Helping each other with countless me

"Old man, you don't seem to be surprised at all."

Li Zhongren sat on the table and casually opened Sarutobi Hiruzen's small drawer. Inside were fine tobacco leaves, but he was not interested because in his past life, he was not very cold about cigarettes. He preferred to drink. .

"Or did you foresee Uchiha Fugaku's behavior?"

"Unforeseen."

Leaning on the bench at home, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his cigarette leisurely. When he saw Li Zhongren trying to touch his tobacco leaves, he stretched out the cigarette pot and knocked his hand, and then pushed the drawer without leaving a trace. On the top, you can only vaguely see that there seems to be a brightly colored magazine under the tobacco leaves.

"No one in this world can foresee the thoughts of the Uchiha clan."

"Eh? That's true."

Li Zhongren blinked his eyes and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"The Uchiha clan"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed leisurely.

"If they were like other families, I wouldn't have such a headache. But, they really just think about it. Who can predict that a bunch of banners can make the big family members What about some people rebelling against the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan? I’m afraid Uchiha Setsuna himself doesn’t believe it.”

"However, therein lies the problem."

"Today, they can rebel because of the banner, but tomorrow, who can predict whether they will rebel against Konoha because of other things? The most important thing is that the Uchiha clan themselves don't think that is the so-called rebellion. They only recognize the principles they recognize."

"Actually, if the Uchiha clan is treated as a group of children, things may be much simpler. You can coax them just like coaxing children. Children care more about spiritual recognition than material things."

"hehe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Li Zhongren.

"You have never raised a child, right? I have. Or, my youngest son Asma, how many days can you raise it for me?"

"Haha, the weather is nice today."

"You can scare children if you can't coax them, but the Uchiha clan is like children with sharp weapons. You may not be able to beat them."

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly.

"And you are also the representative of the naughty kid. It's because of your misbehavior that you messed up my plan."

"What's wrong with me?"

"What do you think? My original plan was to consume the wealth of these families through the war with the rain ninja. Then Uchiha Setsuna would definitely take action to contact other families. I know him too well. He was as early as the second generation. Daime caused trouble when he was in power. He was arrested and imprisoned for many years. The year when the war with Yu Ren began, I released him. This is the moment I have been waiting for. "

"However, I will destroy Setsuna Uchiha with the power of thunder before they take real action. Those families who are ready to move will have something to fall into my hands again. I will not open it. After so many years of decay, they In life, you will inevitably choose to compromise.”

"At that time, I can use this as an excuse to smooth out the rights of these families bit by bit, take away their interests, and cultivate civilian ninjas. After the civilian ninjas grow up and create a real balance with the family ninjas, Family issues are irrelevant."

"Who would have thought that your calculations are so far-reaching, but you probably don't have the same knowledge as a child like me."

Li Zhongren looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a smile, but deep down in his heart, the missing parts between World War II and World War III in the original work suddenly became clear at this moment.

For example, how did Sarutobi Shinnosuke disappear? Most likely something happened during the attack on Setsuna Uchiha. After all, the Mangekyou Sharingan was very powerful at first sight.

For another example, why do you not let him participate in politics even though you have a second son? Even let him go far away to protect the daimyo? Instead, choose to support Namikaze Minato? It is because this process of weakening the family is also a process of offending the entire old force. How could he let his son go? The old man still has selfish motives.

And why he chose to completely eliminate the Uchiha clan. After the death of Namikaze Minato, the balance of power between the civilians and the family in the village was broken. But I am afraid that there is also an element of revenge for his son.

"hehe.."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked at Li Zhongren, and for a long time, he took a long puff of smoke.

"The little bird swims in Sanye and listens to orders!"

"Please give me your orders, Hokage-sama."

Li Zhongren immediately jumped off the table and stood up straight.

"As the Third Hokage of Konoha, I give you two tasks."

"First, inform Uchiha Fugaku that as long as he leads the Uchiha clan to participate in the battle against Uchiha Setsuna, the past will be forgotten."

"Second, this is the Crimson Flame Army Token. With it, you can mobilize a Crimson Flame Army that fully displays the Four Red Sun Formation. You need to monitor Uchiha Fugaku at all times. Once he changes his mind and joins forces with Uchiha Setsuna, I allow you to use the Four Red Sun Formation to control them, and then use Wood Release: Cyberpunk."

"yes!"

"Father, I made some ginseng tea for you."

After confronting Li Zhongren who was leaving and nodding, Sarutobi Shinnosuke came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's room carrying a dinner plate.

"It tastes good, but I still prefer wolfberry tea to ginseng tea."

".,Father, my son has a question."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke rolled his eyes at his somewhat inconsistent Hokage father before he asked.

"explain."

"Why does Kotori Mitsuha..."

"Why is he willing to obey me? Or, is he willing to be a knife in my hand and offend these ninja families in Konoha?"

"Yes, he is obviously the young patriarch of the Senju clan. Even if it is only a title now, but with the revival of the Senju clan in the future, what he did is tantamount to digging the roots of the future of the Senju clan with his own hands. Moreover, he is so smart that I don't believe he can't figure this out. As for his belief in the will of fire, I don't see any of it..."

"Do you remember what Uchiha Setsuna said at the Nanga Shrine that day?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen blew the ginseng tea.

"He said that there would be no intact eggs in a destroyed nest. He said this from the perspective of the family, but what if it is from the perspective of the entire Fire Nation? The biggest difference between the Fire Nation and other countries is that we are a place of war."

"Other countries and other villages may be able to rely on the rule of the ninja clan to survive, but we must have a strong Hokage or a strong system to survive on this continent. You and I are very strong, but compared with the first and second generations, we are far behind and have too many shackles. Therefore, the Hokage's centralized power policy is the best I can think of. , and the only way to fight against the entire ninja world."

"I see. You mean, he also sees through this?"

"He should understand. He knows that only a strong country of fire and a strong Konoha can guarantee the long-term survival of the Senju clan. After all, you know that I have never thought of breaking the tradition of ninja families. Unfortunately, this kid's character is like a toad. He can't move without being poked. Just now I asked him if he wanted a chance to be a Hokage, and he directly refused. "

"You didn't ask."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked confused. He had been waiting outside with ginseng tea.

"So, now you understand why I let you be the head of the legion instead of the assistant to the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Just now I said, 'It is because of your reckless behavior that my deployment was disrupted. What I meant was that I could give him a chance to eliminate Uchiha Setsuna to improve his reputation. After all, this is a major rebellion involving the entire village. What did he say? You shouldn't argue with a child like me, right? He declined."

"Ah, this."

"So, you are not cut out for this. Your brother is even more useless. The only thing I can leave for you is this Red Flame Army."

"Father, didn't you say that when the balance is achieved in the future, the Red Flame Army will be disbanded and incorporated into the Konoha Ninja Force?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke poured another cup of ginseng tea for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and asked casually.

"I thought so before."

So in front of his own son, Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely showed his sentimental side.

"But, my teacher is a lesson for us. What is left of the Senju clan now?"

"Then it's you. You are not good at politics. Your ninja talent is worse than mine. Why do you think I shamelessly embezzled the village's money to build this Red Flame Army? Balance and centralization are one aspect. From the bottom of my heart, I also have selfish motives. I just want to leave something for you."

"After all, one day, I will retire, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for the Sarutobi clan. After all, I have offended so many ninja clans. If you don't have the strength in your hands, they will definitely take advantage of you."

"Concentrate the will of fire and protect the Hokage. These ten words have been in my mind since I was ten years old. I became a disciple of my teacher at the age of seven, and I have been studying until today. The result is that I think my teacher's ideas are too extreme. The ninja family has also made contributions. There is no need to do what he envisioned, to completely eliminate all ninja families."

"Okay, you also go back and prepare. Uchiha Lake has sent a message before that Uchiha Setsuna has secretly contacted most of the ninja families. They will choose to launch a rebellion on New Year's Eve."

"Yes, father."
