CH 183
Three days later.
Land of Fire, Konoha.
Hyūga Clan.
Hyūga Clan’s Clan Head, Hyūga Hirofumi looked gloomily at the information in his hand.
This information came from a small branch along the southeast coast:
Three days ago, Hyūga Kiku lost contact with the branch, two days ago, seven clansmen lost contact, and yesterday, the number of missing clan members reached 36 people…
After reading the information, Hirofumi realized that the situation was not good, and was about to go to Great Elder, his father Hyūga Nobuyuki, to discuss this matter. But unexpectedly, people from Anbu suddenly appeared!
Hyūga Hirofumi had to go to Hokage Tower, and when he arrived at Hiruzen’s office, he found that Uchiha Clan’s Clan Head, Uchiha Tengoku had arrived.
In addition, there are three Hokage’s advisors: Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
The atmosphere in the office is somewhat depressing.
Hiruzen was smoking from his pipe, and his expression behind the smoke is gloomy and uncertain.
“Everyone is here.” Tengoku lowered his eyes and said. “I believed that Kirigakure is not just a small trouble this time, Sandaime-sama, what is the village going to do?”
“Tengoku, defending the coastal area and scaring Kirigakure, this is the mission that the village has entrusted to you, Uchiha Clan and Hyūga Clan!”
Koharu said with a black face “So, the village should be the one asking you about this, now that Kirigakure’s Shinobi is attacking, what are you two clans going to do?!”
Tengoku’s expression remained unchanged, and his head slightly looked towards Hirofumi.
Hirofumi then said after pondering: “Hokage-sama, three advisors, I just received information that thirty-six members of my Hyūga Clan’s Branch House are missing, but strangely, there is no mention in the information about Kirigakure’s Shinobi’s information, so I concluded… this time, Kirigakure’s Shinobi is definitely using their full force, and there must be a very powerful Shinobi among the attacker! How can we resist those Shinobi with our two clans alone?”
“It’s already difficult for the village to get more Shinobi. The two Clan Heads should already know this.”
Danzō said in a condensed voice, “The war with Sunagakure will not be over in a short time, and we can’t transfer Shinobi from the defensive lines of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, so I ask the two Clan Heads to understand the difficulties of the village.”
“Recently, a large number of scattered Kirigakure’s Shinobi have been lurking in various places to create chaos, and the village has dispatched a lot of Shinobi to deal with these guys ……”
Hirofumi then said slowly, the meaning is self-evident.
“Most of these ninjas are Genin and Chunin. For your two clans, they shouldn’t be able to help, right?”
Danzō squinted his one eye, then suddenly turned to look at Hiruzen, and said with a smile, “But since you have spoken, I don’t think Sandaime will refuse, right, Hiruzen?”
“Yes, I can assign these people to you two clans.”
Hiruzen put down his pipe and said slowly, “Moreover, the village will do its best to protect your logistics and supplies, and it will never affect the frontline!”
""
“Then, I’m relieved.” Hirofumi slowly nodded.
“Then, do you have any more requests? Uchiha’s Clan Head!” Homura was sitting calmly, but his eyes squinted at Tengoku. “Please just say it!”
Tengoku’s expressionless face suddenly showed a faint smile, and he said softly but firmly: “No, our Uchiha Clan has no requirements!”
Hiruzen, Koharu, Homura’s faces changed slightly when they heard this.
As for Danzō, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
‘No requirement is the biggest requirement!’
When this war is over, if the Uchiha Clan seeks more power and voice by relying on their contribution on the battlefield, what will Hiruzen do?
If he denied them, he will definitely receive a huge backlash.
For example, public opinion!
All civilians in the village will think that the Uchiha Clan participated on the battlefield without any requirements, and sacrifices so many clansmen to protect the village. But the result, they didn’t even get the power and voice after doing all that. For Sandaime to stop them by rejecting them and guarding against them, this… doesn’t make sense, right?
But if he didn’t stop it, it is not in line with Hiruzen’s character.
It’s just that all of this would only happen after the war, and the most urgent matter now is to resist the Kirigakure’s Shinobi!
“Then, I’ll leave the Kirigakure’s Shinobi to you!”
Hiruzen took a deep breath and said, “Please protect this country and this village!”
Hirofumi and Tengoku solemnly responded, and then left Hokage Tpower.
“Hiruzen, now you have seen the Uchiha Clan’s ambitions, you have to be more careful about this matter!”
Koharu left a word and left with Homura.
As for Danzō, he sat at the end with a smile, then he stood up, shook his head and left with a sigh.
Hiruzen stared at Danzō’s back with a smile that was not a smile.
……
Soon, Hiruzen is the only one left in the huge office.
He was sitting behind his desk, the smoke filled the air, and his thoughts fluttered.
He is not thinking about how to deal with the situation in the Shinobi World, but about the situation Konoha will face after the war is over!
‘The Hyūga Clan does not have the cohesion of competing with the Hokage’s line!’
‘Tengoku is already old. So, if I guessed correctly, the one called Uchiha Fugaku should be his successor, and he will also be the candidate for the Yondaime Hokage’s position… right?’
‘As for Danzō, this guy who I grew up together since childhood, is coveting the Hokage’s Position, but with his current situation, the biggest possibility is to push someone out to compete for the Hokage’s Position, attracting the attention of the others. That other person …… who is it?’
Hiruzen slowly put down his pipe: ‘It seems that I also have to choose a successor!’
‘Tsunade?’
‘As the granddaughter of Shodaime-sama, whether it is reputation, prestige, or strength, she is enough to serve as Yondaime Hokage!’
‘Unfortunately, with her blood phobia, and gambling addict… I can’t afford it.’
‘Jiraiya?’
Hiruzen suddenly got a headache.
‘This guy is actually pretty good, but in terms of character…’ Hiruzen then imagined Jiraiya wearing the Yondaime Hokage’s robe, hiding in the women’s bathroom, standing on tiptoes, and peeping at the scenes of women taking a bath.
‘Rejected…’
‘Orochimaru……’
Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction when he recalled this figure.
""
Among the Sannin, his favorite is Orochimaru. After all, he is powerful enough to suppress the noble clan, he has calm and persistent character, love for companions and the villages, plus his civilian background, there is no intricate interest relationship behind him. He is well-deserved best successor!
The most important thing is that Orochimaru was taught by Hiruzen himself, and has definitely understood and inherited the Will of Fire from his teacher!
The more Hiruzen thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and he wished that Orochimaru would directly inherit the Yondaime Hokage’s position, but at this moment, Jiraiya’s voice suddenly came from outside the office.
Hiruzen frowned, and called him in in dissatisfaction.
Then, after the door opened, he discovered that Minato was also coming.
“Jiraiya, Minato, why are you here together?” Hiruzen stood up and opened the window to let the fresh air blow away the choking smoke in the room.
“This time, I came here for the Flying Thunder God Technique’s notes left by Nidaime-sama!”
Jiraiya said proudly, “Old man, just cut the chit-chat, and give me all the Flying Thunder God Technique’s notes left by Nidaime-sama’s research.”
Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya, then set his eyes on Minato.
“Minato, haven’t you already mastered Flying Thunder God Technique, why do you still…”
Upon saying that, Hiruzen’s pupils suddenly shrank, “Dont tell me…. … Are you planning to …”
‘Further develop the Flying Thunder God Technique?!’
‘Even if the others are given one hundred years to learn, they still can’t learn Flying Thunder God Technique, but now, you want to develop it further?’
Land of Fire, Konoha.
Hyūga Clan.
Hyūga Clan’s Clan Head, Hyūga Hirofumi looked gloomily at the information in his hand.
