In Konoha Village, Hatake Kakashi was elected as the Fifth Hokage.
The first thing he did after taking office was to carry out a major overhaul of the Anbu department left by Sandaime Hokage. All the members of the Anbu department who were not clean were removed, especially those who were related to Root.
The tragedy that happened to the Fourth Hokage made Kakashi realize that the Root's evil is not over yet. The Fourth Hokage's direct Anbu has always been reliable, and the leak of information can only be related to the Root members.
Therefore, even if it's too late, he has to get rid of this cancer!
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi, heard about the tragedy that happened in the village and rushed back to the village day and night.
The previous attack on the Chunin Exam venue.
6432 civilians were sacrificed, including 5816 people from the Land of Fire!
1241 ninjas were sacrificed, including 14 Konoha Jonins!
More than ten thousand people were injured to varying degrees, and more than a thousand people were seriously injured and disabled!
This is called the worst attack in history since the establishment of the One Village system!
And it happened in a peaceful era, Konoha, as the organizer of the Chunin Exam, naturally became the center of public opinion.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato, left his post during the attack and became the target of criticism!
Tens of thousands of families of the victims came to Konoha to ask for an explanation.
On the one hand, Konoha organized personnel to comfort them, but they didn't dare to announce that the Minato couple was killed.
Because once this matter is spread out, other ninja villages will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Konoha, which is in a precarious situation, can't afford any more blows!
But hiding it for a long time is not a solution …
For this reason, the Fifth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, organized the village's elite ninjas and consultants to hold an emergency meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures!
In Konoha's secret room, Hatake Kakashi was wearing a Hokage costume, sitting in the south, the Third Hokage Sarutobi was sitting in the north, and beside him was the advisor Mitokado Utatane.
Kakashi said: "After investigation and analysis, the previous attack on the Chunin Exam venue was a smokescreen created by the enemy. The enemy's real goal was the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina. At the same time, the Fourth Hokage couple was killed, and the Kyuubi was taken away, this is the best evidence!"
It wasn't only the Fourth Hokage and his wife who were killed, but also the Third Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, who was also Asuma's mother.
After thinking for a while, Sarutobi said: "Do you have any clues about the previous six Edo Tensei?"
Kakashi said: "According to Shadow Uchiha Takeshi who assisted us in repelling the enemy, the caster of Edo Tensei is Medicine Master Bag!"
"Medicine Master's Pocket? This name … somehow feels a little familiar. "Many people present suggested.
Hiruzen sighed, "He was selected by Danzo from the orphanage as a spy. Danzo planned to use him and kill him, but Orochimaru saved his life …"
Sarutobi Asuma said, "Kabuto works for Orochimaru, and Orochimaru works for the Shadow! This matter most likely had something to do with the Shadows! He had a motive too! Didn't he always have an idea about the Bijuu, from the Hachibi, to the Nanabi, and now the Kyuubi, it's not surprising that he has an idea about the Kyuubi. We can't believe his nonsense just because of what he did on the surface! "
Asuma's suspicion was also the suspicion of many people present, even Sarutobi fell into deep thought.
"I don't agree with this."
"Kakashi!"
"The situation is urgent, we can't just stand on the opposite side of the Dark Village, Asuma, although your guess is somewhat reasonable, there is no evidence to support your point of view, we don't have the spare energy to collect the so-called evidence, we can only believe in the Shadows …"
"Moreover, the problem we have to discuss now is how to solve the biggest crisis at hand, when to announce the death of the Fourth Hokage, and … After that, how to suppress the outbreak of war! Everyone, please voice your opinions. "
After a while of silence.
Someone suggested: "It's better to keep it hidden, as long as we have the intention, it won't be difficult!"
"What about the people? They still think that Konoha is shielding the Fourth Hokage, they even wrote a letter to the Daimyo Government to stop providing economic support to Konoha. There are many people in high positions among the dead, and the Daimyo Government has to fully consider their opinions, in any case, we have to give them an explanation … "
Bang! Someone slammed the table with his fist: "How can the Fourth Hokage be so stupid! His wife gave birth to a child, let her give birth, why did he have to leave his post! You're dead, yet you're leaving such a mess to us! "
Hatake Kakashi's brows wrinkled slightly, he was obviously unhappy, after all, Minato was his sensei, he sacrificed his youth and life for Konoha, but in the end …
Kakashi said: "Regardless of the merits and demerits of his life, we don't have to talk about the Fourth Hokage anymore, what we have to do is to preserve the dignity of the Fourth Hokage as much as possible and give an explanation to the people."
Someone suggested: "Then explain to the people that the Fourth Hokage didn't leave his post, but he found the enemy and unfortunately died in the process of fighting with them!"
Kakashi thought about it and said: "This is the only thing we can do about the Fourth Hokage, as for what the people think, it's difficult for us to control. In short, pay the compensation and do a good job of appeasing the people, the biggest problem is that we lost the Kyuubi!"
"We can hide the fact that we lost the Kyuubi!"
"But Uzumaki Kushina, after all, died, after the news of the Fourth Hokage's death was announced, Kushina's whereabouts will be a lot of attention, we can't hide it!"
"Then we will announce to the public that the Kyuubi has a new Jinchuriki!"
"The identity of the new Jinchuriki must be open and transparent … Who will be the scapegoat? You should know what a Jinchuriki means, not to mention Kushina, even Mito -sama was criticized and called the incarnation of bad luck! "Kakashi looked at the person who spoke, the person avoided his eyes.
At this time, the consultant Mito Homura said: "Then let the Fourth Hokage's son be the scapegoat!"
"Naruto!?"
"As the saying goes, the father's debt must be paid by the son! The Yondaime couple made a big mistake, let his son be the scapegoat of the Jinchuriki's criticism, it's not too much! "
Koharu said: "Moreover, there is one thing that Minato thought he was hiding from us … but he didn't know that we already know about it. He has close contact with the Shadow, when Uzumaki Naruto was born, Uchiha Takeshi even injected the Kyuubi Chakra of unknown origin into the child's body."
"In a sense, saying that Uzumaki Naruto is a Jinchuriki is not a lie to the people, Kakashi, everything else is up to you, only on this matter, you listen to the opinions of us advisors!"
Hearing this, Kakashi looked at the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage lowered his hat, his face was deeply buried in the shadow, which was equivalent to acquiescing.
"…" After a long silence, Kakashi sighed: "I understand … Then announce to the public that Uzumaki Naruto is the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki."
After the meeting, Kakashi went to his new residence and looked at the night sky with a tired look: "I'm sorry, Sensei, I'm sorry, Naruto, I finally understand that the Hokage has no choice, but in this case, I can finally clean up this mess …"
Kakashi didn't know at this moment … He just became the Hokage, and the biggest catastrophe in the history of Konoha is coming!
Boom!!!
Late at night … A roar woke him up from his sleep!
"What's going on!!"
"Fifth Hokage, Kumo launched an all-out attack on us!!"
