Be the mastermind behind the scenes from the ninja world

The sudden personnel changes caused quite a stir among many families in Konoha.

Some people are happy, others are naturally sad.

At the same time, there is another family - the Uchiha clan, a wealthy family in Konoha. Fugaku, the leader of the wealthy family, is in a very complicated mood at this time.

The previous Hokage candidate, Shisui, was directly kicked out of the Hokage candidates, but his son was added to it.

When you go out and go in, there doesn't seem to be much difference, but the impact on people is not small.

If the current Hokage is the third generation of Hokage, then Fugaku can clearly understand that allowing members of the Uchiha clan to enter the Hokage candidates and become the future Hokage can only be a delaying tactic, because in the eyes of the other party, their Uchiha clan will inevitably Not a good family.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t do everything possible to target him.

But the current Hokage is Tsunade the Fifth Generation.

A person whose strength, courage and even prestige are No. 1 among all Hokages in the past, she doesn't even bother to play with these little tricks.

But it is essential to be on guard against others. No one knows what the Godaime is thinking at this point.

They knew the Fifth Generation Tsunade very well in the past. After all, almost all the current heads of major families grew up listening to Tsunade's stories.

Coupled with the colleagues behind him, it can be said that he still knows Tsunade very well.

However, during a rebellion half a year ago, the Fifth Generation Tsunade used iron-blooded methods to directly slaughter half of the family ninjas in the rebellious families. This time, the methods directly shocked all the family leaders.

No one dared to make a sound about this, and even this matter seemed to have become a taboo, and it soon disappeared in Konoha.

Even those rebel families who were spared their lives and survived, except for the Hokage's orders, spent the rest of the time like quails, carefully living in their own family land without any other thoughts.

Once this incident was combined, Fugaku didn't know how to understand the fifth generation Tsunade's move.

Does he really want their Uchiha to enter the highest level of Konoha, or... is it just the most basic comfort.

people!

Basically greedy.

If it were placed during the period when the Sandaime was in power, what he wanted to see most was not that Uchiha became Hokage, but that those unwarranted suspicions disappeared and the Uchiha clan no longer suffered from suspicion.

Now that they have reached the top position, they look up towards the highest position. It seems that there is a great attraction on that chair, which is constantly tempting them Uchiha.

Can……

Today's fifth generation is not the third generation who only knows how to play politicians, and the opponent's strength is also the highest in Konoha.

It can be said that, except for her grandfather Senju Hashirama, who often lives in seclusion, the fifth generation of ninjas in Konoha is undoubtedly the strongest.

He is strong, not so narrow-minded, and is very tolerant of people and things.

What Fugaku was most worried about was that the Godaime gave them such a high status just to appease their Uchiha.

You can become an advisor to Konoha's elders, you can become a candidate for Konoha's Hokage, but once it takes a long time, you will be kicked out of the candidates and replaced with another person.

This kind of thing happened again and again. What could he do at that time?

No!

Because everything is done according to the rules, they Uchiha must also abide by these rules.

"Patriarch."

Fugaku, who was wandering around the house thinking about the hidden meaning behind this incident, suddenly saw family guards coming in outside the courtyard.

"what's up?"

"Clan leader, the ANBU captain is here."

"Huh?" Fugaku frowned, and then said: "Invite him in."

Da da da……

The ANBU captain quickly followed the Uchiha guards into Fugaku's courtyard.

"Hokage Order: From now on, Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader, will become a candidate for Hokage and will learn how to handle village affairs from the head of the staff department, Nara Shikaku, and the director of the secretariat, Kato Shizune..."

This order went beyond Fugaku's imagination, and his thoughts seemed to be slowing down.

play for real?

If he remembered correctly, Shisui and Kakashi did not receive this treatment at the beginning. They were only allowed to participate in the affairs of the village without any teaching or training. Now this is...

"Understood." After these thoughts went around in his mind, Fugaku responded directly.

After informing the ANBU captain, he didn't stop and turned around to leave. He also wanted to inform another Hokage candidate.

After all, judging from the Godaime's expression, this matter is urgent, it seems...

Forget it, it has nothing to do with him, he is just an ANBU captain, and he only needs to obey the Hokage's orders. As for how to do it, that is what the big shots need to consider.

"Clan leader, that's a good thing."

Before Fugaku could react, the guard immediately spoke with joy on his face.

"You think this is a good thing?"

Said to be a guard, he was also the leader of the secret guard trained by Fugaku. The relationship between the two parties was not bad, otherwise the defense of the clan leader's house would not be left to the other party.

After all, there were many Uchiha secrets in his home.

"Clan Chief, the young chief's talent, ability and even strength are among the best in the entire Uchiha clan. Not to mention, the young chief is far superior to Shisui in one aspect, and that is his vision. In the beginning, Shisui was not Although he was the initial beneficiary of this natural disaster, although he changed his mind later, compared with the young clan leader, Shisui had become accustomed to many things in the chaotic ninja world. Even the Immortal Dao system could not find it for a while. Change his character..."

"But the young patriarch is different. The first batch of descendants to be trained by the family's immortal system, they have broad knowledge and strong strength..."

Hearing the words praising Itachi, Fugaku forced a smile and quickly reacted.

All of his previous considerations were just unfounded worries on his part, and the Fifth Generation's courage was indeed astonishing.

It's true that he has a bit of a villain's heart.

"Go and inform...forget it. Although the beast tide has weakened to a certain extent, people still need to guard it. In this way, I will personally go there and let Itachi return to Konoha. By the way, before he comes back, you can go and get Hinata." List all the information on Setsuna Hyuga, the candidate of our family, and give it to Itachi, and then let him make his own judgment."

……

Unlike Uchiha Fugaku, who thought wildly after receiving the order, Hinata Hinata was so excited that she almost ate two more bowls of rice.

Back then, when Hinata Neji was three years old, the family elders forced him to carve a caged bird for the family's three-year-old juniors.

However, with the spread of the Immortal Dao system at that time, as the leader of the Hyuga clan, he naturally had strength that far exceeded that of the family elders.

After all, compared with those decayed family elders, he was still in his prime, and his talent was not bad. Therefore, he was forced to use force to carve the caged bird, which was delayed again and again, and then due to changes in the sky The relationship naturally ended.

Later, his strength increased again and again, and the entire Hyuga clan opened a guild, directly abolishing the caged bird of the entire family.

It is precisely because of this that the hearts of the family are all gathered around him.

Those rotten family elders...

As for Hinata Setsuna, he was the genius he gained from the family after abolishing the caged bird.

But it's not about Hyuga Rouquan, but about the Immortal Dao system. The opponent's mental power is very strong. He was carved as a caged bird before, so his mental power was naturally suppressed. If he had to lift it, maybe this talented family member would He would disappear from the crowd and become an ordinary Hyuga clan member, but since he abolished the caged bird.

This family descendant, with an incredible rapid progress, directly became the strongest person in the Hyuga clan second only to him, Hyuga Hyuzu.

Today's Hyuga clan, not to mention catching up with the Uchiha clan, but other families will never be their opponents.

"Patriarch, are you looking for me?"

Hinata Setsuna is now young and full of youth, but the eyes she looks at Hinata are full of respect.

Because, in his heart, it was the patriarch Rizu who saved him from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Setsuna, this time the Godaime will add you to the Hokage candidate, I have no other request, there is only one, and that is not to lose the majesty of the Hyuga clan."

"Clan leader, Setsuna understands."

"Uchiha Itachi Uchiha, what do you think?"

"Clan leader, I'm not sure. I heard that he is very powerful and very talented, but he rarely appears in Konoha. There is very little information about him..."

Rizu was silent for a moment.

Thinking of some things he had secretly detected, he said in a slightly lower voice: "You and Uchiha Itachi have a competitive relationship, but many times, they are also the only ones who can join forces. Therefore, if you don't fall under the majesty of the Hyuga clan, I You are allowed to act according to the situation.”

A trace of astonishment flashed in Hinata's eyes for a moment, but these words were said by Hinata, so he did not object and nodded hesitantly.

"Go, I guess you won't have time to return to the family in the next period of time."

Hiashi didn't give Setsuna any explanation. He waved his hand and asked Hinata Setsuna to leave the courtyard.

He looked at the sky with very sad eyes.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: It's been an eventful time, and there will be another uneasy time. I hope Setsuna can handle these things.

the other side.

Tsunade, who returned to the family patriarch, looked at Li Sheng with some annoyance.

"Teacher, why did you tell me such a big thing now?"

Li Sheng, who was dissatisfied with Tsunade, slowly picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and then put down the cup.

"Why are you so anxious? You've been the boss for so long, why don't you have any determination?"

"teacher!!!"

"Okay, okay." After more than ten years of practice and self-cultivation, Li Sheng is no longer as arrogant as he was just after leaving the Demon Palace.

Faced with his apprentice's 'coquettishness', he waved his hand helplessly.

"This matter, it's not that little girl Shizune deliberately hid it from you, but I didn't let her tell you. During this period, you can see for yourself, how long have you not practiced, how long have you not walked out of the Hokage's office? , once I really tell you this matter, maybe you will..."

"Teacher, let's get down to business. I will naturally practice these small things well after I abdicate."

When Tsunade heard that her teacher was still talking vaguely, she couldn't help but interrupt Li Sheng's speech.

"Okay, you can think about these things yourself. Anyway, I have said everything that needs to be said." After Li Sheng coughed lightly, his expression was no longer so relaxed. He looked at Tsunade with some seriousness and said: "The Buddha of the Land of Grass Disciple, he is sculpting a sacrifice formation. He contacted me before and asked me to send you a message, that is, he needs Konoha's help."

"What?"

"Let all the ninjas who practice the immortal system in Konoha learn a blood coagulation method, then sacrifice all the monsters and half of the shoddy Buddhists in the Land of Grass to 'God's Will', and then open a large tube wood that leads directly to the seal on the moon. The passage to Kaguya’s hometown..."

"how can that be?"

She knew that Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed on the moon. After all, Li Sheng told her and Shizune back then.

But does God’s will really exist?

Tsunade looked up at the sky, only blue sky and white clouds, nothing else could be seen.

Moreover, to sacrifice to God's will and open a passage, does this require releasing Kaguya Otsutsuki on the moon?

Who can guess what an old man who has lived for thousands of years is thinking.

Moreover, as the source of chakra, will the other party wait until they release the other party before turning their backs on them?

Tsunade didn't think that the other party would have any morality. Besides, in Konoha at the moment, who could defeat that sealed old woman?

she?

Or her grandfather Senju Hashirama?

I'm afraid that's not possible. Otherwise, why couldn't they get out such a big sealed ball?

Besides, how could she believe that Monk Bujie was the mastermind behind the Buddhist invasion?

"Teacher, if that's all, Monk Bujie should be able to complete it by himself. You also said that his strength is not weaker than the Six Paths Immortal in our world, then..."

"Strength is one thing, and the other is this blood coagulation method. The Buddhists under his command are all half-human and half 'puppet'. Since the Buddhists who were assimilated by him have lost their true spirit, they cannot learn the blood coagulation method at all. He can do it himself, why don’t you let him do it alone?”

"Not to mention whether he is willing or not, just the various complicated methods are enough to make him overwhelmed. Besides, there are strong people behind the monsters. Once he really acts alone, then there will be endless things waiting for him. When the time comes, let alone completing his plan, I am afraid that he himself may not be able to escape the pursuit..."

"So, he wants to drag Konoha into trouble?"

"Basically, it's like this. I don't know the specifics. You can talk to him at that time, or you can take the opportunity to grab some of the benefits. After all, he is a guy who can't afford to be early without benefits..."

From this exchange, Tsunade finally understood that he was using her Konoha village as a thug and vanguard to implement his own plan.

Moreover, the matter of offending the powerful monsters was also thrown to Konoha, this...

Tsunade's face turned livid instantly. Did she really think that she, Tsunade, would agree?

"Teacher, why don't I agree?"

"If you don't agree, don't agree. I am your teacher and I will protect you. But for other people in Konoha, you have to pray. Monk Bujie is a very kind and good person. If you don't agree, you will give up any idea. Good people."

Li Sheng sneered and stared at Tsunade with a smile.

"teacher!"

"What? Are you unwilling to accept the reality? I have already said that strength is the basis of everything in the future, but you have turned a deaf ear to my advice. It's okay now. If trouble comes, you can handle it yourself. Well, you know, I, Li Sheng, am not your nanny in Konoha."

"If you are strong, how dare you be so arrogant if you don't discipline Monk An?"
