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

Chapter 82 We are just cannon fodder!

"You think so too? Even until now, you still haven't given up."

Hinata Yu looked at Genji Jonin, who hesitated for a moment, looked at the information, nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile:

"You can do whatever you want with us, and please forgive the ninjas behind us. We just agreed to this plan from Danzo, but we didn't start it right away, so they don't know."

Hinata Yu let out a chuckle, "When Danzo was carrying out this plan, the first people he thought of were you, the weak ninjas. After Danzo lost power, you were the first ones who couldn't help but see me."

Genji Jonin frowned deeply, taking Hinata Hane's chuckle as a mockery, but couldn't even think of a word to refute.

No strength, no confidence...that's it.

Even because Danzo had the upper hand over them, they were naturally more anxious than other ninja clans.

They are not comparable to those large ninja clans with large scale and strong capabilities. The other party is confident that Konoha needs them, but they are not.

On the other side, Kurama Unkai, who was in mixed feelings, was more careful than Genji and seemed to have heard some hint from Hinata Yu's words.

The first thing Danzo thought of was these weak ninjas...

In fact, as far as he knew, the ninja clans that agreed to this plan were all very weak, or just like their clan, which was once powerful but had long since weakened for various reasons.

Kurama Yunhai's expression suddenly darkened, and he stood up and bowed deeply to Hinata Yu, "Thank you for your guidance and for not killing me. From now on, the Kurama clan will follow your lead."

As he spoke, he signaled to Genji Jonin with his eyes. Although the latter was a little confused, his years of experience as a comrade made him believe that the other party would not betray him, so he hurriedly stood up and said something similar.

Hinata Yu didn't respond, and said calmly:
"Go back."

"Yes!"

Kurama Unkai responded respectfully and left with the confused Genji Jonin.

When he and Kurama Unkai returned to his house, Gengji couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Those three words encompassed many of his doubts.

Why didn't Hinata Yu punish them?

Why did Kurama Yunhai want to thank him and completely put all his wealth on Hinata Yu?

"Think carefully, which ninja clans participated in this plan?" asked Kurama Yunhai with a gloomy face.

"I don't know much. You Kurama, Tottori, and our Urakawa..."

As Genji spoke, his brows began to frown.

"Have you discovered? They are all small ninja clans. The ninja clans are not very powerful and have little presence in the current ninja world."

Kurama Yunhai said in a deep voice:

"We thought that this plan had considerable support, so we chose to join. But Danzo never mentioned the specific list of ninja clans participating in the plan. Is it because of the confidentiality agreement, or because there are too few participants?"

Genji said unconfidently: "At least the Root should help. This is Danzo's plan to dominate the Land of Fire. How could he..."

Kurama Yunhai interrupted coldly and asked a strange question, "In your eyes, who has a higher status, the Daimyo or the Hokage?"

"Big……"

Looking at Kurama Unkai's indifferent eyes, Genji closed his eyes, "Hokage." As a member of the ninja village, he might respect the daimyo who has always provided financial support, but if he really had to choose between the two, it would naturally be Hokage.

Because they were taught since childhood that the leader of Konoha is the Hokage and they must obey the Hokage's orders.

A famous name?

Does Konoha have an organization dedicated to promoting the greatness of the Daimyo?
Who dares to say in Konoha every day that the Daimyo is the master of the Land of Fire and has a higher status than the Hokage?
There are definitely some near the daimyo's mansion, but not here in Konoha. From education to life, the power and status of the Hokage are the highest.

Not to mention that Minato's previous behavior once again reinforced this impression. I'm afraid the ninja standing behind the Fourth Hokage at that time firmly believed that the Hokage was above the Daimyo.

"There are only two of us here, so just be straightforward and don't fool yourself."

Kurama Unkai used his gaze to force Gengji to give the answer, and his tone softened, "Since the Hokage's status is so high, how should the status of those below him be calculated?"

Genji completely understood what he wanted to say, "The great ninja clan, the high-ranking officials of Konoha are the great nobles of the Land of Fire."

This can actually be seen from the fact that the Third Hokage succeeded to the throne of Hokage. At that time, because the Second Hokage died, although there was an appointment made by the Second Hokage before his death, the Daimyo still asked for the opinions of all parties...that is, the Ninja clan.

However, due to the residual influence of the second generation, and the fact that Hiruzen had a powerful ninja clan behind him, he was able to successfully take over the position of Hokage.

And if a similar situation occurs again now, and even the Fourth Hokage fails to appoint the next Hokage, the Daimyo will have to ask Hinata Yu, Tsunade, Uchiha Fugaku, and the senior ninja squad leader Nara Shikaku for their opinions when appointing the Hokage.

In the Land of Fire, aren't it the great nobles who need the daimyo to treat with caution?
"It seems that the Hokage needs to be appointed by the Daimyo, but in essence it is a nomination from within Konoha. The Hokage is equal to the Daimyo, and the status of the people behind him is equal to that of the Fire Nation's high-level officials."

Kurama Yunhai's eyes were complicated, "One country, one village system... the country and the village are equal."

"Be careful with your words!" Genji said solemnly, "This is not something we can discuss."

"Why not? Recently, Asuma Sarutobi of the Sarutobi clan and the Third Hokage had a big fight."

Kurama Yunhai said coldly: "This descendant of the Third Generation was not in the Fourth Generation's team at the time, and did not experience that scene in person. He still believes that the Jade of the Land of Fire can only be a daimyo, and even wants to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas."

Although this matter is not known to everyone, most ninja clans have heard of it. This is one of the reasons why the third generation ran to Danzo to be a guard.

I was so angry that I didn't want to stay in the tribe anymore...

Genji was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "We are of a different status than him."

Glancing at him, Kurama Yunhai asked, "Then let's not talk about it. Do you understand our situation?"

"Yes." Genji nodded, his eyes complicated, "Only people like us will agree to Danzo's plan. Those powerful ninja leaders...are the vested interests."

Those people are already among the top few in the Fire Nation, but because of their identity as ninjas, they don't have many opportunities to demonstrate their status in the Fire Nation.

As the vested interests, will the other party safeguard their own interests and protect the one country, one village system, or choose to destroy the system and redistribute the interests?
This can be seen from the competition between Danzo and the Fourth Generation.

Most ninja clans would only consolidate their own interests rather than step into the unknown. The Uchiha behind the Fourth Hokage could not squeeze into the core, so they chose to give it a try. If the other party was originally a high-ranking member of the village, they might not have such courage.

They are similar to the Uchiha, but their strength is not as good as that of the Uchiha. However, they have the ability and courage to bet on the Fourth Generation, win a lot of money, and stand at the forefront of the times.

However, as a weak ninja clan, they did not even have the courage and confidence to fight, so they could only go with the flow and eventually accepted such a plan from Danzo.

Since I had Danzo's support, I thought it was okay...but I was totally wrong!
"We are the cannon fodder used by Danzo to test the resistance to abolishing the one country, one village system!"

Genji gritted his teeth.
