Chapter 156: The Praise of Pub Speech
Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, frowned and inquired about the recent strange movements of the Senju clan.
"Hokage-sama, nothing has happened to the Senju clan recently, except that the major families have visited the Senju clan..."
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard that the Senju clan did not expand its influence at this critical juncture, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he heard about other families, anger rose in his eyes.
"What have these families done recently?"
"Hokage-sama, in recent days, the major families, Hyuga... Uchiha..."
Listening to the report from the Anbu, before Sarutobi Hiruzen said anything, Utane Koharu beside him looked visibly unhappy and snorted coldly:
"Huruzen, look at these ambitious families. Can't they see the current situation in the ninja world? They actually want to let the Senju cause trouble at this time."
The Anbu who was reporting from below said something strange under his mask.
"However, in recent days, Deputy Director of the Police Department Uchiha Ye has frequently given speeches in taverns, but he is trying to stabilize and reconcile the conflicts in the village. This is what he preached during his speeches."
After the Anbu handed over the information respectfully, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment. He didn't expect that at this time, the first person to help him would be Uchiha.
The other families were eager to have a new Hokage for the Senju clan, but this young Uchiha, whom he did not take seriously, actually had such vision and mind.
"I understand."
Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's signal, the Anbu instantly disappeared in the office. Looking at the curious eyes of Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, he showed the intelligence scroll in his hand to them.
"It seems that not all people in Konoha are narrow-minded, and from this point we can see that the major families themselves are not united.
The Senju clan had radical and stable factions before, the same is true for the Uchiha clan, and the Hyuga clan has a distinction between the main family and the branch family. "
With a solemn expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed out the problems that existed in the major families. As long as there was time, these families were not unbreakable.
After reading the information, the two did not say anything good about Uchiha. Instead, Mito Menen frowned and nodded.
"Yes, the major families have never been united, but with the intensification of conflicts in the village, Hiruzen, we must grasp the balance and not cause unrest."
They wanted to cause conflicts between civilian ninjas and wealthy ninjas, but they also didn't want to cause civil unrest at this critical juncture.
They understood this from the beginning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and sighed after hearing this, "The Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans, as well as the Senju, are all reasonable people, and this balance is easy to grasp.
Now I just hope that this time the war doesn’t turn out like World War I!”
When internal conflicts become saturated and war breaks out, they can be directly transferred to the outside world. This is a trick they even use in the ninja world.
But at the same time, they hoped that the Ninja World War would break out to divert internal conflicts, but they did not want the four major ninja villages to unite again, so they began planning to stir up discord among other major ninja villages early on.
"Since the Senju clan hasn't made any movement, I think Mito-sama is also waiting for us. I will take Nako to visit the Senju clan tonight."
Sarutobi Hiruzen could not ignore the good intentions of the Senju Release. Everyone wanted a stable and peaceful village.
"But Hiruzen, Tsunade inherited this title obviously because she wanted to..."
Utane Koharu said this unwillingly, but Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a faint smile.
"Isn't it the Fourth Hokage? You and I are both of this age now. While we still have the strength, wouldn't it be better for us old friends to join forces and lead Konoha through this crisis again, and then pass Konoha to future generations?"
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was only 49 years old, and had not yet reached the stage where he becomes more stubborn as he gets older.
He also wanted to lead Konoha to achieve a brilliant victory in the last period of his life.
The Third Hokage of Konoha led Konoha from the First World War, the Second World War to the Third World War. With such a resume and glory, he can be called the strongest Hokage in history.
At the thought of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen became excited and immersed in the supreme glory in his fantasy. He would become the strongest Hokage in the ninja world.
……
Tavern.
"The current situation in the ninja world requires stability in the village. The rumors outside are all intended to cause unrest in Konoha! They are all intended to provoke a war in the village.
If the Third Hokage was really a power-hungry person, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. He would just start a war, and during the war, a new Hokage could not be elected. So, these are all enemy spies..."
At this time in the tavern, Uchiha Ye was giving an impassioned speech, talking about the turbulent situation in the ninja world today, and that a ninja war would break out if one was not careful.
Then he talked about the various rumors in the village today, as well as the countless ninjas from enemy countries throwing mud at them, and encouraged everyone not to believe them.
In the end, he even threw out a decisive blow: if all this was true, it would be too troublesome, and all problems could be solved by provoking a war in the Ninja World.
It has to be said that this straightforward statement brought a huge hurricane to Konoha, especially under the regime of the Third Hokage in recent years, he had the support of countless civilian ninjas.
"The true will of fire is that we must protect the future of the young people in the village. I believe that if Konoha encounters a crisis, the Third Hokage will defeat the enemy with the force of thunder..."
In the tavern, countless family ninjas and civilian ninjas gathered, each with flushed faces, listening to Uchiha Ye's speech.
At this time, the passionate Uchiha Ye felt more and more at ease after several speeches. Under his firm expression, he sneered in his heart.
"Old man, no matter how high you are praised and how popular you are now, you will be miserable when you fall!"
He knew the key points of the outbreak of the Third World War better than anyone else. With the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the Sand Village directly transferred its internal conflicts to the external war.
The spearhead was pointed directly at Konoha, saying that Konoha was the one who harmed their Third Kazekage.
Once the bomb explodes, well, it doesn't matter whether it's shit or not. The importance of the Kage of a village is such that the more he brags about it now, the more confused the Third Hokage will be.
"By then, I won't have to do anything. All the ninja villages that are greedy for the resources of the Land of Fire will take action. The Third Hokage is so greedy for the power of Hokage that he will not hesitate to start the Third Ninja World War. Tsk tsk."
At this time, Uchiha Ye's face was full of smiles. His reputation had been dealt a huge blow, and the third generation urgently needed to prove himself.
So what could be better than leading Konoha to victory in a beautiful third war?
Unfortunately, countless Konoha ninjas today are blinded by the quick victory of the Second World War and believe that the four major ninja villages are vulnerable. Only he knows how tragic the Third World War was.
"Brother Kakashi, look it's Teacher Ye!"
At this time, in a corner of the tavern, Uchiha Shisui was talking excitedly, while Kakashi beside him nodded weakly, but his dead fish eyes revealed a complicated look.
Although he is young, what he has experienced during this period has made him grow rapidly, and he can naturally see the real purpose of his teacher's unremitting speech.
"For the stability and peace of the village! Teacher Ye is a ninja who truly inherited the legacy of the will of fire."
Looking at the figure in the tavern, a true image of the will of fire was established in Kakashi Hatake's heart. Looking at Kakashi Hatake's original life, you want him to rebel through the White Fang incident? It's impossible. Describe Kakashi's life in one sentence.
A person who should have turned evil actually lived in the sunshine. This person is Kakashi.
When it comes to loyalty to the village, Kakashi Hatake inherited this from his father.
There were even too many ninjas loyal to their own village, so Uchiha Ye never thought of relying on the power of the wealthy and powerful to directly compete with the Third Hokage and others from the very beginning.
He wanted to dismantle the regime of the Third Hokage step by step, and let this group of people experience the loneliness and isolation that the Uchiha experienced in the original work.
The more passionate his speech is now, the crazier this group of people will be in the future.
"Teacher Ye!"
The figure of Uchiha Ye left another indelible mark on the young Shisui's heart, and he looked at his teacher even more fanatically.
My teacher's vision has expanded beyond the family and is now looking at the village and even the entire ninja world.
After Uchiha Ye's series of speeches, although there were conflicts between civilian ninjas and the big clans, everyone had a common bottom line, that is the village!
Therefore, both parties chose to acquiesce to Uchiha Ye's speech and spread it everywhere. For a while, the previous uproar in Konoha Village actually showed a trend of stabilizing.
However, only Uchiha Ye himself knows that no matter how good the effect is now, how serious the consequences will be when it backfires in the future.
……
Thousand Hands Clan.
"Tsunade, is this the Wood Release child you were talking about?!"
In a secret training ground, Uzumaki Mito, who was leaning on a cane, looked at the child who had just learned to master chakra and his eyes were moved when he saw the wooden stakes emerging from the soil.
"Grandma, this child's name is Yamato, Senju Yamato!"
After watching Uzumaki Kushina supporting her grandmother, Tsunade showed a determined look to the child who had just performed the Wood Release Ninjutsu.
"Thousand Hands?"
Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but her eyes tremble. It didn't matter what the child was called. What mattered was the surname Senju.
Tsunade nodded and said solemnly: "In the Root's secret laboratory, only this child has adapted to the Wood Release Cell, but almost all of his past memories have been erased, leaving only some instincts."
After being shocked, Uzumaki Mito looked at the limp wooden stake and couldn't help but frown with a hint of suspicion.
This Wood Release seemed to be not only a little different from her impression, but also a little ridiculously weak.
Tsunade naturally did not miss her grandmother's expression. She sighed helplessly and shook her head:
“Grandma, we have high hopes for Wood Release, thinking that as long as the Senju have Wood Release, they will be able to rise again, but it was Grandpa who pacified the chaotic world.
The strength of the ninja himself is the foundation, not the strength of Wood Release that made Grandpa."
After seeing that Wood Release was so weak, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but feel disappointed. Tsunade had previously experienced the state of Uchiha Ya swallowing Wood Release cells, so she was mentally prepared, so she comforted him:
"Grandma, there has only been one Ninja God in the entire Ninja World for a hundred years. In fact, Yamato's talent is not low. He is not inferior to the current Konoha's number one genius, Hatake Kakashi."
Tsunade wasn't just saying this to comfort him, it was the truth.
Yamato's brilliance was obscured by the First Generation's Wood Release. You have to know that he is younger than Kakashi, and his strength in the early days was closely following Kakashi.
"Tsunade-sama, Mito-sama!"
Although the young Yamato didn't understand some things, his innocent big eyes revealed timidity, as if he also understood that his strength was too weak.
"It's okay, Yamato. I just had some memories when Wood Release reappeared."
Tsunade smiled and comforted Yamato. This time the revival of Wood Release was indeed disappointing.
However, Uzumaki Mito had lived for so many years, and he calmed down in just a short moment. He walked forward with a kind smile and gently stroked Yamato's head.
"You are Yamato, right? From now on, you will be a member of the Senju clan. Maybe your Wood Release is not as strong as Hashirama's, but I believe in your future."
It has to be said that old people are very wise. Uzumaki Mito's few words, with the look of a kind grandmother, made Yamato feel like a family member.
"Tsunade, the monkeys are coming to visit tonight, and I'm afraid they're not just here for the Kyuubi."
After adjusting her mentality, Uzumaki Mito looked relaxed and spoke with a smile. However, when Kushina heard the news, her face suddenly changed and she looked at her grandmother reluctantly.
"Grandma, what about you!"
Although she had known this for a long time, when the day really came, Uzumaki Kushina still showed the reluctant look of a little girl.
Tsunade's eyes flashed with sadness, and then she sighed:
"Don't worry, grandma. I won't cause any conflict. She is my teacher after all."
After hearing Tsunade's answer, Uzumaki Mito smiled with satisfaction.
"Tsunade, you have really grown up. You are no longer a willful little girl. I can rest assured that grandma is gone."
When he said this, Uzumaki Mito paused, then stroked the Yamato in front of him, smiled and nodded:
"I believe in the future of this child. Let's send him to the Daimyofu first. It will be a good opportunity for him to be taught by Shengshu. I believe he will become your strong arm in the future."
Tsunade naturally understood what Uzumaki Mito was saying with a meaningful smile, no matter how lacking Yamato's Wood Release was.
Just based on the surname Senju, coupled with the wood escape technique, the influence created will definitely help her in the future.
"I understand grandma, don't worry."
Tsunade chuckled and nodded. If Yamato stayed in Konoha, the chance of him being exposed was too high, and he would not be able to grow smoothly. Instead, he could take advantage of the turmoil in the ninja world and go to the daimyo's mansion, where he could grow smoothly under the protection of another group of clan members.
"Rope tree!?"
Uzumaki Kushina on the side looked at Grandma Mito and Sister Tsunade in astonishment. At this moment, her mind was also full of thoughts.
It seems that Sheng Shu was not dead at that time, and there are many strange things about it.
This time, Uzumaki Mito said these things in front of Kushina and Yamato, showing full trust.
Especially for Yamato, this trust will slowly ferment over time.
Please support me with votes next month. The Third Kazekage will be dead soon and the blame will be put on him. Hehe, the Third War will be Hill's road to rise.
