"This guy, Naruto... is still alive and cannot touch the body..."
"Then — if I slap him twice now, does it count as a defeat?"
『In this case, is there a chance of copying the entry?』
On the banks of the Nanhe River, the eyes of a two-and-a-half-year-old boy flashed.
He seems to have found a system bug!
Twelve young people in the wood industry seem to be born one after another this year?
Then if he comes to the door one by one and pats their butts and pinches their faces...
Hiss!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Ember grinned.
One hand on his forehead, bent over.
"Hahahahaha! I am indeed a genius!"
System: ...
Click!
At this moment, the Four Red Sun formations above were suddenly opened.
The wild laughter stopped abruptly.
When he turned around, he happened to see a pipe, which was bright and uncertain in the moonlight.
The Third Hokage!
"Huh? And survivors? Is it a child?"
When he saw that there were still people in the barrier, Sarutobi Hiruzen cut off his conscious body and tightened his posture.
He even clenched the stick tightly in his hand.
Those who can survive the Nine-Tails Rebellion must be extraordinary.
"Child?"
"This fan suit... Are you from the Uchiha clan?"
But when he saw clearly what this child looked like and how he was dressed, doubts flashed in his deep eyes.
Wasn't the Uchiha clan wiped out?
Where did this two- or three-year-old child come from?
Behind him, the Hokage escort team followed immediately.
When they saw that it was Uchiha Jin, Hōsen spat out the kunai in his mouth and said in disbelief:
"Oi? Has the son of the Fourth Hokage grown up so big?"
Other Genma team members: ...
The Anbu ninja who followed: ...
Sarutobi Hiruzen: ...
Uchiha Ember: ...
I almost thought I had become Nezha!
He complained in his heart, but there was a look of innocence and ignorance on his face.
Holding the token timidly, he said in a childlike voice:
"Old... Grandpa! I... My name is Jin, and I am an uncle wearing an oil-colored mask... There is candy here."
He deliberately repeated the oil-colored mask.
At the same time, the token in his hand just right revealed the rune above.
This intentional move attracted everyone's attention.
Of course, after speaking, his big watery eyes stared closely at the Third Hokage.
As long as Hiruzen does anything bad, he was ready to open his golden body and run away under the cover of a weak sense of existence.
As for the God of Thunder?
He hasn't started practicing yet, and there really is no chakra in his body...
Of course, he also believed that Hiruzen would not do anything to him.
Although this old man sometimes has a darker heart.
But!
For the children in the village, he has always shown a loving side.
Whoever.
Even behind their backs, he appears amiable.
By the way, I'm talking about the inheritance of fire!
Oil-colored mask?
And this token...
On the right, after hearing these words, the three who knew Hōsen immediately guessed the meaning, turned around, and left.
When it comes to the game between the big families in the village, they can't stay any longer.
Just do what they have to do safely.
Whoosh.
Suddenly.
Behind the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, an Anbu ninja appeared in a flash.
The scroll in his hand lit a red light and said in a deep voice: "Token number B-74, belonging to the third investigation team at the root."
The furrows in Sarutobi's brow deepened, almost able to clamp two flies to death.
This is really the class number of the root.
And that person's body is outside.
Obviously, the little Uchiha Ember didn't lie.
How can a two-and-a-half-year-old child who has not yet practiced cultivation be able to appear here alone?
"So, do you want to blame the Uchiha clan?"
"But... to blame a Uchiha child? How about the group hiding your brain?"
Cold light flashed in Sarutobi's eyes.
No matter how low you are, all that's left in your eyes is affability.
"It's okay, it's okay, you have to go home soon."
He patted the small shoulder of the child.
In the palm of his hand, wisps of perceiving chakra penetrated.
He turned around.
Empty inside.
Although the muscles and bones in the body are dense, there is no trace of chakra.
It's normal; Uchiha clan children seem to only refine chakra when they are four or five years old, right?
After confirming that there was no chakra in this body, he completely relaxed his eyebrows and said with relief:
"Good boy, where the leaves fly, the fire will continue to grow!"
"Where the leaves fly, the fire will continue to grow!" Jin raised his fist and made a cheering gesture.
Then he turned around and ran away.
"What an upright child!"
Looking at his back, a trace of emotion appeared in the eyes of the Third Hokage.
But when he thought that Danzo would not even let this child go, his heart sank.
He took the pipe from his mouth and hit it "bang bang" on the stump next to him.
"Danzo, your hand is stretched too long!"
. . . .
Sneeze!
At the same time, in the Hokage Building.
Danzo, who was giving a passionate speech, suddenly sneezed.
"Danzo, are you okay?"
Opposite him, Koharu turned to look at her old friend with concern.
"It's all right! I am so terrible now!"
Danzo knocked on his cane.
"Four generations of Hokage died in battle. What do you think is the most urgent priority?"
"Yes... Stabilize the village?" Koharu asked subconsciously.
"That's right, it's about stabilizing the village! Now that the Fourth Hokage has died in battle, the village is leaderless, so I feel it is necessary to select the Fifth Hokage first to take charge of the overall situation!
"At present, the only people in the village who are capable of running for Hokage are the heads of major families, but they are not as good as our group!"
"I love this village deeply!"
"It's the roots of a tree buried deep in the soil, holding up the village."
Danzo said what was in his heart in one breath!
He survived three generations and the death of the Fourth Hokage, which made the Uchiha and Senju stand on opposite sides!
Now it's finally his time!
Thinking of this, a bright wind burst out from his whole body.
Momentum, nothing!
Even the two consultants couldn't help but nod in admiration.
This old friend is indeed majestic.
So after hesitating, Koharu nodded and said: "It is true that you are more suitable for the Fifth Hokage, but—"
But?
Hearing his old friend's hesitation, Danzo smiled slightly: "But I will hand over the financial power of the village to the two of them for distribution."
"But no one is more suitable than you!"
The two looked at each other and agreed decisively.
Bang!
But at this moment, the closed Hokage office door was suddenly pushed open directly!
Skipping.
Upon seeing the visitor's iconic pipe, the three immediately fell silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly walked in.
The vicissitudes of his eyes seemed to see nothing.
Step by step, he walked behind Hokage's desk.
He pulled open the chair and sat down.
You!
Danzo looked at him with itchy teeth.
This position will be his soon!
But the Third Hokage didn't pay attention; he just put his hands on Hokage's desk.
Looking at the people in the room, he said in a deep voice:
"Naruto's authority is temporarily replaced by an old man. Who supports it and who opposes it?"
"Yes!"
"I approve of it too! The village is in chaos, Sarutobi; you coming out of the mountain really solves the urgent need!"
Koharu and Mito Menyan looked at each other and nodded directly.
Without any hesitation.
And Danzo next to him slowly raised a question mark.
Not buddy?
