Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Hokage Xia Zuo said, "The identity I want to impersonate is that of the hidden force of the Senju clan. It is a countermeasure by the Second Hokage against the Third Hokage. My mission is to prevent Konoha from being destroyed by the Third Hokage."

Interstellar Xia Zuo nodded: "That's a great idea."

Death God Shaza questioned, "If the Second Hokage made such an arrangement, why didn't he intervene in the events leading up to the suicide of Konoha's White Fang, the departure of the Legendary Sannin, and the Nine-Tails' Night?"

Hokage Natsusa pondered for a moment before replying, "First of all, the Senju who took on this responsibility before wasn't me, but a more senior and meritorious ninja. I don't know how you made that judgment, senior."

"Secondly, whether it's Konoha's White Fang or the Legendary Sannin, in my opinion, they were only targeting individual ninjas and were not enough to completely negate the Third Hokage. I am Konoha's last line of defense, and I will not step forward to stop them unless it is the most critical and important moment."

"Finally, finally, the Nine-Tails attack incident..."

Naruto Xia Zuo was stumped. He couldn't think of a way to explain why he or his virtual predecessor didn't stand up when the survival of Konoha Village was at stake.

The politically savvy Xingji Shazo said, "Each person has their own responsibility. Your responsibility and that of your predecessors are not to deal with such a large-scale attack; that is the Fourth Hokage's duty."

"The Hokage at the time, Minato Namikaze, completed his mission very well, so it's perfectly fine that your senior didn't step forward."

Hokage Xia Zuo's eyes lit up: "That's right. The responsibility the Second Hokage entrusted to me was not war, but to prevent internal strife in the village and extreme situations like the Hokage defecting."

"The extermination of the Uchiha clan was undoubtedly a large-scale internal conflict in Konoha, so I had to stand up and stop the Uchiha's demise and prevent the collapse of Konoha."

The Marvel veteran cop Xia Zuo, the Interstellar Confederation official Xia Zuo, and the Immortal Cultivator Demon Xia Zuo exchanged glances and nodded in approval of the Naruto Xia Zuo character design.

Then, the Xia Zuos joined in, brainstorming on every detail and offering their own analyses and suggestions.

Finally, Hokage Natsume said with satisfaction, "Thank you everyone, I feel there are no more problems."

Interstellar Xia Zuo laughed and said, "Actually, most of what we're thinking about today is destined to be useless."

Hokage Natsusa laughed and said, "Yes, the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai is incredibly powerful. The Senju clan's bloodline is undisputed as the legitimate lineage in Konoha."

Tenma Xiazu nodded and said, "Stopping the Uchiha clan massacre is the wish of the vast majority of Konoha ninjas. As long as you can make a stunning appearance in front of the Konoha ninjas, there won't be any problems."

Xingji Xiazuo added, "The only people who oppose you are the Third Hokage, Itachi Uchiha, Danzo Shimura, Obito Uchiha, and at most, the Root ninjas."

"So you can't let them control you. You have to let enough Konoha ninja see you and see the tragic state of the Uchiha clan."

"The idea of ​​setting fire that you mentioned before is a good one. Let's set a big fire and let the towering flames wake up Konoha Village."

The demon Xia Zuo also offered a supplementary suggestion: "It can't just be fire; it also needs to make a huge noise. I know a very interesting spell that I named Empty Fist. Go back and look for it in your memory."

Death God Xia Zuo suddenly spoke up: "Uchiha Shisui, he will also be used."

Hokage Xia Zuo was puzzled: "It's Konoha year 55 now. I've had contact with Uchiha Shisui; he's been thoroughly brainwashed. How can we use him?"

The Grim Reaper, Shaza, replied, "We don't need Uchiha Shisui's help. We just need to bring him alive to the scene after his eyes have been gouged out, so that all the Konoha ninjas can see his horrible, empty eyes. That will be enough."

Tenmo no Xiazu laughed and said, "That makes sense. Hearing that Shisui was in a terrible state and seeing Shisui's tragic state with one's own eyes have completely different impacts on the Konoha ninjas."

"Seeing Uchiha Shisui's eyes gouged out, which Konoha ninja wouldn't think of Shimura Danzo's sneak attack? Who wouldn't be terrified?"

"Under such fear, which Konoha ninja could feel at ease letting Shimura Danzo hold power? Aren't they worried about being ambushed?"

Xingji Xiazuo agreed, "I think the Third Hokage himself will change his attitude after seeing Shisui in person."

Death God Shazo asked in surprise, "Really?"

Xingji Xiazuo affirmed, "Don't let the plot limit your thinking. Think about Orochimaru. The Third Hokage must have known about his human experiments, since he was the one who approved the funding."

"The Third Hokage had always tacitly accepted it, until, under Danzo Shimura's guidance, he witnessed Orochimaru dissecting a Konoha ninja with a knife, and only then did he lose his temper and expel him."

Hokage Natsusa smiled longingly: "Hehe, what everyone said makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'll be able to see both S-rank rogue ninja Shimura Danzo and S-rank rogue ninja Uchiha Itachi appear at the same time."

Shimura Danzo truly lived up to his reputation as the "Kage of the Pot," managing to make him suffer a terrible fate. All the Xia Zuo were very satisfied and burst into laughter.

After everyone finished laughing, Hokage Natsume asked again, "What evidence do you all think I need to prepare if my identity is confirmed?"

Xingji Xiazuo immediately stopped him, saying, "Absolutely not! The Wood Release Kekkei Genkai is enough. Don't do anything else."

"The lies you tell are about human nature, and you don't need to consider legal evidence, so don't be too explicit; hints are enough."

"The Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura, and the Konoha ninjas can guess and fill in the blanks themselves; that's enough to convince them."

"Based on my years of experience in political struggles, as long as you don't explicitly state your identity, no one can expose you, including Tobirama Senju, who was resurrected through Edo Tensei."

"If he denies your identity, the Konoha ninja will interpret it as 'the Second Hokage wants to destroy the Uchiha,' which would also shake the foundation of Konoha."

"Conversely, if you speak too plainly, you're just creating an easy target for others to attack."

"The hardest thing in the world is to prove yourself, to prove that you are yourself, to prove that you have not broken the law. These are impossible to do."

After pondering for a long time, Hokage Xia Zuo said with shining eyes, "I understand. When working, make a big deal out of it, and when it's done, go back to being low-key. Never get involved with power."

Xingji Xiazuo's eyes narrowed into slits: "That's right! Once Hiruzen Sarutobi is gone, the people of Konoha will be used to your presence, and no one will suspect you anymore."

Hokage Natsuza chuckled, "The Fifth Hokage won't be in office for many more years. He'll be crippled in the Fourth Shinobi World War, and then..."

"I can do whatever I want!"
