People in Konoha, Just Become Hokage

"I need to discuss with the tribe about opening up the guard force quota to the village, so I can't give an answer here."

Facing Nara Shikaku's proposal, Uchiha Fugaku subconsciously frowned, then shook his head and said in a roundabout way.

This time the heads of the ninja clan came to discuss how to divide the Hokage's power.

Uchiha Fugaku did not expect that Homura Echizen would give away the power of Hokage that he had coveted for a long time to others without caring.

After hearing Nara Shikaku's specific distribution plan, Uchiha Fugaku felt cold and thought to himself, what's the point of being the Hokage? Besides receiving the Hokage's salary, what else is there to be like the Hokage?

In Shikaku's plan, power does not fall to each family, but to each newly created position. The ninja clan only has the opportunity to compete for this position. Other ninja clans, or civilian ninjas, can also apply.

But when it came to Fugaku, Shikaku was in trouble.

In his opinion, Uchiha, who holds the position of guard, has enough power.

However, there were many things that conflicted with the ANBU directly under the Hokage. Uchiha Fugaku did not want to offend the Hokage, so he asked his clan members to temporarily avoid the spotlight and leave the matter to the ANBU.

But judging from the rules of the Second Generation, only Uchiha can possess these powers.

Nara Shikaku has a headache. In his opinion, the Uchiha already have a lot of power, but they have not made good use of it. If other powers are allocated to them, Shikaku, as the leader, will be criticized.

And it is very likely that the power in the hands of Uchiha will be as useless as that of the Guard.

Nara Shikaku, who is highly intelligent, does not want to do such a thankless task.

Unless Uchiha opens up the guard team's quota to the village.

It seems that the Uchiha's control over the Guard has been reduced, but after receiving the support of other families, the Guard's voice in the village has become more important.

It was a pity that Uchiha Fugaku was concerned about the feelings of his clan members and did not agree immediately.

After all, the Guard is the foundation of Uchiha. No matter how bad the Uchiha ninja is, he can still be a security guard.

Once the quota of guards is opened to the village, those Uchiha ninjas will not even be able to serve as security guards.

Nara Shikaku restrained the urge to frown and changed the subject in a deep voice, "Then let's discuss the last question."

"According to the ANBU managed by the third generation, it seems that a ninja with roots is missing."

Root Ninja?

Hearing these words, all the clan leaders felt cold, as if they had triggered bad memories.

Sarutobi Hiruzen does not have the powerful strength of the first Hokage, nor the political skills and resoluteness of the second Hokage. If he wants to deal with internal instability, he can only use simple, rough and very cruel methods.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen has a cowardly and indecisive character, and the person who took action became his good friend Danzo Shimura, a man who even the shadows of other ninja villages have heard about the darkness of the ninja world.

Under Danzo's leadership, the recruitment method is as crude and simple as his style of work. He directly goes to the clan leaders of each tribe to ask for people. If they don't give them, they will be accused of collaborating with the enemy.

Worrying about Sarutobi Hiruzen behind Danzo, the clan leaders had to reluctantly hand over their clansmen to the roots. From then on, they became Danzo's dogs and had no further contact with the family.

I thought I wouldn't hear anything about them, but I didn't expect that in this informal clan leader meeting, I heard Lu Jiu take the initiative to mention the roots, and he was still missing?

"Missing? Is this just Danzo's statement?" Yamanaka Hiichi sneered. The roots were out of control, and even the Hokage didn't know their specific whereabouts.

Whether they really disappeared or were sent on a mission, only Danzo knew the truth.

Nara Shikaku shook his head slowly and said with a heavy heart, "The blood of root ninja was found in our clan."

After hearing Shikaku's words, alarm bells rang loudly in the minds of the clan leaders. Knowing what kind of bastard Danzo was, their first thought was, "Isn't this an attempt to frame us?"

It may be controversial to say whether Sarutobi Hiruzen is suitable to be the third Hokage.

But there is no dispute whether Danzo Shimura can become the Darkness of the Ninja World.

Danzo, who has a dark heart, and the root who wants to do the dirty work, are simply like a bastard finding a turtle in the Qin family - a perfect match.

Even the clan leaders who had blood on their hands felt extremely disgusted when talking about Danzo.

They knew that Danzo would do anything to achieve his goals.

Although I don't know what Danzo's purpose is, he can really slander the ninja clan with a few drops of blood without changing his expression.

"I don't think so." Shikaku frowned and shook his head solemnly, "If Danzo really had other demands, he would have brought his roots to us to ask for compensation."

Shikaku knew clearly about Danzo's style of doing things.

However, this news was conveyed to him from the Anbu of the Third Hokage, which means that the ninja in the root is really missing.

Moreover, they are still in their clan territory.

"Based on the time and place where the root ninja disappeared, there is only one person who can do it." Nara Shikaku took a deep breath, hesitated for a while, and said slowly, "...the Yondaime Hokage-sama."

The clan leaders who pricked up their ears showed disbelief on their faces after hearing the answer, and asked in astonishment, "How is it possible that it's the Yondaime?"

"Why did he do this?"

No need for Shikaku to tell them, the clan leaders could also figure out that the only one who could kill the root ninja silently was Echizen Homura who came to visit at that time.

It's just that they couldn't believe that Homura Echizen, as the Hokage, actually killed the root ninja himself.

"Danzo should have been instructed by the Sandaime to send the root ninjas to warn us not to favor the Yondaime because of power." Nara Shikaku recounted the analysis he had done before, "But he probably didn't expect that the Yondaime was here.

There was a shadow clone left in the clan's territory, and the root ninja killed it the moment it stepped into the clan's territory, and also used fire escape to destroy its body and eliminate any traces of it."

Uchiha Fugaku, who closed his eyes and fell asleep, nodded slightly, agreed with Shikaku's statement, and said in a deep voice, "I once went to the battlefield with the Yondaime, and the Yondaime used the three-body technique and the advanced three-body technique to perfection, even if it was a shadow clone

, also has extremely strong combat power. If you want to deal with the root ninjas from different clans in the village at the same time, only the Yondaime-sama in the village can do it."

The clan leaders gathered together at this time were all the new generation, about the same age as Echizen Homura.

Many of them have seen Echizen Homura's battles with their own eyes, and know that Echizen Homura's shadow clone technique has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. It does not divide chakra equally, and it also has the same defense power as the main body, and has a combat power that rivals that of a Jonin.

.

If Echizen Homura left behind a shadow clone when leaving their clan, then the hidden clone hiding in the dark would be able to quickly kill the root ninja.

The clan leaders present were silent, not knowing what they were thinking.

The death of the root ninja told them that the fourth generation Hokage's style of doing things was completely different from that of the weak third generation.

Whether it is good or bad, no one can tell.
