Outside the Uchiha clan’s territory!
There was a scarlet-red barrier across the place, which was set up by Danzo. He was serious about annihilating the Uchiha and would never let any of them go.
Under the barrier stood an old man wearing a conical hat and a divine robe. He was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Standing opposite him were the patriarchs of the major ninja clans in Konoha Village.
Everyone looked at the Third Generation Sarutobi with very cold eyes.
Yamanaka Inichi, with long golden hair tied into a ponytail, looked at the battle situation reflected by the Konoha barrier above his head, quietly formed seals with his fingers, and used the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan. In public, he opened a private dialogue channel with Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choji.
Yamanaka Inoichi: "I never thought that the Third Hokage would do such a thing. Not only did they steal the Uchiha blood, they even stole the Wood Release of his teacher's family. It's really too shameful to see how greedy they are."
Qiu Daoding Zuo: "The three generations have always eaten like this. Did you just find out today?"
Yamanaka Inoichi: "Should we continue to support the Third Hokage? What was revealed today has completely offended the major ninja clans."
Nara Shikaku just listened quietly and did not express his opinion immediately.
He also wanted to cut ties with the third generation and the others immediately, but it was not so easy to do so.
The interests of Zhu, Lu, Die and the three generations are tied together.
In addition to Konoha F4, the second generation guard team also includes Akimichi Toukaze!
Because of Akimichi Tofu, the Ino, Shika, and Chou tribes were also considered as their own people in Sarutobi's eyes, and thus the three tribes developed greatly during the third generation.
In the Sandaime they did dirty things, but their three clans didn't eat less either.
For example: There is a piece of clan land in the center of Uchiha Village that belongs to Ino-Shika-Chou.
At this time, it is separated from the three generations, and what was eaten before will be required to be spit out twice as much.
Could it be possible that Shikaku couldn't detect the dirty things that the Sandai did?
Yes! But he chose to remain silent.
Shikamaru couldn't hide the thoughts of the Third Hokage and Danzo at all.
Everything Danzo did was for the position of Hokage.
Three generations have been shameless and refused to give up the throne. Is there really no one left to inherit?
It was just to successfully pass the position to his son, so that the Hokage would continue to have the last name Sarutobi.
As for the Third Hokage's behavior, Shikaku just laughed at it in his heart and had no intention of interfering at all. The position of Hokage would never be passed to the Sarutobi family again.
If it could have been passed down to the Sarutobi family, his eldest son would not have died.
He sent his second son to the Fire Country Daimyo to be a guardian ninja, thinking that no one could see that it was to give Asuma the opportunity to build an upper-class political foundation.
All Shikaku wanted to say was that if Asuma came back to Konoha, he would be close to death.
Yamanaka Inoichi: "Shikaku, please speak up! You are the smartest among us. Tell me what attitude we should show tonight?"
Nara Shikaku: "Support the Hokage."
Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't control his expression and almost screamed out.
At this time, the battle in the Uchiha clan's territory reflected by the Konoha barrier above their heads showed that Danzo and the Uzumaki masked man still had the advantage.
but……
Tonight, the Third Hokage and Danzo not only have to face the Uchiha clan, but also the Bloodstain clan whose reverse scale has been touched.
To continue to stand on the same side for three generations at this time would be a huge gamble, and the family might even be destroyed.
Yamanaka Inoichi: "Isn't it too risky to support the Hokage at this time?"
Akimichi Choza also echoed: "Yes! Even if we support the Third Hokage, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the wrath of the major ninja clans." Nara Shikaku: "The Third Hokage won't fall so easily. Even though the ninja clans are very tough on the Third Hokage at this moment, they won't do anything to him."
Qiu Daodingzuo was shocked: "Isn't this going to force the third generation to step down?"
Nara Shikaku said: "Because the third generation is a waste!"
Among all the major ninja village Kages in the entire ninja world, Sarutobi is one of the two oldest Kages.
The Tsuchikage of Iwakage Village, Ryougo Ōnoki, is older than Sarutobi. He has never given up his position not because he is greedy for power, but because he has no successor.
The disciple Deidara does not practice Dust Release well and wants to rebel against the village to pursue art.
The Jinchūriki, Lao Zi, had a personality conflict with Ōnoki, so they left the village and wandered around. Ōnoki was reluctant to do so and labeled them as traitors.
During the three Ninja World Wars, he was always on the front lines, and he was able to survive thanks to his great strength and the ability to fly.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, relied on not going to the battlefield.
They hid in the rear, in the Ninja School, and deceived minors, such as Obito and Kakashi, who were less than 13 years old, to go to the battlefield to fight.
With the minors carrying the burden for him, he can naturally live a peaceful life in Konoha.
Ninjas may not be well-educated, but they are not fools.
If they couldn't see the problem in one year, how could the patriarchs of the major families still not understand it after 40 years?
Most of the credit for Konoha's victory in the three Ninja World Wars can be attributed to the Senju brothers, who left a profound foundation for future generations.
Didn’t you see that Ohnoki of Iwakage Village couldn’t even find a qualified successor, but Konoha was full of talented people and was known as the cradle of geniuses, which made Ohnoki so jealous that his eyes turned red. The Raikage even sent people directly to Konoha to steal blood.
Nara Shikaku: "Putting a pig there wouldn't do worse than what Sarutobi did."
"The Third Sarutobi doesn't have the powerful Blood Limit like the First, nor does he have the amazing Ninjutsu talent like the Second, so he can only play the dirty political balance of the Fire Country Daimyo."
"During his reign, he quietly tied the interests of the various small ninja clans together."
The Nara clan controlled Konoha's medicinal materials, the Akimichi sold military supplies, the Yamanaka clan occupied Konoha's intelligence department, the remnants of the Senju clan occupied the Ninja School, the Sarutobi clan occupied the Anbu, and the Utane clan controlled the financial department...
This is a very balanced and stable structure, but if one of the clans becomes Hokage, the benefits will need to be redistributed, and the balance will be immediately broken.
"The major ninja clans came here tonight only because they were frightened by Danzo's cruelty, so the real target of these ninja clans tonight is Danzo."
"After tonight, the Sandaime will be the Hokage and will continue to be the Hokage."
"because……"
"Konoha's interest groups have been formed." Nara Shikaku stared into the Sandaime's eyes and analyzed the situation with Yamanaka Inoichi and others. He also agreed to get rid of Danzo.
The Third Hokage can continue to be Hokage, but Danzo's power must be stripped away completely. Otherwise, no matter how much benefits the Third Hokage allocates to them, Shikaku will not dare to take it.
Shikaku looked at the barrier light curtain above his head again, and thought to himself: "This projection light curtain should be the work of Uchiha."
"Did they plan this in advance?"
"Is there such a smart person in the Uchiha family?"
The community of interests woven by the Third Hokage did not include the Uchiha clan.
It’s not that the Third Generation doesn’t want to win over the Uchiha, but that the Uchiha people don’t know themselves well.
The Third Hokage tried to win over the Uchiha with the goal of making him the Hokage until his death, and even passing the title to his sons and grandsons. However, the Uchiha idiots believed that the Third Hokage's recognition of them gave them the qualification to compete for the position of Hokage.
After one or two times, the Third Generation naturally pushed the Uchiha out. (End of this chapter)
