The Rise of the Uchiha

In the Sarutobi clan's territory, at Sarutobi Hiruzen's home, two old men looked at each other, one with a sad face, the other with a calm expression.

The whole house was filled with smoke, and Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked one cigarette after another.

"Zhengyi, what do you think we should do?"

"Hiruzen, take over the Hokage again, or control the Hokage, otherwise the family will have no way to survive."Sarutobi Masakazu said seriously

"Zhengyi, you are too brave"

"Hiruzen, there's nothing we can do about this. Didn't you hear what I said about the voices within the clan?"

"If you had designated someone from our clan, this situation would not have happened. Konoha would still belong to our clan."

"Is that your voice or the voice of the clan?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Sarutobi Shoichi with a serious face.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, don't forget your last name," Sarutobi Masakazu said in a low voice

"I am the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, and the next is Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Sarutobi Clan."Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was not loud, but it was very serious and firm.

"You will regret this, Sarutobi Hiruzen" Sarutobi Masaichi slammed the door and walked out

"well……"Looking at the departing elder, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Decades of pampering have made some people arrogant and secretly develop their families.

This should not only be the wish of some people in the family, but probably the thoughts of most people, and I just realized it now. Although I also controlled Namikaze Minato before, I didn't trust the power of the younger generation and was not confident in handing over Konoha to him. Everything was for the peace of Konoha.

After being pulled down by Uchiha En, looking at the gradually prosperous Konoha, I began to let go slowly in my heart. There should be no problem handing it over to Minato.

He is not greedy for power. He just wants to manage Konoha under the second generation and be proud to tell the teacher after he leaves.

But things don't go as planned. I am afraid I don't have the face to see the teacher. The disappearance of the Senju, the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, the death of the White Fang, the large number of children on the battlefield in the Third War, the rise of the Uchiha, and now it is the problem of the four major families.

I am really a failure as a Hokage.

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are too powerful and need to be suppressed. It is best to weaken the power of the two clans, otherwise the Hokage will be their puppet.

But I didn't expect that the Senju clan would disappear in the end.

The Uzumaki clan has a very good relationship with the Senju clan. The Uzumaki clan controls a country. Konoha does not need a strong neighbor, but needs the Uzumaki clan to rely on Konoha. Unexpectedly, the country was destroyed.

White Fang is not suitable to be Hokage and needs to be suppressed. Unexpectedly, he committed suicide in the end.

The large number of children going to the battlefield during the Third War was his own incompetence.

The rise of Uchiha, now there is no Senju to suppress them. I am afraid that the next Hokage or the next one may be from the Uchiha clan. At that time, Konoha Village will become Uchiha Village. Uchiha is too unstable, Konoha may perish, and the teacher will be furious.

Now it is the family of himself and his old friend. Just like the situation of the Senju and Uchiha at that time, the family power is too strong. If Minato can suppress them, Konoha will be safe. If Minato can't suppress them, then they will usurp the position of Hokage or control Minato.

""Minato, if it were you, what would you do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself, would you make the same choice as I did at the beginning or something else?

——

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the door and said to a black-clad ninja

"Go and call Danzo and the other three over."

The black-clad ninja received the order and quickly disappeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the room with a cigarette in his mouth, waiting quietly.

"Hiruzen, what do you want from me?" Danzo's voice came from outside the door.

After Danzo came in, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a sad face.

"Is there something wrong with Uchiha? Hiruzen,"Danzo is still the same, and he can't stop talking about Uchiha every three sentences.

"Danzo, this is no longer an Uchiha problem, wait for Koharu and the others."

Danzo saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to talk now, so he didn't say anything and waited by the side.

After a while, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En arrived.

The three looked at each other. They didn't know what happened.

The four of them sat in the house.

"There is a problem with the Sarutobi clan." Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke first

"Minato took over and arranged for a large number of talented civilian ninjas and family ninjas to replace Sarutobi, Tateishi, Mito, and Shimura."

"There are already voices of dissatisfaction within the Sarutobi clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, breaking the silence of the meeting room.

"Hiruzen, do you mean that someone from the Sarutobi clan wants to rebel?" Danzo asked in confusion.

He didn't expect the Sarutobi clan to be so big.

"Not yet, but they are not satisfied with Minato's arrangement. The Sarutobi clan has grown too fast, and now a large number of them have been dismissed. The clan can no longer hold on."

"What is the current situation of your clan?"

"Alas, our clan has also begun to be dissatisfied, and now it has been suppressed."Utatane Koharu replied. I didn't expect the Sarutobi clan to be like this too.

"The same thing happened to the Mito clan, but they were quickly suppressed. However, our two clans are still in good condition and can still hold on."

"Where is Danzo?"

"I don't know, I have never asked about the clan's affairs."Danzo replied. For Danzo, the clan is just a place that provides nutrition for his roots. The roots are the power in his hands. Only when his roots are strong can he ascend to the position of Hokage.

"Hiruzen, how come you can't hold on?"

"Alas, Xiaochun, our clan has grown to more than 20,000 people, and more than 3,600 ninjas."

"What? How could it be so fast?"Danzo was greatly surprised. Their clan already had more than 3,600 ninjas. When would he be able to ascend to the position of Hokage, he thought that his own Root organization only had more than 300 ninjas.

"I was negligent and didn't pay attention to some situations within the tribe. I left all the welfare and jobs, big and small, to them."

"Hiruzen, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid that the four tribes will escape our control and form a secret alliance."

"Then get rid of them." Danzo gave a solution

"Danzo, they are the villagers of Konoha and also our people"

"Hiruzen, your clan has become a threat to Konoha."Danzo wants to weaken the Sarutobi clan so that his path to the position of Hokage will be smoother.

If the Sarutobi clan continues to develop like this, then Sarutobi Hiruzen will still be the Hokage.

As for Namikaze Minato and Uchiha, they will find a way to deal with it.

"Danzo, I won't allow you to do this. They haven't done anything yet. As long as the funding problem is solved, the problem can be easily solved."

"Hiruzen, you are too naive. That's how the Senju and Uchiha of Konoha solved the problem. Why can't it be done now? Just because they are your clansmen?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent. Yes, that's how he solved the problem in the past. Why can't it be done now? Is it because they are his clansmen?

Sarutobi Hiruzen regretted it a little. Only when you are in the same position can you empathize.

Clan members, Konoha. A dilemma.
