Chapter 461 Conversation
"Humph!"
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the diffuse smoke suddenly fluctuated, and a cold snort came from the air.
"As the Third Hokage, are you so frightened by the evil brat of the Uchiha family?"
"Hiruzen!"
Hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and looked at the man on one side.
"Danzo!"
"It's not fear."
"But fear!"
Danzo waved his hand and dispersed the smoke in the office: "The meaning of these two words, fear and jealousy, and the results they cause are no different!"
"The Uchiha clan has been a major hidden danger to Konoha since the first generation!"
"Now, there is one more Uchiha Sharaku. If he really awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan, are you sure that he will not become the next Madara?"
"Hiruzhan, as the Hokage, what you should do right now is not sit here and smoke a cigarette with a sad face!"
"But try every means to solve Uchiha's troubles."
Upon hearing that name, which was considered taboo in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed.
"Danzo, it's over."
"Although Xia Le is a member of the Uchiha clan, he is also a member of our Konoha clan."
"As a senior member of the village, you should not judge anyone so arbitrarily."
"need to know."
After a pause, the Third Hokage sighed.
"They are also the ones who have paid their sweat and blood for the village!"
Upon hearing such words, Danzo sneered.
"Uchiha is an evil clan!"
"Do you, as the Hokage, still want to offer them up?"
"Whether it is the First Hokage or the Second Hokage, Tobirama-sama, I think you should be very clear about the attitude of the Uchiha clan."
"In this case, can you be sure that they have no complaints in their hearts?"
Danzo's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression change slightly, and he took another puff of dry smoke.
"I think you, as the Hokage, should know the situation within the Uchiha clan better!"
"They have long since given birth to a faction that is very ambitious and wants to usurp power and control the entire Konoha."
"but."
At this point, Danzo sneered again.
"This is none of my business!"
"Anyway, what they want to usurp is your power, Hokage-sama."
"Haha~~, even so, do you still want to be hesitant? Hiruzen!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a dry cigarette silently and did not respond to his old friend's words.
Although he knew that the other party was somewhat complaining about him because of his position as Hokage. But I have to admit that there is some truth in these sharp words.
"It is unwise to make any decision arbitrarily."
"Before this, we should discuss it with the Uchiha people."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly and knocked the ashes from the smoking pot in his hand to the ground.
"ridiculous!"
"Your gentleness can only be exchanged for the disdain and arrogance of the Uchiha clan!"
"What finally ushered in was more intensified conflicts."
Danzo sneered again and again.
He really couldn't understand the other party's way of handling things. He always wanted to suppress the problem, but he never thought that as long as the problem was never dealt with, there would always be problems.
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, but did not respond to the other party.
As Hokage, he makes his own decisions instead of being led by others.
Although there are some different voices within the Uchiha clan now, which is not conducive to the internal stability of Konoha, the overall situation is still controllable.
It is undoubtedly unwise for him to take the initiative and intensify the conflict.
Nowadays, the most appropriate and reasonable method is still to listen to the other party's intention.
If the Uchiha clan does have ambitious ideas.
By then, it's not too late to react.
"Hiruzhan, you are already the Hokage, so stop being so naive!"
Danzo stood up with a sneer.
"You also said that I am the Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help it and spoke coldly.
"Humph!!"
Danzo was instantly furious, opened the door and left quickly.
Seeing the other party leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looking at the documents on the table, his expression changed.
The Uchiha clan was one of the two wealthy families that founded the village in Konoha. However, as Konoha developed day by day, it eventually became a being that was feared by people.
I have to say that this is very regrettable, but it is also part of the reason why all previous Hokages have felt great pressure.
And how to deal with them, or rather treat them, is also the most troublesome thing for him as the Third Hokage.
The recent rumors about the rise of Uchiha in the village have also partially affected the stability of the village.
Some people are afraid of the existence of Uchiha, fearing that they will cause internal unrest if they have great power.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that the Uchiha clan had not taken many extraordinary actions in recent days. Instead, they continued to live a quiet life as before.
This also allowed him to make a judgment that perhaps Xia Le, who had risen in recent years, was not that ambitious person, and was completely different from the man he once was.
"The specific situation requires further judgment after contact."
Murmured, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.
"Shh!"
In the office, a figure wearing a fox mask immediately appeared.
"Send a letter of visit to the Uchiha Clan's Chief Fugaku for me!"
"Just say that I will visit you in the next day or two!"
The fox-faced ANBU was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
After a moment, the ANBU flashed away.
"Mangekyo Sharingan."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly, with a solemn look in his eyes.
"The little girl from the Uzumaki family has been monitored even more strictly recently!"
It was related to the stability of the village, and he had to guard against it.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If an Uchiha person were to come into contact with the Kyuubi, it would be conceivable that it would be an unpredictable disaster.
At that time, the entire existence will be constrained by the other party.
-
Uchiha family.
"Clan leader, the Third Hokage has sent us a greeting card!"
"He said he would personally visit you in the next two days."
Fugaku took the envelope, opened it, and then scanned the contents on the paper, his expression flashing.
The visit from the Third Hokage did not surprise him.
If anyone is worried about the rise of Uchiha the most, it must be the Third Hokage.
"What is supposed to come will come!"
Fugaku sighed.
But soon, he sorted out his emotions.
To say that I am worried, it is not that much.
After all, now I am already a Mangekyo Sharingan, my strength has improved by more than one step, and I won't be afraid even if I face the third generation.
Plus, Xia Le's power.
In Fugaku's eyes, the Uchiha clan today is no less powerful than when that person existed.
Thinking of this, his body trembled and he felt a little enlightened.
"Surprisingly, there is already the power to dominate Konoha?"
But soon, he came to his senses and shook his head violently.
"The village is not that simple!"
From the time of the First Generation to today, Konoha's strength cannot be underestimated.
Families such as Hinata, Senju, Sarutobi, Inokacho, Hatake, etc. all have their own powerful secret techniques.
If he really rashly becomes an enemy of the entire village, Uchiha will only face a tragic ending.
The next morning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen came to visit. The tribesmen guarding the door saw the Hokage wearing a bamboo hat, and their eyes were filled with surprise and awe.
People who can hold the position of Hokage are naturally not simple.
Especially the Third Hokage, who is now in his prime, has the title of ninjutsu professor in the ninja world, and his three disciples are now the famous Sannin. "Hokage-sama!"
"Please come in!"
After bending down to salute, the Uchiha clan guarding the door turned around and led the other party through the door.
"Excuse me!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was smiling and had a very polite expression.
At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku also received the news.
As he stood up and walked towards the living room, he said to the subordinate next to him with a serious face.
"Go and ask Elder Xia Le to come over."
A moment later, in the Uchiha drawing room.
Uchiha Fugaku was sitting in the main seat with a smile on his face, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting on the left.
There was a cup of hot tea on the table in front of both of them.
"Lord Hokage, come and let the Uchiha clan flourish."
"It's a rare visitor."
The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly: "The Uchiha clan is a wealthy family in Konoha. It is my dereliction of duty that I have not visited them since I took office!"
Uchiha Fugaku smiled: "Hokage-sama, you're welcome!"
"You are busy with your affairs, as I and the clan members know very well."
Under the simple pleasantries, the conversation between the two was without any nutrition.
After a while, a figure stepped steadily into it.
"Xia Le, you are finally here."
Fugaku smiled.
"Ok!"
Xia Le nodded and sat opposite Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said: "Hokage-sama!"
"Elder Xia Le, this visit is quite disturbing!"
The Third Hokage said again.
"It is our honor that Hokage-sama is willing to get closer to the Uchiha clan!"
Xia Le smiled.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he heard different meanings from the other party's simple words.
Obviously, the most powerful Uchiha who is now famous in the village speaks much more straightforwardly than Fugaku, the clan leader.
Perhaps this is because of the confidence brought by strong strength.
But it will undoubtedly make Sarutobi Hiruzen's subsequent conversation much easier.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly smiled and spoke.
"Oh? Elder Xia Le, are you willing to get close to the village?"
Uchiha Fugaku sat there without making a sound, as if he was in a trance.
In fact, he himself didn't know how to deal with the arrival of the third generation.
"As long as the village doesn't go too far, the Uchiha is happy to live in peace with everyone!"
Xia Le smiled slightly.
After a slight pause, he emphasized his tone again.
"As we all know, we Uchiha are a peace-loving clan!"
With one sentence, the other two people present fell silent.
The corners of Fugaku's mouth trembled, and the Third Hokage's eyelids trembled a few times. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only grin to show politeness.
This is so nonsense!
Uchiha peace loving?
Who in the ninja world doesn't know that your Uchiha clan is the most evil. Especially the man who lived at the same time as the first generation was a famous war maniac.
"The Third Hokage has just assumed the position of Hokage, but he still remembers the Uchiha clan, which makes us quite touched."
Xia Le chuckled and spoke.
"Konoha has never forgotten the Uchiha clan!"
"As Hokage, I can guarantee this!"
Hearing this, the Third Hokage looked serious and serious, and said in a deep voice.
"is it?"
Xia Le laughed.
"Then, Lord Hokage, can you expand Uchiha's power over the village again?"
One sentence made Fugaku widen his eyes and look at him in surprise and shock.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also startled, his eyes narrowed, as if he didn't expect the other party to say that at all.
The scene became silent again, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"Your Excellency Xia Le, how do you want to expand?"
"The security force that Uchiha is now responsible for is already a very important responsibility in the village!"
After a long time, the Third Hokage spoke solemnly.
He did not expect that the other party would directly ask for power.
"Of course the guard is important."
"But at the same time, it will offend many people!"
"It's better not to."
Immediately afterwards, Xia Le's words made Fugaku and Hiruzen stunned again.
"Elder Xia Le!"
Upon hearing such words, Fugaku was the first to be anxious, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
The position of the Konoha Guards was a right that the Uchiha clan had fought for for a long time. If they were given away, the clan would be furious.
The Third Hokage was stunned and said with a confused look on his face: "Uchiha, don't you want to take up the responsibility of the guard?"
"That you?"
His expression became strange.
Since the first generation, the Uchiha clan has been fighting for power, wanting to have more say in Konoha, and even directly targeting the position of Hokage.
The police force is the result of political struggle.
But now, the other party actually said that they don't need it.
"Compared to the Guard!"
"We Uchiha hope to build a shadow team that belongs to Konoha!"
Holding the tea cup, Xia Le ignored Fugaku's eager eyes and spoke slowly.
"Oh?"
"Appreciate further details!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked interested.
He came here just to explore the attitude of the Uchiha clan after its rise, so as to make political moves related to Uchiha during his term in office.
But he didn't expect that this would be unexpected.
The strongest Uchiha actually came up with a new suggestion.
"Uchiha can give up his position in the police force and hand it over to other families."
"However, we also want to contribute to the village, so we would like to ask Hokage-sama for advice on a new job."
There was a pause.
"The long-term war has caused many lost parents and orphans in Konoha."
"Uchiha wants to take in these orphans and teach them knowledge and ninjutsu, so as to cultivate a new team for Konoha."
After saying these words, Fugaku became even more anxious.
"Elder Xia Le, please think twice!!"
But the Third Hokage began to think deeply, and he looked at the other party with doubts on his face.
In these few words, although it is not clear what the Uchiha clan is going to do, it can already be seen.
Does the young Uchiha in front of him actually want to absorb the common people and orphans in the village to create a new team?
Konoha may not have considered this kind of thing, but in the end it gave up because of the huge expense and load.
Training ninja is not an easy task, and even with Konoha's understanding, there are only a few genin who graduate in one year.
Uchiha wants to do something like this?
"I need to think about this matter. I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an answer right away!"
The Third Hokage said cautiously.
Xia Le smiled slightly.
"of course can!"
The conversation between the two people directly ignored Fugaku, which made the Uchiha clan leader's complexion become extremely livid.
