Chapter 412: Sunset Red and the 1st Clan
The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry is actually very simple.
The Sarutobi clan is a famous family in Konoha, and the family of Kurenai Yuhi...
Where are the famous people? Where is the power of the family?
It can even be said that Yuhi Kurenai's family are civilian ninjas.
Don't get me wrong, in Konoha Village, civilian ninja is not a derogatory term.
Ever since Hashirama Senju disbanded the Senju clan with his divine hand (of course we all know that he certainly didn't think of this intentionally), many civilian ninjas in Konoha Village are actually members of the Senju clan.
What is the best way to protect your people?
As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. So why not just hide hundreds of trees in a forest? Wouldn't that be very simple?
Basically no one can conclude whether Hashirama Senju did it on purpose.
The only one who could draw the conclusion is Youya, and there is no way anyone would be so idle as to bother Youya with this question.
Therefore, the earliest group of civilian ninjas who supported Youya were actually those who had disbanded from the Senju clan.
Of course, these people have complained before. For example, when You Ya first came to power, he gave them dividends every year in order to stabilize other families.
At that time, these "commoner ninjas" were very dissatisfied.
But then again, Yuya and Tsunade will get married after that, so even if these people want to target Yuya, they can't choose this time.
If you rush to ask for benefits when someone is getting married, then that's cheap.
You know, theoretically speaking, these "civilian ninjas" are Tsunade's family members. If any one of them causes trouble, it will be a disgrace to the entire family members.
So, in the early stages, the crisis was overcome.
After that, it developed rapidly.
These civilians in Konoha also got their benefits, which is the rising housing prices every year.
Except for a very few people who were stupid enough to sell their houses, now as long as you supported Youya in the beginning, well, even the "commoner ninjas" who did not support Youya in the beginning, basically everyone has two houses.
This is the benefit gained from repeated demolitions.
Of course, there were people who did not want a house but wanted money, but now these people basically regret it every day.
why?
Damn it, the money I earn is not as fast as the appreciation of the house.
I worked hard and earned several million a year, but after deducting the living expenses, I realized that I only saved about one million taels at most. However, the housing price increased by more than one million a year, at least three million at a time.
The richest place now is the central street, the first street from east to west, south to north, where basically one square meter costs one million taels.
And it may rise further in the future.
However, Youya holds the land of First Street firmly in his hands and it is impossible for him to sell it. This will also be the small treasury of the future Hokage.
All I can say is that the foundation he laid for the next generation of Hokage is so heartbreaking that it makes anyone cry.
He would accept it if he could lose everything.
The only question now is who will be the next Hokage.
Of course, all families are aware of this problem.
Well, now that I have finished the “background”, I believe you all understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry.
You Ya wants to give up his position. This idea sounds incredible. After all, everyone has seen what You Ya has done in the past 30 years.
It can be said that Yuya promoted the development of Konoha with his own efforts.
No one dares to deny this.
Why does You Ya want to abdicate?
Being in your fifties is not considered old. With current medical technology, it is no problem to live to your seventies or eighties.
Youya certainly knew this, but...
is it necessary?
Is it right for people to still work at a high intensity when they are in their fifties or sixties?
You Ya already has power, and has had it for more than 30 years, and is really tired of it.
If someone knows about this, they might think You Ya is being pretentious. No matter how many people beg for this position, they still can’t.
But the fact is that Youya really doesn't want this position anymore.
It's just a pity...
The next generation of candidates... I don’t know who to choose.
So, in this context, what do others think?
The first reaction, of course, is to carefully verify it.
You Ya has done such a good job over the years, there is no reason for him to want to abdicate.
Could it be that he wants to abdicate and let others see who is better or worse between him and the next generation of Hokage?
Is there any need to compare? Who can do better than you?
Moreover, once he sits in that position, the power is real!
After confirming that You Ya did have the idea of abdicating, the group of people instantly became excited.
You Ya doesn’t want to continue sitting in this position, they do!
So, the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry was simple.
And it is clear why Uchiha Fugaku suddenly became anxious and was willing to sell out his own son's looks and lifelong happiness.
After Youya steps down, what if someone comes to power and continues to target the Uchiha?
Isn't that a complete game of football?
It would be better to leave the clan. At least the Uchiha ninjas who left the clan and became civilians lived a pretty good life. They had houses and cars with no loans, and could save more than one million taels of silver every year. This was under the circumstance of not being too harsh on themselves and buying things as needed.
With this as a comparison, let's take a look at the life in my own tribe...
It’s great that Sasuke can go to Hyuga Kindergarten, otherwise if he stayed in Uchiha, who knows how he would be buried.
Unlike the Uchiha clan, which has an atmosphere of ninjas for all the people, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, does not have the talent of a ninja, so Sarutobi Hiruzen places all his hopes on Sarutobi Asuma.
but……
The hope I place on you is not for you to find a "real civilian ninja"!
You can also find a member of the Hand in Hand Clan who has disbanded!
You are looking for this female ninja named Yuhi Kurenai...
Can her family provide you with any help?
The Yuhi clan, the family of Yuhi Kurenai, is indeed very famous. Many people even say that the Yuhi clan's illusions are not inferior to those of the Uchiha clan. (Of course, we all know that strictly speaking, this can only be said to be not much inferior to the illusions of the Uchiha clan under normal circumstances. If you encounter a genius of the Uchiha clan, such as Itachi, you don't even need to open the Mangekyō. The three-magatama Sharingan can crush the illusions of the Yuhi clan. This can only be said to be the case under normal circumstances.)
But let's get back to the point, how many people are there in the Uchiha clan and how many people are there in your Yuhi clan? !
Not to mention that over the years, Yuya has dealt with families like Inuzuka, Yamanaka, and Akimichi, which don't even have much village power. Is it possible that the Yuhi family will let them go?
The Xiri family is indeed famous for its illusion techniques, but how can they make a living just by relying on illusion techniques?
Konoha Village hasn't fought a war in more than 30 years - sending Danzo to death before doesn't count, that wasn't a war, that was a clearance of inventory.
