Naruto Uzumaki moved house

After Hiruzen Sarutobi was sidelined, Shazo became extremely bold.

He even moved Naruto Uzumaki's house.

The room in the civilian building where Naruto originally lived was used to deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi's surprise inspection.

Now, Naruto Uzumaki lives next door to the Shazo Uchiha Izumi family, and has become the new favorite of Aunt Miko and Uncle Heishiro.

Since Uchiha Izumi became the Uchiha Clan Head, she has been busy with all sorts of work and no longer tries to please her parents by acting cute.

This left the Miko couple feeling lost and lonely.

Naruto Uzumaki, on the other hand, is an energetic boy who longs for family affection.

Naruto moves into Uchiha Izumi's house and receives patient care from Miko Heishiro, while the two elderly people find comfort in the lively Naruto Uzumaki.

Miko's greatest joy now is feeding Naruto with her husband, raising him to be plump and healthy.

With ample nutritional support, 10-year-old Naruto Uzumaki was 15 centimeters taller and more robust than he was at age 12 in the story.

The improvement in living conditions allowed Naruto Uzumaki's Talent to be fully utilized. Even with the "mask," Naruto was no longer the Dead Last of the Ninja Academy, but an outstanding student who fiercely competed with Uchiha Sasuke the top spot.

The Third Hokage didn't even notice Naruto Uzumaki's obvious change, which shows the extent to which he was being sidelined.

What Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't see, the Ninja Clans of Konoha certainly did.

Last year, even Shikaku Nara couldn't help but advise Shazo to launch a coup ahead of schedule and become the Fifth Hokage.

But Shazo did not agree.

He wanted to use legal procedures to Hiruzen Sarutobi and make the Third Hokage "the most unsuccessful Hokage of all time."

To completely ruin Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation, the support of the vast majority of Konoha Ninja would be required. However, the Civilian Ninja, who make up the majority of Konoha Ninja, still habitually support Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Changing the stance of Civilian Ninja requires a crisis that is brought to everyone's face.

Thinking of this, Shazo couldn't help but smile and said, "The crisis of these 15 days has turned into heavy pressure, not only weighing on Konoha, but also on the hearts of every Konoha Ninja."

"Under such immense pressure, the complacent and subservient attitude of Civilian Ninja can no longer be maintained. They will see their true feelings and change their stance."

"I can now assert that over 90% of the Ninja in Konoha want the Third Hokage to step down, and 70% of the Jonin Konoha support us."

"Now I'm not just able to Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'm absolutely confident I can drive him out of power."

Uchiha Izumi looked at Shazo with admiration. "Brother, you always say that crisis is an opportunity, and I never believed it before, but now I do."

"The crisis created by the Fourth Raikage has indeed become the best opportunity for Konoha to change."

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Shazo laughed triumphantly.

Historically, the Ninja of Konoha endured until Konoha Year 60 later, when they joined forces with Orochimaru to send away the Third Hokage. In doing so, they also caused the death of Sunagakure, greatly weakening the Sunagakure Ninja, who could only obediently continue to be Konoha's subordinate.

This time, because Shazo was in Konoha, no one contacted Orochimaru, and he had no chance to design a the Superstar ending for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Once Hiruzen Sarutobi disgraced, Shazo will thoroughly settle accounts with the Third Hokage for his mistakes and suppress the excessively expanding power of the Sarutobi Clan, thus clearing the way for him to take control of Konoha.

Shazo didn't want to become Hokage like the Seventh; he wanted to be Hokage with real power.

In the afternoon, Naruto Uzumaki went home after school.

Shazo, Uchiha Izumi, Naruto, Miko, Heishiro shared a warm and lively dinner together.

Shazo the meal, Xia Zuo said to Uchiha Izumi, "I'll go to Shisui's house later and tell him the specific action plan. You go and inform everyone: we'll move out tomorrow."

Upon hearing Shazo's words, Uchiha Izumi was overjoyed.

She jumped up, raised her hands, and cheered, "Great! Long live brother!"

I'm telling everyone right now!

Shazo stood up, grabbed the girl, and added, "Also, tell everyone not to worry about the Cloud Ninja army."

"Once the Third Hokage retires, Shisui and I will deal with the invading Ninja Army from Cloud Ninja."

Shazo and Izumi did not avoid talking to Naruto Uzumaki, because at this moment he took off his "mask" and was no longer the stupid Naruto who was affected by Asura Chakra. Therefore, he had no opinion on the upcoming coup.

Naruto's only concern was. "Big Brother Shazo, after the Third Hokage steps down, will you become Hokage?"

Shazo replied, "I will strive to become the Fifth Hokage, but there is another Ninja in the village who can compete with me for the Hokage Position."

Naruto asked curiously, "Who are the other Ninja who can compete with Big Brother Shazo?"

Shazo said, "Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the most beautiful of the Konoha Sannin, and the strongest Medical Ninja Tsunade."

Naruto Uzumaki scoffed dismissively, "Tch, so it's that irresponsible gambling old woman. How could she possibly compete with Big Brother Shazo?"

Naruto raised his hands and declared, "Big Brother Shazo is destined to become the Fifth Hokage!"

Shazo: ".

Naruto, do you realize that what you said is ambiguous?

The next day, the Third Hokage called a meeting with his classmates early in the morning.

The Fourth Raikage refused to meet with the Hokage's messenger for the 15th time, Isshin to have a face-to-face meeting with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But it's impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to personally meet the Fourth Raikage!

This is utterly unreasonable. Aside from his Hiruzen Sarutobi to the Land of Fire Capital to meet the Daimyo, Hiruzen Sarutobi hasn't left Konoha for 30 years.

The Fourth Raikage is just a junior; how could he make such an outrageous request?

Not only would Hiruzen Sarutobi absolutely disagree, but Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura would also disagree.

Tobirama Senju was Sneak Attack while on a mission to the Land of Lightning. It was the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The psychological trauma caused by this incident haunted the six of them for the rest of their lives.

Hiruzen Sarutobi became extremely conservative, never going to the front lines again, nor leaving the Land of Fire. Even when he left Konoha, he only went to the Land of Fire Capital.

Shimura Danzō became incredibly radical and reckless, with unwavering self-confidence and a belief in the power of darkness and conspiracy.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura have become like guard dogs, losing all their self-confidence.

Torifu Akimichi's self-blame and guilt even made him unable to continue being Ninja, and he chose to retire after returning to the village.

Of the Second Hokage's Hokage Guard Platoon members, apart from Kagami Uchiha who died young, the other five were never able to escape the shadow of abandoning the Second Hokage throughout their lives.

The label of "loser dog" followed them for life.

Having learned from the Second Hokage's example, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi possibly meet the Fourth Raikage in person?

But since he couldn't see the Fourth Raikage, and the Fourth Raikage couldn't see his messenger, the problem couldn't be solved.
