Naruto: Uzumaki Menma walks out of the infinite moon reading - Chapter 221

c217 Danzo-sama, you are a rare guest

After Tsunade and Naruto left, Jiraiya quickly followed them through the window, and Kakashi left quite consciously.

In the end, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other four were left, and the office fell into a brief silence.

Although the possibility that “Takamikoto” is the first generation Hokage has been basically ruled out, the masked man who is suspected to be Uchiha Madara is also quite difficult to deal with.

And judging from their dress, they are probably from two different forces.

A thousand threads.

It almost made Sarutobi Hiruzen’s head explode.

In the end, he could only put it aside helplessly and try to block the news of the outflow of Wood Release.

“Although this incident has ended, there are still problems that need to be solved as soon as possible.”

After a while, Mito Kado En was the first to break the silence and said: “In addition, Hiruzen, you should discipline Tsunade and Jiraiya. Konoha is now in a period of recovery. As members of the village, they should not act on impulse at this time.”

Obviously, Mito Kado En was very dissatisfied with Jiraiya and Tsunade.

As the “Three Ninjas of Konoha” in the honorary ninja world, they have been idle outside the village for many years.

If Tsunade and Jiraiya had not left Konoha, how could they be so worried every day like now.

Utatane Koharu also echoed: “Yes, Hiruzen, they finally came back this time, we can’t let them run away again, otherwise where will the rules of the village be?”

For such ninjas who seriously violated the village rules, it is reasonable to dissuade them. If they really don’t listen to the advice, they should be defined as traitors, arrested and taken back to Konoha Prison or even killed directly.

Otherwise, if such ninjas are allowed to make trouble, the village rules will lose credibility.

However, they are Jiraiya and Tsunade after all. As two disciples of the Third Hokage, they can’t be directly labeled as traitors.

Danzo beside them glanced at the two, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

These two fence-sitters only dared to bark at Hiruzen after Tsunade left.

When Tsunade was here before, her face was flushed and she didn’t dare to fart.

Humph, you guys should still hope that Hiruzen can stay in the position of Hokage for a while longer.

When my plan succeeds, the first ones to be swept into the trash can will be you guys who are just sitting there doing nothing and doing nothing.

“Huh, don’t worry.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, shook his pipe and smiled: “Tsunade and Jiraiya are both ninjas who inherited the will of fire, so they naturally know the importance of it.”

Mitomono Koharu and Utatane Koharu frowned, obviously more dissatisfied with his words.

He couldn’t bear to punish his own disciples, so he just excused Jiraiya and the others.

“Huruzen, you are too indulgent to them. They don’t have Konoha in their eyes. Don’t forget the current situation of Konoha!”

“If something unexpected happens, I will naturally take responsibility.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly blocked the two’s words.

Mizutomon En’s face flushed with anger, and he glanced at Danzo who was calm and composed.

“So, what are you going to do with the Gray Stone, Hiruzen?”

According to the information provided by Kakashi, the Gray Stone has the property of storing natural energy, and after processing, it can provide natural energy to the user.

Moreover, it seems to have a special effect of strengthening the body’s energy.

The Gray Stone is of great value for studying “Wood Release” and “Sage Mode”.

After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, “I plan to give the Gray Stone to Jiraiya who can use the Sage Mode.”

Hearing this, Mizutomon En and the others were stunned.

Give it to Jiraiya?

Jiraiya has already learned the Sage Mode, so why does he need the Gray Stone?

Isn’t that the same as giving it to Uchiha Sasuke?

Thinking of this, the two looked at Danzo with their peripheral vision.

But Danzo just frowned subconsciously.

In a blink of an eye, he completely relaxed and continued to sit there without saying a word.

“What’s wrong with Danzo these days?” Mitomon was secretly puzzled.

In the past, when I heard such good things, I wanted to fight with Hiruzen.

But now…

“Sage Mode” and “Wood Release” don’t matter anymore?

Could it be that he wants to retire and enjoy his old age?

Utatane Koharu also turned to look at Danzo: “Danzo, what do you think?”

What do you think?

What else can you think?

I use my eyes to see.

“Didn’t Hiruzen say that he would be responsible if something happened? He is the Hokage.”

Danzo stood up from his chair expressionlessly: “In addition, there are still things to do at the Root, so I will go back to the Root first.”

After that, he ignored the astonishment of the three people and walked directly out of the office.

Click!

As the door of the office was closed, the remaining three people looked at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

I didn’t expect Danzo to leave so simply.

“Hiruzen…”

After hesitating for a moment, Utane Koharu asked tentatively: “Did you do something too much?”

No matter how serious the quarrel was before, I have never seen Danzo like this.

“No…I guess.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mouth twitched.

“Well, since even Danzo doesn’t object, let’s arrange this matter like this.”

Mito Kado En sighed and asked again: “What do you think about the so-called invaders, Hiruzen?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked in silence.

The invader of the Hyuga clan, the target of “Takami-kun-mei”, has the powerful power to make meteorites fall.

In addition, the origin is unknown, the identity is unknown, and the purpose is unknown.

After sleeping, Koharu also spoke: “Although he also has Byakugan, the ninjutsu he uses is unheard of. It is fundamentally different from the Hyuga clan’s Taijutsu method of using Byakugan and soft fists.”

“The most important thing is, why does he have the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and where does the power to make the meteorite fall come from?”

Having said this, Mito Monoyan took a gentle breath, with a cautious look in his eyes.

“I understand what you mean. Do you think the Hyuga clan is harboring evil intentions and hiding important information from the village?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: “It’s impossible. The Hyuga clan has been rooted in Konoha for decades. It’s impossible not to see that they are deliberately hiding their clumsiness.”

Even if Hinata could hide it from the three of them, it was impossible to hide it from Tobirama-sensei.

“I propose that the Hyuga clan be censored.”

“I don’t agree with that.”

“Hiruzhan, this matter is very important!”

Mito Kadoyan said in a solemn tone: “I suspect that the Byakugan has abilities that we don’t know about. The intruder’s Byakugan may have undergone some kind of transformation, surpassing the limit of the ordinary Byakugan, just like…”

Speaking of this, Mito Kadoyan paused, and his tone became more serious again: “It’s like the difference between the Three Magatama Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan.”

As soon as these words came out, Sarutobi Hiruzen also showed hesitation on his face.

This is indeed not groundless.

The powerful power shown by that guy has surpassed their understanding of Hinata.

Since the Byakugan and the Sharingan are both the blood successors of the pupil type.

The Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan, and it seems reasonable that the Byakugan can also evolve and mutate.

“What are you still hesitating about?”

Koharu turned to bed and said seriously: “It would be fine if it was just that guy’s unique power, but if other Byakugan can also have this power…”

The function of the Byakugan on the battlefield is very important, but only in terms of function.

If a powerful alien is born in the Hyuga clan, it is likely to destroy the balance within the village.

Just like the Uchiha of old.

What’s more, the Hyuga clan may have some bad ideas because of this incident.

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and replied in a deep voice: “Let me think about it again.”

Naturally, he was also inclined towards the idea of ​​sleeping with Koharu and Mito Monobu.

But Konoha can’t stand the trouble now.

The possibility of the Byakugan evolving is just speculation without actual evidence.

If the Hyuga clan is investigated based on speculation, unnecessary conflicts will inevitably arise between the two parties.

“This opportunity cannot be missed, Hiruzen!”

“Don’t worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. If you let me think about it carefully, I will definitely come up with a solution later.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a hard sip and blew out the smoke: “In short, Hinata’s main purpose is to appease them, and they must not be forced. Hinata is different from the original Uchiha.”

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen like this, Koharu turned to bed and looked at each other with Mito Monobu, knowing that he couldn’t let him go for the time being.

“As for the training of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Hiruzen, you should also pay more attention. Konoha is in great need of outstanding ninjas with the will of fire.”

“I know, Naruto, you can rest assured.”

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen’s tone of voice so determined, the two of them shook their heads and walked out of the office.

After the two left, Sarutobi Hiruzen relaxed and slumped on the chair with a tired face.

According to his premonition, the next ninja war is probably coming soon.

Fortunately, Naruto has now grown into a qualified fighting force, enough to act as a deterrent to those ninja villages who are ready to take action.

As for Uchiha Sasuke…

Judging from his daily performance, he is also a good boy.

However, as long as Uchiha Itachi does not die, there is a risk that the truth of the genocide will be exposed. Sasuke is a bomb that can explode at any time.

But maybe it was because of guilt…or maybe there were other reasons, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t know why.

Konoha is currently short of combat power.

As long as it can be used at a critical moment, even if he knows that there is a great risk, he has no choice but to turn a blind eye to Jiraiya’s disciples.

“Oh, I hope Jiraiya can make him give up his hatred.”

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was distressed, Mito Kaden and the two also walked out of the Hokage Building.

“I always feel that Hiruzen’s attitude towards handling things recently seems to be more hesitant than before.”

“Yes, we can’t delay the affairs of the Hyuga clan.”

Mito Kadoen said in a troubled tone: “If there is really a possibility of Byakugan evolving, it is likely to follow the same path of Uchiha.”

The reason why the Hyuga clan is so valued and trusted by them is because the strategic significance of the Byakugan is far higher than the blessing of its own combat power.

But if Byakugan can also undergo a deeper transformation, it is inevitable that he will not become the second Uchiha of Konoha.

“Duanzo doesn’t know what’s going on. Since we can’t count on either of them, we can only rely on the two of us.”

Hearing this, Xiaochun was stunned for a moment before going to bed, and then his face showed surprise.

“Do you want to…”

“We are considering the future of the village. I believe Hiruzen will understand our good intentions.”

After saying that, Mito Kaden looked towards the direction of the Hyuga tribe.

………………

At the same time, Naruto, who was separated from Tsunade, was walking on the street holding an umbrella.

Although there was a layer of hazy drizzle, and although a battle had just taken place last night, it did not affect the lives of the villagers.

The villagers set up a small awning and shouted in the store.

When they saw Naruto walking in the rain with an umbrella, the villagers obviously became more enthusiastic.

“Oh! Little Naruto, haven’t you eaten yet? Come and have a meal!”

“No, Grandma Kawamizu, I can buy vegetables by myself.”

“Buy vegetables! Come here, come here, I’ll give you a 50% discount!”

“Ah, please let me buy it at the normal price.”

“Naruto, I heard about what happened last night. It’s all thanks to you, it’s amazing!”

Naruto paused and said solemnly: “I can’t say that, it’s all thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, and the desperate obstruction of the third generation grandfather.”

This also made everyone respect.

“Naruto-kun is too modest…”

“…”

As the Wood Release incident continued to ferment, Naruto’s reputation as the “hero’s son” was rising steadily among ordinary people.

On the way to buy food, whether it is merchants or ninjas, they would come over to chat, and even enthusiastically want to give him some food.

In the face of the villagers’ kindness, Naruto could still respond with a smile at first, but later he could only walk home quickly with his bag.

Looking at Naruto’s embarrassed back, begging for mercy and fleeing, the villagers just laughed kindly.

There was no exclusion and coldness when facing the “demon fox incarnation” at the beginning, only recognition and closeness to the “hero’s son”.

But in a place they can’t see.

“Coo coo coo~”

Naruto fed the grain in his hand to the pigeons, but the smile on his face became more sarcastic.

“Menma brother let me see it with my own eyes.”

“But I almost couldn’t help laughing out loud.”

Naruto could feel the villagers’ gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

But the more enthusiastic and kind they are now, the more sarcastic and ridiculous they seem in Naruto’s eyes.

He did struggle with the performance of Konoha and the villagers.

However, the ignorant and ugly appearance of just going with the flow also made Naruto feel even more disgusted with them.

It has only been less than two or three years, and no one has talked about the mistakes made in the past.

Just like the book “History of the Ninja World” and “History of Konoha”.

The truth has been completely changed, and good and evil are confused.

What is history?

History is the echo of the past to the future, and history is the reflection of the future on the past.

And those who do not respect history are destined to repeat the mistakes of history.

Menma once read him a history book from another world.

Although that world is not noble and will become extremely corrupt, countless people accept their mistakes calmly, record their ugliness in the book, and warn future generations not to make the same mistakes.

And the story of the Ninja World a thousand years ago has become a myth, and even the Senju Hashirama, who is less than a hundred years old, has become a legend.

The Ninja World War has been set off countless times, and people have fought each other driven by hatred, and the endless war has enveloped people.

Just like what they did to Naruto.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten and enjoyed his protection with peace of mind.

Such a twisted and bizarre idea actually worked like the truth.

Morality and trust, respect and etiquette, seemed to be things that did not exist at all.

This world was like a cage with ignorance, hatred and distortion as its core.

“It seems that you don’t like the flattery of those fools?”

A figure appeared silently in Naruto’s room.

“Why do you care? If it can make them feel at ease.”

And Naruto didn’t even turn his head, feeding the pigeons as usual, and then turned to look at Shimura Danzo who was expressionless behind him.

“Danzo, you are really a rare guest. I thought I would go to the root base to find you today.”

“I heard about your story. You are worthy of being the person I have high hopes for.” Danzo nodded indifferently, as if everything Naruto did was just in line with the rules. “I heard that you worshipped Tsunade as your master?”
