Konoha, outsiders can also be Hokage

Back in Konoha, Shinnosuke took the lead in going to the Hokage Building to report to the Third Hokage.

"Isn't this Shinnosuke? Long time no see!" At this time, the Third Hokage pushed the documents on the table and said with a smile to Shinnosuke who walked in.

This period can be said to be the peak moment of the Third Hokage. Although he did not have many achievements on the battlefield, it is undeniable that when the Second Hokage died in Konoha, it was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who led everyone to stand. out.

Whether facing the so-called provocation of demigods or the siege of the other four major nations, under his leadership, the enemies were repelled one by one. Because of the addition of the Uzumaki clan, many wars that originally required human lives were fought with astonishing results. The loss rate is so compared to other ninja villages, although Konoha has more than a dozen in the entire ninja world, there are quite a few surviving ninjas.

Originally, at the beginning of the war, there were nearly 4.5 ninjas in Konoha. However, after several years of war, plus the addition of new graduates every year, at the end of the 39-year war in Konoha, there were still more than 4 active ninjas in Konoha.

Compared with other ninja villages, there are less than 1.5 sand ninjas and fog ninjas, and there are only over 2 cloud ninjas left. There are more rock ninjas, only 1000. The worst ones are the air ninjas and the rain ninjas. The large army of air ninjas After being defeated by Konoha, the village was directly wiped out by the Iwa Ninja. At the peak of the Rain Ninja's peak, there were three thousand headquarters and three thousand external ninjas. At the end of the war, there were only about [-] people left.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen is something to be proud of. At this time, he already had an idea in his mind, maybe I am really the strongest Hokage?Even the first Hokage and the second Hokage have not achieved such a record!

Until now, there are fewer and fewer Konoha ninjas who have witnessed the power of the first Hokage. In various departments of the village, especially the ninja school, there have been faint rumors that the third Hokage is the strongest Hokage.

"Hahaha, I was delayed because of something small in the Land of Rain. I'm really sorry!" Shinnosuke scratched his head and sat across from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing Shinnosuke being so humble, a hint of displeasure flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes, but he did not show it. Instead, he asked Konan behind him: "What's going on?"

"The orphan I picked up in the Rain Ninja Village. I saw how pitiful she was and found that she had some ninja talent, so I decided to let the Uzumaki clan adopt her."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Konan who was timidly following Shinnosuke, and inadvertently used the detection ninjutsu. He didn't find anything special, but it was unknown if he had some special bloodline.

"Then you go to Koharu's place to complete the formalities!" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't mean to embarrass Shinnosuke. Making moves on these small things was Shimura Danzo's specialty. Sarutobi Hiruzen was not that boring.

"Thank you Hokage-sama!"

"Now that the Great Ninja War is over, what do you think about your work?" Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the Hokage's seat and asked in a deep voice.

Shinnosuke shrugged: "I don't have any idea, just let me be an ordinary jounin!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen would never give him a chance to shirk. He turned around and began to ask for his opinion: "What about ANBU? If you are willing to join, I can directly give you the authority of captain!"

Konoha Anbu is a huge organization. It originally had four brigades and a training brigade, with a total of about 500 people. The training brigade has become independent and is the root that Danzo is now in charge of.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took advantage of the lack of manpower and expanded a supplementary brigade. Therefore, after the roots became independent, the current ANBU still has 500 people.

This is a force directly under the Hokage. It has now begun to slowly erode the rights of the major departments of the property. It is now mainly responsible for Konoha's security, counter-intelligence and other activities, and has many business overlaps with the Security Department and the Torture Department.

Shinnosuke shook his head. He was not a fool like Uchiha Itachi or Uchiha Shisui. He thought that becoming a subordinate of the Hokage would make the other party appreciate you, and the other party would accept your political ideas, and finally involved himself and his clan members. .

"I'm used to being idle, but I don't have the heart to carry out missions all day long. Ever since I joined Konoha, I've been either fighting or on the way to fight. I'd better rest for a while first!"

"I understand how you feel, but there really aren't any good job arrangements!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's vague threat was a hint to Shinnosuke that the Anbu captain was the best bargaining chip he could give, and other departments should not even think about it.

Shinnosuke waved his hand and said: "There is no best. I don't want to work hard and have no experience in department management. It's better not to harm everyone. If there is really no way to arrange it, please put me in the sealing barrier department. !”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up. He originally thought that Shinnosuke would seek a position in the jounin class under his teacher Sakumo Hatake, so that someone would protect him and expand the influence of the Uzumaki clan.

The Sealing Barrier Department is a department led by Uzumaki Dairo, so it doesn't matter if Shinnosuke is placed in it.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen still said hypocritically: "This is not good. Others know that we think Konoha treats our heroes harshly!"

Shinnosuke smiled and said: "As a member of the Uzumaki clan, I use various ninjutsu to fight against the enemy all day long. I know very few sealing techniques, which is really a disgrace to my family. I just want to take this opportunity to settle down for a few years."

Seeing that Shinnosuke was sincere, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and then the two talked for nearly an hour.Shinnosuke took Konan out of the Hokage Building.

"Let Danzo and Men Yan come for a visit!"

……

Just when Shinnosuke went to complete the formalities for Konan, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already begun a shady conspiracy with the elders!

"What do you mean by him, or what does Uzumaki Dairo mean?"

Danzo groped for his slightly scarred chin, but couldn't think of any countermeasures. He could only say: "Maybe retreat is the way to advance!"

"Now that the Second Ninja War is over, even if he still wants to make meritorious deeds, he has no chance!" Danzo added with his legs crossed.

"Now the Uzumaki clan and Hatake Sakumo are united. Although they have three shadow-level strongmen and one Jinchuuriki, there are supporters of Konoha's big clan, the Uzumaki clan and Hatake Sakumo, that is, some of the small ninja clan. support!

But overall, there is still a big gap between us and us. You, me, Feng Feng and the Sannin can overwhelm each other at the level of shadow-level masters. As for the supporters, as the Hokage, you lead everyone to win World War II. The big and small families include There is no reason for civilian ninjas to support an outsider! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up. He was retreating in order to keep a low profile and bide his time. It was indeed possible as Danzo said.

He holds the Hokage's righteousness in his hands, and whether he is a shadow-level powerhouse or a supporter below, he is much stronger than his opponent. It is only natural that they do not have the courage to confront him directly.

While the two were having a heated discussion, Mito Kadeni, who had always been a little transparent, suddenly spoke.

"We also need to launch our next generation of leaders, and we cannot let the Uzumaki clan be the preeminent one!"
