People Are In Konoha, Start With KyōKa Suigetsu

Speaking of the Hokage lineage, we have to first understand the core figure of the Hokage lineage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

What kind of person is this?

In the hearts of many Hokage fans, this is a scheming, power-hungry, despicable and shameless person.

Is it really so?

As Hokage, who has been in charge of Konoha Shinobi Village for more than three decades, is Sarutobi Hiruzen really just that?

First of all, let's be clear about what a leader is!

According to what Dongfang Yue once said to Tu Shan Yaya in the Fox Demon Little Matchmaker - the so-called leader is a lackey who has been kidnapped to the highest point by many forces, but a lackey who can't help himself!

This sentence speaks of the essence of a so-called leader.

Whether it is the world of Hokage, or the Earth where Aizen lived in his previous life, this is true!

As a leader, he seems to have supreme power, but in fact, he is always subject to the constraints of various factions within the organization.

Therefore, the core role of a leader is to balance and coordinate the various conflicting interest groups within the organization, so that they can eventually reach an agreement.

This, Sarutobi Hiruzen has done very well.

During his time in power, Konoha was generally relatively stable, no major changes occurred, and his handling of the various factions was relatively reasonable.

This is also the key to the long-term governance of the Hokage line!

And this is also the reason why Senju Tobirama did not choose Mitarashi Zixiao as his heir.

Mitarashi Zixiao is a clear-cut new faction. Everything he does is to safeguard the interests of himself and the new faction. Once he is brought into power, a huge conflict will inevitably break out between Konoha's great ninja clan and the new faction!

Second, we need to understand what kind of person Sarutobi Hiruzen is.

First of all, is he a power-loving, scheming person?

Yes, this old guy is definitely such a person!

In the original book, there is a scene where Orochimaru and Shimura Danzō talk...

At that time, Orochimaru clearly said that Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Namikaze Minato as the Fourth Hokage, just to support a puppet, and the good master and apprentice two control Konoha together.

Not to mention, after he was Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation, he also confessed his acquiescence and support to all actions of Shimura Danzō.

As for his control and brainwashing of the son of a hero, Uzumaki Naruto, as a child, it is not to be mentioned at all.

The disgust and contempt of him by Hokage fans is by no means the slightest injustice.

But on the other hand, we must also clearly know that Sarutobi Hiruzen does have a love for Konoha and the determination to give his life for Konoha.

This may seem contradictory, but in fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully.

Because humans are complex creatures, we cannot simply distinguish them in a black-and-white way.

Simply put, you cannot simply divide a person into good and bad.

For example, in the history of Aizen's previous life, China, there have been many people who have made great contributions to the entire country...

But how many of them are the so-called pure good people?

Among them, there are also some people with self-interest as the core, whose character is still quite despicable.

But they still did great things that were beneficial to the country and the nation.

Some of them are even generous with an idealistic attitude.

Even the bureaucrats and emperors in feudal society, there are some people who choose to smash their bones for the common good, not to mention in this Hokage world...

Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's choice to sacrifice for Senju Tobirama and others in his early years, or his heroic death in the final battle with Orochimaru, we can see Sarutobi Hiruzen's deep affection for Konoha.

And some policies during his time in charge of Konoha did have a positive effect on Konoha.

To sum up, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a person who is greedy for power, has a deep sense of city government, but also has deep feelings for Konoha, and there are people who make sacrifices for Konoha.

At the same time, he is also very skilled in Zhengzhi, and can balance the relationship between Konoha's major interest groups.

At a critical moment, for the sake of Konoha's overall interests, he can also kill the killer, brazenly destroy the Uchiha clan, and show his ruthless and decisive side.

From the above Sarutobi Hiruzen’s personal abilities and personality traits, we can also see the characteristics of the entire Hokage lineage!

In the original, Jiraiya had warned Tsunade that if Tsunade healed Orochimaru, he would kill Tsunade.

In Rain Shinobi Village, when he learned about the identities of Konan and Nagato, he chose to kill him decisively and mercilessly, without even the slightest hesitation.

In maintaining Konoha's interests, Jiraiya's ruthlessness and ruthlessness are no less than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

To use the evaluation of himself in his original work - he is nothing more than a butcher with blood on his hands!

And not to mention his personal abilities...

Jiraiya is Sarutobi Hiruzen's default Fifth Hokage heir.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen's death, the first thing Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu did was to let Jiraiya take over as Hokage.

And Fifth Hokage Tsunade, from the series of measures she took to take over as Hokage, can see her ability to govern Konoha herself.

And since Payne Six Paths invaded Konoha, after Tiandao Payne told her what happened to her, Tsunade was able to refute it without changing his face, saying that not only small countries were injured, but large countries were also hurt...

Frankly speaking, from God's point of view, Penn Six Paths' revenge on Konoha makes perfect sense.

But Tsunade still has the audacity to reprimand Penn Six Paths with a righteous attitude... It can be seen that the degree of hypocrisy in his heart is even worse than that of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Finally, from the inheritance of the first Hokage of Konoha to the seventh Hokage, from master and apprentice, or relatives, it can be clearly seen that the Hokage lineage has extreme control over power.

This is by no means the result of Sarutobi Hiruzen alone, but the common will of the entire Hokage lineage!

And with the ability of Hokage's lineage, he is resolute and ruthless, and it is also expected that he will be in charge of Konoha for a long time in the future.

Not to mention, the Hokage line is indeed full of talented people!

From the first to the fourth ninja war, the best in Konoha are often people from the Hokage lineage.

Although the current Hokage lineage has only mastered some ninjas, a small part of Anbu, and some administrative and logistical powers...

But when Sannin fully grows up, everything will change dramatically.

However, just as Aizen silently recalled the current situation of Konoha, a cold, dignified, but very concealed gaze suddenly swept across him, instantly bringing Aizen back to his senses.

This peep is very obscure, and if it weren't for Aizen's amazing perception ability, it would be impossible to find it.

Aizen appeared calm on the surface, but he secretly searched for the source of this malice in his heart.

However, that malicious gaze seemed to be just an inadvertent glance, not targeting Aizen at all.

Aizen is not in a hurry, pretending to be thoughtful on the surface, but always vigilant behind the scenes.

In such an expert meeting, it is impossible for the other party to glance at him with such eyes for a long time...

If nothing else, Jiraiya will not be able to pass this level.

However, as long as the other party is malicious towards him, he will definitely scan himself again in the next time.

Therefore, Aizen just needs to wait patiently.

Sure enough, after Aizen waited patiently for about ten minutes, the familiar malicious eyes swept over again...

Aizen's eyes pretended to be inadvertent, and the source of maliciousness was immediately locked...
