Uchiha's Blade

After Danzo slammed the door angrily and left, Sandai finally spoke: "Mana, Danzo has indeed done a lot for Konoha over the years. It would be chilling to drive him away like this."

He still couldn't bear Danzo after all.

Although Mito Kado and Koharu didn't speak, judging from their expressions, they probably had the same idea as the third generation.

Although they did not support Danzo in person, after Danzo left, they hoped to persuade Mana in private to be a little gentler on Danzo and not to be too cold, which would inevitably colden people's hearts.

Mana said: "You didn't say this in front of Danzo because you essentially support me and don't want to give him a chance to continue to struggle with me. I'm grateful for this, but on the other hand, this I am afraid that this support is also due to the fact that you know very well that the things Danzo has done over the years are not all so-called 'good things', right? For his own selfish desires, he could attack me back then, let alone other people? I Guess, you are probably well aware of what he has done over the years."

Mito Kadoen said: "Even if this is the case, Danzo is still at his age after all. We cannot bear to face such a desolate old age when we are old."

Zhenna said: "So you still hope that I can give him a chance, right? In this case, I might as well make it clearer. I just came back from yesterday, and until this morning, in less than a day, I saw I have seen more things that make me angry than in the past many years combined. I will not let it go. This is the village where Teacher Hashirama’s dream is entrusted. I will never allow it to rot and degenerate like this. For this reason, I will definitely make a lot of moves in the next period of time. You know better than me what happened to Danzo. So I ask you, if it really comes down to liquidation, can Danzo be able to shoulder this responsibility? I now allow him to resign on his own initiative. Retirement is out of consideration for his companionship, and also considering that he has indeed done something for Konoha over the years. I hope to leave him a decent old age. As long as he can retire honestly and become a peaceful old man from now on, he Even if things in the past are wiped out, I will no longer pursue old accounts, I think, otherwise, the future will really be miserable."

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other and understood the meaning of Mana's words.

They do know that Danzo has done a lot of inappropriate things while contributing to Konoha over the years. If Mana really pursues the case, it may be difficult to end it. By then, the scene may be even more ugly than it is now. hundred times.

"In that case, we have no other opinion."

Mana nodded: "Thank you both for your support, but Danzo... he has always been stubborn and I'm afraid he won't give up easily. For his own good, I asked you to enlighten and persuade him."

This requires the two consultants to clearly stand in line and work with her to put pressure on Danzo, forcing Danzo not to make too many small moves.

Of course, on the other hand, it is indeed for his own good to try not to give Danzo the chance to make more mistakes.

Xiaochun turned to bed and said, "Don't worry, Men Yan and I will talk to him again later."

Zhenna nodded: "So, do you have any other questions about me?"

Sandai said: "I have no other questions. What are the opinions of the two consultants?"

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan went to bed and said, "We don't have any anymore either."

"Very well, since you don't have any more questions, let's talk about my problems."

Mana glanced at the third generation: "I picked up the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki when I went back yesterday. I think the ANBU should have reported this to you?"

After hearing this report yesterday, the third generation knew that Mana would definitely talk to him about this issue. It was not a surprise at this time: "Mana, Naruto's identity is a secret, whether it is as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki or as the son of the Fourth Generation. It's not time to reveal his identity now. A mysterious figure appeared on the night the Kyuubi attacked Konoha. We are worried that exposing Naruto's identity too early may cause him unnecessary danger."

Mana said: "Of course I can understand this, but the monkey, whether it is for confidentiality or protection, his living situation is too bad, not to mention that I did not personally experience what happened back then, so I cannot make too much judgment on it. , I can only say that Konoha’s current way of handling this is the stupidest way of handling it.”

Xiaochun turned to bed and said, "We have no choice but to..."

"We have no choice but to let a child of a hero who sacrificed himself to save the village live on the minimum subsidy and be insulted and stoned every day?"

Mana said: "No matter how forced we are, the fact that all of us must admit is that the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato is the hero who protected Konoha, and Uzumaki Naruto is his child. Therefore, I have to have a Question, when Konoha treats the orphans of heroes like this, do any other ninjas dare to sacrifice their lives for the village?"

The third generation was stunned. He thought Mana was going to accuse him of not taking good care of Naruto, but he didn't expect that what she suddenly mentioned was another thing.

"Monkey, Koharu, Men Yan, if you are the ninjas of the village, when you see that even the orphan of the Fourth Hokage can only live in such humiliation, are you still willing to sacrifice for Konoha? Wouldn't you consider it? , if you die, what kind of situation will the lives of your parents, wife, and children be reduced to? If every ninja in Konoha thinks this way... No, as long as half of the ninjas think this way, Konoha will be only a few steps away from destruction. Not far away.”

Sandai was speechless for a moment.

Xiaochun turned to bed and said, "But we really didn't have a better way at that time..."

"You do, it's just that none of you are willing to think about an orphan. Anyway, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato is just a commoner. Anyway, the country of Uzumaki has been destroyed. Why bother to think so much about an orphan who has nothing? So you guys After I found the so-called reason for keeping it secret and convinced myself that it was for his own good to ignore him, I really felt at ease."

Mana knocked on the table: "For so many years, no villager has known Uzumaki Naruto's identity. Aren't you doing a good job of keeping it secret? What if you find an ordinary family to adopt him? You don't need to be rich, you just have to have no food and clothing. It's okay to worry, even if he just grew up as a civilian's child, you can also say that this is to protect him. Of course, you can say that he is the child of a ninja. You can find a ninja to raise him at such an old age. Konoha, can't you even find a ninja you can trust? Or is it that after the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to protect the village, no one is willing to raise the Fourth Hokage's orphan?"

Mana's tone was almost sad: "I walked around the streets of Konoha yesterday. Konoha is many times more prosperous now than it was back then. Konoha's situation is not bad, and it is fully capable of taking care of a hero's child. If we are unwilling to think more about them and take care of the orphans of heroes when we are able, then when Konoha really encounters difficulties and faces tests, why should we ask them to fight for the village? "

"Monkey, this is not a problem that you can solve by saying I'm sorry to Naruto or the Fourth Generation, because this has never affected only the Fourth Generation or Naruto. We in Konoha talk about the Will of Fire, even the heroes. What kind of will of fire is this when there is no one to take care of the orphans?!"

The third generation and the two consultants did not dare to speak at this time, and Koharu and Mito Kadoyan, who had gone to bed, lowered their heads and pretended to be invisible.

Because they can't refute it.

Naturally, Uchiha Mana has always been like this. From decades ago to now, the decades they have lived longer than her have not changed anything. On the contrary, they have added countless reasons for themselves to feel guilty.

Mana said: "Monkey, you are the Hokage now. How to deal with this matter next is up to you."

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Menen lowered their heads a little, as if the ordinary wooden table in the Hokage's office suddenly bloomed with flowers, as if they had never seen such a beautiful table.

The third Hokage who was named could not imitate the two advisers and pretend to be dead. He thought for a while and said carefully: "Mana, next, as you said, we will improve Naruto's living conditions as soon as possible. When the Nine-Tails attacked , there are also many ordinary ninjas who died in the village, let's just say... let's just say that Naruto is the child of a certain ninja who died. He was just busy after the war and missed it for a while. This way, there is a reason to compensate him. In addition, I will give it to him as soon as possible. He has found suitable people to take care of him. Before Naruto reaches adulthood, all basic expenses of life will be taken care of by the village. What do you think of this?"

Mana rolled her eyes at him: "I have begun to sympathize with Tobirama-sama..."

The implication is that after she left that year, how desperate Senju Tobirama felt when choosing the successor of Hokage.

Three generations: "..."

At this moment, Sandai felt that it was simply too difficult for him.

He thought for a while and added: "I will go to Naruto to apologize and hope to gain his understanding."

Zhenna glanced at him: "What else?"

The third generation felt like he was facing the teacher's questions in class. This damn sense of déjà vu even reminded him of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama.

But he really couldn't think of anything else that needed to be made up for.

He will definitely treat Naruto well in the future, isn't that enough?

Mana sighed: "You need to announce clear criteria for identifying hero orphans or widows. Ninja is a high-risk profession. It is impossible for the village to take care of all the sacrificed ninja families, so you have to make a distinction. What kind of The situation, what kind of treatment you can get, write all these clearly, and then really show it to all the ninjas in the village to gain their trust. It is not enough for Uzumaki Naruto alone. If you only care about him, After his identity is exposed in the future, someone will think that you are good to him. This is the privilege of the Hokage orphan. This kind of thinking is also absolutely unacceptable. Monkey, it has been decades. Do you dare to say that to me? Do you think Konoha has any clear regulations regarding the care of the families of injured and injured ninjas?"

There are regulations, of course, but they have never been divided in too much detail.

Zhenna glanced at the two consultants who were still pretending to be transparent: "Okay, you three can figure this out together. After all, I don't know enough about the current village. There are many things that involve detailed operations. It’s a matter of consideration, it’s not something I can decide.”

The third generation nodded repeatedly: "No problem, no problem."

Mana didn't even bother to talk about him anymore.

However, Uzumaki Naruto's matter can be considered a temporary solution. Mana is most concerned about another question: "Why do I feel that Uchiha's current situation in the village is not good?"

Although the Uchiha clan was not a particularly popular family back then, it was not as controversial as it is now. In addition, Mana glanced at the Uchiha clan and felt that their level of alert was simply not the same. It's in my own village.

When the Uchiha clan was mentioned, the third generation and the two advisors looked sad.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "This matter is a bit special, I'd better let the Hokage tell you."

Sandai was stunned: "Huh?"

No, why did you dump it on him suddenly?

Koharu turned to bed and said: "You are the Hokage, and you must be responsible for the Hokage. The Uchiha clan is also a very powerful clan in the village and has an important position. It is naturally more appropriate for you to deal with their affairs."

Three generations: "..."

No, I think you just didn't dare to tell Uchiha Mana that we were planning to exterminate the clan.

But Sandai's successive hesitations made Mana look at him: "Monkey?"

The third generation had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Actually, it's like this... Recently we received news that the Uchiha clan has plans to rebel."

Although the third generation said this sentence with insufficient confidence and his voice was very weak, the content of this sentence was like a thunder exploding in Mana's ears.

"How is it possible - no, at least you won't joke about this kind of thing to me. So, Uchiha really has plans to rebel? What's the reason?"

Back then, the Uchiha clan would rather abandon Uchiha Madara than leave Konoha. How could they want to rebel now?

Can a family really change this much in just a few decades?

The third generation said: "The news about this matter is absolutely accurate. As for Uchiha's detailed thoughts... we can't say more, but it is true that an Uchiha tribesman who inherited the will of fire informed us of the news. Why not... let him come To you?"

The third generation really did not have the courage to tell Mana in detail about the conflicts between the Uchiha clan and the village over the years. Although the Uchiha clan was unruly and ambitious, they were also extremely powerful and fought for Konoha in several ninja wars. The huge contribution he made, if calculated in detail, it is simply a bad debt.

Previously, it was because Danzo had the firmest attitude and others could not come up with any better solutions that the Uchiha genocide was put on the agenda for discussion. Now that Danzo has lost power, Uchiha Mana has reappeared. The Third Hokage's old habit relapsed. He always wanted to be a good person, but he naturally became hesitant at this time.

What's more... who can say in front of Uchiha Mana that he wants to exterminate the Uchiha clan?

Mana doesn't mind who talks about this matter, as long as he can explain it clearly.

So soon, a young man with slightly curly hair wearing the costume of the Uchiha clan was called over. He was obviously a little surprised to see Mana, an Uchiha, present.

The third generation said: "Mana, this is Uchiha Shisui, the young man I said who inherited the will of fire from the Uchiha clan."

Mana looked at Uchiha Shisui's curly hair, which was relatively rare among the Uchiha clan, and his somewhat familiar facial features, and couldn't help but ask: "He and Kagami are..."

The third generation nodded: "Shisui is a descendant of Kagami."

Zhenna suddenly realized: "I see, if he is the descendant of Kagami, this would not be so surprising."

Uchiha Shisui obviously didn't understand the situation.

The Third Hokage and two advisors were present, and the atmosphere was not very relaxed. This was obviously a very serious occasion, but what was going on with that little girl?

I've never seen one among the Uchiha clan.

After hearing the other party mention the Uchiha Mirror, Uchiha Shisui became even more confused.

Seemingly seeing his confusion, Sandai took the initiative to introduce: "Shisui, this is Mana, she is... Kagami's friend from back then."

Zhenna said: "You are going to scare the children by saying this. I don't look like someone of the same generation as you, do I?"

Then she turned to Uchiha Shisui and said: "Hello, I am Uchiha Mana, a disciple of the first Hokage. Because of an accident that year, I traveled through time and appeared in the present."

Shisui: "...?"

Sandaime: "I think this introduction is not as good as mine... I'll shut up."

After successfully shutting up the third generation with a threatening look, Mana said to Uchiha Shisui: "Sit down and tell me about the Uchiha clan. I heard that the clan has been unstable recently?"

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but look at the Third Hokage, who nodded to him: "Tell me, you can trust Mana just like you trust your closest elder."

Uchiha Shisui: "..."

No matter how you look at it, he can't treat that little girl who looks like she's only in her teens as an elder, right?

But he still told Mana about the Uchiha clan in detail, as seriously as he reported to the Hokage before.

Mana felt a little unbelievable until she finished listening: "So, what have you been doing all these years? Why is it that the relationship between the village and Uchiha has not only not been healed, but the rift has become bigger than before?"

Uchiha Shisui said: "During this period, there have been a lot of complaints about Uchiha in the village, and the clan is also very dissatisfied with the village. The clan members have suffered many grievances, and their attitude is inevitably a little rough when dealing with affairs. The police force is It is a position that is easily criticized by others, and now it is even more difficult for Uchiha to get along well with everyone."

Mana said: "The police force was established during Tobirama-sama's time, right? It has been in use until today without any reform?"

Sandai moved his butt, he had a premonition that he was going to be scolded again.

really……

"Monkey, don't touch me. Just talk."

The third generation said: "This... the Konoha Guard has always been controlled by the Uchiha clan. They have the final say on most things. The village does not have much room to intervene, otherwise it will easily cause the Uchiha to backlash."

Mana: "...So you just lie down and sleep next to Tobirama-sama's policy? You are the Hokage!"

Third Generation: "When the teacher handed over the security force to the Uchiha clan, there were many voices of disapproval, but the teacher said that it was a trust in the Uchiha clan, and it was also a test. What's more, you were no longer in the village at that time, and you lost Without you, new trust will be established between the village and Uchiha."

Mana: "...Tobirama-sama is so miserable."

Three generations: "???"

On the other hand, Mito Kadoyan saw that the third generation looked really pitiful and couldn't help but said: "Mana, if you have something to say, just say it. We...can bear it."

Mana sighed: "Master Tobirama has made it very obvious. It is both trust and a test. It is not only his trust in the Uchiha clan, but also the village's trust in the Uchiha clan. He hopes that everyone can Trusting the Uchiha clan is also a test. This test is not only for the Uchiha clan, but also for the Hokage. Master Tobirama does this precisely because he understands Uchiha, and Uchiha will invest deep emotions in the things he values. They will do everything they can to protect Konoha and let Uchiha set up a guard force. They hope that the Uchiha clan can protect Konoha like they protect their beloved things. I also hope that everyone can see their efforts, but this cannot be accomplished by just one party. matter, so the role of the Hokage in it is very crucial, you are not thinking about this at all, are you all thinking about the power struggle with the Uchiha clan?"

The third generation and the two advisors all lowered their heads.

Mana: "..."

Tobirama-sama is so miserable!

Mana could simply imagine how Senju Tobirama, who was focused on cultivating the next generation of Konoha at that time, felt when he tried hard to put the reference answers under the noses of several disciples, but they all turned a blind eye.

No wonder the final Hokage test was just to see if the other party had the determination to sacrifice his life to protect the village.

Even Mana couldn't help but press his forehead at this moment: "What makes me unbelievable the most is that in this current situation, your choice is... to solve the problem of the Uchiha clan through genocide. question?"

Uchiha Shisui seemed to have heard the news for the first time. He suddenly showed an anxious look: "Lord Hokage! It's not that time yet, and I have activated the Mangekyo Sharingan. My abilities can be changed by other gods. The will of others, if the patriarch insists on launching a coup, you can let me change his will, I..."

'Boom! '

Mana hit her head on the table, showing an expression of extreme pain.

Lord Tobirama, you are so miserable!

Her reaction gave Shisui hope, and he quickly said: "Master Mana, you...you don't agree with the plan to exterminate the clan, right?"

Mana slowly raised his head: "I've never heard of a stupider plan than this, seriously."

She simply knocked on the table: "Come on, come on, Zhenna's small class has started, please listen carefully!"

Shisui, the child, immediately sat upright.

Mana said: "The problem of the Uchiha clan is indeed the most serious problem now, but the core of this problem is not that the Uchiha clan wants a coup, but that the top management of the village cannot coordinate the relationship between the family and the Ninja Village. The Uchiha clan They have contributed to Konoha and made countless contributions, so they need to seek more recognition and need more power and trust in return. However, the top leaders of the village are not willing to see a family become more powerful than them. They do not want to Giving up the right to speak, so rifts naturally arise. This is no surprise. No one is willing to do just work without payment. The Nine-Tails attack that year made the village suspicious of Uchiha, and Uchiha also Therefore, he only contributed a limited amount of power in the village-wide catastrophe. This was due to the restrictions of the village. But after that, the village just allowed other ninjas and villagers to criticize the Uchiha, and at the same time, it deepened its hatred of the Uchiha clan. As for the Uchiha clan, they are naturally more aggrieved. I know very well that Uchiha's character is indeed easy to be stubborn. Uchiha has never been synonymous with calmness. On the contrary, Uchiha's emotions are the most intense. It formed a vicious circle, and finally reached the point where it is now, so I think you all have no objection?"

Seeing that several people were silent, Mana continued: "So let's assume that the Uchiha clan is really exterminated. Will this problem be solved later? No, after losing the Uchiha clan, things still need to be done by people, then The person who made the meritorious service is either Uchiha or someone else. As long as the village still exists and as long as the brainless approach of the village's top management does not change, this contradiction will always exist until Konoha loses its status as a great ninja village and completely declines. The so-called genocide The handling method only destroys the appearance of the problem. I prefer to call it a lazy evasion behavior when the ability is insufficient, rather than a solution to the problem, because the problem still exists, but the outbreak of the problem has been temporarily delayed, and it has never been solved. On the other hand, the other villagers saw that it was not Uchiha who brought about his own destruction, but the bloody methods of the village. It didn't matter the clan that founded the village, and it didn't matter if they had made countless contributions. If the village couldn't accommodate it, they would still be exterminated with thunderous means. After this incident, the major ninja clan in the village will probably be honest for a while, because everyone is afraid and dare not step forward when encountering trouble. They dare not compete for the lead on the battlefield. It also coincides with a Konoha whose strength has been greatly reduced after losing Uchiha. The situation in the ninja world may become very interesting at that time."

Sandai said: "Then what do you think we should do?"

After all, Uchiha is the largest clan in Konoha, and the Sharingan is also an extremely good blood successor. He has made countless contributions since the founding of the village. The Senju clan has almost died. If the Uchiha clan is also destroyed, then Konoha His face is too ugly.

Mana said: "You are so sure about the genocide. I'm afraid you have more than one intelligence source, Uchiha Shisui?"

The third generation was silent for a while before he said: "And Uchiha Itachi, he is the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader."

"Ah, Uchiha Itachi," Mana said, "I have heard of this name."

The kid named Sasuke said that Uchiha Itachi was the genius ninja of this generation of the Uchiha clan.

But he didn't expect that he was the clan leader's child.

By the way, even the clan leader's children don't agree with it, and Uchiha Shisui is currently one of the top strongmen of the Uchiha clan. Under such circumstances, Uchiha still insists on a coup, and his brain is not much better than that of the top management of Konoha. ah.

Mana thought for a while and said: "Shisui, go and invite Uchiha Itachi and the clan leaders of this generation."

Uchiha Shisui glanced at the Hokage who was pretending to be dead next to him, and nodded respectfully: "Yes, Lord Mana."

After Uchiha Shisui left, Mana praised: "This kid is good at using the teleportation technique. Have you learned how to fly the Thunder God?"

Three generations: "..."

How could the village teach Uchiha the important ninjutsu of the Second Hokage?

But this is definitely not something that can be said to Mana.

...Mana can fly Thunder God herself, and she was taught by the Second Hokage himself. How can I say this?

After thinking about it, the third generation said: "After the second generation passed away, most of his ninjutsu were recorded and preserved in the sealed book. Not everyone can learn it."

Zhenna nodded: "That's right. Except for Water Release, most of Tobirama-sama's ninjutsu are forbidden techniques. It's really not easy to teach people casually."

After going to bed, Koharu suddenly asked after a long silence: "What are your plans for asking Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi to come over?"

Mana said: "It's nothing, just try to communicate and coordinate. Teacher Hashirama and Master Tobirama both hope that I will complete the integration of Uchiha into Konoha. Although it is a little late now, I will always work hard so as not to let them down." .”

Probably because the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan is really tense now, even the leader of the Uchiha clan hesitated when he suddenly received an invitation from the top of the village. Of course, it may also be because of a dispute within the clan, so Mana waited for a while. Just met Uchiha Fugaku.

Just like when he faced Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku also looked a little surprised when he saw Mana, and Mana adopted the same statement as before.

Uchiha Fugaku's reaction was faster than Shisui's: "Mana-sama... I once heard the leader of the Kagami clan mention you."

When the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village became increasingly divided, Uchiha Fugaku once heard Uchiha Kagami say that it would be great if Mana was still here.

Mana said: "After so many years, I really regret not being able to see the mirror for the last time."

This time, the person sitting down was Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Shisui stood behind him. This at least gave Uchiha Fugaku a certain degree of support, indicating that Uchiha Shisui had not completely fallen to the top of Konoha. Thus ignoring the Uchiha clan.

Mana asked: "I heard Itachi's name. Didn't the child come?"

Uchiha Fugaku said: "Itachi still has something to do, so I'll come over first."

Zhenna said oh, waited for a while and said: "It seems that he has finished his work, Shisui, go out and greet him."

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes changed slightly. He didn't expect Mana's perception to be so sharp. Judging from the distance between Itachi and the Hokage's house, it should have been far beyond the perception range of ordinary ninjas.

Shisui quickly brought Uchiha Itachi in.

He is a young boy, who seems to be about the same age as Mana, but his expression does not have the liveliness and wantonness of a young man, but has an air of maturity.

Mana said: "Shisui should have already told me my identity?... Very good, I don't need to introduce it again."

After saying this, she said to Uchiha Fugaku: "Clan Chief Fugaku, you are the Uchiha clan leader of this generation, so there is one thing I think it would be best to discuss with you."

Uchiha Fugaku said calmly: "Please tell me."

Mana said: "I heard about the frequent gatherings of the Uchiha clan recently to plot a coup, but I also heard about the village's original plan to deal with it...the village planned to exterminate the Uchiha clan."

"what--"

Even Uchiha Fugaku couldn't maintain a calm expression at this moment. He never expected to hear these words.

Since both Shisui and Itachi appeared here, he guessed that the village must have known about the Uchiha clan's plot to coup, but he never expected that Mana would directly tell the village's plan, or give such a sensational answer.

Mana said: "Now that both sides have shown their cards, then, Chief Fugaku, which side do you think is more likely to succeed?"

Uchiha Fugaku's face has darkened deeply: "Humph, do you need to say this? Now that I am here, you can kill me. In this way, the possibility of a coup for the Uchiha clan will naturally be greatly reduced!"

Mana smiled softly: "Chief Fugaku, don't say that."

She comforted him with gentle words: "Don't worry, you are far from that important."

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly choked, unsure whether her words were friendly or sarcastic.

Mana didn't care about his expression: "In fact, you and I both know that at this point, it will be difficult for the Uchiha clan's coup to succeed. The reason why I invited you here is because of what I heard from Shisui's description. You are not a crazy Uchiha clan leader who will do whatever it takes to get power. You have reached this point more because you are complying with the will of your clan. You are driven to this point by the dissatisfaction and fierce attitude of the clan. One step.”

Uchiha Fugaku said: "In this case, you should also understand that there is no chance between the Uchiha clan and the village. I can't ignore the will of the clan, not to mention that the clan has indeed suffered a lot of grievances in recent years, and everyone has grievances. Normal, not to mention... not to mention that as the clan that founded the village, the Senju produced two Hokages, but our Uchiha clan was excluded. The third Hokage was from the small ninja clan, and the fourth Hokage was from the civilian ninja. If nothing else, , the next generation of Hokage will not be an Uchiha. Compared with the first generation, the Uchiha clan seems to be in full swing and powerful. In fact, it has long been separated from the center of power in the village. In addition to a Konoha guard, we still have have what?!"

Now that his cards have been shown, Uchiha Fugaku simply stopped hiding and vented all the Uchiha's grievances over the years.

"We have worked so hard to protect Konoha, and how many clan members have we sacrificed for this? But what we get in return is always complaints and disgust. The Kyuubi incident was obviously caused by the village's obstruction, but in the end it was said that it was Uchiha who did not care about the lives of the villagers. Hiding to conserve strength, I think those suspicions are just excuses made by the village to weaken the Uchiha clan!"

Mana said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Monkeys were not very smart back then. Our original plan for the Uchiha clan was not like this."

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What's the use of talking about this now, since the village has made up its mind, it's just a winner and a loser."

Mana: "...I would say that Uchiha's IQ has dropped drastically now."

Uchiha Fuyue: "..."

Why is this a personal attack?

Zhenna said: "If I really wanted to win against you, I would have already sent people to set an ambush against you, so why bother talking to you so much."

Uchiha Fugaku said: "You mean... you want to resolve this matter peacefully?"

Mana said: "None of us want to see the worst result. Now that the bottom line has been drawn clearly, we can now negotiate on this basis. At worst, if the talks fail, Uchiha will continue to prepare for a coup and the village will continue to prepare for genocide. No big deal."

Uchiha Fugaku said: "But given the current situation within the clan, it may be difficult to realize your idea."

Mana naturally understands how terrifying an Uchiha can be if he becomes paranoid, let alone a group of Uchiha now.

"Uchiha are a very interesting clan. They have strong emotions and can't bear any tenderness. If others treat them well, they will feel awkward and uncomfortable. Therefore, you must not be too harsh when dealing with Uchiha."

Mana smiled at Uchiha Fugaku: "Just before you came, Danzo felt that he was old and his health was not good, so he had already planned to resign."

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned: "Danzo?!"

Of course he knew very well what a tough and radical person Danzo was. It could be said that Danzo was indispensable for the conflict between Uchiha and the village to intensify to this point.

How could such a person suddenly want to go home to retire?

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the Third Hokage and then at the two advisors. Seeing that they didn't have any objections, he suddenly understood what happened.

All these changes can only be because of Uchiha Mana!

To be able to force Danzo to step down in such a short period of time, how terrible are Uchiha Mana's methods?

The initial slight contempt due to Mana's age was instantly put away, and the excited look on Uchiha Fugaku's face also subsided. He said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"

Without Danzo interfering, it seemed possible to have a good conversation.

Mana said: "I plan to open the ANBU to the Uchiha clan. Don't look like this. The current Uchiha have no power at all in the ANBU. Even if there are clan members who join the ANBU, they are just ordinary ANBU members. I don't want an ANBU captain, or even Is it… Anbu Buchou?”

This is too tempting an offer.

Uchiha Fugaku felt excited for a moment, but he quickly calmed down: "I'm afraid things are not that simple."

Mana said: "Of course, the corresponding thing is that you can no longer serve as the leader of the Uchiha clan."

This time Uchiha Fugaku was really stunned: "Me?"

He thought about many possibilities, and even thought that Mana would attack the police force, but he did not expect that the knife would come directly towards him.

Mana said: "It's very simple. As long as you are still in the position of clan leader, the direction of the Uchiha trend will not change. As the clan leader, you have already agreed to the coup. Some of the Uchiha clan members agree, and some do not. In any case, you have become the representative of the group of people who agree, which also means that you are divided from the small group of people who disagree. If you change your attitude, you will lose the support of the coup party, and you will also have to If you don’t have the trust of the party that opposes the coup, then what use is there for you as the patriarch? It’s better to just replace him.”

Uchiha Fuyue: "..."

Mana said: "A new patriarch will succeed you, which will form a change of power. It is normal for some changes to occur during this period. You can continue to lead the coup party, which is more convenient."

Uchiha Fugaku said: "In that case, I have nothing to say. If you can keep your promise and really give the Uchiha clan a corresponding status in the ANBU, then it will be okay for me to step down."

This is good for the entire Uchiha clan. No matter who the clan leader is, the benefits are always given to the Uchiha.

After thinking about it, Uchiha Fugaku suggested: "In that case, let Itachi..."

"How about Shisui, the next generation clan leader?"

Uchiha Fugaku choked up: "Shisui is indeed very good, but how do you tell the clan members?"

Mana said: "Itachi will stay in the ANBU. Let him be the squad leader first to show his attitude. You can always handle the rest of the matter by yourself. You don't need anyone's guidance."

Uchiha Fugaku understood.

Uchiha Itachi was his son, so it was destined that Uchiha Itachi could not become the next clan leader, otherwise it would be a father-son battle. That scene would not only be ugly, but would also make their respective followers worried.

And Shisui is a young and powerful person of the Uchiha generation, and he has always disapproved of launching a coup. It is indeed easier to gain trust if he comes forward.

Zhenna said: "In that case, let's decide like this."

The third generation has some concerns: "If the Uchiha are given more power, will it further encourage their ambitions?"

Mana said: "Uchiha has reached this point not because of power and ambition, but because of his inability to understand and trust. He must re-establish Uchiha's trust in the village and the village's trust in Uchiha. Of course, this This is just the first step, and in the next step, I hope that the Konoha Guard can be opened to other ninjas in the village, even if it is only a small number of places, that would be good."

The third generation felt that this was not very reliable, but he didn't say anything. After all, Uchiha Fugaku hadn't spoken yet.

After thinking about it, Mana added: "In the future, Shisui should stay in the clan more and listen to the voices of the clan more. The child Itachi should stay with me for now."

Sandai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Mana was going to do.

She had just driven away Danzo before!

The Roots have to be incorporated anyway, so let Itachi Uchiha be the leader. After incorporating Danzo's forces, if the Roots are no longer independent, isn't it natural to occupy a place in the ANBU?

This doesn't involve robbing people from the original Hokage ANBU, nor does it infringe on other people's interests.

The third generation and the two advisors looked at each other and understood immediately.

Danzo Danzo is the worst one!

What about the promise not to investigate or retaliate?

Danzo might be angry to death if he knew this.

but……

Whatever!

Even if it is to keep the power in their hands, this time the third generation and advisors will fully support Mana in recruiting the roots.

No one wants Mana to poach someone from under him.

In addition, the Uchiha clan, which wants to occupy a position in the ANBU, will also support it.

...I feel sorry for Danzo.

A few days later, many ninjas in Konoha knew that there was another small office next to the Hokage's office. It might be the new power center of Konoha, because both the Hokage and the advisors always go there from time to time. And the Hokage and the consultant always followed the documents passed out from that office.

The Uchiha clan also began to gradually change. Although the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku still clamored for a coup, he only shouted slogans and took no action every time. On the contrary, Uchiha Shisui became more active than ever before, and he only blindly advised and requested. Different, this time he has the intention of setting up his own banner and confronting Uchiha Fugaku.

The changes within the Uchiha clan naturally attracted the attention of a certain masked man who had been secretly making inquiries. After some secret investigation, he found that all the clues pointed to the special office in the Hokage's building.

On this day, when Mana left the center of the village and was doing her daily practice in the forest, a man wearing a mask appeared in front of her. The mask covered the man's face tightly, and in only one eye exposed, The unique blood red color of the Uchiha clan.

Mana threw out the last shuriken casually: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you didn't show up until now."

Uchiha Itachi once reported to her that there was a mysterious masked man hidden in the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, but he had not yet been able to find out the identity of the other party.

Mana knew that if the other party's purpose was to deal with the Uchiha clan, he would appear in front of her sooner or later.

At this time, the masked man said in a calm voice: "It seems that the recent changes in Konoha are all related to you."

Mana said: "After all, I am also an Uchiha. It would be hard to see my family destroyed. That would be too heartbreaking."

The masked man snorted coldly: "Family? Even if it is destroyed, it is only their own fault!"

Mana wowed: "When you say that, it seems that you have a deep grudge with the Uchiha clan. However, as a blood successor family, the Uchiha clan has always attached great importance to blood and will not let the clan members wander around casually. Therefore, your pair of Eyes, probably stolen from someone else?"

"You don't need to use these words to provoke me. I can naturally tell you that I was indeed a member of the Uchiha clan, but I was betrayed by those short-sighted clan members."

The masked man stood with his hands behind his back, and he really seemed to be looking down on the world: "Young people like you may have never heard of my name. My name is Uchiha Madara!"

Mana: "...Uchiha what?"

"Why, with this kind of reaction, have you, a brat, heard of my name, Uchiha Madara?"

Mana sneered: "You hide your head and show your tail, but rat, you deserve to be called Uchiha Madara?!"

"Xianfa·Mu Dun·really thousands of hands!"

Masked man: "——!!!"

Calling Uchiha Madara is provoking you!
