Hokage Residence, in Conference Hall.
Since the Uchiha Clan Downfall incident passed, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others finally appeased the emotions of the Great Clan and commoner. Uchiha Itachi is THE only problem in the village.
Now there is finally time to gather together to discuss the follow-up matters of this incident.
Mitokado Homura reported: “The area I am in charge of is no problem. However, the villagers have believed that Itachi is the perpetrator who killed the whole clan.”
Utatane Koharu: “I have no problem here. Hiruzen, there is no problem with other clans, right?”
“Relax. Other clans will have no opinion on this matter.” Sarutobi Hiruzen spitted out a cigarette with a sad expression as if remembering something. He turned his head towards Danzo, “Yes, Uchiha Clan’s Inheritance, and what about the corpses? After all, they also made a lot of contributions to Konoha. Even if they are not, we must bury them.”
Danzo glanced at him: “Inheritance has been deposited in the Ninjutsu room. As for the corpse… just leave it to me. I will handle this matter.”
Danzo did not allow Sarutobi Hiruzen to continue speaking. Instead, he changed the topic directly to Naruto. After all, after the last probe, Naruto hated him. If he were not busy dealing with the problem of ‘corpse’, he would have wanted to raise the hidden troubles about Naruto with the other three elders.
“Now Uchiha’s hidden trouble has finally been resolved for the village. Hiruzen, should the demon fox be handed over to Root next? The demon fox’s behavior during this time is really unusual. He recently learned Rasengan and Shadow Clone Jutsu. We temporarily regarded it as a Ninjutsu that Minato left to him. Can it be that convenient? How can he cook then? Who taught him? As far as I know, neither Minato nor Kushina is as skilled as Naruto in cooking now! And a while ago, he also specifically inquired about Land-of-Whirlpools and Hatake Sakumo. This is no longer a coincidence. It can be explained clearly!”
What Danzo said; in fact, not only a few people in the Conference Hall know. Even the villagers in the village have already done many wonders.
After all, Naruto went to the grocery market to buy vegetables, asked people about Hatake Sakumo, and asked Land-of-Whirlpools, but did not hide it from everyone. However, the villagers did not think too much compared to the several old foxes in the Conference Hall.
They treated Naruto’s inquiries as being a kid’s curiosity.
After listening to Danzo’s explanation, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, there was no objection from them this time. They all simultaneously looked towards him, to this old close friend who has not performed well recently, waiting for him to give a wise reply.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the three people with dissatisfaction: “The village’s strength is reduced significantly. There is also an ‘Akatsuki’ watching us like a tiger watching their prey. Can’t you stop this for now? But, moreover, no matter how strange Naruto did, as long as he was not hostile to the village, and as long as he has the heart of guarding the bondage and the heart of the village, won’t it not matter?”
“Hiruzen! Are you getting older and more confused? It’s only at this time that you become soft-hearted? It is because the village’s strength is now seriously damaged, so we should kill all dangerous signs! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, who is responsible?! Can the village still afford it?!”Shimura Danzo retorted.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu remained silent.
Silence also means that they default Danzo’s statement.
But he was so stubborn that he didn’t want to be in this situation anymore. So Sarutobi Hiruzen is destined to disappoint the three people again.
He waved his hand: “Okay, okay. Naruto’s matter… it’s decided. I will send someone to look after him. You don’t have to intervene.”
The three people glance at each other silently. Next, they did not continue to discuss Naruto’s topic.
………
End of the meeting.
Shortly after Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu stepped out of Hokage Residence, they were intercepted by Root’s ninja: “Danzo-sama. Please.”
The two looked at each other. They did not refuse.
……..
After a while, they came to a secret room.
Danzo was the only one in the secret room.
The two did not intend to stay for a long time and went straight in.
“Danzo, is there anything you couldn’t say just now?”
Shimura Danzo: “Everyone has known each other for so many years. I won’t be oblivious to you. What do you think about the demon fox?”

Mitokado Homura: “If you have any thoughts, just talk about it. We don’t mind talking to you.”
Danzo sneered.
Some disdain these two disagreeable friends.
“I’ll tell you frankly. After the Uchiha Clan Downfall, I met the demon fox once that day. I’m pretty sure he hates me!” Seeing two who seem not to be concerned, Danzo continued: “Oh, this period of time, I never once took action against that demon fox. You both know it best! But even if I didn’t take action against him, he could still hate me? That…… You will not be naive thinking that he only hates me because of my appearance, will you? Although I don’t know why the demon fox suddenly inquired about Land-of-Whirlpools and things about Hatake Sakumo, but I can be sure that the reason why he hates me at this time is definitely related to these things! Do you really think you can get rid of these things? Or do you think that if one day, when the demon fox really attacks me, no one will know what we have done?”
The faces of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu can’t help but look a little complicated.
How could they not understand what Danzo said?
They kept silent and did not refute Danzo’s proposal. Just to wait for Danzo to take action to solve this problem.
Now that Danzo has spoken so clearly, there is nothing to hide.
Mitokado Homura: “What are your plans?”
Utatane Koharu: “Obviously, Hiruzen is determined this time to protect the demon fox. If you openly disobey Hiruzen’s instructions, then I’m sorry. The two of us can’t accompany you to fool around. After all, Hiruzen is also a shadow in the village. If someone knows of our internal discord, it will not be good for you, me, or the village. ”
“You can rest assured. You don’t need to disobey his orders. Didn’t Hiruzen often say that the demon fox is not hostile to the village? Well! I will let Hiruzen feel the hostility of the demon fox! And you just need to stand by my side at the critical moment!”
Shimura Danzo solemnly vowed.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu glanced at each other.
involuntarily unison: “What are you going to do?”
Danzo said with a sneer: “Heh, ‘bond’ has always been a very good tool, isn’t it?”
After hearing this sentence, the two turned around and left the secret room, not saying anything further.
The same is the tacit understanding of old friends. If you don’t refuse, refute, or stop, that means you agree!
It’s just that they don’t want to say this kind of unjust thing from their mouths…
