I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Naruto's performance in the final assessment was very high-profile, easily defeated all his opponents, and became the number one in the assessment.

Neither the students in the same period nor the senior students brought much resistance to Naruto.

This is also very normal in the eyes of the third Hokage. Naruto's current strength is comparable to Kakashi and Minato back then. Even a special Jnin who focuses on combat may not necessarily be Naruto's opponent.

Renzhuli itself focuses on combat, and it will become a sharp weapon to protect the village in the future.

Therefore, compared to Naruto's strength, he cares more about whether Naruto really cares about the village and the companions he gets along with day and night.

Judging from the current performance, Naruto has successfully established bonds. Although Uchiha Sasuke is also included, it is harmless. As long as there are these bonds, Naruto will not lose control.

This is also one of the reasons why he has not disclosed Naruto's life experience.

On the one hand, it is worried that Naruto's growth will be restricted. On the other hand, with the villagers as a contrast, it will appear that Naruto's bond established in Ninja School is more precious, and he is even more unwilling to lose it.

Seeing that Naruto won the first place in the final assessment, the third Hokage closed the crystal ball.

He began to think about what gift to bring on the next home visit, and what reason to use to prevaricate Naruto's inquiry about his life experience.

But that's all for the future. The most urgent task is to deal with the difficult Uchiha issue. Uchiha's preparations for the coup have reached the point where they have not concealed it.

If Uchiha really launches a coup, the village will suffer huge losses, and it will be difficult for him to keep his position as Hokage.

Retiring from the position of Hokage is nothing, but if it is Danzo who takes over the position of Hokage, it will be troublesome.

At this time, the door of Hokage's office was slowly pushed open, and Danzo walked up to the Third Hokage on crutches, and frowned after smelling the smoke.

He hates Hiruza Sarutobi's smoking, and these bad habits will become a great flaw during the mission.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer a Hokage worthy of his assistance. If it weren't for the huge rejection of Mutun and Sharingan transplanted, he would have launched an attack on Hokage and replaced them.

After Danzo arrived, Sandai Hokage took the initiative to extinguish the bong, frowned and asked, "Are you here for Uchiha again?"

Danzo nodded, and after sitting down in a chair beside him, he said slowly, "Hizan, all the spies I planted inside Uchiha are dead."

Three generations of Hokage asked: "You planted spies in the Uchiha clan who let you make your own decisions?"

Danzo ignored the third Hokage's questioning, and said in a low tone: "It's not important. The important thing is that they are responsible for the logistics of the garrison. We have lost control of Uchiha. They may launch a coup at any time."

The Third Hokage remained silent, his eyes fixed on Danzo.

"Nichiha, it's time for you to make up your mind to deal with Uchiha. Uchiha has repeatedly provoked the authority of the high-level people, and he also preached against the village at the clan meeting. Now he has purchased a large amount of materials for the coup d'état."

"Instead of passively waiting for Uchiha to launch a coup, it is better to attack Uchiha's rebellion in advance."

After a pause, Danzo went on to say: "This time I will also send the root to assist, and I will never leave any fish that slipped through the net. At that time, I only need to announce the Uchiha rebellion."

The Third Hokage took a deep look at Danzo, sighed and said, "The risk is still too great. I believe Itachi can convince Uchiha Fugaku that there is no need for a war between the village and Uchiha."

Danzo's proposal is certainly good. Quickly gathering troops to eliminate Uchiha can kill the coup in the bud.

But as Hokage, he had to consider more, such as the views of the other families in the village, whether the other four major congresses would take the opportunity to attack, and more importantly, the security force was a tough nut to crack.

The root of Danzo, his Anbu, and the overall strength are not as good as Uchiha's security forces.

Once one's own power is damaged, the rest of the family is bound to exert influence on the Hokage Building and have further ambitions.

As if he had guessed the thoughts of the third Hokage, Danzo said quietly: "I will try to convince Uchiha Itachi to let him stand on our side, the family or the village, he will make the right choice."

"Then let's talk about it at that time... I want to be alone."

The Third Hokage suddenly felt powerless, and the situation was out of his control.

After being ordered to evict, Danzo got up and left the Hokage building. Before leaving, he glanced at the office where Hokage was located. His eyes showed disappointment, and he said with emotion in his heart:

"Hiizhan, you are still old. If you were young, you would never hesitate like this. You, who can't make a judgment, still firmly occupy the position of Hokage, and don't let me get a finger."

"However, with the power of Senju and Uchiha at the same time, I am destined to be the final winner."

...

Inside the ninja school.

Naruto, who was first in the grade in the actual combat assessment and crushed the senior students, undoubtedly became the focus of the student group, and there was a lot of discussion.

Some people were happy, some were envious, some expressed jealousy, and cursed the damn fox in their hearts. Why should the dangerous fox participate in the actual combat assessment? This is obviously unfair to other students.

However, no matter how excited everyone is, Naruto's first place in the grade will not change.

Iruka, who was sitting in the office correcting the test paper, also felt that his face was bright, and the other teachers showed envious eyes, and asked Iruka to treat him to dinner.

Although Iruka was happy about this, he still couldn't help worrying.

In the past six months, Naruto has changed too much, which made him feel uneasy. How could the boy who was discriminated against by the villagers suddenly become sunny and cheerful.

But this change is a good thing, he can't persuade Naruto to return to a gloomy state.

The teacher next to him, Mizuki, came over and said with a smile:

"Iruka, why aren't you happy? You can teach such a troublesome student like Naruto well, and let him get the first place. This proves that your teaching level has improved."

"Maybe the principal has planned to promote you and make you a senior teacher."

Iruka sighed softly and said, "But, it's not my credit. I didn't do anything. It's because Naruto is too good. He applied for early graduation half a year ago, but was rejected by Hokage Building."

Mizuki shook his head and said, "You, you are just too honest and don't know how to be flexible. By the way, I will be on vacation soon. I have received a very lucrative task. Are you interested in coming together?"

"What mission?"

"It won't take many days to escort the goods to Tianzhiguo."
