"Then you can treat me like a monkey, I'm not doing this anymore."
Danzo snorted coldly, looking like he was about to go on strike.
No sooner had he finished speaking than several Anbu suddenly appeared beside Danzo.
" Danzo, what do you want to do?"
The Anbu asked sternly.
"Nothing..."
Danzo cowered when he saw the Kumogakure's Anbu.
After all, if the matter were to be reported to Yeyue Ziyun, Danzo couldn't imagine what methods Yeyue Ziyun would use to deal with him.
Danzo wasn't afraid of death; what he feared was a fate worse than death.
After all, Danzo had witnessed the Fourth Raikage's methods Danzo. In this situation, it was best to behave and prepare to defeat the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
A month passed quickly, and Konoha was packed with people that day, with many daimyo and nobles coming to witness this revenge battle.
After all, one side is Naruto Minato Namikaze, the son of the Fourth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki, and also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
On the other side was the Konoha High Command F4, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Their very status was enough to attract a lot of attention.
Not to mention, there are many other stories worth telling between them.
In particular, the actions taken by the Konoha High Command to win over Naruto are now known throughout the Shinobi World.
" Naruto Uzumaki, do your best! You must defeat the Third Hokage and his allies!"
"That's right, I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you back then. I never imagined you were actually the Fourth Hokage's son. Waaah, I regret it so much."
"We must teach the Third Hokage a lesson he deserves! Who told him to fool all the Konoha back then!"
"That's right, Naruto, do your best!"
Along the way, many villagers felt sorry for Naruto, especially after learning that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage.
Incidentally, everyone also harbored resentment towards the Third Hokage for concealing this matter in the first place.
After all, Naruto was the son of a hero, yet he spent his childhood being despised and ostracized.
It's fair to say that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his ilk had long been infamous among the common Konoha.
"It's alright, everyone. Ultimately, this is all because the Konoha High Command concealed my identity. It's not your fault."
Naruto generously forgave the villagers who had previously clashed with him.
Ultimately, they were nothing more than pawns deceived by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Naruto understood this very well.
The only ones he wants to take revenge on are the Konoha F4.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the treatment was completely opposite to that of Naruto.
"That damned Third Hokage! He's been lying to us for so long!"
"That's right, sentencing you to life imprisonment is too lenient."
"And Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, look what you guys have done to Konoha!"
"If you have any conscience, you'd better die at Naruto's hands."
As the Konoha F4 walked down the streets of Konoha, they were met with spittle and insults from the Konoha.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes tightly.
I never imagined I'd fallen to such a state, that even the Konoha would despise me?
Seeing one's reputation plummet and being scorned by the villagers was a feeling even worse than killing Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, what he cares about most is reputation and power, and perhaps reputation is even more important.
"I already regret it. Staying in jail is more comfortable than being in Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he shouldn't have agreed to the Fourth Raikage; otherwise, he would still be in prison, unaware of how much the Konoha hated him.
In stark contrast to Hiruzen Sarutobi was Danzo.
After all, his reputation wasn't exactly good to begin with.
Soon, the Konoha F4 arrived at the Konoha Tournament Stadium under the escort of the Anbu. This stadium is usually used for the Chunin Exams.
However, today it's being used as the venue for the revenge match.
After all, this is meant to generate revenue. This venue can seat at least tens of thousands of people, which would be a huge income. Ziyun wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
As for why the Konoha F4 were escorted by the Anbu, it was because Ziyun was afraid that if they weren't escorted, the Konoha F4 would be killed by Konoha.
There are quite a few people in Konoha who support the Konoha F4. Most of these people miss the Konoha F4 because their interests were divided after Tsunade was elected the Fifth Hokage.
But most of them were people who hated the Konoha F4.
After all, the Konoha F4 have killed countless geniuses over the years. Among them are Hatake Sakumo and Senju Nawaki on the surface, but how many more have been killed in secret?
There seem to be quite a few of them. These people hate the Konoha High Command leadership to the core. If they weren't protected by the Anbu, the Konoha F4 might have been assassinated on the way.
After the Konoha F4 arrived at the venue, they sensed a great deal of killing intent.
Among them were Uchiha Fugaku, Kakashi Hatake, and others who openly harbored murderous intent.
This murderous intent sent chills down the spines of even the Konoha F4.
"Don't worry, they won't lay a hand on you. Without my orders, no one dares to kill you."
Ziyun looked at the Konoha F4 and smiled.
Killing them now is too early; at least the F4 should keep today's benefactor happy.
These renowned daimyo and nobles were all honored guests of Kumogakure.
The Konoha F4 were ashen-faced; they had been completely made fools of.
"To the senior members of Konoha High Command, I will oversee the battle diligently, and I will ensure that nothing unfair happens."
At that moment, Minato Namikaze walked over, with his usual sunny smile.
"If any injustice occurs, I will step in to stop it immediately."
Then Minato Namikaze changed the subject, his tone becoming increasingly warning.
Looking at Minato, the Konoha F4 had complicated emotions and none of them dared to meet his Minato.
The genius who originally belonged to Konoha is now his adversary.
"Please go and prepare, seniors. The great battle is about to begin," Minato said with a smile. Then, the Konoha F4 headed to the rest room.
"How shameless! If Minato, as the supervisor, were to do anything excessive to Naruto, he would definitely be stopped."
"This is practically asking us to get beaten up in broad daylight."
Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were very unhappy in the rest room.
After all, Minato is Naruto's biological father. Could he possibly stand by and watch his son be beaten by his enemy right before his eyes?
Given Minato's personality, it's impossible. He even betrayed Konoha for Naruto's sake. If he really seriously injured Naruto, his own fate would definitely be terrible.
"That despicable Fourth Raikage, how shameless!"
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also cursed.
Yeyue Ziyun's move was entirely designed to embarrass himself, to make himself look like a clown in the eyes of the various Shinobi World lords, and to allow Naruto to beat him up.
Danzo's fists were practically clenched to pieces, and so were Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, and the others.
But we've already come this far, so even if it's tough, we have to keep going.
Soon the Konoha F4 set off, Naruto was already there waiting for them.
Naruto's eyes were filled with extreme hatred, and coupled with his current strength Peak Kage Level expert, even the Konoha F4 felt a chill run down their spines.
Naruto then unleashed Sage Mode, surprising the Konoha F4.
" Sage Mode! Naruto has actually learned Sage Mode." Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank.
He knew about Sage Mode; it was extremely powerful, and once mastered, it would greatly enhance Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and various overall abilities.
Mastering Sage Mode already makes one an absolute Kage Level powerhouse, or even Peak Kage Level powerhouse.
" The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has actually grown to this level."
Danzo was also taken aback. Learning Sage Mode was very difficult; otherwise, Danzo would have learned it long ago.
But Naruto learned it at the age of 12, which made Danzo feel uncomfortable.
"As expected of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he probably already possesses the strength of Kage Level shikigami."
The other two elders also said in deep voices, "To have Kage Level strength at the age of 12 is terrifying. This has already surpassed Kakashi's record for the fastest advancement."
"What should we do? We might not even be a match for him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi became concerned. Even if his opponent was a 12-year-old kid, he couldn't be underestimated in Sage Mode.
Not to mention that Hiruzen Sarutobi is already in his seventies or eighties, and his physical condition has greatly declined. He might even get beaten up by Naruto in front of everyone without holding back.
"There are no rules in this revenge battle. You can come at me all at once, or one by one. It's entirely up to you."
At this moment, the supervising officer, Minato Namikaze, gave a prompt.
"Attack us all at once? Isn't that just making us look bad?"
" Konoha High Command have to resort to ganging up on a 12-year-old child? Where will we put our faces if word gets out?"
Homura Mitokado looked unwell.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned even uglier, because what Homura Mitokado said was true, but what was even more terrifying was that no one could be Naruto's match in a one-on-one fight.
It's safe to say that whichever scenario you choose, it will be extremely ugly; at the very least, your reputation in the Shinobi World will definitely be ruined.
Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi is filled with regret. If he had known that Naruto had mastered Sage Mode at the age of 12, he would never have agreed to Yeyue Ziyun's request.
