Chapter 239 When a country is going downhill, someone needs to step on the accelerator (7.2K)

The Sand Village did not have any special ideas about the proposal of Kizuna Shingetsu.

After all, although they joined the anti-Konoha alliance, for now, the Sand Village has not changed much compared to before, and can’t get any benefits from it.

So in the spirit of fun, the Sand Village still mobilized its own power very happily and carried out relative publicity for this matter in the ninja world.

After all the four ninja villages had no objection, the four ninja villages also jointly issued a notice to hold the “Uchiha International Arbitration Case” in the International Ninja Organization of the Iron Country.

——

“Hokage, this is the relevant information about the “Uchiha International Arbitration Case.”

After the Anbu ninja finished reporting, he handed a stack of information in his hand to Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo suppressed his anger and read the propaganda notice of the four ninja villages in his hand.

“Integrity is the foundation of ninjas. But Sarutobi Hiruzen’s “Hokage Rock Fart” behavior undoubtedly tarnished the entire ninja community. So for the benefit of the entire ninja industry and to rectify the style of the ninja industry, we have no choice but to intervene in the Uchiha affairs and seek justice for the Uchiha!”

The notice of the Hidden Rock Village reveals helplessness and helplessness everywhere, and Ohnoki’s mentality of being both responsible and independent is clearly reflected.

“Fairness and morality are in the hearts of the people, and the injustices in the ninja world will be taken care of by the people in the ninja world!”

This is the notice of the Hidden Cloud Village, simple and rough, which is very consistent with the temperament of the Hidden Cloud Village.

“The problem between Konoha and Uchiha is definitely not Konoha’s internal affairs. This conflict has seriously affected the important interests of various countries and ninja villages in the Land of Fire, and involved the energy of tens of millions of people in the Land of Fire and even the entire Ninja World.”

“As an important force in maintaining peace in the Ninja World and a responsible major Ninja Village, Kirigakure naturally has to shoulder its due responsibilities. So in response to this issue, we had to make a decision that goes against our ancestors. For the sake of all the people in the Ninja World, we decided to introduce international forces to mediate the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha.”

“I believe that under our mediation, Konoha and Uchiha will definitely be able to put aside their past grudges, resolve conflicts, and contribute their own strength to the peace of the Ninja World.”

From this familiar labeling, it is not difficult to hear that this is Kirigakure’s propaganda notice from standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers.

As for the propaganda notice of Sand Village, it is very simple.

“…For the opinions of the above-mentioned ninja villages, we, Sand Village, very much agree, and believe that this is a long-term strategy for the overall situation of the Ninja World and looking to the future…”

In short, it is “I am the same.”

So when Shimura Danzo saw these words, his anger reached its peak.

Especially the description of the conflict between Uchiha and the village made him very upset.

Because…

Those are all true.

Bang!

He threw the information in his hand on the table fiercely, closed his eyes and kept thinking about how to solve this public opinion crisis.

Soon, he thought of a solution, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Transfer these things to Sarutobi Hiruzen!”

Shimura Danzo pushed all the information in his hand to the Anbu ninja, “This ‘Hokage Rock Oath’ is his decision after all, let us, the former Hokage, see how to deal with this matter!”

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, all the propaganda notices of the four ninja villages mentioned Sarutobi Hiruzen’s “Hokage Rock Oath”, and Shimura Danzo keenly discovered this.

In this case, he can justifiably remove himself.

After all, what you condemned was the “Hokage Rock Oath” and Sarutobi Hiruzen, what does it have to do with me, Shimura Danzo?

As for the deterioration of the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha caused by this, you also want to find the initiator, right?

Shimura Danzo was keenly aware of this, so he quickly came to divert the blame.

“By the way, leak these ninja village propaganda notices to the village without leaving any trace, and emphasize that it was Sarutobi Hiruzen’s “Hokage Rock Oath” that led to the current scene.”

At this point, Shimura Danzo seemed to have thought of something, his face relaxed, and he continued to say to the Anbu ninja:

“Tell him that if he doesn’t solve the Uchiha matter, I will let these rumors spread, and I won’t react.”

In the surprised expression of the Anbu ninja, Shimura Danzo’s exposed single eye showed an interested look.

“Hiruzen, I want to see what you will do in this situation.”

For Shimura Danzo, is the harmony and stability of the village important?

Important!

Does he understand the importance of the Uchiha clan to Konoha?

Of course he does!

Doesn’t he know that the Uchiha clan has become an absolutely unstable factor in Konoha at this time?

Of course he knows!

But does this mean that he has to bow to the Uchiha clan?

Not necessarily!

As a hawk, as Shimura Danzo who stepped on the Uchiha clan to become the Hokage, no matter his temperament or the majesty of the Hokage, he would never bow to the Uchiha clan.

In this case, Shimura Danzo suddenly thought of a question, that is, if he resolutely dealt with this matter, how would Sarutobi Hiruzen react?

Even though he hated Sarutobi Hiruzen so much, Shimura Danzo had to admit that this old guy’s love for Konoha was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

So, if he did nothing, could he watch the Uchiha clan and the village split, and watch Konoha face the danger of overthrow under the trend of the anti-Konoha alliance?

In the current situation, if he ignored the overwhelming rumors, then the Uchiha clan would inevitably break with the village even if he didn’t want to.

At that time, he could apologize and step down, and easily retreat at the cost of resigning from the position of Hokage, but what about Konoha?

How can Konoha without Uchiha resist the fierce malice of the ninja world?

Yes, whether for his ideals or to prove himself, he would definitely not give up the position of Hokage, but would Sarutobi Hiruzen dare to gamble?

Even if the probability is one in ten thousand?

He Shimura Danzo patted his butt and left, what would Konoha do then?

“Hiruzen, I bet your love for the village is greater than mine!”

When a country is going downhill, someone needs to sit in the driver’s seat and step on the accelerator.

When Shimura Danzo thought that even though Sarutobi Hiruzen had stepped down, he was forced to clean up his own mess by his actions, the refreshing color in his heart almost jumped out.

Although this move also has very serious sequelae and will cause great damage to his image, it is the kind of move that kills one thousand enemies and hurts eight hundred of himself, and cannot be used frequently.

After all, as a Hokage, it is somewhat unreasonable to do nothing in the face of such a thing and let a former Hokage who has already abdicated come forward.

But… who cares?

Are you kidding? Does Shimura Danzo care about the image in the village?

Or, does Shimura Danzo have a positive image in the village?

As a person who has been in charge of the root for decades and won the title of “Dark Ninja” in the ninja world, how could he not know what kind of image he has in the village, or in the hearts of those ninjas?

Besides, as long as this matter is over, he can say afterwards that Sarutobi Hiruzen went to solve the Uchiha incident under his instructions.

It is very reasonable for the current Hokage to command the former Hokage, right?

You say I did nothing? Say I let the rumors go?

Show the evidence!

“Hiruzen, I want you to understand… I am the Hokage!”

Shimura Danzo stood up and looked at the Hokage office that now belonged to him, with endless ambition in his eyes.

Shimura Danzo knew that as long as he firmly grasped the Anbu and mastered his own elite forces, all opposition voices could be ignored.

Therefore, the next step was to increase the efforts to draw people from the ninja clan again, and strive to expand the power of the Anbu again.

However, these measures must wait until Sarutobi Hiruzen solves the Uchiha incident and the impact of this incident completely dissipates.

After all, even if there is already a countermeasure, he still feels sympathetic about the anti-Konoha alliance formed by Iwagakure, Sand Village, Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

——

Uchiha clan territory, Nanga Shrine.

All the Uchiha clan’s jonins now gathered at Nanga Shrine again to discuss the “Uchiha International Arbitration Case” that is now widely circulated.

“Clan leader, this is also a great opportunity for us!”

Uchiha Yashiro looked at Uchiha Homura who was sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed, and his tone was full of excitement.

“When Shimura Danzo stepped on us to become the Hokage, we wanted to make a scene at the Jounin Conference based on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s ‘Hokage Rock Oath’. But you stopped us, saying that Shimura Danzo took out the Mangekyō Sharingan. Regardless of whether his story was true or not, our Uchiha clan was not right after all, so we stopped our actions.”

“But this matter was not initiated by us. The public opinion situation in the outside world has reached this point. We are just taking advantage of this excuse to ask the village for the benefits we deserve. Is this reasonable?”

Uchiha Homura, who was sitting on the main seat, opened his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

“Yes, we didn’t start this situation. No matter what their purpose is, the four ninja villages have already set up the stage for us. We just need to go on stage and perform according to the rules.”

“The village was not right in the first place, and we just followed the trend. This kind of thing is not too much, right?”

After hearing the words of Uchiha Yashiro, even an Uchiha elder of the same generation as Uchiha Yan couldn’t sit still and stood up to support Uchiha Yashiro.

“Take this opportunity to at least let the village return the Mangekyō Sharingan to us!”

When the Nanga Shrine, which was originally quiet, heard this, it immediately became noisy.

The Mangekyō Sharingan has now disappeared from the Uchiha clan for decades. During this long period of time, let alone the ninja world, even in the Uchiha clan, some young people have always believed that the three-magatama Sharingan is the highest realm of the Sharingan.

It was only after the Mangekyō appeared on the battlefield of Rain Country that they learned from the elders of their clan that there was an even more amazing Mangekyō Sharingan above the Three-magatama Sharingan.

Regardless of the inner story, the current situation is that the “ultimate power” of the Uchiha clan is not in the clan, but in the hands of the village. How can this not make the proud Uchiha feel aggrieved and dissatisfied?

Taking this opportunity, a large number of Jonin began to clamor, demanding that the village return the Mangekyo Sharingan.

In this fanatical atmosphere, more and more people began to speak out on the matter and began to support asking the village for the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Then gradually, the atmosphere gradually became out of control.

“If you ask me, not only the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also Danzo, the Hokage, must be given up so that Brother Fugaku can take the seat!”

A young Uchiha jounin stood up and shouted with enthusiasm: “At the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally promised, and under the witness of Uzumaki Mito, he pointed at Hokage Iwa and promised to help Brother Fugaku. Become Hokage.”

“It is precisely because of this promise that in the Second Ninja World War, we spared no effort to mobilize the young and old of the clan to participate in this war.”

“Why, now that the war is over and the Uchiha clan no longer needs us in the village, they just threw us away so easily? Is it possible that he, a dignified Hokage, can pass his words as farts? Is it possible that our Uchiha clan has passed away? Blood, how can a person who has died just forget about it because of an explanation that he doesn’t know whether it’s true or not?”

Under the words of this Uchiha jounin, the atmosphere at Nanga Shrine became more and more heated. Many jonins of the Uchiha clan seemed to have gradually unified their thoughts, that is, the entire clan once again carried the coffin and went to the Hokage Rock to the village. Seek justice.

This time we not only want to get back the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also want to clear the name of the Uchiha clan and make Danzo Shimura give up the position of Hokage!

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting next to Uchiha Homura, heard such crazy words in his ears, and his face showed a trace of embarrassment. He seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

As a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it can be said that his life in the clan was not satisfactory during this period.

A considerable number of people in the clan blamed him for not competing against Shimura Danzo, believing that he did not exert corresponding influence on Sarutobi Hiruzen, which ultimately led to Sarutobi Hiruzen breaking his promise.

I didn’t think carefully about the situation of Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time and how fearful the Uchiha clan was in the eyes of other ninja clans since the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But after all, the old clan leader Uchiha Homura supports him, so even at this time, the clan will still choose him when recommending Hokage.

boom!

Just when everyone was discussing the matter in full swing, Uchiha Homura, whose eyes were slightly opened and closed, and seemed to be really dozing off, finally stood up and tapped the cane in his hand.

As if this was a signal, Nanga Shrine, which was noisy just now, immediately became quiet.

As an old man who took over the power of clan leader from Uchiha Madara and has been in charge of the Uchiha clan for decades, Uchiha Homura’s prestige in the clan is naturally unparalleled.

So as soon as they saw him standing up, everyone immediately stopped talking and waited for the old patriarch’s instructions.

And Uchiha Homura was not vague. After a week of simple inspection, he said:

“The Uchiha clan never owes Konoha anything. On the contrary, Konoha owes Uchiha too much!”

As soon as these tone-setting words came out, joy appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Except Uchiha Fugaku.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face that was hard to see on a normal Uchiha’s face.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, as a Konoha ninja.

On one side is the village, on the other side are the tribesmen.

Is it taking the overall situation into consideration, or is it based on reason?

Uchiha Fugaku couldn’t understand. He originally wanted to pretend that he couldn’t see this problem, but now he could only sit there in silence, acting as a mascot and listening to the words of the old patriarch.

“Why do the Kirigakure Village repeatedly use us as an excuse to attack Konoha? Why don’t they use other ninja clans as an excuse to attack us instead?”

“The last time we gave in because of the Mangekyou thing, the last time we gave in because of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s promise…”

At this time, Uchiha Homura opened his eyes wide, and three bloody magatama were spinning crazily in his eyes.

“So, I decided…”

“Lord Clan Leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi is outside asking for a meeting!”

Just when Uchiha Homura was about to speak out his decision, the alert tribesmen outside came here and reported to Uchiha Homura.

“Who? Did I hear you correctly? It’s Hiruzen Sarutobi?”

“Sarutobi Hiruzen? He still has the nerve to come here?”

“He just happened to be here, which saves us a trip. Let’s go out and ask him for the kaleidoscope and the position of Hokage! It would be better if he agrees. If he doesn’t agree, we will tie him up and ask for it from the village!”

Hearing the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen, all the Uchiha present exploded. Their words were full of surprise and dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen’s arrival.

Uchiha Homura on the stage was also full of surprise at the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was getting late now, and this was the territory of the Uchiha clan. It would definitely not be possible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to come here at this time. What a trivial matter.

Uchiha Homura narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and finally asked someone to bring Sarutobi Hiruzen here.

A moment later, Sarutobi Hiruzen, led by the Uchiha clan, stepped alone into the Nanga Shrine, a family shrine that the Uchiha clan has inherited for thousands of years.

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared, some jounin could not control his inner emotions, and the Sharingan was activated unconsciously.

And as this Uchiha tribesman’s Sharingan opened, all the Uchiha tribesmen in the shrine seemed to be “infected”, and they opened their own Sharingan intentionally or unintentionally.

In the dim shrine hall, apart from a few firelights, only these pairs of scarlet sharingan eyes were shining brightly on the edge of the darkness.

Just like that, under the gaze of pairs of scarlet sharingan eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in from the gate, walked through the crowd at a leisurely pace, and came to Uchiha Homura.

The two of them just looked at each other in silence less than three meters away.

“Sarutobi-sama has come to visit so late. He must have something important to discuss. I don’t know why?”

Although he was a guest from afar, Uchiha Homura, as the landowner, was the first to speak up and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen about his intentions.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this old rival and acquaintance whom he had competed with openly and covertly for half his life. His face was expressionless, and he sighed secretly in his heart, and then slowly bent down.

In this dark night, in the highest forbidden area of ​​the Uchiha clan, under the gaze of all the jounin of the Uchiha clan, under the incredible eyes of a pair of sharingan eyes, under the surprised look of Uchiha Homura Down.

The ancestor of Konoha’s Hokage, who was once hailed as “the strongest Hokage in history”, slowly bent down, with his legs and knees touching the ground, his head on the ground and his hands supporting his body, facing him in a standard soil seat posture. Looking at Uchiha Homura, he said:

“I have also heard rumors about the ninja world recently… I have no intention of defending myself. I am not to blame for the failure of the ‘Hokage Rock Oath’. All the faults are mine…”

“I also know that this is very unfair to the Uchiha clan, but now is the time for Konoha to unite and unite, and all ninjas need to work hard. The current international situation no longer allows for conflicts between the village and the Uchiha. If the Uchiha If the Bo clan has any dissatisfaction, please vent it on me!”

“For what I did… red bean paste private Marseille!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s soil was like a bombshell, which shocked all the Uchiha present. They were all dizzy, and for a moment they didn’t even hear clearly what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

There is no way, after all, this is the Hokage who has been in charge of Konoha for decades!

Even though he has abdicated now, his identity and status are still there.

Even the most arrogant Uchiha dare to imagine themselves threatening the village, but they also dare not imagine letting Sarutobi Hiruzen give them a seat!

After all, not every Hokage is like Senju Hashirama, who can be called a shame to the strong in terms of moral integrity.

Like everyone present, Uchiha Homura was also in deep shock.

Compared to the rest of the people, he has been dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen for half his life, and his understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen is extremely profound.

He never expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen would abdicate him in front of so many people on this occasion.

However, Uchiha Homura eventually led the Uchiha clan to resist Uchiha Madara’s existence. After a brief shock, he immediately realized the purpose of Sarutobi Hiruzen – thinking that the Uchiha clan would see him as the Third Hokage. For my own sake, I have uncovered this problem.

And that’s exactly what happened.

When he learned about the movements of the Four Ninja Village from Shimura Danzo, especially when the Kirigakure Village targeted Uchiha again, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that it was impossible to solve the Uchiha matter.

Especially when he heard the message from the ANBU ninja, implying that Danzo Shimura would ignore the matter, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not help but feel deeply sad while being angry.

Just as Shimura Danzo thought, he didn’t dare to bet that Shimura Danzo really didn’t care about this matter.

After Shimura Danzo ascended to the position of Hokage, he realized that his old teammate had changed his temper and was no longer the young boy who loved the village.

Under this situation, he didn’t even dare to publicize this matter – internally he had just experienced the deaths of Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Nao, the Hokage’s change of position, and externally there was an anti-Konoha alliance, and now Konoha’s kind of Under the circumstances, it really cannot withstand any setbacks.

So no matter how aggrieved Sarutobi Hiruzen was, he had to come to the Uchiha clan and try every means to resolve the grudges.

“Let Fugaku become Hokage, and this matter will be over.”

Under the gaze of everyone, Uchiha Homura thought for a moment and responded to Hiruzen Sarutobi’s Dogeza.

“You also know that this is impossible.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t even raise his head, still maintaining the posture of Earth’s seat, and replied calmly.

Even if we don’t mention Shimura Danzo’s resistance, here in Konoha, Shimura Danzo has only been the fourth Hokage for a short time. Due to the pressure of external public opinion, the position of Hokage has been changed. If this news spreads, won’t it make others laugh?

“you……”

Someone immediately stood up and wanted to speak out, but was immediately stopped by Uchiha Homura.

His eyes were fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s curved body, his expression serious.

“Then the Mangekyo Sharingan must be returned to us.”

Although the pair of kaleidoscopes had been tested by everyone when they were first displayed by Danzo Shimura, the Mangekyō Sharingan had almost lost its pupil power and became useless, but this can still be said to be the face of the Uchiha clan.

This kaleidoscope, which symbolizes the highest power of the clan, is wandering outside and being studied by people in the village. After all, it is a thorn in Uchiha’s heart.

“……Can.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied with his head on the ground.

The current Mangekyo Sharingan has almost lost its pupil power and is not dangerous at all, so it is controlled by Danzo Shimura as Hokage in the name of research.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn’t know that Shimura Danzo still had the power of Polywood Release + Kaleidoscope, naturally agreed.

Seeing the posture of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Homura immediately realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed here to reconcile with the Uchiha clan this time.

So Uchiha Homura’s heart moved and he immediately stated the last condition.

“One last thing…let Fugaku become the Hokage’s assistant!”

Let Uchiha become Hokage’s assistant?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to refuse, but then he turned around and thought of what Shimura Danzo had just done.

He was also moved in his heart and thought of a good way to contain Shimura Danzo.

If Uchiha Fugaku becomes the Hokage’s assistant, then with Shimura Danzo’s temperament, Uchiha Fugaku will gradually become the opposite of him even if he is unwilling to do so.

Because there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

At that time, Uchiha Fugaku, the Hokage’s assistant, plus him, Koharu who has transferred to the dormitory, and Mito Kadenen, will be able to contain Shimura Danzo!

As for whether Shimura Danzo will agree…

Ah!

Since Shimura Danzo became Hokage, his behavior has already made Koharu and Mito Kaden afraid of him.

Coupled with Shimura Danzo’s miserable reputation in the village, he was almost the same as Uchiha.

Letting Uchiha Fugaku become Hokage will only make the ninjas think that this is a dog-eat-dog situation. Coupled with the support of him, Koharu who has transferred to another dormitory, and Mito Kadenen, it also hints that Danzo Shimura is about to increase his recruitment from the ninjas. With the strength of human hands, it will definitely get the approval of all the ninja clan.

When the time comes, these people will have to agree. Even if Shimura Danzo objects again, what can he do?

“Danzo, I will make you understand…it is not that you can get everyone’s support by becoming Hokage, but you can become Hokage by getting everyone’s support!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally raised his head and agreed to this condition under Uchiha Homura’s expectant eyes.
