Hokage Residence;

It was a circular tower, high above any other buildings in the village. It was located close to the Academy and the Hokage’s Rock.

Inside the main office of the building,

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Hell Yeah!"

Naruto excitedly raised both of his hands as he sat on the Hokage’s chair. He had already gotten this experience from the memories.

But they were just memories. Right now, he was sitting on that chair, wearing the hat.

During the month after he got the memories, many thoughts came to his mind.

Some were dangerous, some were bad, while others only made him hope for the best.

Now, he didn’t need to hope for the best. He could make the best future.

Knock! Knock!

Then, he heard the knock on the door and quickly calmed down.

He was the Hokage now. He had to act like it.

"Come in!"

As he said, the door opened, and three people walked in.

One of them was Shikaku; the other was the head of the Intelligence Department, and the final person was the Anbu Commander.

The Anbu Commander was wearing a mask, but Naruto knew who this person was.

The other was Inoichi. Naturally, the Konoha Intelligence Department had many subdivisions, but overall, it was spearheaded by Inoichi Yamanaka.

"Ibiki-san, why don’t you take off your mask?"

Yes, the Anbu Commander was none other than Ibiki Morino.

"Lord Hokage!"

Ibiki removed his mask, showing a face that Naruto was similar to.

Who would’ve thought the examiner of the Chunin Exam would be the Anbu Commander?

But Naruto knew Ibiki was only an Anbu Commander because Kakashi had left the Anbu while Hiruzen’s eldest son was dead.

Tenzo/Yamato was capable enough, but he was a part of the Roots. Hiruzen, despite his love for Danzo, didn’t want Danzo to control the Anbu.

So, the position fell to Ibiki.

Ibiki only lacked strength. Except for his strength, Ibiki was a perfect Anbu Commander.

"Every Root member who was incapacitated has been brought to the interrogation room."

"As you requested, they were not tortured for information; instead, we placed them in a separate room. This is their list."

Ibiki took out a long list of those Root ninjas and placed it on the table. Nearly half of the Root division was destroyed, while the other half survived.

"Hmm! These people need a proper recovery. Their emotions were stripped by Danzo, so we need to introduce them to a rather simpler life in Konoha."

"That being said, their skills are top-notch for the village. So, this recovery session can only continue for a year."

"Uncle Inoichi, I need you to introduce Ino to this program. Help her get better at your clan’s Jutsu. I guess she will work much harder after seeing my progress."

Naruto chuckled when he said that. He naturally wanted Ino to meet Sai.

Even in his old years, he didn’t like Ino. Not because she wasn’t beautiful or good.

She was one of the most beautiful women in the village. And with his lustful nature, Naruto would naturally be attracted to the future Ino.

But Naruto now had Hinata.

So, he would naturally ignore Ino and let her get with Sai. Of course, whether they get together or not could only be left to fate.

Inoichi’s eyes lit up, but he quickly controlled his emotions.

"By the way, this is the new Barrier Jutsu I researched from my mother’s research. I realized there were a lot of things that could be improved, but we don’t have the technology for that."

"So, I want to take this slow, but I also want the Barrier of Konoha to be changed with this new one immediately."

Naruto said as he took out a scroll and passed it to Inoichi.

"What?"

Inoichi’s eyes widened in shock as he hurriedly took the scroll and asked.

"Lord Hokage, can I check this now?"

"Yes, please!"

Naruto nodded. Then, he looked at Shikaku and asked.

"Uncle Shikaku, how is the public’s reaction to my identity?"

Shikaku shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It has been quite upsetting for many. After all, your father was the hero who saved the village."

"Many ninjas blame the Third Hokage for hiding the truth when the information about Jinchuriki status was already revealed."

Naruto nodded.

This was one mistake that Hiruzen made for him. His Jinchuriki status was already revealed to the public.

This meant the status of his father didn’t need to be a secret. Yes, it could certainly backfire if he started getting assassination attempts.

But there was actually one simple reason why Hiruzen did this.

Naruto was half Uzumaki.

That meant if the Nine-Tails Chakra started leaking, he wouldn’t be able to control it at an early age.

Besides that, Hiruzen also wanted him to live an ordinary life as much as it could be, despite all the hate he was getting.

People wouldn’t care much about his identity. Yeah, sure, some of his dad’s friends would let their children play with him.

But this would only make it easier for other countries to assassinate him. At worst, Naruto would go berserk and attack those children.

Then, his life would be even more miserable.

Eight Trigrams Sealing Jutsu worked on Chakra. As long as he was not willing to release most of his Chakra, the seal would remain stable.

The Seal was made in a way that most of his Chakra was used to power up the seal, not to suppress the Nine-Tails.

It was the Sealing Jutsu that surpassed the Nine-Tails. That’s how powerful the Eight Trigrams Seal was.

But every time Naruto used a lot of his Chakra and got emotionally invested afterward, Nine-Tails’ Chakra would come out.

After all, Naruto wasn’t suppressing the Nine-Tails.

If he became angry while his Chakra was low, the Seal would release Nine-Tails’ Chakra.

This would then weaken the seal. It was a slow process, but it was only slow because Naruto wasn’t assassinated in his early life.

So, no matter how bad Hiruzen’s decision was, in the absence of an Uzumaki who could easily control Naruto, this was the best course of action.
