Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 50: Making Wedding Dresses
After chatting with the Sandai for a while, Hinata Yu glanced at the shadow of the command room and stood up to say goodbye.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

After Hinata Yu left for a long time, a feminine voice sounded in the corner.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru who walked out of the shadows and said with a complicated smile: "I didn't expect you would still pay attention to this kind of thing."

"After all, it's related to me." Orochimaru licked his lips, "You want me to take over the Root, right?"

"I haven't considered this before because you and Danzo got too close. It's also my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the Root in the first place."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a complicated expression, but a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "But when Konoha needed you, you took the initiative to step down and gave the position of Hokage to Minato. I am very happy."

"After this incident, let alone Koharu and the others, Danzo will definitely have to step down as the Hokage's assistant, and the Root cannot be handed over to him any longer."

"Originally, my favorite person to assist the Hokage was Shikaku. Every generation of the Nara clan has good brains. Except for those who were pulled into the Root by Danzo, none of them took the initiative to participate this time."

"But it's customary for them to serve as the jonin squad leader. Plus with Minato's suggestion, it's not a bad choice to choose Hinata Yu. It's just that..."

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone became low.

"The Root is not good enough. The position of assisting the Hokage and leading a unit alone, Danzo has already given a negative answer."

Isn't that caused by your indulgence?

Thinking secretly, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then is it appropriate to leave it to me?"

"You spent some time in the Root, so you are more suitable than him. And although the title of Hokage's assistant is great, it can only be accomplished if the Hokage has real power and is willing to delegate power. In other words, that position requires someone the Hokage trusts."

"Hinata Yu is a member of the Shadow Guard, so it's only natural for him to be in that position."

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered, "Konoha should have a new wind, Minato, Hyuugaha...you three ninjas, it's time for us old guys to retire."

The impact of that letter was greater than I imagined.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "When I sent you the letter that mentioned Xinfeng, who did you think of?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen froze.

Who do you think of?

He recalled the contents of the letter in his mind.

The letter recommending Minato for the title of Hokage would naturally describe his strengths.

Gentle and friendly, with strong individual combat capabilities, he is deeply trusted by civilian ninjas...

Who did you think of?
Konoha once had a ninja who was very similar to Minato. He was as good at attacking and killing as Minato, as gentle as Minato, and as trusted by civilian ninjas as Minato.

As Minato stood with Kakashi, he felt suffocated by the familiar feeling.

That's Konoha...White Fang!
Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously didn't want to think about it, but looking into Orochimaru's eyes, he knew he couldn't hide it.

"I didn't mean to kill Sakumo, and Danzo only wanted to damage his reputation. We never thought he would die!"

"He has a five-year-old child and Kakashi to take care of. Why did he choose such a drastic method?"

The Third Hokage, who had been calm just now, smoked dryly with a blurry look in his eyes, "We don't want him to die."

Seeing this, Orochimaru had a hint of pity in his eyes.

Guilt is a knife.

The death of White Fang was also an important cause of the start of World War III.

As the war continued, the teacher must have thought more than once what would happen if White Fang hadn't died?

And when Minato, a ninja who looked very similar to White Fang, appeared in his sight, some things became natural.

"I've been wondering lately, what would happen if the position of Hokage was given to Sakumo?"

"He has no experience like Minato, and just has reputation, but not much support from the ninja clan."

"But if I can make up my mind and help him carve out a path, will the current situation be better?"

The third generation looked towards the door of the command room, as if looking at someone.

"He doesn't know government affairs, I can teach him. He doesn't have anyone to support him, I can give him some. Sakumo is such a gentle person, he will definitely get along well with Minato, and then he will be able to gain more support."

"If he doesn't take the position of Hokage, who can say that he is really unsuitable?"

The Third Hokage seemed to see Hatake Sakumo wearing the Hokage hat, with Minato, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Tsunade, and Hinata Yu standing behind him. He felt that the scene was a bit dazzling and couldn't help but close his eyes. "If he were alive, Kakashi wouldn't be confused between his companions and missions, and he would grow faster. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before the second Konoha White Fang is born."

"If he were alive, many people in Konoha would not have died. He is the White Fang of Konoha who made the Sand Village sleepless!"

"I've made a mistake once, I really can't make it a second time!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes and said this again, his cloudy eyes looking directly at Orochimaru.

"When Sakumo died, Danzo, the two advisors, and I were all at fault. But those ninja clans were also responsible. They fanned the flames and were happy to see it happen."

"For civilian ninjas like Sakumo and Minato, the Ninja Clan is their biggest rival. Last time I didn't make up my mind, this time... I'll do it myself!"

"Do you think I'm right this time? I should be right, right?"

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's somewhat confused eyes and remained silent.

Maybe, compared to the previous Hokage, you did a good job this time.

But at the same time, you are also used as a knife by Yu Jun, cutting off all the troubles he needs to face to get to the top!
The game is designed in the Hidden Mist battlefield, so you can find Tsunade to crack the caged bird in order to prevent Danzo from abusing it.

He was promoted to Jonin, and entered the sight of the Fourth Hokage as a member of the branch family, and became one of the Shadow Guards.

It exacerbates the conflicts in Konoha and exposes the conflict between the Ninja Clan and the Hokage, forcing you to think about solutions.

Those ninja clans were very afraid of Minato, because it was the bloodline ninja clan, the Hyuga and Uchiha clan, who supported Minato to the position!
Relying on blood inheritance, they are more difficult to replace and more powerful than the ordinary mystic ninja clans. Once Minato rises, the interests of the ninja clans that did not bet on him in advance will be damaged, and it will be difficult to overwhelm the Hyuga and Uchiha in the future.

There is an irreconcilable relationship between the old ninja circle that you led to rise in the past and the new ninja circle that is now led by Minato to stand at the core of Konoha.

This forces you, as you watch Minato and Kakashi being tortured by Sakumo's figure day by day, to make up your mind to eliminate the influence of the old ninja clan in order to prevent civil strife in Konoha.

And he - Hinata Yu took advantage of the incident caused by Danzo to gain the possibility of releasing the bird from the cage.

At this point, the Hyuga branch family member who should have been unable to become a high-ranking member of Konoha was only short of the reputation to sit in the position of assistant to the Hokage.

And the opportunity to improve his reputation has been given to him by Kirigakure.

Danzo is your sword, being used by you to ignite the dissatisfaction of the ninja clan. You are Hinata Yu's sword, helping him eliminate things that are not conducive to his advancement.

Orochimaru sighed secretly.

He thought of a phrase: working in vain.

Just like you said, to be the Hokage's assistant, the Hokage needs to have power and also needs the Hokage's enough trust.

After you paved the way for Minato and used your backhand to gradually cut off the influence of the original core circle of ninjas, what kind of rights can Yu, who is deeply trusted by Minato, get?
Even without the Root, if Yu wants to form his own army, will Minato stop him?

With Yu's ability...it's hard to say who will control Konoha in the future.

Yu-kun, you said you wanted to stay in Konoha temporarily to watch the peace that Minato hoped for... You really chose a special position.

But, you probably want more than just that, right?

……

Hinata Yu walked out of the command room and watched the sky gradually brighten.

Under the one-country-one-village system, the daimyo had no right to manage Konoha's politics. As a military organization of the Land of Fire, Konoha was more like a mercenary in nature and could even accept missions from other countries without reporting to the daimyo.

The main source of income for the ninja village is missions from the Fire Nation, not trade.

The daimyo holds the economic lifeline of the ninja village, but does not have the strength to fight against the ninja village.

A twisted, weird symbiotic relationship.

The supreme leader did not control the military power, but instead controlled the ninja village through soft means such as economics.

It lacks all the qualities that a good political system should have.

Even less efficient.

Chakra, a resource that is useful in many ways, is only in the hands of ninjas, samurai, monks and others, and is mostly used in fighting, killing enemies and improving martial arts.

How many people are there in Konoha? How many people are there in the Fire Temple? And what about the Land of Fire?
When everyone masters chakra, the Fire Nation's war potential and foundation will grow rapidly.

But the daimyo did not popularize it, nor did he dare to popularize it... because he did not have the ability to master this power, and naturally the Hokage did not have it either.

Old things are not necessarily right, this is true for the Jinchūriki and the ninja clan.

So does the one country one village system!
