Konoha, was reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Chapter 18 Family First

Not to mention Danzo's efforts for Hokage.

In the office, Men Yan and Xiaochun did not leave immediately.

Unlike Danzo who could ditch Hiruzen and leave, they were advisors to the Hokage and would have to assist Hiruzen in handling matters in the future. Too much trouble with Hiruzen would not be good for their situation.

After all, their power in front of other ninjas relies on the name of Hiruzen, the Hokage.

"Sorry, Hiruzen..."

The two of them sincerely apologized to the Third Hokage, saying that they had been irritable before and did not mean to disrespect the Third Hokage's identity.

Sandai waved his hand and said: "It's okay. You can go out first. I want to be quiet."

"Well, call us if you need anything."

Men Yan and Xiao Chun retreated, and only Sandai was left in the huge Hokage's office.

"Do you want to establish a root?"

The third generation was thinking in his mind. He did not completely reject Danzo's proposal. The danger of the Uchiha clan always existed. Even if Danzo didn't mention it, he would be prepared.

But... Danzo's desire to replace him is very obvious, and he knows it very well in his heart.

The reason why Danzo didn't get a high-level position after he became Hokage was all because of him.

Why didn't Danzo get involved with the higher-ups of Hokage?

It's not because this guy, like the Uchiha clan, wants to take him down so that he can become Hokage, so he is not given a chance to climb up.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have refused to give his friend who once lived and died together a high-level position and enjoy the benefits brought by him becoming Hokage.

However, after so many years, his position as Hokage became more and more stable, and the third generation felt that maybe he could give Danzo some rights.

Moreover... what Gen is going to do is destined not to bring Danzo any good reputation.

Without everyone's approval, it would be impossible for Danzo to replace him as Hokage.

Compared to Danzo, the Third Generation felt that the current and future Uchiha were more of a threat to his position as Hokage.

Thinking of this, Sandai made a decision in his mind.

……

"Master Patriarch, you are looking for me."

The Shimura clan was sitting on the east side of the village, close to the Sarutobi clan. At this time, in the clan hall, an ANBU ninja wearing a white wavy striped mask knelt down in front of Danzo.

Danzo is now the leader of the Shimura clan.

Although the Third Generation prohibited Danzo from serving in the top ranks of Hokage, many ninjas from the Shimura clan served in various departments in Konoha, and these ninjas were personally promoted by the Third Generation.

Among them, there are three ninjas from the Shimura clan in ANBU alone.

In terms of the special nature of Anbu, a ninja clan will generally only choose one person to enter. Any more will weaken the Hokage's control over Anbu.

Today's Konoha is essentially an alliance composed of ninja clans.

In addition to the label of Konoha, Konoha ninjas also have the label of the ninja clan, and in the face of interests, the label of ninja is more important.

Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of other ninja clans in Konoha on the ANBU, there will not be more than two ninjas from the ANBU clan.

However, three people from the Shimura clan entered the ANBU.

This shows that the third generation trusts the Shimura clan ninjas.

However, it is also understandable that the Shimura clan and the Sarutobi clan have been good allies since the Warring States Period. They have supported each other all the way to this day, and they can be said to have a deep friendship.

The clan leader of this generation, Danzo and the Third Generation were good friends who grew up together, and their relationship was much better than that between Mito Monobu, Koharu and the Third Generation.

Therefore, Danzo, who is not the Hokage's advisor, can enter and leave the Hokage's office at will without anyone stopping him. Now, he even called the family ninja who serves in the ANBU to inquire.

"Who did the ANBU bring back last night?"

The two Uchiha brats had the same idea as last night, or many people had the same idea. Everyone wanted to know the reason for a person who asked the Hokage to personally escort him back to the ANBU station.

Danzo is no exception.

"I don't know. Last night was a mission from the bomb squad. It lasted only a short time, probably less than 10 minutes. When the prisoner came back, he was sent to interrogation room No. [-]. The bomb squad was responsible for guarding it. No one else was allowed to interfere or pass it out. News, violators will be punished as traitors and forbearance."

The ANBU ninjas of the Shimura clan told everything they knew, without paying any attention to the ANBU regulations on leaking secrets.

In other words, he was more afraid of the dire consequences of disobeying the clan leader's orders than being punished by the Hokage for being a traitor.

After all, he was the only one to be punished for being a traitor to Ninja.

If they don't obey the patriarch, his family of five will be punished as traitors.

And the concept he has long accepted is that family comes first.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with leaking ANBU secrets to the clan leader.

This is the relationship between the ninja clan in Konoha Village and the big Konoha family during this period. The family still gives priority.

"It seems like this person is very important!"

After listening to the words of the family ninja, Danzo's eyes flashed, and he was thoughtful. The arrest and custody were all carried out by the same team in order to prevent others from knowing the relevant information as much as possible.

Such a level of secrecy showed that the person in interrogation room three had a big secret, a secret that Hiruzen longed for.

Thinking of this, Danzo subconsciously wanted to ask the family ninja to spy on the prisoner in interrogation room three.

But in the end he held back.

Now is not the time to anger the third generation. No matter what secrets the man in interrogation room No. [-] has, once he forms the root, all the secrets of the ANBU will not escape his grasp.

"You can go back. There is no need to deliberately inquire about interrogation room No. [-]. If you hear any relevant and useful information, please report it to me."

Danzo waved his hand and dismissed the family ANBU ninja, then turned and went to his study to continue improving his root organizational structure.

<divclass="contentadv">He had a hunch that Hiruzen would definitely let him form the commanding root.

……

Naruto Office.

The third generation who was working on official documents raised his head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. The first class of the ninja school was over in a few minutes.

"Emi, go to the ninja school..."

The third generation spoke up and asked the secretary Chiba Emi next to him to call the ninja teacher from Minato's class at the ninja school to come over.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Secretary Chiba Emi walked out with her ripe peach buttocks under her black and purple slit skirt, causing the third generation's eyes to follow the rhythmic swaying of the semicircle.

This is Naruto!

How could I give up!

Sandai sighed in his heart, no one knows the happiness of being the Hokage. He has fallen deeply into it and no one can take away his happiness.

Not for a while.

Chiba Emi, the Hokage's secretary with stunning looks and curvy figure, came in with the ninja teacher from Minato's class.

"Lord Hokage."

The ninja teacher looked excited and his voice even trembled. He glanced at the Third Generation with hot eyes and then quickly lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at the Hokage.

After all, this is Lord Hokage!

The third generation smiled at this scene, feeling secretly proud in his heart.

This was the basis for his confidence that no matter how arrogant the Uchiha clan was, they would not be able to defeat him as the Hokage in the end.

Among the Konoha genin and chunin, the largest group, he has the greatest prestige, and no one can come close.

As long as this group is here and with the support of the major ninja clans, the Uchiha clan, no matter how arrogant they are, will not dare to attack him easily.

The thoughts in his heart only lasted for a moment. The third generation's gentle eyes seemed to warm people's hearts and said: "Mu Mu, I called you here because I have something to inform you."

Oh my god, Hokage-sama actually knows my name!

Mumu was so excited that he didn't even pay attention to the third generation's words. For ordinary chuunin like him, the third generation was their untouchable dream.

Nowadays, dreams have a tendency to come, how can we not make people excited and unbearable.

"Mumu." Sandai called out, waking Mumu instantly. When he reacted, his face instantly turned red. Oh my god, he actually got distracted when the Hokage was asking questions.

Mumu, who was ashamed and worried, quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I just lost my temper."

"It's okay, don't be nervous." Sandai smiled and continued: "Yao Kimura in your class may not be able to think about his parents last night. He had some physical problems and fell into a vegetative state. Now the ANBU first aid team is trying to find a solution. He may not be able to appear in school for a long time to come."

Kimura Yoshi... He's not... The ninja teacher frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking that the child was fine yesterday.

The third generation continued: "I want you to tell Kimura Yoshi's classmates not to worry too much. As the Hokage of Konoha, I will not give up any son of Konoha."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will make it clear to everyone." Although the ninja teacher still had some doubts in his heart, he chose to believe what Hokage-sama said in person.

The reason why the third generation said this is that Kimura Yoshi's disappearance needs a reasonable explanation, otherwise it will be bad if it causes unnecessary public opinion later.

Here.

Ninja School.

During the second theory class, the ninja teacher told Kimura Yoshi's situation according to the third generation's wishes.

The class suddenly heard voices of concern for Kimura Yoshi.

Only Minato felt dark, and some bad guesses kept flashing in his mind.

He was anxious, but he didn't immediately go to the Third Hokage to ask about the situation.

Minato waited until school was over in the afternoon before heading straight to the Hokage Building.

The Sandaime met Minato in the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, what happened to Yao?"

Minato got straight to the point and directly asked about his friend's situation.

The third generation looked gloomy for a moment, then chose to tell the truth: "I'm sorry Minato, that child Yoshi Kimura died a week ago. The Yoshi Kimura you saw yesterday is no longer the original Yoshi Kimura."

Sacrificed... Minato was stunned for a moment, as past scenes flashed through his mind, all the way to yesterday's scene.

"Hokage-sama, may I know who killed Yo?"

After a long silence, Minato finally spoke, with a strong murderous intention as soon as he spoke. This was the first time he had such a strong murderous intention towards a person.

"The enemy has been caught."

The third generation said: "I will make the enemy pay the price of death, so you don't need to focus on this. Studying hard is what you should be thinking about now."

The third generation had great expectations for Minato, hoping that he would become an excellent and powerful ninja in the future, and did not want him to live with a desire for revenge at a young age.

"I...I understand, Hokage-sama."

Minato took a deep breath. After all, he was not an ordinary person. He quickly realized that the enemy's affairs were confidential and were not accessible to him now.

"Then I'm going home first, Hokage-sama."

Minato did not continue what he had just said, and left to go home after saying goodbye to the third generation. He had realized that he was not strong enough to even protect his friends, and he did not want to be so powerless anymore.
