Chapter 45: Report to the Hokage
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he had guessed Naruto's plan, which was to make the information public during this village meeting and use public opinion to overwhelm him, the Third Hokage.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong, this was not Naruto's plan from the beginning.
Information can be forged. Without solid evidence or Sarutobi Hiruzen's own admission, most villagers in Konoha Village will not believe it.
Even if some people have doubts, they will definitely spend a lot of time to verify afterwards;
This amount of time was enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo to erase all evidence.
Naruto knew that toppling Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was not something that could be accomplished by simply holding a village meeting and producing some documents.
His goal from the beginning to the end was not to expose Sarutobi Hiruzen's evil deeds in front of the villagers, but to...
He took this opportunity to sow discord between Sarutobi Hiruzen and the major families of Konoha.
Can a Hokage who is alienated from the major families of Konoha still be considered a Hokage?
This is not difficult to do.
Because although Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that Naruto would transform into a villager and sneak into the venue;
However, he never thought that he who sneaked into the venue would be so bold as to disguise himself as a special identity - an Anbu!
Logically speaking, Konoha's Anbu is a very tight organization, and even if Naruto changes his appearance and blends in, he will be detected in a very short time.
Coincidentally, in order to ensure that everything would go smoothly, the two old guys, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, actually asked the Root to join in the operation.
Since most of the masks of the Anbu are in animal form;
The masks at the root are all kinds of strange and varied, and the colors on the masks are much darker than those of the dark masks.
Naruto could easily tell the difference between the two, so Naruto's showmanship began:
When encountering an ANBU ninja, the mask on his face changes into that of a Root;
When he meets a Root ninja, the mask on his face turns into an Anbu...
Relying on this unique skill, Naruto blended in well with both teams, and even obtained important intelligence -
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo already knew they were deceived.
They simultaneously ordered the Anbu and Root to find the person who dared to deceive them.
According to the recollections of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, the man's appearance is unknown, but his known characteristics are that he can transform into anyone's appearance and he loves to slap people in the face...
Naruto almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard these two guys describe him like that.
Now that he has successfully infiltrated the Anbu team, how can he create conflicts between Sarutobi Hiruzen and the major families... Easy!
Because the Anbu and the Root had already received the order:
Secretly capture anyone who is suspected of having any negative emotions towards the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
How do we define “negative emotions”?
Naruto said:
“The Inuzuka family, the Hokage-sama is speaking up there, why are you shaking your head?
It's obvious that he is dissatisfied with the Hokage, take him away!"
"This ninja from your Nara clan actually dared to close his eyes when the Hokage was giving a speech. This is clearly a disrespect for the Hokage. Take him away!"
"Qimichi's family, we're having a meeting and eating, take it away!"
"Mountain Clan, the child is crying too loudly and disrupting the order of the venue, take him away!"
"Aburame clan, playing with bugs during a meeting, take them away!"
……
Naruto mixed into the team and fanned the flames, causing the Anbu and Root ninjas to capture almost all the members of each family, even the Hyuga clan was not spared.
Half an hour later, the room used to temporarily detain these secretly captured people was already packed to the brim;
Except for the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan, members of almost all Konoha families can be found among them.
Inside the venue, the patriarchs of each family also discovered that something was wrong.
They gathered in twos and threes, discussing in low voices the unusual things happening in the venue.
"Two of my clansmen were just taken away by the Anbu ninjas in the name of assisting in the investigation. They haven't come back yet... How about you?"
"Three people from our family were taken away."
"Only one person was taken away from me, but he was my own nephew."
"And our Aburame..."
After some communication, they found that each family had lost a few people, and a worried expression appeared on their faces.
"This has never happened before in village meetings. This incident seems a little unusual no matter how you look at it..."
"In my opinion, this villager meeting might just be a cover to bring us together..."
"You mean, the one who spoke above is going to take action against our family?"
"Hush~ Be careful with what you say... It's just speculation now, don't forget what happened to the Senju and Uchiha..."
"Let's see how it develops next..."
……
"Your Root's efficiency is truly terrifying... Jia San, you brought people here again~"
The ANBU ninja standing guard outside the door greeted him warmly.
"Well, open the door."
The Root Ninja that Naruto transformed into nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing the door open, Naruto walked in with a ninja transformed by his shadow clone.
Naruto walked into the house and roughly counted the number of people in the room. When he felt that it was about enough, he smiled with satisfaction.
He then turned his head and put his mouth close to the shadow clone's ear. To outsiders, it seemed as if he was saying something to the ninja that the shadow clone transformed into.
Then the people in the room saw that the ninja was first shocked, then he became furious and broke free from Naruto's grip and roared loudly.
"You despicable ANBU, you actually want to use my life as a threat to make me slander our clan leader and accuse him of rebellion?!
Bah! Shameless! "
Everyone in the room: (ー_ー)!!
They were just wondering why the Anbu ninja had captured them, but when they heard this...
Would they also want to slander the head of their own family and say that they wanted to rebel? !
Instantly, most of the people in the room began to be indignant, with anger written all over their faces;
Only a few people could remain calm. They wanted to clarify things first to avoid any misunderstanding.
Unexpectedly, the next moment...
"Humph! Since you don't want to cooperate, then go to hell!"
Naruto snorted coldly, his face suddenly becoming so gloomy as if water was about to drip down.
"Fire Style*Great Fireball Technique!"
"Ah~"
Naruto suddenly spit out a huge fireball.
The ninja transformed from his shadow clone was instantly burned to ashes without any resistance.
[Fuck! That hurts! ]
Naruto's body trembled suddenly, and the skin hidden under the mask twitched involuntarily.
The pain felt when the shadow clone dissipated was really exciting.
“And you guys…are also unwilling to cooperate, right?
Then die like him!
Fire Style*Great Fireball Technique!"
Naruto puffed up his cheeks and spit out another fireball at everyone in the room.
Now even the calmest people can no longer sit still.
"Let's fight them! Rush out and let the chieftain take charge for us!"
The next second, they unleashed all kinds of ninjutsu, striking down on Naruto.
Naruto immediately rushed out of the door, shouting continuously.
"Oh no! Those people we secretly arrested under the orders of the Hokage have rebelled!
Go and report to the Hokage!"
