Konoha: Make the Uchiha Great Again

Chapter 121 Right and Wrong (Part )
It is indeed difficult to say who is right or wrong in the matter of Sarutobi Hiruzen, because people look at the issue from different perspectives.

But now that Shisui had asked, Yuhara was willing to discuss it with him briefly, and he also planned to give Shisui some 'advanced' knowledge points.

"Shisui, the first thing to look at when looking at a problem is to consider your position.

The world is complex, and good and evil, right and wrong are never so absolute, because everyone has his or her own stance.

Always remember that the world is never as black and white as you imagine it to be, because it may very well be a delicate gray.

So when we think about problems, we have to be more comprehensive.”

Hahara looked at Shisui with a smile, then he slowly asked as he walked.

"If you look at it from Sarutobi Hiruzen's perspective, he is indeed right, because Konoha really had no chance to recover after the Second Ninja World War.

Soon they were forced to start the Third Ninja World War, and this time the war was even more brutal, with Konoha being besieged by the four major ninja villages.

Although Konoha won in the end, it was just a miserable victory. After all, Konoha's foundation was almost completely destroyed.

Even though Konoha did not ask for anything from the Tsuchikage in the final negotiations, of course, there is one thing that cannot be avoided here.

That is, our Hokage probably hoped that the Tsuchikage would keep these supplies and fight to the death with Kumogakure, but in the end, it went against his wishes."

On the surface, the Third War was a siege of Konoha by the four major ninja villages, but in fact they were not of one mind at all.

The most typical examples are Ye Cang and the third Raikage.

Ye Cang was used by the newly appointed Kazekage, Rasa, to stabilize the situation. At the same time, in order to have energy to deal with Iwagakure, he was sent to the Kirigakure.

Although Yuhara was really curious as to why the two ninja villages of Sunagakure and Kirigakure, which were thousands of miles apart, could fight each other, after all, they really had no conflicts of interest.

But after thinking about it, he wondered if the people of the Hidden Mist Village thought that the insects from the Hidden Sand Village surrendered too quickly when facing Konoha.

This gave Konoha the energy and strength to turn around and deal with them in the Land of Whirlpools, ultimately leading to their defeat, and therefore taking some retaliatory action or something like that.

The third Raikage died an even more miserable death. He was exhausted to death by being raped by tens of thousands of people for three days and three nights. In fact, he was fighting on the front line between Iwagakure and Konoha. He wanted to prepare for a possible battle with Iwagakure in the future, so he went to gather intelligence.

The relationship between Kumogakure and Iwagakure is not good, and the conflicts between them are very deep.

This time, the Third Raikage died at the hands of Iwagakure. How could they possibly bear it?
It has to be said that it was the death of the Third Raikage that made the current Fourth Raikage choose to temporarily cease fire with Konoha and return to the village to prepare for the war against Iwagakure.

The Iwagakure side noticed the actions of the Kumogakure, and at the same time, the morale of the front line was greatly reduced because Namikaze Shui was outnumbered fifty by one.

They also immediately chose to cease fire with Konoha and prepared to deal with Kumogakure with all their strength.

To be frank, it was because of the killing of the Third Raikage by Iwagakure that the Third Ninja World War, which was about to end in an unknown amount of time, was stopped.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's reason for not wanting compensation was that he hoped the two sides would fight each other so that he could get some respite.

But contrary to expectations, in the end both sides just pretended to fight and had no intention of going to war with each other.

He suffered a lot because of this series of operations, and finally he had to abdicate, which led to the birth of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the years of war have long made people disgusted, and it is not just Konoha that has suffered huge losses, other ninja villages have also suffered incalculable losses.

The only one that retained its strength was the Hidden Cloud Village, because their biggest loss might be the death of one of their shadows.

Under such circumstances, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki naturally did not want the war to continue.

The Fourth Raikage Ai had just taken office and was not yet firmly established. Even if he was eager for revenge, his subordinates would not let him do whatever he wanted.

But no matter what, this incident fully demonstrated their distrust of each other, and it was this war of distrust that ended.

"At that time, Konoha was already at the end of its rope and had to resort to recuperation to recover."

Yuhara looked at the sunset in the sky, he couldn't help but smile and pointed, then continued.

"At that time, Konoha was probably like this sunset in the eyes of many people. Even though he won the three wars, he paid a heavy price. Our Third Hokage probably thought the same way.

Therefore, after the Hidden Cloud Village expressed its hope to sign a peace agreement a few years ago, he became a little too carried away and completely forgot the precautions he should have taken as a Kage, which led to the tragedy. "

Shisui was an eyewitness to this period of history, since he had already served in the Anbu during this period, but he couldn't help but sigh when it was mentioned again.

At that time, they really let their guard down too much and were too indulgent to those foreign Kumogakure ninjas. With Sarutobi Hiruzen's tacit approval, those guys could wander around Konoha without restraint.

The result was that they could openly inquire about Konoha's intelligence, which led to the clear intelligence of the Hyuga clan, and ultimately caused such a tragedy.

"As I said earlier, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that Konoha was at the end of its rope and needed time to recuperate and restore its strength."

While Shisui was sighing, Hanehara spoke again, and this time his voice became much more serious.

"From his perspective, what he has to do is to prevent the situation from escalating and prevent war from breaking out again.

Perhaps he had evaluated all aspects, which led him to conclude that Konoha would inevitably lose if this war broke out.

Therefore, he made a resolute choice, that is, he would rather exchange the life of one person or even a family for peace. After all, between two evils, he would choose the lesser one.

Shisui, if you look at it this way, do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen is wrong?"

is it wrong?
When Shisui heard Yuhara's question and thought back to what Yuhara said, he really wanted to answer: That's right!

Because from the perspective of the Hokage, there were indeed not many choices at that time. Sacrificing one person's life in exchange for peace, isn't this a good thing? But Shisui didn't dare to answer at all, because he didn't dare to forget that Yuhara's evaluation and opinion on this matter was a contradictory answer.

This means that Yuhara has other answers, other answers that conflict with the current answer that seems to be extremely correct.

Taking a deep breath, Shisui shook his head, “I don’t know, Habara.

If it were someone else, I would probably answer yes without hesitation.

But facing you, I dare not give any answer at all, because I know that my answer may not be practical at all. "

"Be more confident, Shisui."

Seeing Shisui like this, Yuhara couldn't help but feel a little funny, he reached out and patted Shisui's shoulder before continuing to speak.

“I have said that if you look at this question from different perspectives, you will get different answers.

However, our current position requires us to look at problems from more than just a single perspective. We need to think and feel in a more comprehensive and holistic way.

Now that we have talked about Sarutobi Hiruzen's position, let's talk about the situation in the ninja world.

Konoha has had a tough time these years, the mission volume has plummeted, and the economy is not doing well. Have you ever considered the reasons?"

"Well." Shisui couldn't help but scratch his head when facing Yuhara's question. He was really not good at this kind of thing: "Is it because of the daimyo?"

"The daimyo is one reason, but the bigger reason is Konoha's overall image."

Habara smiled and shook his head, then he brought up a concept that was both unfamiliar and familiar to Shisui.

"A family has its own image, and a ninja village naturally has its own image.

The main reason why the Uchiha people were so miserable was because of the impression we gave to other people in the village, which affected our image in their hearts.

The same goes for the Ninja Village. We won the three battles. Even if it was a pyrrhic victory, we defeated four enemies alone. Such prestige is an intangible wealth.

However, with the invasion of Kumogakure, we chose to keep quiet, and also due to the unexpected death of the Yondaime eight years ago.

This immediately gave the entire ninja world the impression that Konoha was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, causing Konoha's credibility to plummet.

Naturally, those clients did not dare to entrust the tasks to Konoha, and these commissions naturally fell into the hands of more powerful and credible ninja villages.

"During your years in the Anbu, you should have noticed that Kumogakure has made great progress, right?"

Shisui nodded seriously, as an Anbu member he had access to a lot of information, so he naturally knew how Kumogakure had developed over the years.

But he never thought that the development of Kumogakure was achieved by stepping on Konoha, and was obtained through Sarutobi Hiruzen's concession!

This made him involuntarily waver in his original belief that Sarutobi Hiruzen had made the right choice.

"Because of this choice, we left a very bad impression on the ninja world. Also, because of this choice, the situation in Konoha Village is not good.

The death of the Fourth Hokage and the re-emergence of Sarutobi Hiruzen in power had already made many members of the big families unhappy.

However, for the sake of Konoha's stability, and considering that there is no suitable candidate for Hokage at the moment, there was no follow-up to this matter.

However, with the outbreak of this incident, the dissatisfaction of all the major families towards Sarutobi Hiruzen reached a new peak.

Shisui, you know, the original purpose of the village was to protect everyone, especially children.

During the Third World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen had violated the original purpose of establishing the village by letting the children go to the battlefield.

What's more, the establishment of the village itself relied on the union of the major ninja clans, plus the surrender of civilian ninjas, which led to the establishment of Konoha.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions are damaging the most fundamental interests of the village, and all the ninja families are naturally dissatisfied with his actions.

They will all be worried, since Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to push Hinata out this time, who will be the next one? Will it be their turn? "

At this point, Yuhara paused slightly, his eyes locked on Shisui who looked a little uneasy, and finally he turned to look at the Hokage Rock.

"And Sarutobi Hiruzen's arbitrary behavior this time seems to be for Konoha, and it seems that everything he did was to bring peace to the ninja world.

But in fact he overlooked a very important thing, that is, he ignored everyone's will, in other words, he ignored the people's will.

Are all the ordinary ninjas really willing to be humiliated like this, to the point where they can't even get enough missions because of this incident?

Do the family ninjas really want him to ignore everyone's wishes and arbitrarily send their own people away as trading items?

Peace never relies on compromise. Didn’t the Uchiha incident teach us that? "

Having said that, Yuhara stopped, he looked at Shisui seriously and then asked word by word.

“So, whether Sarutobi Hiruzen is right or wrong depends entirely on his stance.

This is right for those who don't want war, and for himself.

But for the entire Konoha, he was extremely wrong!"
