Chapter 37
The third generation of Hokage is the one who knows the situation best.
When he was in power, two Ninja World Wars took place.
Every war is an opportunity to redistribute the results of the war.
As a Hokage, he does not interfere in the open, but in secret, this influence always exists.
The benefits that the Sarutobi clan has gained are not only the compensation given by other countries.
There are also the legacies left by the families destroyed by the war.
…
Uchiha Fugaku also discovered the problem.
The land and sphere of influence controlled by the Uchiha clan have not changed since the establishment of the village.
The area of Konoha has expanded several times, while their land area has not changed. Isn't this equivalent to them not getting any benefits from Konoha's expansion?
Finally, he comforted himself that at least he had retained his ancestors' foundation.
But when he looked at the map again, he found something wrong.
The center of Konoha was moving, gradually excluding their Uchiha clan from the outermost periphery.
Moreover, they were surrounded in all aspects.
This shows that their influence has not only not increased, but is also being gradually swallowed up.
This made Uchiha Fugaku feel bitter again.
There was a big question in his mind!
Do you still believe in the Third Hokage?
Finally, his eyes fell on the newly appointed Namikaze Minato.
It seems that the Uchiha clan has few choices.
...
Some quick-witted people gradually understood the meaning behind it, and seemed to understand something in their hearts!
However, they did not dare to question it.
The Sarutobi clan and the families of several elders were the biggest beneficiaries.
They also got the benefits.
Whether they are satisfied with this bonus is another matter.
The originally noisy meeting room became silent, and the heads of these families looked at each other.
Their expressions were different, and they were secretly comparing in their hearts.
What did their family get over the years?
What did they pay?
The final answer was that the pay and return were disproportionate.
So where did the deserved things go?
He looked in the direction of the Third Hokage, the Sarutobi family, and the families around him.
…
Minato Namikaze finally saw two maps, but his mind was still agile.
He immediately understood what Hinata Shinichi wanted to convey.
His eyes fell on the elders beside him, and a sense of helplessness rose in his heart.
He looked like a Hokage.
But the Third Hokage and several elders controlled every aspect of Konoha.
His decrees could not be issued at all.
Even the so-called Anbu directly under the Hokage was in charge of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, like the Uchiha incident this time.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke only let the Third Hokage know after asking for permission.
His role is a mascot, a clown who shares the firepower with everyone.
"Wait until Kushina gives birth? There are still three months."
He recalled the words of the Third Hokage, promising that the power would be gradually handed over after Kushina gave birth.
Now he has some doubts about the authenticity of this promise.
He hopes that time will come quickly, and he will do something for Konoha.
Do something for civilian ninjas.
Their interests need to be protected.
At the end, he sighed, but still chose to compromise.
...
The changes in Namikaze Minato's expression all fell into the eyes of the Third Hokage, which made him nod in appreciation.
Choosing Namikaze Minato himself is really the right choice.
"Let's end today's meeting here! Everyone, disperse!"
The Third Hokage now needs to avoid this vortex and directly announce the end of this meeting.
The purpose of today's meeting was to force the Uchiha clan to surrender, and it has been achieved.
He regretted that he had challenged Hyuga Shinichi in such an occasion.
As soon as the voice fell.
The surrounding ninjas looked at the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage stood up and prepared to leave.
Hyuga Shinichi, however, did not intend to end it so easily.
Wouldn't all his arrangements be in vain!
"Wait, I have something to say.
Regarding the Third Hokage, questioning me, is this clan leader unqualified?
I will answer now that I am indeed unqualified.
My clan members have paid so much, but have not received the due results. This is the dereliction of duty of the successive Hyuga clan leaders, and it is also my dereliction of duty!
The Hyuga clan, only
In the Third Ninja World War, more than 300 people were sacrificed, which was one-fifth of the Hyuga clan's strength.
In the end, when the results were distributed, less than half of the Sarutobi clan's share was left!
I am very dissatisfied!"
Hinata Shinichi's voice was full of coldness, which penetrated into the ears of everyone present.
The final attack on the Third Hokage made everyone stunned.
That was the Third Hokage, and it had been a long time since anyone talked to him like this.
What did Hyuga Shinichi want to do?
"Hinata Shinichi, great sacrifice! Does not mean great military exploits!
Every merit is recorded.
Don't question the fairness of the village supervision team!"
The Third Hokage had no choice but to challenge his authority.
He had experienced this many times before.
It was also what he was best at, using the village's rules to suppress them.
Because he was the maker of the rules.
"I am questioning the village's supervision team, and they are all the direct descendants of your Sarutobi clan!
I will publish my military exploits.
Compared with the Fourth Hokage, I am not inferior at all!
Such military exploits are only half of your Sarutobi clan, no one will believe it?
You need to convince me, convince everyone!
Convince the Daimyo! "
Every word of Hyuga Shinichi touched the hearts of those small families.
On the battlefield, the most annoying people are those who supervise them.
Their military exploits are counted by the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan. Everyone knows how feasible they are.
Hyuga Shinichi first questioned the supervision team of the Sarutobi clan.
Then he compared himself with the Fourth Hokage, and he was also qualified.
Finally, he took out a vermilion scroll in his hand, which was a special order issued by the Daimyo.
This thing, he finally exchanged from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the scroll in Hyuga Shinichi's hand.
The Daimyo is the first of the country. The Hokage is the leader of the ninja village.
In name, the daimyo is qualified to supervise and command the Kage.
[When he appeared later, a daimyo said that he wanted to change the Hokage of Konoha Village. 】
However, all this is based on strength.
The high degree of autonomy of the ninja village has made some daimyo lose their sense of security.
In order to deal with the third generation Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has the longest tenure and the greatest influence and is known as the strongest Hokage in history, the daimyo of the Land of Fire specially established the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas".
It is to protect their own safety!
Some of his ideas coincide with those of Hinata Shinichi!
They are both very dissatisfied with the current situation in Konoha Village!
