Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Bang!

The door to the Hokage's office was violently pushed open.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't need to look up to know who it was. He sighed and looked at his aggressive old friend.

"Danzo, what are you doing now?"

Shimura Danzo cut to the chase without mincing words: "Hiruzen, you've seen the battle report from the Iwagakure battlefield, haven't you? Tell me, what do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette, his mood unusually relaxed, and said, "The situation has tilted in our favor. I think the war in Iwagakure will be over soon."

The fighting has ceased on the Sunagakure side.

Large-scale warfare has ceased in both the Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Mist Village battlefields, with only small-scale raids currently taking place.

On the battlefield where the situation was originally the most difficult, although Konoha also suffered heavy losses this time, in terms of the overall situation of the Ninja World War, it can be considered a great victory for Konoha.

The most critical moment for Konoha has finally passed.

"You know that's not what I'm asking!"

Shimura Danzo said irritably, "It's Uchiha Aoya! What do you think of him?"

He had already read the battle reports from the front lines.

This twelve-year-old Uchiha brat is simply defying the heavens!

He easily killed a Jonin, casually unleashed a wide-range Fire Release technique, used the power of the heavens to kill hundreds of Iwa ninja, and even captured Onoki's son, Kyoto!

This is not the strength a normal twelve-year-old ninja should have.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

Unless he activated the Kaleidoscope, that kid couldn't possibly have such a terrifying increase in strength!

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes: "Danzo, what do you want to do? Get Aoya Uchiha into your Root organization?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? How is that possible!" Danzo sneered.

If the ninja were a commoner or an orphan, he might be able to recruit them into his Root organization.

He might even recruit some Uchiha who are biased towards the village.

But Uchiha Aoya...

A pure and innocent future Uchiha hawk seed!

Given his reputation, Shimura Danzo was, to the Uchiha hawks, not only infamous but also universally hated.

The possibility of Uchiha Aoya defecting is greater than the possibility of him joining Root!

"If we let him continue to grow, he will eventually become a threat to the village. We must take precautions as soon as possible!" Shimura Danzo revealed his true intentions.

"I knew it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, unsurprised.

"Leave it to me, Hiruzen!"

"The war isn't over yet, and I guarantee I can do it completely undetected!"

Shimura Danzo said with full confidence.

If we can eliminate Uchiha Aoya, we will not only remove a potential future threat, but we might also be able to obtain his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"You know the war isn't over yet!" Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped. "The situation in the village has only just started to improve a little, and you're already causing trouble again!"

"Danzo, I'm warning you, don't act rashly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"you!"

Danzo Shimura was furious: "Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!" Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted without any politeness.

That's what they say again!

Danzo's breath hitched, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when the Second Hokage had to choose one person to stay behind and cover the retreat. If he had spoken first, he might be the Hokage now!

With a cold snort, and without arguing further, Shimura Danzo turned and slammed the door shut as he left.

Bang!

……

Return to your root organization base.

"Ryoma!"

Suppressing his anger, Danzo summoned his subordinates.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Ryoma Aburame quickly stepped forward: "Are you going to attack Uchiha Aoya? Leave it to me. Is it poisoning or assassination?"

"Who told you to kill him!"

Danzo said irritably.

If we act against Uchiha Aoya now, and things come to light, Hiruzen Sarutobi might really disregard all sentimentality.

Konoha suffered heavy losses in this Fourth Shinobi World War. Once the war ends, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, will most likely have to step down.

But this doesn't mean that Sarutobi is willing to take the blame again before stepping down.

The White Fang of Konoha died mysteriously a few years ago. If Uchiha Aoya, a young ninja who has just made great contributions, were to die as well, even without any evidence that he was related to the Hokage, the ninjas in the village would still have a negative opinion of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Ryoma, remember this," Danzo Shimura sneered, "There's not only one way to kill, nor is it always necessary to do it yourself."

Poisoning and assassination can kill people.

Praise can be deadly!

"Go help Uchiha Aoya and spread his achievements and fame..." Shimura Danzo instructed.

The Mangekyou Sharingan has the drawback of causing blindness, which the Second Hokage had researched.

As long as Uchiha Aoya is elevated to a high position, his Mangekyou Sharingan power will be depleted time and time again in subsequent battles until he goes blind!

What threat could a blind man pose then?

"Lord Danzo is truly brilliant!"

Ryoma Aburame was completely convinced.

"By the way, Lord Danzo, our people have also discovered something else..."

Ryoma Aburame then mentioned that Obito Uchiha had abandoned the mission to save his teammates: "However, Minato Namikaze will likely try to cover this up."

"Spread the word as well!" Danzo said without hesitation.

The two most popular candidates for Hokage in Konoha right now are Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru.

In terms of strength, military achievements, and popularity, the two are roughly equal.

He values ​​Orochimaru more, while Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to be gradually leaning towards his grand-disciple Minato Namikaze.

This is perfect opportunity to damage Minato Namikaze's reputation!

"Have someone spread rumors that Minato Namikaze's disciple, Obito Uchiha, abandoned his mission during the war and is unworthy of being a ninja!"

……

After only two days of rest following a major battle, reinforcements from the Sunagakure battlefield arrived.

"Lord Aoya, Lord Shikaku requests that you and the other Jonin come to a meeting."

The messenger ninja's face was full of admiration and respect.

I'm being called an adult now...

Qingye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Just three months ago, I killed a special Jonin in a direct battle, and since then I've only just started to gain some status.

I still need to use cheat codes!

Which powerful being in the multiverse doesn't use cheat codes? What's wrong with using one yourself?

As I followed them to the commander's tent, I was met with surprised, admiring, and respectful glances. People would point at me from time to time and whisper among themselves, explaining something to each other.

Halfway there, Qingye suddenly saw a familiar zombie face.

"Chieftain, you've come too."

Opposite him was a man with stiff facial features, exuding a low-pressure aura, and who clearly never smiled.

Beside him was a young boy with tear troughs, who was curiously looking at Qingye.

It was Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, father and son.

"The clan leader even brought Itachi along?"

Aoya was somewhat speechless: "Itachi is only four years old, isn't he? The war isn't over yet; isn't it inappropriate to send a child to the battlefield?"
