Chapter 80 Three Years
The fifty-fifth year of Konoha, spring.

With the Hidden Cloud Village sending a delegation to visit Konoha to discuss negotiations, the war that lasted for three years and five months finally came to an end.

The people spread the news, and the ninjas stationed on the front lines could finally go home.

Shiratori, who was already fourteen years old, walked leisurely into his own noodle shop - no, this was no longer a noodle shop, but the headquarters of "Homura Fan Weekly".

This magazine was founded by Shiratori with the investment of some businessmen in the family.

At first, the Sandaime Hokage disagreed, because allowing the Uchiha clan to manipulate public opinion was absolutely unacceptable.

But White Bird's visit dispelled his doubts.

Shiratori said that this magazine would only publish some strange stories and would not involve any village affairs, and would also leave the first few pages for the Hokage.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen has time, he can publish signed articles on it to preach his "Will of Fire" to all the people of Konoha; when he has no time, these pages will also publish some positive news about Sarutobi Hiruzen to establish his image among the people of Konoha, and the Anbu can supervise him at any time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was moved.

His second time becoming Hokage had already caused quite a bit of controversy, and the Hidden Cloud Village directly launched a war like "picking on the weak", without any regard for his face, which made his image in the eyes of the people directly inferior to that of the Fourth Hokage.

Moreover, Konoha had experienced the Three World Wars, the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the Kumogakure War in just a year or so...

Panic.

Even if it's for the stability of the village, he must re-establish his great image.

So the two sides hit it off immediately.

"Master Shiratori." A responsible person saw Shiratori and asked, "Should we put the news about the Kumogakure delegation on the front page of this weekly magazine?"

"No." Shiratori chuckled, "The news about the Sandaime Hokage must be put first, and... all the credit for this truce should be attributed to the Sandaime. Just say 'The Kumogakure was forced to propose a truce because they were afraid of the Sandaime's strength and prestige', just write that!"

The person in charge's eyes suddenly became weird...

When he first joined the company, he was told: News about the Third Hokage must be hyped up as much as possible, the more exaggerated and the more disgusting the better!

Even if the Sandaime went to the public toilet because he had to pee after get off work, you have to write "The Sandaime would also take time to check the construction of Konoha's public facilities in his spare time."

Over time, he seemed to understand something...

But the Sandaime never seemed to notice it, because Shiratori's "smuggled goods" in the magazine's main column of oddities caught his attention -

Some of the Uchiha clan's history, their contributions to the village, and some positive news about the Uchiha clan are interspersed in a series of fascinating little stories.

The Sandaime felt that he had discovered the truth: So this was the purpose of establishing this magazine!
He was happy to see the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village improved, so he relaxed the supervision of the magazine a lot.

Besides, maybe it was because he was getting older, but he still liked reading the articles praising and flattering him on the first few pages of the magazine, and he didn't find it corny at all...

After giving a few more instructions, Shiratori walked out of the magazine office and strolled on the street.

In fact, it wasn't really just strolling around... His route "accidentally" moved closer to the residence of the Hidden Cloud Delegation, and soon he had circled the hotel where they were staying several times.

I wonder when these professional robbers from Yunyin will go and steal some white eyes...

He had been waiting for this moment.

He will not stop Hyuga Hiashi from killing the leader of the Kumogakure delegation, but is looking forward to the subsequent "Hiashi's substitutionary death incident".

At that time, it was the first step for the Uchiha clan to rebel against the Konoha high-level officials, and it also represented... the change of offense and defense!
A faint sound of scolding came from not far away.

Shiratori raised an eyebrow. As a high-ranking member of the Konoha Police Force, he had no reason to run over to watch the fun...

No, it’s about resolving conflicts.

.........

A little boy who looked about three or four years old was pushed to the ground. He had yellow hair and three whisker-like lines on each cheek.

The mask shop owner picked up a mask and threw it at his face. "Get out of here, you little fox!"

The boy rubbed his face which was hurt by the blow, and his eyes turned red as if he was about to cry.

But he finally held back, because this kind of thing... he was used to it.

He stood up, looked at the disgusted eyes of the people around him, lowered his head and prepared to leave.

At this time, someone called him.

"Why don't you pick up the mask someone gave you?"

The boy looked back in surprise - few people would take the initiative to talk to him.

Shiratori picked up the mask, dusted it off, and handed it to the boy.

The boy took it subconsciously, looked at the sunny smile on Bai Niao's face, but didn't know what to say.

He...had never encountered such a situation before.

The mask shop owner who witnessed all this pursed his lips and dared not say a word.

He knew this boy——

Uchiha Shiratori, deputy captain of the Konoha Police Force and captain of the first team!

On the battlefield, this peerless genius of the Uchiha clan once killed eighteen Jonins from the Hidden Cloud Village in one day!
These...were all published in "Flame Fan Weekly".

But he didn't want to mess with Shiratori, but Shiratori wanted to mess with him...

"You two over there, come here." Shiratori waved at two Konoha Police Force ninjas passing by.

"Lord Shiratori." The two men trotted over and stood properly.

"Invite this guy to the police force for tea." Shiratori pointed at the mask shop owner.

The mask shop owner was confused: "Master Shiratori, I don't think I have done anything wrong?"

He just gave the hateful fox a light push!
Bai Niao looked at him, smiling: "Do you think this is a small matter?"

"Yes, yes."

Shiratori walked over, put his head close to the other person's ear, and whispered:
"But in my opinion, you attacked the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki on purpose! You tried to anger the Jinchuriki and make him lose control, causing the tailed beast to run away and endanger the village! Is this enough? If not, I will add more."

The mask shop owner was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees. He just held on to his last bit of courage and asked tremblingly, "What is Jinchūriki?"

Hearing this, Shiratori's entire face wrinkled together...

No wonder there are always idiots who think that the little boy next to him is the real demon fox. It turns out they don’t know the concept of jinchūriki at all!
They all say that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't protect Konoha well enough...

In his opinion, this is too good to be true! Everyone is almost illiterate.

Shiratori waved his hand, signaling the ninjas from the police force to take the mask shop owner away - they wouldn't really do anything to him, just scare him at most.

He took the boy's hand and walked away gradually amid the fearful and evasive gazes of the crowd.

"Big brother, where are we going?"

"Eat, I hear your stomach growling."

"Oh... who are you, big brother?"

"Uchiha Shiratori."

"My name is Naruto! Uzumaki Naruto!"
