Chapter 114 The Truth Is Not Important, What Matters Is Whether You Believe It or Not (Update 1)
January 6, morning.
Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was sitting behind a desk full of documents, reviewing documents.
These documents involve a lot of content, but except for important documents, general documents do not require you to do everything in detail. You only need to give a general attitude, and the people below will know what to do.
However, several important documents at the beginning of the year made the third generation's mood much better. When the last document was processed, the third generation Hokage's face became obviously more solemn.
The previous documents dealt with the number of tasks received by Konoha last year, as well as the task completion rate and feedback from the clients. The number of tasks Konoha received last year increased steadily.
Especially after completing the Tang Country mission, there are more high-level and high-reward missions.
In addition, there is intelligence feedback from the eastern, northern, northwest, and western borders of the Land of Fire. Iwagakure in the northwest seems to be very peaceful this year, and nothing has happened.
The sand ninja village in the west has already formed an alliance with Konoha and only needs to be properly defended.
On the other hand, Kumogakure in the north was a serious threat. Fortunately, Jiraiya stayed in the north all year round and always served as a deterrent to Kumokakure. This prevented Kumogakure from acting rashly. However, Kumogakure has never been sincere in negotiating peace, and the hidden danger of war still exists. , this is a headache.
In recent years, the Country of Fire has also been actively communicating with the Country of Thunder, and the relationship between the two parties has also eased. As long as the daimyo of the two countries are determined to form an alliance, it will inevitably affect the attitude of Yunyin Village.
If Kumogakure really insists on going his own way and starts a war with Konoha, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder will inevitably shake Kumogakure's determination to continue fighting financially, and the war will not last long even if it starts.
The eastern border is garrisoned by an elite team sent by the Uchiha clan. They are very efficient and have caused Kirigakure Village to suffer a lot. It has become much more peaceful recently.
I heard that Uchiha Shisui was making a splash in the East and killed two jounin in a small battle with Kirigakure.
At only 12 years old, he has gained a famous reputation as "Shun Shui Shui".
Seeing the genius of his village becoming famous in the ninja world, the third generation felt very good.
However, the last document sent by Kumogakure changed his mood.
"Kumogakure sent a team of genin to Konoha to request to take the chuunin exam? The Fourth Raikage, what do you want to do?"
The Sandaime held the document in his hand with a solemn look on his face. Kumogakure was not willing to negotiate peace with Konoha, but he actually sent someone to take part in Konoha's chunin selection exam next month. Was it a conspiracy, or was it a sign of sincerity in the peace talks?
Ta da...
Just as Sandai was lowering his head in thought, a familiar footsteps came from outside the office door.
Immediately afterwards, the interior of the office was pushed open.
Before he even looked up, Sandai knew who it was, because there were only a few people who entered his office without knocking, and they came alone.
"Hiruzen."
"Danzo."
The third generation frowned slightly. Danzo usually wouldn't come to him for trivial matters, especially to his office.
"Hiruzen, what's your attitude towards Kumogakure?" Danzo said straight to the point. Apparently Danzo also got a copy of some information, even earlier than the Third Generation.
The Third Hokage was accustomed to this and said calmly: "Let them take the Chunin Exam."
"I will keep an eye on them for you." Danzo has obviously guessed the attitude of the third generation. Although he is a staunch fighter, the situation is not with him now. If Yunyin Village does not do anything extraordinary, Konoha obviously does not It will be as he wishes.
And based on Danzo's understanding of the Third Hokage, even if Kumogakure did do something outrageous, it would most likely be suppressed by the Third Hokage's "weak" character.
Danzo didn't want to get too involved in this topic, and it wasn't the main purpose of his visit today.
Thinking of this, Danzo grimaced and said, "The Uchiha clan is getting more and more excessive."
Hearing this, the third generation frowned and sighed: "The Uchiha clan are former comrades-in-arms. I don't want any bloodshed to occur between the two sides, so we should continue to negotiate.
Just keep monitoring Uchiha. Danzo, withdraw your ANBU. Such obvious actions are too irritating to Uchiha's nerves. "
In response, Danzo snorted: "Hmph! Hiruzen, you are too naive! I just want to suppress the Uchiha's arrogance and let them know the majesty of the village.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan has been in the limelight recently, which has further fueled their arrogance.
If they are not suppressed at this time, they will develop a mentality of going against the village and even rebelling.
Uchiha Shisui has such strength at the age of 12. It's no wonder that the Uchiha clan has thoughts that they shouldn't have.
There is also Uchiha Itachi, whose talent is no less than that of Uchiha Shisui.
If you don't suppress Uchiha so much that they can't turn over, do you think you can still suppress them from behind? "
"You clearly know the character of the clan, why can't the two sides sit down and have a good talk? If this continues..." Sandai sighed.
Danzo's face darkened, "I just firmly maintain the teacher's policy towards Uchiha. Once the Uchiha know that the village's attitude has softened, they will only go further and become more arrogant and domineering."
"But when Minato was still alive, the attitude of the Uchiha clan had obviously changed. If..."
"Then what!? The Yondaime is dead, and the people who control the Kyuubi are the Uchiha clan. Do you think they will surrender?"
Before the Third Hokage finished speaking, he was interrupted by Danzo.
"We are just suspicious. Without definite evidence, we cannot be sure whether it was done by the Uchiha clan."
"Can you pretend not to see such an obvious Sharingan?"
This time, the third generation was speechless after being refuted by Danzo.
Yes, the Sharingan Magatama was so obvious in the eyes of the Nine-Tails, and he naturally saw it clearly.
And the pupil power that can control the Nine-Tails can only be a member of the Uchiha clan, not some outsider who got the Sharingan and used it to such an extent.
Danzo continued: "The surveillance and suppression of the Uchiha can only be strengthened, and vigilance cannot be relaxed. We must always be on guard against them."
Only when it comes to dealing with the Uchiha clan, Danzo feels that he can firmly defeat the third generation.
No matter how the third generation says that he believes in his companions and believes in the Uchiha clan, he still doubts and fears the Uchiha clan in his heart.
Sometimes the truth is not important, what is important is whether to believe or not.
Obviously, the third generation does not believe in the Uchiha clan.
It is precisely because of his understanding of the Third Generation that Danzo is so determined. Many of his plans must be carried out according to the plan. The power of the Uchiha clan must be controlled in his hands, so targeting is inevitable.
Only by alienating the Uchiha from the village and isolating the Uchiha from the village and the major families can the goal be achieved. Anyway, he did not wrongly accuse the Uchiha, so he just went with the flow.
Regarding Danzo's attitude, the Third Generation opened his mouth, but in the end did not raise any objections.
