I haven't seen fireworks.

The lobby of the Sarutobi Clan is now a temporary meeting room for the Konoha executives.

Orochimaru sat calmly at the first place, and the chiefs of the various clans below, Jonin naturally found their own seat, and then looked at their noses and their hearts with their noses.

With no private soldiers in their hands, and facing the Fourth Hokage who came with the power of heaven, the patriarchs who used to behave in a way that was not arrogant but could still be regarded as flamboyant now seemed weak.

"Everyone, everyone has seen the scene just now, so what do you think?" After sitting for a long time, Orochimaru finally spoke.

"I don't think there is any problem with the Fourth Hokage's trial of the former Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed guilty of a heinous crime!"

"Yeah, we never thought that he would be greedy for so much money!"

"Our family has been in the family for more than 400 years, and I have never seen so much money!"

The clan leaders below seemed to have received an order and immediately started talking. However, they saw that Orochimaru's expression was not very good, and their voices involuntarily became quieter as they spoke.

What do you mean, we blame your teacher, you are not happy?

But it was obviously you who started the group first, and you were also the one who took action...

The clan leaders felt a little aggrieved, but they didn't dare to say anything, so the whole room quickly became quiet.

Orochimaru shook his head, and then sighed: "Everyone is right, but I didn't hear what I wanted to hear!"

"Since the end of the trial, I have been thinking about why such a problem occurred!" Orochimaru asked softly: "Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Hokage of Konoha Village and the head of the village. Shouldn't he do his best to consider the village? Why? Why didn't the money he got from the daimyo be used to develop Konoha Village, but instead he hid it under his family's house? He even wanted to put his son in power even at the expense of damaging the top management of Konoha Village!"

"Because he is greedy?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Orochimaru shook his head: "You are right, but not all right!"

"Since the former Hokage always likes to use the word interest, then I will use interest to explain this problem!" Orochimaru said: "We all have our own interests, personal interests, family interests, village interests..."

"As the head of a village, of course, you should put the interests of the village first, and the interests of the family and individuals second. But the former Hokage obviously got this order wrong. He put the interests of the family and individuals first. Putting the interests of the village last is the primary reason why he made these mistakes!"

The clan leaders thought for a moment and then nodded. Although they had never heard of this statement before, the truth was not complicated and they could be understood as soon as they heard it.

After understanding it, the feeling is that it is incisive!

"Then why does he put the interests of the family first and the interests of the village behind?" Orochimaru continued to ask.

"This..." The clan leaders shook their heads. I am bronze, you ask me?

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and then said: "I think this is the same reason why you kept your private soldiers before. He doesn't feel safe!"

"This sense of security is manifested in the fact that the Sarutobi clan is not the strongest clan in Konoha. If he puts the interests of the village first and favors the capable and the mediocre, then the fastest growing clans must be the Hyuga and Uchiha clans. .”

"But as we all know, both of your families are very closed-minded. You don't like outsiders to interfere in your family's internal affairs, and you don't like to cooperate with the Hokage's work. In addition, there are a large number of private soldiers within your two families. The growth of your two families, whether it is It’s not a good thing for Konoha or the Sarutobi clan!”

"This..." Hinata Hizashi and Fugaku looked at each other, how come it involves us?

But if you think about it carefully, this is really the truth. The Uchiha clan is already strong. If it is allowed to develop, the Uchiha clan will develop into thousands and tens of thousands of people.

Just imagine, are you afraid of ten thousand Uchiha troops with Sharingan activated?

I'm so afraid that I won't be able to sleep well!

"Internally, he is also worried. Although he plans to let Shinnosuke take over, this is all part of the plan, and everyone knows that the plan cannot keep up with changes. If the Fourth Hokage is out of control, there will be no gap for him to exploit, or if Shinnosuke is halfway through If he encounters an accident and dies unfortunately, all his plans will come to nothing!"

"If the plan fails, not only will Shinnosuke be unable to ascend to the throne, but the Sarutobi clan may not have anything to do with the position of Hokage in the next few decades or even hundreds of years!"

"At that time, these hundreds of billions of funds will become the foundation of the Sarutobi clan. It can guarantee that even if there is no Hokage in the clan, even if the family is suppressed by the new Hokage, with this money, it can still develop smoothly!"

So this is ah!

The clan leaders suddenly became enlightened. No wonder Sarutobi Yun didn't know where the money was hidden. It should be something that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to pass down from generation to generation. Naturally, he couldn't tell others easily. He might have to wait until he died before using his last words. Way to pass it on!

But someone felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, and after thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Then, if you say that, isn't it true that as long as Hokage doesn't come from our Uchiha or Hyuga clan, our two clans are destined to be suppressed?" Fuyue asked with cold sweat.

If it were the previous Hokage, even if he was suppressed, he would not dare to ask.

But Orochimaru's previous behavior gave him a certain degree of confidence. He felt that the Fourth Hokage would not be so...

"Yes!" Orochimaru gave a definite answer without hesitation.

"How could this be possible..." Fugaku was stunned, and his face suddenly turned pale.

So, the Uchiha clan will continue to be suppressed?

"Do you want to be suppressed?" Orochimaru asked.

"Of course not!" Uchiha Fugaku shook his head directly.

"What about you guys?" Orochimaru asked Hinata Hyuzu again.

"Of course we don't want to either!" Hinata Hizuru also shook his head.

"However, if you are not suppressed, with your abilities, you can easily dominate Konoha. When the time comes, Konoha will no longer be named Hinata, but also Uchiha. What will happen?" Orochimaru continued to ask. .

"Ah this..." Fugaku and Hinata Hizu both felt that such a future was quite good, but of course they knew it was impossible.

Don't say you haven't risen yet, even if you just have this sign, other families will take action directly against you when they see that the situation is not going well.

It's only been a few years since the Warring States Period when Uchiha and Senju dominated, but the little family hasn't forgotten the days of trembling under the feet of these two giants, so why not?

"Although I have only been on official business for three days, you should have already understood some of my behavior. I like to be open and honest, and I will explain the truth to you clearly. I will not fool my subordinates or do something that is unclear!" Orochimaru said calmly. Said: "You two must also understand that as long as you put the interests of the village first, you two tribes will definitely be suppressed!"

Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizuru were silent, and Orochimaru had the second half of the sentence.

If the interests of the family are put first, they will still be suppressed, and at the same time, a second Sarutobi Hiruzen will appear in the village.

Tsk, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became a curse word.

"This..." Fugaku looked miserable and unwilling: "Are we, the Uchiha clan, destined to be suppressed? This is fair to the village, but unfair to us!"

"Yes!" Hinata Hyuzu also nodded immediately. It should not give an inch when it comes to the interests of the family, let alone the issue of fairness now.

Orochimaru smiled softly: "This is the second question. Why will the rise of your two clans lead to the decline of Konoha? Why should the interests of your two clans be sacrificed for the benefit of Konoha?"

"This..." Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi looked at each other: "Yes, why, if we are strong, isn't it equal to the strength of Konoha?"

"You don't want to watch the drama either. Without Uchiha and Hinata, it will be Shimura, Inokacho, any clan is the same! The former Hokage is the precedent!" Orochimaru looked at the patriarchs of several small and medium families next to him : "The former Hokage hoped that the Hokage's surname would always be Sarutobi, don't you want the Hokage's surname to be Nara forever, and Shimura forever?"

Several families swallowed, and reasoned, the temptation is really great.

Although I knew I should deny it, I couldn't deny it in my heart.

"When your people are in position, won't you move the money from the village to your home?" Orochimaru continued to ask.

"This...."

The clan leaders were speechless when asked. To be reasonable, although they disdain Hiruzen Sarutobi's behavior, if I were Hiruzen Sarutobi, I might not necessarily do better than him!

"Then, what should we do? Will the position of Hokage be handed over to civilian ninjas in the future?" Fugaku asked.

Orochimaru shook his head: "Common ninjas like me, Jiraiya, and Minato are lucky to have one every few decades. They will be there from generation to generation. How can the Hokage who takes office have no strength to convince you guys?" The family might simply become the puppets of the major families..."

"Can you still do it like this?" The patriarchs were taken aback for a moment, feeling like they were being taught a lesson, but it's a pity that Orochimaru is in power now, so they don't have the opportunity to practice.

"This won't work, that won't work either, so our families are doomed to be suppressed?" Fugaku's voice was a little sad. He had been busy all his life for the rise of the Uchiha clan, but you tell me, this matter is not possible at all. impossible?

Orochimaru nodded: "Actually, when I look around every village, everyone is doing the same thing. In any village that is not a super strong one, there is a common situation of suppressing ninja families, such as Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure. The Onoki clan of the village was not considered a powerful clan before, but after the Two Scales Onoki came to power, the Onoki clan also suppressed other clans..."

Fu Yue's heart is cold, so whether it is a commoner or a family ninja, the family will be suppressed!

Then why are we adding this village? Why didn’t anyone tell us this truth a few years ago?

"Huo, Hokage-sama, do you have a solution here?" Patriarch Nara suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Fuyue was taken aback, right!

None of the questions raised by Orochimaru have not been resolved.

The same is true for this question, otherwise he would have no reason to say it specifically, is it to prepare the major families to be suppressed?

It was the Nara patriarch who was smart enough to detect the problem at a glance.

Orochimaru smiled and nodded: "I do have an idea, but before that, I want to ask you a question, why the village will be damaged when the family grows."

"What is the relationship between the family and the village?"

"The interests of the family and the interests of the village, is the relationship between the two prosperous and mutually destructive, or is it a relationship of ups and downs and ups and downs?"
