Chapter 115: Hokage's Theory

"Since the Uzumaki clan, there have been problems with Sarutobi Hiruzen's governing strategy. In other words, he has almost no clear governing line.

Every change in Konoha was passively welcomed. Every time, he tried to solve the problem only after it happened.

From a ninja's perspective, this is understandable, but from a leader's perspective, this is unacceptable.

As a leader, it is inevitable to fight for power, and it is even a sign of maturity, because the first thing a leader should do is to ensure that his leadership position will not be easily shaken.

But this kind of power struggle must be controlled within an appropriate range. The bottom line is that the interests of the village cannot be exchanged for one's own interests. When a person does this, he is no longer worthy of being a leader."

"Sarutobi-sensei has always put Konoha's interests first..."

"The Uzumaki clan, White Fang, Uchiha..."

Aoba said these three names, but Jiraiya was obviously not convinced.

"It was not only the Kumogakure who destroyed the Uzumaki clan, but also the coalition forces of other ninja villages. Konoha could not directly go to war with other ninja villages."

"...Look at what you said, Jiraiya. Konoha cannot declare war on other ninja villages? If I remember correctly, Uzumaki and Konoha are in a military alliance, right? Lord Jiraiya, would you like to explain to me what a military alliance is?"

Jiraiya was silent. Aoba once again made him speechless. Because, at that time, it was not Konoha declaring war on other ninja villages. It was other ninja villages declaring war on Konoha. This is the meaning of the existence of military alliances.

Aoba didn't even finish what he said. For example, Konoha could avoid direct fighting. They could just rescue a group of Uzumaki clan members, take away their heritage, and then merge them into Konoha.

This would kill two birds with one stone and strengthen Konoha's foundation. But the Anbu only saved one person in the end... one... one...

In fact, it was after the destruction of the whirlpool that Konoha's dominance began to be frequently challenged. I killed your ally, and you didn't say a word. Then of course I have to go a step further and continue to test you. Maybe if I fuck you, you won't dare to resist?

At that time, the ninja villages such as Kumogakure and Iwagakure definitely thought so, especially Kumogakure.

Although he was the defeated party, he saw through the true nature of Konoha. He danced in front of Konoha in various ways. Sarutobi Hiruzen endured it all.

This can be considered as the master-disciple relationship between him and Jiraiya. Because Jiraiya said that a ninja is someone who can endure what ordinary people cannot endure. So it seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen is really able to endure.

"What about the Uchiha? They are preparing for a rebellion."

Jiraiya knew that Konoha was too dishonest in what happened to White Fang. The lower class people didn't understand. But as a high-ranking official, Jiraiya knew the inside story of White Fang's death. He couldn't stand it.

"Need I remind you, Master Jiraiya? Konoha's symbol is a combination of the Senju and Uchiha. It's not Sarutobi, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Inuzuka..."

"...Uchiha people are not suitable to be Hokage. They are..."

Jiraiya suddenly stopped talking here, because he didn't completely agree with the following sentence.

"Go on, say the words that have been circulating in Konoha for a long time."

"..."

"Then let me say for you, the Uchiha are an evil clan, is this correct?"

"They shouldn't have rebelled anyway." Jiraiya tried to change the subject.

"Then would you like to tell us, Lord Jiraiya, why did the Uchiha rebel?"

This question stumped Jiraiya again. He wanted to give the answer on his lips. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was missing. But he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Then let me say it. The Uchiha have always wanted one of their own to be the Hokage. But Konoha never gave it to them. Why not? Because the Uchiha are an evil clan. You see, the problem is back to square one.

Let me confirm this one last time, Master Jiraiya. Are you sure that the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, made this comment about Uchiha?"

Jiraiya remained silent. He had given up on arguing with Kamikawa Aoba. But deep down, he was actually curious.

One is why Kamikawa Aoba knows so much about Konoha's secrets. The other is how he will explain this matter.

"If you don't know, then let me tell you. This is the complete evaluation of the Uchiha by the Second Hokage.

This is a group of people who have restrained their emotions. They seem cold, heartless, and even evil.

But once the Uchiha clan members understand love, their long-restrained emotions will be released. When the love in their hearts is released, they will also awaken a power that surpasses the Senju clan.

However, overly strong love also has certain side effects, that is, the awakened power of the Uchiha clan may go out of control because of this strong love.

The Uchiha people who understand love, once they lose the love in their hearts, their strong love will turn into even stronger hatred.

Their entire temperament will change drastically because of this. During this process, a special chakra will be produced in the brains of the Uchiha people. This chakra will stimulate their eyes and cause changes in their eyes, which will become the Sharingan.

This is why the Sharingan is called the Eye of Soul Reflection. As the hatred in the hearts of the Uchiha people grows stronger, their power will also increase.

In addition, most of the Uchiha clan are naturally thoughtful, so once they awaken this power, they will easily be swallowed by darkness and become an 'evil clan'."

Aoba's words made Jiraiya and Tsunade silent. Although Tsunade was the princess of the Senju clan, she didn't know much about the Uchiha clan. It was also the first time she heard such a detailed and specific analysis of the Uchiha clan and even the power of the Sharingan.

Now, even Tsunade began to look at Aoba with a strange look. This guy knew too much.

"Then why did the Second Hokage move the Uchiha clan to the edge of Konoha and isolate them?"

Because Senju Tobirama is a qualified Hokage. This is also the power struggle I mentioned earlier. Don't forget that he accepted Uchiha Kagami as his disciple.

The Second Hokage, although wary of the Uchiha, never thought of destroying the Uchiha. He knew very well that the Uchiha were an important force in the village. Isolation was fine, but not excessive pressure.

The balance between these two aspects is the embodiment of the Hokage's ability.

Sarutobi Hiruzen worked very hard to learn from his teacher, but unfortunately, he only learned a little bit.
