Starting from Konoha's exile

Naruto Office.

"I've met Hokage-sama." Shiro respectfully saluted Sarutobi.

"Hehehe, you don't have to be so polite." Sarutobi smiled broadly and said to Shiro, "It's rare to see you going out alone. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Sarutobi actually likes this boy very much. Of course, it's just a simple liking. It has nothing to do with Shiro's cross-dressing, he promised.

In Sarutobi's eyes, Shiro had been following the true self for the past few years. He had emerged from the mire and remained untouched. He was trapped in darkness but yearned for the light. According to all the information, this boy has not done anything evil. He loyally protects the safety of his true self, but has never had any of his faults. Compared with all the crazy and misdeeds of the true self, Bai is simply an angel-like child.

In some ways, Sarutobi even admired him. Shiro was a ninja who didn't kill, which was somewhat similar to the generation he longed for. They all had a kind and benevolent heart. Including the kidnapping incident a few days ago, Bai Ya only controlled the enemy, and Zhenme was the executioner.

Even without much information, Sarutobi, a veteran, could tell at a glance that Shiro was a kind and pure child.

How could I, my beautiful lady, be a thief? such a pity!

However, now that he has come to Konoha, Shiro, who is only ten years old, still has the opportunity and conditions to accept the baptism of the Hokage's will.

Sarutobi couldn't help but cheer up, and he would work hard to rescue this child from the clutches of his true self no matter what.

"It's like this. I want to set a good example for Sasuke, and also hope to make some contributions to the village. I plan to start accepting ninja tasks in Konoha Village, so I have been specially appointed to seek the advice of the Hokage. Master Jinga Express your willingness to accept the arrangements and dispatches of Konoha Village."

The moment Shiro finished speaking, Sarutobi basically understood.

This is a low-key gesture of goodwill. Do you want to exchange any conditions?

"Well, I understand, what else?" Sarutobi nodded and then asked.

"Sama Jinga has dispatched eight guards from the Kingdom of Iron, and they are still under investigation by the Interrogation Department."

Sarutobi smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Shiro.

"Shiro, don't get me wrong about this. The ninja world has always been uneasy. All outsiders entering the village need to be carefully checked. This is definitely not against you. Especially if ninjas from other countries want to join Konoha, they must also be reviewed. Being more careful and prudent is also for the safety of the entire village. Can you understand this? Bai."

"Of course I understand, Hokage-dono. I brought this up specifically because there is another level of relationship that needs to be reported to you."

"Oh? Go on." The meat show was coming. Sarutobi's eyes lit up and he concentrated.

"These eight people are all orphans taken in by Shinga-sama, and they have been assisting Shinga-sama as retainers. But Uchiha is now thin, and relying on the two of them alone, it will be extremely difficult to revive Uchiha.

Therefore, Shinga-sama plans to give these eight people the name of Uchiha and establish a waifu. In the future, Master Sasuke and his descendants will be the inner family. Moreover, in order not to shake the legal status of Master Sasuke's heir, Shinga-sama decided to leave the inner family, and instead, as the head of the outer family, led the outer family to fully assist Master Sasuke.

In addition, except for the true self, the mother-in-law will give priority to protecting the family and handling family affairs. If there is no foreign war or the Fire Country is invaded by another country, the mother-in-law will not accept the general entrustment of the village.

Since Young Master Sasuke is still young, Shinga-sama is only temporarily in charge of family affairs as an elder for him. When Young Sasuke grows up and on the day of his marriage, Shinga-sama will take over the management of the new Uchiha clan. The property, as well as the rights due to the clan leader, were all handed over to Sasuke. This is Shinga-sama's oath, in duplicate. Please keep this one, and the other will be given to Master Sasuke during tonight's family ceremony. "

The amount of information was too much. Sarutobi took the oath in shock and tried to clear his mind.

Doesn't it mean that Uchiha, who is already so powerful, has no ambition at all? Even though he was exiled as a waste and an idiot, he was indeed one of the Uchiha clan members with upright roots. As the only adult descendant of the direct line, he was really a good person both from a legal perspective and from a personal strength perspective. My inheritance rights are higher than Sasuke's.

Some people may think that there are only three people left in Uchiha, a little baby, a rebellious ninja who exterminated the clan, and a madman who returned from exile. But a famous family is not judged by their numbers, but by their foundation.

What is the heritage of a famous family in the ninja world? The ninja clan's bloodline is number one, family secrets are number two, and family industry is number three.

In fact, the Uchiha family property has been confiscated by Konoha, and was surrendered by Uchiha True Self in previous negotiations, but it is still somewhat untenable in terms of reputation and justice. But this is only the most secondary reason that determines a family's heritage. If a person has the ability, there will naturally be no shortage of money.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the leading blood inheritance limit in the entire ninja world. This is the most important factor for a family to settle down and survive. As long as the bloodline inheritance continues, the more family members there are, the thicker this heritage will be until the past glory is restored.

Most of Uchiha's family secrets have been sealed away by Sarutobi himself, but as long as there is still a bloodline left by an Uchiha ancestor living in Konoha, he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will never dare to risk the world's scorn to embezzle it privately. For any reason or in any form. Otherwise, other families in Konoha will definitely attack together. This is the highest consensus reached by all ninja families and village leaders in the entire ninja world.

Sarutobi has not yet transferred the sealed family secrets to the true self. The first reason is out of distrust of true self, and the second is the issue of legal inheritance rights. Sasuke is young and true self has a criminal record. In this way, Sarutobi Tobi will have room to maneuver. The longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be for Sarutobi or Konoha.

Do I really have deep feelings for the Uchiha clan? Sarutobi was the first to not believe it. Back then, whether it was the cruelty of the Uchihas or the naked hatred of the true self, Sarutobi could clearly see it. That's why the real me at that time was qualified to be a chess piece of Konoha Village, and could survive the assassinations in the clan one after another.

Is it for the Leaf Village? Sarutobi didn't dare think so shamelessly. What is the real reason? Sarutobi hopes to get the answer in the oath.

After Sarutobi calmed down, he opened the oath and began to read it carefully.

As a result, there was more powerful information in the affidavit, which made Sarutobi's heart, which had just calmed down, become turbulent again.

In the affidavit, in addition to the more detailed explanations of what Shiro relayed, what really concerned Sarutobi were the following contents, which also made Sarutobi think he had seen the true purpose of the true self.

Actively cooperate with Konoha Village to capture the real culprit who destroyed the Uchiha clan, Konoha Village rebel Uchiha Itachi.

Completely give up the power to take over all positions in the Konohagakure Police Force.

Absolutely support Sarutobi Hiruzen and other future Hokages who conform to the legal principles of the Fire Country Konoha Village to take leadership positions in the village.

Confiscate all the bad assets of the Uchiha clan. (Except for all personal assets owned by Uchiha Makoto after the fifty-second year of the Hokage, and the family assets re-managed by Uchiha Makoto returning to Konoha Village in the fifty-ninth year of the Hokage.)

These contents seem meaningless, they are all done things. But the whole book can be summed up in two words: status.

The reputation is what Sarutobi needs most right now. With the endorsement of the Uchiha people, the negative influence of Sarutobi Hiruzen and all Konoha high-level officials in the Uchiha genocide will be completely wiped out. Moreover, the reputation is also Sarutobi's. The thing that has been the most important thing in leading Konoha Village for many years. Now, the Self gives it away.

In addition to his status, this affidavit is also related to his reputation during his lifetime and after his death. Once Itachi had some ideological back-and-forth, with this oath, he and Konoha would be basically invincible.

If status is the most important code of conduct for Sarutobi Hiruzen in the position of Hokage, then reputation is the most precious asset in his more than sixty years of life.
