Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

Konoha gate.

Danzo Shimura returned triumphantly with the Konoha army after years of fighting. Villagers, including ninja families and ordinary people who came spontaneously, were already standing at the gate waiting.

Shinobu Yami, who usually had a gloomy face, also smiled.

Jiraiya, Kato Makoto and Namikaze Minato followed behind him, accepting cheers and praises amid the falling petals.

"Danzo, you did it and you worked hard!"

All three old friends from the Elders Council were there to greet them at the door. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, stood in front and shook his old friend's hand cordially.

"I am only doing this for Konoha and our ancestors' foundation. Go greet the young people. They need your encouragement more."

Danzo nodded in greeting without saying much.

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose hair had turned 70% white, Shinobu Yami suddenly felt that time passed really quickly and age spots appeared in the blink of an eye.

It's time to consider the issue of succession.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his childhood friend meaningfully and walked behind him.

After exchanging a few words with Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, the Third Hokage turned to the white-haired young man beside him.

He also didn't expect that the Anbu descendant whom he had personally trained would become Danzo's only disciple.

But it makes sense if you think about it. The Secret Vacuum Wind Style was deduced based on the theory of the Second Hokage's Water Style. When Kato Makoto was in the Anbu, he became a squad leader by relying on the Second Hokage's Water Style.

It is reasonable that he could then cultivate the True Vacuum Wind Escape.

It’s just a bit disgusting that the talent I cultivated was picked away by Danzo.

"Cheng, thank you for your hard work."

The Third Hokage's somewhat thin hand fell affectionately on his shoulder for the first time, and Kato Makoto bent his upper body slightly.

"It's all what I should do. Hokage-sama, just give me more bonus."

The Third Hokage laughed, "Your contribution cannot be measured by money."

When they met again, Sarutobi Hiruzen was as satisfied with Kato Makoto as ever. It was a pity that he would have to follow Danzo from now on.

"Cheng, you should pay more attention to your eyes. Don't use them if you can."

As the Hokage who succeeded Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, Sarutobi Hiruzen still has the research records of the Second Hokage, which includes the description of the Mangekyo.

The Second Hokage once described the process of Uchiha Madara becoming blind. He speculated that excessive use of the Mangekyō would pose a risk of blindness.

Kato Makoto became Danzo's disciple and was already a member of the Hokage lineage, and a true Kage-level master. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want such a talent to be scrapped so early.

"Don't worry, this eye will become my sharp knife and shield to protect Konoha. I won't use it lightly."

On the way back, Danzo gave a copy of the Mangekyo information in his hand to Kato Makoto.

Everything that the Third Hokage has, Danzo has, so Kato Makoto knows what the Hokage is worried about.

"That's good. Thank you for taking care of Kakashi's affairs."

Unlike Minato Namikaze who was somewhat resistant, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't mind Kakashi going around for a while.

With his position, he can definitely keep an eye on the people in Genli and prevent them from having any bad intentions.

What's more, his great-disciple is still so young. Only by experiencing more things can he become more stable and make calm decisions when facing major events.

The white-haired young man who was taller than him nodded in agreement when he met him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen left with satisfaction.

He took the trouble to greet every jonin, waved to the chunin and genin groups, and then stood on the podium and gave a passionate speech to the triumphant Konoha Ninja Army.

The inspiring will of fire was once again implemented.

Villagers waving flowers on both sides of the street, naughty students sitting on the roof listening to teachings, everything surrounded by flowers is so beautiful.

In the middle of the night, after the celebration party, the lights in the Hokage's office were lit.

The four elders of Konoha's highest power center sat together. Even Akimichi Touka, who had not been seen for a long time and was also a disciple of the Second Hokage, appeared here.

"Hiruzen, why did you call me here? If you have anything to discuss, just come and discuss it among yourselves."

Akimichi Tofu had a chubby body, and the loose fat on his cheeks trembled with his breathing.

The plump figure is the characteristic of the Akimichi clan.

But as he got older, maintaining this body shape put a lot of metabolic pressure on his organs, causing him to always have some problems.

This also made Qiu Daoqufeng's range of activities smaller and smaller, and he didn't have much time to go out.

"That's right. Avoiding disaster is like going into seclusion. What are you calling him for?"

Among the second generation's disciples, the one that Danzo despised the most was this fat guy.

Although Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En are mediocre people who rely on their seniority to hold power, they are indeed brave enough to take on responsibilities at critical moments.

It played a role in several major battles and ensured the logistics of the Konoha Ninja Army.

And what about the autumn road wind?

He said that as a junior, there was only a new generation of Pig, Deer and Butterfly, so he didn't need to worry too much.

It's because he's afraid that a conflict will break out among his fellow disciples and bring disaster to himself.

"Okay Danzo, stop talking."

Seeing the fat man's red face and thick neck, the only female among the five people, Koharu Tsuchiya, hurried out to smooth things over.

It looks like we have something important to discuss tonight. If we keep going on like this, how long will it take to finish the discussion?

Staying up late is very harmful to women's skin and body, and she was in a hurry to go back.

"Danzo, I also want to congratulate you on having a disciple that you admired."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand and looked at his old friend with a smile.

"Huh? You old ghost actually accepted a disciple?"

Qiu Daoqufeng's eyes widened, her plump body trembling, and her tone was full of shock.

Although he was unhappy with Danzo's style of doing things, he never doubted his love for Konoha.

A man who has given up even his family, does not marry, does not take concubines, does not take vacations, and does not show favoritism, not only is he feared by his enemies, but his own people are actually afraid and respectful of him as well.

Now, this person actually accepted a disciple. Has he changed his mind about living alone?

"Cheng is indeed good and can inherit my legacy."

Danzo glanced at Akimichi Tofu. Speaking of his disciple, he was in a good mood and did not argue too much with the fat old man.

Mito Kado En was sitting in his seat when he suddenly felt a gaze sweeping towards him from the direction of the Hokage's seat and remembered what the three of them had discussed before Danzo came back.

He swallowed his saliva first, then said to Danzo with gritted teeth:

"He first fought against the Raikage, then the Tsuchikage, and commanded the battle formations, and was always victorious. Konoha is truly lucky to have a young talent like Kato Makoto.

Danzo, look, since our disciples are so outstanding, why don't we make some space for them to display their talents."

Hearing what Mizuto Menen said, Shinobu Yami narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze cut into the other person like a knife.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Danzo was about to get angry, Utane Koharu hurried to comfort him.

"Danzo, don't get me wrong. Yan has not been in good health recently and has been thinking about handing over the burden to the younger generation, so he said this."

"Yes, yes, yes. I've been feeling short of breath lately and have been coughing a lot. Cough cough..."

Ignoring the two people's situational drama, Danzo turned his gaze to the Sandaime who was puffing out smoke.

These two people are just bricklayers who are trying to smooth things over. They dare to ask for decentralization in front of me. I'm afraid the person sitting in the main seat is the mastermind.

"Danzo, we are all old. Look at the age spots on my face and the white hair on my head. It's time to think about what will happen a hundred years later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and looked at his old friend sincerely.

The fourth generation is already in power in the Sand Village, and it seems to be doing a good job so far. At least he has brought the collapsed ninja village back together and prevented the Sand Village from falling apart.

The Hidden Cloud Village has also announced the fourth generation leader. As soon as he came to power, he took a tough approach to deal with the small countries around him that were making trouble. He also dealt with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and gained the understanding of the people, which was quite like his father.

The Third Hokage also wanted to pave the way for the Fourth Hokage, and first he had to take the highly prestigious Shinobi Yami with him to "retire".
