Konoha: Namikaze Minato, Saved Kushina

"What is the Uchiha family doing?"

"Aren't they always reluctant to let others join the Konoha Guard?"

In Hokage's office, Jiraiya looked puzzled.

Konoha Sannin, except for Tsunade who left Konoha, the other two are still staying in Konoha Village.

Jiraiya went out to perform tasks for many days, and only after she came back did she realize that the Uchiha clan had undergone great changes.

Uchiha Lingye has become the new patriarch, and also announced the expansion of the Konoha Guard to recruit people from outside.

"Old man, don't you plan to put some people inside and reduce the power of the Uchiha clan?" Jiraiya asked Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile.

The Uchiha clan responsible for maintaining the law and order of Konoha has always been very arrogant. To be honest, he can't understand it, and often find trouble for nothing.

He even proposed to Sarutobi Hiruzen to limit the power of the Uchiha clan and not allow the Uchiha clan to control the Konoha Guard alone.

Isn't this an opportunity now?

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished thinking, he looked up at Jiraiya.

"You think this is a good thing?"

"Isn't this a good thing?" Jiraiya couldn't help asking.

For Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little disappointed.

Before the Uchiha clan controlled the Konoha Guard, it seemed to be very powerful, but how many people were offended.

Why didn't he deal with the Uchiha clan, instead watching the other party getting more and more rampant.

It's not about being afraid of the Uchiha clan, it's about watching the Uchiha clan being isolated by other clans.

"Jiraiya, if you're okay, go teach Minato."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Jiraiya.

It was ready to send Jiraiya away.

"I've been away from Konoha for many days, and I haven't seen Minato for a long time. I'm leaving, old man."

Walking to the door, Jiraiya turned her head.

"I went on a mission this time, I heard about Tsunade, old man, do you want to get Tsunade back?"

Jiraiya's mouth twitched at the thought of what he had heard about Tsunade recently, the ninja world has a bad reputation.

As a former teammate, he also has a crush on Tsunade, so he naturally knows Tsunade very well, knowing that Tsunade likes to gamble, and he will lose every bet.

It is not surprising at all to break out the title of the big fat sheep in the ninja world.

"Tsunade? Forget it, even if you go to find her, she may not come back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

During the Second Ninja World War, both his lover Kato Dan and his brother Nawaki died on the battlefield, and Tsunade suffered from hemophobia because of this.

Not long after the Second Ninja War ended, Tsunade left Konoha Village.

Jiraiya opened her mouth, and held back the last words she wanted to say.

After Jiraiya left, the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became serious.

"Uchiha Lingye, he expanded the Konoha Guard, is it for his ambition?"

The goal of the Uchiha clan has always been to become the Hokage of Konoha Village and control Konoha Village.

Is Uchiha Lingye also eyeing the Hokage position?

"Go and invite Uchiha Lingye to meet me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered.

He had to figure out Uchiha Lingye's purpose, but unexpectedly, Uchiha Lingye really became a threat.

How long has it been? More than half a month ago, he was still thinking about supporting Uchiha Lingye against Uchiha Shimada, causing the Uchiha clan to fall into infighting.

Only half a month later, Uchiha Shimada died, and Uchiha Lingye, who he originally wanted to support, became his confidant.

In the Uchiha clan, it is not surprising that Lingye received the invitation from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He released the news of the expansion of the Konoha Guard, and Sarutobi Hiruzen could not be stable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen absolutely does not want anyone in Konoha Village to threaten his status.

Uchiha Lingye came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.

"Master Third Hokage, what do you want me to do?" Lingye asked Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Lingye deeply.

Being stared at by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Lingye didn't feel the pressure, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Lingye, I heard that you are going to expand the Konoha Guard?"

"That's right, the Uchiha clan alone cannot maintain the law and order of Konoha Village, there are not enough manpower."

Lingye sighed.

"Why maintain the stability of Konoha Village, I can only expand the Konoha Guard."

"By the way, the support of Lord Third Hokage is needed to expand the funds of the Konoha Guard."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Lingye wanted to squeeze the wool again.

In the non-war period, Konoha Village is definitely not short of money.

"If the Konoha Guard continues to expand, will there be a surplus of personnel? I think relying on the Uchiha clan is enough to maintain the law and order of Konoha Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally does not want Uchiha Lingye to expand the power of the Konoha Guard.

"Master Hokage, not long ago, Cloud Shinobi sneaked into our Konoha Village with the intention of kidnapping Uzumaki Kushina."

"The Konoha Guard, which maintains Konoha law and order, failed to find the enemy. If I hadn't happened to meet him, he would have been kidnapped."

"From this incident, it has been shown that our Konoha Guard is short of manpower and elites."

"So, I want to recruit elite ninjas from the entire Konoha Village to join the Konoha Guard, all of which is to maintain Konoha law and order."

"As the heir to the Will of Fire, I, Uchiha Lingye, maintain Konoha law and order, and it is my duty to do so."

As soon as Lingye called, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent, and he even mentioned the kidnapping of Uzumaki Kushina.

"Then why do you recruit outsiders to join the Konoha Guard? Haven't the Uchiha clan been members of the Konoha Guard all along?"

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Master Hokage is wrong to say that. What is an outsider? In Konoha Village, we are all our own people, aren't we?"

"We, the Uchiha family, will never treat any resident of Konoha Village as an outsider."

Lingye's words silenced Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

Aren't you Uchiha clan the most xenophobic? Now I am embarrassed to say this.

This high-sounding appearance has already caught up with him.

"Hokage-sama, everything I do is for the sake of Konoha, you don't think you won't support it?" Lingye looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Don't Master Hokage want to see Konoha Village in good order?"

A hat was put on Sarutobi Hiruzen's head, a flash of anger flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and then he restrained himself.

"Support, of course I support it."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say support, Lingye smiled.

"Since Mr. Hokage supports it, how much money is he going to allocate? This is all for the sake of the security of Konoha Village. I hope Mr. Hokage will not disappoint all residents of Konoha Village."
