Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The old man was buried in the grave.

I remember that afterwards, I asked my master, "Why couldn't you support Yugakure against Sunagakure?"

My master gave me a detailed analysis of the matter.

At that time, the Five Kage Association had only been initially stabilized, and the five major hidden villages were mostly in disunity. Although they all had their own interests, there was a situation where Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Mistgakure joined forces to fight against Konoha and Sunagakure.

It happened that Sunagakure was jumping up and down, eager to get rid of Konoha's influence, and Yugakure was not satisfied with being inferior to the five major hidden villages, and secretly provoked Sunagakure.

The other three ninja villages are also eyeing Konoha. As long as one of them is not right, Konoha will inevitably be besieged. Whether it will be besieged by three families or four families depends on the interests. It is hard to say whether it will be besieged by an unprecedented five families (Ragakure).

Although it is not in the interests of Konoha to suppress Rain Village by using the Five Kage Association, it is a matter of the Five Kage Association as a whole. As the initiator of the Five Kage Association, Konoha must not explicitly oppose it.

At that time, Konoha needed to express the attitude that it had no attitude and it didn't matter.

At worst, it was okay to not express an opinion or to reserve an opinion.

In the end, Danzo didn't know what he did. He refused, but it seemed to be saying: We are not in harmony in Konoha. If you do something, I don't object.

This greatly intensified the conflict between Sand Village and Rain Village.

The key point is here. Although Konoha's younger brother Sand Village is a little unruly and has a bad reputation, it is still an ally after all.

Rain Village is not convinced by Sand Village now and wants to test the weight of Sand Village.

Rain Village is just a barefoot, while Sand Village is now on the shore. The two are of different classes. Sand Village is not sure whether Rain Village is strong or not. They don't want to start a war easily. It's not too much for Sand Village to bring a few people to strengthen their momentum, right?

Originally, Sand Village wanted to bring in the Five Kage Association to use the status of a member of the Five Kage Association as a banner to scare Rain Village.

They thought that you, Rain Village, are just a mud leg. You said you can fight if you want? Is that enough?

Rain Village didn't want to do anything, but just wanted to test the attitude of Sand Village.

As a result, Danzo made a blind statement at the Five Kage Association, and privately guaranteed to Rain Village to support them in fighting with Sand Village.

Rain Village received strong support and also saw the discord between Sand Village and Konoha.

At this time, Hanzo, the leader of Rain Village, had an idea. He decided to use this opportunity to teach Sand Village a lesson, and at the same time show the strength of Rain Village to the other four major hidden villages.

This led to the long-term confrontation between Sand Village and Rain Village.

Originally, Konoha was sitting on the Diaoyutai, and it didn't matter who was the younger brother of Sand Village and Rain Village. They would choose whichever one they performed well. There was no need to give opinions or attitudes.

Ambiguity helps Konoha's image in the Five Kage Association, making it difficult for people to see the truth.

Konoha's previous image was a quiet and peaceful village, known as the first hidden village in the ninja world.

In the entire ninja world, Konoha is known for its image of a peace lover and never actively attacks any force.

They always advocate resolving disputes through harmony and cooperation, and are one of the initiators of the Five Kage Association.

Due to the close cooperation with the Five Kage Association, Konoha was able to obtain huge wealth, and the five major hidden villages participating in the Five Kage Association also made money with Konoha.

With such an image of the ninja world, many low-level forces in the ninja world will unconsciously move closer to Konoha, and Konoha's influence will spread to all aspects of the ninja world through them.

The ninja world is a world of martial arts. In addition to the major ninja forces, there are many unknown ninja organizations and a large number of wandering ninjas. Various conflicts will occur at all times.

Just like the chivalrous knights in the martial arts world, when there is a dispute, they often have to find a trustworthy and reputable martial arts hero to mediate and witness.

And Konoha is such a good brother, a righteous martial arts hero, and is definitely the first choice of notary.

This will invisibly enhance Konoha's influence, thereby achieving the purpose of indirectly controlling the ninja world.

Danzo's move directly destroyed the image of Konoha's ninja world managed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and put Konoha in a passive situation.

Although the younger brother of Sunagakure has always wanted to turn over and become the boss, Konoha's support for Yugakure to fight Sunagakure is really surprising.

Konoha was isolated because of its strength that surpassed other hidden villages. Now you, Konoha, can't stand your allies and your younger brothers being good, and you are secretly tripping them up. Does this make people feel that Konoha is just like this?

Only when you are not strong enough will you resort to underhanded tactics. Konoha is like this.

Does the performance also imply that they are unwilling to suppress Sand Village head-on? Has Konoha's strength begun to decline?

Konoha's attitude towards Sand Village, a family member, will inevitably make other hidden villages worried. If Konoha treats even its own allies like this, then who else in the other villages will be willing to be allies with Konoha?

As long as someone is in the middle, a ninja war will soon break out. This tense situation is worrying and makes people question Konoha's behavior.

At this time, Konoha needs to re-examine its actions to avoid the ninja world from falling into chaos and bloody war.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, did not speak out to defend anything.

He directly picked Orochimaru out and retired Danzo due to illness.

This move is very smart, telling others directly that this is Danzo's personal behavior. Believe it or not.

Let time verify everything.

It is this sense of arrogance that makes Kumogakure and Iwagakure dare not act rashly.

But it is difficult to mend a broken mirror, and it is necessary to run your legs off to spread rumors.

The Uzushio Village incident was also a test for Konoha, but fortunately Konoha accepted it.

Why did Konoha send Orochimaru to lead the team to intervene in the mediation between Sand Village and Amegakure?

It was not to shape Konoha's authority and remove the influence caused by Danzo.

Fortunately, Orochimaru showed his excellent strategic and negotiation skills in the mediation between Sand Village and Amegakure.

The success of this mediation not only won Konoha a reputation, but also established a closer connection between Konoha and other hidden villages.

Through this action, Konoha showed their determination and strength to other hidden villages, making them understand that Konoha is no longer the representative of Danzo personally, but a united whole.

It made Orochimaru understand that the situation in the ninja world is a matter of one move, and the impact is continuous.

Every decision made by me may bring new changes and new problems to the ninja world.

I need to make plans for the possible direction of the situation in the ninja world after each decision.

But can I really do it well? Without a master to back him up, could he really control the situation in the ninja world and protect the village?

Orochimaru began to doubt his own abilities.
