In Konoha, my ninja cat is invincible!

"This time, it happens to be an opportunity."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "The ANBU people discovered four undercover agents lurking in our Kirigakure Village in Konoha."

"Having been lurking for many years, I must have collected a lot of important information."

"I plan to let Shisui go on this mission."

"However, in the process, I hope to seriously injure Itachi Uchiha."

"And it's because of Shisui."

"There can be no flaws."

"Shikaku, what do you think should be done?"

Nara Shikaku was silent for a while.

"Lord Hokage, just let Itachi Uchiha get involved in this incident, and then increase the difficulty of Uchiha Shisui's mission so that Uchiha Shisui has to face a dilemma."

"Otherwise, we can only kill the mission target and give up on Uchiha Itachi."

"Otherwise, we can only save Uchiha Itachi and give up the mission goal."

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"At the same time, we can also test whether the weight of other Uchihas in Shisui's heart is worthy of the trust I give him."

However, Nara Shikaku's suggestion reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen of some not so good memories.

This kind of choice was made by another person back then.

Konoha White Fang.

Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi's father.

In the S-level mission, we also faced the same choice.

On one side is the mission objective.

On one side are village partners.

At that time, Hatake Sakumo chose the latter, so the mission failed.

This caused Konoha to be reprimanded by its employers. For a while, the village lost a large number of missions, and many employers had distrust of Konoha's ninjas.

The situation is terrible.

Not only are there many negative comments, but more importantly, many people's substantial interests have been affected.

People outside scolded the village.

The people in the village scolded Hatake Sakumo.

Even the ninjas that Hatake Sakumo saved were like this.

So Hatake Sakumo suffered a breakdown and chose to commit suicide at home.

A senior who is respected by all the Konoha Sannin.

An elite Jonin who received half of the Hokage's sleeves.

A talented ninja who made Hatake's swordsmanship shine on the battlefield.

So he committed suicide in his own home out of frustration.

The scene of lying in a pool of blood brought a great psychological shadow to Kakashi, who was young at the time.

Some people say that Konoha White Fang's death was a conspiracy because Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried that it would threaten his position as Hokage, so he deliberately designed all this.

Others said it was just a coincidence.

No matter what choices Sakumo Hatake made at that time, he would always have bad results.

Really bad luck.

But as for what the real situation is, perhaps only the parties involved at the time know.

The former statement made Sarutobi Hiruzen very dissatisfied.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people dare to mention it.

Now, not many people in the village still remember Hatake Sakumo.

"Make a detailed plan for me, Shikaku."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After Nara Shikaku left, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the direction Nara Shikaku left, his eyes flickering.

"Shikaku doesn't seem to want me to reuse Uchiha?"

"But this is normal."

"After all, if there is one more ninja family that has my trust, Inokacho's status in my heart will drop by one point."

"But, you pig deer butterflies are too pig deer butterflies."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was actually a little dissatisfied with this.

In the past, Inokacho was tightly attached to the Sarutobi clan.

But as time goes by, Zhuludie's strength gradually increases.

Now Zhuludie has some intention to stand alone.

In Inakacho's situation, it was impossible to obtain the position of Hokage. However, Inokacho no longer had to rely on the Sarutobi clan, but had the right to choose.

Even if the next Hokage is not from the Sarutobi clan, Ino Shikacho can still gain a good status.

To put it simply, Ino Shikacho is no longer a retainer of the Sarutobi clan, but a retainer of Konoha.

This can be seen from Inorakacho's investment in Danzo.

And after Namikaze Minato came to power, Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly felt it.

Inarakacho's position was obviously more in favor of Namikaze Minato rather than the Sarutobi clan.

"If Uchiha can be controlled, then he can form a constraint with you Inoka Butterfly."

"In this way, the status of our Sarutobi clan will be more stable."

"Originally, I had such expectations for the Hyuga clan, but unfortunately, they couldn't help me."

"He and Uchiha belong to the same pupil family, but their mentality is completely different."

"Too weak."

"Weak, I like it."

"But if it's so weak that I can't use it, then it becomes useless."

Nara Shikaku returned home.

Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Choza were already waiting in the study.

"Shikaku, how are you?"

Nara Shikaku sat down across from the two of them.

The two stared at Nara Shikaku.

After a long time.

"Hokage-sama is very determined about controlling Uchiha, and he seems to be very confident. He asked me to come over this time to make a plan to split Uchiha."

"But at the same time, it's also a test for us."

Yamanaka Haiichi frowned.

"Hokage-sama plans to trust Uchiha and reuse Uchiha?"

"What about our pig deer butterflies?"

"We are also testing Shikakuzu. Could it be that Hokage-sama intends to be ungrateful and erase the contribution of our Inakacho to his Sarutobi clan? Without us, Inokacho, the Sarutobi clan would not be what it is today..."

Nara Shikaku interrupted Yamanaka Haiichi's complaint.

"Haiyi, don't say this again in the future."

"Between families, it's all about interests. There's nothing to be sorry for."

"It's understandable that Hokage-sama wants to control Uchiha."

"The key to the problem is what we ourselves are going to do."

Yamanaka Haiichi stopped talking.

Akimichi Choza looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

"Shikaku, what are you going to do?"

Nara Shikaku said calmly: "We don't need to be anxious, there are people who will be more anxious than us. The Hokage has taken control of Uchiha, and we Ino Shikacho will only have less benefits."

"But we never craved something more."

"If we give in to a little benefit, it won't have much impact."

"However, there is one person whose hope is even slimmer."

Akimichi Dingzao's pupils shrank slightly.

"You mean, Danzo?"

"Yes, with Lord Hokage in control of Uchiha, the position of the Sarutobi clan in Konoha will be more stable. It is not impossible to send Asuma to the position of Hokage."

"Danzo would probably be very unhappy with this situation."
