"Hmph! If we trace it back to the source, it was the Third Hokage's naive ideas that drove the village to that point."
Danzo spoke with a gloomy face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes and remained silent.
As the "victor," you should be more magnanimous and soothe the emotions of the "loser."
"What we need right now is a Hokage who can lead the village to change and who upholds the ninja code."
"Hmm? Is that so?"
The daimyo of the Land of Fire gently fanned himself with his fan, looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and seeing that they remained silent, continued to inquire.
"Are there any suitable candidates?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others also turned their gazes to Danzo, seemingly wanting to see what he was planning to do.
"The person I recommended..."
Danzo remained expressionless and spoke with utmost seriousness.
"He is Uchiha Sō, one of the Twin Stars of Konoha among the new generation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials of Daming Prefecture immediately began to discuss it in hushed tones.
This Heavenly Master's reputation was earned through his battles in the Third Shinobi World War.
His rival, Yagura Karatachi, has become the current Fourth Mizukage.
His achievements and his abilities are both top-notch.
But it is an excellent choice!
But his background... Uchiha...
Chapter 115, Hiruzen "Disciplines" Danzo
"Third Hokage, do you all think so too?"
The daimyo of the Land of Fire was naturally aware of just how "complex" the relationship was between the Hokage lineage and the Uchiha clan.
Moreover, the reputation of the Uchiha clan made him quite uneasy.
But all he could do was legitimize the new Hokage; he really had no right to interfere with anything else.
Therefore, he could only look to the Third Hokage, but he also felt a sense of unease.
"Little Elephant, in times of war, is indeed a genius with exceptional talent."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly opened his eyes, and then he spoke calmly and deliberately.
Upon hearing these words, Danzo smiled slightly.
The smile on the face of the Fire Country Daimyo became somewhat stiff.
However, none of them expected that the Third Hokage's next words would take an extreme turn.
"However, compared to another candidate, Minato Namikaze, he is still a little lacking."
"Given a better option, I cannot place the heavy responsibility of Hokage on his shoulders..."
"Hiruzen..."
Danzo couldn't hold back any longer at this moment, and even angrily shouted the name of the Third Hokage.
Isn't Hiruzen Sarutobi teasing him?
The Twin Stars of Konoha were the most suitable candidates to become the Fourth Hokage, given Orochimaru's defection.
But Xiao Xiang, who was born into the Uchiha clan, was ultimately lacking.
"I recommend Minato Namikaze."
Mitokado Homura ignored Danzo and spoke up.
"He is a grand-disciple of the third generation, and a disciple of Jiraiya."
Koharu, the girl in the tucked room, chimed in and offered an explanation to Daimyo.
"That's the elite ninja known as the Yellow Flash."
At this moment, Danzo was completely dumbfounded.
He found himself seemingly excluded from the "clique".
When did Hiruzen and the other two make this decision without even telling me?
This was something he simply couldn't accept.
Especially when he saw the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he seemed quite interested.
He was instantly enraged.
"Minato is still too young!"
Danzo didn't care about anything else now; he stood up and shouted.
His actions startled even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
He remembered that these four people were classmates or friends, but they seemed... somewhat on the verge of conflict. Hadn't they discussed this matter beforehand?
"But he won the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, turning the tide of the war in Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also stood up and looked at Danzo seriously.
"Moreover, he was a major contributor to ending the Third Shinobi World War."
"I object!"
Danzo roared and stared directly into Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes as he spoke.
"To be honest, regarding the Battle of Nara, that Yu..."
"I am the Hokage, Danzo!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
For a moment, Danzo froze on the spot, especially when he saw the Third Hokage's unquestionable gaze, he knew...
His dream shattered once again...
"You'll regret this, Hiruzen..."
……
"Brother Xiang, are you serious?"
At the elephant's house, Uchiha Igaku and Uchiha Shisui asked, somewhat bewildered.
The reform of the Konoha Security Forces continues, and it is currently mainly under the responsibility of these two individuals.
Shisui plays the good cop, and Igaku plays the bad cop, dealing with the various ninja clans of Konoha.
So they have a lot on their plate right now.
In particular, one lazy guy even handed over the management of the Uchiha clan to them.
Once they have power, they must act accordingly; this is the rule the little elephants set for them.
"Either open the book or get out; that's the current rule within the clan."
They were the two most famous geniuses of the Uchiha clan this generation, apart from Xiao Xiang, and now they were the most influential people in the clan, so naturally they had to take the lead.
As for the baby elephant, no one would dare ask him for it.
They were a little tired, but they were also incredibly happy to be truly involved in, decide on, and change the development and construction of their family and village.
They all saw hope!
Of course, they also began to learn the methods the baby elephant had taught them—to cultivate and promote more talent to help them do more things.
Human energy is limited; no one can handle doing everything personally.
They only need to grasp the general direction; the rest of the specific tasks can be left to other people.
This way, not only will it make things easier for myself, but it will also allow me to cultivate more talent and get more people involved in the reform of the family and the security department.
Of course, cultivating talent is not something that can be done overnight. Even if they have seen what the Land of Grass looks like, it will still take time for Konoha to change.
Just as the two of them were busy at work, Little Elephant had them all called over.
At first, they thought something important had happened.
When they arrived, they realized that the matter was indeed very important.
However, Brother Xiang's idea is somewhat unreliable...
"I'm serious. Before Konoha was even established, wasn't that what the Uchiha clan did all along?"
Uchiha Eiji explained with a smile.
"I know the situation is different now than in the Warring States period. The biggest weapon sellers in the ninja world now are the major ninja villages."
Other individual investors also typically target smugglers.
However, some people need a lot of weapons, so they are neither suited to go to ninja villages nor dare to go to smugglers.
Because the ninja villages investigate large-scale arms deals, smugglers will sell anything as long as you pay them.
Uchiha Sho's words made both Igaku and Shisui nod in agreement. If they were already involved in smuggling, what did they care about their morals?
It's all about money.
With money, they could hire stronger ninjas to protect them; with money, they had the means to establish themselves in the ninja world.
However, it's not easy to find someone who doesn't dare to approach ninja villages or smugglers, but still needs weapons and supplies.
"Brother Xiang, do you have a target in mind?"
After thinking for a while, Shisui finally asked.
However, his gaze swept over Kazuko, who was still looking at the scroll beside the little elephant.
For a moment, he couldn't help but complain to himself:
Brother Xiang is great in every way, except when it comes to women...
