Since Tealwood's fame could not be suppressed, it was enough to do the opposite. Therefore, they wanted to promote Aoki and even agreed to the abdication of the third generation Naruto and let Aoki take over. Indeed, Tealwood's strength and temperament far exceeded his age, and he had met Naruto's requirements.
However, the most important thing was Tealwood's experience. No matter how powerful a 12-year-old brat is, what right does he have to lead us? This was what many of the Leaf Ninjas were thinking. If Takagi was really promoted to Naruto, he would probably be in chaos since he did not have any foundation.
As long as the Elder Group tried to sow discord, Tealwood would definitely oppose this group of ninjas. If Tealwood made a mistake, he would be immediately suppressed. In the end, he would have no choice but to compromise with the Elders and become a puppet, Naruto. Of course, the fact that the third-generation successor had agreed to this proposal also meant that he would stand on Takagi's side.
It should be said that from the very beginning, the Elders 'target wasn't Tealwood himself, but the third generation Naruto and the forces loyal to him. Tealwood was just a sacrificial lamb caught in the middle. Without any foundation, no matter how strong he was, he was just a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time in the eyes of the higher-ups.
Tealwood had a vague idea of what the third-generation successor was thinking, but he wanted to verify it himself. Therefore, he immediately put on his clothes and followed Kakashi to Naruto's office. He directly asked the question in his heart. "Third generation lord, I want to know why you agreed to let me take over Naruto's position. Takagi looked at the aged third generation Naruto and sighed. He said indifferently,""Lord Naruto, Naruto…is the fourth generation Naruto's child?”
The third-generation successor and Kakashi's bodies trembled as they looked at Tealwood in shock. Other than a small number of higher-ups, almost no one knew about this. After the shock, the third-generation successor's eyes dimmed and he said dejectedly,""Is that so? Is that the reason? Your distrust is because you are dissatisfied with Mu Ye's actions and feel disappointed.”
" Naruto should have been treated as the village's hero because his father, Naruto IV, sacrificed himself to protect the village. At the same time, Naruto used his own body as a vessel to carry the Nine-Tailed Fox…But now?”Greenwood took a deep breath and said,"" I don't know what Naruto did wrong to deserve such treatment, so I'm afraid and disappointed at the same time.”
"The trees in the forest are bound to be destroyed by the wind. After I opened my kaleidoscope, I knew that I had to hide this power because I didn't want to become a destroyed tree.”Tealwood's words were like sharp thorns that stabbed into the third generation Naruto's heart. The guilt that had been dormant for a long time finally erupted. The third-generation successor, who had felt powerless because of Orochimaru's invasion, now looked much older in an instant.
"…I know that all of this is my fault…It was my compromise that caused Naruto to suffer so much pain…I've let down the fourth generation, and I've let Naruto down!”The third generation's words brought back Kakashi's memories. He could understand his disappointment towards Kiba. After his father, White Tooth Kiba, committed suicide, he had a deep understanding of it.
However, many years of education prevented him from defecting. There were his friends and people he cherished in Muye. Thus, no matter how dissatisfied and disappointed he was, Kakashi did not defect. At this thought, Kakashi glanced at Tealwood. There was only disappointment in the latter's eyes, and an aged expression that did not match his age appeared on his face.
"It's precisely because I know I made a mistake that I can't make another mistake!”The third-generation successor slowly put away his guilt and sadness. He looked straight at Tealwood, his gaze firm and unyielding. "You are Muye's hope. I have a feeling that Muye will grow stronger under your hands! So even though I knew that this suggestion wasn't feasible, I still agreed.”
"You are destined to become Huo Ying and inherit the will of fire!”
Kakashi didn't expect the third-generation successor to have such a high opinion of Tealwood. He looked at his disciple beside him in astonishment. "Are you worried that…I will defect? This way, you can rest assured that there are still people I cherish in Muye. I won't do that unless it's absolutely necessary.”Since the third generation had already said so, Tealwood didn't hold back.
Who knew that the third-generation successor shook his head and said," I'm not worried that you'll leave Muye. I just don't want to see your eyes filled with vigilance." I'm not forcing you to let go of the knot in your heart now. I just want you to take a good look. Many things are not as bad as you think. Mu Ye…is not as dark and dirty as you think.”
To be able to make the third generation use the word 'dirty', it was obvious that this old man did not intend to continue watching the actions of some people. Although he didn't know how far the third-generation successor could go, his attitude was undoubtedly good. At least Takagi was satisfied.
Therefore, he said,"Naruto is still too early for me. In any case, I will not accept this position now."”The third-generation successor noticed the meaning behind Takagi's words. Takagi meant that he would not accept it now. What if it was in the future? Indeed, even the third-generation successor who had agreed to the proposal felt that Takagi's qualifications were too shallow. Since Takagi had already expressed his attitude, it would not be worth it to force him.
The third-generation successor nodded." In that case, I won't force you." However, before the new Naruto takes office, I hope that you can temporarily act as Naruto's agent.”The third-generation successor hoped that by acting as Naruto's agent during this period of time, he could accumulate some fame for Aoki and increase his reputation.
Moreover, even if Aoki made any mistakes while representing Naruto, it could be explained by his lack of experience. After all, he resigned after the new Naruto took office, so it would not affect him much. He believed that with his help, the third generation would be able to lay a good foundation for Aoki to succeed Naruto in the future.
Kakashi looked at Tealwood, then at the third-generation successor. He felt that this world was really too crazy. The leader of the Woodleaf Ninja Village in the Country of Fire, Naruto, one of the Five Shadows of Ninja World, was decided by an old man and a young man? Kakashi never remembered that his disciple was so intelligent. Not only was he good at ninjutsu and strategy, but he was also good at politics.
Tealwood lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Seeing the determination in the third-generation successor's eyes, he nodded slightly in agreement.
Thus, the youngest Naruto in history was born, even though he was only an agent. A 12-year-old agent, Naruto, was unprecedented. When this news came out, the entire Muye went crazy. Those who were familiar with Tealwood's strength were shocked, but it wasn't unacceptable.
As for the ninjas who had no idea who Aoki Chiyu was, they were even more frantic. The only thought in the minds of these ninjas when they heard the news was,'Are the higher-ups of Muye crazy?'
"Congratulations, Sir Naruto.”At this moment, Shikamaru was smiling evilly as he congratulated a certain someone in Nara's house. Lu Jiu's face was full of emotion as he said,""I really didn't expect such an outcome. Qianyu, as expected, gold will always shine!”Tealwood ignored Shikamaru's gloating and said helplessly,""Although it deviated from my vision, this is still a solution, just a little extreme.”
"Next, you will have to face the hostility and killing intent from the shadows. To be honest, facing such a thing at your age makes me feel that I am really old!”Lu Jiu's face was a mixture of gratification and emotion, and it was impossible to tell which was more.
"But we know Qianyu's character. Lu Jiu, I believe you've already made your decision?”The voice that suddenly interrupted was Ino's father, Oichi Yamanaka. Lu Jiu nodded and said,"Since we can't stay out of it, then we'll do our best to participate!"”
"Good luck, Naruto, the sixth generation, hehe.”
"I told you not to call me that, Shikamaru!”
