Naruto's strongest wooden escape

But the Third Hokage could never forget this face.

Growing up, Uchiha Matsuri could be said to have been watched by the Third Hokage and Jiraiya.

When he was a child, Uchiha Matsuri once regarded the Third Hokage as an amiable grandfather (although the Third Hokage was only about 40 years old at the time).

However, all the things that happened after Uchiha Matsuri made Uchiha Matsuri and the Third Hokage go further and further apart, and eventually had to become hostile.

And it wasn't until Uchiha Matsuri "died in battle" that the conflict between Uchiha Matsuri and the Third Hokage came to an end.

However, now, with Uchiha Matsuri revealing his identity, the conflict between Uchiha Matsuri and the Third Hokage has been revived.

"Hokage-sama, when I see you again, I don't know whether I should say 'Long time no see'? Or 'I didn't expect that' which better reflects the relationship between the two of us?" Uchiha Matsuri said jokingly.

The grudge between Uchiha Matsuri and the Third Hokage has taken root in Uchiha Matsuri's heart.

For the Third Hokage, Uchiha Matsuri is just a small role in his eyes. Therefore, the Third Hokage may not pay attention to Uchiha Matsuri's "persecution" at all.

What's more, the Third Hokage even subconsciously believed that what he did was natural.

The Uchiha Festival was different.

Uchiha Matsuri is a real victim. Uchiha Matsuri's hatred for the Third Hokage can no longer be described as "deep".

It is precisely because of this that Uchiha Matsuri wanted to use the death of the Third Hokage to achieve the "resurrection" of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina.

"Matsura, how did you escape from Onoki's clutches?" The Third Hokage asked doubtfully, "Also, since you escaped alive, why didn't you return to Konoha? Where have you been in the past few years?"

After hearing the greetings from the Third Hokage, Uchiha Matsuri secretly said "Old fox" in his heart.

When enemies meet, they should be extremely jealous.

But this old fox actually pretended to be fine and started chatting with him.

If Uchiha Matsuri had not been fooled by the Third Hokage many times before, otherwise Uchiha Matsuri might have been moved by these greetings from the Third Hokage today.

"Back to Konoha?" Uchiha Matsuri asked angrily, "I was almost killed by more than 100 'root' ninjas sent by Elder Danzo. Do you think I can come back alive..."

"...And, my life in Konoha was not good, why should I come back? Wouldn't it be better to be free to do what I want to do?"

Uchiha Matsuri almost shouted the last words.

After hearing Uchiha Matsuri's complaint, the Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, and then his brows deepened.

"He Danzo sent people to hunt you down?" the Third Hokage asked suspiciously.

"Masatsu, I think you may have made a mistake. Danzo has no reason to kill you!" the Third Hokage said quietly.

In the heart of the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo is a high-level official in Konoha, the leader of the "Root" Department, and has a prominent position.

As for Uchiha Matsuri, although he is powerful and has reached the position of squad leader, Uchiha Matsuri is just a small character who works for the "root" department after all.

Is a small character worthy of a prominent person spending huge manpower and material resources and taking huge risks to pursue him?

If Uchiha Matsuri had not taken the initiative to mention it, the Third Hokage would not have wanted to go in this direction until now.

"You'd better ask that old guy Danzo about this question..." Uchiha Matsuri snorted coldly, not bothering to explain Shimura Danzo's ambitions to him.

"And you, Sandaime. If you weren't secretly obstructing me, maybe I would be the Hokage now." Uchiha Matsuri said angrily, "But what about the reality? There is no place for me in the ninja world, so I had to go to the remote and poor Yanyin Village, dominate the mountain and become the king, and work hard to run Yanyin Village..."

"What did you say?" The Third Hokage showed an extremely shocked expression.

"The leader of Yanyin Village is Uchiha Matsuri" was even more shocking to the Third Hokage than "Uchiha Matsuri is not dead yet".

You know, the Third Hokage has been secretly paying attention to the development of Yanyin Village.

In just five years, he was able to turn a small village with no chuunin and jounin, which ranked at the bottom of the ninja world, into a No. 6 village that was second only to the five major ninja villages. The ability of the first generation of smoke and shadow to manage the village was second to none. Under the Dai Hokage and the Third Hokage.

Many times, the Third Hokage secretly speculated on what kind of person could lead Yanyin Village to create such an amazing miracle.

However, today, when the mystery was revealed, the Third Hokage discovered that the person he had just praised and admired was actually the person he had looked down on before.

This is undoubtedly a great irony for the Third Hokage.

"Yanyin Village is run by you? That means..."

"Yes, I am the 'Kami-sama' who suddenly appeared in the Smoke Hidden Village five years ago, and is now the first generation Smoke Shadow." Uchiha Matsuri said quite proudly.

Uchiha Matsuri is also very proud of the development of Yanyin Village.

In fact, Uchiha Festival can also bear this kind of pride and pride.

The miracle of Yanyin Village is basically due to the good management of the Uchiha Festival.

Uchiha Matsuri, on the other hand, slapped the Third Hokage in the face with practical actions:

Your success in the Smoke Hidden Village is not something you, the Third Hokage, who brought Konoha into its glory days, can achieve!

However, what Uchiha Matsuri didn't know was that even the Third Hokage had previously commented that Uchiha Matsuri "in terms of his ability to govern the village, he is not as good as the first generation Enokage."

"It seems that I really misjudged you." The Third Hokage shook his head, trying to wake himself up from the shock.

The Third Hokage always believed that compared to Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Matsuri was not a person who could manage a ninja village well.

However, now, Uchiha Matsuri has proven himself with practical actions.

Nowadays, in terms of strength, Uchiha Matsuri is stronger than Namikaze Minato. In terms of managing the village, Uchiha Matsuri is several blocks ahead of Namikaze Minato. In terms of prestige, Uchiha Matsuri is more prestigious in Yangakure Village than Namikaze Minato is. Konoha's reputation is much higher...

With such a comparison, the Third Hokage suddenly discovered that if Uchiha Matsuri's Uchiha clan's bloodline was not conducive to being a Hokage, Uchiha Matsuri would have done better than Namikaze Minato in any other condition.

This was something the Third Hokage never expected.

"Everything is irreversible..." Uchiha Matsuri clenched his fists, and his fingers made a "pop" sound when Uchiha Matsuri squeezed them.

"So, let's talk about business! I came to you today, not to complain to you..." Uchiha Matsuri took a deep breath.
