He was surprised that what the young man in front of him said was exactly the same as what he had thought at the beginning.

Sakumo is not fit to be a Kage.

Being a knife, becoming a knife wielder, he is lacking in both skill and mentality.

However, no one, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, realized that the sword was so strong that he would choose to end his life under public opinion.

Kevin continued in a deep voice: "There are many ways to prevent a knife that does not want to be wielded by a person from breaking because of hesitation and choosing to stand aside."

"It's just that you hesitated... and after you hesitated, you allowed the Root to run rampant until Konoha itself killed a major fighting force in the village."

"Also, the Root has been conducting human experiments on Wood Release. Is it true that the Third-Hai knows this?"

As he spoke, Kevin looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

With fierce pupils, Sarutobi Hiruzen even took two steps back.

Kevin: "In fact, you know it, but you know the importance of Wood Release even more. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts. The tailed beasts of each village are dragged into the battlefield, so someone must be able to fight them."

"Wood Release is the best method. This has already been proven during the time of the first Hokage."

"The reason you hesitated is that you also longed for this power to be mastered by Konoha again, and even to restore the reputation of the God of Ninja."

"It's great that the Root can help you make the decision. If you leave Danzo as the scapegoat, all the darkness and dirt will be gathered on him and won't fall off."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became more and more ugly.

It seemed as if the fig leaf that he had been wearing was suddenly pulled away.

"I have never issued any orders to continue the Wood Release experiment! I don't even know the situation of the roots."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was very firm.

But Kevin shook his head slightly: "As the shadow of a village, if you don't know or understand these issues, do you think you are qualified?"

The answer is unique.

It doesn't matter whether you give an order or not, because the root will execute the unissued orders on its own.

There will always be someone to take the blame for everything you think of. Even this pot is very durable. The bottom of the pot has become thicker and thicker over the past ten years, but with your persistence, the pot has always been put down gently without any damage.

"call……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a breath, took out his pipe, tapped it, covered it with tobacco and lit it.

"I don't sense any chakra in you, but my sixth sense makes me feel extremely dangerous. Are you extraordinary? Or do all teachers in the Rain Country have this kind of power?"

Kevin replied: "The person that Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Country, calls sir is me. However, the teachers of the Rain Country are basically those who have awakened their Haki at present."

Domineering...

This special power is the root of chaos.

And the most important thing is... the young man in front of him is not an ordinary teacher, but the founder of the school, whose influence now even affects many countries and ninja villages.

"Tell me your identity. You don't seem to be worried about your safety. This is Konoha, and I am the former Hokage."

Kevin looked at the training ground in the distance.

At this time, Naruto also hit the target with three kunai, but he did not show the same skills as Uchiha Sasuke.

"In fact, your sixth sense is not wrong."

Kevin said solemnly, "When I first arrived in Konoha more than four years ago, my initial thought was indeed to go directly to the Hokage Building and sweep away all of Konoha's top brass by force."

"It's easier to paint on a blank sheet of paper than on an already messy surface. I can kill you, but there's also Danzo, Mitomon En, and Utatane Koharu. It won't be difficult for me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out a smoke ring: "How audacious..."

The rest of the words were not uttered because Kevin interrupted: "I am not being bold, but stating a fact. If it weren't for Minato Namikaze's words that made me change my strategy, Danzo of the Root would not have survived until this day."

For a moment, the two fell silent.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice had become a little hoarse.

"Danzo...how will he be dealt with this time?"

Kevin smiled and said, "I am not a member of Konoha, let alone a high-ranking official in Konoha. You should ask the Fourth Hokage for his opinion on how to deal with Danzo."

"You should actually be able to tell that neither the history classes at the Ninja School nor the schools currently scattered throughout the world have interfered with the upper management of their respective schools."

"I am teaching them the truths of this world. As for how they choose to deal with it and what they want to do, it has nothing to do with us."

"The awakening and liberation of thought is the cornerstone of everything. After the liberation of thought, productivity will also increase. What path to choose is the students' own choice."

At this moment, a figure suddenly fell from beside Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sir, the trial will be held in three days."

Three days later...public trial!

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, sparks flickering on his pipe.

Just from the name, you can know what the so-called public trial is like.

In that case, Danzo would be despised by later generations, and even his body would not be able to enter the memorial.

After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "His starting point is not wrong. Perhaps it is because of different ideas that this is the case."

"Since the establishment of the Root, he has done a lot. A public trial will ruin his reputation..."

Chapter 387: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Changes, Changes of the New Generation

"Ever since the Root was formed and Danzo became the Dark Lord of Konoha, he hasn't had a good reputation."

Kevin's tone was teasing.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was also speechless after hearing these words.

There was little smoke on the pipe.

Kevin's voice continued, "During the Kumogakure coup, the Second Hokage led you to evacuate Kumogakure, but you were hunted down by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The Second Hokage said that someone must cover the retreat so that the others could return alive."

"In this situation, knowing that you would die if you were the last one to leave, Danzo was afraid, but you offered to leave without hesitation."

"At the same time, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, left his will and ordered you to succeed the Third Hokage. This made Danzo always believe that he was a few seconds late at that time and missed the position of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.

He stopped smoking because at this moment he felt as if he had been stripped naked and seen clearly.

Danzo was unwilling to accept this, so he had always been dissatisfied with himself, and even thought about becoming the new Hokage through a coup more than once.

However, as friends of several decades, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well where Danzo's stupidity lay.

Strength is an indispensable part of becoming a shadow, but strength alone is far from enough.

The establishment of the Root, and the fact that the Root trained ninjas into tools and used cursed seals to control ninjas' behavior, meant that no ninja clan would be willing to send their members into the Root.

One Shanzhongfeng offends the entire Shanzhong clan.

The taking of roots by an Aburame also made the Aburame clan resentful.

For such a person, a coup would only become a joke. Even if the coup succeeded in a short period of time and he became Hokage, the only force he could truly command was the Root.

"At your age... it's really scary to have such thoughts."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his cigarette, exhaled and continued, "An elderly man who has worked hard for the village all his life, can't even keep his reputation in the end. Such a result will horrify all the top leaders."

Kevin: "It's just a guess based on people's character. I didn't say anything. It's up to you to understand your true thoughts."

"The death of a rabbit makes the fox sad, but of all the high-ranking people you mentioned, the only ones left now should be you, Danzo, Mitomon En, and Utane Koharu, right?"

"You...are not worthy of all these quantifiers."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing paused.

At this moment, he had already forgotten about Danzo's later years, and all he was thinking about was his own future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not stupid.

After seeing the changes in the students of the Ninja School, and after being reminded that the nobles also feared death, and that if a person was killed, they would die... he no longer considered the influence of the nobles on the village.

In the past, ninjas were always a minority in this world, and numbers were a hindrance to their becoming the ruling class.

Although they possess chakra and can perform ninjutsu, illusion and other powers, they still need food to survive. Even refining chakra requires body energy, which to a certain extent consumes more than ordinary people.

Ninjas do not engage in production, and the supplies they need to survive are also produced by ordinary people.

Therefore, the ninja village would be subject to economic constraints by the daimyo government.

But after the emergence of the power of domineering, ordinary people in particular can possess this power, and it integrates defense, attack, perception, etc., which is enough for ordinary people to arm themselves.

You know... Ninjas are a minority, and nobles are also a minority.

The real majority of people in this world are those who have always relied on farming for a living and were called untouchables by the nobles.

With the liberation of thought, ordinary people who were originally scattered and powerless are brought together, and the power of each individual can be comparable to that of a ninja!

In this way, unless there is a major change in the fate of the nobles, the outcome is foreseeable.

As a Kage for so many years, Sarutobi Hiruzen's political wisdom enabled him to understand the reason why the Daimyo's attitude took a sharp turn for the worse immediately after he took the ideological class in the Ninja School.

They are afraid!

Just as Hizashi's son said, as long as a person is killed, he will die, and the fear that death brings to life is equal.

The untouchables used to be as lowly as dust.

But the nobles have always been high and mighty, enjoying the supply from the whole world to themselves and others.

Between a clay jar and porcelain, which one is more afraid of being broken?

The Hyuga clan became one of the nobles of the Land of Fire during the Warring States Period. The fundamental reason was also that the nobles wanted their collective to obtain a part of the powerful ninja clan.

Just like Tsunade's identity as a princess...those guys who have always been proud of the origin of their surnames actually understand better what they lack.

At this time, Kevin's voice sounded.

"Since it was a toilet in the first place, when it has accumulated too much dirt, it is time to abandon it."

After he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

bathroom……

Did I really treat Danzo as a toilet?

When did it start?

No, he had always taken the initiative to gain power and was proud to be the Dark of Konoha.

Even if it really is a toilet, that is the identity he gave himself.

And I... just acquiesced in his actions.

Now this toilet is about to explode. If you can't dodge in time, you will be covered in dirt that you can't wash off.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his cigarette, then knocked the burnt ash onto the ground.

"What have you brought to this world, a disaster? Or a dawn? A new power system that will allow ordinary people to have the power of ninja strength. I can see that this world is about to start changing dramatically."

Kevin looked at the new generation in the distance and replied with a smile: "Since I appeared in this world, changes have already begun. If it weren't for the sudden awakening, perhaps the world would be in the midst of war now."

“The liberation of thought is the prerequisite for revolution. If thought is not liberated, and force is used to make the whole world submit, the final result may be counterproductive.”

“Thoughts should precede force, not force precedes thoughts. Otherwise, if others follow suit, the world will truly become a hell.”

The class bell rang.

Sarutobi Hiruzen went to the senior history classroom like a student.

There is a difference between a gentleman and a teacher.

There is only one gentleman, but there are many teachers.

In order to make it difficult to fool the students, Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to understand the level of other teachers in each grade.

If he could really radiate the entire ninja world with one point as the center, then his attitude would definitely change.

The fundamental reason why the Sarutobi clan was able to survive into the Warring States Period, and even became the third generation Hokage for many years after the Senju clan dissipated on their own, was that they knew how to take sides.

He reduced his presence when the ninja village was first established, and after Uchiha Madara left the village, he stood on the side of the Senju, and he even formed a witness bond with Ino-Shika-Chou.

……

Kevin glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was leaving, then turned his attention back to the class that was doing outdoor training.
