Chapter 243 Uchiha's pride
The Uchiha clan is not willing to return to Konoha.
This point, neither Danzo, Onoki and others, nor Kakashi and Tianzang, did not expect it.
So Kakashi was in a hurry, hoping that he could persuade the Uchiha clan to change their minds.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't buy it.
"Kakashi, if Uchiha is the master of Konoha as you said, then we won't be pushed to the edge of the village."
"Uchiha has never had any obligation to save Konoha, can't they save themselves?"
Tiehuo and Itachi spoke successively, but were not moved by the bows of Kakashi and Tenzo.
Zhishui on the side didn't say a word, and didn't make any statement.
In the past, he took it as his duty to protect the village. It was not until he died once that he finally saw everything clearly. Now he has no feelings for Konoha at all.
"this…"
Kakashi and Tianzang couldn't help being dumbfounded.
They joined the Uchiha camp at the beginning to help Uchiha defeat the Ninja Alliance, and let Uchiha drive away Danzo and re-enter Konoha.
As a result, the Uchiha clan doesn't even look down on Konoha at all, and they don't bother to go back.
Seeing this scene, Tsunade sighed in his heart, and then he helped Kakashi and said:
"I have the same opinion as Kakashi.
When Konoha was established, Uchiha Madara named the village. And my grandfather named the post of village chief as Hokage, and his original intention was to let Madara be the village chief, because Hokage is the symbol of the Uchiha clan.
I think it’s time for the title of Hokage to return to its original meaning, and a ninja from the Uchiha clan will take up the post. What do you think? "
Tsunade's words are obviously more effective than Kakashi's words.
Hokage is the dream of countless Konoha ninjas, and it was also the obsession that the Uchiha clan couldn't let go of.
Madara ran away from Konoha in anger because he failed to choose Hokage, and in the decades since then, the Uchiha clan has become farther and farther away from the position of Hokage.
Now, this title that Uchiha once dreamed of is right in front of him, at his fingertips.
Does Uchiha want to return to Konoha, or become Hokage?
This question should be answered by the patriarch Fugaku or Duan, after all, the candidate for Hokage must be one of the two.
So, everyone looked at the two at the same time.
Fuyue never thought of being Hokage.
Because in his heart, there is only one candidate for Hokage, and that is his brother-in-law Uchiha Dan.
No matter in terms of strength, prestige or leadership ability, no one is more qualified than Juan.
Based on his great achievements in suppressing Four Kages and destroying tens of thousands of Ninja Allied Forces by himself, once he becomes Hokage, he can be as famous as the first generation.
And Fu Yue still remembers.
Duan once said in a joking tone at the beginning that if he becomes Hokage, the first thing he will do is to tear down the Hokage Building and rebuild a nine-story watchtower called the Castle Tower.
Then take a folding fan and stand on the top of the castle tower, overlooking all living beings, claiming to be a heavenly being.
so.
"Duan, are you ready to become a celestial being? No matter what time, I and the Uchiha clan will fully support you."
Fu Yue looked at his brother-in-law expectantly.
However, Duan seemed to be a little absent-minded. He stood up and said two sentences:
"When I went out in the morning, Samui said that she was not feeling well, and I had to go back and have a look. The patriarch can make up his mind about things here."
After finishing speaking, he walked away under the astonished eyes of everyone.
Before walking out of the conference room, Duan passed by Siying. The four of them averted their eyes for a while, showing varying degrees of fear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEspecially Danzo, the moment he made eye contact with Duan, the latter's playful eyes made him feel deep fear and uneasiness.
However, Danzo was relieved to hear that Duan didn't seem to be interested in being Hokage.
Bang Dang!
Accompanied by the sound of the conference room door closing, Duan left.
Aggressive.
Fu Yue frowned, tapped a finger on the table, and pondered for a while.
Then, he made a surprising decision.
Shua.
Fuyue stood up, looked at Kakashi, and said:
"Kakashi, as you can see, the Uchiha clan has no intention of returning to Konoha.
However, in order to thank you for your dedication this year, we will help you become Sixth Hokage! "
What?
As soon as this remark came out, Kakashi was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.
He came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hand to refuse:
"Patriarch Fuyue, you praise me too much, how could I be qualified to take the position of Hokage..."
Kakashi never expected that the Uchiha clan would be so generous and directly give him the position of Sixth Hokage to this small character.
You know, he is only 21 years old this year, younger than when his teacher Shidai Hokage Namikaze Minato was in charge.
Moreover, when Namikaze Minato became Hokage, he had already made great achievements in the Third Ninja World War. He was a yellow flash that shocked the Ninja World, and it can be said that it was what the people wanted.
In contrast, Kakashi's foundation and background are much weaker, and it is really not enough for the post of Hokage.
But... there is one person who qualifies.
Thinking of this, Kakashi glanced at Tsunade and made a suggestion:
"How about letting Tsunade-sama become Hokage, and Tenzo and I return to Anbu's post to assist Tsunade-sama in managing Konoha."
In Kakashi's mind, the best candidate for Hokage is actually Fugaku, because this Uchiha patriarch is mature, stable, and considers the overall situation.
However, since the Uchiha clan does not want to return to Konoha, they can only settle for the next best thing.
Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first generation of Hokage, and her roots are red; she was once one of the Konoha Sannin, and made many military exploits for Konoha on the battlefield; she is also a medical master, who has cured countless diseases and saved countless lives, and is respected by the whole ninja world.
No matter from which point of view, she is a suitable candidate for the sixth generation.
Unfortunately, Kakashi is a little wishful thinking.
"What kind of **** Hokage, I'm not right, don't come looking for me!"
Tsunade refused without hesitation, and glared at Kakashi, making the latter look embarrassed.
If she really wanted to be Hokage, she would have fought for it long ago, instead of leaving Konoha and not going back for more than ten years.
Not to mention, it is a very embarrassing thing for Tsunade to become Hokage with the support of the Uchiha clan.
She, who always cares about saving face, would not agree.
Hokage was originally a title that countless people fought for, but at this time, it was rejected by Duan, Kakashi and Tsunade one after another.
It seems that Hokage's name is worthless garbage.
The situation was awkward for a while.
Danzo's eyes flashed, but he was completely relaxed. On the surface, he was calm, but in his heart he was secretly delighted.
In this way, the Uchiha clan will definitely not return to Konoha, and Tsunade is unwilling to be Hokage, and Kakashi is incapable of being Hokage.
This also means that Danzo is still the Fifth Hokage, and Konoha Village still has the final say.
Sure enough.
"So, let's call it a day."
Fuyue looked at Siying, his eyes were pierced, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, you can take your army back. But please remember that according to the defeat agreement, all compensation must be paid within one month. At that time, our Uchiha clan would not mind visiting in person."
The faces of the four of them changed upon hearing the words, and then they got up one after another and left in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Siying leaving.
"Father, should we just let Danzo go back to Konoha like this?"
Itachi suppressed his anger, feeling unwilling.
For a long time, he wanted to kill Danzang with his own hands, so as to avenge him, but he still couldn't do so.
Especially at the moment, the Uchiha clan has obviously won a big victory, but they even let Danzo retreat completely, and return to Konoha to continue to be Hokage.
Itachi cannot accept.
Fuyue frowned upon hearing this, and then sternly told Itachi:
"This matter is actually your uncle's intention. You should stop pestering Danzo."
Uncle mean?
Itachi froze on the spot, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Fuyue shook his head. In fact, he can't quite understand why Duan has to indulge Danzo again and again, but since it is Duan's decision, there must be a deep meaning.
The meeting ended, and the members of the village committee were also dismissed.
After going out.
"Senior, what should we do next?" Tianzang looked confused.
Kakashi frowned, deep in thought.
Could it be that he really wants to drive the duck to the shelves by himself and become the Sixth Hokage? However, even if he becomes Hokage, Kakashi doesn't think he has the ability to change Konoha's status quo.
at this time.
"On this issue, why don't you ask the villagers of Konoha what they think?" Tsunade's voice suddenly came from behind the two.
Kakashi was stunned, and quickly bowed to Tsunade, sincerely said:
"Master Tsunade, please advise."
Snapped!
Tsunade stepped forward, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and explained the mystery:
"With the arrogant personality of the Uchiha clan, they will never take the initiative to return to Konoha. Don't you guys see this clearly? Unless...
The Konoha villagers are willing to apologize for their attitude towards the Uchiha clan in the past, and collectively petition, and even send representatives to the mountain cemetery in person, begging the Uchiha clan to go back, there may be a glimmer of hope. "
It turns out...that's it.
Kakashi's pupils dilated, and finally realized suddenly, and he figured out many things in an instant.
In this world, apart from Uchiha himself, the person who knows this clan best is Tsunade-sama.
Think here.
"Master Tsunade, I understand."
Kakashi nodded, and then told Tianzang, "Go, go back to Konoha!"
…
The remnants of the Four Great Ninja Village withdrew from the mountain cemetery in desperation.
When they came, they were aggressive, and when they returned, they were left with only misery and desolation. Those who survived by chance, the psychological shadow produced in the war will also accompany them for life.
Konoha's army suffered particularly heavy casualties. Only 6,000 of the 20,000 army survived, and less than one-third of the survivors.
Over the past year, successive wars have almost wiped out Konoha's ninjas.
For example, Konoha's ace unit, Ikacho, suffered heavy losses. Among the patriarchs of the three major families, Kaiichi Yamanaka died, Shikajiu Nara was unconscious, and Dingza Akimichi was seriously injured.
In addition, the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata, also lost an arm and a leg in this war and became disabled.
As for other small and medium ninja clans, the casualties were even more severe, and even the entire ninja clan died, and the clan was directly exterminated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the way back to Konoha, many Konoha ninjas died of serious injuries, and a thousand people died one after another.
The last ones who returned to Konoha were less than five thousand.
These people are almost Konoha's last combat power, and they also include many old, young, sick and disabled.
Danzo doesn't care about these.
As soon as he came back, he ordered the Anbu to search for money, and must collect the war indemnity in the shortest possible time.
Of the one billion in compensation requested by the Uchiha clan, Konoha accounted for 300 million. For Konoha Village today, this is not a small sum.
If the money cannot be paid within a month, Danzo's Hokage position will be lost.
So he does everything possible, even if he rushes into the clan lands of the major ninja clans and robs them, or confiscates the shops and properties of the villagers, he still has to do everything possible to get 300 million.
For a while, the people of Konoha complained.
What makes people even more desperate is not only that Konoha has to pay high war reparations, but that Danzo is still sitting in Hokage's seat, oppressing Konoha villagers.
in addition.
Because the Uchiha clan did not speak, the garrisons of the major ninja villages did not have to evacuate from Konoha.
That is to say, the series of unequal agreements previously signed between the Four Great Ninja Villages and Konoha are still valid, which will undoubtedly make things worse for Konoha.
Today, a new pattern in the ninja world has taken shape.
The Uchiha clan is the upper class, the Four Great Ninja Villages are the upper class, and only Konoha ninjas and villagers are the lower class.
After realizing this cruel fact, feelings of despair and resentment gradually spread in Konoha Village.
What the villagers hate the most is not the Four Great Ninja Village, let alone Uchiha, but Danzo.
It was Danzo, an old man, who made Konoha what it is today, and he led Konoha to its demise step by step.
In this situation.
The ninjas and villagers of Konoha finally couldn't take it anymore.
Although there are lessons learned from the extermination of the Sarutobi clan, if they don’t stand up against Danzo’s rule, everyone will end up like the Sarutobi clan sooner or later.
A storm is rapidly brewing inside Konoha.
Late at night, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the village was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.
In the mansion of the Hyuga clan.
Hyuga, Ikacho, Inuzuka, Aurome, Kazaki, Ise, Mimura and other clan heads of big and small families all gathered together and are plotting a coup d'état.
"Everyone, facts have proved time and time again that Danzo can do anything to keep the position of Hokage. If we go on like this, it will be tantamount to slow death. Everyone must unite and fight against Danzo!"
Hyuga Hinata sternly said, losing a leg and an arm, he exuded a tragic and tragic aura all over his body, which made people have no doubt that the Hyuga patriarch would fight Danzo desperately.
The Hyuga clan was miserable not only by Hizuru, but also hundreds of clan members were brutally gouged out of their eyes and became blind under the order of Danzo.
This family has the strongest desire for a coup d'état.
"But, can we succeed? There are so many detonating symbols buried in the village, all under Danzo's control. Once he is cornered and detonates them..."
Someone asked, looking worried.
"Ahem."
Nara Shikahisa paled, coughed twice, and said to everyone, "Over the past year, we have been planning secretly, taking advantage of Danzo's inattention, replacing most of the detonating symbols with counterfeit ones that will not explode.
As for Hokage Rock, although Anbu is closely guarded, we cannot sneak in, but according to my calculation and analysis, Danzo or Xuanweng are lying!
Even if Danzo detonates Hokage Rock, causing Konoha Houshan to collapse, its power is not enough to bury the entire Konoha.
In other words, Danzo is just bluffing. cough cough..."
After speaking, Lu Jiu coughed again.
After hearing the words, everyone was still a little undecided. After all, once a coup was launched, there was no turning back.
Seeing this, Rizu shook his head. It seemed that there was only one last way to convince these people.
So, he looked into the darkness and said in a deep voice:
"You two, please show up."
