Newspaper

As a modern person, Danzo is very clear about the importance of speech and news to a world.

Controlling the transmission of news and speech, as long as there is a certain amount of time, and making everyone in the Shinobi World begin to value the importance of newspapers, Danzo can become a good person in everyone's eyes.

"Lock them up in the same room."

Danzo signaled Shisui to take the two of them down, and said to Darui, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. When your Raikage pays enough price, I will send you two back."

Darui stared at Danzo, his eyes full of humiliation and anger, but he was helpless.

A few days passed.

A newspaper called Konoha Morning News was circulated throughout the Land of Fire.

Everyone knew that under the leadership of Shimura Danzo, Konoha had achieved excellent results in this war with the Cloud Ninja, not only defeating the Cloud Ninja's team, but also capturing important figures from the Cloud Village.

"Shikamaru, what are you looking at?"

Early in the morning, Naruto came to the Ninja School yawning.

A few days ago, with the help of Hokage Grandpa, Naruto successfully entered the Ninja School and was assigned to the same class as his three good friends.

"Here."

Shikamaru pushed the newspaper to Naruto's side: "Your Uncle Dan won a great victory and should be returning to the village soon."

Shikamaru initially felt a little awkward about this title, but over time, he got used to calling him that along with Naruto.

"!"

Naruto's eyes widened, and as soon as he heard the news about Uncle Dan, he quickly picked up the newspaper from the table.

What came into view first were the four big red characters "Great Victory at the Front," followed by a description of how Danzo defeated the Cloud Ninja, and a brief introduction to the person Shimura Danzo.

"So Uncle Dan is from the same era as Sarutobi Grandpa!"

Naruto stared at the introduction about Danzo on it.

Because of Danzo's young face, he had always thought that Danzo was his father's friend, but he didn't expect the relationship to be even more complicated.

"You just found out? Idiot!" Ino mocked him from the side. The only person who could make the little adult-like Naruto show such an expression was the Uncle Dan in his mouth.

"But he clearly looks very young..."

Naruto scratched his head awkwardly.

"Danzo and Hokage are from the same era. It seems that thanks to the Second Hokage's blessing, he recovered his youth overnight. This matter has already spread in the village, and you don't even know it." Inuzuka Kiba also sat over and interjected.

Unknowingly, a group of children from various clans had gathered around Naruto.

Inuzuka, Aburame, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka...

They did not reject Naruto's identity like others, but instead, in Naruto's warm smile, they unconsciously approached him.

"Hey! Because I haven't been recognized by everyone yet, no one tells me this kind of news." Naruto said carelessly, but what he said was heartbreaking.

When Uncle Dan comes back, I'll ask him what to call him. I can't call Sarutobi Grandpa, but also call him uncle, right?

Naruto thought to himself.

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, Mitokado Homura slammed the table and shouted with full vigor, "Sarutobi, I went to the front lines to replace that guy's position as you requested, but that old thing not only injured me with a punch but also embarrassed me in public. How am I supposed to be an advisor after this?"

Torifu Koharu frowned and echoed, "That's too much, isn't it?"

Even before Mitokado Homura returned, Anbu had already recorded the entire process in detail and sent it back, so they had known about it for a while.

Honestly, undermining morale for the sake of power, Homura was somewhat in the wrong.

But Danzo couldn't just attack him directly!

They've been friends for so many years.

"If he doesn't write that apology letter, I'm quitting as an advisor!" Mitokado Homura said angrily to Sarutobi.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned; his attention wasn't on Mitokado Homura getting beaten up at all.

"So, his strength has really recovered?" Sarutobi asked, staring intently at Mitokado Homura, his eyes full of gravity, and a vast aura pressed down on Mitokado Homura.

He had personally tested Danzo's strength back then, and it was definitely not fake.

Mitokado Homura still wanted to bring up his embarrassing incident, hoping Sarutobi would urge Danzo to write an apology letter so he could have a way out.

But as soon as he opened his mouth to say it, he met Sarutobi's bloodshot eyes.

Swallowing his saliva, Mitokado Homura temporarily suppressed the words that were about to come out and said, "Re-recovered."

"Whether it's speed or strength, it's almost the same as when he was young, and he's even faster in terms of speed. His strength has definitely returned to its peak."

Bang.

Sarutobi couldn't control his anger and slammed his hand on the table.

As expected.

He knew that old thing wouldn't give up so easily.

It was laughable that he even sympathized with that guy.

"Mobilize the clan members, I will personally go to the battlefield and replace Danzo," Sarutobi said to the air beside him, and a black figure wearing an Anbu mask appeared abruptly.

No one doubted his identity; this Anbu was undoubtedly a member of the Sarutobi Clan.

"Hokage, this is a newspaper that suddenly appeared in the village today." The Anbu Ninja who appeared abruptly did not leave immediately but handed over a newspaper.

Sarutobi took the newspaper with suspicion, and with just one glance, his blood vessels almost burst.

"Danzo!"

Gritting his teeth and grinding out these two words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood at this moment was like a volcano about to erupt, and as soon as he saw the source, it would explode directly.

How much he trusted Danzo back then, how much he pitied him, Sarutobi now felt that much more ashamed and annoyed.

He was led in by a few words, and he even felt that Danzo's understanding of the Will of Fire was more profound than his own, and he was ashamed of how much private gain he had sought in this position.

"Investigate the source of this newspaper and seal up all the news agencies related to it," Sarutobi Hiruzen's cold voice sounded.

"It can't be hidden anymore; this newspaper is not only sold in Konoha but throughout the entire Land of Fire," the Anbu Ninja said. "We can't trace the news agency that published this newspaper."

Danzo was determined to shake his foundation and usurp his position.

Being so old, why can't he just be an advisor like Koharu and Homura?

Sarutobi already had killing intent in his heart. Although Danzo was an old friend who had worked with him for many years, he was now really planning to compete with him for the position head-on.

Sarutobi could figure out with his toes who the owner behind this newspaper was and who was helping them hide.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't imagine how high Danzo's reputation would be in Konoha and in the Land of Fire if this newspaper spread.
