Chapter 74: Hiruzen Sarutobi: As Hokage, my power is limitless! (Please subscribe! ~)

“Naruto… is there really no way for us Uchiha to completely eliminate the rift with the village?!”

Shisui Uchiha's upright and youthful face was shrouded in an unbearable bitterness and helplessness, as if he were wearing a mask of pain.

He looked at the blond boy in front of him, who was holding a teacup and obediently drinking water, his dark and clear eyes filled with pleading.

He knew that the blond boy in front of him had an inner self that was absolutely contrary to his well-behaved shota appearance, and a maturity that far surpassed his peers.

Naruto shook his head and spread his hands. He had just analyzed the Uchiha situation to Shisui Uchiha.

“Your Uchiha clan has always been arrogant and unruly, looking down on everyone, not taking the other ninja clans in the village seriously, and is almost ostracized and hated by the entire village.”

“In addition, the hawk faction within your clan often gathers, attempting to incite the clan to rebel, which is no secret to the village's higher-ups!”

“Tell me, Shisui, if you were a village elder, would you tolerate your Uchiha clan continuing to be estranged from the village, becoming a detonating tag buried in the core of the village that could explode at any time?”

Hearing this, Shisui Uchiha's face turned pale. He was naturally aware of the Uchiha clan's innate arrogance and their obsession with strength and power, which could not be changed after birth.

“However…”

Naruto changed the subject, intending to point out a path. Seeing this, Shisui Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Naruto's small arm.

“If you Uchiha are ruthless, undergo bone-scraping treatment, and preemptively eliminate those stubborn and incorrigible hawk faction members within the Uchiha clan…”

“Perhaps the Third Hokage-sama will do his best to preserve the remaining Uchiha clan afterwards.”

Shisui Uchiha's upright and handsome face changed, and a look of pain and hesitation flashed in his eyes, but only for a moment, before he shook his head decisively and sighed.

“Naruto… the method you mentioned may indeed save the family bloodline to the greatest extent, but fratricide… I can't do it…”

Receiving Shisui Uchiha's expected refusal, Naruto also nodded secretly.

The Uchiha family and the village were equally important in Shisui Uchiha's heart. He sincerely wanted to perfectly integrate the Uchiha into Konoha.

Even though the hawk faction within the Uchiha clan had always attempted to rebel against the higher-ups and control Konoha.

But after all, they were considering and thinking from the perspective of their Uchiha family's interests, which could be regarded as an internal political dispute within the family.

Moreover, they had not yet really launched a rebellion and caused chaos in Konoha Village.

How could Shisui Uchiha preemptively eliminate these blood relatives who had been together day and night and shared the same bloodline?

After all, he was not Itachi Uchiha.

And it was precisely this kind of Shisui Uchiha, who was benevolent, upright, naive, and extremely重視重視亲情, who was worth his effort to win over.

Otherwise, who would dare to be a companion with someone like Itachi Uchiha, who dared to slaughter and personally kill even his own parents and clan members without blinking an eye?

I'm afraid that one day, he would suddenly ask to borrow your head for a while to use it to awaken his eyes!

……

Right in the center of Konoha, the Hokage Building with the round roof.

With a “bang!”, Tsunade kicked open the door and barged straight in.

“Old man! Don't disturb Naruto's rest so late in the future! It will affect his growth!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was holding a crystal ball showing a white, flowery scene and was watching with fascination, was startled. His old face, as wrinkled as tree bark, was flushed.

He hurriedly and flusteredly put away the crystal ball, looked at the person who came, and complained with some annoyance.

“Tsunade, why do you come in without knocking! Didn't you see that I'm busy!”

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and patted his cheeks, which were abnormally red, to make his face appear more normal.

Tsunade's delicate face, like that of a young girl, showed a look of contempt and suspicion. She crossed her arms over her chest, outlining her magnificent figure, and said in an unpleasant tone.

“Old man! You wouldn't be using your lewd technique to peep into the women's bathhouse again, would you! Just like Jiraiya!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice, preparing to stiffly change the subject.

Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry rang out outside the window. A magnificent eagle with beautiful, jet-black feathers, like a sharp sword cutting through the sky, circled outside the Hokage Building, flapping its strong wings.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade's eyes narrowed at the same time. These carrier eagles usually carried urgent intelligence related to the safety of the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly walked to the window, took the eagle's claw, and removed the specially made intelligence scroll tied to it.

He quickly scanned it with his eyes, then looked at Tsunade in a deep voice.

“Tsunade, Asuma sent a message saying that the situation inside the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Daimyo's Palace is not right, and they are likely to have internal strife!”

Tsunade raised her eyebrows. “The Twelve Guardian Ninja are the Daimyo's own direct force. What does their internal strife have to do with our Konoha?”

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his dry cigarette and said with concern,

“The leader of one faction among the Twelve Guardian Ninja is called Kazuma, and he extremely hates our Konoha.”

“Recently, Kazuma has been constantly urging the Daimyo to curb our village's power by reducing the amount of tasks issued to Konoha, funding allocations, and material distribution.”

“He even attempted to reclaim Konoha's independent military power and return it to the hands of the Daimyo!”

Hearing this, Tsunade's willow eyebrows also furrowed slightly. One country, one hidden village, this was a rule established in the ninja world by her grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

If what Hiruzen Sarutobi said was true and that Kazuma's attempt was successful, wouldn't Konoha, the result of her grandfather's hard work, disappear from the ninja world from now on?!

This was something she was absolutely unwilling to see.

“Tsunade, you and the Daimyo were originally half relatives. If you could persuade the Daimyo on behalf of the village…”

Tsunade's face showed a look of hesitation. “But I just took Naruto as my apprentice. If I go to the capital, that kid will be alone in the village…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed a smiling expression, as he had expected, and replied.

“Tsunade, wouldn't it be right for you to take him to the Land of Fire together? It can also be regarded as a precaution against the restless Uchiha recently.

Let's just say it's that little guy Naruto's first outing mission and training!”

Tsunade was stunned. Her younger brother, Nawaki, was too young and inexperienced when he went to the battlefield during the Second Shinobi World War and mistakenly entered a trap of explosive tags and died.

And Naruto was even younger than Nawaki at this time!

If something happened to him again, she was afraid that she would never be able to withstand the blow, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

“Naruto hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet. Is he going out to take on a mission?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a smug smile. “Tsunade, my power as Hokage is limitless!”

“What's more, that guy Naruto has now mastered the terrifying power of the tailed beast to a certain extent. Ordinary Chunin may not be his opponents!”

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a stack of mission scrolls from his desk drawer.

“This is a B-rank mission. You can observe from the side and let him try it first.”
