Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Before the Uchiha clan could even torture the villagers who were brought back, they were so terrified that they wet themselves and blurted out everything.

They were found at the root.

How much money was given, and what lines should be said?

No reservations.

"As I suspected, it was just as I guessed."

Uchiha Setsuna's eyes narrowed slightly.

This media storm came on so strangely that he would never believe it if you told him there was no one behind it.

The white teeth incident from over a decade ago seems to have been similar...

Just as he was thinking.

"Lord Setsuna, something has happened!"

The Uchiha clansmen came in to report.

"what's up?"

"The villagers all started making a fuss, demanding that the Hokage expel Naruto."

"what?!"

……

"Drive away the fox demon!!"

"Get out of Konoha, you fox spirit!"

"Drive away the fox demon!!"

The procession of villagers grew larger and larger, their voices converging above Konoha and exploding across the entire village.

Kakashi, perched on a tree branch, was utterly bewildered by what he saw.

My head is throbbing!

"How did things get like this? We must notify the Hokage immediately!"

Hokage Tower.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was handling official business, froze on the spot as if petrified upon hearing Kakashi's report.

pat!

The cigarette holder in his mouth fell out.

Chapter 23 Naruto, the Son of a Hero!

What the hell?

Are the villagers marching?

Is the purpose of the parade still to drive the Jinchūriki out of Konoha?

What a joke!

If he really banished the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Konoha, Tobirama Senju would probably crawl out of his grave and strangle him to death, in a mad dash!

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head to look at the village outside the Hokage's office window. He could vaguely see a dark mass of people rushing towards them in the distance.

Phrases such as "demon fox" and "get out of Konoha" also faintly reached my ears.

Ruined!

it is true!

He slumped weakly in his seat, drenched in cold sweat.

Like being fished out of the water.

"Danzo! You bastard!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes turned red in an instant.

Without a doubt, this was Danzo's fault!

Now, how can this situation be resolved?

……

"uncle……"

Naruto gripped Mirai's hand even tighter, his palms sweating with tension.

Behind them, a massive procession of hundreds and thousands of villagers shouted in unison, united in their hatred of the enemy.

"Get out of Konoha, you fox spirit!"

He suffered a lot of bullying; when he walked on the street, children his own age would throw stones at him.

The emptiness in his heart was like a huge black hole, devouring all his energy.

I feel like a walking corpse all day long.

Sitting alone on the swing, silently watching the children of the same age.

However, even those things pale in comparison to this bullying.

Almost all the villagers gathered to drive him out of Konoha.

He didn't understand what he had done wrong.

Why do I have to endure everyone's cold stares and malice wherever I go?

Why do these adults want to unleash all their malice on him?

Why……

The gentle pat on his head brought him back from his pain.

"Don't be afraid, your uncle is here!"

Even if the whole world is against you, your uncle will stand firmly in front of you.

Naruto's fingers trembled slightly.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and forced a smile.

"Yes, I'm not scared."

Yes, and there's an uncle too!

Even if everyone hates me, I still have my uncle behind me.

Thinking this way, Naruto seemed to find that the villagers cursing around him weren't so annoying anymore.

The outline of the Hokage Building came into view.

A large group of villagers had already gathered there, and were so excited that they wanted to rush in.

The covert forces are maintaining order.

Several masked operatives, drenched in sweat, blocked the crowd trying to rush in.

"Please don't get agitated, the Hokage is coming right away!"

"This is the Hokage Building. Please maintain order."

Kakashi was also among the ANBU members, his silver hair particularly eye-catching, but he was clearly struggling to cope with the chaotic crowd, appearing somewhat flustered.

"The Hokage has arrived!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then all the people began to squeeze towards the entrance of the Hokage Building. The pressure on the Anbu who were blocking the way increased instantly, and they were almost crushed underfoot.

Accompanied by members of the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped out of the entrance and felt immense pressure as he looked at the excited crowd surging towards him.

He cursed Danzo to death in his heart!

Damn Danzo, you caused this mess and now I have to clean it up!

To prepare for the situation, he even wore the Hokage robes and hat.

However, it seems unlikely to be very effective now.

Before he could even speak, the crowd began to stir.

"Lord Hokage, please expel the demon fox from Konoha!"

"Yes! And his awful uncle too!"

"He's been committing all sorts of evil deeds because of his power, and many villagers have already been threatened by him. We must drive him away!"

"That's right! Drive away the fox demon and his bastard uncle!"

In front of the Hokage Building, Naruto gripped Mirai Namikaze's hand even tighter, his head bowed, his lips pursed in silence.

They were in the only open space among the crowd, and all the villagers kept their distance from them, their eyes filled with disgust.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine. He took a deep breath and used his chakra to amplify his voice.

"Everyone, please quiet down!"
