The Dreamer of the Naruto World

The truth is, it is not easy to be a fool.

Sarutobi Hiruzen once commented that Uchiha Itachi wanted to think like a Hokage at a young age.

As the person involved, Uchiha Itachi really believed Sarutobi Hiruzen's deception, thinking that he had the thinking of a Hokage, and tried to look at the problem from the perspective of a Hokage. The result was that the more he thought, the more crooked he became, and the more he thought, the more he looked like a mental patient. It was not until he communicated with Shokuhou Misaki that Uchiha Itachi realized that he had no thinking of a Hokage at all, and that he was essentially a little kid who looked mature!

In comparison, Shokuhou Misaki was the one who truly had the thinking of a Hokage at a young age.

Facing the problems of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Itachi always felt that as long as he killed all the Uchiha clan, the problem would be solved. In contrast, Shokuhou Misaki pointed out that killing all the Uchiha clan would not only fail to solve the problem, but would bring even bigger problems. In the power struggle, unscrupulous killing would only cause the collapse of the power structure, and then lead to the destruction of the entire system!

In the face of infinite dreams, I only felt that this idea had a certain temptation. But Shokuhou Misaki saw at a glance that the so-called infinite moon reading did not create a beautiful world, but just transferred people from one reality to another. This kind of escape will not solve the problem, but will only make the tragedy of reality repeat itself!

Some things are unknown until you compare them, and you will be shocked when you compare them. With Shokuhou Misaki as a comparison, Uchiha Itachi knew how far he was from the level of Naruto. His seemingly mature and ruthless thinking and decision-making were so childish and ridiculous in front of the real Naruto, and even seemed so extremely dangerous.

Uchiha Itachi was more and more fortunate that he met Shokuhou Misaki, and Shokuhou Misaki was willing to tell him the dangers of the means of extermination. If it weren't for Shokuhou Misaki, Uchiha Itachi felt that he might have killed all the Uchiha clan and become the culprit of the destruction of Konoha Village.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi was increasingly disappointed with the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he understood the root cause of the series of problems Konoha had faced recently. The root cause was not the Uchiha clan at all, but the Konoha high-level officials headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was these old men who occupied power at such an old age that caused problems in the power structure within Konoha.

The people below wanted to move up but couldn't, and the people above didn't want to step down and oppressed the people below, which led to the intensification of the power struggle within Konoha. The Uchiha clan was just the primary problem exposed after the intensification of this internal struggle.

Even if he killed the Uchiha clan, the root cause of the problem would still be there, and the power struggle within Konoha would not stop, because there were countless people with ambitions within Konoha. There are too many ninjas like Uzumaki Naruto who have regarded Naruto as the goal and meaning of life since they entered school. The dream of being called Hokage is essentially no different from the ambition of overcoming the powerful.

There is not only one "Uzumaki Naruto" who wants to become Hokage in Konoha, and these "Uzumaki Naruto" will certainly be twisted into crazy monsters by their inner ambitions without the halo and background of the protagonist. Just like Mutian Noguchi in the past, or Katsumura Yota now.

If they know that they don't even have the opportunity to go further, they will not hesitate to bet their lives even if they know that the end of pursuing power is the extermination of the Uchiha clan. The internal fighting and the continuous accumulation of contradictions will inevitably turn Konoha into a powder keg. Until the moment when the Konoha high-level can no longer suppress it, Konoha will explode.

So from this point, it can be seen that Orochimaru still has feelings for Konoha. Because if it weren't for his plan to destroy Konoha, killing the Third Hokage and giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a decent way to exit, Konoha would have certainly perished under Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi was just like Orochimaru who launched the plan to destroy Konoha. After realizing the root of the problem, he was also ready to kill the root of all Konoha's current problems directly, just like himself in the original work.

He was ready to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen directly!

Then Uchiha Itachi was ready to bear the sin of killing the Hokage, and go undercover under the Masked Man as a Konoha rebel ninja, and then destroy the opponent's infinite dream plan.

Uchiha Itachi's thoughts naturally could not be hidden from Shokuhou Misaki, who was a dream walker. However, considering Uchiha Itachi's always abnormal brain circuits, Shokuhou Misaki was not sure that she had grasped the other party's thinking mode.

So Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment, and then

Said to Shokuhou Misaki:

"Shokuhou-san, will you become Hokage?"

Shokuhou Misaki pondered:

"According to my plan, I should become Hokage around 17 years old."

Itachi was surprised and puzzled to hear that Shokuhou Misaki had even planned the time for her to become Hokage:

"Shokuhou-san, you are only 12 years old this year. Becoming Hokage at 17 means that you need five years to prepare. Is this time too long? I think with your wisdom, three years is enough!"

"Three years?" Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Shokuhou Misaki was speechless:

"Itachi-san, your ignorance of power once again shocked me. Do you think that only If you wear the hat of Hokage, get the commission from the Daimyo and the votes of the Jonin class, you will be the Hokage? Remember, the source of power is violence! If I don't have the strength of the Kage, no matter how smart I am, I can't sit firmly on the throne of Hokage. "

"So I need a certain amount of time to practice and increase my strength, and according to the normal growth rate, I can't have the strength of the Kage after I am 16 years old. Don't think that everyone is like you, Uchiha Itachi, who can defeat Orochimaru at the age of 12 and become a Kage-level strongman!"

While saying this, Shokuhou Misaki was still thinking in her heart:

Of course, this is just the growth rate I planned to maintain the character of 'Shokuhou Misaki' in Konoha. In fact, when my ability is promoted to Sequence 4, I will have the strength of the Kage. After being promoted to Sequence 3, I can completely keep the character of 'Shokuhou Misaki' in Konoha, and then use the new identity to seek power from other forces.

"Besides, even if you have the strength, are you the Hokage? In addition to strength and title, the Hokage also needs a base. What is a base? It is the cornerstone of the Hokage's power, and it is the people who can work for you. Even the Third Hokage needs to arrange his son to be the head of the Anbu, so as to ensure that he has the actual power in his hands."

"If there is no base. Even if your strength is comparable to that of the First Hokage, you will not have the actual power of the Hokage. Because your subordinates will only obey you in name only, and no one will listen to your orders once they leave the Hokage Building. The people below will only send a bunch of seemingly Important but meaningless documents are handed to you, and you continue to waste time on these documents. "

"So before becoming Hokage, I must establish my own base. I can't just let myself become Hokage, I also have to let people who are close to me enter the power center and make them the cornerstone of my power. Only in this way, I, the Hokage, can be a real Hokage, not a mascot called Hokage. "

"So, Itachi-san, do you still think that 5 years is a long time now?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head when he heard this, and turned to be secretly surprised by Shokuhou Misaki's understanding of power again.

He didn't ask Shokuhou Misaki why she wanted to become Hokage, because this question was too stupid. After all, Shokuhou Misaki is now under surveillance by the Anbu, and she has been forced to squeeze onto the power table by Sarutobi Hiruzen's fear. And since she is on the table, there is no possibility of getting off. Either win everything or lose everything.

So for Shokuhou Misaki, in addition to becoming a rebel ninja, she has only one way to become Hokage.

After figuring out all this, Uchiha Itachi was ready to remove the illusion and say goodbye to Shokuhou Misaki. But before removing it, Shokuhou Misaki said:

"Itachi, since I answered so many of your questions, can you do me a little favor?"

"What favor?"

"During the Chunin Exam, please protect my safety."

Hearing this request, Uchiha Itachi once again thought of the Anbu ninjas who were monitoring Shokuhou Misaki. Thinking about Sarutobi Hiruzen's madness of sacrificing the future of Konoha for personal power, he nodded and said:

"Okay."

"In that case, thank you very much."

After that, Uchiha Itachi removed the illusion. After the two left the illusion space, they were both in a trance. But considering the Anbu monitoring around them, neither of them showed it. In the eyes of these Anbu ninjas, Shokuhou Misaki just met Uchiha Itachi on the side of the road. After the two met, they nodded and left by the wayside.

Obviously, these Anbu ninjas would not have thought that Uchiha Itachi's illusion could even control the speed of mental time, making the instant of reality very slow in the illusion world. These Anbu ninjas would not have thought that after experiencing this illusion, Shokuhou Misaki's mental power could actually keep her calm and her face normal.

Even Uchiha Itachi was surprised by Shokuhou Misaki's mental power after passing by, and thought to himself:

It's Senior Kakashi

's teaching? Shokuhou's attainments in illusion are almost comparable to those of a jonin who specializes in illusion! It seems that I not only underestimated Shokuhou's wisdom, but also underestimated her strength! She does have the possibility of becoming a Kage-level strongman within 4 years.

At the same time when Shokuhou Misaki and Uchiha Itachi met, in another part of Konoha, the exhausted Katsumura Yota also met someone. He was a teacher in a class of ninja schools, and later joined the Root because of his outstanding performance.

No one thought that this once funny little man actually relied on his strong mental power to survive the inhumane human experiments of the Root. At this time, he not only has the strength of a special jonin, but also has become a capable general under Danzo. And the purpose of his coming to Katsumura Yota is to represent Danzo and his Root and officially step into this chess game!

As the dark root of Konoha, even if Danzo is incompetent, he has noticed the undercurrents in Konoha now. The Uchiha clan's second ninja village plan, the secret contact between the Akatsuki organization and the Uchiha clan, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's fear of Shokuhou Misaki. All of this made Danzo feel an unprecedented crisis. So in a critical situation, Danzo sent Mutanoguchi.

Just like Nagato and Obito, Danzo also felt that Shokuhou Misaki, who was not strong but had a good brain, was a very worthwhile military advisor. If she could be recruited into the Root, Danzo's Root would definitely be more powerful. No matter what conspiracy Sarutobi Hiruzen came up with in the future, Danzo felt that he didn't have to worry!

However, Danzo also knew that his reputation in Konoha was not very good, and the Root was no different from non-existence in the hearts of most Konoha ninjas. So in order to win over Shokuhou Misaki, Danzo decided to start with Shokuhou Misaki's friend Katsumura Yota. In Danzo's view, as long as Katsumura Yota joined the Root, Shokuhou Misaki would inevitably not escape from his palm.

"So, Katsumura-san, face the reality!"

In the cold night, under the dim light, Mutanoguchi with a narrow face bewitched:

"The bright world of Konoha is destined to belong to those with background and talent! The only way for civilian ninjas like you and me to stand out is to plunge into the darkness. Danzo-sama is a great ninja, and he has a lot of ways to improve his strength. Although these methods are bloody and cruel, they are the only hope for us civilian ninjas to become stronger!"

"I think you have also experienced it! The kind of feeling that you can't become stronger even if you try your best. Feeling of despair. And the frustration of working hard for ten months but not being able to match others' three days of practice! This is the reality of the ninja world, it is unfair! Ninjas from big families like Senju and Uchiha, they can practice more chakra than you, how can you be their opponent? "

"Also, you don't think Kakashi is your hope for a comeback, do you? Don't be silly! Kakashi can't be your teacher forever, he will take new students next year. Even the three of you are just experimental subjects for Kakashi to exercise his guidance ability. "

"Now Mu Everyone in Konoha knows that Kakashi's future student is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. You are just a lucky guy who is used as a tool for him to practice! You are just a tool, do you really think Kakashi will take you seriously? I tell you, even if Kakashi becomes the Hokage, he will only care about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, not you, a useless civilian. "

"He will even arrange a leisurely position for you with a look of pity, saying that it is for your own good, while letting you live a life of early retirement. Katsumura-san, are you really willing to become a marginal figure in Konoha at such a young age? ? Are you really willing to accept this kind of almost humiliating pity? "

"I know, Katsumura classmate, because I am the same as you. We both long for an opportunity, we both long to stand high and get everyone's recognition, instead of being stepped on by those high above! Now, Danzo-sama is this opportunity. You are younger than me, you will get more attention, and the root will give you the possibility of becoming a jonin, which is enough to change your destiny!"

...

As people with the same background, Mutian Noguchi's words are extremely inflammatory to Katsumura Yota. But Katsumura Yota is not a fool after all. He is helpless at a young age and is much more mature than his peers. So in the face of Mutian Noguchi's instigation, Katsumura Yota asked back:

"Mr. Mutian, what's the price?"

"The root can give me strength, so what is the price?"

Hearing that Katsumura Yota easily saw the key to the matter, Mutian Noguchi also nodded secretly, thinking that Katsumura Yota is really an amazing kid. If it weren't for his background, he

It will definitely be more dazzling than now. But unfortunately...

"The price is that the Root needs all the information about Shokuhou Misaki."

Hearing the name "Shokuhou Misaki" from Mutanoguchi, Katsumura Yota was stunned at first, and then sneered.

This is a joke to the Root, a joke to Danzo, and a joke to Mutanoguchi. Because the mysterious and powerful Root that Mutanoguchi mentioned did not even have the courage to directly contact Shokuhou Misaki. Obviously, the so-called Root is not that powerful at all, and the so-called Danzo is probably just a jumping clown.

While laughing at others, Katsumura Yota was also laughing at himself.

I said that I am just a civilian ninja, how come a mysterious person suddenly came to win me over?

Only Shokuhou-san, a genius like her who can calculate the three ninjas, is the real target of the Root.

But you don't even have the courage to find Shokuhou-san yourself. Even if you join this kind of organization, there is probably no future. In addition, Katsumura Yota was young and full of vigor, and he valued friendship, so when faced with the Root's recruitment represented by Muta Noguchi, Katsumura Yota shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Muta, I will never betray my friends!"

The Root had expected Katsumura Yota's answer. So after Katsumura Yota finished speaking, Muta Noguchi took out a few photos from his pocket. Looking at the people in the photos, Katsumura Yota's expression immediately became extremely serious.

"This is..."

"This is your other teammate Mai Namikaze, and her family." Mutanoguchi explained:

"According to our Root's intelligence, Katsumura-san, you seem to have a crush on Mai-san! If so, you should get to know Mai-san's family earlier. This person is Mai-san's father, an ordinary accountant in Konoha Village, and Mai-san's mother, who works in a laundry shop. And..."

Looking at the photos, Katsumura Yota said in horror:

"What are you going to do?"

"It's not what we want to do, but what someone wants to do!" Mutanoguchi said:

"Let me tell you, the Namikaze clan has long been listed as a must-kill target by a big shot. The reason they are alive until now is only because of the protection of Lord Danzo. And now, if Lord Danzo no longer protects them, the Namikaze clan will disappear from Konoha the next day, including the girl you like."

"How is this possible? Could it be that even Kakashi-sensei..."

"The reason why Kakashi accepted you as his disciples is because of the protection of Lord Danzo. Son, just to protect the Namikaze clan. But the reality is that Kakashi's protection is not worth mentioning! Otherwise, why do you think Kakashi has been guiding you in your training recently? Do you really think it's for the Chunin Exam? Let me tell you, he just wants to increase Namikaze Mai's strength at the last minute so that she has a chance to survive. "

"Why?" Katsumura Yota said puzzledly:

"Even if the Namikaze clan has produced the Fourth Hokage, it is now just an ordinary small family, and there are not even a few Genin. Why would anyone want to deal with them? "

"This is not something you should know. If you want to blame someone, blame this family for having a thousand threads with a little kid! In order to prevent that little kid from being out of the control of the top leaders, the demise of this family is just a matter of time. And now the only one who has the ability to protect the Namikaze clan from the Konoha top leaders is Danzo-sama. "

"So, Katsumura-san, are you still going to refuse our root's recruitment now?"

At this time, Katsumura Yota is facing an unprecedented huge challenge.

On one side is the information about a friend, and on the other side is the life of a loved one.

After struggling, Katsumura Yota finally nodded and said:

"Got it, I will give you the information about Shokuhou-san."
