The Happy Man of the Hatake Family of Konoha

In the afternoon, the sun shines into the wooden house, and the slight chill of early spring completely dissipates.

With a pot of tea and a book, Danzo Shimura leaned on the sofa and began to enjoy the half-day he had gained from his busy schedule.

Recently, Danzo's life was pretty good.

As an elder of Konoha, he has now firmly suppressed several others by virtue of his achievements in exchange for injuries. He has become a person in Konoha who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people.

At a recent high-level meeting, Danzo's proposal to strengthen internal monitoring of wealthy families was also approved.

Now that Kaoru Uchiha died unexpectedly, there are no longer any members of the Senju, Uchiha, or Hyuga clans in Konoha's top management to restrain him.

However, in Danzo's opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen's methods are still too gentle. If I were to be the Hokage...

Danzo took a sip of tea and couldn't help but think that if he were the Hokage, he would split the three clans and force them to intermarry with civilians and ninjas from small families, or even use them as research materials.

Such a precious bloodline boundary is the wealth of Konoha as a whole, not the private property of any of their families!

If Yasuo could hear Danzo's thoughts, he would definitely sneer at his naivety.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen's appeasement policy in handling foreign relations is a kind of political naivety inherited from the first Hokage.

Then Danzo Shimura's approach to dealing with domestic issues is another naive political point of view.

His original intention may indeed be for Konoha, but Danzo treats people as emotionless machines and tools to implement his personal will, and the outcome is doomed to failure.

Appeasement externally and cruelty internally, this combination of treasures is definitely more destructive than 1 plus 1.

Politics is the art of compromise, the art of finding the point of convergence between personal interests and collective interests.

If we blindly regard individuals as expendable objects, then the collective will inevitably fall apart.

What is even more frightening is that whether it is Danzo or the Third Generation, their short-sightedness is infinitely magnified when they have absolute power, becoming the poison that collapses Konoha from within.

For example, regarding the treatment of the Uchiha clan, Yasuo is not opposed to limiting the expansion of the wealthy clan, nor is he opposed to eliminating the barriers between Uchiha and civilians.

However, the final result of the magical operation of the Third Generation and Danzo not only failed to tame Uchiha, but deepened the gap between civilians and Uchiha, forcing this ferocious tiger to a dead end.

As for the failure of their own policies, Konoha's top management neither reflected on it nor left any remedial measures, but chose the stupidest path.

In Yasuo's view, if it weren't for Shisui and Itachi, two rebellious guys with strange brain circuits, Konoha's losses would be far more than that.

The united Uchiha, not to mention other things, are just three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan. What kind of power is that?

It can definitely turn the Konoha village upside down with White Fang committing suicide, Minato dying in battle, the Sannin running away, Hinata deserting, and the Senju falling.

Of course, Danzo didn't think about it that much at this time. He felt that those little things would be solved as long as he became Hokage.

After adjusting to a comfortable angle, Danzo opened the newly arrived third volume "The Romance of the Five Kingdoms".

The first page that catches the eye is not the main text, but an insert with only a few words.

"Hearthstone Tavern in Willow Lane? Can you appreciate the charm of the Five Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony and peak ninjutsu?"

Danzo didn't quite understand the meaning of the insert, but he became slightly interested in the remote tavern.

Maybe next time after a mission, you can go over and have a drink...if your body still allows...

…

…

After the failure of Chibi, the story gradually became clear, and the three kingdoms of fire, water, and wind gradually formed a tripartite power.

The aging Cao Cao Mengde was no longer able to unify the world, and eventually died on his bed, marking the end of a generation of heroes.

When Danzo saw this, he couldn't help but put down the book, sighed deeply, and sat there for a while before picking up the book again with a sigh on his face.

Danzo originally thought that with the death of the hero Cao Cao Mengde, the entire story had lost its soul, so he just read it with an attitude of beginning and end.

But as he watched, a look of interest gradually appeared on Danzo's face, and he discovered another character who was more to his liking.

Sima Zhongda!

In the story, Sima Zhongda is not a top strong man.

However, through strategy, he suppressed the harassment of the Kingdom of Water externally and gradually encroached on the power of Hokage internally.

After the death of the first Hokage, Sima Zhongda killed the second and third Hokage, and finally deposed the fourth Hokage and gained the highest authority...

After reading the last chapter, Sima Yan's birth, Danzo closed the book and lay on the sofa silently for a long time.

Flame, hotter than fire, is what Sima Zhongda named his descendants...

Danzo had a guess in his heart, a guess that made his blood boil.

But there is at least one thing that I have been ignoring...

Danzo looked at his body with many bandages, and for the first time he felt an overwhelming desire to extend his life.

…

…

For Sakumo this week, life was also full of long-lost happiness, the air was particularly fragrant, and even the morning dew on the tip of his nose was strawberry-flavored.

On the third day after the Spring Festival, after dinner, Yasuo planned to go to Willow Alley to take a look at the business of the tavern.

Although the daily operation of the tavern is now on the right track, Yasuo is still uneasy about Cardo, who will have a lot of misdeeds in the future, and will go to supervise the work every now and then.

As for the guy Matt Dai, there is no hope at all. If he is asked to monitor Cardo, he will be eaten to pieces.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about Kaduo. Instead, he completed his work conscientiously, looking like a strong man in business.

Yasuo even felt that with Cardo's serious expression, he might jump on the table at any time and shout to his old acquaintances in his hometown in the East China Sea:

"Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty! I, Kaduo, want to divorce his wife!"

…

Before he could go out, Yasuo was quietly pulled aside by Sakumo.

"Ahem..."

Sakumo coughed and asked, "Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

Yasuo scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "Is it mom's birthday?"

boom!

Sakumo said calmly: "This time, I am beating for my mother to educate this unfilial son."

Then, Sakumo didn't bother to show off, so he shook his head and sighed:

"Thankfully, others regard you as the most important bond, but you can't even remember his birthday. Tomorrow is Orochimaru's birthday..."

"this……"

Yasuo was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't remember it, but that he didn't remember it at all. He never cared much about it.

"But by the way, why do you remember my friend's birthday so clearly, Sakumo..."

"Ahem...this question is not important..."
