The Uchiha clan and their supporters were full of benefits, but the ninja clan who originally leaned towards the Hokage clan began to be dissatisfied.
The inside story of the fundamental destruction cannot be hidden from the ninja clan who are closely related to the Hokage family.
Especially the Nara, Yamanaka and Aburame clans.
Among the three tribes of the Inar, Deer, and Butterflies, except for the Akimichi family, which makes a lot of noise when performing its secret techniques, which is not liked by Danzo, there are many people from the Nara and Yamanaka tribes who either voluntarily or are forced to work under Danzo.
However, with the destruction of the roots and the subsequent cleansing carried out by the Hokage's son Sarutobi Shinnosuke, none of their tribe members in the roots survived.
Although he said that he would never have anything to do with the family after joining the Root, after all, they are all descendants of his own family, and people's hearts are made of flesh, so it is impossible to really take it seriously.
Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo killed all the roots in one fell swoop, and openly used their private power to summon border troops to jointly put pressure on the Hokage. However, not only were they not punished, but they gained huge benefits and power from it.
Therefore, the leaders of the ninja clan always have to complain a few words in front of the Hokage.
The Hyuga clan is the ninja clan with the greatest internal opinions.
As one of the only two powerful ninjutsu clans in Konoha and even the ninja world, the Hyuga clan has always wanted to compete with the Uchiha clan for the title of the number one ninja clan.
However, although the Hyuga clan has a long and profound tradition of taijutsu, they still fall short of the Uchiha who are close to full development.
Moreover, with Hyuga's Byakugan characteristics, even on the battlefield, he mostly performs non-combat tasks such as reconnaissance and vigilance. In terms of enemy kill record, it is really far behind compared to Uchiha.
The system of clan division has further restricted the members of the branch family, which has the largest number of people. The inheritance of Rouquan is also hidden from the branch family. In this way, generation after generation, the sun is thinning and the moon is falling, and the ordinary clan members of the branch family have little control over it. The fragmented Rou Fist inheritance further limits the possibility of geniuses appearing in the Hyuga family.
Compared with the Uchiha clan, which has chosen to open up the inheritance of ninjutsu beyond the secret level to the clan members, the Hyuga clan really does not have many capable figures who can carry the cauldron.
In the past, the Uchiha clan was suppressed and the police department had many constraints on their actions. However, the highly trusted and favored Hyuga clan still had a psychological advantage over the Uchiha clan, and they were often separated from the Uchiha children in the ninja school. Don't show any signs of it, and there are winners and losers.
But as the young members of the Uchiha clan gradually withdrew from the village ninja school and chose to join their own police preparatory school, the Hyuga clan lost the object of comparison.
Later, as Uchiha Tokumitsu defeated Kirigakure in the Battle of the Uzumaki, and led the family ninja army to defeat Iwagakure and Sunagakure majestically on the battlefield, no one in the Hyuga clan took the initiative to mention 'who is the number one? A topic of debate among the Ichino clan.
In the early days, some old-school Hyuga elders ridiculed Uchiha Tokimitsu in internal meetings for throwing the family's power lightly on the ruthless battlefield, wasting the family's power in vain; but as Uchiha's achievements were frequently reported back, and With the countless benefits gained from the war, and the Uchiha people who were able to further awaken the power of blood after being tempered on the battlefield, the Hyuga clan began to become unable to sit still.
But the historical inertia of a thousand-year-old wealthy family is almost impossible to change by individuals.
Even if the Hyuga clan leader is determined to reform, he cannot act under the suppression of the family elders.
After finally calming down the underlying turmoil, the Sandaime immediately faced the vague dissatisfaction of the Ninja clan.
Although it is vague, although it is not stated clearly, it is a real dissatisfaction.
As the cause of Danzo's death gradually became known to the Ninja clan leaders, the Ninja clan's dissatisfaction grew day by day.
In particular, the massive expansion of the police department has usurped the interests of many ninjas.
The Nara clan's deer farm was inspected three times a day by the Uchihas of the police department for breeding without a license.
Many flower shops owned by the Yamanaka clan have also been closed down due to reports of pollen allergies among villagers.
The Shimura clan went even further. After losing Danzo, a member of the clan who held a high position, even the gray industries such as casinos and stolen goods houses secretly run by the Shimura clan outside the village were completely sealed by the police department, and all those involved were arrested. He was arrested and taken to the police station and imprisoned. Not only did he extort a huge bail amount, the heavily armed Uchiha also rushed into the Shimura clan and took away an elder of the Shimura clan on trumped-up charges.
Faced with the menacing Uchiha ninjas who glared at the Sharingan with evil intentions, no one in the Shimura clan dared to resist.
Among the ninja clan related to the root, the only one who has not been hit by Uchiha's revenge is the Aburame clan.
Because according to the investigation of the police department, most of the Aburame clan members who joined the root were coerced by senior officials or were taken away by Danzo due to their outstanding talents since childhood. Their subsequent actions did not have much to do with the Aburame clan. On the contrary, the Aburame clan members Women are still one of the victims.
However, the ninja clan acquiesced or welcomed the expansion of the power of the Jonin class led by Hatake Sakumo.
The reason is simple - because the jounin class is not a dictating one for Hatake Sakumo and Tsuna.
After experiencing major events such as the death of Danzo, the destruction of the roots, and the expansion of the police department in a short period of time, the Ninja clan is in urgent need of a new support.
Except for the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clan, which are deeply tied to the Hokage family, the other ninja clan have more or less other ideas.
Although he didn't dare to fall out with the suspicious Hokage, nor did he dare to antagonize the powerful Uchiha, he still had the courage to get close to Hatake Sakumo, the leader of the Jonin class.
After all, the Jonin squad leader is the nominal leader and will coordinator of all Konoha Jonin.
And this is in line with the plan of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even though he was forced to agree to reconciliation terms to avoid the outbreak of civil war under the coercion of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo, as the leader of Konoha, he also used power and tactics to lay many minefields in the Jonin class.
First of all, the Uchiha clan was completely relaxed in terms of the power of the police department. The Uchiha clan, who had taken off their restraints, lived up to expectations and violated the interests of most of the ninja clan because of their excessive force.
Unlike the relatively closed police department, the Jonin Class is an open organization.
Theoretically, all Jonin certified by Konoha are members of the Jonin class. As the representative of the Jonin class, the Jonin class leader also has the obligation and responsibility to coordinate the interests of the Jonin.
But Jonin who comes from the ninja clan is often deeply bound to his family. It is precisely these people who the Police Department offends the most.
Therefore, after their actual interests were violated and divided, the jonins would naturally find their nominal leader, the jounin squad leader, to complain.
Hatake Sakumo is known as a good guy.
If Hatake Sakumo still refuses to comment on the wanton actions of the police department, his reputation will naturally be questioned, and he may even lose his position as the Jonin class leader in the next Jonin class election.
However, if you choose to question the police department, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction within the Uchiha clan. The stubborn Uchiha people will think that Hatake Sakumo will turn his back after taking office, which will lead to the relationship between the two parties becoming stiff and even going to the extreme. rupture.
Once there is no support from the Uchiha clan, Hatake Sakumo, as a strong man from a small ninja clan, no matter how many civilian ninjas choose to support him, the Sandaime will have countless ways to manipulate him.
And if the Uchiha clan did not have Hatake Sakumo's platform, and their low reputation and unscrupulous behavior, it would be easy to find loopholes to lead public opinion to label the Uchiha clan as the opposite of the Konoha Ninja Village. To unite the Konoha ninja clan and civilians.
"It's a pity... Orochimaru has seen too much darkness and is no longer suitable to be a candidate for Hokage..."
The Sandaime said to the two advisors after signing the order appointing Orochimaru as the deputy minister of ANBU.
The ANBU minister was a top priority, and even his beloved disciple Orochimaru was reluctant to give him such an important position.
"Konoha cannot live without roots."
Mito Kadoyan said seriously, "In that case, let Orochimaru be the one who carries the darkness for the village. Someone has to bear all this."
"Yes, Hiruzen, you are still young. Don't worry about the candidates for the next generation. You can train them slowly." Koharu also expressed support after sleeping.
"I did act a little too hastily in the past. Fortunately, you guys reminded me..." The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded matter-of-factly, saying that he could continue to contribute selflessly to Konoha for another thirty years.
Since the death of their old friend Danzo Shimura, Mito Monobu and Koharu Koharu have never relied on their status as old friends to confront the Hokage, which has also made the relationship and connection between the three people closer.
"Should we recall Qiao Feng? It wouldn't be good to continue to let him take charge of the dispatch army..."
Xiaochun asked tentatively after going to bed.
"No need..." Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head decisively and refused, "Ino Shikacho won't have any objections. Even if they have any objections, they can raise them in the jounin class."
"Furthermore, the situation in the Country of Rain has never been peaceful. Hanzo may not be able to withstand Iwagakure's fierce attack. It is just right for Tōfeng to sit there..."
"What about what the police department has done recently? There must be a charter, otherwise..."
Mito Menyan also said aloud.
Recently, his family business has also been questioned by the police department, which has had a serious impact.
"Ignore it for now, just let nature take its course and observe its success or failure..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.
Then he signed the appointment document appointing Tsunade as the Minister of Medical Affairs again.
…
In front of the combined forces of the Uchiha clan and Hatake Sakumo, even if he is the Hokage, he has to stay away.
The Uchiha clan is rich and powerful, and Hatake Sakumo has prestige and moral reputation. The energy produced by the combination of the two is far from as simple as one plus one equals two.
This is a force that can truly shake Sarutobi Hiruzen's control of Konoha.
But it doesn't matter. In the eyes of the third generation, the unrestricted power of the jounin class will make the friendship between the two alliances deteriorate and lead to confrontation. In addition, the jounin class members continue to complain and complain about the Uchiha clan. Eventually, one day Hinatagi Sakumo would choose to go too far with Uchiha Tokumitsu due to their different ideals, and even regard each other as enemies, just like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in the past.
In particular, doesn't the Jonin Class claim to supervise the actions of the Konoha tribes? Now that the Uchiha clan's police department has begun to openly retaliate, why does the Jonin class turn a blind eye?
Faced with the constant objections raised by many ninjas in the Jonin class, Hatake Sakumo also felt particularly troubled.
So I took the time to find Uchiha Tokko again.
"Sakumo-kun, when do you plan to hold a Jonin meeting?"
After listening to Hatake Sakumo's tactful expression of intention, Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment and then responded.
"I have no plans for the time being..."
Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo was slightly startled, a little confused.
When he came to the police department, he was already prepared to get angry when facing Uchiha Tokko.
Based on the tacit understanding and mutual trust between the two, the Uchiha clan expanded the scope of power of the police department, while Hatake Sakumo led the jounin class to promote changes. However, now that the Uchiha clan has completed the expansion of power according to the agreement, the jounin class is still Trapped in the chaos of the Ninja clan, the so-called changes have not moved at all.
"The ninja people are complaining to you, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also saw Hatake Sakumo's difficulty and took the initiative to speak.
"Yes..." Hatake Sakumo was a little embarrassed, with a rare hint of embarrassment on his face, "So, I came over to the police department for a walk, and this is the first time I have come to your office..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was promoted to the assistant chief of the police department, and he was already the number two person in the police department.
And although Uchiha Tokumitsu has not disclosed his Mangekyō Sharingan, there are already private rumors within the family.
Uchiha Tokumitsu also sent someone to secretly investigate the origin of the kaleidoscope rumor, but found that it came from some elders of the family, who allegedly 'smelled' the kaleidoscope from Uchiha Tokumitsu's chakra.
Regarding such specious rumors, Uchiha Tokko adopted an indifferent attitude, neither refuting the rumors nor admitting them. He just asked that such topics should not be mentioned with foreigners and ignored them.
"I see."
Uchiha Tokko nodded, "The jounin class does have the right to supervise the Konoha tribes, and I won't make it difficult for you..."
"However, since the Jonin class has any objections, I will explain it on behalf of the police department at the next Jonin meeting."
"This is not good, actually... I also know the reason why those people mentioned the police department."
Hatake Sakumo felt even more sorry.
"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Uchiha Tokumitsu seemed to have thought of something funny, "I just don't know if the ninjas will still have the face to confront me."
"...Forget it, then I won't interfere." Hatake Sakumo also thought about it and felt that since Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care much, he might as well let it go.
"But it's agreed that no matter what I say in the Jonin meeting, I will be responsible for all the consequences. But Sakumo-kun, please don't stop me anymore."
Uchiha Demitsu said seriously.
"Then what topic is Tokumitsu going to talk about?" Although Hatake Sakumo had made up his mind to let Uchiha Tokumitsu do what he wanted, this statement still aroused his curiosity.
"...the dialectical question about the strength and power of the ninja clan."
After thinking for a long time, Uchiha Tokko gave his answer.
In the past few days, the construction site has been rushing to meet the schedule and production value, and working overtime for several days has delayed the update. I would like to say sorry to all my book friends here.
But no matter how busy I am, it has finally come to an end, and double updates will resume from tomorrow. Just let me sleep in today~
