Konoha Steady King

The light snow was falling tirelessly over Konoha, and the children who were attracted by the first snowfall climbed out of their warm beds early and cheered in the streets, bringing a lot of vitality to the village.For most residents of Konoha, today is just an ordinary day in life, but for Shimura Danzo, today is a day of being slapped in the face.

When several root ninjas with broken tendons knelt in front of him, Danzo Shimura, who was usually very good at cultivating qi, smashed the tea cup in his hand, causing everyone to lower their heads deeply, not daring to look at the angry leader. .

"Who did it?" Danzo Shimura asked, clenching his fists.

"Uchiha."

The anger on Shimura Danzo's face subsided a bit. If the Uchiha clan did such a thing, he could barely accept it.After all, they had already broken each other's skin and wanted to kill each other quickly.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Danzo Shimura said in a depressing atmosphere: "Team C and Team D are sneaking into Akihabara to wait for an opportunity. The other teams should withdraw."

The four teams, A, B, C and D, are the strongest teams at the core. Every ninja in the team has the strength of a Jonin.Among them, Team A and Team B are performing secret missions in the capital. Shimura Danzo cannot recall them and can only send out the remaining two ace teams.

However, Shimura Danzo sent the root ninja not to assist Hatake Sakumo in successfully completing the mission, but to sabotage it secretly.

If you expect someone as sinister as Danzo Shimura to do something good, you're not far from death.

At the same time, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did not come to the Hokage's office early to review documents as usual. Instead, he took Minato Namikaze to the street and looked at the playing children with a smile.

"Minato, do you know how old ninjas were before they started to embark on the battlefield 40 years ago?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked while watching the children playing.

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then replied: "About five years old."

"Yeah, it's heartbreaking that in the Warring States Period, ninjas started killing at the age of five."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he pointed at a few children running around and continued: "When I was their age, I was already a ninja who could stand alone, and my daily life was full of blood. Then you know Why can they play without any worries?"

Before Minato Namikaze opened his mouth to speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, stared at the Shadow Rock of the First Hokage, and said: "It is precisely because of the unremitting efforts of the First Hokage to create the one-country-one-village system that we are as happy as we are today. scene.”

Interestingly, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the birth of Konoha Ninja Village was entirely attributed to the first Hokage, but Uchiha Madara, or the Uchiha clan, who also made great efforts for it, did not mention it at all.

Namikaze Minato obviously discovered the flaw in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, but he didn't say anything. After saying yes, he said nothing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat dissatisfied with Namikaze Minato's reaction and said: "Today's peace is hard-won. It was obtained by countless ancestors who threw their heads and shed their blood. As a member of the Konoha Village, beware of the will of fire and continue to Strive for the peaceful development of the village."

After a pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the yellow-haired young man in front of him and asked, "Do you have the will of fire?"

Namikaze Minato was startled and hurriedly straightened his back and said, "Hokage-sama, I have always had the will of fire and the development of the village at heart."

"Haha, I have no doubt that you have the will of fire, but there is always a small group of people in the village who regard the will of fire as dirt and wantonly trample on the hard-won peace of the village, which makes people angry."

"Are you talking about the Uchiha clan?" Namikaze Minato asked cautiously.

"Not only Uchiha, there are many people who are unwilling to truly fight for the village for the sake of the so-called ninja. They regard their companions as their own personal weapons. They are several times more hateful than Uchiha!"

Namikaze Minato lowered his head, not daring to answer at all. He knew who Sarutobi Hiruzen was talking about.This morning, Hatake Sakumo led hundreds of elite ninjas to Akihabara to perform a mission that anyone who was not blind could see.But Minato was somewhat dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, thinking that as one of the top leaders of Konoha and the head of ANBU, it was normal for Hatake Sakumo to have some die-hard ninjas.

The ninja world respects the strong, and following the footsteps of the strong has always been the best choice for the weak. What's more, Hatake Sakumo is not an ordinary strong man, he is a strong man who has truly reached the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's suspicion silenced Namikaze Minato. From his words, Minato keenly realized that after sitting in the Hokage's seat for a long time, people who were originally broad-minded would gradually become narrow-minded.Konoha Village is a militarized village, and all armed forces should not be controlled by the Hokage, otherwise something will easily happen. This is an iron rule.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was actually jealous of Hatake Sakumo's influence in the village, and even hated him. How could he not make Namikaze Minato wary?After all, becoming Hokage has been his dream since childhood.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Namikaze Minato did not dare to answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He did not understand why several of his apprentices and grandchildren could not understand his painstaking efforts.As Hokage, he was just centralizing power to better develop the village. What was wrong with him?

That's fine with Senju Tsunade and Jiraiya, but even his most proud disciple Orochimaru openly sang against him at the conference. Could it be that Orochimaru couldn't see that he was paving the way for them to become Hokage?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen lost his temper and slowly walked towards the Hokage Building.The Daimyo of the Fire Country calls himself a loner, and he knows what it's like to feel like this.

......

In the Uchiha tribe, Uchiha Shinichi was holding a small private meeting. The meeting had only one theme, which was to free up the front page of the Fire Nation Daily to report on Hatake Sakumo's military exploits and build momentum for him.

Helping Hatake Sakumo when he is in trouble is always better than adding icing on the cake. Helping Hatake Sakumo when he is in trouble is ten thousand times better than being there when he is brilliant.Although Uchiha Shinichi is not as cunning as Sarutobi Hiruzen, he still has this political quality.

The Uchiha clan now needs a truly reliable ally.Everyone in the ninja world believed that after Senju Hashirama turned against Uchiha Madara, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan completely parted ways.But how do people in the world know that once a bond is formed, it will last for several generations and cannot be broken off easily.

Now that the Senju clan has retired, the Uchiha clan has lost a powerful ally and a former rival. It is really an unpleasant thing for the clan to become independent in Konoha Village and become the only thorn in the eyes of the senior officials.

If the Uchiha clan can win the favor of the civilian ninja group, it will undoubtedly benefit them a lot. A hero has three gangs, and a fence has three stakes, nothing more than that.

After finalizing the contents of the newspaper, Uchiha Shinichi walked out of the living room and leaned against the pillar in the corridor. He looked at the thin snow accumulated in the courtyard with an expressionless face, feeling a strong sense of exhaustion in his heart.

'Perhaps it's time to step down and give way to someone better. '

Thinking of his son who was loved by the clan, Uchiha Shinichi smiled and secretly decided to wait for Uchiha Fugaku to return to the village and push him to the throne of the clan leader, and he would enjoy the blessings of being an elder.

Hayama, who was hundreds of miles away, didn't know what was happening in the village. He just wanted to rush to Akihabara as soon as possible and kill all the ungrateful ninjas so that he could return to the village before the New Year.

The reactions from all parties have complicated the mission. It is no longer a simple ninja mission, but more like a political mission.
