Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 50 Well, it was my incompetence that caused all this.

Naruto was a little scared.

He's still just a child!
Although children in the ninja world are precocious, the current situation... is a bit much.

Both advisors were staring at him with hostile eyes.

Even though he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's attitudes toward him remained unchanged.

This is not surprising, after all, his background is a secret to others, but not to the Konoha leadership.

The clan leaders of ninja clans such as Uchiha, Hyuga, Akimichi, and Nara were also aware of his background.

Therefore, before his background was revealed by the light screen, some people in the village already knew that he was the son of the fourth generation.

Seeing that he was not doing well, some people wanted to take care of him, but gave up for various reasons.

Not long ago, he gave himself a second name – Namikaze Menma.

As a result, a face also appeared on the light screen, although it was a vortex face.

The light screen said he had turned evil, transforming from Naruto into Menma. Furthermore, that Menma was very powerful, causing Konoha immense suffering.

What would the Third Hokage think?
Should we just kill him?

Or should we lock him up?

Thinking about it that way, he became afraid.

Now, everyone is watching how the third generation will handle it.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also uneasy. If Hiruzen didn't handle the current situation well, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now, the villagers are starting to fall apart, and it's not easy to lead the team anymore!

Under everyone's gaze, the Third Hokage sighed and gave a bitter smile: "Well! It is my incompetence that has caused all this."

Even if we kill Naruto, will the problem be solved?
Therefore, after weighing the options in his mind, the third generation publicly admitted his incompetence.

"Hiruzen, you..." Yan and Xiaochun both looked anxious.

"You don't need to say anything more." The Third Hokage waved his hand, stopping Yan and Xiaochun from continuing.

Indeed, Hiruzen Sarutobi's abilities were limited; he was no match for the Second Hokage, much less for the First Hokage.

But he always held fast to the Will of Fire, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for Konoha and for the 'young seedlings' in the village.

As for his many years in power, of course he had his own selfish motives; who in this world doesn't have some selfish motives?

But in his own view, his merits as the Third Hokage at least outweighed his demerits.

Perhaps he has some problems, but he's definitely not as bad as the screen portrays him to be.

As for Naruto, he will neither kill him nor hand him over to Danzo, nor will he imprison Naruto.

What has been will remain unchanged.

The Anbu will continue to monitor (cross out) and protect (√) Naruto.

As for the legacy left by the Minato couple, it was mostly used to build the village.

When the Daimyo allocates funds to Konoha next year, we can consider giving a portion of it to Naruto!
Of course, Naruto is still too young, so it wouldn't be good to give him a large sum of money all at once.

Most importantly, we need to educate Naruto properly and prevent him from going astray.

Now that Naruto's true identity has been revealed, the way Naruto is "protected" and "educated" needs to be changed.

Also, Naruto should use the name Menma less often in the future. It's not that he doesn't like it, but he doesn't want Naruto to feel burdened. This is all for Naruto's good. Yes, that's the situation.

"The light screen is maliciously belittling me, and it may also harbor deep malice towards Konoha. Everyone should make their own judgment and not be deceived by the light screen," the Third Hokage said solemnly to the people around him.

The fact that the Third Hokage was smeared is a small matter, yes, a small matter, how can it be... cough cough.

The Third Hokage didn't punish Naruto and let everything continue as before, which surprised and moved Naruto.

He felt the kindness of his three grandfathers and the Will of Fire.

Yes, everything on the light screen is a lie.

He didn't turn evil.

Although he has another name, Menma, his dream is still to become Hokage.

Rather than wanting to become Hokage, what he really wanted was the recognition of the entire village.

In his view, only the Hokage could gain the approval of everyone in the village.

It's not surprising that some people are smart enough to understand. Now that everyone's watching, it's wise for Sanji to show his goodwill towards Naruto.

If Naruto were killed directly, Kurama would also die. Although it would be resurrected after a few years, capturing Kurama and finding a suitable Jinchuriki would be troublesome.

The key point is that killing Naruto or imprisoning him would be inappropriate for the Third Hokage.

He was merely incompetent in the third generation; he was definitely not evil.

At that moment, the Third Hokage was thinking of Danzo.

It's necessary to make Azang take the blame for more things.

……

At the Root organization's base, Danzo remained expressionless.

On the screen, the Nine-Tails' rampage unfolds. The Third Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, is dead. She even says that Hiruzen can now live a shameless life with her. What will others think of Shimura Danzo? He is the Dark One of the Ninjas!

How can it be repaired?
When Danzo saw the power of the vortex-shaped mana on the light screen, his face was filled with disbelief.

Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak, Sage Mode, and a chaotic display of various Rasengan-type ninjutsu.

How far will that kid grow to in the future?

As for the light screen's denigration of Sun Slash, he almost burst out laughing.

It's good that Hiruzen's reputation is ruined; he can no longer be Hokage.

It's time to let Danzo become Hokage.

The incompetent Hiruzen could not lead Konoha back to the strength it had during the First Hokage's reign, or even to a greater extent. Only Danzo could lead Konoha to greater power.

The teacher probably regrets appointing Hiruzen as Hokage!
If their teacher had chosen Danzo back then, Konoha would never be what it is today; it would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful.

Hiruzen is incompetent and too weak.

Based on his understanding of Hiruzen, he knew that Hiruzen would definitely admit his incompetence.

Now everyone in the village will know that Hiruzen is incompetent.

Even outside the village, countless people would surely say that Hiruzen is an incompetent fool.

He wanted to see what face Hiruzen would have left to sit in the Hokage position.

He, Danzo, is determined to become the Fifth Hokage.

A 5.5th Hokage? That's impossible.

Next, Hiruzen will probably ask him to take the blame for something, but Hiruzen is likely to be disappointed. Danzo refuses to take the blame.

……

The Third Generation gave a wink to Mitokado Homura beside him.

After years of tacit understanding, Mitokado Homura immediately understood the meaning of the third generation.

This is to ask Danzo to come quickly.

There are many problems that Danzo needs to take the blame for.

The Third Hokage is currently unable to leave, but Mitokado Homura has quietly slipped away and is now going to find Danzo.

Xiaochun, who was transferred to another dormitory, helped cover for them.

It's not that no one saw it, but everyone turned a blind eye.

After all, F4 still holds considerable power.

Even if the Third Hokage were forced to step down under pressure, replacing him with a Hokage, even if not a puppet, wouldn't be much better.

The Naruto chat group was also very lively.

Group members were also watching the live stream on the screen.

Madara: Hasilama, is your brother blind? The Hokage of Konoha is getting worse with each generation.

Tobirama: The Evil Uchiha Madara~
Izuna: Tobirama Senju, shut up and show some respect to your brother.

Hashirama chuckled, his 'silly' tone easing the atmosphere in the group. Of course, Hashirama wasn't stupid; his intelligence was usually quite sharp.

Kushina: Is the third-generation old man really that bad?
Although I don't particularly like the third generation, it doesn't seem as bad as the hype makes it out to be!
