"Did you deliver Third Hokage, Jinchūriki to Uchiha Fugaku!"
Just when Third Hokage and the two Senior Advisor had just reached an agreement, and Third Hokage was about to continue bringing up his next idea, Hokage Office's door was pushed open.
Shimura Danzō, who was covered in cold wind, walked into Third Hokage's office. When he saw the two Senior Advisor and Third Hokage together, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. What did his three friends at the same time want?
"Uchiha Fugaku is trustworthy Konoha The patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, their family has a good relationship with Fourth Hokage's family, and Naruto can also feel the goodwill of the village from them. I thought about it carefully, and there is no one more suitable to take care of Naruto Uzumaki than him. Even if Nine-Tails breaks through the seal, Fugaku can still control it simply."
Third Hokage calmly looked at this old friend with a long history, he crossed his hands and expressed his judgment calmly.
"Uchiha Clan is plotting a rebellion. Are you not asking for death by handing Jinchūriki to them? As for Naruto Uzumaki, he is just Nine-Tails's Container. Why should we care about his feelings?"
Danzo refuted Third Hokage's judgment on the spot, but the two Senior Advisor who would have stood beside him after his refutation stopped talking at this time. They just looked at Third Hokage.
The old man who has been hiding behind the scenes since his return to Hokage Position once again took the lead in the highest-level meetings.
"I have sent Naruto to Uchiha Fugaku’s House at noon. Now it is time for dinner, and nothing happened. Fugaku has also proved his loyalty to us. Danzo, Uchiha Clan may have someone who wants to rebel, but this person will never be Fugaku."
Third Hokage pointed at the two Crystal Ball in front of him. Among them, the one monitoring Madara Uchiha had gone dark, and the remaining one showed Naruto and Sasuke laughing and playing in the brightly lit home of Fugaku.
Third Hokage looked at Naruto Uzumaki chasing Sasuke with a smile on his face, and at this time he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Naruto, who was supposed to be the son of a hero, was treated as Demon Fox by everyone in the village. I guess this child has been in hell since he was born.
After monitoring this child for so long, this is the first time that Third Hokage has seen such a cheerful smile on little Naruto's face instead of the forced smile that he usually comforts himself with.
"As for Naruto's feelings, Danzo, do you still remember that Naruto is Fourth Hokage's child? Previously, due to concerns that Uchiha Fugaku controlled Nine-Tailed Fox and caused rebellion, we have been concealing Naruto's identity and not letting Fugaku and the others contacted Naruto, but now, since Fugaku is trustworthy, why not let Naruto live a life of being loved? I have told Mikoto and Fugaku the identity of Naruto, and I believe they will understand what I mean."
Third Hokage gently stroked Crystal Ball, which was still lit in front of him, and he also finished rubbing Surveillance Technique on Naruto, which meant that he had completely handed over Naruto to Fugaku without leaving any behind.
"Even if Fugaku can be trusted, what about Hardliners of the Uchiha Clan? I will send Root's people to get Naruto back now..."
"Danzo!"
Seeing that Third Hokage closed the last Surveillance Technique and Naruto Uzumaki was in a completely invisible state, Shimura Danzō was also anxious. He was about to summon Root's subordinate Third Hokage shouted and made Danzo stop.
"The son of a hero should not be treated as a monster, just as you want to protect Sōsuke Aburame's reputation after death. Even if we cannot give Naruto a normal childhood because of Nine-Tailed Fox, at least we should not let him live in a bleak hell!"
Danzo looked at Third Hokage with sharp eyes. He had no doubt that if he continued to send Root's people to arrest Naruto, then Third Hokage would definitely have a head-on conflict with him.
Under the gaze of Third Hokage, Danzo compromised.
"I'll let you decide on this matter for the time being, but Uchiha Clan absolutely cannot be trusted, and I hope you will take care of yourself."
After saying this, Danzo left without looking back.
After Danzo left, Third Hokage shared his next plan with the two consultants. After listening to Third Hokage's ideas, the two Senior Advisor left without any objections.
Only Third Hokage was left puffing out smoke from the huge Hokage Office, but in the smoke, Third Hokage's already cloudy eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Do you feel that Third Hokage has become a little different?"
On the corridor, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura walked together. After Hokage Office came out, Utatane Koharu couldn't help but ask this question.
"Haha, it's not that it's different, it's that the original Third Hokage is back."
Mitokado Homura looked at the closed door Hokage Office and smiled slightly.
Since the death of Fourth Hokage, although Third Hokage has returned, his spirit seems to have been lost. Although Third Hokage in the past also prioritized peace, he was by no means cowardly.
Now Third Hokage is more like Old Man who is just trying to make ends meet. He no longer desires any changes or achievements. Perhaps the only thing he wants is to die peacefully in office.
Because of this, Danzo's hand stretched farther and farther, but today, Third Hokage changed.
Third Hokage took the risk to test Uchiha Clan. In the end, Uchiha Clan's Uchiha Fugaku and Madara Uchiha lived up to his expectations, proving the reliability of the Uchiha Clan.
Mitokado Homura wouldn't think that Third Hokage's test today was just a whim of his. Third Hokage must have been secretly communicating with Uchiha Fugaku long before the test.
Although Third Hokage is now old, Danzo is not young either. The reason why other major families were more inclined to take refuge in Danzo was just because Third Hokage didn't care about anything at all.
When the lion king who had been waiting for death was equipped with sharp claws and fangs like Uchiha Clan and once again had the ambition to rule the village, the jackals, tigers and leopards naturally had no choice but to make way for him.
"Is this the child of Kushina and Minato?"
In the home of Uchiha Fugaku, Fugaku, who had just brought his eldest son home, immediately communicated with his wife. When he learned that Naruto was indeed the son of Fourth Hokage, Fugaku also showed a distressed look towards Naruto.
"You have to be careful what you say. Third Hokage ordered that although we can know the child's parents, the people in the village don't know yet. For the sake of the child's safety, his identity cannot be revealed until the child has enough strength to protect himself."
