Naruto, my uncle is going to be Hokage!

Chapter 20: Rumors? Are we going to let the White Fang tragedy happen again?
Want to go take a look at the village?
Hearing Kakashi's words, Namikaze Mirai's expression became serious.

What happened in the village?

He has been staying at home these days and has not gone out.

He turned his head and looked at the Konoha Village outside the courtyard.

The world in my field of vision changes, as if countless twisted lines connect the entire world together.

Among these lines, one can see a large number of individuals of various shapes radiating outwards.

Biomagnetic field.

A perception ability unique to Namikaze Mirai.

When the Roots surrounded him before, he was able to detect the enemy in advance thanks to his ability to sense the biomagnetic field.

"There are many strange biological magnetic fields nearby..."

Namikaze Mirai's eyes became more and more solemn.

It seems necessary to find out what exactly happened.

……

Konoha streets.

The villagers gathered at the entrance of the alley were talking in a flurry, their faces full of disgust.

"That demon fox, why doesn't he just die!"

"That's right! He was the one who killed the Yondaime and his wife!"

"With so many villagers, the Third Hokage actually tolerated this kind of demon fox to stay in Konoha!"

"If I were that demon fox, I would have committed suicide out of shame to avoid being looked down upon!"

……

Dirty and abusive words kept coming out, as if trying to vent all the disgust in his heart.

The greatest evil of human nature is clearly visible at this moment.

But they didn't notice that a figure was slowly walking past them.

The fruit vendor picked out the rotten fruits in the shop and threw them into the trash can with disgust on his face.

"It's all because of that demon fox that so many of my fruits have rotted recently. It's so unlucky!"

"That's right, when will that demon fox die?"

The same scene happened almost all over the street.

Every few steps you take, you can hear all kinds of curses against the fox demon.

Sarcastic!

Namikaze Mirai walked by without saying a word.

He used the transformation technique to change into a different appearance, and seemed to be just an unrelated passerby.

But those hands couldn't help but clench.

He finally understood what was wrong with Naruto.

I raised my head and looked at the village in front of me.

The midday sun was warm and comfortable, but he felt a bone-chilling chill.

Countless twisted malice, like black mist, rose up from the sky above the village with bared fangs and claws, and gathered into a hideous smiling face.

Swish!
Kakashi jumped down from a nearby tree.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard a chilling voice.

"When did it start?"

Kakashi's expression froze slightly.

He immediately restrained his expression.

Based on his understanding of Namikaze's future, he knew that he was really angry this time.

"It was probably the day before yesterday. At that time, it was just a small-scale rumor. Since yesterday, it has become more and more serious. As of today, almost the entire village..."

Kakashi didn't continue.

Although there have always been rumors about Naruto being a demon fox, they have never evolved as drastically as they have today!

This scene brought back memories buried deep in his memory.

That past that I don't want to be touched.

Namikaze Mirai's eyes gradually narrowed.

If there was no one behind this kind of widespread rumor, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

This similar scene reminded him of an event that happened a long time ago.

Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi's father, Konoha White Fang.

That was a ninja that even the Sannin had to respect.

However, after failing a mission, he was shunned by almost the entire village.

Faced with such pressure, Hatake Saku's faith collapsed, and he ended his life with the White Fang dagger that had killed countless enemies.

The situation that time was very similar to this time.

It was as if there was an invisible hand behind the scenes, fanning the flames and secretly guiding the direction of public opinion. Namikaze Mirai was well aware of the power of such public opinion.

As a corporate slave in his previous life, he has seen many cases of people committing suicide due to cyber violence.

This kind of bullying from the entire village is even more terrifying than cyber violence!
On the way back, Namikaze Mirai's eyes were cold.

Those who have the ability to guide the villagers' public opinion and profit from this matter...

There seems to be only one.

"Demon Fox! Go to hell!"

A sudden curse interrupted his thoughts.

Looking over, he saw four or five kids holding rocks and smashing them against the window of Naruto's room.

Clap!

The window glass was shattered into pieces.

The stone flew into the room, making the objects inside clank loudly.

"Where did this kid come from!"

Kakashi shouted and rushed forward.

"Run!"

The children who were throwing stones a second ago were so scared that they immediately dropped the stones in their hands and scattered like birds and beasts.

Namikaze Mirai did not choose to get entangled with those little brats and quickly rushed up to the second floor to Naruto's room.

When I pushed open the door, I saw that the room was already a mess with stones thrown around, and cold wind poured in from the broken windows.

Naruto curled up in the corner of the bed, covering himself with the quilt, leaving only his golden hair exposed.

Namikaze Mirai reached out her hand.

As soon as her fingertips touched Naruto's hair, the latter shuddered and curled deeper into the quilt.

"Don't hit me, I'm not a demon fox!"

Namikaze Mirai's fingers stopped in mid-air, and her nose felt slightly sore.

Then, he gently covered it and stroked Naruto's golden hair.

"Naruto, it's me."

"uncle."

Naruto poked his head out from under the covers, his eyes red and swollen, obviously he had been crying.

"Am I really a fox demon?"

He raised his head, his pure blue eyes filled with desire and grievance.

"Why does everyone call me a fox demon? What did I do wrong?"

Namikaze Mirai gently ruffled his blond hair.

"Silly nephew, you are certainly not a demon fox."

"Uncle will prove it to you."

……

Almost at the same time, in a hidden alley.

Two Root members knelt on one knee and reported to the figure in the shadows.

"Danzo-sama, everything has been done as you ordered."

The face in the shadow slowly raised itself up, a sinister smile appearing, making the scarred left face look even more hideous.

"well done."

Using public opinion to attack Naruto was exactly the best way he could think of for revenge.

Namikaze is very powerful, and if he uses force, the result will most likely be the same as last time.

Public opinion is different.

As long as you find the weak spot, it becomes very easy to deal with a person.

And Naruto is the weak point of Namikaze's future.

Creating a storm of public opinion is already a piece of cake for Danzo and the Root.

That afternoon many years ago, he used the same method to force Hatake Sakumo to death.

Now, it's just a replay.

The smile on Danzo's ugly face became more sinister.

Now, just wait for the results.

Being at the center of the storm of public opinion, what will Bofeng do in the future?

"Sir, something's happening!"

The sudden report interrupted his thoughts.

"Why, is Namikaze Mirai making any moves?"

"No, it's Uchiha."
