"The Will of Fire?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. This Uchiha brat actually reads this stuff? Is he serious?
Suddenly, he wondered if he had become too suspicious because of Danzo's influence recently.
A child who has such a deep understanding of the Will of Fire must have been deeply influenced by him from a young age.
Moreover, judging from his previous words and actions, although he was sometimes a bit "crazy", he was still a "good kid".
Even after he recently awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he has never done anything to "harm" Konoha.
Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?
Or perhaps she herself was also influenced by Danzo's stereotypes about the Uchiha clan.
For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he needed to observe more closely and not misunderstand a passionate young man who loved his village.
Furthermore, he also plans to hand over the Hokage position to Minato. Given Minato's view of the Uchiha clan, he is sure to greatly ease the relationship between the Uchiha and the village.
Danzo's suggestion was ultimately just a minor one!
Perhaps it's because I'm getting older, and I've been having a lot of upsetting things lately, that I tend to magnify small things.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is no longer the energetic person he once was, and he has to accept the fact that he is gradually getting old.
He could clearly feel his energy waning.
Chapter 62, Under the Self, All Beings Are Equal
"I wonder what business the Hokage has with me?"
Uchiha Enoki was unaware that his sudden idea of bringing Hiruzen Sarutobi breakfast and praising the Will of Fire had given the Third Hokage a lot to think about.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because Uchiha Sō said it on purpose.
With Orochimaru relaxing his efforts to secure the Fourth Hokage's position, his political "foundation" was insufficient.
In the current Konoha, unless Tsunade steps in to compete for the position of Fourth Hokage, it is a foregone conclusion that Minato Namikaze will become the Fourth Hokage.
But will Tsunade intervene?
Impossible. Given her relationship with Kushina Uzumaki, how could she possibly compete with Kushina Uzumaki for her man?
After all, Uchiha Sō had only just confirmed his relationship with Tsunade!
Therefore, now is not the time for Uchiha Zou to overthrow Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"That's right, because of your performance on the battlefield, we've made some decisions."
Hiruzen Sarutobi composed himself and spoke with a gentle expression.
"From this day forward, you will be the Minister of the Konoha Security Department."
"Congratulations, Xiang! You are now the youngest division commander in Konoha!"
"Is that so? Are there no other assessments required?"
Uchiha Eiji feigned some confusion and asked.
In fact, after watching yesterday's battlefield, Fugaku Uchiha had offered to give him the position of Konoha Police Department Chief.
However, Uchiha Sō had already effectively taken control of the Konoha Police Department and didn't care whether or not he had the title of Minister.
Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage used this as a reward for his meritorious service.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary villagers, this was definitely an enlightened move by the Third Hokage, and it was worthy of Uchiha Zō's battle achievements.
However, those who know the inside story understand that the Third Hokage essentially used the empty title of a security chief to "erase" the battle achievements that Uchiha Eiji had earned with his life.
In fact, because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's appointment, would the former head of the security forces, Fugaku Uchiha, and the head of the Uchiha clan really have no thoughts at all?
This was a double whammy: it solved the problem of rewarding the Uchiha Elephant for his meritorious service, while also stirring up internal conflicts within the Uchiha clan.
Unfortunately, no matter how cunning and treacherous you are, you still have to drink Brother Elephant's foot bath water!
He had already changed some of Fugaku and Shisui's ideas during the last brainstorming session.
He doesn't expect these two people to completely listen to him, but at least they won't cause him any trouble.
"Yes, you are qualified."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, stood up, and looked at Uchiha Sō in front of him.
"Thank you for everything you've done for Konoha. You are a hero of Konoha."
"Lord Hokage, I cannot accept this responsibility."
Uchiha Xiang suppressed a wave of nausea and spoke humbly.
"Because I am also a Konoha ninja. Without Konoha and without the guidance of the Will of Fire, there would be no Uchiha Sō."
Uchiha Enoki was very skilled at speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.
"Alright, the appointment has been made, so I won't disturb you any longer as you contribute to Konoha. Do your best; the future of Konoha rests on the shoulders of you young people."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered, and soon he revealed an even gentler smile.
"Hey! I'm off to work now, Hokage-sama."
Seeing this, Uchiha Sho quickly slipped away, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he really wouldn't be able to keep up the act.
However, as Uchiha Xiang left the Hokage's office, he glanced at the towering Hokage Rock behind the building, and a cold smile crept onto his face once again.
Do they really think he's that easily fooled "idiot" like Uchiha Shisui...?
Meanwhile, Danzo jumped out immediately after seeing Uchiha Ebo leave.
"Hiruzen, you don't actually believe this brat, do you?"
"The evil Uchiha clan is not to be trusted. That's a lesson our teacher taught us, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Are you teaching me to do things?
Hiruzen Sarutobi wore an unhappy expression.
Danzo!
Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu did not interrupt.
They were momentarily fooled by Uchiha Elephant's performance, but they didn't think the Uchiha were trustworthy.
"What? Are you still hesitating?"
"Enough! I am the Hokage! Konoha cannot withstand turmoil right now; it needs stability! I am not discussing this order with you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted sternly, his tone extremely resolute.
Danzo's expression was uncertain, and after a while, he left with a resentful look on his face.
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
After he left.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. If it were before, he might have agreed to Danzo's plan, but now...
The Orochimaru affair was giving him a splitting headache, especially the results of some secret investigations, which left him no time to worry about anything else.
Moreover, many of these items clearly bear traces of Danzo's roots...
Danzo, what exactly did you do with Orochimaru behind my back?
How many things are you hiding from me?
The problems of the Uchiha clan, the negotiations after the Third Shinobi World War, and Orochimaru's affairs all weighed heavily on the old man's shoulders, making him feel truly old.
He felt that he really should find a young and ambitious person... to be in front of the camera.
……
After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Sho did not go to the Security Department, but instead strolled around the streets of Konoha.
During this period, he was busy with the reform of the security department and rarely strolled around the streets of Konoha.
Today, he suddenly noticed that there were many more wounded ninjas on the street.
Although they were wounded, they were in good spirits, and many acquaintances who had retired from the front lines of the Hidden Mist greeted him.
After waving his hand in response, Uchiha Sho overheard some of the ninjas' conversation.
They talked mostly about how brave they were on the battlefield, or how unlucky they were.
He was injured before he could kill many enemies, which made Uchiha Sho shake his head.
While most of them were excited about surviving the ordeal, they also seemed to want to go back to the battlefield.
Even Uchiha Sō couldn't help but marvel at the "madness" of the ninjas in the ninja world.
Of course, this also owes much to the efforts of our Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in brainwashing us over the years.
It must be said that Konoha's ability to unite its ordinary ninjas is terrifyingly strong.
History has proven that these ordinary ninjas, under orders from the Konoha leadership, are perfectly capable of sacrificing themselves for a baseless reason.
It is because of them that Konoha is what it is today, but ironically, they have gained nothing in return.
The fruits of victory had long been divided up cleanly by the Konoha leadership and various clans, large and small.
That's why Uchiha Enoshima shouted, "If Heaven had not given birth to Enoshima, the ninja world would have been plunged into eternal darkness!"
He genuinely wanted to change the current state of the ninja world and give millions of ordinary people a fair chance.
Under my authority, all beings are equal!
Chapter 63, Burn, Our Youth!
Looking at the jubilant crowd, Uchiha Xiang stood alone to one side, his eyes deep and unfathomable, seemingly out of place with the surrounding clamor, appearing particularly abrupt.
Unexpectedly, two swift green figures appeared upside down, like two green lightning bolts, suddenly appearing before Uchiha Sō.
The speed was so fast that it far exceeded even the running speed of an ordinary person, which was truly amazing.
Uchiha Sho was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
He already knew in his heart that Matt Shane must be training the young Matt Kai.
