Konoha Hypocrite

One month later.

Since Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku returned to the village.

The atmosphere in the village seemed to have changed suddenly.

Originally, the villagers talked about the war and which hero every day.

But now, a different voice suddenly appeared.

The most intuitive thing is the old men and women in the orphanage.

No matter how old they are.

They have almost mastered most of the information in the village, whether true or false.

After breakfast every morning, they would leave the welfare home one after another and go to various elderly gathering places in the village.

For example: under a certain big tree, at the entrance of certain ninja tribes, or in certain places suitable for walking dogs and cats.

This is also why the old spy that Uchiha Tunan killed before was obviously just an ordinary person, but he could still become Kumogakure's senior spy.

The main reason is because he has already infiltrated Konoha's largest intelligence organization and obtained a lot of information.

At this time, in a park not far from the Uchiha clan.

A group of old men were sitting on chairs, watching the old women walking their cats and playing with their dogs in the park, and talking about current events.

"The war is ending and Hokage-sama is in trouble."

“My son just came off the battlefield and he told me about what happened on the front line.

I heard that Tunan-sama became disabled because Hokage-sama gave wrong instructions.

Forcing the under-strength Konoha army to fight Kumogakure head-on.

If Lord Tunan hadn't used the forbidden technique, Konoha would have been wiped out. "

"Isn't this war won in the end? Who can guarantee that there will be no problems with the strategy?"

"Do you know how many people died?

There are thousands of ninjas.

There are only so many ninjas in Konoha, how can it be considered a big deal if so many people die?

The most important thing is that these people could have survived, and it's not like Konoha couldn't afford to delay them.

Anyway, this time it was obvious that Hokage-sama was eager to get ahead.

He must take responsibility. "

"According to this, Hokage-sama will probably have to resign from his position.

Then who will be the fourth Hokage? "

"Actually, I think the person most suitable to be Hokage is Master Tunan.

Emphasis on love and justice, and wholeheartedly serve the good of the villagers.

When he was still young, he dared to fight for the villagers against the then-powerful Sannin.

During the war, Raikage and Kazekage were killed.

Apart from being too young, he basically has no shortcomings. "

"But Tunan-sama is already disabled, and there has never been a disabled person who became Hokage.

Speaking of which, where should Konoha's face go? "

"Apart from Tunan-sama, I think Shikaku-sama is also good. After all, the western front was the first to win."

"Sir Shikaku's strength seems to be a little bit behind.

The Hokage is the face of Konoha, and his strength cannot be inferior to that of the other villages' Kage. "

"How about Namikaze Minato, I heard that he killed thousands of enemies by himself.

He also has a good character and is kind to others. "

While the old men were discussing and chattering, a cold snort came from behind.

"Hmph, the clan leader should be Fugaku-sama.

Regardless of strength or military exploits, Lord Fugaku is the perfect candidate for Hokage. "

The old men turned around and saw a white-haired Uchiha standing under the tree with a cane.

Immediately they whispered one by one:

"It's the old Uchiha guy."

"Walk, walk, stay away from him."

"It's a bit unlucky today."

...

In the village, the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to step down was naturally released by his old enemy Danzo.

Just to put a little pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uchiha Fugaku intends to compete for the position of Hokage.

After all, for him, if he succeeds, he will make a lot of money.

If it fails, it's not a big problem.

Is it possible that the future Fourth Hokage will be able to destroy the Uchiha clan?

At most, they can only provide a few resources. The Uchiha clan has a great cause and does not lack that.

Root base.

Danzo has been very busy these days.

In order to ensure that he got enough support, he won over all the ninjas he could win over.

In the past, Danzo wouldn't even look at the clan leaders of the little ninja clan.

At this time, Danzo was seen sitting in his seat, with a slightly tired look on his face.

Below, Aburame Ryoma is kneeling on one knee to report:

“Lord Danzo, we have followed your orders.

Spread the news and the reason why Hokage-sama is about to abdicate.

Now the villagers are discussing who will be the next Hokage. "

Danzo nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, I understand.

Get ready, the daimyo will visit tomorrow. "

Aburame Ryoma stood up slowly, hesitated for a moment, but still expressed the doubts in her heart.

"Danzo-sama, there is really no need to spread the news that you are running for Hokage."

A trace of contempt flashed in Danzo's eyes, and he sneered:

“It’s the villagers’ turn to decide this kind of thing.

I order you to spread this news, just to put a little more pressure on Hiruzen.

In the entire Konoha, there are only a few people who really have decision-making power.

The only way to impress those old foxes is profit.

They won't change their minds just because of a few words from the villagers. "

As he spoke, Danzo's image of Uchiha Tunan appeared in his mind. He raised his right hand, shook it in front of him, and said in a confident tone:

“I have already won over the person who has the most say in this decision-making.

In addition, I have secretly negotiated terms with the daimyo, and he will support me when the time comes.

This matter can be said to be a sure thing. "

........

That night, at Sarutobi Hiruzen's home.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife made a rare trip back to Lake Biwa.

I cooked a dinner for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the two of them sat at the dining table and ate in silence.

After eating, Sarutobi Biwako did not immediately get up and clear away the dishes, but said:

"Do you know what's going on in the village recently?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the cigarette stick and lit it, took a deep breath, and said leisurely:

“On the stage of the strong, the role of those common people is negligible.

I already have a backup plan left, if I really can't handle the pressure and need to resign from my position.

Then take advantage of the situation and recommend Minato to become Hokage.

Then I can continue to hold power on the grounds of training. "

Sarutobi Biwako was silent for a while after hearing this, and then whispered softly after a long time:

"Power...is it really that important to you?"

But when Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his cigarette ashes, turned his head and glanced at the family portrait hanging on the wall, his eyes turned slightly red and he said:

“Shinnosuke and Asuma are gone.

All I have now is power.

Not only am I the Hokage, I am also the leader of the Sarutobi clan.

It is my duty to protect the Sarutobi clan.

Power allows tribesmen to obtain more resources and better training.

Do relatively safe tasks to ensure the continuation of the family bloodline.

The village is not as friendly as it seems.

Various ethnic groups compete with each other for limited resources overtly or covertly.

Common people seem to live a happy life, but in fact they are the saddest.

Many people may never have the opportunity to see a few advanced ninjutsu in their lifetime. "

Sarutobi Biwako nodded when he heard this, sighed and said, "Are you sure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, and while smoking a cigarette, he muttered:

“The person who has the most say in this matter is Uchiha Tunan.

His military exploits were so great that if he hadn't happened to be disabled, he would have been the next Hokage.

I have already asked Minato to speak a good word for me in front of Uchiha Tunan and advise Uchiha Tunan not to participate in the impeachment.

Their relationship was already good, and this matter was somewhat certain to succeed.

As long as he can say Tong Uchiha Tunan will not participate in the impeachment.

Then maybe I can continue to be Hokage.

This is why I didn't tell Minato that I wanted him to be Hokage. "

The next day.

The morning light shines through the dawn sky, awakening the sleeping earth.

In the forest within the Land of Fire.

Hundreds of uniformly dressed guards were divided into two columns, guarding the sedan in the middle.

Next to the sedan, a rough-looking man with a sword on his waist strode forward, always keeping his position just behind the sedan window.

So that people in the car can listen to orders in time without affecting the view of the scenery along the way.

In the car, Naraku sat expressionless, holding a delicate porcelain bowl in his left hand.

It was filled with brown granular feed.

On his left shoulder is a white pigeon that has been fed to become bloated and fat.

But Naraku stretched out his right hand and picked up a piece of feed from the porcelain bowl.

The white pigeon lying on his shoulder opened its sleepy eyes and opened its mouth habitually, waiting for Naraku to put the feed into its mouth.

Suddenly, Bai Ge opened his eyes, trembled all over, and glanced to the side.

As if sensing some kind of call, he spread his wings and fluttered out of the window, regardless of eating the food Naraku put in front of his mouth.

It's just that the body is too bulky, so the frequency of wing flapping is a bit fast.

It went up and down several times in mid-air before it successfully flew into the clouds.

In the sedan chair, Naraku's hands were hanging in the air.

The whole person seemed to have turned into a wax figure, motionless.

After a long cup of tea, the white pigeon has not returned yet.

But he saw Naraku's chest rising and falling, gasping for air.

A strange smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he was eager to devour others.

His whole body started to tremble and tremble.

After a few breaths, Naraku's extremely suppressed laughter rang out in the car.

"Hehe...hehehahaha..."

Ever since Uchiha Toonan left Shirodo with him, he had hardly had a good night's sleep.

When a person can control his own life and death and observe his every move anytime and anywhere.

That kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can endure.

Naraku considers himself a person who is afraid of death.

In the past few years, he had been worried about Uchiha Tunan activating the curse seal in his mind.

He almost treats Bai Ge as an ancestor.

Every word you say and everything you do must be carefully considered.

Suddenly, the laughter in the car stopped suddenly, and Naraku's stern voice came out.

"How far is it from Konoha now?"

When the big man outside the sedan heard this, he bent his waist a little and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, there are still thirty kilometers to go."

In the car, the ferocious smile on Naraku's face disappeared instantly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his eyes slightly uneasily to look around.

Thirty kilometers...

Have I entered his range of perception?

Is that why he recalled the pigeons?

It should be...

Fortunately, I just smiled, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Naraku breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice:

"Stop and repair one kilometer outside Konoha."

After saying that, Naraku closed his eyes and sat back.

While feeling the long-lost freedom, I was thinking about how to proceed during this trip.

at the same time.

In the corridor of the orphanage.

Uchiha Tunan was sitting in a wheelchair holding tea, as if welcoming the rising sun.

Soon after, a black spot appeared in the direction facing the sun.

The black spots grew larger and larger, taking on the appearance of white doves.

I saw the bloated white dove spread its wings, glided sharply, and landed heavily on Uchiha Tunan's shoulder.

The white pigeon seemed very excited to see Uchiha Tunan, opening its beak and chirping excitedly.

"Gugu~"

A gentle smile appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face, and he said leisurely:

"I don't know how high to fly, you are too conspicuous like this."

"Gugu~"

Baige coquettishly cupped the side of Uchiha Tunan's face with her head.

Uchiha Tunan sensed the auras of several Jonin-level people and came to the outside of the orphanage for a moment, then retreated one after another.

He immediately said helplessly:

"If your destination hadn't been me, you would have been captured by the ANBU."

"Gugu~"

"I know everything. Your mission is completed and it's time to change your shift."

Immediately, through the secret technique of beast bite, White Pigeon was given a ray of celestial chakra.

"Gugu~"

After Bai Ge absorbed the Senjutsu chakra, his body lost some weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the light in his eyes was a little more exquisite.

Contentedly, he spread his wings and flew away from here.

Uchiha Tunan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and continued to secretly observe Naraku's movements using his newly mastered Kagura's mind.

Learning things on your own is troublesome.

Easy to learn, hard to master.

It takes practice to master it.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Tunan raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his head.

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "It's quite good."

After that, push the wheelchair back into the house and close the door.

After a few breaths, I saw that the floor in the center of the room was cracked, exposing the protruding soil below.

The soil poured into the room and gradually transformed into Naraku's appearance.

Uchiha Tunan tapped the armrest with his fingers and praised:

“You can accurately sense my position through the earth from such a long distance.

And used the earth clone to appear in front of me. It seems that your strength has improved again. "

I saw a flattering look on Naraku's face, walked up to Uchiha Tunan, knelt down quite naturally and said:

"It's the teacher who teaches well."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and shook his head:

"I didn't teach you this.

If you have anything to say, just say it. It's being hidden. "

Naraku smiled flatteringly, bowed, rubbed his hands and said carefully:

"Teacher, you also know that the daimyo will preside over all the merits and rewards after the war.

It's just that the disciple doesn't know much about the situation in Konoha, and is afraid of delaying the teacher's important event.

So I came here specifically to talk to you, teacher.

I just don’t know if the teacher has any instructions.

So that the disciples know what to do. "

Uchiha Tunan has always treated his subordinates regardless of their merits.

Because the human heart is the most fickle, but the results will not lie.

So Uchiha Usagi was very satisfied with Naraku's attitude.

It's not his flattering attitude, but when he faces this kind of thing that may be related to the interests of Uchiha Tunan.

I knew I had to ask Uchiha Tunan for his opinion first.

But seeing a gentle smile on the corner of Uchiha Tunan's mouth, he said leisurely:

"You don't have to worry about anything, just go through the motions when the time comes.

If someone says yes, you follow suit.

If someone says bad things, you just follow them.

I don't need you to exercise your decision-making authority in this situation.

In addition, I always pay attention to rules and have clear rewards and punishments.

You have helped me with my affairs in the past two years, and I will certainly not let you be wronged.

Everyone in Konoha has nothing to do with me.

You don't have to tie your hands and act based on other people's faces just because I'm here.

Whatever you do, do it. "
