Capítulo 71: Chapter 70 : Konoha Council
Konoha Village, Hokage Building, small conference room. Third-generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, two advisors, and the root leader, Shimura Danzo, surrounded the small table. This was the first conference held after the war. After this meeting is over, the patriarchs of the families and the "heroes" in this war will be called together to summarize the war.
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was gloomy, and the faces of the two consultants were not very good-looking either. As for Danzo, the old fuck squinted his eyes halfway. "Danzo, why didn't you show up during the war?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.
Danzo raised his eyes to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said slowly, "I used the root team to monitor the rear of Konoha to prevent the Kingdom of Wind and other small countries from taking advantage of the fire."
This is just a made-up excuse. From the very beginning, Danzo hid underground with his roots. According to what he said, it was to preserve his strength, and if all the others in Konoha died, he could rebuild Konoha himself. Of course, this is actually because of his "Hokage Dream" and because he is afraid of death. But he won't tell anyone; it's not a glorious idea after all.
Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, who were beside him, were also stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Danzo to use such an excuse. Since he said that, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't find any reason to be held accountable, and it was even more difficult to tell the truth from the fake, so he could only give up in silence for a long time.
Afterward, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered, and he spoke again: "In this war, the Uchiha clan has made great contributions. The elite of the enemy country can't stop the power of Sharingan at all." Turning to the side, Homura nodded and said, "It is true that some rewards should be given, especially to Uchiha Natsu, who has a high reputation among many villages."
In Homura Mitokado's view, their original plan was to arrange for the strongest enemy of the Uchiha clan. If the Uchiha clan can repel the enemy, it is also beneficial to Konoha, and if they cannot be repelled, it is still beneficial to Konoha. Now, only one of the results has been achieved. For Konoha, this result is still a good thing.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned when he heard that. If the Uchiha clan can repel the enemy under the premise of normal damage, then he can still accept it. But in fact, the Uchiha clan not only killed the enemy with extremely low casualties but also saved many people. The result of this is that the prestige of the Uchiha clan in the Land of Fire has been raised too high. This is Sarutobi Hiruzen, the last situation he wants to see.
Originally, although the Uchiha clan was an unstable factor, their threat was not too great. Before, the entire Uchiha did not have the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan. On the eve of the war, Shisui Uchiha took the initiative to admit that he had awakened the Mangekyou. To deal with Mangekyou, Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately chose Shisui as the candidate to go to the Land of Thunder. The purpose is to keep Shisui away from the village first, and then consider the situation after passing this mission.
Since then, Sarutobi Hiruzen has raised the threat of the Uchiha clan by a level. At the same time, additional manpower was sent to guard Naruto Uzumaki to prevent Kyuubi from being captured. Those people didn't even participate in this war, and they always protected Nine Tails.
It's just that Uchiha, who has a pair of Mangekyou, is not that big, even if he is threatening. Because Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the reputation of the Uchiha clan was too bad, even if they rebelled, they would be suppressed by other families in the village. With Uchiha's usual style, it is even more impossible to unite with any family, which is equivalent to being alone.
But this time, the threat of the Uchiha clan was directly brought to the apex by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Uchiha's biggest limitation—the relationship between families—is about to disappear. If this continues and the Uchiha clan rebels, the possibility of success will be very high. In addition, the "Akira Senju" he met before was suspected to be the root person. Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought up this matter at this time. It was for Danzo.
The purpose is to hint to Danzo that as long as he takes the initiative to ask Akira to deal with Uchiha, then the two biggest threats will be confronted by himself. In this regard, Sarutobi Hiruzen has never said it explicitly and has always hinted at it to avoid falling into the mouth. Danzo, on the other hand, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He originally thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen would propose a deal with Uchiha. But unexpectedly, not only did he not propose to deal with Uchiha, but he wanted to reward Uchiha instead. This is unacceptable to Danzo, so he immediately said: "No, the prestige of the Uchiha clan is so high that it will pose a great threat to the village!" Turning to the side, he frowned and said, "Let's take this opportunity to reward Uchiha and win them over, and they will settle down."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, seeming to think it made sense. Danzo felt anxious and hurriedly said, "The Uchiha family tends to go to extremes and is extremely ambitious. Now they still have the Mangekyou Sharingan and their reputation has improved."
"On the battlefield, Uchiha helped many families. Just imagine: If the current Uchiha rebels, who can guarantee that those families will not help Uchiha?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "That's true, but it's Shisui who got the Mangekyou Sharingan. He probably won't help Uchiha's rebellion." Turning to Side, Koharu and Mitokado also nodded, agreeing with Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement Danzo knocked on his crutches, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't forget Uchiha's performance in this battle."
"Their strength is stronger than we imagined. Even if Uchiha Shisui doesn't help on both sides, the power of those dozens of pairs of Sharingan alone cannot be ignored." The other three fell into contemplation; Danzo saw this and continued: "With the help of other families and Sharingan, Konoha will be in crisis again by then!" Turning to Side, Hokage pondered for a while, then shook his head and said,
"We've just gone through a war, so it's better not to cause extra problems. Now, I don't know how many countries and ninja villages are staring at us."
Danzo slowly relaxed, eyes half-closed again: "Leave this matter to my roots, and I will take care of all the things to eradicate Uchiha."
"If Uchiha's demise becomes a fact, then other families will see the situation." After finishing speaking, Danzo became quiet, and the old fuck was rubbing his crutches on the ground. Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a while, then shook his head.
"At a time like this, you must not kill each other. Just find a way to suppress their reputation and do it more covertly." Immediately afterward, he added, "This is all for the sake of Konoha, and it is a last resort." Danzo wanted to continue to insist on destroying Uchiha but looking at the expressions of the other three, he knew that this was already impossible. Without the support of Sarutobi Hiruzen, even if he destroys Uchiha, he can only escape in the end.
At that time, Hokage will become a pipe dream that is always out of reach. Therefore, Danzo could only take a step back, nod, and say, "Leave it to me; it won't be too much trouble for the time being."
