Become a famous ninja

During the Third Ninja War.

In his last days in power, Hiruzen Sarutobi demonstrated this aspect of his character vividly.

This is also the biggest reason why in the original work, Hiruzen Sarutobi repeatedly objected to Shimura Danzo and others' harsh treatment of the Uchiha clan, and repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to use peaceful negotiations to resolve their conflicts as much as possible.

It’s not that this old guy has any kind intentions.

It’s just that I simply don’t want to take risks!

After all, he is a disciple of the Second Hokage.

There are even people who have witnessed Uchiha Madara’s power with his own eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that if the Uchiha clan rebelled head-on, it would easily cause great trauma to the village!

It's the same in this life.

Kill some, suppress some, and win over others.

It was Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude and approach towards the Uchiha clan from the beginning.

He wants to be like his teacher, the Second Hokage, and cultivate his own 'Uchiha Mirror'!

Uchiha Shisui was the target chosen by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Send a group of Uchiha tribesmen to a stronghold near the border of Earth Country.

The idea is to use the help of others to annihilate this part of the Uchiha. In the thinking of the Third Hokage, as long as the Uchiha's arrogance is completely suppressed, those 'die-hards' will be executed cleanly, and that time with his own teacher Treat the Uchiha clan's rebellion the same way.

The Uchiha clan will once again become the sharpest sword in Konoha.

At least.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has such confidence.

However, the facts often develop in directions that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect. The emergence of the Junin clan alliance, the changes in Uchiha Fugaku, and the most terrifying thing is that Shisui doesn't seem to want to Just follow your orders like before.

And the group of Uchiha sent to the northwest border area not only did not conflict with the Iwa ninja, but also had a faint tendency to turn against the guests, as if they wanted to control all those strongholds in their own hands!

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen quite anxious. Of course, if Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that the Uchiha clan had already completely controlled the border stronghold with the help of Kei, a daimyo, and even extended it to other areas. if.

I'm not impatient anymore.

But he was going to be directly shocked and angry!

Rao is so.

In the current situation, from the perspective of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Uchiha clan has gradually become too big to be controlled. In addition, the ninja clan in the village, relying on the Junin clan alliance, is becoming increasingly difficult to control. Up, this made Sarutobi Hiruzen very regretful as to why he had not been firmer and vetoed the establishment of this organization.

Shimura Danzo also had similar thoughts.

Talk and go.

It was still two years ago that both of them were too confident.

Thinking that he can still control everything in the village.

did not think of.

In just two years, everything changed.

And when these powers are shared and they want to take them back, the ninjas will definitely not agree!

This is why Sarutobi Hiruzen is so worried.

However, under the pressure of the two major ninja villages from the outside world, Sarutobi Hiruzen still couldn't use his hands and feet to deal with these matters. The former "ninja hero" had become very "timid and cowardly" I am very worried about whether my methods will cause riots in the village if my methods are a little more drastic. If such a situation occurs and Kumogakure and Iwagakure from outside press in with their troops, I will really become Konoha's eternal sinner!

Don't look at it. Over the past few years, Kumogakure and Iwagakure have only been experiments with small-scale troops, and the maximum number of combat troops will not exceed 200.

But something like war?Who can say for sure?

Yes!

When Yunyin Village took the lead in proposing a peace initiative.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was really overjoyed!

Although with his many years of experience in governing, he does smell a subtle atmosphere inside, but if a peace agreement can really be reached, his northeastern border will completely return to the peace of the past.

some price.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks he can still pay!

He calmed down Kumogakure, and then when Iwagakure had already taken the initiative to stop fighting.

You can really free up your hands to deal with internal problems.

Naturally, Hiruzen Sarutobi attaches great importance to this Yunyin Village mission!

Not only the importance of 'peace' is reiterated internally!

He even dispatched his most trusted subordinates to form a special operations team to welcome the arrival of the Kumo ninja delegation. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is suspicious by nature, looks like a 'suspicious element' to everyone he looks at now!

He would not allow anyone to interfere with this peace negotiation.

Especially 'certain people'!

"Remember, the delegation must be safely escorted to the village smoothly. Do you understand?"

In the Hokage office building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the three Jonin wearing Konoha uniforms in front of him and said in a deep voice.

This time the welcoming troops were there.

Sarutobi Hiruzen dispatched his most capable subordinates.

The weakest member has the strength of an elite chuunin.

The three leading people are the best among the Jonin.

"Yes, three generations of adults!"

The three of them suddenly lowered their heads and responded.

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, he left in a leap.

"Hiruzen, you are worried that someone will be detrimental to the mission, aren't you?"

Mito Kadoyan, who had been silent before, also stepped forward at this moment, came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, and asked softly.

"A storm is coming. The village has always been unstable. I can't be sure what will happen. I can only say that we must give priority to the worst outcome."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, shook his head slightly and said.

"Then let's just do what Danzo said and start right away. As long as we completely clear out those people in the Uchiha clan like the teacher, and then suppress the other parts, we should be able to achieve a good stability!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Mito Menyan said in a very serious tone.

"Yes, Hiruzen, although Danzo is often a little too radical, on this matter, I think we can think carefully about it. The Uchiha clan has become more and more unstable. That mysterious Uchiha The Bo clan members have not yet determined their specific identities, so it’s hard to say that they are not involved with the Uchiha clan!”

After turning to bed, Xiaochun nodded in agreement and said.

"No, we haven't reached that point yet, and the current Uchiha clan is not that easy to deal with. Although I don't know the reason, the daimyo seems to be very supportive of the Uchiha clan and does not have a deep understanding of this aspect. Before, you can't mess around, after all, the views and opinions of other ninjas in the village are equally important!"

At this time, the indecisive nature of the Third Hokage's character came into play again.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The main reason is naturally.

After two years.

The changes in the Uchiha clan made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel overwhelmed.

Moreover, the attitude of other ninjas in the village seems to have become very ambiguous.

If it can be confirmed that the Uchiha clan is guilty of rebellion, the Third Hokage firmly believes that those ninja clan will definitely stand on his side.

However, this premise cannot be established.

Just doubt.

It is not enough for these ninjas to choose to completely side with their senior leaders.

It is not uncommon for blood successors to wander outside the realm. The Hyuga clan is so stubborn and conservative that even one of its Byakugan was plundered by the Kirigakure village. The Uchiha clan has died in battle in the past 50 years since they joined the Hidden Leaf village. Ninja villages in various countries have not only a thousand clansmen, but also hundreds.

Even if the probability is really low.

But there is indeed a possibility that other ninja villages have Sharingan to use to drive a wedge between their Konoha ninja villages.

established in this case.

Naturally, most of these ninjas choose a relatively neutral attitude.

There are even some ninja clan who will be slightly biased towards the Uchiha clan under certain circumstances.

This makes it very difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi to deal with this matter. It is already very difficult for just one Uchiha, and now there are also those ninjas!

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's character, it was difficult to make a decision.

Mito Kadeni and Koharu Koharu also understand this.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking.

Both of them frowned.

"Let's hold off for a moment. Let's stabilize the border issue first. Yunyin Village may not be able to withstand the pressure. There are also threats from Kirigakure and Iwagakure. We must pay attention to this peace negotiation. As long as we sign The contract can at least get a stable time limit of several years, and we can really concentrate on dealing with the internal problems in the village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his two companions and said seriously.

Mito Kadoyan and Koharu Koharu also nodded slightly at this moment.

In the case of external threats, it is really not appropriate to start a war internally. In any case, these people are the vital forces of Konoha, even the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Monen, Koharu Koharu, and even Shimura Danzo didn't really treat them as rebels that had to be dealt with, let alone other ninjas.

In the final analysis, what these Konoha high-level officials want to achieve is to check and balance these ninjas.

So that they can be better used by Konoha.

Danzo's intention was the same.

The only difference is that Danzo's methods are a little too cruel and cruel.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little too indecisive again.

This led to it.

Subtle gaps gradually appeared in the relationship between Konoha and the major ninja clans, of which Uchiha was the most direct representative.

But neither of them realized this.

As long as these two can be neutralized, they will have the true control ability of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama.

Konoha would never reach this point.

It is even more impossible to give Qi even the slightest chance to intervene.

After all, there is still a huge gap between these two guys compared to their teacher, the Second Hokage!

They just don't know it yet.

The emergence of Qi only makes this contradiction more open and clear.

Regarding the arrival of the Yunyin Village mission this time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were looking forward to it.

The people at the bottom were still very cheering. Even if the war did not reach the Konoha ninja village, in the past two years, the number of frontline Konoha ninjas who were killed and disabled in the battle was still hundreds. These people also had considerable influence. There are more ninjas from civilian backgrounds, plus the Nine-Tails Rebellion two years ago, and the Third Ninja War a little earlier.

It can be said that in the past few years.

Almost every year, many families in Konoha Ninja Village have to hold funerals!

For the people of Konoha, this was a too severe blow.

They desperately want to return to the true peace of the past.

The continuous war has really made these people miserable. If they can win, it doesn't matter. At least there is a comfort on the psychological level. Konoha can survive the previous three tragic ninja wars. The biggest The reason is that Konoha is the victor!

This has a completely different impact on the people's psychological level.

But what if the result is the other way around?

Just look at the declining Sunagakure and Kirigakure villages.

Iwagakure Village is barely a winner, but Kumogakure Village is because of the specific customs of its country. The people of this country have been representatives of warlikeness since ancient times!

Therefore, once the war continues, there is no hope of victory.

People are the most prone to resistance.

This time, after the news of the arrival of the Yun Ren peace delegation spread.

The entire Konoha Ninja Village was in a state of excitement.

When the Kumogakure village jonin, who was also the representative of the leader of the mission this time, Hato, led more than ten Kumo ninjas, stepped in from the main gate of Konoha.

He was really cheered and cheered by the people of Konoha.

Except for those families whose relatives died because of the war between the two countries, who would glare at the arriving Kumo ninja mission, most of the remaining Konoha people were looking forward to the arrival of peace.

The thoughts of the people at the bottom are so simple and direct.

The major ninja clans had different attitudes towards the arrival of the Kumo ninja mission.

The war can end, and these ninjas will naturally be happy. The endless war will also cause them to continue to lose people.

As a member of the Ninja Village.

Once the scale of the war expands, they must have the obligation to contribute human resources.

If the target were changed to another person, it would be Iwagakure, Kirigakure, or Sunagakure, and those discerning people in the ninja clan would not be surprised.

Will the most bellicose Yunyin Village take the initiative to propose a peace agreement?

You must know that when the third generation Raikage died in the battle, the large troops of Kumogakure were chased by Iwagakure and retreated to the Kingdom of Thunder. Kumogakure did not declare surrender and defeat.

Now it's just friction on a scale of hundreds of people.

Will Yunyin Village propose an armistice motion?

These people really don't believe it.

Therefore, in response to the arrival of the Kumo Ninja Mission, these ninja clans had already put forward different opinions at the Ten Ninja clan alliance meeting.

It was just that Sarutobi Hiruzen overriding all opinions and forcibly passed the proposal for peace with Kumogakure. If there were other proposals involving the core interests of the major ninja clans, these ninja clans could still argue for it.

But this time it's about the peace of the whole village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen insisted on this proposal and declared that this was the best way to win peace for the village. These ninja people could not speak easily.
