Uchiha's Taishu Supreme

Chapter 68 The Will of Fire
Konoha, Naruto Building.

Danzo stood aside, admiring Sandai's complex expression of shock and anger.

The third generation took a thick report and picked out a list of ninjas from it. In a rare gaffe, he roared angrily:
"Has the promotion mechanism for ninjas in the village become so corrupt?!"

"There is still a large amount of Anbu involved. What's going on, I need an explanation!"

"Let Minister Anbu come to see me as quickly as possible!"

Under the shadows, an Anbu left quickly after hearing Sandai's order.

But what no one saw was that Anbu's face behind the mask was covered with cold sweat.

"Has the power leveling incident finally been exposed?"

Danzo looked at the angry third generation next to him, sneered secretly in his heart, and began to figure out how to get the most benefit from this incident.

Although the current Danzo is still the actual controller of the roots, he was deprived of the position of Assistant Hokage because of the false transmission of the Hokage order.

Danzo needs Hokage to assist this position, so as to ensure that at critical moments, he is the person closest to the position of Hokage.

"Hi Zhan, we underestimated Uchiha Fanma, to use such a vicious method to destroy the operation of the village."

"For Uchiha Fanma's behavior, I think it must be a heavy blow!"

Danzo observed Sandai's face and said in a deep voice.

After this war, Sandai immediately asked Danzo to investigate the reasons for Konoha Ninja's sluggish combat power.

As Hokage, he is very concerned and sensitive about this matter.

The third generation vaguely felt that there was a huge shady scene in the village, but they were kept in the dark.

Danzo quickly arrested a large number of suspected ninjas based on previous mission reports, and even used illusions for torture.

Soon, the entire underground power leveling network was dug out by Danzo, and the statistics became a detailed report, as well as a list of participating ninjas, which were sent to the third generation's table.

"What's the matter, father?"

"Snapped!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke rushed over in a hurry, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he received a resounding slap from Midai.

Three generations furiously pressed the list on Shinnosuke's face, and asked sharply:

"Tell me, what's going on?!"

The third generation was surprisingly angry. In his heart, the severity of this matter in his heart was no less than the direct rebellion of the Uchiha clan.

This is challenging the will of fire, digging up the roots of Konoha, and a vicious plan to make Konoha's interior collapse and disintegrate.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke took the list and looked at it, he understood immediately, and remained silent.

"I asked you to be the Minister of Anbu to protect the village, not to send money to the Uchiha clan!"

"Do you understand what Anbu is? Anbu is a team directly under Hokage, and it is the only weapon that can be held in my hands to check and balance those ninjas!"

"You, Anbu Minister, I think it's better to just go to the Uchiha clan and become an elder. You have been able to hide it from me for five years!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke still remained silent, and Sandai's anger became more vigorous, and he kicked him down directly.

"What do you think Anbu is? Is it the officialdom of the Daming Prefecture? This is Konoha, the ninja village founded by Master Hashirama and Tomona!"

"Tell me why you did it, and what it is all about!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at the furious third generation, and smiled with relief, stood up slowly, and said:

"I also have a question, I've wanted to ask the three generations of adults for a long time."

"Can you tell me what is the will of fire?"

Midai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shinnosuke Sarutobi to ask such a basic question.

Before Sandai could say anything, Sarutobi Shinnosuke answered by himself:
"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is endless."

"That is to say, young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifices of the older generation are not meaningless, but will inspire young people to become the pillars of the future."

Seeing Shinnosuke's abnormal reaction, Midai turned his head and glanced at Danzo, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke had a mocking smile on his lips, and continued:
"So, Uchiha Fanma sacrificed himself and passed on his achievements to the younger generation of ninjas. Isn't that the embodiment of the will of fire?"

The third generation was furious, and there was even a trace of murderous look in the eyes of the son in front of him.

But Sarutobi Shinnosuke was unmoved.

"Although Uchiha Fanma sold the credit to others, none of them were fake, and they were all real gains."

"As for why he did this, I think the third generation and Danzo-sama should understand why in their hearts, right?"

"As the head of Anbu, how should I appease such a powerful subordinate who has made countless contributions but has not received what he deserves?"

"Should I use the will of fire to tell him that as Uchiha, he should burn selflessly so as to illuminate the leaves of this village?"

The third generation stared at Sarutobi Shinnosuke dumbfounded, and Danzo was also surprised.

None of them would have thought that, as the son of three generations, Sarutobi Shinnosuke would say such rebellious words.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke showed a relaxed smile, and continued:

"I have been educated by the will of fire since I was a child, and I also regard the will of fire as my creed in life, but I am confused because of this."

"If it weren't for Asma, I might still be immersed in confusion now."

The third generation frowned, Asma was his youngest son, just a kid who had just entered ninja school.

"Asma told me that the will of fire is to reward those who make contributions, punish those who make mistakes, the strong help the weak, and the weak help the strong."

"I think Asma is right, what do you think, Lord Three?"

The third generation had a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice:

"You still don't understand the things in the village, and your thinking is too simple."

Before Sandai could finish speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke tore off the ministerial armband on his shoulder, and gently placed it on Sandai's desk.

"Three generations of adults, all the mistakes are borne by me alone. I will leave Konoha and go to the Land of Fire to serve as the guardian of the Twelve Ninja Warriors. I hope that there, I can truly understand what the will of fire is."

After finishing speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke bowed deeply to Midai, and left without looking back.

Seeing the figure of his son leaving, the third generation fell powerlessly on the seat, feeling in a mess.

He never thought that even his own son would have doubts about the will of fire, and even went to Daming Mansion to find the truth.

But Danzo looked at the weak appearance of the third generation, but handed over another piece of information, and said mockingly:
"The problem with Orochimaru is also very serious. He has embezzled a large amount of scientific research funds for his own research."

In this war, Fan Ma, Hatake Sakumo, and Orochimaru are the three brightest new stars.

But Danzo is very clear that among the three, only Orochimaru is likely to inherit the position of Hokage.

As long as Orochimaru is brought down, Hokage's hat will be one step closer to him.

　Thanks to kintuen and Fu Pang Zuo for their rewards!
