Chapter 37 037. I Can Stop the Coup by Myself.

A few days later, it was lunch break.

Shikamaru walked up to Naruto with shogi and invited Naruto to play shogi.

Naruto glanced at the unfamiliar chess board and said in a joking tone: "Why did Shikamaru ask me to play shogi? I don't know any rules. Why don't you go find Choji?"

"Choji is unwilling to use his brain. He has lost to me many times. You are more willing to use your brain than him."

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Besides, if you don't understand the rules, you can learn them slowly. People always need to learn to grow slowly."

Naruto was a little unsure who asked Shikamaru to come over, but he was also interested in shogi.

Half an hour later.

When all of Naruto's chess pieces were eaten, Shikamaru showed a happy smile for a long time: "Naruto, you lost again. This is the fifth time you have lost to me."

Naruto scratched his head and looked at the chessboard with some worry: "I'm really not good at shogi."

Shikamaru smiled and said: "It's pretty good for a beginner. I barely mastered the rules after being defeated many times. Naruto, you still haven't learned to calculate. Calculation is the most interesting part of the chessboard."

"Ninjas are like chess players. Only by mastering the intelligence of the enemy and ourselves can we win the battle."

Looking at the confident Shikamaru, Naruto held back his laughter and thought to himself: The battle between ninjas requires information about the enemy and ourselves, but the battle between Gundams is different. Rather than becoming a chess player's pawn, he wants to be an outsider. .

What's more, he is really not good at shogi. If it were chess, the results would be completely different.

After winning several times, Shikamaru felt sleepy and returned to the classroom with the chessboard.

Naruto sat down in the shadows, holding medical-related books in his hands, and glanced at Shikamaru's back from the corner of his eye.

Dealing with a smart guy like Shikamaru is troublesome. He can speak directly, but he always uses this roundabout way to remind himself to abide by the rules. If he is a hot-blooded idiot, it will fall on deaf ears.

At this time, a group of third- and fourth-year students gathered under the shade of a tree in the distance, discussing something enthusiastically, and the sound reached Naruto's ears.

"You heard that the security forces clashed with people again."

"Isn't that normal? The police force has always enforced the law violently. Many times it is just a small matter that turns a blind eye, but it has to be taken to the police force to be imprisoned and fined. Who can tolerate their temper?"

"It's just that they are strict with the villagers, but they are lenient with their own people. They treat them very differently."

"No, this time it was a conflict between the police and ninjas. It is said that other ninjas were also involved. In the end, it was the Hokage who came forward to prevent the situation from getting worse."

"As far as I know, there is more than one similar incident, it has happened several times in the past few days."

"There are three pests in Konoha, the demon fox, the caged bird and the security force. Can't the security force be calm like the other two?"

Listening to the discussion in his ears, Naruto didn't take it seriously and ignored these little brats who were just hearing rumors.

Even the three evils of Konoha have been eliminated. Isn't there only the three evil, gambling, and poisonous ninjas in Konoha?

However, even children knew about the conflict between the security forces and Konoha, and Uchiha's reputation was completely ruined.

Different from Naruto's agreement, Sasuke who was passing by could not accept that Uchiha was insulted and showed a dangerous look.

After being glanced at, the senior students suddenly fell silent. They were no match for Sasuke in a single fight, and they were also afraid of the power of the Uchiha clan, so they could only run away with their tails between their legs.

Sasuke did not chase them, but sat down next to Naruto and said rather dissatisfied:

"Naruto, they are calling you a demon fox behind your back, why don't you run over and give them a fight?"

"They were right. I am the incarnation of the demon fox. This was confirmed by Grandpa Hokage himself. Maybe because their parents died in my hands, they spoke ill of me behind their backs."

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then said: "Are you really...a demon fox? Those rumors outside are all true. You really killed many people."

Naruto turned a page of the book, looked at Sasuke and said with a smile:

"You are really easy to lie, but I do have some relationship with the demon fox. He lives in my body. As for why I don't make trouble for those people, because I think it is a waste of time and should not be wasted on these fools."

After a pause, Naruto looked at Sasuke: "But, when you came to me, did you want to be brutally tortured by me one-sidedly again?"

Sasuke's face changed slightly: "That's not true, I just think you are a little lonely reading alone, so I am compassionate and come to accompany you so that you will not be isolated by others."

Naruto's eyes became playful: "But I am not isolated. I am isolated by those people with colored glasses. I have many friends, including Hinata, Shikamaru and Choji."

Hearing this, Sasuke suddenly became a little stunned and stood there a little helpless.

He won't admit that the real reason why he came here is because he doesn't have many friends in school.

Apart from those nymphomaniacs, his only friend was Naruto, and he was even more lonely than Naruto.

Seeing Sasuke who was silent, another arrogant fox jumped out and commented as a melon-eater:

"Naruto, this brat is interested in you. If it were a girl, it would be a sure blow. Unfortunately, he is just a brat. There is no possibility between brats and brats."

Naruto made a 'go away' gesture to Kyuubi: "I'm not a gay, you old pervert."

Kyuubi said with a playful smile: "You always call me a demon fox when you call me outside. I just make some jokes and you get anxious. The kid is indeed a kid."

Naruto hung up Kyuubi's voice with a gloomy expression. For some reason, Kyuubi's style became more and more strange.

At this time, Sasuke, who had been talking for a long time, said: "Naruto, there is one more thing. My parents recognize you as a friend and want you to be a guest at home more in the future. I wonder if you have time."

Hearing this, Naruto looked deeply at Sasuke.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Hokage won't let me go to the Uchiha clan for the time being. If there is a chance, I will go there."

Combined with the current situation of Uchiha, Naruto can almost confirm that Fugaku's purpose of inviting him is simple.

I want to take advantage of the opportunity of my own visit, my potential to influence myself silently, and finally threaten the higher-ups through myself.

But it is a pity that neither he nor the Third Hokage will give Fugaku a second chance. Although Fugaku has good strength and good character, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is indecisive.

He is neither willing to accept the status quo of Uchiha being treated differently, nor is he willing to risk his wealth and life.

In the end, he lost everything in his hesitation and became an incompetent leader.

Hearing Naruto's polite refusal, Sasuke was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He just said with a cold face: "Let's go training together after school. I learned a few new ninjutsu."

Kyuubi's voice sounded again: "Naruto, the malice in you has obviously increased just now."

Naruto glanced at the Kyuubi. Having a tailed beast beside him that could distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions meant trouble.

"Kyuubi, you also have a lot of malice in you."

Kyuubi said rather disdainfully: "I am a tailed beast, and the malice on my body does not come from you humans. It has been polluted by you humans for thousands of years."

"Then aren't you dirty?" Naruto showed disgust in his eyes and distanced himself.

Kyuubi snorted coldly: "You brat, you are the same, but I am looking forward to the day when you leave Konoha. Maybe we can find a place to live with a simple heart."

…

Inside the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was rarely leisurely. He did not work or observe Naruto. Instead, he held a cigarette in his mouth and examined the portraits of previous Hokages on the wall, letting nicotine numb his nerves.

Ever since Naruto left the Uchiha clan that day, the behavior of the security forces has become much bolder.

Not only were weapons and detonating charms secretly purchased, but the law enforcement process towards villagers and even ordinary ninjas became increasingly violent.

Logically speaking, Uchiha's behavior of taking the initiative to offend the public is beneficial to the Hokage family. With Uchiha as a foil, their senior leaders can have a good image.

But if someone ignites the powder keg of Uchiha, the entire village will be affected.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shisui, with a tired look on his face, walked into the Hokage's office.

Shisui...why is he here?

The Third Hokage held his pipe in his mouth and blew out lavender smoke. He looked at the Uchiha young man in front of him who inherited the will of fire and said slowly:

"Shisui, you are here because of the conflict between the police and the villagers."

Shisui nodded, seeming to have made some kind of decision and said, "Not exactly, I came here to plead guilty to the security force. I suspect that the family wants to launch a coup against the Hokage Building."

"coup?"

The Third Hokage's face suddenly changed, but he quickly regained his composure, looked at Shisui and said:

"Since you are willing to tell this, you definitely don't want a coup to happen, but you need me to do something to help you prevent this coup."

"You don't need me for anything. I can handle the coup by myself. I just hope you don't embarrass the clan members."

The third generation frowned and took a deep look at Shisui: "To prevent the coup, you alone? Since I and the Anbu are doing it together, there is no guarantee that we can stop the coup of the police."

Zhisui lowered his head and said in a calm tone:

"Sandaime-sama, I don't want to deal with everyone. I only need to control Captain Fugaku."

"Captain Fugaku is the leader of the coup. Changing his will can allow him to stop the coup. And I happen to have mastered the 'Bietenjin' technique that can modify the will of others."
