None of us had the right

Shazo lay back down on the recliner and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

He sneered, "If every time Konoha encounters a problem, it's something the Third Hokage can't solve, but I can, then power will automatically be in my hands."

"Shisui, power doesn't just disappear on its own if I refuse it. When it reaches a certain point, the Konoha Ninja will drape the Fifth Hokage's haori over my clothes while I'm sleeping to keep warm."

Shisui Uchiha scratched his head. "----No, no way------"

Shazo chuckled, "Foolish Shisui."

"Think carefully, why did you come to me when you were in trouble in Konoha?"

Shisui Uchiha replied matter-of-factly, "Because Lord Shazo Zuo will definitely be able to solve the problem."

Shazo pressed further, "Why are you so sure I can solve the problem?"

Shisui Uchiha scratched his head. "Because Lord Shazo Zuo prevented the Uchiha Clan Massacre clan from being wiped out, and also killed the Kumogakure Envoy Delegation, thus resolving the threat of the last war in Kumogakure."

Shazo opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Just as I thought. After I resolved the Uchiha Clan Massacre and the threat from Kumogakure, you believed I could handle the new crisis, so it was only natural that you came to ask me for help."

"Haven't you noticed the problem yet?"

Shisui Uchiha looked completely bewildered and shook his head, saying, "No problem."

Shazo was almost driven to tears by Shisui Uchiha's stupidity. He gave an example, both amused and exasperated. "If I said, ' Shisui, come with me to defeat the Cloud Ninja,' you would follow me without hesitation, right?"

Shisui Uchiha immediately stood up and loudly replied, "Of course, I will follow in Shazo Zuo's footsteps and obey your orders."

Shazo laughed loudly, "Shisui, you, you carried out my orders without hesitation, and you still think I don't have any authority?"

Shisui Uchiha: "----"

Shazo asked again, "If it were any other Konoha Ninja, how many do you think would be willing to fight alongside me?"

Shisui Uchiha licked his lips and said with difficulty, "... Many Konoha Ninja will be willing to follow Shazo Natsume in battle."

Seeing that he finally understood the seriousness of the problem, Shazo no longer concealed his intentions and said, "If they are willing to obey my orders, then how much power do I wield? Isn't it no less than that of the Third Hokage?"

"The Third Hokage sees things much better than you do. In the past two years, whenever I've been on a mission, Hiruzen Sarutobi has imposed many restrictions on me and has been acting very anxious."

"On the contrary, when I'm lying at home, he not only doesn't scold me for it, but he also finds reasons to send me money so I can continue to lie in bed without worry."

"Only when I lie down can the Third Hokage feel at ease."

"He would also become very happy and relaxed because of this, and even have the leisure to go to the Ninja Academy to instill that twisted Will of Fire in the children."

Shazo sneered and retorted, "Why should I take the initiative to solve the problem?"

"Is it really a good thing for Konoha if I solve this problem before the Third Hokage does it again?"

Shisui Uchiha was speechless. After a long silence, he finally asked, "Are we just going to watch the Fourth Raikage around? Watch him seize the Land of Land of Fire's land? Watch him cause harm to Konoha?"

Shazo Zuo chuckled, "Shisui, you're just Ninja of Konoha, not the master of Konoha."

"Konoha now has an owner. It belongs to Hiruzen Sarutobi and his classmates, to their three clans, not to you, me, Hyūga, Aburame Clan, Nara Clan, Yamanaka Clan, Akimichi Clan, Inuzuka Clan any other Konoha Ninja."

"None of us are qualified to worry about Konoha, none of us are! Do you understand?"

"More importantly, you don't understand the meaning of 'If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper.' Without resolving the issue of identity, no matter what I do or what problems I solve, it will only cause more serious harm to the village in the end."

Shisui Uchiha seemed to have been hit on the head, and his anger was completely extinguished.

The Fourth Raikage was a familiar face. In 1947, when the Third Shinobi World War had not yet completely ended in Konoha, he began to constantly provoke and test them.

The Fourth Raikage's first attempt was defeated by Minato Namikaze, who had not yet ascended to the Hokage throne.

He and his brother Killer B were completely overwhelmed by Minato Namikaze alone; his inability to break through his defenses was his last act of stubbornness.

After Minato died on the Nine-Tails Night, the Fourth Raikage became restless, but was immediately ambushed by Orochimaru and Jiraiya, suffering another defeat. Orochimaru even stole one of the Eight-Tails ' Kakuzu.

Once Orochimaru became S-rank Rogue Ninja, the four Raikage sent Envoy Delegation to probe Konoha, and incidentally, to steal the Hyuga Clan's daughter, hoping to acquire her Byakugan for their own amusement.

Driven by her protective instincts, Hyuga Hiashi ruthlessness and killed the Cloud Ninja.

Because no one in Konoha could forcefully dissuade the Fourth Raikage from resigning, the Third Hokage could only force Hizashi Hyuga to give Kumogakure an explanation. The Fourth Raikage finally won a small victory.

Then came the Uchiha Clan Massacre. The Fourth Raikage directly dispatched Ninja Army to threaten them. The Third Hokage was forced into a corner by Shazo and had no choice but to grit his teeth and withstand the attack. Luck, he managed to force the Raikage, whose strength was unclear, to retreat.

However, three years have passed, Kumogakure has reached its limit in terms of development. It needs to expand its territory in the Land of Lightning through war to raise the upper limit of its own ninja village.

Moreover, the three years also made the Fourth Raikage realize that Shisui Uchiha and the mysterious Wood Release Ninja were simply incompatible with the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage was far more wary of these two Konoha Ninja than of himself as an enemy.

Since Konoha is riddled with internal conflicts, why bother with formalities? Let's go!

Thus, a war crisis that did not exist in history broke out. The Fourth Raikage even led the Cloud Village Cloud Ninja across the Land of Hot Water and set up camp directly on the land of the Land of Fire.

This time, he didn't choose to hide his whereabouts either, but made a public appearance and demanded that the Third Hokage come to the border of the Land of Fire to meet him.

The Fourth Raikage will discuss new peace terms with the Third Hokage on the land of the Land of Fire.

The Third Hokage still did not leave Konoha this time. He simply kept sending people to meet with the Fourth Raikage, hoping that he could clearly state the new conditions.

However, the Fourth Raikage did not meet with any of the envoys from Konoha.

He refused to see anyone, whether they were Konoha Ninja, famous merchants, or even nobles from the Land of Fire Land of Fire Capital.

Keeping his promise, the Fourth Raikage led the Cloud Ninja Army forward several kilometers each day, then re-established camp, putting increasing pressure on Konoha.

He was determined to talk to the Third Hokage outside Konoha, or else he would bring the Cloud Ninja to block the Konoha gates before they could talk.

The Third Hokage was greatly troubled by this.

However, in his frantic state of mind, he failed to notice the change in the mindset of the Konoha Ninja.
