Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

Mei Terumi paused for two seconds before speaking, "Deepening cooperation with Konoha is beneficial and harmless." Kirigakure and that man who claims to be Uchiha Madara are sworn enemies, and there is no room for compromise between them. Helping Konoha at this time is helping ourselves.

"Since you understand this principle, why are you asking me?"

"I want to send Hozuki to Konoha as Full Moon's deputy, to help Full Moon together with Yuri," Mei Terumi said, emphasizing each word.

泡沫。

The name is quite strange.

The person is also strange, but this strangely named guy is the [Six-Tails Jinchuriki], a strategic weapon of Kirigakure. Moreover, after the Fourth Mizukage released the Three-Tails according to his last words, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki became Kirigakure's only strategic weapon.

Sending Jinchūriki abroad on official business.

To be honest, this idea is really absurd.

Most Jinchuriki going abroad usually means war; otherwise, they are kept in their villages and kept under strict surveillance.

“It seems my eye for choosing a Mizukage isn’t always so bad.” Master Yuan suddenly laughed, his old face resembling a blooming chrysanthemum. “It’s a good idea! Sending the Six-Tails Jinchuriki out for some training is a great decision. It can not only train the Six-Tails Jinchuriki but also reduce the village’s hidden dangers.”

The thing called Jinchūriki...

It is indeed a strategic weapon, but it is also a ticking time bomb. At the very least, imperfect Jinchuriki have the potential to go berserk and lose control. The Six-Tails Jinchuriki's control over the Six-Tails is still very weak, far less than that of the deceased Fourth Mizukage.

"I'm worried that... what if Konoha has designs on the Six-Tails?"

Mei Terumi said hesitantly.

Sending the Six-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha seems like sending a lamb to the slaughter.

If we really do that,

It's easy to imagine that this will definitely attract criticism from those die-hards, and even our own people might waver.

“What you can hold onto is yours; what you can’t hold onto… will be taken away sooner or later.” Yuan Shi put away his rare smile and said in a calm voice, “And don’t forget what you said before: deepening cooperation with Konoha is beneficial and harmless. I think that for a long time to come, whether the village has a Jinchuriki or not is not important.”

To reiterate, as long as Konoha can maintain its footing, there's no need to worry about a large-scale war breaking out.

Master Yuan's idea cannot be said to be wrong.

after all,

He never imagined that someone like Kaguya Otsutsuki existed, nor that Black Zetsu was the mastermind behind everything that had been active for a thousand years. In his opinion, Konoha was now as stable as a rock, and as long as Uchiha Sogen didn't encounter any accidents, the ninja world should be able to enjoy a long enough period of peace for the next twenty or thirty years.

No filmmaker would start a war they couldn't win for no reason!

Of course, he didn't forget the guy who claimed to be Uchiha Madara. Mei Terumi suggested sending Homo to Konoha to help Mangetsu deal with this guy.

However, he did not believe that this guy who claimed to be Uchiha Madara could actually accomplish anything.

Such a sneaky, underhanded person who only knows how to play dirty tricks will never amount to anything. The fact that Kirigakure was manipulated was not only due to that person's powerful Sharingan, but also because the Kirigakure ninja themselves had serious problems. To be honest, even without that person, Kirigakure was probably destined to be in turmoil.

to be frank,

Being manipulated by that person into a pointless battle with Konoha left me feeling utterly exhausted and wounded. But now it seems like a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for that person, how could Kirigakure have formed an alliance with Konoha? And if it weren't for the alliance with Konoha, who knows what Kirigakure would be like now!

"I understand, thank you for your guidance."

Mei Terumi made a decision in her heart.

"This is your own decision, and it has nothing to do with me. I can only help you sort out your thoughts. Just remember one thing: you are the Water Shadow. Others can offer advice, but the final decision is yours to make, and you must bear the corresponding responsibility yourself," Master Yuan said slowly.

[Chapter 324. The Sixth Hokage and Hiruko]

Zongxian was in a very good mood!

After years of enduring hardship, his wish was finally fulfilled. Amidst the cheers of the masses, he gradually ascended to the pinnacle of power in Konoha Village, shedding his various identities such as Hokage's assistant, head of the police department, and head of the Konoha-Kirigakure Joint Investigation Department for Rogue Ninja, among others.

He no longer needs to rely on these titles to consolidate his power.

The Sixth Hokage

This single title represents the supreme power of Konoha Village.

Moreover, unlike the Fourth Hokage who was hampered by the fact that he had stepped down but still liked to boss people around, no one dared to tell Sogen a thing or two about him. He was the real Hokage, not someone's puppet.

The only title that remained was that of the head of the Uchiha clan.

Although according to the Uchiha clan's tradition,

The head of the Uchiha clan is the head of the police department.

But this so-called convention has only existed for about 30 or 40 years. After all, how many years has Konoha been established? How many years has the police department been established? And now that the Uchiha clan has produced a Hokage, what does it matter if they change some rules? It's nothing at all.

Moreover, modifying some of the Uchiha clan's rules is nothing compared to what he's about to do.

Just like his reforms of the police department.

He felt that Konoha also needed radical changes.

Of course, you can't rush things. Everything is built step by step. The most urgent task is to straighten out the relationships between everyone in the village. Although he had already extended his reach into various departments of Konoha when he was the Hokage's assistant, the two are not comparable.

Acting as Hokage and becoming Hokage yourself are two completely different situations.

Besides,

Just organizing the massive Anbu is already a time-consuming and laborious undertaking. Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's leadership, the Anbu has expanded again and again, becoming unrecognizable. Now, including logistics and other departments, the Anbu has more than two thousand members. Add to that the reserve personnel still being trained and the wounded and sick, and the number is approaching three thousand.

This is also because the fifth generation Akimichi Torifu integrated Danzo's root organization.

But in general,

The dark areas are very large.

Achieving perfect control is not something that can be accomplished simply by replacing the head of the secret service.

"Assassination tactics special forces... take it slow!" Zong Xuan shook his head, focusing his attention on the nutrient tank in front of him. He looked at the clansman lying in the nutrient tank and asked with a smile, "Daohuo, how are you feeling?"

"Fortunately."

Uchiha Inahisa's head was exposed, with only her body from the neck down submerged in a light green nutrient solution.

However, the outlines of the limbs can be faintly seen while sleeping.

correct,

His limbs were intact, neither missing nor deformed.

"...What is this? I clearly remember that I destroyed your right hand and right leg." Hiruko stared at Uchiha Inahi lying in the nutrient tank, his face full of disbelief. Limb regeneration...that's not impossible!

However, it is absolutely impossible to do with current medical technology alone.

This involves forbidden techniques.

As for why it's limb regeneration instead of transplantation... Hiruko is, after all, an expert in the field of biotechnology. And to be honest, the success rate of allogeneic transplantation is too low. This has nothing to do with the level of surgical skill, but rather with the body's rejection reaction. This is a problem that current medical techniques cannot solve. Unless a near-omnipotent transplant organ can be found, allogeneic transplantation can never be truly applied.

Uchiha Inahi coldly watched Hiruko, making no attempt to jump up and seek revenge.

He still needs to rest and recuperate after losing his hands and feet. It's one thing that he can't use his hands and feet, but more importantly, he believes that the clan leader's decision is correct. Even if Beiliuhu is pardoned, it will not shake his trust in the clan leader. Anyway, Tiehuo is fine, and his hands and feet have regenerated. He just needs to spend time slowly exercising his regenerated hands and feet.

correct,

Zongxian is not at the Hokage Building at the moment.

This is the research base that the Anbu seized from Orochimaru. It was later used by Root and is now being used by Sogen. All the experiments hidden under the Naka Shrine have been moved here. Previously, with the Hokage's assistance, they could only conduct research secretly in the clan's territory.

But now he's the Hokage.

There's no need to hide.

He can openly mobilize the entire village's resources to do what he wants.

"What's so strange about it?"

Zongxian didn't quite understand why Hiruko was making such a fuss.

Didn't we already prepare him mentally in advance? Why is he still acting so loud and boisterous?

“Researching forbidden techniques is not allowed! Especially forbidden techniques involving human experimentation, which was explicitly prohibited by the First Hokage,” Hiruko said in a deep voice. He was discovered secretly researching forbidden techniques and was forced to become a rogue ninja, driven by his obsession to embark on a path of no return.

"Haha."

Zongxian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I never would have guessed that Hiruko was actually a bit naive.

"You're right. The First Hokage ordered a ban on any forbidden research involving human experimentation in the village. But have you forgotten who developed the Oni-Garra Technique? A new emperor brings a new court! The First Hokage's order was fine at the time, but with the changing times, many things are no longer appropriate."

"Hiruko, researching forbidden techniques is not wrong, regardless of whether it involves human experimentation or not. The key is that you can't use your fellow villagers as experimental subjects. You and Orochimaru are both lazybones. There are plenty of research materials in this world. It's just a matter of making a few more trips. But you're all too lazy to do anything but target your own people. In the end, when things were exposed, you had no choice but to run away."

Zongxian glanced at Beiliuhu with disdain.

honestly,

If Orochimaru hadn't used his fellow villagers as experimental subjects, even if he were discovered researching forbidden techniques, it wouldn't have been a big deal. To put it bluntly, even if Orochimaru had dug up the First Hokage's grave, it wouldn't have been unacceptable. At the very least, given Hiruzen Sarutobi's affection for Orochimaru as his disciple, this matter wouldn't have been impossible to compromise on.

Anyway, the First Hokage is dead, so this is a world where the living have the final say.

However, Orochimaru had a terrible problem: he insisted on using his fellow villagers as experimental subjects, and his actions became increasingly reckless. The common people were completely unaware of this, only knowing that people were disappearing from the village every day. But powerful families like the Hyuga, Aburame, Nara, and Akimichi families were not blind or deaf.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot give these families an explanation, even the Sarutobi clan will likely be targeted by his anger.

"...I, you..."

Hiruko's voice trembled.

He wanted to say something, but the surging emotions in his chest were too complicated, and too many thoughts rushed into his mind, causing a serious 'traffic jam' problem, so he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Damn it, damn it!

So, I wasn't forced to hide in those desolate mountains and be a shut-in for so many years because of researching forbidden techniques? If only I had known... Thinking of this, I suddenly felt discouraged.

Knowing it was useless anyway

He was so obsessed with catching up with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru that he went to the point of madness.

They will stop at nothing to gain power.

That kind of mentality,

Problems were bound to arise.

“Look carefully, look closely. This is where you will atone for your sins in the future.” Zongxian bent down slightly and patted Biruko’s shoulder. Biruko was still in the posture of a child. “As long as you make enough contributions, when you run out of ideas, I will give you a quick death.”

Even though Hiruko's emotions were extremely complicated at this moment, he still felt helpless after hearing Zongxian's words. "What you're saying would really make most people lose all motivation to work, okay? So, no matter how hard I try, I can't escape death, right?"

"Isn't that obvious? You killed so many people, you have to give an explanation for those fallen comrades, don't you?"
