Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

Chapter 239 When a country goes downhill, someone needs to step on the accelerator (7.2K)

In Sand Hidden Village, facing Ghost Light Crescent Moon's proposal, they didn't have any special ideas.

After all, although they have joined the anti-Konoha alliance, for now, Sunagakure Village has not changed much compared to before, and they cannot get any benefits from it.

Therefore, in line with the mentality of having fun, Sunagakure Village was very happy to mobilize its own power and conduct relative publicity on this matter in the ninja world.

After all four ninja villages had no objections, the four ninja villages also jointly issued an announcement to hold the "Uchiha International Arbitration Case" at the Ninja International Organization in the Kingdom of Iron.

——

"Lord Hokage, this is the relevant news about the 'Uchiha International Arbitration Case'."

After the ANBU ninja finished his report, he handed the stack of information in his hand to Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo suppressed his anger and read the promotional notice for the Four Ninja Village in his hand.

"Integrity is the foundation of ninjas. But Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'Hokage Rock Fart' behavior has undoubtedly discredited the entire ninja collective. Therefore, for the benefit of the entire ninja industry, and in order to rectify the style of the ninja industry, we have no choice but to I can only intervene in Uchiha's affairs and seek justice for Uchiha!"

The notices in Iwagakure Village reveal helplessness and last resort, and Onoki's mentality of being both responsible and independent is clearly evident.

"Fairness and morality are in the hearts of the people, and the people of the Ninja world will take care of the injustices in the Ninja world!"

This is the announcement of Yunyin Village. It is simple and crude, which is very in line with the character of Yunyin Village.

"The problem between Konoha and Uchiha is by no means an internal matter of Konoha. This conflict has seriously affected the important interests of various ninja villages in the Country of Fire, and has involved thousands of people in the Country of Fire and even the entire ninja world. Human energy.”

"As an important force in maintaining peace in the ninja world, Kirigakure Village, as a responsible great ninja village in the ninja world, naturally has to shoulder its due responsibilities. Therefore, in response to this issue, we had to make a decision that went against our ancestors and decided to For the sake of all living beings in the ninja world, I propose to introduce international forces to mediate the conflicts between Konoha and Uchiha."

"I believe that under our mediation, Konoha and Uchiha will be able to put aside their past grudges, resolve conflicts, and contribute to the peace of the ninja world."

It is not difficult to tell from this familiar labeling and pointing from the moral high ground that this is Kirigakure's propaganda announcement.

As for the publicity notice of Sand Hidden Village, it is very simple.

"...We in Sunagakure Village strongly agree with the above-mentioned opinions of the Ninja Village. We believe that this is a long-term strategy based on the overall situation of the Ninja world and looking to the future..."

To put it simply, it means "me too".

So when Danzo Shimura saw these words, the anger in his heart simply rose to the extreme.

Especially the description of the conflict between Uchiha and the village made him very unhappy.

because……

Those are all true.

boom!

He threw the information in his hands on the table, closed his eyes tightly and kept thinking about how to solve this public opinion crisis.

Soon, he thought of a solution, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

"Transfer these things to Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Shimura Danzo pushed all the information in his hand to the ANBU ninja, "This 'Hokage Rock Oath' is his decision after all. Let us, the former Hokage, see how to deal with this matter!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the publicity notices of these four ninja villages mentioned Hiruzen Sarutobi's "Oath of Hokage Rock", and Danzo Shimura was keenly aware of this.

If this is the case, then he can justifiably remove himself.

After all, what you are condemning is the "Oath of Hokage Rock" and Hiruzen Sarutobi. What does it have to do with me, Danzo Shimura?

If the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha deteriorates due to this, you have to find the culprit, right?

Shimura Danzo was keenly aware of this, so he quickly caused a wave of trouble to divert the disaster to the east.

"By the way, these promotional announcements about the Ninja Village were leaked to the village without leaving any trace. The key point is that the current scene was caused by Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'Oath of the Hokage Rock'."

Having said this, Danzo Shimura seemed to have thought of something, his expression softened, and he continued to say to the ANBU ninja:

"Tell him that if he doesn't solve the Uchiha matter, I will let these rumors spread and I will not react in any way."

Among the surprised expressions of the ANBU ninjas, Shimura Danzo's exposed single eye showed a look of interest.

"Hiruzhan, I want to see what you would do in this situation."

For Shimura Danzo, is the harmony and stability of the village important?

important!

Does he understand the importance of the Uchiha clan to Konoha?

Of course I understand!

Doesn't he know that Uchiha at this time has become an absolutely unstable factor in Konoha?

of course I know!

But does this mean that he must bow to the Uchiha clan?

not necessarily!

As a hawk, as Shimura Danzo stepped on Uchiha and became Hokage, no matter what his temper or the Hokage's majesty, he could not bow to Uchiha.

Under this situation, Shimura Danzo suddenly thought of a question, that is, if he dealt with this matter resolutely, how would Sarutobi Hiruzen react?

Even though he hated Sarutobi Hiruzen extremely, Shimura Danzo had to admit that this old guy's love for Konoha was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

So, if he did nothing, could he watch the Uchiha and the village split, and watch Konoha face the danger of overthrowing under the general trend of the anti-Konoha alliance?

Under the current situation, if I ignore the overwhelming rumors, then the Uchiha clan will definitely break with the village even if I don't want to.

When the time comes, he can completely apologize and step down, and escape easily at the cost of resigning as Hokage, but what about Konoha?

How can Konoha without Uchiha resist the fierce malice of this ninja world?

Yes, whether it is for his own ideals or to prove himself, he will definitely not give up the position of Hokage, but does he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, dare to take the gamble?

Even if the probability is 1 in 10,000?

Danzo Shimura left with a pat on his back, what will happen to Konoha then?

"Hiruzen, I bet you love the village more than I do!"

When a country is going downhill, someone needs to be in the driver's seat and step on the accelerator.

When Shimura Danzo thought that even though Sarutobi Hiruzen had stepped down, he was forced to wipe his own ass by his own actions, the joy in his heart almost burst out.

Although this move also has very serious side effects, it will cause great damage to one's own image. It is a move that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred, and cannot be used frequently.

After all, as a Hokage, it is somewhat unjustifiable to do nothing in the face of such a matter and let a former Hokage who has abdicated come forward.

But...who cares?

Are you kidding, Danzo Shimura cares about the image of the village?

In other words, Danzo Shimura has a positive image in the village?

As a person who has been in charge of the root for decades and has earned the name "Darkness of Shinobi" in the ninja world, how can he not know what kind of image he has in the village, or in the hearts of those ninjas?

Besides, as long as this matter is over, he can say afterwards that Sarutobi Hiruzen went to solve the Uchiha incident under his instructions.

It is very reasonable for the current Hokage to command the previous Hokage, right?

Are you saying I didn't do anything? Are you saying that I let the rumors go unnoticed?

Show us the evidence!

"Hiruzhan, I want you to understand...I am the Hokage!"

Shimura Danzo stood up and looked at the Hokage's office that now belonged to him completely, with endless ambition in his eyes.

Danzo Shimura knew that as long as he firmly controlled the Anbu and mastered his own elite power, all opposition could be ignored.

Therefore, in the next step, he plans to once again increase his efforts to draw manpower from the ninja clan, striving to expand the ANBU's power again.

However, these measures must wait until Hiruzen Sarutobi resolves the Uchiha incident and the impact of this incident completely dissipates.

After all, even if he already had countermeasures in place, he still had feelings for the anti-Konoha alliance formed by Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure.

——

Uchiha tribe, Nanga Shrine.

All the jounin of the Uchiha clan are now gathered at Nanga Shrine again to discuss the now-bubbling "Uchiha International Arbitration Case."

"Chief, this is also an excellent opportunity for us!"

Uchiha Yashiro looked at Uchiha Homura who was sitting in the main seat, closing his eyes and concentrating, and couldn't stop being excited in his voice.

"When Danzo Shimura stepped on us and ascended to the position of Hokage, we originally wanted to make a fuss at the Jonin Conference based on Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'Oath of Hokage Rock'. But with your strength They resisted, saying that Shimura Danzo took out the Mangekyō Sharingan. Regardless of whether the story he told was true or not, we, the Uchiha clan, were not justified, so we stopped. "

"But we did not initiate this matter now. The public opinion situation outside the world has reached this point. We are just using this to push the boat forward and ask for the benefits we deserve from the village. Doesn't this make sense?"

Uchiha Homura, who was sitting on the main seat, opened his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Yes, we did not provoke this situation. No matter what their purpose is, the Four Ninja Village has set up the stage for us. We only need to perform on the stage step by step."

"Originally, the village doesn't take any responsibility, and we just follow the trend. This kind of thing is not an exaggeration, right?"

After hearing Yashiro Uchiha's words, even an Uchiha clan elder who was of the same generation as Homura Uchiha couldn't sit still and immediately stood up to support Yashiro Uchiha.

"We should take advantage of this opportunity to at least let the village return the Mangekyō Sharingan to us!"

Upon hearing this, the originally quiet Nanga Shrine immediately became noisy.

The Mangekyo Sharingan has been publicly dissipated in the Uchiha clan for decades now. For such a long time, let alone the ninja world, even in the Uchiha clan, some young people have always believed that the Three Magatama Sharingan The eye is the highest state of Sharingan.

It was only after the Kaleidoscope appeared on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain that they learned from the elders of the clan that there was an even more amazing Mangekyō Sharingan above the three Magatama Sharingan.

Regardless of the inner story, the current situation is that the "ultimate power" of the Uchiha clan is not in the clan, but in the hands of the village. How can this not make the proud Uchiha feel aggrieved and dissatisfied?

Taking this opportunity, a large number of Jonin began to clamor, demanding that the village return the Mangekyo Sharingan.

In this fanatical atmosphere, more and more people began to speak out on the matter and began to support asking the village for the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Then gradually, the atmosphere gradually became out of control.

"If you ask me, not only the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also Danzo, the Hokage, must be given up so that Brother Fugaku can take the seat!"

A young Uchiha jounin stood up and shouted with enthusiasm: "At the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally promised, and under the witness of Uzumaki Mito, he pointed at Hokage Iwa and promised to help Brother Fugaku. Become Hokage."

"It is precisely because of this promise that in the Second Ninja World War, we spared no effort to mobilize the young and old of the clan to participate in this war."

"Why, now that the war is over and the Uchiha clan no longer needs us in the village, they just threw us away so easily? Is it possible that he, a dignified Hokage, can pass his words as farts? Is it possible that our Uchiha clan has passed away? Blood, people who have died just let it go just because of an explanation that I don’t know whether it’s true or false?”

Under the words of this Uchiha jounin, the atmosphere at Nanga Shrine became more and more heated. Many jonins of the Uchiha clan seemed to have gradually unified their thoughts, that is, the entire clan once again carried the coffin and went to the Hokage Rock to the village. Seek justice.

This time we not only want to get back the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also want to clear the name of the Uchiha clan and make Danzo Shimura give up the position of Hokage!

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting next to Uchiha Homura, heard such crazy words in his ears, and his face showed a trace of embarrassment. He seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

As a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it can be said that his life in the clan was not satisfactory during this period.

A considerable number of people in the clan blamed him for not competing against Shimura Danzo, believing that he did not exert corresponding influence on Sarutobi Hiruzen, which ultimately led to Sarutobi Hiruzen breaking his promise.

I didn't think carefully about the situation of Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time and how fearful the Uchiha clan was in the eyes of other ninja clans since the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But after all, the old clan leader Uchiha Homura supports him, so even at this time, the clan will still choose him when recommending Hokage.

boom!

Just when everyone was discussing the matter in full swing, Uchiha Homura, whose eyes were slightly opened and closed, and seemed to be really dozing off, finally stood up and tapped the cane in his hand.

As if this was a signal, Nanga Shrine, which was noisy just now, immediately became quiet.

As an old man who took over the power of clan leader from Uchiha Madara and has been in charge of the Uchiha clan for decades, Uchiha Homura's prestige in the clan is naturally unparalleled.

So as soon as they saw him standing up, everyone immediately stopped talking and waited for the old patriarch's instructions.

And Uchiha Homura was not vague. After a week of simple inspection, he said:

"The Uchiha clan never owes Konoha anything. On the contrary, Konoha owes Uchiha too much!"

As soon as these tone-setting words came out, joy appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Except Uchiha Fugaku.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face that was hard to see on a normal Uchiha's face.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, as a Konoha ninja.

On one side is the village, on the other side are the tribesmen.

Is it taking the overall situation into consideration, or is it based on reason?

Uchiha Fugaku couldn't understand. He originally wanted to pretend that he couldn't see this problem, but now he could only sit there in silence, acting as a mascot and listening to the words of the old patriarch.

"Why do the Kirigakure Village repeatedly use us as an excuse to attack Konoha? Why don't they use other ninja clans as an excuse to attack us instead?"

"The last time we gave in because of the Mangekyou thing, the last time we gave in because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's promise..."

At this time, Uchiha Homura opened his eyes wide, and three bloody magatama were spinning crazily in his eyes.

"So, I decided..."

"Lord Clan Leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi is outside asking for a meeting!"

Just when Uchiha Homura was about to speak out his decision, the alert tribesmen outside came here and reported to Uchiha Homura.

"Who? Did I hear you correctly? It's Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen? He still has the nerve to come here?"

"He just happened to be here. It saves us a trip. Let's go out and ask him for the Mangekyo and the position of Hokage! If he agrees, that's fine. If he doesn't agree, we'll tie him up and ask for it from the village!"

Hearing the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen, all the Uchiha present exploded. Their words were full of surprise and dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrival.

Uchiha Homura on the stage was also full of surprise at the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was getting late now, and this was the territory of the Uchiha clan. It would definitely not be possible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to come here at this time. What a trivial matter.

Uchiha Homura narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and finally asked someone to bring Sarutobi Hiruzen here.

A moment later, Sarutobi Hiruzen, led by the Uchiha clan, stepped alone into the Nanga Shrine, a family shrine that has been passed down by the Uchiha clan for thousands of years.

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared, some jounin could not suppress his inner emotions, and the Sharingan was unconsciously activated.

And as this Uchiha tribesman's Sharingan opened, all the Uchiha tribesmen in the shrine seemed to be "infected", and they opened their own Sharingan intentionally or unintentionally.

In the dim shrine hall, apart from a few firelights, only these pairs of scarlet sharingan eyes were shining brightly on the edge of the darkness.

Just like this, under the gaze of pairs of scarlet sharingan eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in from the gate, walked through the crowd at a leisurely pace, and came to Uchiha Homura.

The two of them just looked at each other in silence less than three meters away.

"Sarutobi-sama has come to visit so late. He must have something important to discuss. I don't know why?"

Although he was a guest from afar, Uchiha Homura, as the landowner, was the first to speak up and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen about his intentions.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this old rival and acquaintance whom he had competed with openly and covertly for half his life. His face was expressionless, and he sighed secretly in his heart, and then slowly bent down.

In this dark night, in the highest forbidden area of ​​the Uchiha clan, under the gaze of all the jounin of the Uchiha clan, under the incredible eyes of a pair of sharingan eyes, under the surprised look of Uchiha Homura Down.

The ancestor of Konoha's Hokage, who was once hailed as "the strongest Hokage in history", slowly bent down, with his legs and knees touching the ground, his head on the ground and his hands supporting his body, facing him in a standard soil seat posture. Looking at Uchiha Homura, he said:

"I have also heard rumors about the ninja world recently... I have no intention of defending myself. I am not to blame for the failure of the 'Hokage Rock Oath'. All the faults are mine..."

"I also know that this is very unfair to the Uchiha clan, but now is the time for Konoha to unite and unite, and all ninjas need to work hard. The current international situation no longer allows for conflicts between the village and the Uchiha. If the Uchiha If the Bo clan has any dissatisfaction, please vent it on me!"

"For what I did... red bean paste private Marseille!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's soil was like a bombshell, which shocked all the Uchiha present. They were all dizzy, and for a moment they didn't even hear clearly what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

There is no way, after all, this is the Hokage who has been in charge of Konoha for decades!

Even though he has abdicated now, his identity and status are still there.

Even the most arrogant Uchiha dare to imagine themselves threatening the village, but they also dare not imagine letting Sarutobi Hiruzen give them a seat!

After all, not every Hokage is like Senju Hashirama, who can be called a shame to the strong in terms of moral integrity.

Like everyone present, Uchiha Homura was also in deep shock.

Compared to the rest of the people, he has been dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen for half his life, and his understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen is extremely profound.

He never expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen would disobey him in front of so many people on this occasion.

However, Uchiha Homura eventually led the Uchiha clan to resist Uchiha Madara's existence. After a brief shock, he immediately realized the purpose of Sarutobi Hiruzen - thinking that the Uchiha clan would see him as the Third Hokage. For my own sake, I have uncovered this problem.

And that's exactly what happened.

When he learned about the movements of the Four Ninja Village from Shimura Danzo, especially when the Kirigakure Village targeted Uchiha again, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that it was impossible to solve the Uchiha matter.

Especially when he heard the message from the ANBU ninja, implying that Danzo Shimura would ignore the matter, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not help but feel deeply sad while being angry.

Just as Shimura Danzo thought, he didn't dare to bet that Shimura Danzo really didn't care about this matter.

After Shimura Danzo ascended to the position of Hokage, he realized that his old teammate had changed his temper and was no longer the young boy who loved the village.

In this case, he didn't even dare to publicize this matter - internally he had just experienced the deaths of Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Nao, the Hokage's change of position, and externally there was an anti-Konoha alliance, and now Konoha's kind of Under the circumstances, we really cannot withstand any setbacks.

So no matter how aggrieved Sarutobi Hiruzen was, he had to come to the Uchiha clan and try every means to resolve the grudges.

"Let Fugaku become Hokage, and let this be over."

Under the gaze of everyone, Uchiha Homura thought for a moment and responded to Sarutobi Hiruzen's Dogeza.

"You also know that this is impossible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even raise his head, still maintaining the posture of Earth's seat, and replied calmly.

Even if we don't mention Shimura Danzo's resistance, here in Konoha, Shimura Danzo has only been the fourth Hokage for a short time. Due to the pressure of external public opinion, the position of Hokage has been changed. If this news spreads, won't it make others laugh?

"you……"

Immediately, someone stood up and wanted to speak out, but was immediately stopped by Uchiha Homura.

His eyes were fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's curved body, his expression serious.

"Then the Mangekyo Sharingan must be returned to us."

Although the pair of kaleidoscopes had been tested by everyone when they were first displayed by Danzo Shimura, the Mangekyō Sharingan had almost lost its pupil power and became useless, but this can still be said to be the face of the Uchiha clan.

This kaleidoscope, which symbolizes the highest power of the clan, is wandering outside and being studied by people in the village. After all, it is a thorn in Uchiha's heart.

"……Can."

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied with his head on the ground.

The current Mangekyo Sharingan has almost lost its pupil power and is not dangerous at all, so it is controlled by Danzo Shimura as Hokage in the name of research.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't know that Shimura Danzo still had the power of Polywood Release + Kaleidoscope, naturally agreed.

Seeing the posture of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Homura immediately realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed here to reconcile with the Uchiha clan this time.

So Uchiha Homura's heart moved and he immediately stated the last condition.

"One last thing...let Fugaku become the Hokage's assistant!"

Let Uchiha become Hokage's assistant?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to refuse, but then he turned around and thought of what Shimura Danzo had just done.

He was also moved in his heart and thought of a good way to contain Shimura Danzo.

If Uchiha Fugaku becomes the Hokage's assistant, then with Shimura Danzo's temperament, Uchiha Fugaku will gradually become the opposite of him even if he is unwilling to do so.

Because there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

At that time, Uchiha Fugaku, the Hokage's assistant, plus him, Koharu who has transferred to the dormitory, and Mito Kadenen, will be able to contain Shimura Danzo!

As for whether Shimura Danzo will agree...

Ah!

Since Danzō Shimura became Hokage, his behavior has already made Koharu and Mito Kadeni fearful.

Coupled with Shimura Danzou's miserable reputation in the village, he was almost the same as Uchiha.

Letting Uchiha Fugaku become Hokage will only make the ninjas think that this is a dog-eat-dog situation. Coupled with the support of him, Koharu who has transferred to another dormitory, and Mito Kadenen, it also hints that Danzo Shimura is about to increase his recruitment from the ninjas. With the strength of human hands, it will definitely get the approval of all the ninja clan.

When the time comes, these people will have to agree. Even if Shimura Danzo objects again, what can he do?

"Danzo, I will make you understand...it is not that you can get everyone's support by becoming Hokage, but you can become Hokage by getting everyone's support!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally raised his head and agreed to this condition under Uchiha Homura's expectant eyes.
