Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Sakumo! Don't rush to judgment! The Uchiha clan is part of the village, and we still need to continue to collect intelligence to appease..." Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Hatake Sakumo was in a strange state today, and he always agreed with himself to appease him. Hatake Sakumo, the leader of the Uchiha clan's policies, actually showed an overly tough and hawkish style today.

"Hiruzen! I think what Sakumo said is in the best interest of Konoha. This time is different from the Fourth Generation. I have to admit that this time you did choose an excellent Hokage to succeed you."

Shimura Danzo interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's advice. Shimura Danzo, who had always been at odds with Hatake Sakumo, actually immediately changed sides and stood firmly by Hatake Sakumo this time.

"Danzo, I don't want to argue with you for no reason this time. The Uchiha clan's problem involves a lot, and the village must be cautious in handling this aspect." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and glanced at Hatake Sakumo, who was silent. Finally, he looked at Danzo Shimura seriously and said.

Shimura Danzo directly ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's warning eyes, lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Since the second generation, Konoha has been wary of the Uchiha clan. Just as his old man worried, the Uchiha The clan has indeed embarked on the path of coup, so it seems that the masked man who controlled the Kyuubi eight years ago should be the Uchiha clan's conspiracy to promote the coup."

Shimura Danzo recalled his son's death in that turmoil. When he talked about the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he subconsciously tightened the cane in his hand.

"Danzo, what you said is all speculation, and there is no evidence to prove the fact that the Uchiha clan is plotting a rebellion. In this case, we cannot deal with them at will. After all, the Uchiha clan is also part of the Konoha Village. They are members of the Konoha Clan. There was a lot of blood." Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped the table and shouted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not retreat at all, firming up his beliefs and stance.Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura both studied under the Second-generation Hokage, and they were all influenced by Senju Tobirama's governing philosophy. This resulted in Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo secretly guarding against Uchiha during his tenure as Hokage. It's just that Danzo plays the dark side on weekdays, while he maintains the generosity and kindness above the bright side.

But even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen still had no intention of destroying his clan.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is indeed a very powerful force, but we cannot destroy its power just because we are afraid of its power. As a Hokage, if he does not even have this power, it is impossible for him, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to be defeated. Senju Tobirama was chosen to become Hokage's successor.

As a veteran politician, Sarutobi Hiruzen makes judgments and decisions based on the interests of Konoha. If the Uchiha clan is really preparing to rebel collectively, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not show mercy.His opposition to the village's further oppression of the Uchiha clan was based on various considerations.

First of all, there are still a small number of people in the Uchiha clan who are firmly on the side of Konoha. These people are not trapped in the narrow clan concept.

Secondly, the power Uchiha mastered at this time did not exceed the high-level combat power of Konoha Village. Uchiha Shisui was the only one known to possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Uchiha Shisui was an outstanding Konoha ninja who firmly supported the Three Generations concept. .So in a strict sense, the Uchiha clan does not have sufficient power to rebel.

Finally, Konoha Village has continuously experienced the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Cloud Ninja Village War and other events, and the village's strength is in a recovery stage. If a civil war is really launched at this time, it will definitely be detrimental to Konoha's interests.Even if the Uchiha clan is eliminated early, the village will lose one of the most powerful Bloodstained Boundary clan forces.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen must stop Hatake Sakumo's plan no matter what, and Shimura Danzo's extreme ideas are absolutely undesirable.

"Sandaime, I understand your concerns. We will put the Uchiha issue on hold for now. However, I hope we can discuss measures to prevent the possibility of an Uchiha coup today, so as not to cause heavy losses to Konoha if something happens." Hatake Sakuo. Shigeru raised his hand and lowered it, signaling Sarutobi Hiruzen to stay calm.

After hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tense face softened.As long as things calm down, everything may have time to change and avoid developing in the worst direction.

After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression return to calm, Hatake Sakumo continued to launch a conspiracy response to the possible arrival of the Uchiha clan.At this time, the four people put forward their own opinions, completed the key areas for fortification, and contacted the heads of important families in Konoha for early warning.

Since it was a hypothetical proposal, Sarutobi Hiruzen also put forward the response plan extremely calmly. At this time, the handling methods of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo gradually converged. After all, they were hypothetical responses after the Uchiha clan rebelled.

A secret meeting from Konoha's top brass is going on quietly...

At a certain observation tower in Konoha's Anbu Investigation Department, an ANBU ninja with long white hair and a short blade tied to his back opened the door and walked in.

The two ANBU ninjas sitting in the room turned their heads and saw who was coming. They stood up one after another, lowered their heads in respect and shouted in unison: "Captain!"

"Well~ there's no need to be so formal. It's time for shift change. Leave it to Itachi and I." The white-haired ANBU scratched his head and said in a gentle tone.

The ninja following the white-haired ANBU also nodded slowly to the two ANBU members.

The attitude of the two Anbu ninja towards the person behind him was completely different from the previous attitude towards the white-haired Anbu. When they looked at the young ninja, a trace of disgust flashed in their eyes.But with the white-haired ANBU standing by, they couldn't say much, so they could only retract their gazes and pretend not to notice.

"Captain, I leave it to you." The two Anbu bowed to him and left.

When they passed by the young ninja, they glanced sideways at him with malicious eyes.It's just that the young ninja seems to have been used to this situation for a long time, and he is staring at the camera screen in front of him.

"Bang!" Then the door was slammed shut!

"Itachi, don't blame them, because recently the village and Uchiha..." The white-haired Anbu squinted his eyes and smiled bitterly. He also saw the bad attitude of his subordinates towards the young ninja, and was about to apologize to them on their behalf. .

"Kakashi-senpai, it's okay, I don't care about this kind of thing." Itachi interrupted the white-haired Anbu's apology, walked to the workbench expressionlessly, and flipped through today's recorded information.

The young ninja named Itachi is naturally the rookie genius of Uchiha, the eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi.The white-haired man is Kakashi Hatake, the son of the Fifth Hokage Sakumo Hatake, who is also the captain of the ANBU.

As the relationship between the Uchiha family and Konoha Village has become more tense in recent months, most of the ninjas in the village are dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan.He believes that the Uchiha clan is too arrogant and arrogant, taking advantage of the autonomy of the Konoha Guards to dominate.Uchiha, on the other hand, believed that everyone in Konoha Village was ostracizing Uchiha, and the dissatisfaction in his heart had accumulated to the limit.

Hatake Kakashi looked at Uchiha Itachi who was seriously carrying out the monitoring mission in front of him. He was a little worried about the conflict between the Uchiha family and Konoha Village. However, Kakashi, who was not qualified to intervene in the incident, could only remain silent. Looking at the direction of things, I was unable to provide effective help in resolving conflicts.

In the end, Kakashi could only sigh secretly, and then dutifully performed his duties as supervisor of the Uchiha clan.
