Chapter 21: The Establishment of the Watergate Class

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage puffed on his cigarette, looking at the list of ninja school students in his hand.

Danzo, who was sitting on the sofa, narrowed his eyes slightly. On the table in front of him was a piece of information about the Chunin Kakashi.

In the office, the only sound left was the tapping of the Third Hokage's pen on paper.

After a while, Danzo Shimura stood up.

“Huruzen, Kakashi has been at odds with several team members in a row, causing the mission to be hampered.

If this continues, it will definitely affect the reputation of my Konoha Village. It would be better to let Kakashi come to my Root!"

The Third Hokage glanced at Danzo Shimura, then lowered his head again to study the students who were about to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

"Danzo, you came here in person just for Kakashi?"

Shimura Danzo was silent for a moment and spoke seriously.

"Yes, Kakashi is the son of Hatake Sakumo, and I have the ability to train him to be a ninja who is no less powerful than his father!"

When the Third Hokage heard Hatake Sakumo, he stopped writing.

"The roots are not for Kakashi."

When he heard the word "unsuitable", a flash of anger crossed Shimura Danzo's face.

Last time, Uchiha Shisui was not suitable, and now when it comes to Kakashi, he is not suitable again...

What on earth are these three generations thinking?

"After the recent incident in the Sand Village, many surrounding forces have been eyeing the Sand Village.

It would be fine if these forces really wanted to deal with the Sand Village, but some of them have extended their hands to our Konoha..."

The Third Hokage was silent, stood up and walked to the window, with the entire Konoha Village in sight.

He naturally put the pipe into his mouth and smoked it.

He knew that the current situation in the ninja world was too serious and a war could break out at any time.

"Use some force to deter them. Konoha Village is not someone they can afford to offend. But don't be too drastic. Leave them a way out and try to avoid starting a war. I leave this matter to you!"

"it is good!"

As the representative of Konoha's hawkish faction, Danzo Shimura is capable of doing all of this.

However, Danzo Shimura has his own little thoughts.

How can deterrence alone be enough? It is better to start a war and gain political capital.

Danzo nodded.

There was a fierce flash in his eyes.

Who wouldn't want to improve their position?

His eyes moved slightly and he glanced at the Third Hokage.

If war breaks out again, Hiruzen, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your position as the third generation, right?

Can I become a regular Hokage since my role as a supporting Hokage?

"Hiruzen, if Kakashi is trained well, he will be the new generation leader of our Konoha Village in the future.

Would you like to consider letting me train him?"

The Third Hokage didn't even turn his head, looking in the direction of the Hokage Rock in front of him.

Shimura Danzo's face darkened. He knew that not speaking meant rejecting his proposal.

Danzo Shimura looked at the back of the Third Hokage.

I wondered if Sarutobi Hiruzen had grown old and had completely lost the passion of youth.

He is so timid in everything he does, and has absolutely no ambition at all.

Danzo became even more eager to start a war.

If I were to become the Hokage, how could I be as weak as you?

"What about the Ninja School? Do you have anything to give to me?"

Speaking of the ninja school, the Third Hokage turned around.

"Recently, your Root Organization has grown a lot. Do you want to expand it?"

Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura was shocked.

Expand your own root organization, but do it quietly and in secret.

I thought everything was perfect, but I didn't expect that today Sarutobi Hiruzen would reveal it.

"Danzo, do your job well. It's better not to overstep your authority on certain matters."

"After all, I am the Hokage, and the Hokage is just a Hokage after all! You are a student of the Ninja School, you can't move!"

The Third Hokage himself regarded the Ninja School as Konoha's exclusive training base, so how could he allow them to become subordinates of the Root?

Shimura Danzo's face turned pale, knowing that he could not achieve his goal today.

Then he snorted coldly and left the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage returned to his seat.

The Third Hokage took the issue of Kakashi mentioned just now very seriously.

After all, Kakashi's identity is very special. He is the son of Hatake Sakumo, the "Konoha White Fang" who made great achievements in the ninja world during World War II.

However, ever since the death of Hatake Sakumo, the teams assigned to Kakashi have almost always been unhappy, and his teammates have many complaints about Kakashi.

If we continue to carry out tasks together in the future, it will probably be quite difficult.

The Third Hokage naturally saw this situation.

"Looks like it's time to regroup Kakashi!"

After looking through the information of the Genin and Chunin, the Third Generation shook his head.

Most of these idle ninjas don't get along well with Kakashi.

Then, several students were selected from the list of ninja school.

"Yufeng, Obito, Nohara Rin, Shizune, Might Guy..."

Looking at the student information one by one, the Third Hokage fell into deep thought.

"Choose two teammates from these people. Kakashi is proficient in physical ninjutsu, flexible in mind, and aggressive in combat. He needs a medical ninja as a backup..."

The third generation drew out Uchiha Mikaze, Nohara Rin and Kato Shizune.

"Yufeng is no good. He is good at physical skills. It would be a waste to use him only as a support here for Kakashi!"

He looked at the remaining two student profiles and pondered for a moment.

"Then let's go with Nohara Lin. They have been close since they were young!"

After saying that, he wrote down the names of Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi on a piece of paper nearby.

"For Kakashi to get back on track..."

The Third Hokage flipped through the books again and finally set his sights on Uchiha Obito.

"Uchiha Obito, although this child is a little weak, he is very enthusiastic. In the future, he will definitely be able to inherit the will of fire and kill foreign enemies for Konoha."

The Third Hokage confirmed the three people and felt something in his heart.

"This team includes civilian ninjas, the son of White Fang, who was famous in World War II, and members of the Uchiha clan..."

In the mind of the Third Generation, he thought of Jiraiya's disciple, a sunny and reliable blond boy.

"I'll leave it to Minato!"

After finishing this group, the Third Hokage looked at the information of the students in the Ninja School.

"Then let's divide it all up in advance today!"

Thinking of this, the third generation's gaze fell on Uchiha Yufeng.

"Uchiha Mikaze?"

He murmured quietly, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Yufeng, are you able to truly inherit Uchiha Kagami's will now?"

Thinking of his former teammate Uchiha Kagami, the Third Hokage's eyes showed a hint of guilt.

"Hey, the Uchiha should be kept under good care. How about letting Tsunade take care of him?"

The third generation thought about Tsunade's temperament and couldn't help but shook his head.

"Tsunade, when will your hemophobia be cured..."

The Third Hokage sighed heavily.

I no longer had the mood to continue dividing the classes. Looking at the scene of Konoha Village outside the window, I felt extremely melancholy for a moment.
