The Neglected Blue Ace of Konoha (New Cover)

Chapter 19

"WHAT!" shouted the collected people in the council chamber "BUT WHY?!"

"It's simple, Tsunade is still going through her depression which means she would blow off all the money on gambling and sake. Jiraiya would blow off the job entirely and go peek at women in the hot springs while also spending the money on brothels, he may even use the title of Hokage as a means of getting laid. Orochimaru on the other hand, he is responsible and reliable. He also knows that the academy needs to be improved so that we don't lose newly recruited genin on their first C-Rank," explained Naruto to the council

"I see, so your thinking for the betterment of the village rather than personal gain?" asked Danzo as Naruto nodded

"Yes, I find Orochimaru as capable, if not more, than the Yondaime," said Naruto as the council members looked at each other. They talked and talked until they gave their decision to Danzo "By unanimous decision, Orochimaru is to be the next Godaime Hokage," announced Danzo as both the clan heads and the civilian council nodded in approval "now that the position of Hokage is dealt with this meeting is dismissed, but Naruto, I would like to talk to you," said Danzo as the clan heads and the civilian council left. When they were gone, Naruto approached Danzo and said "You wanted to talk, Jiji?" he asked

"Yes I would, it's about the Take-Over Siblings," said Danzo

"What about them?"

"As you know, they have access to magic, I would like you to start a family of magic users, you already have the housing for it," said Danzo

"Jiji, I've already taken the liberty of taking care of all magic users I find," said Naruto

"Well that's good," said Danzo as he patted Naruto's shoulder as he walked away "also Naruto, this is an order from your elder,"

"Yes?" replied Naruto as Danzo looked at him with a soft eye

"Try to open your heart, when you returned I saw nothing but mental scars worse than those from the Third War... it broke my heart when I saw that," he said as he walked away "it almost made this old War Hawk cry,"

"Jiji, you know why I keep things to myself," said Naruto

"I know, just try to find a way. Adopting those orphans was a good start, and taking in Yushi and the Take-Over Siblings is another step, but try to be more open," said Danzo as he walked out of the chamber, leaving Naruto there to think. Naruto stood there looking at the open chamber doors and thought 'I can't, I just can't,'

'Yes you can, brat, you just need to find more ways to have fun,' said Gildarts through his mind

'You've all been quiet for the last month, what were you doing during that time?' asked Naruto as he walked out of the room and walked down into the village

'Oh, you know... stuff' said Gildarts

'We've been fighting non-stop, trying to improve ourselves,' said Bluenote

'Those two have been fighting, while I was eating popcorn,' said Kurami

'A whole months worth of popcorn?' asked Naruto

'I took some breaks,' said Kurami as she crossed her arms

'Sure...' thought Naruto as he approached the hospital. Naruto walked to the front desk and asked for the room numbers to the two Take-Over siblings. The person at the front desk gave directions to Naruto and Naruto went to the room. When Naruto entered the room, he found Mira talking to Elfman and Lisanna "Ah Mira, good to see that you made it" he said as he sat down
