It was a month after Tsunade received the news that Cloud Village was suspected of being harassed by Two-Tails from an LSP who had been traveling abroad.
In April of spring, the earth revives and everything is renewed.
The cherry blossoms outside Hokage's office's window were falling in twos and threes with the breeze. Standing in front of Tsunade, Shikaku Nara, who got the news from Tsunade's mouth, also tried not to snicker.
As a royal think tank, expression management is a required course.
Shikaku Nara, who had been thinking about how to express his inner joy for a long time and finally found a good way to say it, looked at the cherry blossoms falling outside the window and sighed softly as if he was relieved.
"It seems that Konoha's harsh winter has passed."
It not only fits the scene at this time, but also implies that Konoha has survived a disaster. Even Tsunade couldn't help but praise this newly promoted think tank in his heart for his ability to speak.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Tsunade put down the information Jiraiya sent with Ninja, crossed his hands on his chin, raised his eyes and glanced at Shikaku, his gaze like a torch.
"There is another secret I want to tell you today that even the old man Third Hokage and the top consultants don't know."
Hearing the sound, Shikaku was stunned. Lord Hokage actually wanted to tell him a top secret that even the top management of Konoha didn't know about?!
What does this mean? Does this mean that Lord Hokage really regards himself as one of his own? Word, does this new Lord Hokage trust me so much?!
Shikaku, who was flattered, also hurriedly said that Lord Hokage did not need to be polite, and that his barely functional head existed just for Hokage and Konoha!
"Kakashi, Shisui, you two come in."
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Kakashi, who had officially become a member of Anbu directly under Hokage, and Uchiha Shisui, who was not directly under Hokage but Anbu, walked in.
"Lord Hokage."×2
Both of them were very respectful towards Tsunade. Especially Shisui, has great expectations for the newly appointed Hokage, and firmly believes that this new Lord Hokage, who is different from Third Hokage's indecisiveness and unquestionably strong, will change Uchiha!
"Has the Signal Department finished deciphering the ruins?" Tsunade got straight to the point.
"Hi! I've finished deciphering everything."
Kakashi stood up and took two steps forward and came to Tsunade. He lowered his head and handed out the scroll in his hands.
Tsunade, who had read the scroll, frowned more and more until he saw the end of the scroll and suddenly held his forehead and sighed.
"Is that really the case..."
"What's wrong? Lady Tsunade?" Shikaku asked quickly, what kind of thinker would he be if he couldn't help Hokage immediately?
"Although it's only part of it, you should take a look, Shisui, Kakashi, you two too. After all, Shisui found the ruins, and Kakashi, you are the one who has seen him."
These people were a little confused, but they still followed Tsunade's orders and took them one by one and read the text on the scroll, which was not too long.
There is not much content on the scroll, but a few words are very intriguing, such as "Spit on All the World's Evil", "Praise the goodness of mankind", "Mankind is redeemed", and "Angora Mainyu".
To sum it up simply, it seems to suggest that humans should spurn the evil called Angra Mainyu and praise the goodness of humans so that humans can be saved.
"Is this the teachings of a certain religion?"
Shikaku, whose mind was spinning the fastest, immediately came up with this conclusion. After all, judging from these words, he could only think of this possibility.
"Well, that's right. In the ancient times, when Six Paths Sage was not born, it was a religion that existed about six thousand years ago and is now extinct."
"Six thousand years ago when Six Paths Sage was not even born?" Shikaku was shocked, but then he also caught a certain word in Tsunade's words, "But it has died, then we..."
"This religion has indeed died out, but some of their relics, which have saved all mankind more than once, have been revived in this era."
"Have you ever saved all mankind? More than once?" Shikaku felt that his mind was a little confused. What this Lord Hokage said was really too weird.
Looking at the confused three people, Tsunade sighed again and said, "Forget it, I predict that other ruins will appear sooner or later, and this kind of thing will be discovered sooner or later, so I will tell you for now."
In the following time, Tsunade combined his dream, which might have been caused by some connection, with the story he heard from the blue-haired young man, and completely told the story of All the World's Evil Angra Mainyu to the three of them.
After listening, all three of them felt like they wanted to complain but didn't know how.
Could it still be played like this in ancient times? Can you still save the world in this way? Save the world by spurning the evil of mankind and praising the truth, goodness and beauty of mankind?
"I know it sounds incredible, but this is most likely true. If you want to ask why, the All the World's Evil and Angra Mainyu who were forced to bear the evil of everyone in the world have been born..."
"What?!"×3
The three of them widened their eyes at the same time and stared at Tsunade with a solemn expression.
Fugaku Uchiha, a middle-aged man who is currently the patriarch of Uchiha and one of the current consultants of Hokage, stands in the forest behind Konoha Orphanage, holding his hands in the dark and looking at the three children who are training together not far away with his paralyzed face.
One of them is his genius son, and the other two are the two brats of Konoha Orphanage. The one with short gray-green hair is the brat who made arrogant remarks at the inauguration ceremony of Hokage. The one with glasses only knows his name as Kabuto Yakushi.
But these things are not important anymore.
A month ago, Fugaku, who was appointed by the new Hokage as a member of the Hokage advisory group, really couldn't believe it when he heard about this appointment.
Hokage Consultant, that is the highest level in this village!
That is a position that Uchiha, who has never been trusted by the village's senior officials, has no chance to touch!
As far as I know, the only one who can establish a relationship or even have a good relationship with a consultant is the former Kagami Uchiha.
But the new Lord Hokage overcame all objections and directly gave himself such a high position!
Fugaku was so excited and ecstatic inside!
Although the head of the Hyuga Clan was also promoted at the same time, Fugaku, who knew that this was a kind of check and balance, did not care about such a trivial matter.
The newly appointed Lord Hokage not only agreed to Uchiha's request not to change his clan area, but also allowed himself to enter the highest decision-making level of Konoha.
What's this? This means that after this update, Konoha has begun to accept Uchiha's phalanx from rejection!
Fugaku was excited, this would definitely silence the mouths of those radical tribesmen!
But before the excitement was over, Fugaku was dumbfounded on the first day when he went to Hokage Building to report with his head held high and tidied up under the welcome of the whole clan.
What about the Hokage consultant who was promised to have decision-making power in handling Konoha government affairs?
Why are there only the right to know and the right to propose?
Fugaku, who had been working for a whole day, finally understood the strength of the new Hokage. This Lord Hokage took away all the power of the consultant as soon as he took office!
Completely different from the previous little sun Fourth Hokage and the indecisive good old man Third Hokage!
Even Anbu, who was directly subordinate to Third Hokage, was disbanded by him. Some of them became ordinary ninjas, and the other part were filled in Anbu, who was directly subordinate to Hokage.
She also asked Third Hokage to go back and retire. The retired Third Hokage couldn't even get a consultant position. I heard that he only had a casual job. Now his daily job is watering flowers.
The two veteran consultants were also forced to hand over all their power, retaining only the right to know and make suggestions.
She gets everything done!
Hokage Building has now become the voice of Hokage! To put it bluntly, all decision-making power is firmly in the hands of Hokage!
Fugaku admires the iron hand of the new Hokage, but he is also a little emotional about such changes. After all, he originally wanted to be Hokage's consultant, who could give guidance and even have decision-making and veto power!
Unexpectedly, my job was just to provide advice with several consultants, help Hokage analyze the actual facts, and help Hokage distribute tasks to the ninjas.
Of course, having this name is a good thing, it has indeed blocked the mouths of many radical Uchiha.
And after a month, I can also see that although it is Hokage who speaks out, this Hokage will still seriously consider the suggestions and opinions given by the consultants.
Especially in some meetings, this Lady Tsunade always lets himself talk about his views and opinions. This... maybe it's enough.
"Uchiha is Uchiha of Konoha."
This is what Tsunade said after patting himself on the shoulder after a meeting a few days ago. He also understood that she was putting pressure on him.
It means that Konoha (Hokage) is willing to trust Uchiha and is willing to have a good relationship with Uchiha, but as the leader of your clan, you can handle the troubles in your clan yourself.
Whether you can suppress some rebellious voices within the clan is not Hokage's business, it is the responsibility of you, the clan leader. I (Hokage) has already helped you, so the rest is your business.
Fugaku, who understands what Hokage means and understands that the other party has indeed done his best, has also made up his mind in recent days to take the time to have a good chat with those in Uchiha who still have good voices (the rebellious tone has not diminished).
Seeing Itachi who sprained his leg during training, Aiko was eager and Fugaku subconsciously revealed his figure.
But before he could get closer, he saw that the boy wearing glasses used Medical Ninjutsu to treat his son with a look of disgust!
Konoha really has so many geniuses...
Fugaku also sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you, Kabuto." Itachi, who felt that his injuries had fully recovered, also expressed his sincere thanks from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmph! You're welcome!"
Kabuto, whose tsundere nature was just beginning to show, stopped his hand, snorted and turned away, "If my little brother doesn't hate you, I wouldn't care about you!"
"Dad!"
After spotting Fugaku walking slowly, Itachi shouted with excitement, his father is now Uchiha Clan's pride and hope!
After all, he works at Hokage Building!
"Is the work over?"
"Yeah." Fugaku nodded slightly in response, and then glanced at Kabuto and Chloe, "If you want to take friends to play at home, just say hello to your mother or me in advance."
Hearing the sound, Itachi's eyes also showed a bit of surprise, and he nodded heavily.
"Yeah!"
Of course, the happiest person is actually not Itachi but Chloe. It took so long to build a good relationship with this Uchiha Clan brat. It was indeed true. I would soon be able to see the reincarnation of my eldest nephew!
Nephew, I really miss you!
