Ninja World: Uchiha wants to rebel

"Konoha White Fang."

Orochimaru slowly spit out four words, his eyes were deep, as if he was recalling the past, "That was many years ago."

Long silver-white hair, a ponytail, a red triangle armband, and a sharp blade.

Looking back, I remember it vividly.

The ninja who holds a short chakra sword and whose name is known throughout the world, even the three ninjas respect him, is known as a genius.Many years ago, he had prevented Sunagakure's sneak attack and made a great contribution.

At that time, Orochimaru had just become famous on the Amegakure battlefield, and was much inferior to White Fang.

But such an elite jounin actually committed suicide at home.

It can't help but be embarrassing.

If something like this happens in the village, it will naturally attract the attention of all parties. The villagers in the streets and alleys, and countless ninjas, including Orochimaru, have received varying degrees of news.

Akashi wants to know the inside story:

"I heard that the mission failed because of the attempt to save his companions. He committed suicide due to various rumors and accusations from his companions. Later, he was handed over to the ANBU."

"That's mostly true."

Orochimaru shook his head regretfully, "Hatake Sakumo is an excellent ninja."

"But, Sakumo-senpai's reputation is so high that it even surpasses that of the Sannin at that time. Just because he failed in one mission, will he attract so many rumors?"

"Reputation? Haha, many people in the village have not even read a book. Their thoughts can be changed with a little guidance. People's emotions are the best to inspire. Just spread some public opinion and the direction of the wind will naturally change. The more praise you get, the better. The higher it is, the worse the fall will be. I guess Danzo must have done a lot of work. White Fang belongs to Sarutobi-sensei, so it is a big obstacle for him."

"The third generation is also worried that Sakumo-senpai has done too much, right?"

Akashi tentatively expressed his guess.

But Orochimaru shook his head.

He said: "Sarutobi-sensei's prestige at that time was unmatched by anyone. He was in good health and it was not time to worry about such things. Moreover, his primary political opponent was Danzo, who needed White Teeth's good and obedient sword. . In other words, White Fang’s character has been figured out a long time ago, and he is the kind of person who is willing to be used as a tool.”

"Sakumo-senpai is Danzo's obstacle to becoming Hokage?"

"No, White Fang has no chance of becoming Hokage, unless the teacher wants him to be."

Orochimaru spoke eloquently.

To put it bluntly, Konoha Village is a ninja alliance, and Hokage is the leader jointly elected by this interest group. There are two conditions, one is that he is strong enough, and the other is that the major families support him.

So it is not easy to become Hokage.

Without the support of his family behind him, White Fang's status and reputation in the hearts of the people were of no use at all, because civilians could not participate in Konoha's politics and did not even have the right to vote.

Doesn’t this incident prove it?

The so-called reputation collapsed at the first touch.

Only those who can represent the interests of major families can obtain a vote of confidence from the Jonin community. How many real civilians have become Jonin through hard work?

After all, each family monopolizes the upper class status.

The first generation and the second generation were unanimously recognized by all the clans that joined them to rise to the top by virtue of their strength and the status of the founding family. The third generation also has a lot of power behind them. He is from the Sarutobi wealthy family and is a disciple of the second generation. His classmates and friends are all representatives of the wealthy clan. There is also the support of the moderate Uchiha headed by Uchiha Kagami. As for the fourth generation, there is no difference between life and death. He is still supported by the interest groups of the third generation.

White Fang and Namikaze Minato belong to the same type of people. Even if they come to power, they will not be able to take power in a short time before the older generation truly leaves.

"White Fang is just a victim made by Danzo against the teacher." Orochimaru concluded.

"According to this, the Third Generation Master should come forward."

"war."

Orochimaru raised his head slightly and looked at the crescent moon in the sky with a solemn expression:

"At that time, the Earth Kingdom's actions became more and more frequent. The last war did not completely solve the problem of uneven development among the big countries, but instead aggravated the unfair distribution of resources. The peace bought with war could not be maintained soon. ”

"So the mission carried out by Sakumo-senpai..."

Akashi reacted.

Orochimaru nodded.

"Yes, this mission caused serious losses to the Fire Country, and there was a game between the daimyo and the senior officials.

"In normal times, White Fang's actions may not cause such an extreme reaction, but at the juncture of the upcoming war, such a thing is not allowed to happen. If someone abandons the mission for this reason, he will be forgiven or even praised, because of his reputation If they are treated differently according to their status, then the morale of the military will be shaken when war begins.

"What the nobles of the Fire Country care about is not a person's honor and life and death, but the upcoming Third Ninja War. They just need a negative example to knock everyone off.

"Kill one to serve as a warning to others.

"The essence of a ninja is a killing tool, and it is the bounden duty to complete the mission.

"Sacrificing one ninja in exchange for the cohesion of all ninjas, winning this war, and gaining more benefits may be more cost-effective in their eyes.

"White Fang did make a serious mistake. Although Sarutobi-sensei is unwilling to punish him severely, under the pressure from other senior officials, it is the most appropriate solution to remove White Fang from his post and let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors."

It looks like a small village with a small population, but a lot of intrigues about power.

Living in a place like this is very tiring.

After talking to Orochimaru, the information he got was indeed richer than the few words recorded on paper.

Akashi sighed: "Duanzo didn't expect that he would commit suicide, right?"

But Orochimaru looked calm: "If it were an ordinary ninja, he might not commit suicide, but it would be a ninja like White Fang who would do this."

Yes, White Fang is the heir to the Will of Fire.

Implementing the concept first proposed by the first Hokage, he fights to protect his family, friends, and next generation.

It's just that reality conflicts with his nindo, just like encountering the trolley problem.

So he slashed at the enemy with his sword, saved his companions, and maintained his nindo.

He slashed himself with a knife, apologized to the village, took responsibility for his mistakes, and found a way out of the predicament he couldn't get out of.

Orochimaru, who had seen through death, expressed regret for White Fang's death, but his tone was cold, as if he was watching the tragedy from a high wall and then made comments.

That's it.

Although it has little to do with him, it has a profound impact on Kakashi.

Alas, losing your father at a young age is one of the cruelest epitome of the ninja world.

The crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, and its light is even colder.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you can no longer see the heroism of Shinobi back then. In the final analysis, is it because your political wisdom and your own strength are not enough, or is it because you have begun to worry about gains and losses? Without the sharp blade of White Fang, will you become weaker?"

"Death is so ethereal..."

"It's inexplicably...sad." Orochimaru sighed, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly back to the laboratory.
