Long Live The Hokage

Chapter 281: Brainwashing

Chapter 281: Brainwashing

It took a long time for Masahiko to recover from this.

There is still this kind of operation in the Shinobi World. Thats right, Orochimarus name isnt Orochi, though it would have been cool But why did the orphanages director give him two names but no last name? What is he? Arabian?

Uzumaki Naruto, well, this sounds better

Go on, what happened after that? Did Danzo do anything? Masahiko frowned.

Hiruzen smiled bitterly, Danzo sent someone secretly, contacted Naruto, and tried to keep him in Konoha.

Is it because of the Kyuubi? But Naruto was a three-year-old kid at that time. Can he decide whether to stay in Konoha?

At that time, Minato and Kushina were hesitating on whether they should entrust him to the Uzumakis Daimyo or to Uchiha Mikoto because they couldnt take care of Naruto personally. After all, Konoha was an environment that Naruto is familiar with, and Mikoto also is the mother of his childhood friend, Senju Masahiko.

Masahiko nodded and fell in silence for a moment.

Masahiko had already guessed this. It is estimated that Danzo has sent people to contact Naruto, and they were discovered by Kushina, and then a series of incidents occurred.

After that, Uzumaki Naruto stayed in Konoha.

Well, thats huh?

Masahiko raised his head in embarrassment as he looked at Hiruzens bored expression; he always felt like he enjoys doing this

Naruto stayed in Konoha?

Hiruzen nodded, The spy that was sent by Danzo was also a child, so he just played with Naruto normally and didnt do anything else. I also acquiesced to this. Because I felt that having Naruto here will mean that were still allies with the Uzumaki. It would be better if its maintained, and when the war is over, Minato will be able to return to the village and continue to serve as the Hokage.

Masahiko glanced at Hiruzen, Go on.

He didnt try to guess this time.

Naruto stayed in Konoha, while Minato and Kushina went to the Land of Whirlpools, but Danzo made a new move.

The child that Danzo sent kept talking about Konoha to Naruto and explaining how being a Hokage is a great thing that only a hero can achieve, but I didnt take it seriously at the time

Masahiko frowned, Talking about Konoha? Is he trying to get Konoha in Narutos mind, psychologically?

Hiruzen was surprised, How did you know? I didnt know that something like that could be done before, so I didnt think of anything. Since he didnt use Genjutsu, and he was saying good things about Konoha, I ignored it.

Masahikos mouth twitched. Danzo is a really tricky guy. Knowing that things like Genjutsu will definitely be discovered, he used words to brainwash the kid.

Then what happened?

Hiruzen sighed, Later, Danzos actions were discovered by the Senjus great genius.

Itachi? But hes

Ten years old.

Masahiko nodded, thats right.

At the time, Itachi came to me and said that Naruto was psychologically repressed. I still didnt believe it at the time. Then he told me that it was experienced when a child has been in contact with someone too much from a young age will slightly deviate from that person in body and mind. Not to mention the wonderful message of Konoha that has been instilled in him since childhood

Puff! Cough Cough Masahiko kept coughing in embarrassment.

Its over. This old mans methods were discovered by a child. What a shame!

Hiruzen smiled bitterly, I was dubious at the time. However, I still came to Nawaki and asked him to lead some of his clansmen to protect Naruto to the Land of Whirlpools.

This action was blocked by Danzo, and then I was sure that something was wrong.

Thats it. Masahiko heaved a sigh of relief. Most of Hiruzens story should be true, and he can confirm it when he sees Nawaki.

Things didnt escalate and cannot progress to the worse. If the entire Konoha village didnt agree to assist the Uzumaki, then my life has been nothing but failure Fortunately, there are people like Kagami and Hiashi, who are not like that. Masahiko thought secretly.

But

Jiraiya, is Hiruzen telling the truth? Masahiko didnt shy away and asked directly.

Jiraiya scratched his head, At that time, I really wanted to go to the Uzumaki and help Minato, but he stopped me. I dont know about other things since I went to the battlefield earlier.

Sakumos figure suddenly appeared in the room, Elder Masahiko, the Third Hokage-Sama didnt lie to you.

Masahikos heart was slightly settled since he believed more in Jiraiya and Sakumo.

No wonder Naruto wants to come to Konoha so much. Maybe there was a reason for this. I really didnt see it before

Masahiko shook his head; maybe what Danzo has done was for the better.

However, his methods were much softer than what he thought, probably because the Uzumaki are much stronger now, and provoking them, might turn against him and bring more damage to Konoha.

Hiruzen hesitated, Elder Masahiko, can you help me persuade Kushina? Because of this, shes very dissatisfied with me.

Masahiko paused, Can you blame her? You thought you could really fool me around too. Isnt your Will of Fire monologue is already psychological repression? How could you not tell?

Its estimated that you were happy to see the results at the time. But later on, when you were discovered, you had to make an emergency remedy and send the Senju to support. Did you think you could really hide that from me?

Jiraiya was taken aback, No way, old man!

Hiruzen smiled bitterly and sighed, Youre right.

Masahiko shook his head, At least youre not stubborn enough to deny, but you also know how to redeem yourself. You have to find a way to ask Kushina for forgiveness. Ill deal with you later, but Ill beat Danzo first!

Just when he was about to act, he suddenly paused and scratched his head, By the way, have you find a particularly fat white cat?

The three of them glanced at each other, and Sakumo said, How fat?

Masahiko nodded, Nearly about 30 kilograms.

Sakumos face darkened. What kind of a cat can grow like this? Elder Masahikos pets are bizarre.

As he was about to talk, an Anbu flashed in.

Hokage-Sama, there was turmoil in the Ninja Academy. The lunch of the first-year students disappeared strangely.

Lunch? Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, I see. You go first and investigate the situation. Ill be there later!

Yes!

Masahiko had an ominous premonition, Forget about what I have just said. How can such a cat exist?

Danzo is in Kumogakure, right? Ill go clean him up first!

Upon saying that, Masahikos figure disappeared in place, leaving the three with big and small eyes
