Chapter 397 People are ambitious, and ambition will expand

The Third Hokage and Hashirama Senju have always been worried that the ninja family's influence is too great, which will hinder the development of the village.

Their idea is good, but unfortunately it is not realistic.

Because in Konoha, the only advantage that civilian ninjas have against the various families is their numbers.

Moreover, among those who have the advantage in numbers, the vast majority are lower-level ninjas.

They are those Genin who have poor talents and find it difficult to further improve their strength.

In simple terms, they are cannon fodder.

In such a situation, it is very difficult for you to suppress the ninja family.

It is true that civilian ninjas should be supported, but we cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach and train civilian ninjas without regard for the consequences while suppressing ninja families blindly.

To be honest, the right to speak in Konoha has always been in the hands of the ninja family.

The former Senju, after the Senju were popularized, became families such as Sarutobi and Shimura.

Now, the rotation has started again.

The idea of ​​infinitely weakening the influence of the Ninja family is totally unreliable. The only thing we can do is to maintain balance.

The ninja family cannot stretch their hands too far, and civilian ninjas can also be supported and even given some seats among the elders.

Anyway, the purpose of this thing's existence is basically just a status symbol.

There are only a few elders who truly hold power.

As for the ninja families, as long as there is no one dominant family, the situation in Konoha cannot be changed.

Senju Tobirama is determined to popularize the Senju clan because there are more and more ambitious people in the family.

Many people even believe that the position of Hokage should belong exclusively to the Senju clan.

Unfortunately, above these people sits Tobirama Senju, who, when he gets ruthless, won’t even let himself go.

"Yan, do you know the past of the Senju clan?"

Tsunade, who was already a little drunk, signaled to Shizune and Izumi that they could go back first, as she had something to talk to Yan about.

"I've heard a little about it, and it's also recorded in some family documents."

Yan raised her eyebrows. She knew what Tsunade wanted to express. She was simply afraid that the balance would be broken, leading to the emergence of a second Senju clan.

Shizune and Izumi left obediently. They knew that what Tsunade and Hiko talked about next was not something they could listen to casually.

It’s better to leave early, eat and drink enough, go home and have a good sleep, and continue working tomorrow.

"Cuckoo!!!!"

Tsunade took a few big gulps of wine, drinking it as if it were boiled water. Seeing Yan's eyelids twitching, the girl recalled the past and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"People's ambitions will expand, and the Senju clan is no exception. If the voices within the clan were not too loud, the Senju clan would not have embarked on the path of becoming a civilian."

Tsunade recounted some past events of the Senju clan in a disjointed manner.

She had experienced most of these things, even though she was very young at the time, and later Uzumaki Mito also deepened her memories.

Kazuhiko's own guess was similar to what he had added. Some people within the Senju clan had become more ambitious and were no longer satisfied with the requirements for candidates to be Hokage.

The family wants the position of Hokage to be hereditary, and the Senju clan occupies various positions in the village, just like the Sarutobi clan a few years ago, or even more exaggerated than the Sarutobi clan.

This has shaken the development of Konoha. After all, the various departments of Konoha at that time were not as complete as they are now.

The Senju clan took up most of the territory. What about the other clans and civilian ninjas?

Rather than saying that Senju Tobirama had a dark intention to harm his family, it would be more accurate to say that he was forced to raise the knife against his family.

Tsunade's narration was a bit vague, and even a bit incoherent.

After all, he was drunk, his tongue was a little slurred, and his mind was not very clear, but Yan was able to sort out the information he wanted from these words.

"You said...hiccup, will this happen again?"

"will not."

Yan replied calmly, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly:

"As long as no one breaks this balance, Konoha's development can be maintained stably."

In today's Konoha, there is no fertile soil for a family to grow to be as powerful as the Senju family once was.

Even if Yan has already sat in a high position and has become the Hokage's assistant, it will not work. Even if he kicked Tsunade down and sat in the position of Hokage himself, the Uchiha could not grow to this level.

Besides, Yan would not let the Uchiha grow up so arrogantly.

The Uchiha and Hyuga families only need to develop honestly and maintain their status as the big families in the village.

In other aspects, it is impossible to let them reach out.

Furthermore, it is not appropriate for Uchiha and Hyuga people to step into the inner circle.

Tsunade was right, human ambition is unlimited, and once they taste the sweetness, their ambition will continue to expand.

This is also the reason why Yan did not let Uchiha and Hyuga send people to important positions over the years.

Besides being inappropriate, it is also to prevent people from becoming arrogant.

Perhaps Itachi can be brought up in another year or two. Itachi has not gone astray, but he is different from other Uchiha people. He has the potential to become the second Senju Tobirama.

These two people have a lot in common. Both are geniuses and have been the cold and steady type since childhood.

The most important point is that when the critical moment comes, they can also be cruel.

"So, just be a good Hokage and don't think about these messes for no reason."

"Can it really be stabilized?"

"More real than pearls!"

"Anyway, no matter how the rotation goes, you won't be the worst Hokage, so just put your worries behind your stomach and eat your meat and drink."

Grandpa and second grandfather are both Hokage, both famous Hokage in the ninja world. They have strength and means. When it comes to Tsunade, the pressure on her becomes infinitely great.

Tsunade is not afraid of being compared with the Third Hokage. After all, she has only been Hokage for a few years. What she is really afraid of is being compared with the Senju brothers, Hashirama.

She was also afraid that others would say that she was the worst Hokage in Konoha's history.

In fact, Tsunade was overthinking. As long as Konoha remained stable, he would never be evaluated as the worst. After all, there was still poor Minato at the bottom, and the Third Hokage who was deposed.

Speaking of which, Minato is really pitiful. He died before he could even secure the position of Hokage. The most important thing is that during the period when he became Hokage, he couldn't get his power back. This is really embarrassing.

The Third Hokage, Danzo, and two advisory elders had him under control.

Unlike Tsunade, who had already controlled everything before becoming Hokage, Minato was really miserable in comparison.

Not to mention Konoha, even if you compare all the Kages of the five major ninja villages, Minato would probably be at the bottom.

Some of the Hokage from other villages ended up in a miserable state, but at least they had been in office for a long time and had power in their hands, unlike Minato, who could only watch helplessly and had to ask the Third Hokage for advice on everything and consult with the two advisory elders.
