Chapter 9: Execute The Second Step of The n


    Li Yaoxiang exited the sealed space. He returned to Uzumaki Naruto''s house. Li Yaoxiang also returned the control of the body to Naruto.


    When Naruto noticed that the surrounding environment had changed again, Naruto suddenly became nervous and quickly asked in his mind: "Where''s dad? Mom? Are they gone?"


    Li Yaoxiang did not respond.


    Naruto knew what this silence meant. He slowly lowered his head. He looked a little lost. But soon, Naruto''s head lifted up, and his eyes became brighter and piercing!


    Although it was short, it was enough! Because today is the happiest day, he ever felt in his life!


    He also has parents! He knows who his father and mother are!


    And more importantly, since his father is the Hokage, Namikaze Minato, who saved the whole vige, does that mean that as long as everyone knows the truth, they will not hate Naruto anymore?


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt.


    The scene of him making friends with everyone and having fun together shed in his mind.


    Needless to say, Li Yaoxiang also knew what Naruto was thinking. He was not surprised. Anyway, he was used to Naruto always thinking positively. Naruto, who was influenced by Asura''s soul, became cheerful and optimistic since he was born.


    Li Yaoxiang immediately interrupted Naruto''s thoughts: "Really? I thought everyone already knew that your father was Namikaze Minato? Did everyone willing to make friends with you so far? Did they?"


    Naruto Uzumaki was still obsessed with the various scenes in his fantasy. After hearing this sentence, he was taken aback. He was puzzled.


    Without waiting for Naruto to ask, Li Yaoxiang continued: "Don''t be delusional! The people in the vige are more ungrateful than you think! More ruthless than you think! Otherwise, they won''t treat you like this all these years!"


    Naruto was shocked by Li Yaoxiang''s words. He retorted again and again: "No! No! No! They just don''t know who I am! Otherwise, they wouldn''t treat me like this! That''s right! It must be that! As long as they know who I am. They will definitely change!"


    "Heh." Li Yaoxiang sneered, "What about the Hokage grandpa? Does he know who you are? At first, your father entrusted him to take care of you. But the result? In addition to being afraid of you, he sent someone to monitor for 24 hours. Besides that, what else did he do? Does he really care about you?"


    Uzumaki Naruto listened incredulously to everything Li Yaoxiang said, and he captured the key points in Li Yaoxiang''s words.


    That is, ''Grandpa Hokage has sent someone to monitor him 24 hours.''


    But the problem is... how can that be?!


    If someone really monitors him for 24 hours, why do they and Grandpa Hokage ignore Naruto after knowing what happened to him?


    ''Is it true that the people in the vige are so cruel and ungrateful, as the "Owner of the Voice" said?''


    ''NO! It can''t be!''


    ''I''m going to ask Grandpa Hokage himself what is going on!''


    Naruto gave no response. He opened and shut the door very emotionally and rushed over the snowy road to the Hokage Residence.


    Seeing this, Li Yaoxiang smiled.


    The reason why he threw out the rhetoric questions were to guide Uzumaki Naruto into ming Sarutobi Hiruzen! Obviously, his goal had been achieved. Next was the sessful countdown of the 2nd Step n.


    The previous step was to let Uzumaki Naruto feel that no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the minds of others. To let his life fall to the bottom entirely.


    So now was the time to make Narutopletely rebound from the bottom!


    Go to the pinnacle of life!


    To help Naruto get everything he wants!


    Because Li Yaoxiang knew that the higher he stood, the heavier you fall.


    Only in this way will the final effect of darkening Naruto be more perfect!


    .....


    Hokage Residence, in the high-level Conference Hall.


    There is a long table in the Conference Hall.


    Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in the main seat. Mitokado Homura* and Utatane Koharu* sat side by side on the right side of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Shimura Danzo sat was sitting on the left row.


    [*TL note: Ever since childhood, Homura and Hiruzen Sarutobi have been close friends. Under the guidance of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, they and their third team-mate, Koharu Utatane, havepleted numerous missions together.]


    The four people are all talking, discussing various policies, problems, and solutions in the vige,rge and small. From the rtionship between vige to vige, and down to ordinary people''s daily lives.


    They suddenly moved to Uchiha n''s topic.


    "Hiruzen, are you still going to endure it?! Uchiha n''s attitude has be more and more obvious! Do you really have to wait for them to do it before you can make up your mind?! Do you know how serious the consequences are?!" It was Shimura Danzo who spoke.


    He had already transnted Sharingan through Orochimaru. That''s why he knew the power of Sharingan very well. He was also very eager to get more Sharingan.


    Therefore, over the years, he continued to use various reasons to urge Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others to quickly sanctioned Uchiha n and further force the Uchiha n to rebel.


    Sarutobi Hiruzen sucked in the tobo pipe: "The vige has lost too much talent. We can''t keep up with it."


    "What''s the matter? Are you regretting now? Did you forget how Tobirama-sensei died?" Hearing Shimura Danzo uttering the words'' Tobirama-sensei'', Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were all moved by that.


    After all, Shimura Danzo was right.


    In the beginning, the Second Raikage of Kumo Vige was ambushed by the Gold and Silver Brothers** and barely escaped with his life. In the end, Kumo Vige suffered huge losses and even affected their Konoha.


    [**TL note: Years ago, before the First Shinobi World War, the Gold and Silver Brothers made names for themselves in their attempt to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox for their vige. They were instead swallowed whole by the beast. The brothers survived inside Kurama for two weeks by eating the beast''s flesh; this would eventually lead to the fox regurgitating them. This left them with unusuallyrge chakra-reserves and abilities simr to those of a jinchriki. With their newfound powers, the brothers assaulted the Second Raikage during his peace pact with the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju to stage a coup d''etat. Managing to bring the Second Hokage to the verge of death, the brothers have dered disgraces for their treacherous actions and deceptive natures.]


    Because of this, over the years, they will not be soft on any ''unstable factor'' in managing Konoha!


    However, gradually, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a bit hesitant. He began to doubt whether their actions over the years were right or wrong. Because of their approach, Konoha has already lost too much strength and talent.


    "The death of Sakumo at that time has caused the vige to lose too much strength Jiraiya and Tsunade also left the vige because of this. We can no longer make a rash decision. If we use tough methods to deal with Uchiha n and there''s a slight mistake, Konoha may fall into a huge crisis." Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his concerns.


    Sarutobi Hiruzen was telling the truth. But Shimura Danzo was upset. He was mirroring Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Hmph! Are youining now? Don''t forget, at that time, everyone agreed with Sakumo***!" Shimura Danzo immediately retorted.


    [***TL note: Sakumo Hatake was a famous and powerful ninja of Konohagakure who, during his lifetime, held fame that was said to overshadow even that of the Legendary Three Ninja. His son, Kakashi, proved himself a genius like Sakumo and idolized him, desiring to be just as great a ninja as his father. His wife died when Kakashi was very young.]
