Double Hokage Comparison: Both ninja circles are crying miserably

At the beginning of the 3rd Ninja War, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a seriously wrong decision, causing the head of Sunagakure Village to rush in.

So much so that when the war just broke out, it hit directly at the doorstep of Konoha Village.

In the following years, similar operations were carried out frequently, and the village suffered heavy losses due to many times of foolish command.

If you have a normal mind, you will know that many excuses for war are often just excuses, and they are only used to show that you are actually a just party.

There are dozens of such excuses that can be made casually. For example, two ninjas in our family disappeared on your territory.

Practical reasons are mostly impossible to articulate.

For example, if the boss is gone, we need to find ways to divert internal conflicts, such as being interested in your territory, wealth, and population, or thinking that we are strong enough and want to kill you so that we can dominate the world.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi has two very strange thoughts.

First, no matter how big the crisis is or how horrific the consequences may be, you can only fight back after someone else has actually stabbed your body with a knife.

We must never nip a problem in the bud, never take action preemptively, or even increase our defenses just to avoid being responsible for causing friction.

The second is that we don’t care about the opponent’s actual reasons at all, but only target and solve the excuses made by the enemy on the surface.

To put it simply, I will give you whatever you want. Please don’t hit me.

Money, materials, ninjutsu, territory, and even the limits of his own blood lineage, etc., are all taken care of.

What's even more amazing is that there is Danzo,

The three generations on the front foot had just settled the dispute on the surface at a huge cost, but the guy on the back foot was secretly provoking trouble, fearing that the enemy would not have an excuse to attack them.

The reason is also very simple. If you force the Hokage to make a wrong decision, even if it turns out to be right, you have to find a way to make it wrong.

In this way, Sarutobi would be able to step down and he would have a chance to ascend to power.

On this point alone, Danzo Shimura did succeed.

In three battles, almost two-thirds of the village was emptied.

Konoha paid countless prices, begged grandpa and sued grandma, but failed to prevent even one dispute. In the end, the other four villages took turns to bloodletting.

Especially for Uchiha, the heavy casualties caused internal resistance to explode, and he was on the verge of going berserk.

During the negotiation process with Iwagakure Village, even Jiraiya, a good old man, had objections to his behavior of giving up all compensation and only asking for withdrawal.

The third generation was forced to abdicate.

However, would such a power-hungry person really give up his rights?

Obviously it is impossible.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already thought up a whole plan.

He used all the power that the Sarutobi clan had accumulated over the years as Hokage and had not been consumed in the war, and instantly increased the number of jounin by a large number.

Then, these Jonin and the original direct lineage were used to manipulate the voting results, so that Orochimaru, who had the highest voice, was also the most qualified and powerful, was defeated.

Namikaze Minato became the fourth generation.

Minato's talent, popularity, strength, and achievements are all sufficient, but the only thing is that he has no foundation.

Born as a commoner, his family was unable to provide help. Of the three disciples, two died and one was crippled.

During the war, they were also responsible for vanguard assaults or sabotage missions behind enemy lines. They often acted alone, and were not in a command position where they could win over their subordinates and form their own forces.

In other words, he is a polished commander.

Yellow Flash manages the wood industry, and Sarutobi Hiruzen manages Yellow Flash as the Hokage's assistant, so that the real power is still in his hands.

The process of Minato becoming Hokage has been shown in Jiraiya and Mikoto's videos before.

Only two clips are used here to show it, and most of the process is skipped.

Soon, the scene flashed, and in a small red building, Minato, who was usually sunny, handsome, and always full of energy, looked depressed and decadent for some reason.

He squatted in the corner, held his head in his hands, and sobbed:

"Kushina, I'm so tired."

"As the Hokage, I can't command the ANBU. No one listens to my words. I can't even freely decide who will be the Shadow Guard to protect me."

"My original idea was to let Akimichi Dontou, Aburame Shimi and Uchiha Yashiro form the Fourth Generation Shadow Guard. Dontou and Shimi were both my former teammates and were very reliable.

Yashiro was recommended by Fugaku. Before the third generation promoted me to the position, he personally promised the Uchiha to relax their suppression. "

"However, the third generation actually told me that Uchiha cannot be trusted, that the Aburame clan is too close to Danzo, and that Akimichi is not suitable to be a guard.

Including other ninja clans, they all have their own selfish motives. He asked me to select young middle genin from civilian ninjas and train them myself, saying that they would be loyal enough when they grow up.

As for the Uchiha and the ninjas who want to develop, let me find a way to refuse to shirk. "

"He also said in front of others that these were my intentions, and put the blame on my head, saying that I was the Hokage.

The Uchiha already have a grudge against me, probably thinking that I was ungrateful and deceived them. "

Minato cried,

Kushina couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you Hokage? Don't care what he says, just give the order directly in the name of Hokage.

One is a young Hokage, and the other is an old man who is about to be buried. Besides, they are still your teammates, so they should know how to choose, right? "

"No, the decisions made by the high-level advisory meeting are higher than the Hokage's orders. The Hokage can only be regarded as one of the top leaders at that meeting and has one vote.

As long as I don't follow the requirements of the third generation, he will initiate a high-level meeting,

The other consultants all support Sandai no matter what the issue is. Several of my previous proposals were jointly rejected by them.

Shimura Danzo even threatened me face to face with words without hesitation, forcing me to sign an unreasonable funding approval document for the root.

There is also a meeting of all jounin. According to the system, even the conclusions of the high-level advisory meeting can be vetoed. The jounin is now the largest in the Sarutobi clan.

Moreover, once it gets to that level, they will completely fall apart. "

"What about Jiraiya? As your teacher, doesn't he support you in even this little thing?"

"Teacher was summoned to Mt. Miaomu, and then he will go out to travel around the ninja world."

……

Minato cried for more than ten minutes.

Kushina was always there to comfort her.

The fairy couple that everyone envied outside seemed to have turned into a pair of fateful mandarin ducks dependent on each other here, in their own home, in the only pure land they could control.

The two ninja spectators were all silent for a moment.

It's a bit sad that a movie should be treated like this, but Minato's popularity is very high no matter which world he is in. He can't say anything to complain, so he can only stay silent.
