"That's all that happened, Hokage-sama."
Itachi and Shisui were kneeling on one knee in front of Hirzuen, finishing their report.
Hiruzen took a deep breath and released a puff of smoke, the corner of his mouth tilting upward.
'It seems all of my efforts have not been in vain at all. Naruto has finally started to inherit the Will of Fire. It is really a piece of great news. With the more bonds he will form, the more it will be easy to influence him in the future. But... Uchiha family, I have to handle it carefully, or else, things can take a negative turn.'
"Good job. Keep up the good work. And make sure that no one from the Uchiha family will make a move on Naruto." Hiruzen's face turned solemn and he said.
"Yes, Hokage-sama." The both of them bowed their heads and retreated.
Click!
Just as the two of them left the Hokage office, the door opened and three old and familiar people stepped in.
In the lead was Danzo Shimura, followed by Homura and Koharu.
"Did you guys hear that? Now, there should be no more worry in your heart." Hiruzen replied with a proud expression.
Danzo snorted coldly and said. "What's the point anyway? Your tactic is bound to fail sooner or later. These so-called bonds of yours are all superstitious. Only with my Roots training method can we have a powerful Jinchuriki that will be the spear and shield of Konoha Village. Once my training is finished, the kid does not need any bonds and he will be absolutely loyal to the village."
Hiruzen stared at his old comrade and sighed, shaking his head.
"I have told you many times Danzo. Your methods are cruel. It is not beneficial for the Jinchuriki's development. It might cause the nine tails to be released from the child's body."
Homura adjusted his glasses and said solemnly. "Danzo, listen to Hiruzen. He is right. There is too much risk with your method. We can still control the Jinchuriki with the Will of Fire like we are doing with so many."
Koharu also followed quickly. "Hiruzen is the Hokage, Danzo. He will not do anything without a backup. And as the two of them reported, Naruto is growing well. He even inherited the Will of Fire. And don't forget, the villagers are quite fond of him. With them and Kushina's presence, things might get worse if we let you take care of the Jinchuriki."
Danzo glanced at the two of them and groaned annoyedly. "Hmph! Do you think I don't know that you want your son to form a bond with Naruto so that in the future when that kid inherits your position, the Jinchuriki will guard the door for your son."
"Danzo, watch your mouth!" Hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen's face fell and he said coldly.
Danzo also snorted and muttered. "You will definitely regret it, Hiruzen. Konoho will be destroyed in your hands."
Bang!
Hiruzen slapped the table and his momentum increased as he spoke in a threatening tone.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
"Hmph!" Danzo turned around and walked away, slamming the door behind him.
"Hiruzen, don't take Danzo's words to heart. You know how he is..." Homura smiled lightly and tried to calm down Hiruzen.
Hizrun waved his hand and released a puff of smoke. "I know. Koharu, you go and make preparations. You have to leave for the meeting with the Daimyo early in the morning."
Koharu nodded her head. "I know. I had already made all the preparations. But I am still worried about the Uchiha clan."
Homura also nodded his head and asked. "Yeah, Hirzuen. What are your plans? We think we should use the other clans to suppress the Uchiha Clan and then take care of them in one fell swoop."
Hiruzen shook his head. "It's not that simple. And Uchiha clan is also a part of the village. I have asked Itachi and Shisui to keep an eye on their movements. If they really dare to do anything wrong then I will take action."
"Since you have your plan in place, then I am relieved. I will go ahead since I have to leave early tomorrow."
Koharu and Homura also retreated from the Hokage's office.
Just as they left Hiruzen took out a crystal ball and used it to spy on Women's hot spring.
None of them had noticed that a shadow was wiggling and retreated slowly.
Naruto who was sitting on a bench in the park with his eyes closed opened them. A ferocious red glint sparkled in his blue eyes and a cruel smile found its way on his handsome face.
'Now, the real game will begin. You guys enjoy playing with others, right? I will make you pay now for it. And I will begin with you old hag.'
Naruto grinned and stretched his muscles before he decided to return home.
Sob Sob Sob
But before he could leave the park, he heard someone's sobbing voice which surprised him a little.
He looked around and finally saw someone sitting on the swing in the park.
Naruto was quite amazed that he had failed to notice the presence of the person and that person had also failed to notice him.
'It seems we both are very lost in our things.'
Naruto shook his head and walked toward the person.
"Umm... I never take you as a person to worry about someone else, Naruto." Kurama's voice echoed in his head.
Naruto laughed and replied. "It's not like that Kurama. I just think I will not lose anything and I can also pass some time on the way."
"You really a weird kid. But are you sure you want to start with this plan of yours? Your targets are the highest-level officials of the village." Kurama spoke worriedly.
Naruto smiled and could not help but tease him. "Hehe... I never thought you would be so much worried for me."
"Uh... who is worried for you? Don't make me laugh! Just go and kill those bastards!" Kurama barked, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Naruto could not help but smile at his reaction. When he arrived close to the person, he was shocked to find that he was actually familiar with the person.
'Sakura! Sakura Haruno!... What is she doing here?'
Naruto was dumbfounded to see the future nest medical ninja crying out here in the park. He rubbed his head and sighed, as he had no knowledge about this event. He sat down in front of her and asked.
"Hey, why are you crying out here?"
