Chapter 221 Truth is a good thing
"Arrogant!" Mito Kadoyan couldn't bear it anymore and scolded.
This was the first time someone dared to speak rudely on such an occasion. Even the former Uchiha clan had to break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs when facing senior officials.
Could a mere tailed beast Jinchuriki be more troublesome than the unruly Uchiha?
The problem is, it's really more difficult.
He glanced at Mito Menyan, frowned dissatisfied, and coughed.
"So what? If the advisor is dissatisfied with me, you can complain to the Hokage's office after the meeting. As the leader of the Uzumaki clan, I will handle it properly."
He was the one who acted like a gangster, and now he is the one who wants to be reasonable.
"You!" Mito Kabuto choked for a moment, he was so shameless, just like the Fifth Generation.
"What kind of clan leader? Are you the clan leader alone?" Xiaochun expressed his dissatisfaction when he went to bed, and other junior high-level officials in the conference room did not dare to say anything.
When gods fight, it's best to watch on the sidelines and not act recklessly. After all, the Godaime remained silent, but his eyes swept over the crowd from time to time.
This feeling is really terrifying, as if they are being watched by the Supreme God, making them tremble.
"The leader of a single person?" Naruto moved his body so that he could lie down in the soft chair more comfortably, and he spoke.
"I'm not used to your tone, as if I'm sitting here like an alien. But I'm sure you're not used to it either. After all, you can tolerate an unknown tool man talking nonsense here."
"Until now, you are still putting on airs and being superior. I am also one of the higher-ups now, the leader of the Uzumaki clan. You think it is insignificant and I am just the leader of one person. Do you have to admit it if I take action and conflict with you?
”
Xiaochun didn't speak when he went to bed, and his cloudy eyes just stared at him, exuding a chill.
Naruto always kept in mind what Tsunade said, status is never obtained by reputation, but by force.
And he also knew that Tsunade had tried her best to help him get a high-level pass. Now that he didn't have Kyuubi, he had to show his true skills if he wanted to stabilize his high-level position.
The higher-ups wanted a jinchūriki with a false reputation, and squeezed him in the name of Konoha. In essence, they regarded him as a bonus of the Nine-Tails.
Compared to Kyuubi, the name Uzumaki Naruto has no value, and the senior management didn't even look at him seriously.
Releasing the name of a hollow high-level executive is like throwing out a piece of candy in exchange for the Jinchuuriki being honest and obedient. In their opinion, this deal is probably a good deal.
But no one expected that Naruto was no longer the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
All the compromises made by the top management were based on the premise that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. But now that all the preconditions have disappeared, it is impossible for the top management to give him a good look.
It was unwise for Naruto to choose to self-destruct at this moment. But if he really couldn't endure it at this moment, then Tsunade's advice would be in vain.
Who are they? There is certainly a powerful person like Danzo in the upper echelons.
However, this is a world dominated by power. The consultant disdains to serve the village out of shame, and Danzo cannot lose his mind because of a moment of anger.
In front of these old foxes, he had to show his edge in order to sit firmly in this position. Tsunade got him a high-level ticket, but she didn't say that he could only be a high-level official in name only.
If the Kyuubi was the key to Naruto's qualification to enter this conference room before, then now, it is his own power that makes his value reflected.
The power that is separated from the tailed beast is just the tip of the iceberg of all his power.
In the conference room.
Most of the unfamiliar junior executives stood up subconsciously. Only Naruto and the four senior executives sat calmly on their chairs. Tsunade's eyes were not on him, but looked through him at the group of junior executives.
p>
Today's meeting was a daily affair, and most of the senior members of the direct Hokage family did not show up.
Everyone's eyes are looking at the backbone of Konoha, the four adults.
The atmosphere was low and depressing. The eyes of every junior high-level executive looking at Naruto were full of unknown fear and apprehension. After losing the tailed beast, can you still use the power of the tailed beast?
Has it become a monster? Fusion?
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!"
At the moment of tension, several rounds of applause sounded slowly, and the sound came from the position of Hokage. Danzo and the two advisors had no intention of speaking, and if they continued to talk in a quarrel, they would lose their standing.
It's okay to quarrel with Tsunade, even if it's to quarrel with other junior high-level officials, but it doesn't matter if you quarrel with a junior or not. It doesn't matter how tense the situation is. Anyway, that kid is Tsunade's person, and Tsunade will mediate.
Yes, Tsunade will take action.
Guessing that it was almost done, she stood up directly and applauded a few times in a fake way. Women are very good at acting, and she smiled but said with a smile.
Naruto didn't look at her expression, he just stared into her eyes and saw some dissatisfaction. His heart suddenly thumped, and he thought that he should die after the meeting.
"Konoha needs the power of the new generation, and the Nine-Tails matter has been put on hold for the time being. Since one of our top leaders, Uzumaki Naruto, has the ability to stir up troubles, it is also a good thing for the village."
"I'm very pleased that Kakashi has assumed the responsibility of the ANBU captain at this age. I hope to see it."
Tsunade never strayed from the interests of the village, and tied Kakashi and Naruto together at every turn. She was talking about the village, but she never strayed from the Hokage's direct team.
She brushed off the conflict in a simple and sophisticated way, and brushed Kakashi's presence along the way. Tsunade waved her hand and ended the meeting hastily.
The people dispersed and the conference room became empty.
"Come here." Tsunade waved to Naruto, and everything was quiet.
Naruto was not as arrogant as before, and walked over obediently. He did not dare to look around, and stood there with his head bowed.
"How long have you been hiding it from me?"
"It didn't take long, it looked like a few months." Naruto looked like the old king was caught and raped by the palace, his face turned pale.
Even if Tsunade asked him about the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails and the cause and effect, he wouldn't be so nervous. The only thing he said was how long he had been hiding it from her, and that was over. It became a matter of principle.
"It hasn't been long? How many months hasn't been long?" Tsunade was sitting on a soft chair, her body was thin and plump, and her white jade-like hands were drooped on the table.
Dong Dong, she knocked on the table twice out of habit, and Naruto straightened his back instantly.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tsunade's face was gloomy and she seemed really angry. Looking at the tall young man in front of her, she had mixed emotions for a moment.
"Well, the Kyuubi disappeared suddenly. I don't know it myself." Naruto said with some embarrassment. He couldn't tell everything.
Kyuubi has indeed disappeared. As for being hidden in a fox dog, he can just pretend not to know. Even if he accidentally betrays the gangster, he can just push it to Kyuubi.
He knew that Tsunade didn't like beating around the bush, so he apologized honestly.
"I should have said it earlier, instead of delaying it until now."
Hearing this, Tsunade frowned slightly and sank into the soft chair. She was not very satisfied with Naruto's answer, but she still suppressed her temper and said.
"Don't hide anything from me. If you think you can solve it, it's okay. If you can't handle it, don't hold on."
After saying this, without waiting for Naruto to reply, Tsunade stepped on crisp high heels and left.
Suddenly, Naruto was the only one left in the huge conference room. Thinking about Tsunade's words, he raised his brows, now he was playing big and really got emotional.
Fortunately, he didn't think too much about it, he just did whatever he had to do to be shameless.
He slapped the task application on the task receiving area, coughed and said.
"I want to interrupt this task."
The person in charge of the mission management office was a little old man, wearing glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. Seeing Naruto's arrogant and domineering behavior, he was so angry that he almost fell ill.
"This is a task that will start tomorrow. It is against the rules." said the little old man.
Naruto frowned, stared at the little old man who was dressed like a Di Bai royal family, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"The rules are set by people, so they can't be changed?"
"It can't be changed."
"Huh?"
"No, I mean this rule was set by the Fifth Hokage." The little old man had obviously participated in the meeting just now, and he was obviously a little scared.
The jinchuriki in front of me is no longer an ordinary jinchuriki. He can still use his power without the tailed beast. In short, he has become an existence that cannot be looked at directly.
The powerful senior executives are not scary. What is scary are those powerful senior executives who stand at the top. They are like the four pillars of Konoha, looking down on everything.
Naruto now has half a foot in the ranks of the fourth-highest level. Why half a foot? Because his strength is not enough and his reputation is not enough. Unless he saves the whole world, there is no chance of becoming Hokage.
Fortunately, his ambition is not to be a Hokage, but to enjoy flowers and have fun.
To put it in layman's terms, his body is a tragedy as long as it is alive, it is just a symbol of justice. There are beautiful qualities imposed on him, but after all, he is not the real Naruto, and these kind qualities make him extremely disgusted.
p>
Tsunade hoped that he would face the world positively. She wanted to bring him to a bustling avenue, draw more people in, and get involved with Naruto.
The top management hopes that he will have no thoughts, be completely loyal to the village, sweep through all the major ninja villages, and become a deterrent humanoid weapon.
But what he wanted to do was to sweep through the girls from all the major ninja villages and intimidate the young women in the ninja world. From here, the ideal started to become distorted, and it was destined that it would be difficult for Naruto to come together with the ideas of the higher-ups.
Although it was just a joke, he really never thought about choosing to live a specific life. The path he took was almost beyond everyone's expectations, even Tsunade.
He has his own way of living, and if there are obstacles that he can’t overcome, then add some dark blue!
"The rules set by the Godaime do not allow for sudden changes in tasks. If you have to make adjustments, you must let her see it in person." The little old man added with a guilty conscience.
Chapter completed!
