After all, the roasted meat meal was not finished, because Naoto was called to Fugaku by the tribesmen who came halfway.
"Naoto is here, Itachi is with you too?"
As soon as he entered the door, he found Fugaku sitting at the table drinking tea. He was obviously surprised to see Naoto and Itachi together.
"Well, I wanted to go for a walk and happened to meet Itachi, so we came together."
"Well, Itachi, please go back to your room first. I have something to discuss with Naoto."
Itachi nodded uneasily and walked slowly back to the room.
Fugaku and Naoto were the only two people left in the hall. Fugaku poured a cup of tea in front of Naoto himself, and Naoto took it with some fear.
"Don't be nervous." Fugaku smiled, then sat down and said
"Have you heard the latest rumors?"
Naoto guessed Fugaku's meaning immediately and replied, "Is it about the election of the Fourth Hokage?"
Seeing Fugaku's noncommittal expression, Naoto made an angry expression and said, "The village is going to elect the Fourth Hokage, but there is not even the position of clan leader! This is too much!"
In fact, even straight people don’t understand this operation.
You said that even if you don't want someone from the Uchiha clan to be Hokage, you don't even have the right to let them participate in the election, right
Even if Fugaku were to fight, he might not be able to compete with Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru.
The two of them had a yellow flash and stole the show during the Third Ninja War. They were flying thunder gods and controlled the ninja world. They were also disciples of Jiraiya, the three ninjas.
The other Orochimaru himself is one of the three ninjas. He participated in the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War. He is famous and has outstanding achievements. He is also a disciple of the Third Hokage and has a higher status than Namikaze Minato. .
No matter how you look at it, Fugaku does not threaten the ability of these two people, even if he activates the Mangekyo Sharingan.
But the village just made a god-level operation for you, directly blocking your political review, and you are not even qualified for the election! How can you possibly convince others if you do this
"The village knew that I turned on the kaleidoscope, but the news was blocked by the village. Presumably they were afraid that I would threaten the Hokage family."
Fugaku took a sip of tea and said, "Although I am angry, that is not the reason why I came to you."
Hearing the extra meaning in Fugaku's words, Naoto said decisively, "If you have anything to do, chief, just tell me, and I will try my best to complete it."
"You know about the demonic energy, and the things I assigned you are also related to this."
"Demon energy?!"
Naoto looked confused. He never thought that Fugaku calling him here would have anything to do with it.
"Yes, demonic energy." Fugaku made a serious expression, "You have also heard the news that the Rain Ninja Village was destroyed."
Naoto nodded slightly, "Yes, it's hard to imagine what kind of power can destroy a ninja village."
Fugaku replied, "It's the power of demonic energy..."
"???Demon energy? How could it be?" Naoto looked surprised
"A single amount of demonic energy can only give a person the power of a chunin, but there will be a special reaction between the demonic energy and the demonic energy. Sanshouyu Hanzo of the Rain Ninja Village used the power of seven demonic energies to destroy the Rain Ninja Village. of."
Everyone in the ninja world knows Hanzo's strength very well. He is indeed a well-deserved five-kage level combat power, but it is still not enough to destroy such a large area of the Rain Ninja Village.
To do this, the power of the seven demonic energies must increase his strength by at least ten times.
"... Incredible..." Naoto sighed
"It is indeed a very magical power, so we must not let them be obtained by other villages."
"What does the patriarch mean...?" Naoto tried to ask
"I heard from people in Amegakure Village that the demonic energy split again after Hanzo's death and flew to all parts of the world. So we in Konoha decided to carry out the work of recovering the demonic energy. Such dangerous things must not be obtained by people with unknown intentions. "
"...I see. Did the patriarch ask me to come here to collect it?"
"Yes, and this is an agreement reached between me and the village."
"Village...?"
"Yes, the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan sent elites from the genin and chunin respectively under the leadership of a jounin to collect the magic energy. If the magic energy is obtained by us, it will be kept by the Uchiha clan."
Naoto was shocked, he didn't expect that the village would use this method to appease the Uchiha clan.
It seems that the village also realized that not allowing Fugaku to participate in the election would completely anger the Uchiha clan, so it made compensation-
The Hokage family and the Uchiha family sent ninjas respectively. Whoever can grab the magic energy will be the one.
After all, the Hokage family already has the Kyuubi, so even if it allows Uchiha to get one or two demonic energies, it won't hurt. What's more, the ninjas they send are definitely the best of the best, and they may not necessarily let the Uchiha family succeed.
Using a demonic energy that you may not be able to get, and even if it is useful, it may not be very useful to appease the Uchiha clan. After seeing the power of demonic energy, you still have the courage to see that the Third Hokage can still make such decisive decisions sometimes. Well.
"The chuunin and I are honored to be able to represent the Uchiha clan...wait a minute, isn't that genin Shisui?"
Fugaku looked happy, "Yes, it's Shisui. With him here, no matter who the Hokage group sends, they will not be our opponent."
Uchiha Shisui, a super master who opened the three Magatama Sharingan and even the Mangekyo Sharingan during the war, is a genin...
After graduating from the ninja school, he immediately went to the battlefield. After he came back, he didn't have time to take the chunin exam, so he is still a genin to this day.
Naoto's mouth twitched, "If there is Shisui, then there will be no problem."
This is like asking Naruto from Shippuden to take the chunin exam. He is also a genin, but he is not a joking genin!
Is it good to ride a flying dragon on the face
(Unfortunately, even Shisui couldn't take away the demonic energy from my hands.)
Naoto thought to himself
"Okay, that's all. I will tell Shisui what happened when he comes back. The Third Hokage will summon you in a few days, and then you can set off."
"yes!"
Naoto replied loudly
… … … … …
A village in the southern part of the Fire Country
The man was walking on the street. The street was empty and quiet. In this environment, the man's footsteps could even be heard.
The man is very strong, with a resolute face. Even if he is covered by clothes, you can still feel the reserved muscles under the black robe.
Finally, he stopped in front of a tavern
Looking up at the name of the pub, the man slowly walked in.
The tavern was also very depressed, but that was also common in a country that had just gone through a war.
"Do you have any instructions?" It seemed that because he didn't expect anyone to come at this time, the clerk was stunned for a while and then quickly ran forward to wait for instructions.
"Sake, thank you." The man ordered
"Okay..." Just as the clerk was about to leave, he heard the man ask again.
"By the way, have any strange people come to the town recently?"
"Weird person? I wonder who the guest officer is referring to?"
"A man about twenty years old, with fair skin and blond hair. By the way, he has three moles on his left ear."
"Hmm... From what you said, it seems that such a person actually passed by a few days ago. Because his name was very strange, I was quite impressed."
"Really?" After hearing this, the man perked up and asked quickly, "What's his name?"
"It seems to be called... Dio... By the way, Dio Brando!"
