Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"What are you thinking, Hiruzen?"

[Danzo's group buy begins.]

[Xiaochun immediately joined the group after transferring dorms.]

[The two questioned each other, and Mitokado Homura immediately retorted, "Hiruzen, you handled this matter poorly. You should have consulted with us first."]

This year's graduation exam for the Ninja Academy was surprisingly easy.

[Koharu and Homura had already noticed.]

[He thought Hiruzen Sarutobi did this because there weren't enough genin.]

[But now it seems, it was entirely prepared for Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.]

Because he is a Jinchūriki, his control over chakra is inevitably inferior to that of others.

The graduation exam at the Ninja Academy primarily tests knowledge of the Three Body Techniques, which is as basic as it gets.

Even in previous years' exams, if the Three Bodies Technique were included, it would never have been a standalone exam subject.

Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly took a drag of his cigarette.

He said calmly, "Naruto is also a member of Konoha, and he is qualified to become a ninja."

"Besides, there's no rule in the village that says a Jinchuriki can't become a ninja."

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo snorted coldly.

"Hiruzen, this is absolutely impossible!"

[The words fell.]

Koharu and Homura nodded simultaneously.

Clearly, they don't agree with this either.

A Jinchuriki is a Jinchuriki; once they become a ninja, they are guaranteed to have missions outside the village.

What should I do if something unexpected happens while I'm out?

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki absolutely cannot leave the village, otherwise, he won't be able to return to Konoha, and we can't afford that loss!" Mitokado Homura said with a serious expression.

"That's right. If other villages target us, it will put Konoha in danger," Koharu Utatane added.

However, Danzo Shimura suddenly fell silent.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his best friend.

[I knew my best friend had a backup plan.]

Since that's the case.

"Hiruzen, making a Jinchuriki a ninja... isn't entirely out of the question."

【oh?】

【Um?!】

[Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised; knowing his best friend as he did, he should have strongly opposed this.]

Koharu and Homura were completely dumbfounded.

[You started the group buy, so why are you the one who ran away first?]

"Making a Jinchuriki a ninja is a matter that can be considered a big or small thing."

"Human Jinchūriki are, after all, an extremely unstable and dangerous factor."

"Let one of my Root organization's ninjas become his Jonin instructor."

"That will put my mind at ease."

Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were stunned for a moment, then they realized what was happening.

[Was it to become a Jonin who trained Shimura Danzo's people to become Jinchūriki?]

What's the difference between that and going to the root of the organization?

【Hahaha~】

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

His old face was covered in wrinkles.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt that his choice was right.

[To help Naruto grow, he first assisted him for a period of time, and after they became familiar with each other, he then followed Asuma... He was still young, possessed extremely high potential, and was very obedient.]

In this way, after Asuma becomes the Fifth Hokage, he no longer needs to fear his three old comrades.

Besides, I can hold the fort at the rear.

[After laughing for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.]

[He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I've made up my mind."]

Upon hearing this, the three felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"I've already let Kakashi leave the Anbu. He'll be Naruto's mentor Jonin from now on."

"No one in the village is more suitable than him."

"No need to say more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he looked at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

The two were taken aback, then silently shut their mouths.

【Kakashi?】

[That is indeed the most suitable.]

[He possesses the Sharingan and is a disciple of the Fourth Hokage.]

However, Danzo Shimura did not give up.

"Hiruzen, I still disagree!"

"For a Jinchuriki to become a ninja, he must be mentored by a Jonin from my Root organization!"

"Alright, that's enough." Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile vanished.

【"Hiruzen!"】

【"you......"】

Before Shimura Danzo could finish speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, interrupting him.

"Danzo, are you questioning me?"

"Don't forget who you are now."

"You didn't even have the Hokage's assistant, and you're questioning me, the Hokage?"

【Gah——】

Danzo Shimura's face instantly darkened.

Neither Koharu nor Homura Mitokado remained silent.

[Since Hiruzen Sarutobi has already said so much, if you continue to speak carelessly, you might end up being targeted by him.]

"Don't forget, I am the Hokage."

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo's face flushed red.

But in the end, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

【Bang--】

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance.

"In that case, we have no objections. Hiruzen, as long as you're confident."

After saying this, the two left the Hokage's office.

Looking at the empty Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples.

I suddenly feel like I'm really getting old.

"Naruto, you'd better grow up quickly."

"Grandpa, I'm a little tired."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up and rubbed his aching lower back.

Then she turned her head to look at the fallen leaves outside the window.

"Let Kurenai Yuhi take on the role of Class 8."

"Asuma, the path has been paved for you... Just open your mouth and you can eat it."

Ino Yamanaka: "Disgusting!"

Nara Shikamaru: "This is troublesome... I knew it would turn out like this."

Sakura Haruno: "Asuma-sensei is madly pursuing Kurenai-sensei, so the Third Hokage just went along with it?"

Temari: "Once Asuma successfully catches up with Kurenai Yuhi, it will be equivalent to gaining the support of the six great ninja clans."

Mabui: "That's right, in this way, Asuma's reputation among the Hokage candidates will be extremely high."

Mei Terumi: "Also, don't forget that the Sarutobi clan replaced the Uchiha clan as the Konoha Guard, and they have considerable prestige among the common people. In addition, Sarutobi Asuma is the son of the Third Hokage."

Sakura Haruno: "Damn it, this isn't fair competition at all!"

Samui: "What kind of fairness is this?"

The Fourth Raikage: "That old Third Hokage was a real menace... Well, for Konoha, for the ninja world, he was an absolute good guy~"

Onoki: "Hmph! If I were the Third Hokage... never mind, I won't say anything, otherwise I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Black Soil: "You old geezer, I've put up with you for far too long!"

Kushina Uzumaki: "When does the quiz start?"

Kushina Uzumaki: "I can't wait."

Minato Namikaze: I think... it probably won't be that fast. There are a lot of scenes of Naruto training. According to everyone, it's a reward given to everyone as compensation for the viewing system... I think so too.

Tobirama Senju: "Not bad. Those were like making up for the reward. Also, little girl from the Uzumaki clan, don't worry, we'll all take action. They can't escape. We'll finish them off in the end."

Kushina Uzumaki: "Who asked you?"
