Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 6 Sarutobi: I won't regret it!

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze hardened, and he calmly ordered, "Someone come here!"

A slender, purple-haired ANBU ninja wearing a red dog mask instantly appeared and knelt on one knee.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Go and give this letter to Jiraiya!"

Before he could finish speaking, another gloomy voice rang out from outside the office.

"Hiruzen! A Jinchuriki dared to attack the villagers of Konoha! He's utterly depraved and his crimes are unforgivable!"

"This time, you must hand over the Jinchūriki to me for training and discipline within the Root system!"

Before the person arrived, their voice was heard.

Then the office door was pushed open with a thud, and a middle-aged man with a cold and dark aura, his right eye and right arm tightly wrapped in bandages, strode in.

If any evil, unorthodox, forbidden ninjutsu is discovered, it's guaranteed to be related to Tobirama.

And when it comes to bad deeds and dirty work, Danzo is definitely blamed.

"Hiruzen! The Jinchuriki is utterly depraved and his crimes are unforgivable!"

The legendary leader of Konoha's Root, Danzo Shimura, leaned on his cane and spoke in a somber tone.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow and, seeing Danzo Shimura charging towards him with an imposing aura, completely lacking the composure expected of a Konoha high-ranking official, rebuked him.

"Danzo, how many times have I told you! When you're at work, use your job title!"

Upon seeing this, the young ANBU ninja with long purple hair, knowing that the matter involved a power struggle among high-ranking officials and that the Jinchuriki was a secret of Konoha, dared not linger and quickly disappeared in a flash.

Upon hearing this, Danzo choked on his words, his face turning ashen, as if he had tasted the most gruesome intestines, but he still continued.

"If you had handed the Jinchuriki over to me earlier, I would have trained him into a perfect ninja, loyal to Konoha and capable of carrying out missions flawlessly!"

"In just a few days, they attacked and injured villagers multiple times."

This is beyond just being out of control; we need to take decisive action!

After accepting the crystal ball, Hiruzen Sarutobi's originally aged and cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, revealing the former domineering aura of a ninja who once dominated the ninja world, his sharpness fully exposed.

"Danzo, how dare you secretly disobey my orders and spy on the village's Jinchuriki without my permission!?"

Danzo remained unperturbed, responding calmly.

"Hiruzen... You are very busy and have many responsibilities. As the leader of Root and the Hokage assisting me, what's wrong with me helping you share the village's burdens?"

Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who sat in the Hokage's seat, wearing a red and white robe and a Hokage hat, and a hint of jealousy and greed flashed in his eyes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his pipe, then slammed it heavily on the desk, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Immediately remove all Root members from Naruto's vicinity! Only those with the Will of Fire are worthy to approach Jinchuriki!"

"I've already sent someone to recall Jiraiya. From now on, Jiraiya will be in charge of training Naruto! You don't need to interfere, Danzo!"

Danzo's aged, bark-like face suddenly fell, his lips twitched, and his whole body exuded a gloomy aura.

What do you mean by possessing the Will of Fire?! Are you saying I don't have the Will of Fire?!

I simply lack the distinctive Will of Fire that you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, possess!

Besides, I was the one who met Tobirama-sensei first.

As fellow disciples of Tobirama, why did you, Sarutobi, ultimately become Hokage?

Staring at Sarutobi's calm and composed face, Danzo felt increasingly indignant and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Such autocratic behavior, Hiruzen, what will you do later..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand to interrupt the pre-attack animation, then cleaved the railway track with a single stroke.

"I won't regret it! Enough with the nonsense, my mind is made up!"

Danzo's expression froze. He was the one who had come to confront Hiruzen Sarutobi with such a fierce aura.

Why does it feel like my threatening questioning is like punching cotton, but it's the Khmer Rouge?

He didn't linger, turned around and left, as if he had made up his mind.

Then came Hiruzen Sarutobi's leisurely voice from behind.

"Danzo, as long as I remain in Konoha, Konoha is under my rule!"

"Remember, I am the Hokage!"

Upon hearing those two words, Danzo's old face turned extremely ugly, and he felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart, filled with a sense of loss and desolation.

His expression shifted to six parts pain, three parts anger, and one part resentment.

Leaning on his cane, he walked away quickly.

"Bang!"

They smashed the door and left.

Looking at his old friend's distraught state, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long sigh of relief.

The heavy feeling that had been weighing on Konoha's shoulders also lightened up a bit.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously thought it was Danzo, but then realized that Danzo wouldn't be so polite.

"Please come in!"

Yakushi Nonou entered the room with utmost respect and bowed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes. Yakushi Nonou was a former Root ninja, one of Danzo's elite subordinates, wasn't she?

She came to find me not long after Danzo left. Is Danzo still not satisfied with his desire to take over Jinchuriki?

"Lord Hokage, I have urgent news to report, concerning the village's Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki..."

But after Nono reported the situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked surprised. He had just been using the telescope technique to spy on Naruto dealing with those kids.

The latest novel is first published here!

I was interrupted by Danzo halfway through, and I didn't know what happened next.

Naruto actually has the talent of a medical ninja?!

As expected of Minato and Kushina's son! Exceptionally gifted!

Even Tsunade at that age couldn't do that.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly, a mixture of joy and exhilaration in his heart.

But if we hand Naruto over to Jiraiya, wouldn't that be a waste of Naruto's medical talent?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the respectful Yakushi Nono across from him, but unfortunately, Nono came from Root and was entangled with Danzo.

Otherwise, she would be a good candidate to be Naruto's teacher...

Medical Ninja...

If only Tsunade would be willing to go back to the village and teach Naruto...

Although both Jiraiya and Tsunade left the village, the degree of their connection with Konoha was vastly different!

Jiraiya was a libertine by nature, who liked to wander around looking for novel material, date beautiful hostesses, and pursue the elusive savior disciple.

If there is an emergency in the village, he can summon people back from outside the village with just a letter. Jiraiya himself would also occasionally return to the village to report and take on some missions from various places.

However, Tsunade has almost completely severed ties with the village! Even he, as the Hokage, cannot fully track her movements.

If it weren't for her truly special identity—the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, and his own personal disciple—it would be a different story.

Otherwise, in other ninja villages, someone like her would be considered a rogue ninja who defected from the village and would be on a wanted list!

Sarutobi rubbed his temples, his tone sincere, "Nonou owes a lot to you this time, otherwise the village might have buried a medical genius."

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's response, Nono was also delighted.

Once Naruto truly becomes a medical ninja and helps his comrades in the village, perhaps people's perception of him will change.

"Hokage-sama, may I also teach Naruto some basic medical knowledge?"

"I asked cautiously," Nono asked, and Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded.

After Yakushi Nonou left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat alone on the Hokage chair, lost in thought for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh and began to write a letter.

I hope that this time, Tsunade will consider my past as her teacher, having guided and nurtured her for so many years, and will trust Konoha once again!

"Someone, take this letter to Tsunade."

A white-haired, masked member of the Dark Guard instantly teleported.

If Tsunade returns, everything in the village will be alright.
