After the rescue of Gaara ended, Wood Leaf returned to its usual calm. Naruto and Sakura also followed Kakashi to perform a few ordinary tasks. Everything looked so peaceful.
I don't know when it started, but Naruto rescued the Fifth Kazekage Gaara from the Akatsuki and improved the relationship between Konoha and Sand Village. Rumors began to spread inside Konoha.
Dynasty Choname knew very well that Tsunade's group was building momentum for Naruto. While improving Naruto's prestige in the village, they continued to compete with Dynasty Choname.
Although Wood Leaf was firmly controlled by Dynasty Choname, and because of Dynasty Choname's powerful strength, no one dared to disobey Dynasty Choname on the surface.
But no matter how strong he is, Dynasty Choname will always be old one day.
Tsunade and the others were now obviously ready to support Naruto to sit in the position of the Sixth Hokage. Naruto's persistence and firm beliefs were recognized by them, and Naruto's ideas were also in line with the philosophy of the First Hokage.
The rumors didn't spread quickly, and only people occasionally talked about it in the street taverns. But as long as people heard the news, they would be curious about Naruto and continue to pay attention to his growth.
Next, as long as Naruto makes a few more great achievements and proves that he has the ability to protect Wood Leaf, he can quickly gain a group of worship and move toward the throne of Hokage.
However, Tsunade and the others obviously ignored the people's hearts.
Ever since Choi Ichiyo ascended to the throne, he has been propagating some war theories in the village, subtly making Konoha ninja think that other villages are evil, and that only when Konoha unifies the ninja world can there be true peace.
Especially after the collapse of Wood Leaf three years ago, Dynasty Choname never improved the relationship with Sand Village, nor did he appease the villagers who suffered losses in Wood Leaf. As a result, many people in Wood Leaf hated Sand Village, thinking that they were harboring evil intentions.
A year ago, after the war between Wood Leaf and Yunyin ended, Wood Leaf ninja became more hostile to other villages. And because Wood Leaf easily defeated Yunyin, Wood Leaf ninja thought highly of themselves, thinking that other villages were nothing.
And now Dynasty Choname has a huge reputation in Wood Leaf. As long as Dynasty Choname doesn't make any decisive mistakes, no one can shake Dynasty Choname's position.
In this case, it's obviously not so easy to promote a protector god that can be recognized by Konoha's ninjas.
There are even people with extreme ideas that Naruto colluded with Sand Village and betrayed Wood Leaf.
Regarding the rumors in the village, Dynasty Choname didn't care too much. It's actually very simple to destroy Naruto's reputation, just let him transform into a Bijuu in the village, but Dynasty Choname didn't want to do this.
But since they talked about the next Hokage's successor, it seems that it's time to bring Sasuke back.
Among the younger generation in Wood Leaf, it's obvious that Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kimimaro are the best. And judging from the achievements of the four, it seems that Kimimaro's achievements are the highest, and he's the strongest.
But Kimimaro is still Kirin's ninja, and he wasn't a baby when he was brought to Wood Leaf.
In this ninja world, children as young as five or six years old can be trained as spies. Kakashi started killing people at that age.
Therefore, even if Kimimaro makes many contributions, he can't be recognized as Hokage.
Although the Uchiha Clan didn't get the recognition of Wood Leaf's higher-ups in the past, Sasuke is Dynasty Choname's disciple, and he has the qualification to compete for the position of Hokage.
Especially now, Uchiha Sasuke is the last Uchiha in Wood Leaf, the successor of Sharingan. Whether there will be a new Sharingan Clan in Wood Leaf in the future depends on Sasuke.
And now that the Uchiha Clan has been destroyed, the lone Uchiha Sasuke is not a threat to the Wood Leaf Elders and other ninja clans.
Compared to Naruto, who saved the Kazekage, Sasuke has been undercover by Orochi Maru's side for three years, collecting information about Orochi Maru, and finally assisted Dynasty Choname to kill Orochi Maru and avenge Sandaime Hokage.
Such behavior can also bring great prestige to Sasuke.
If Sasuke kills Uchiha Itachi, it can also make everyone realize that Sasuke's strength is not what it used to be.
At this time, as long as Dynasty Choname works a little, he can use Sasuke to fight against Naruto and compete for the position of Sixth Hokage's successor.
It's worth mentioning that Dynasty Choname has been looking forward to the World Bridge incident, but it didn't happen. Later, Dynasty Choname looked through the notes again and realized that the information about meeting Yakushi Kabuto at the World Bridge was told to Sakura by Sasuke before he died.
However, because of Dynasty Choname's sudden attack, Sasuke died in the hands of Dynasty Choname without leaving any last words. Therefore, Naruto and Sakura also lost the information about Orochi Maru and Sasuke.
However, the World Bridge incident didn't have much impact on the plot. Although it made Naruto realize the huge gap between himself and Sasuke, it was effective to hit Naruto's self-confidence and let him wake up from his ego of 'saving the Kazekage and killing the Akatsuki's members'.
But Naruto was a person who was indomitable. After seeing Sasuke's strength, Naruto could only continue to work hard and strive to shorten the gap between him and Sasuke.
It seems that in the original story, Naruto was hit by Sasuke's strength, and after returning to Wood Leaf, he began to practice Wind Release – Rasenshuriken. But now, without the World Bridge incident, it seems that this powerful S-Class Ninjutsu will be aborted by historical inertia.
Let Naruto continue to be proud! Anyway, he's not on my side.
As for Naruto's future, if he's really the reincarnation of Asura, he will definitely have other ways to get more powerful.
A month later, Dynasty Choname received information from the Anbu.
Yunyin's Nibi Column Force Yugito was attacked by the Akatsuki and has now been brought back to the Akatsuki base. It was the Akatsuki's Immortal Duo who kidnapped Yugito. It was said that Yugito was quite miserable at that time, and only Hidan attacked her.
Inferring from the time, when the Wood Leaf Anbu received the news, investigated the scene, and then sent it back to Wood Leaf, Dynasty Choname saw this information. Several days have passed in the middle, I'm afraid that Yugito has already been stripped of her Bijuu and died.
In fact, the Anbu had already received Dynasty Choname's order. They didn't need to investigate the Akatsuki's information, and the reason why this information was sent back to Wood Leaf was because Kakuzu and Hidan had now entered the Land of Fire, and their purpose seemed to be the Wood Leaf's Kyuubi.
Of course, for Kakuzu, he wanted to find Kimimaro more …
