Utatane Koharu quickly warned: "Naruto, don't ever tear it off alright?"

Mitokado Homura: "Yes, that's right, Naruto. Next time you're in that space, remember not to move at all. Don't talk to the demon fox too. Do you understand?"

Naruto became a little impatient by these two people's nagging. He was here to hold them accountable!

"You're so annoying! Old man, why aren't you saying anything! Why did you hide my identity? My father is the Fourth-Hokage; I am the son of Fourth-Hokage! Why did you send someone to monitor me to not help me?! And don't you care knowing that everyone treats me like that and misunderstands me?!"

Naruto, who was only 3 years old, pointed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose and asked a series of angry questions.

Recalling everything in the past. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

When the old fellows see this, they looked at Naruto, and Naruto looked back at them.

The problem returns to the most serious part, that is, it must be considered whether the current Naruto is hostile to the village!

The old fellows focused their attention on Sarutobi Hiruzen and signaled him to solve the problem. Sarutobi Hiruzen also understood the meaning of these 'friends'.

He did not shirk. He changed his face and said with a sincere voice: "Hey... Naruto. The reason why we concealed your identity is for your safety. Many things are not as simple as you think… You also know that a demon fox is sealed in your body. If your identity is exposed, other villages will definitely be detrimental to you. I once promised your father, to take good care of you, so I must not put your life in danger. I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart-wrenching series of words flickered Naruto, who was only three years old. Fortunately, with Li Yaoxiang's 'reminder' in his mind, Naruto quickly reacted.

"You liar! You said you were afraid that I would be in danger! But how come the entire village already knew that I am the demon fox?! What's the difference?! Do you know how everyone treats me now?! I'll never live this kind of life again!"

Naruto repeatedly shouted. He didn't care about who they are; provoking their authority.

In the Conference Hall, except for Sarutobi Hisaki, the eyes of the other three people got worse.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly said to Naruto: "Naruto, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I was too busy that I ignored your feelings. You are right… Since everyone already knows about the true existence of "Demon Fox". Then I will call everyone in the village as soon as possible to reveal your identity in public, do you think it's good?"

When the words came out, Naruto's eyes widened on the spot. Full of excitement, he looked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief.

"Old… old… old man. You… you… you're not lying? You're... really willing to tell everyone who I am?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted and nodded with a smile.

Followed by- Naruto shouted with excitement.

Cheered and jumped on the desk.

"Hahahaha! Great! Great! I can finally make friends! I can finally play with everyone!"

After shouting and jumping for a while, Naruto was so excited that he quickly got down and used his elbows and knees to climb in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and looked at him at close range: "Old fogey! Quick! Call everyone and tell them!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen still maintained a kind smile: "Naruto, you calm down first. It's not like they can't come. In this period of time, everyone is currently busy with their own affairs. How do you make everyone come? Rest assured. Go back and wait patiently. I'll tell someone to pass it on later. Three days! In three days. After three days, I'll let the whole village come together and then announce your identity in public."

Naruto frowned half his eyebrows, suspiciously: "Really? You're not lying, right?"

"Un." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Naruto was finally willing to give up and leave. He leapt out of the door: "Yes! Great! I can finally make friends!"

With cheers gradually get further apart, this brought the solemn atmosphere back to the Conference Hall.

"Hiruzen! It can't go on like this! This demon fox has known the truth. Sooner or later, he will be detrimental to the village and hostile to everyone. The best way is to take out the roots to take care of it! I can make sure that this will not happen!"

Of course, Shimura Danzo would not let this opportunity pass. However, what was ushered in is Sarutobi's tough attitude.

"..."

Sarutobi Hizen glanced at him with a sour look. Seeing Shimura Danzo's eyes drifting made him sick. The priority was supposed to be to look for the culprit responsible for this situation. Of course, everyone knows this. But, everyone just didn't have time to manage. It was just tacit understanding.

'Everything I do is for Konoha, I'm not wrong! '

He was suddenly full of confidence again. He got angry again and continued to look at this friend who seemed to be condemning him.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen only started to talk and said:

"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. In the past, I was busy with other things and ignored Naruto's feelings. Since most people in the village already know about Naruto's Jinchuriki identity. Then there is no need to hide it anymore… After 3 days, I will summon everyone and announce Naruto's identity on the spot. As for the danger… Oh, didn't everyone see the Naruto's attitude just now? He is just a child. He just wants to make friends and play with everyone. He has never hated the village as a whole at all. In this case, why bother anger him? Moreover, is it not a good thing for the village disclosing his identity, letting him make more friends, and by then make him fell in love with the village?"

As the last sentence was said, no one else in the room could refute it.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu did not say anything, which means they defaulted on this decision. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was right. And this was their consistent style of cultivating new seedlings.

As long as there is a bond. Then Naruto can't not be involved with the village.

As long as there is a bond. Will of Fire's* "guardian" can be better maintained.

[*TL note: The Will of Fire is a recurring element throughout the Naruto series. It is an ideal rooting in Asura Ōtsutsuki's belief that love is the key to peace. It would eventually become the life philosophy Hashirama founded, and the Senju clan lived by, which has since been passed on to many ninja from Konohagakure as a part of their spiritual heritage. It states that the entire village is like a large family unit, and every Konoha shinobi with the Will of Fire loves, believes, cherishes, and fights to protect the village, as previous generations had done before them.]

Shimura Danzo had different ideas, but Seeing that the other two did not refute, he said nothing.

...…..

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not violate his promise.

Three days later, Third-Hokage called everyone to say that there were important things to announce.

After hearing the news, Naruto was so excited on the spot that he couldn't sleep for 2 consecutive nights.

And in the past 2 days, he expressed his longing to Li Yaoxiang in his mind. 'As long as everyone understood my identity, everyone will never hate me again.' something along those lines.

Li Yaoxiang didn't hit him this time. He didn't say anything. He let Naruto be happy.

As for the outcome of the event, will it really be as perfect as Naruto imagined it?

'Haha... I can only say… everything is under my control!'
