judged: Uzumaki Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage.

However, judging from Naruto's daily performance, although he has been shouting that he wants to be Hokage, he has never shown the slightest hint that he is the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Judging from Naruto's temper and character, he probably doesn't know this either.

However, it doesn't matter whether he knows this or not. What matters is the attitude of those in high positions towards Naruto Uzumaki.

For example, the emperor was willing to be kind to a farmer, but would not allow him to bite his nose in the face.

And now, Naruto, not to mention kicking the Third Hokage in the face, simply wanted to make the Third Hokage lose his face, but none of the ninjas present had a strange expression.

Obviously, this is not the first time Naruto has made trouble here. They are all conniving and even getting used to Naruto's behavior.

This conveyed an important message: their tolerance was most likely due to Naruto's identity.

In fact, the fact that Uzumaki Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage is a secret among secrets, and only the Hokage and a few people know about it.

Most of the jounin and chuunin were able to allow Uzumaki Naruto to cause trouble simply because he was the village's "self-propelled nuclear bomb" - the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails.

This misunderstanding between Yin and Yang is actually not too wrong, because Uzumaki Naruto is both the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails and the son of the Fourth Hokage. This matter will not change.

Sasuke became silent again. He changed from a participant to a bystander and began to carefully observe the attitude of the Third Hokage towards Naruto.

Just the fact that the Third Hokage is thinking about whether to accept Naruto is already a very interesting statement. What will happen next?

Sasuke couldn't help but look forward to it.

If Naruto also joins the study, it will actually be beneficial to the Third Hokage.

For example, the addition of Uzumaki Naruto will prove that the third generation of Hokage really just wants to cultivate the next generation of ninjas, rather than wanting to train Uchiha Sasuke to become the next Hokage.

And this is also extremely beneficial to Uchiha Sasuke, which helps Sasuke and Naruto have a good relationship.

From a certain perspective, the connection of being from the same school can also make the relationship between the two closer.

In general, Uzumaki Naruto's participation in the conversation between the two of them has helped Sasuke confirm from the side that he is the son of the Fourth Hokage.

It can also be seen from this incident that the Third Hokage is indeed a cunning political creature.

No matter how much bullying and humiliation Naruto received in Konoha Village, and what kind of dark childhood he had.

When he said, "Your father was the Fourth Hokage. He died protecting this village. Do you want his death to be in vain and his honor to be dishonored?"

So, no matter how much Uzumaki Naruto hated this village, he could only bow his head obediently in front of the Third Hokage's words and be easily controlled by the Third Hokage.

It's so dark, so dirty, and so political.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head and asked Iruka: "Iruka, as his teacher, what do you think? Do you think he can keep up with our teaching progress?"

This question asked by the Third Hokage really surprised Sasuke. It seemed that the Third Hokage did not simply use Naruto as a weight, but really considered it from Naruto's perspective.

That's right, if Naruto can't keep up with their teaching progress, then the Third Hokage will take him with him to teach. Not only will it not help Naruto grow quickly, but it may cause him to be ineffective in his studies and accomplish nothing, making him change rapidly. Become a loser.

Moreover, Naruto, who cannot keep up, will definitely feel unbalanced and explode when looking at Sasuke, who is making rapid progress.

At that time, it is not a question of whether Naruto can become stronger, but whether he can maintain a qualified mentality and become a ninja.

If a Jinchuuriki can't even be a ninja, why do you let him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
