Chapter 12: The Dark Tide Surges
Konoha Village Youth Apartment, to say that it sounds like a youth apartment, if you don't live here are the mainstay of the village, it can be said that it is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this small apartment is actually a shabby layout of a living room and a bathroom, a living room also includes a kitchen, living room, the role of the bedroom, only a small bathroom with a bath can still warm people's hearts.
"It's good to be single, Mr. Kakashi."
Looking at this single room of dozens of square meters, little Naruto couldn't help but flinch a little.
"Take off your shoes and come in, I've brought over your daily necessities, go and tidy up yourself."
Kakashi glanced at little Naruto unhappily, he was a dignified Konoha technician, and now he actually wanted to be a full-time nanny, if he didn't strictly abide by the bottom line in front of Hokage-sama, he would have become Naruto-chan's "daddy" and nominal adoptive father.
The small abacus of the three generations of Hokage, he is a man who is clear, and he has been a ninja for many years, and he has not seen the struggle of the village's top leaders. Although he is an iron-clad Hokage, he really wants to take over the plate of "Naruto", and he can't keep the Danzo-sama tossed.
For example, Naruto was a little sheep roamed in the prairie called Konoha Meadow, although the head ape of the Konoha Meadow was the titular owner of the sheep.
But privately, there is also the head of the senior advisory group, and Naruto the little sheep Uzumaki also has his share of the right to speak.
Even if he doesn't usually speak, the three generations of Hokage can't openly kick him out and have the possession of the little sheep alone.
And Kakashi, a high-level worker, can only serve as a little sheep breeder for a period of time, which is the bottom line of Elder Tuanzang. In case the little sheep runs away with the wage earner in the end, it is the three generations of Hokage who are laughing, and he Shimura Danzo, it would be good if he didn't cry.
All in all, Naruto is a strategic weapon in Konoha Village, and the people he comes into contact with in peacetime may affect the future command of strategic weapons.
If the higher-ups let Naruto go east and Kakashi let Naruto go west, if Naruto chose the latter order, then Kakashi could threaten the safety of the village.
Everyone free-range Naruto is to let him grow up naturally, not affected by personal factors, and finally obey the command of the village as a ninja.
If Kakashi can effectively control and command Naruto, don't say anything, the fifth generation Hokage is you, with the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, who is against whom.
What? You say the opposition is not vegetarian? I'm sorry, if you go down, you may really die, unless the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha come back to life, otherwise whoever comes will kneel.
So don't look at it as a trivial matter, but the derivation of the incident is enough for the high-ranking elder to scold Sarutobi for slaying the bastard and cheating on Kakashi.
After a day of tossing back and forth, the night was hazy, and Kakashi turned into a family cook, and a few not-so-elaborate but very delicious home-cooked dishes were baked.
"Mr. Kakashi's cooking is so good, delicious food."
Naruto had a satisfied face, plump rice grains, always more appetizing and convincing than instant noodles.
"I'm ready to eat instant noodles, because Mr. Kakashi is also a single dog, but I didn't expect to have good cooking skills."
"Eat honestly, isn't it just dumped by the little girl, as for emphasizing the fact that I'm a single dog?!"
"Mr. Kakashi, don't get excited, if you kill me again, I'll cry to you... Well, saury is delicious... This is Mr. Kakashi's specialty..."
“......”
Kakashi made up his mind in his heart, he can't cure you bear child now, what will happen later...... Hehe, hapless kid has ever heard of blackbox operation? Wait for you to graduate from the ninja school, as a future ninja instructor, I promise not to kill you!
Patience is a human virtue, and with the lifting of the mask, Kakashi destroys his own supper.
"After eating, remember to put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink, then go brush your teeth, and I will make the bed for you."
Although Kakashi has been single for so many years, he is still quite good at housework, quickly taking the bed from the closet and making it, and then neatly turning on the faucet to wash the dishes.
"Mr. Kakashi is amazing, it's rare to see a man who can do housework these days, let alone an older single dog like you."
"Hurry up and go to bed, little one."
Lying under the warm bed, little Naruto had the feeling of "this is home" for the first time.
After a night of silence, Naruto, who had long been exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.
Late at night, the lights of the Hokage building have not yet been extinguished, and the dispute on the upper floors is still ongoing.
"Sarutobi, how can the human pillar force be left in Kakashi's care, do you know what the impact this will have?!"
"That's right, Kakashi is still too young after all, you want to train him to think we know, but you're also too hasty."
Mito Menyan, Koharu, Sarutobi Hibichi's teammates when he was young, plus the old friend who was bathed in the darkness of Konoha, the original six-person team, and now there are only four of them left.
Today, the companions are still together, but their wills are very different. He and Tuan Zang are two extremes, and these two old friends are the mediator between them, and they are often said by the people below to be the grass on the wall, and whoever is loud will fall to that side.
"Danzou told you..."
Such a straightforward question made the two of them a little surprised, at this time, Ape Fei did not choose to laugh and mud, and had to let them take it seriously.
"Leave it aside for now, we need to explain."
"Sarutobi, you are the Hokage, you have to take the overall situation of the village as a public."
The two advisors questioned one after another, their worries were not unreasonable, and when it came to the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, how could they turn a blind eye.
"Sharingan, Uchiha, Nine-Tails, Kakashi...... Don't forget that Naruto is a child of Watergate, and his growth cannot be interfered with by darkness......"
Just a few words in the first half of the sentence quieted down the two elders who still wanted to ask for an explanation.
Six years ago, the Nine-Tails disaster, Konoha lost the young four generations of Hokage, and the sudden loss of control of the Nine-Tails has been under investigation, and the Uchiha clan, who has a writing wheel eye and a criminal record, is still under suspicion.
In the process of rebuilding, the Uchiha clan was relocated to the corner of the village, surrounded by shadowy surveillance, which was the result of the unanimous decision of the five of them. When teammate Uchiha Kagami was alive, the Uchiha clan was still peaceful, but now......
The cursed clan is becoming more and more arrogant, although the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku is a rational faction, but this cannot suppress the Uchiha clan's ambition to seek the leadership of the village. In recent years, there have been no Uchiha people who want to make trouble, but Fugaku can see the form clearly and has been suppressing it.
But in the eyes of the upper echelons of the village, the Uchiha, a time bomb that began to be prevented by the second generation Hokage, has completely become a cancer in the village. Regardless of whether the events of six years ago have anything to do with the Uchiha, the existence of the Sharingan alone makes the village jealous, and they are afraid that the Nine-Tails will be manipulated by others again.
And Kakashi, a hardcore Hokage faction, still has a powerful shinobi with a chakra, and his identity as a disciple of the fourth generation of Hokage, and he is responsible for "protecting" the human pillar force, which no one can get out of.
Needless to say, the second half of Sarutobi's sentence is a reminder to the two advisors: Naruto is a child of the fourth generation, and sooner or later this matter will be clarified. Once this kid goes to extremes, what will the people in the village think of the higher-ups? Even if you control the human pillar force according to Tuanzang's method, this will be the next time bomb sooner or later.
"Ape Fei, are you prepared for the worst?"
Zhuan Koharu pondered for a moment, now is not the time to fight for the custody of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, the matter of the Uchiha clan is the current problem.
"Wait, the village can't sacrifice anyone..."
Although he said so, there was obviously a trace of hesitation in the eyes of the three generations of Hokage.
Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu glanced at each other, thinking about it. In contrast, the battle between Danzo and the three generations is more like a child grabbing candy to eat, and the disposal of the Uchiha clan can be a matter of life and death for the village.
Seeing that the two advisors were not pursuing it, the third Hokage secretly wiped his sweat: "This is a mess, right? ’
The night deepened, and after the two advisors walked out of the Hokage, a ninja dressed in the shadows knelt down on one knee in front of them. The two advisors whispered, and the ninja vanished.
"Sun Chop, this time it's your chess master... Uchiha..."
After getting the news, Tuan Zang's face was cloudy, and it was time to take a step back. Even if the meat is rotten, it's still in the pot, but Uchiha... Hehe, it's time for the plan to be put on the agenda.
