Chapter 49 049. Graduation early?

Inside the Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage opened the report sent by Kakashi.

The report shows that Naruto has mastered the ability to sense chakra and has shown comparable strength to a chunin in combat. Ninja school courses are also available for self-taught students up to sixth grade.

For these reasons, Naruto proposed the idea of ​​graduating early and becoming a ninja.

The Third Hokage tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Kakashi standing aside, and asked: "Kakashi, as a ninja who also graduated early, do you think it is better for Naruto to stay in the ninja school, or to graduate and become a genin? "

"Based on my experience, of course it would be more suitable for Naruto to stay in a ninja school and train for a few more years."

"However, Naruto has the idea of ​​graduating early, probably not because he really wants to become a ninja, but because he wants to know his life experience and who his parents are."

After speaking, Kakashi looked at the Third Hokage and told the truth.

The Third Hokage stopped tapping on the table and considered the gains and losses in his mind.

From a rational point of view, we cannot reveal our life experience to Naruto. Naruto is still young. If he accidentally lets it slip, it will only be detrimental to Naruto's growth...

But I did promise him that I would tell him the truth when he becomes a ninja...

But Naruto knows that he is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage, but he has been treated unfairly by the villagers. I am afraid he will hate the village because of this and blame me for sitting back and watching.

For a moment, the Third Hokage was also a little embarrassed, wondering whether he should tell Naruto his life experience.

If he told her, he would be worried about being jealous of Naruto. If he allowed Naruto to graduate and become a ninja early, he might be out of his control and would suffer even greater backlash in the future.

After thinking for a moment, the Third Hokage said to Kakashi:

"I can't tell Naruto the truth yet, but I can allow him to graduate early. As Naruto will become a ninja sooner or later, it's better to adapt to the life of a ninja and make new friends as soon as possible."

"Kakashi, are you willing to quit the ANBU and become Naruto's leading Jonin?"

Becoming Naruto's leading jounin... Kakashi was stunned. He was just a messenger. Why did he become Naruto's leading jounin inexplicably? He had never been a leading jounin.

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi said: "It's okay, but according to the rules, I have to bring three genin, but this year's ninja school graduates have been allocated. I can't bring Naruto and one genin. This is too special. ."

The Third Hokage thought for a while and said: "This is indeed a problem. I will temporarily reject Naruto's application and let him graduate next year. I will be in trouble for you then. You will have to spend more time with Naruto this year."

At this time, Kakashi seemed to remember something and said: "Sandaime-sama, Naruto's perception has been able to detect the traces of ANBU. Is it time to change the previous protection method?"

"It's up to you. Remember not to let Naruto get close to the Uchiha clan."

After hearing this, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could not let Naruto know his life experience, he still bought time for independent activities for Naruto, which could be regarded as doing something for the teacher.

I also have one more person I can care about, even if it's just a troublesome brat.

After Kakashi left, the Third Hokage continued to handle the work. Recently, he had received more and more complaints, most of which were about the security force.

Complaints against the security force were actually a good thing for him, proving that Uchiha was unpopular.

But in addition to complaints, he received feedback from the ANBU that the security team was purchasing more and more supplies, and a large number of detonating charms, kunai, and shurikens were transported to the Uchiha clan.

It was far more than needed to maintain law and order, enough to fight a small-scale ninja war.

Even if a coup was really launched, so many supplies would not be needed.

The Third Hokage was a little helpless, but he also knew that this was Uchiha's way of expressing his dissatisfaction, in order for Uchiha to strive for more benefits, but what Uchiha wanted was not a single department or jounin seat, but his position as Hokage.

Uchiha cannot have Hokage, this is his idea, and it is also the consensus of several other old friends.

Uchiha's extreme personality will also cause the village to become isolated internationally, and will also cause Teacher Tobirama to downplay the family's probability and strengthen the village's policy failure.

Uchiha couldn't make any decent achievements, and he couldn't convince the public when he became Hokage.

The most important thing is that with the number of Uchiha jounin, after becoming Hokage, I am afraid that they will occupy quite a few departments in the village, forming an intricate root system, turning the village into an Uchiha village.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and the appearance of Uchiha Itachi interrupted the thoughts of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage looked at Itachi, the only Uchiha who could communicate after Shisui died, and asked slowly: "It's Itachi. Is there any new news from the security team?"

"Father is actively contacting other ninja clans, hoping to form an alliance with other ninja clans."

Form an alliance with other ninjas? In other words, there are no further plans for the time being.

The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that the big and small families in the village would not form an alliance with Uchiha. Whether it was the risk of taking sides or Uchiha's arrogant character, it would be difficult to form alliances with other families.

He was even more worried that Uchiha would make a desperate move and directly attack the Hokage Building, which would cause too much damage to the village.

As a five-kage, he is naturally not afraid of Uchiha's siege, but his ANBU and civilian staff are different and can easily be killed by Uchiha jounin alone.

And it is impossible to manage the entire village by relying solely on personal force.

Even though he is as strong as the first generation, he still delegates the management of the Ninja Village to Tobirama-sensei.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage stood up from his seat and patted Itachi on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. There is the family on one side and the village on the other. It must be hard for you to be caught in the middle."

Itachi shook his head and said: "It's not hard, my father's current actions and thoughts will only harm the family and the village, and benefit other ninja villages. They have not thought about these consequences at all, and their vision will always be limited to one clan. "

The Third Hokage showed a tired smile and said with some emotion:

"It's better that you take care of the overall situation. If you were thirty-five years old now, I would hand over the position of Hokage to you. If it were you, you would definitely be able to handle the conflict between the village and Uchiha."

"Hokage-sama is joking, I'm far behind you."

Itachi did not accept the praise from the Third Hokage. After briefly reporting the news, he left the Hokage Building.

After taking a deep look at Itachi's leaving figure, the Third Hokage missed Shisui a little. Shisui didn't have much scheming and was an extremely devout believer in the Will of Fire.

But Uchiha Itachi gave him a feeling of being difficult to control when facing Danzo.

But except for Uchiha Itachi, he couldn't find any Uchiha who could communicate.

Why did Shisui die? Was it really just suicide?
