Konoha Hokage Building.
Standing inside the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building, you can see directly at the entrance of Konoha in the distance.
At this very moment, two people are standing here.
One was the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other was Danzo.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression at this moment no longer had its usual amiable quality; instead, it was solemn.
"As you said, it really has spiraled out of control."
Looking at the Konoha Ninja welcoming the hero's return at the village entrance, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh softly, his eyes flickering as he pondered.
Danzo sneered and said, "I told you long ago that you should leave it to me to handle, but it's too late now. Not only is his power difficult to control, but his popularity is probably also making it difficult for you, the Hokage, to deal with him easily."
Hiruzen Sarutobi silent.
Indeed, given Uya's current popularity in the village, he has practically become a hero of Konoha. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi would find it difficult to find a reasonable excuse to deal with Uya, and attacking Uya without a reason would cause instability in the village.
Yes, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are no longer considering war, but rather how to control Uya.
Uya is now on Konoha's side, which gives them a huge advantage on the battlefield, almost like having an extra Tailed Beast compared to other ninja villages.
But what if Uya doesn't follow their instructions?
Uya's current strength is completely out of control. If Uya is unwilling to obey orders, they really have no way to force Uya to do anything!
After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, "Let's continue to observe the situation. He still feels a sense of belonging to Konoha, and besides, Tsunade Kushina are people he cares about."
" Sarutobi! You're still naive!"
Danzo couldn't help but shout, a cold glint in his eyes. In his view, it was absolutely intolerable for a ninja to possess power Kage Level or even surpassing that of Kage Level.
If the Hokage can't control the village, is he still the Hokage?!
" Uya's existence is already..."
"Even if I want to do something now, is it guaranteed to succeed?! If I do it and fail, it will inevitably provoke fierce resistance from Uya, backfiring completely!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at Danzo and interrupted him in Danzo voice.
"Furthermore, judging from Uya's current record, even if he disobeys orders, as long as he remains in Konoha, he will be a huge deterrent to other ninja villages, just like Tailed Beast!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words made Danzo's expression turn gloomy and uncertain, and for a moment it was unclear what he was thinking.
" Sarutobi, no matter what, you must remember that you are the Hokage, the Hokage of Konoha."
After a long silence, Danzo, his expression icy cold, said something to Hiruzen Sarutobi voice, then turned and left, a chilling glint in his eyes.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head as he watched Danzo's retreating figure, then looked down at the window with a somewhat complicated expression.
Things really did take an unexpected turn.
If Uya were born in Konoha and were a member of Konoha, then the stronger Uya is, the better. He could even become the Fourth Hokage Uya.
However, Uya was not born in Konoha.
Although Uya grew up in Konoha, this very issue makes it impossible for him to become Konoha Hokage of Uya!
Hiruzen Sarutobi had always relied on Uya, but he never expected Uya's growth rate to be like a leap in steps, just like the Uchiha Clan awakening the Sharingan, with each evolution increasing their strength by a certain amount.
Suddenly, he grew to a point where he could no longer control him.
Of course, for Hiruzen Sarutobi, Uya is not completely out of control yet, even though he killed the Third Kazekage Uya suppressed the One-Tail.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength was hardly clearly shown in the original work; he only used the Reaper Death Seal kill Orochimaru's hands.
However, after being Impure World Reincarnation, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually showed some true strength. He was able to fight against the Wood Release Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique used by White Zetsu, who controlled Yamato, for a short time!
The Wood Human Technique is undoubtedly a power at the Kage Level!
When Hiruzen Sarutobi Impure World Reincarnation unlimited Chakra, he could fight back against that attack. Although the five Chakra Nature Transformation did not merge into any Kekkei Genkai, the Ninjutsu he unleashed was still incredibly powerful.
At his peak, Hiruzen Sarutobi, while not possessing infinite Chakra, still had an extremely high level of Chakra reserves, and his strength was indeed unfathomable.
Even if he is still at the Peak Kage Level, he is still the strongest among those at the Peak Kage Level, and may even be half a step into the Super Kage.
The reason Danzo was always outmatched by Hiruzen Sarutobi was not only because Hiruzen Sarutobi was more ruthless in his methods, but also because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength.
On the streets of Konoha.
Uya and Kushina were walking aimlessly.
Uya temporarily put aside matters such as the third Kusanagi Sword and the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique. His purpose in returning to Konoha was simply to rest a bit and see if he could obtain the Scroll of Seals from Konoha.
Previously, Uya could easily access the Book Scroll of Seals Scroll of Seals, but Uya, he's likely been viewed with suspicion by Konoha High Command, making it less certain that he'll be able to see it.
In addition, when returning from the Land of Wind and passing through the Land of Rain, Uya also kept track of information about Konan and the others.
Nagato still hasn't appeared, Konan and Yahiko have started to be active in the Land of Rain, and they seem to be doing well. As for the Akatsuki, Yahiko hasn't even started to establish it yet.
Uya put all these things out of his mind; for now, all he had to do was spend time with Kushina.
Uya didn't know how much she would change the original story, but after experiencing many things, Uya felt a kind of mysterious control over the world.
Uya even felt that even without Kushina and with Minato Namikaze dead, Naruto would still reappear; he just had this inexplicable feeling.
However, none of this Uya.
Uya could not possibly place the hopes of defeating Madara Uchiha and Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki on Naruto Sasuke.
Don't think about relying on others; you can only rely on yourself. But you can also be someone else's support. These are Uya's thoughts on self-reliance.
" Uya, try this."
Kushina happily bought two snacks from a roadside stall and handed one to Uya.
Uya cleared his mind of all his chaotic thoughts, smiled at Kushina, and then reached out to take it.
Speaking of which, Uya is now approaching thirteen years old.
Kushina's appearance has gradually changed from that little girl to a graceful young woman, and every smile and frown is captivating.
If it weren't for the sense of crisis brought about by the presence of Madara Uchiha and others in front of Uya, Uya would really want to put everything aside for a while and spend some quality time with her.
But in order to protect her, Uya must strive to become stronger, much stronger. (To be continued.)
