Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi's move a bit too fast?

Even they didn't react in time.

"I can't hide it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"Instead of waiting for the Raikage to find out the news himself, it's better for us to inform him in advance. Maybe that will ease his anger."

If the Kumogakure delegation had died in Konoha, he would probably have jumped off the table in anger.

This incident is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Raikage.

Of course, there was one more crucial reason he didn't mention.

If you send someone directly to inform the Raikage, then you can decide the specific details yourself.

With some appropriate modifications and subtle hints, the Raikage probably wouldn't find out so easily.

For example, in a letter he sent to Raikage.

They almost entirely shifted the blame onto Mirai Namikaze.

The kidnapping of Hinata by Kumogakure was vaguely glossed over, with the cause attributed to a conflict between Namikaze Mirai and the delegation, which ultimately escalated into a bloody incident.

As for whether the Raikage will find out?

He couldn't be happier to say that.

How could the delegation sent by the Hidden Cloud Village have such a coincidence that they secretly kidnapped Hinata on the night the ceremony ended?

A little thought reveals that there must be something fishy going on.

Perhaps these delegations came to Konoha with a special mission.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words can be seen as clearing the Raikage of a shameful stain.

The focus of the conflict is entirely on Mirai Namikaze.

This was also his and Danzo's goal.

"What surprised me was that the letter the Raikage sent back was very forceful, demanding that the Hyuga clan take responsibility for this matter."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was rather unpleasant.

If it were just Mirai Namikaze alone, it would be much easier to handle.

He was all alone, with no powerful backing.

Whether it's suppression or targeting, as long as it's handled properly, it can achieve good results.

But once the Hyuga clan is involved...

Things become much more complicated.

"Hiruzen, in my opinion, the Hidden Cloud Village is probably targeting the Hyuga clan because they want to use the Byakugan bloodline."

Danzo's single, hawk-like eye flashed with a cold light.

With his knowledge and experience, he could naturally guess the Raikage's thoughts.

Since the entire delegation has been wiped out, we might as well go all out and force Konoha to join the war, using the threat of war to gain their favor.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, feeling an intense headache.

This is also what he is worried about.

He even suspected that Namikaze Mirai had foreseen this, which was why she used this method to bind Hinata to him.

If you want to influence Namikaze Mirai, you can't bypass the Hyuga clan.

"Hiruzen, don't worry, things may not be as complicated as you think."

Danzo's ugly face, covered in scars, held a sinister smile.

His left cheek is entirely thanks to Mirai Namikaze!

This scar is one of the most memorable humiliations of his life!

His hatred for Namikaze Mirai has reached its peak!

“Although Namikaze Mirai saved Hinata, Hiashi knows which is more important, a daughter or the entire Hyuga clan.”

"Moreover, and most importantly, to give the Raikage an explanation, it's not necessary to let the Byakugan leak out. As far as I know, the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal has the ability to directly destroy the Byakugan."

"From this perspective, the Raikage's request isn't too unreasonable for Hyuga."

"We can still focus the conflict on the future of the storm."

As Danzo recounted his story, Hiruzen Sarutobi's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his worried face softened.

I felt a sense of relief.

It seems that Danzo has grown stronger due to his previous series of defeats.

It seems that losing that eye wasn't for nothing.

"So, what do you think we should do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to hear Danzo's opinion.

"It's very simple. Just hold a high-level meeting and invite Namikaze Mirai to attend as well."

Danzo's one eye flashed with a hawk-like laugh.

"Since he caused this trouble, he should naturally have to deal with it himself. Killing an envoy from another village and letting war re-enter Konoha is a crime that even if he is Minato's brother, he cannot bear!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi found himself increasingly relaxed as he listened.

The more I listen, the more confident I feel.

Yes, just as Danzo said, killing the envoy from another village and letting war re-enter Konoha is a crime that Namikaze Mirai cannot bear.

Once this charge is proven.

Just because he is Minato's brother and Naruto's uncle doesn't mean he'll gain the villagers' forgiveness.

The best approach is to be open and honest, and use the pressure from the various ninja clans and higher-ups to force Namikaze Mirai to submit.

After all, nobody wants to start another war!

"We'll do as you say!"

"Moreover, the opinions expressed in the village also need to be guided. How can such a criminal who harms the village not be despised by the villagers?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling a hazy cloud of smoke. Under the influence of the tobacco, his tense mind finally relaxed completely.

Last time, because of Naruto's identity, his reputation in the village plummeted.

With such a great opportunity, how could we not let Namikaze Mirai enjoy the same treatment?

I've pushed it up on Twitter, please let me read it! Just flip to the last page, it's a matter of life and death for this book, I'm begging you!!!

Chapter 36 Danzo is furious! What are you doing, Hiashi?

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Namikaze Mirai smiled and ruffled Naruto's hair.

"The food is in the kitchen, just heat it up yourself. Uncle has to go out for a bit."

"Ah."

Naruto nodded obediently.

Pushing open the door, a masked ANBU member jumped down from the tree and stood in front of Namikaze Mirai.

The voice contained no emotion.

"In the future, the Hokage will invite you to the Hokage Building."

"Lead the way!"

Namikaze Mirai remained calm, as if she had expected this all along.

Following the ANBU member, they arrived at the Hokage Building and pushed open the door to the conference room on the third floor.

It was completely silent inside.

The long conference table was filled with ninjas at both ends, almost all of whom were high-ranking officials of the village or heads of large and small ninja clans.

All eyes turned to him in an instant.

Those eyes contained a lot of emotions.

There was scrutiny, disgust, surprise...

Namikaze Mirai's expression remained unchanged, indicating that Hiruzen Sarutobi had made preparations and had specially invited many high-ranking officials from the village.

They were preparing to use their power to put themselves on trial.

"You've arrived at the perfect time in the future, so find a seat!"

They said they were looking for a seat, but there was actually only one empty seat left.
