Naruto training king

"It turns out...it was 'Madara Uchiha' who killed your teammates."

"Oh, they are all very good children. I still remember their names."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly, with some regret and guilt in his tone.

It's a pity that "Uchiha Madara" killed two children and a jounin just for the reason of opening Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

Guilt was because he had just suspected that Uchiha Shisui left Uchiha Itachi a Mangekyō Sharingan with another god.

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well how Shisui died, so he always felt a little guilty towards Shisui.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something, suddenly raised his head and looked at Itachi, and asked:

"By the way, you just mentioned that 'Uchiha Madara' wears a mask. What kind of mask does he wear?"

"Yellow base, black pattern decoration, a mask that looks like tiger skin, with only one right eye exposed." Itachi replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his fingers slightly and subconsciously used some force to make a dent in the pipe in his hand.

The strange behavior of Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally attracted Uchiha Itachi's attention, and he asked: "What's wrong? Hokage-sama?"

Facing Itachi's inquiry, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while.

After a while, he slowly said: "I remembered a past incident."

"On the night of the Nine-Tails, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato told me before he died that the murderer who controlled the Nine-Tails was a man wearing a yellow tiger skin and a one-eyed mask."

"But the situation was urgent at the time, and apart from this piece of information, nothing else could be delivered in time."

"How could this happen!" Uchiha Itachi shouted in surprise, looking quite anxious.

in a hurry?

Can he not be anxious? !

The reason why the Uchiha clan and the Leaf Village are in such trouble today is because of the three Magatama Sharingan in Kyuubi's eyes that night.

Itachi said quickly: "Now that we have learned about the real murderer of the Nine-Tailed Night, it can be proven that it has nothing to do with the current Uchiha clan..."

"No!" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly yelled, interrupting Itachi's words.

Seemingly realizing that his tone just now was inappropriate, he looked at Itachi, softened his tone and explained:

"The news that Uchiha Madara is still alive must not be announced. It will cause great panic to the entire Konoha Village. You know, there is no second Hokage in the village today."

In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen had another level of consideration.

If it was known during the Night of the Nine-Tails that the real murderer had nothing to do with the current Uchiha clan, then the suspicion on the Uchiha clan could be lifted and the Uchiha clan's land could be moved back.

But six years have passed, and the Uchiha clan now has a long-standing hatred for Konoha Village.

If the news that Uchiha Madara is still alive is suddenly announced, it is difficult to imagine that the current Uchiha clan will take advantage of this opportunity to directly launch a coup.

After all, that was Uchiha Madara. Even after so long, there are still many people in the Uchiha clan who admire him.

It is possible to dispel Konoha Village's suspicion of the Uchiha clan, but these grievances must be eliminated first.

In the final analysis, even now Sarutobi Hiruzen still cannot trust Uchiha, but he just changed the reason.

But Uchiha Itachi hadn't seen the truth yet, but thought along what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, and nodded in agreement.

"The information about Uchiha Madara does need to be sealed, but since Lord Hokage already knows the truth, whether it is made public or not will not affect the cancellation of Uchiha's punishment."

As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the ideal that Shisui entrusted to him finally saw hope!

"As long as the root ninjas who monitor the Uchiha clan are removed and the Uchiha clan's clan is moved back, the conflict between the family and the village will be resolved."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

After a long time, he said again: "No way."

Itachi was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "Why is this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and said with some melancholy: "Although I am the Hokage, I don't have the final say in the village alone."

"Every villager and every ninja is part of the village. Even if you and I know that the real murderer is someone else, the other villagers except us don't know."

"In their eyes, the Night of the Kyuubi is still related to the current Uchiha clan. If I revoke the punishment on the Uchiha clan without any warning, what will they think?"

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head, glanced at Itachi, and smiled bitterly: "They will think, 'Uchiha can be forgiven for making such mistakes, so let me try too?'"

"This is a great test for the order of the village. If it is not done well, the foundation of the village will be shaken, and it will easily fall into civil strife."

It would be easier to deal with the cancellation of the root ninjas who monitor Uchiha, but if the Uchiha clan can be moved back, there would be a problem.

As one of the two founders of Konoha Village, and now one of the two wealthy families in Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan wants to take a large part of the village's profits.

But since they moved away from a remote area far away from the political center, these benefits have naturally been divided up by other ninjas in the village.

Of course, this is why Hiruzen Sarutobi gave this part of the benefits as compensation to those ninjas who suffered losses in order to silence the mouths of other ninjas after the Night of the Nine Tails.

If the Uchiha clan were moved back, it would be like taking something from the mouths of the ninja clan.

The food is being snatched from the tiger's mouth, and if one person fails to do so, he, the Third Hokage, will be in danger of losing his old age.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot do this without warning, unless the Uchiha clan has made a meritorious deed and has a reason to block other ninja clan.

Moreover, in addition to the ninja clan, the villagers are also an important reason.

Many people died in the Night of the Nine-Tails, and even today, many villagers still hate Uchiha and Naruto, who is the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.

On the Uchiha side, at least Sarutobi Hiruzen gave them some punishment, leaving them speechless.

But Naruto...

well.

Speaking of which, the exposure of Naruto's identity was really an accident.

You know, how could it be possible to convince everyone that Naruto was a demon fox based only on rumors?

At first, it was just some rumors, and the villagers only half believed it. However, for the safety of his children, he still warned him not to play with Naruto.

This allowed Naruto to experience the taste of cold violence since he was a child.

Later, when he was three years old.

One day, while Naruto was shopping, the seal in his body suddenly became loose for some unknown reason, causing the Kyuubi's chakra and aura to leak out.

Although he rushed over in time to deal with it, in front of everyone, the fact that Naruto was a demon fox was completely nailed. Even if he endorsed Naruto in the name of the Sandaime Hokage, it was useless.

The next day, Danzo Shimura used this as a reason to come to him to ask for custody of Naruto. Even though he rejected it, he still brought it up several times.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen also suspected Danzo, the Anbu could not find any evidence, so in the end they had to give up.

Uchiha Itachi, who was rejected twice in a row, was a little anxious now. He was so anxious that his three Magatama Sharingan flashed out.

"This won't work, that won't work either. Hokage-sama, what on earth are you going to do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, then picked up the cigarette and took a puff, and said seriously: "Itachi, I understand your mood."

"But I'm Hokage. I can't just do whatever I think of. I have to consider the opinions of the villagers."

Itachi took a deep breath, calmed down, turned off the Sharingan and continued: "Hokage-sama, don't forget your promise to Shisui."

"You said that you would definitely resolve the conflict between Uchiha and the village. And it is precisely because of our trust in you that Shisui and I have been fighting until today."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe, burning out the last bit of tobacco, and then exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"I always remember it."

He knocked the ashes and put the bong back on the bedside table.

Then he turned around and said to Itachi: "Give me some more time, let me think about it, and I will definitely find a suitable solution."

Again, his biggest fault as Hokage is that he doesn't know how to solve this matter.

"Tomorrow I will talk to Danzo and ask him to cancel the root ninjas placed outside the Uchiha clan."

"This is the only concession I can make now."

After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, indicating that the conversation would end here.

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand."

"But please remember, Hokage-sama, please don't think about it for too long. I will have a good chat with the clansmen after I go back to buy some time."

After saying that, Itachi turned around, opened the door and walked out, but he did not see Hinata Kiyomi in the living room, and finally found him at the entrance.

During this time, he kept his eyes open, but he saw no trace of Bai Jue from beginning to end.

"You are standing so far away. You are really afraid of hearing something you shouldn't hear."

Uchiha Itachi had a smile on his face, but Kiyomi could tell that this smile was very far-fetched.

Thinking again of the scene he just saw, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked around the room and smoked a cigarette.

You can guess with your feet that his hesitation problem has happened again, and this time it even made Uchiha Itachi anxious.

“Sometimes, the more you know, the more dangerous you are.”

After saying that, Hinata Kiyoshi closed his eyes and yawned: "Send me back quickly, I'm so sleepy."

"Well, thank you very much for tonight." With that said, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Qingmi.

"This is Water Escape·Water Formation Wall. Consider it the reward for tonight's mission."

Hearing this, Qingmi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out and kicked the scroll into his arms:

"If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have gotten sleepy."
