Chapter 223 Listening to Jun 1 Chapter, Better than Reading New Year Books

Hatake Sakumo was upset, "Why? Can't you just leave if you don't like me? Do you know how much the third generation went too far?

Just to give you an example, from the time he came to power until now, the strength of the Sarutobi clan has increased more than tenfold, and all the small families are also related to the Sarutobi clan.

The Uchiha clan always brags about being the largest clan in Konoha. In my opinion, that is simply a joke. If the two clans really fight, I would say that the Uchiha clan is awesome if they can hold out for a day.

Xuanwu added: "Don't mention us, the Pig, Deer and Butterfly families. We are also vested interests."

Shuomao rolled his eyes at him, "You knew that! I didn't tell you because I was giving you face."

Xuanwu was truly defeated by Sakumo's naivety.

"Sakumo, every ruler will strengthen his own troops infinitely to defend his rule, and then expand his power through marriage, alliances, etc.

There is nothing wrong with what the Third Hokage did. Do you want him to divert resources toward forces that pose a threat to him, such as the Shimura clan or the Uchiha clan? If that were the case, Konoha would have fallen into endless internal strife, and he would have been driven off the position of Hokage long ago.

You see, Danzo is the head of Root on the surface, but the Third Hokage can just lead him down whenever he wants. Why? It is because behind the Third Hokage stand thousands of ninjas from the Sarutobi clan and the strong support of the Ino, Shika and Chou families. But what does Danzo have behind him? What else is he besides being the leader of Root?

Do you think Danzo doesn't want to develop the Shimura clan? With the three generations suppressing them, how can he develop it?

In fact, not only the Third Hokage did this, but the leaders of his villages also did this.

You were just the patriarch of a small and powerful family before, and you were too severely brainwashed by the Will of Fire. The idea of ​​equal distribution was deeply rooted in your heart, so it was not surprising that you could not accept it for a while.

Put yourself in my shoes. If you were the third generation, and you had 100 million resources to divide between me and someone you particularly hate, could you distribute them equally?

Okay, you can still hold it back once or twice, but what about eight or ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times?

So the third generation did a good job in this regard.

And the facts have proved that the money spent by the Third Generation was not wasted. During World War II, the Sarutobi clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho clan took the lead and had the highest casualty rate in Konoha."

Sakumo was even more dissatisfied, "So what the three generations did was right, and I don't understand anything."

Xuanwu advised: "Calm down, ha, calm down, the Third Generation was indeed a bit unfair in allocating resources, and he went too far in uniting factions to attack dissidents, but these are not his main problems."

"Then what did you say it was?"

"His main problem was that he allowed Danzo to do whatever he wanted (harming fellow ninjas, training them into humanoid weapons that only obeyed his orders, and using Konoha ninjas for human experiments). His most core problem was that he sold out the interests of the village in order to maintain his own rule, putting the cart before the horse.

He is almost losing the heart that was dedicated to Konoha when he first became Hokage."

Shuomao was relieved now. "You will say that I am not good at talking. I only know that what he did was wrong, but I can't explain it. Then why do you still persuade me to go back? I really can't stand it."

Xuanwu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who told you to be so lustful and get on board?"

Sakumo was a little embarrassed, "I can't help it. Haruko is too beautiful."

Xuanwu complained in his heart: She's just average, her looks are okay, her skin is not white, her whole body is yellow, she's skinny and small, with just a pair of A's on top, it's so exciting just looking at her, I can only last two rounds at most, and I have to take it easy. In a word, she's been crushed in all aspects by my Qianjiang.

"Then you'll just have to hold on. You can't just get on or off the Third Hokage's ship whenever you want."

"What if I can't stand it?"

"If you can't hold on, just hold on. Don't worry, the Sandaime is 48 this year. How long can he be the Hokage?"

Sakumo became even more worried. "It would be fine if you didn't say anything. I'm even more worried when you mention the change of leadership. If Orochimaru really takes over, with his personality, he will definitely not care about anything and will be busy with his own experiments all day. Then won't the Third Hokage still have the final say?"

"Who said it was that stinky snake?"

"Isn't it him? Could it be Sarutobi Shinnosuke? That would be even worse!"

Xuanwu nodded with his chin towards someone who was cleaning up in the yard, "What do you think of him?"

Sakumo glanced at him and then looked away, "You are talking about Nawaki, forget it. The Third Hokage has spent twenty years trying to eliminate the influence of the Senju clan in Konoha. He will not agree to the grandson of the First Hokage to rule Konoha again."

"Oh, that's good. You noticed the Third Hokage's move. Your years of work as the Anbu chief have not been in vain. You deserve praise."

Sakumo finally regained some dignity and took a sip of wine. Ah, so comfortable.

Xuanwu changed the subject, "But I'm not talking about him, but the one next to him."

Sakumo looked again and said uncertainly: "You mean~, you mean Minato?"

At this moment, the little sun was working hard to tidy up the yard. Its hearty smile looked even brighter under the night sky.

"Correct answer, but there is no reward."

Sakumo was a little bit unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, hey, it's really not bad.

Minato has a sunny and contagious personality, is kind-hearted and decisive. Not only is he powerful, he also has a good background.

Genbu is his brother, Jiraiya is his mentor (although he didn't teach him anything), the summoning beast is at Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places, and he has a very good relationship with the heads of the Ino, Shika and Chou families. Most importantly, he was born a commoner, and the commoner ninjas who make up half of the village have a natural affinity for him.

If he were promoted to the position of Hokage in the future, the situation in Konoha would definitely be greatly improved.

"It's really a good choice, Xuanwu. You are really amazing. I was wondering why you have been keeping a low profile until now. After all this time, you are putting your hopes on the next generation."

Xuanwu looked into the distance and spoke slowly, "Sakumo, in my opinion this is the best way. If there is an internal fight, no matter who wins or loses, the interests of the village will be harmed. No matter how bad Sarutobi Hiruzen is, at least he thinks about the village most of the time. The Sarutobi clan also loves this village. Otherwise, they would not have been able to remain active on the front line during World War II with more than 1,500 casualties.

Therefore, please be patient for a while. After the peaceful transition of power in Konoha, the problems that have accumulated over the years will be gradually resolved, and everything will be fine. "

Sakumo asked back, "Are you so sure that the Third Generation will obediently hand over power after he steps down, instead of sidelining Minato?"

This was indeed the case in the original space and time, but this space and time was different.

"No, as long as Minato ascends to the position of Hokage, I will help him gradually gain real power. I believe you will help me too, so you can't step down from the position of Anbu Minister. For the sake of the jades, can you be patient for a while?"

Shuomao said nothing, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xuanwu's, then drank the wine in one gulp.

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

This heart-to-heart talk with Xuanwu made Shuomao suddenly enlightened.
