Controlling the ninja world begins with Konoha

Chapter 017 Named Disciple

Sasuke plays the arrogant genius very well.

The aloofness and even the stubbornness of the Uchiha clan are perfectly displayed.

If it were the former Uchiha clan, then the aloofness and pride he showed would only become the object of everyone's disgust and disgust.

But today is different from the past. The talents of the Uchiha clan are now withered, and only two people were slaughtered.

Not to mention that the other person was the murderer who picked up the butcher knife to massacre the clan members. He was recognized by Konoha and the entire ninja world as a cold-blooded traitor.

In other words, as the last lone member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke's eagerness to become the Hokage's disciple, to prove his feelings, and to wash away the shame of the Uchiha clan is completely understandable.

Not only do they understand, but they also have a bit of sympathy and pity for the aloofness and pride that they hated so much in the past.

This is the world after the identity changes, the strong and the weak change.

To use the old saying: Only the strong are worthy of sympathy and are qualified to show mercy to the weak.

In the past, the Uchiha clan looked at them with condescending eyes, but now it was their turn to look at the last Uchiha with condescending eyes. All the past grudges and hatreds had actually disappeared.

More importantly, his mood is not a threat to Konoha as a whole, and may even be an inspiration.

To be honest, the Third Hokage's performance in handling the matter of the Uchiha clan was very perfect.

If you look at it carefully, first of all, the murderer of this incident is Uchiha Itachi, and then dig into the second layer. The cause is that the Uchiha clan wants to rebel. The victim is actually the village, and the village uses Uchiha Itachi to rebel. Killing is also a case of self-defense.

Even if Uchiha Sasuke wants to pin the blame on the village after he grows up to be as invincible as Uchiha Madara in the future, the already aging Third Generation Hokage and Danzo are the perfect scapegoats.

Because all this is the plan of the two of them, and if Uchiha Sasuke wants to be held accountable, then the two of them should be held accountable at most. As for destroying the village...

If Uchiha Sasuke still has a little bit of conscience, then the village's more than ten years of training has been in vain.

All in all, in terms of political methods, the Third Hokage actually handled it very perfectly.

Of course, sometimes, some people are just completely unreasonable.

As strong men, they certainly have the capriciousness to express their anger at will, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Therefore, when Uchiha Sasuke's "ambition" was revealed by himself, he would be cultivated by the Third Hokage with confidence.

The reason for this has been mentioned above.

First of all, Sasuke no longer has the huge group of tribesmen behind him to support him.

Secondly, just like the Hyuga clan is willing to marry their eldest daughter to Sasuke, no matter how he can have a child, he will only have one.

Even if he had three wives and four concubines, he would only have three or four children a year at most, and it would take more than ten years for these children to grow up.

Even if they do nothing and just work hard for ten years, there will only be half a hundred tribesmen in ten years, and they will all be immature children, completely unable to form combat effectiveness.

It seems like some kind of reincarnation. For geniuses like Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, the entire Uchiha clan will only produce one or two people like this in ten years.

For example, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Mirror and Uchiha Shisui.

Now from the perspective of talent, the genius who emerges in this decade should be Uchiha Itachi.

But Uchiha Itachi, who slaughtered his relatives and betrayed the ninja village, has no possibility of becoming Hokage. At most, he can only become a potential helper for Uchiha Sasuke from afar.

As for returning to the Uchiha clan openly and honestly...

I'm afraid, even if Uchiha Sasuke takes the position of Hokage, it will be impossible.

And the last reason is the Hyuga clan.

Uchiha Sasuke has now become the son-in-law of the Hyuga clan, but this is only in name. If no one helps Uchiha Sasuke, he will only gradually become the puppet of the Hyuga clan.

By that time, it will be very difficult to separate Uchiha Sasuke and the Hyuga clan.

As a wily politician, the Third Hokage could not wait until that time to take action, and the timing now was very good and very clever.

Because Uchiha Sasuke came here on his own initiative and repeatedly begged to become his disciple, but he repeatedly refused. However, Sasuke really refused to give up, so he reluctantly accepted him as his disciple.

It was not against the Hyuga clan that he took the initiative to recruit Uchiha Sasuke as his disciple.

The difference between active and passive is like the difference between deliberately stumbling upon the Hyuga clan and accidentally meeting the Hyuga clan at a corner and knocking them down.

Now that the Uchiha clan has just been destroyed, will this be a signal that the Third Hokage will destroy the Hyuga clan, or will it be a dove of peace that coexists harmoniously with them?

The strength must be very precise.

And Uchiha Sasuke seemed to be an itch sent to his door, just right to relieve the third Hokage's itch.

Under the confluence of so many coincidental conditions, even the Third Hokage couldn't bear to move and coughed lightly, making everyone in the room quiet down.

"Sasuke-chan is right."

The Third Hokage tapped his burnt pipe gently on the ashtray, his voice calm and indifferent.

"The Hokage is indeed such a very important position."

Thinking of Sasuke's praise of Naruto and his rainbow fart just now, even a politician as cunning as Sarutobi Hiruzen with a face as thick as a city wall blushed a little.

He coughed twice more and emphasized emphatically: "However, the current little Sasuke is not qualified to be my disciple at all, but..."

He prolonged his voice slightly, and looking at Sasuke's slumped face, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in controlling the entire situation, and then smiled: "Konoha does have a big problem with the Uchiha clan. Responsibility, and little Sasuke’s determination to take revenge and his awareness to revitalize the Uchiha clan are indeed worthy of respect.”

"But little Sasuke, you still have to go to school when it's time to go to school, but you can come to me every weekend to ask me about your confusion and ninjutsu problems."

The words of the Third Hokage were like a huge storm, directly sucking out the air in the entire room, causing everyone to fall into a suffocation of thought.

actually really...

Does the Third Generation really want to accept him as his disciple?

It seems that the rumor in the village that "the third Hokage was behind the destruction of the Uchiha clan" is just a rumor.

The jounin and chuunin each had their own thoughts, and their hearts were extremely complicated, thinking about the meaning of this matter.

But Naruto couldn't bear it any longer, and he jumped up from the ground and exploded.

"what!?"

"What about me! Third-generation grandfather, what should I do!"
