Chapter 344: Give Danzo some dignity

Asuma glanced at the third generation sideways, then raised his head high, said "cut", turned around and pushed the door open.

"Where are you going?!" Sandai was particularly alert.

"Hehe." Asuma puffed out a smoke ring coolly: "I'm going to play with Hong! Let's go, daddy!"

Asma put one hand in his pocket and waved one hand back, like a wanderer leaving home saying his final farewell.

"Anyway, don't go!"

The roar of the third generation can be heard even on the street.

......

The third generation quickly put the conflict with Asuma behind and devoted himself to a lot of work as usual.

Children who are not weaned will always come back for dinner at night.

However, at night, Asma did not come back.

Sandai sat alone in the living room at the door, looking at the door, dazed.

Biwako worriedly refilled the tea for Sandai and said, "Go back and rest, Hiruzen."

"Don't worry about me, Lake Biwa." Sandai shook his head slowly, still staring at the door.

"Alas..." Biwahu put down the tea and sighed slightly, already knowing the outcome of this father-son dispute.

The child has grown up...

Until late at night, an ANBU suddenly appeared in front of the third generation.

The third generation stood up with a swish.

"Sandaime-sama, tonight, while the police force was changing shifts, Asuma used a coded signal to pass through the barrier and leave the village! Now he is running towards Kyoto!"

The ANBU talked in detail, and at the end, asked: "Sandaime-sama, do you want to bring him back?"

Sandai didn't speak, just waved his hand gently.

"Yes!" Anbu understood instantly and disappeared immediately.

The third generation was left standing quietly, looking out the window in silence for a long time.

The next day, the selected Uchiha Iron Fire and Hinata Fire Gate set out, accompanied by the Sandaime Hokage who had just abdicated.

Uchiha Tiehuo, who was originally high-minded in front of Hinata Kamon, instantly withered and became as honest as a good student.

Sandai didn't bother to pay attention to this playful intrigue, and kept looking into the distance.

Since Asuma wants to go, don't let him run over and introduce himself.

Go to Kyoto and take the initiative to recommend it to the daimyo. I believe the daimyo will be happy to see it happen.

----

A month has passed since Jiaomu led his men to raid the root base.

As ANBU searches for the root base, more secrets are unearthed.

After Minato read some, he issued a hush order on the Anbu who handled it and sealed more files.

Many of the results obtained from many years of collaborative research between Genbe and Orochimaru have been accepted and digested by the village.

In addition, as the examination of the Root Ninja deepened, in addition to the Root Ninja taken away that night, all the other remaining Root Ninjas were also dug out. They either did not attend the Root Gathering, or were lurking in the Anbu, and there were still a few Several of them are on mission outside Konoha.

Among them was Shanfeng, who happened to be staying at home to rest when Kakugi led a surprise attack.

Regarding the handling of these people, Minato listened to the opinions of the three generations and placed them in a secret base for one year of basic training.

It is not training in ninja talents, but cultivating their emotions, teaching them the concept of companionship, and guiding their "will of fire".

After the training, corresponding jobs will be arranged according to personal talents.

Those root ninjas who were performing tasks outside were also recalled and put into the "training class". The tasks were either abandoned or continued by the ANBU.

The most troublesome thing is actually the more than 400 orphans who were rescued.

Most of these orphans came to the roots when they were young. They have no concept of their original families and are relatively young. The oldest is only 8 years old and the youngest is only 3 years old.

Those of the right age can be sent to a ninja school, but they must have a place to live.

These orphans are not orphans with inheritances like Naruto and Sasuke, and they are not given the treatment of separate accommodation.

Finally, under the eyes of the "finance manager" who wanted to kill Koharu, Minato waved his hand and allocated a large amount of funds to expand all the existing orphanages in the village.

An additional life teacher was assigned to each orphanage to strengthen the communication between root orphans and other normal orphans, restore their emotions, and allow them to establish a bond with Konoha.

After finishing all this, Minato still faced the last problem, which was how to characterize Danzo.

In fact, when he was in Kyoto, Minato had already told the daimyo that Danzo was "unfortunately killed in action."

This is actually Minato's attitude. Although Danzo was very selfish and ambitious and harmed many interests of Konoha, he also did a lot of dirty things for Konoha and made his due contribution.

For such a person, it is difficult to completely erase his achievements and completely "convict" him.

The reason is simple. After Danzo's death, the heavy responsibility of guarding Konoha in the darkness fell on the ANBU. If Danzo was convicted regardless of any circumstances, who would do the dirty work in the future?

Furthermore, the advisory group headed by Sandai still has some feelings for Danzo, an old friend.

In the end, after everyone discussed it, they unanimously decided to give Danzo some dignity.

Soon, the village announced to the outside world that Minato was attacked by unknown enemies on his way to Beijing. Danzo died heroically while protecting the Fourth Hokage, and his name was engraved on a commemorative monument.

Regarding this result, I can only say that everyone understands it, but they just don’t say it openly.

As for the Shimura clan, Danzo has no heirs, and this clan has always been relatively low-key. Although they were deeply influenced by Danzo's philosophy, no one deliberately targeted him.

After dealing with the matter of Nebe and Danzo, Minato began to deal with the matter of the Uchiha clan.

Although Danzo, who had always tried his best to suppress the Uchiha clan, died, this does not mean that the Hokage clan's policy towards the Uchiha clan has qualitatively changed.

Both the Third Generation and Minato are willing to have more exchanges with the Uchiha clan to eliminate barriers, but the fundamental contradiction between the Hokage clan and the Uchiha clan has always existed.

That is the policy of civilianization that followed the first and second generations of Hokage, and the Uchiha clan always wants to firmly occupy the core issue.

The two "original shareholders" who founded Konoha, the Senju clan took the initiative to integrate into the village under the orders of the first and second generations, while the Uchiha clan, while maintaining their independence, always believed that they should enjoy the rights of the "largest shareholder" and firmly Firmly occupy the core of Konoha's decision-making, and even become the Hokage.

This is the core conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha's decision-makers.

The reason why the Hokage clan has always restricted the Uchiha clan is not because of greed for power, but because they want to maintain and implement the policy of civilianization.

Once the restrictions on Uchiha are relaxed and Uchiha are allowed to enter the decision-making level, the policy of civilianization that has always been implemented will definitely be broken.
