Three days later, in the Hokage's office.

The Nine-Tails went berserk and attacked Konoha, causing heavy casualties, including the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage and his wife. The sad news spread wildly throughout the ninja world, and the speed of its spread was simply incredible.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had issued an order to strictly prohibit the spread of the story, the news still made the front page of the ninja world the next day, ranking first on the hot search list, and the popularity has continued unabated. To say that there is no one behind this, fanning the flames, is really lying.

Konoha was too busy to find the mastermind. In order to restore the village to its full potential in the shortest possible time, the senior officials were so exhausted that they did not eat or drink for three consecutive days. Fortunately, there was a magical medicine called "Hyouliang Pill" in the ninja world. Otherwise, Konoha would have lost the Third Hokage and the Elders immediately after losing the Fourth Hokage.

Of course, Duke is looking forward to this scene.

At this time, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was temporarily acting as the Hokage, Shimura Danzo, Mito Enmon, Utane Koharu and other Konoha leaders gathered together.

Duke sat opposite them, stroking Hades's head. The dog squinted his eyes, shook his head and wagged his tail, and kept flattering his master by sticking out his tongue and licking his hands, then bared his teeth at the old guys.

But unfortunately, after the Nine-Tails Night, Duke's face became very recognizable in Konoha. He was a great hero who suppressed the Nine-Tails and saved thousands of Konoha residents and ninjas with medical ninjutsu, and a strong man admired by thousands of people.

This was a very serious meeting, and the content of the meeting revolved around the issue of Watergate's legacy!

"Before I answer this question, Elder Danzo, could you tell me what's going on with your arm?" Duke rolled his eyes. Danzo actually brought up Wood Release, and he really thought he knew nothing.

The public was furious! Sarutobi Hiruzen was immediately overwhelmed. Konoha was very fragile now, and it couldn't stand Duke's torment. In order to appease the people, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly gave a speech that "I will never let heroes bleed and cry", and then actively participated in the public welfare activity of "sending warmth to the community". It took a lot of effort, almost losing his life, to make the people believe that Konoha is still Konoha, and the Hokage is still great and glorious.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke: "Uchiha Madara's identity needs to be verified. It is very likely that he was replaced by someone unknown. After all, he has been dead for many years. The first and second generations have also confirmed it."

Especially after beating up the Anbu, Duke fell to his knees in tears and hysterically shouted to the Hokage: "Don't even think about it, I won't surrender!"

In myths and legends, the founder of ninjutsu, the Six Paths Sage, possessed a pair of Samsara eyes. The strongest eye power that controls life and death, and has the power to destroy the world, this is how the Samsara eyes are described in myths. Among the three major eye techniques, the Samsara eyes have a transcendent status, and they are so powerful that they can beat the Sharingan and the Byakugan with eighteen five-point hairpin bends, so powerful that even the taillights of a car cannot be seen.

Neither.

"You are too dangerous!" Mito Enmon and Utane Koharu said at the same time: "We admit that you are strong enough to suppress the Nine-Tails, but this is not a reason for you to detain the Jinchūriki."

"Duke, calm down!" Jiraiya was greatly surprised by the undisguised murderous intent, and he tried to calm Duke down.

after.

Duke laughed instead of getting angry: "Are you talking about me?"

"It's the Rinnegan instead... are you serious?"

In front of the house of the head of Konoha Anbu.

In every sense, no one in Konoha can stop Duke. To put it bluntly, if Duke is pushed into a corner and forces Naruto to leave Konoha, there won't even be anyone to stop him.

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted disdainfully, "No need to mess around anymore. The Jinchūriki belongs to the village. Even if the Yondaime is still alive, he has no choice but to serve. Considering that you are now the hero of the village, don't continue to be stubborn. The Nine-Tails is not something you can control."

"Excuse me, but in Konoha right now, no one is more suitable than me to be Naruto's guardian." Duke said provocatively with a look of 'you guys are a bunch of idiots': "If the Nine-Tails goes berserk, whether it's Wood Release or Ice Release, I can suppress it in the fastest time. What about you?"

Nothing happened next. The Anbu members were beaten in the street, and when they went back to report, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought they had been in a car accident.

Who should he rely on? The aged Sarutobi Hiruzen, or Jiraiya who was disillusioned with Konoha? Don't be ridiculous. Jiraiya and Duke were on the same page when it came to the issue of Jinchūriki. It was already a great honor for Jiraiya not to get involved.

Duke's extremely simple and calm narration made the entire Hokage office silent. The senior executives looked at each other in silence. Even though they knew that the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails rampage must be a powerful person, they were caught off guard by the mention of the Samsara Eye right from the start. What's more, there was a man named Uchiha Madara in the intelligence. He was a monster that was on par with the first generation!

"Why are there six pairs of Samsara eyes? Did something happen to Nagato and the other two?" Jiraiya was worried and anxious. Fortunately, everyone present had the same expression, so his struggle was not noticeable.

Danzo’s meaning was very simple, nuclear weapons must be controlled by the state, and no individual could indoctrinate him with ideas. This was also the result of discussions among several senior officials including Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I've never been so calm..." Duke picked up the teacup on the table and instantly froze the tea into an ice block. He turned the teacup upside down on the table and glanced at the group of old guys who had fallen into silence: "The ones who are not calm... are them!"

"Rinnegan! Uchiha Madara...are you...sure?"

"First of all, Naruto is not the Nine-Tails. To me, he is just Minato-san's son! Secondly, I don't care about your so-called Nine-Tails. If it weren't for the fact that the Jinchūriki would die if he were separated from the tailed beast, I would be able to throw the Nine-Tails in your face right now." A dangerous light flashed in Duke's eyes, and the cold air spread from under his feet, covering the ground.

"What do you think, elders?" Duke knew that things had taken a turn for the better when he heard this.

"Your summoning beast is just an ordinary ninja dog, but it performed Wood Release that night. Don't you want to say anything about this?"

This is what happened at the time…

It is unknown whether the Rinnegan really exists, but most people do not believe it. They prefer to believe that it is just a fairy tale.

In theory, this question itself is not valid. The legacy of the Fourth Hokage and the village's Jinchūriki should be taken over by the village. However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Duke to hand over Naruto, Duke refused outright, and several Anbu who came to the door were beaten into pig heads.

What happened? After the crisis was over, the village wanted to get rid of the donkey. How could they tolerate this? The villagers spontaneously organized a human wall and surrounded the Mitarai residence, saying: If you want to kill the hero of Konoha, you have to step over their corpses first.

Hades cooperated very well, growling and issuing threatening warnings to several people.

Danzo's tone was emotionless, and he mentioned Jinchūriki one by one, as if he was talking about the goods on the shelf. Duke frowned when he heard this, and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Before his death, Senior Brother Minato entrusted Naruto to me. This was the last wish of the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. You are just an elder, and you actually disobeyed the Hokage's order!"

Would a hero beat someone up for no reason? Impossible, they must have deserved it!

As for the disabled people on crutches, why their hands and feet are so flexible, fighting the Anbu is like playing, this is not within the villagers' consideration. The young men have comminuted fractures in both legs, but they can still insist on practicing the moonwalk! Duke's crutches are nothing!

What is Minato's legacy? Money, ninjutsu, body... or property certificate?

Everyone present was only concerned about the fate of Minato and Kushina's son, the new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki - Naruto.

Among the people present, only Jiraiya had seen the Samsara Eye with his own eyes. In fact, he felt a little uneasy when Duke was talking about the Samsara Eye. After struggling for a while, the good teacher chose to remain silent, just like he did not report the matter of the Samsara Eye that year, and he made the same choice this time.

Next to Duke was Jiraiya, who had rushed back overnight after failing to catch up with the original. And the Anbu chief Zixiao, who was sitting upright, appeared here to prevent the breakdown of the talks from causing someone to go berserk, so he played the great and sacred role of a mascot.

"This is just your personal statement. I don't know whether the Fourth Hokage has explained it. I only know..." Danzo raised his head, looked directly at Duke, and said coldly: "The young Jinchūriki must be supervised by the village. He is just a newborn baby. He has no ability to distinguish right from wrong during his growth. If he is misled by someone with ulterior motives, it will definitely be a disaster for the village."

The confused crowd was furious! The hero was seriously injured in order to save the village. He was so young that he was short-handed, blind, and even had to use crutches.

Hence, today’s meeting took place.

Duke didn't want to say more about the scene at that time. Maybe he would explain it later, but definitely not now. To put it bluntly, he didn't trust the group of high-ranking officials in front of him. In addition to distrust, he also had his own selfish motives. He didn't want to reveal Obito's identity. Unlike the original work, Obito was just controlled by illusion and had a chance to clear his name.

The office remained silent for ten minutes, with everyone's expression changing. Sarutobi Hiruzen and his companions were worried about the powerful enemy; Jiraiya's face was gloomy, and the image of the red-haired disciple flashed through his mind; Zixiao's face was as heavy as water, motionless as a mountain, and he lowered his head... He was concerned about the second brother.

In the past, this was just a common second-generation incident, and the onlookers would just laugh it off after dinner.

"How do you know? You... Orochimaru told you? Are you connected with Orochimaru?" Danzo's one eye shrank into a needle point and he shouted harshly.

Just as Danzo Shimura and the two elders were about to get to the point, Duke spoke up, "The people that Minato and I fought against that day were seven people, six of whom called themselves the Six Paths of Pain, and they all had a pair of Samsara eyes. The remaining one was the culprit who controlled the Nine-Tails, and he called himself Uchiha... Madara!"

"Let's put the matter of the Rinnegan aside!" Danzo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "We asked you to come here today for the legacy of the Fourth Hokage. The new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must be taken care of by the Hokage. You are only a Jonin in the village and you are not qualified to detain the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Duke, the adopted son of the Anbu chief, was covered in bandages, his hands were in plaster, his left eye was covered with bloody gauze, and he was on crutches. He was surrounded by a dozen masked Anbu men, and then...

By then, Obito will still be that pure idiot.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!" Duke sneered: "Elder Danzo, please stop digging a hole for me. Everyone here knows about Orochimaru's affairs. For the sake of some people's face, it's better not to mention it."

Moreover, Duke greatly increased his reputation on the Night of the Nine-Tails. He is incredibly popular in Konoha, and many ninjas and civilians admire him highly. He is a force that cannot be ignored.

Be it justice or strength, the old guys could not find any way to make Duke bow his head. In this case, the most reasonable solution is for both sides to take a step back.

Isn’t politics all about compromise?
