It's been a long time.
The international students from Konoha finally set foot on the land of Konoha again.
"I haven't been back for a long time."
"The memory of living in Konoha seems like a lifetime ago."
"Why do I feel that Konoha is still the same, no change... even a little lifeless."
"Did something happen in the village?"
They passed through the gate of Konoha and came to the street. They looked at the extremely familiar scenes in front of them. Although they felt the joy of returning to their hometown, they still habitually compared the Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village in front of them one by one.
Then, they got an answer that made everyone extremely disappointed.
Even if we don't talk about the desperate economic gap, just the spirit shown by ordinary ninjas and villagers is not on the same level.
And because Uchiha Clan started public opinion building in Konoha in advance, this group of people was quickly noticed by interested people.
As it should be...
The news that this group of people had returned to Konoha immediately reached the ears of the Konoha ninja clan.
Konoha The big and small ninja clan instinctively began to be alert - this may be the beginning of a political Uzumaki!
Soon, Uchiha Clan took the lead in taking action.
They announced on Konoha as planned that Uchiha Clan has reached a cooperation with Akatsuki Ninja Village, and will gather all the students who participated in Akatsuki Ninja Village's study abroad to hold a meeting about "Akatsuki Ninja Village 0 Public Lecture "What Sees and Hears" is intended to consolidate the alliance relationship between Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village, learn from each other and develop experience... All ninjas and villagers of Konoha are welcome to participate.
The venue where Public Lecture is held is near Hokage Building.
Not only that, the Clan Elders of Uchiha also deliberately advertised to the outside world that they would let students from the Senju Clan give keynote speeches, and also sent an invitation to Tobirama Senju, hoping that he could attend this event in person and learn from Akatsuki Ninja Village's advanced development experience.
This kind of behavior is extremely harmful to Konoha and extremely insulting to Tobirama Senju!
Since the mainstream information dissemination method of Ninja World is still paper newspapers and periodicals, the distance between Akatsuki Ninja Village and Konoha is also nearly half of Land of Fire, which directly leads to a significant differentiation in the understanding of the external world among different groups within Konoha.
The senior executives of Konoha are naturally the most aware of how terrifying the gap between Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village is.
Konoha's Jonin often have to leave the village far away to perform high-level tasks and have access to more outside information. At present, many Jonins have gone to Akatsuki Ninja Village out of curiosity to find out. However, when they returned, they Nindo almost collapsed and looked gloomy.
Konoha's middle- and low-level ninjas are of low strength, and the tasks they perform rarely span more than half of Land of Fire. At most, they only perform tasks in a few big cities near Konoha.
The villagers of Konoha basically never leave the village, and their knowledge of the outside world is the most closed.
Moreover, for the sake of the stability of the village, Tobirama Senju also deliberately blocked a large part of Akatsuki Ninja Village's information within the village.
Especially those articles written by an unscrupulous media person about the comparison of the purchasing power of Akatsuki Ninja Village and Konoha. There is indeed a gap between Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village, but the gap can be one, one hundred, or even ten thousand.
But can Konoha citizens and middle- and low-level ninjas know the details of these things so clearly?
They are the base of Konoha. The bastards who are the base of enlightenment should be shot eight times in the back by Shuriken and commit suicide!
All in all.
Although the vast majority of Konoha citizens and a considerable number of Konoha Ninja know that Akatsuki Ninja Village has surpassed Konoha in development in recent years, due to the occlusion of information dissemination and the blockade of key information, there are still huge obstacles in their understanding of the true gap between the two sides.
And now Uchiha Clan is taking this opportunity to continue to break the cognitive gap between Konoha people and middle- and low-level ninjas about Akatsuki Ninja Village.
From the perspective of Konoha's long-term rule, this incident must be a terrible thing.
The elite ninjas of Konoha covet the prosperity of Akatsuki Ninja Village. However, due to their own status and the two big bosses at the head of Konoha, they cannot do anything excessive. However, if there is a suitable opportunity, they will definitely not mind jumping to Akatsuki Ninja Village midway. This is already very dangerous!
Now Uchiha Clan wants to destroy Konoha's high-quality assets!
If things continue like this...
Konoha's situation is really worrying.
But Uchiha Clan doesn't care... no... it should be that they haven't realized the horror of this matter yetO
Now Clan Elder of Uchiha are focusing all their energy on how to drive Tobirama Senju out of Hokage's Office, promote Uchiha Madara to the second generation Hokage Position, and let Uchiha Clan take sole control of the power of Konoha.
As for how to end Konoha after these things are done, they have not considered it at all.
Of course.
This also has a lot to do with their attitude towards Uchiha Makoto - Uchiha Makoto is an extremely reliable member of the Uchiha clan, so there is no need to worry that Akatsuki Ninja Village will be detrimental to Konoha!
And for Tobirama Senju.
It's so insulting.
Usually Uchiha Clan and Tobirama Senju compete in Meeting Room. Even if Tobirama Senju loses his temper for a moment, only a small number of people can see it.
But this time Uchiha is going to use the mouths of the Senju Clan clansmen to hit Tobirama Senju hard in the face in front of so many ninjas and villagers from Konoha, throw his face to the ground and trample him. In this case, what kind of face does Tobirama Senju have to continue to sit on Hokage's Office?
And the news about this Public Lecture spread very quickly in Konoha.
Only half a day has passed.
Konoha's streets and alleys already knew the news.
Akatsuki Ninja Village, Konoha Most of the villagers and low-level ninjas are very interested in this matter. With the mentality of the masses, they all think this will be a good opportunity to join in the fun.
As for Konoha's big and small ninja families, they are worried about the Uchiha Clan's actions this time and the situation of Konoha in the future.
Uchiha Clan wanted to use Akatsuki Ninja Village to attack Tobirama Senju's prestige and belittle Tobirama Senju's ability. Unexpectedly, he did it so cruelly this time. Uchiha Clan wanted to discredit Tobirama Senju in front of Konoha people and ninjas!
This is a conspiracy, a naked conspiracy!
Regardless of whether Senju Tobirama comes or not, in front of the Konoha public, he will be labeled as incompetent by the Uchiha clan!
"So, will Tobirama Senju agree to the Uchiha Clan's invitation?"
Konoha's big and small ninja families couldn't help but speculate like this.
If Tobirama Senju accepts Uchiha Clan's invitation, he will definitely be executed in public. Uchiha Clan will use the mouths of the Senju Clan tribe to treat Tobirama Senju made the most harsh criticism, so from the perspective of the Konoha ninja clan, it was absolutely a wise choice for Tobirama Senju to ignore Uchiha Clan's invitation.
But just in case, Tobirama Senju agreed.
That would be difficult to handle.
This is also what the Konoha Ninja clan is most worried about... If things go wrong, what will happen if a fight breaks out between the two parties?
Hokage's Office.
Tobirama Senju sat quietly on the chair. On the desk in front of him was an invitation letter that Uchiha Clan had just sent.
Before he could reply to the Uchiha Clan, die-hard supporters belonging to Tobirama Senju had already gathered around and knocked on Hokage's Office's door one after another.
Representatives of the Sarutobi Clan represented by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Clan represented by Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Clan represented by Mitokado Homura... Konoha Representatives of several medium-sized ninja clans and several small ninja clans are here.
Without exception, these people are all disciples of Tobirama Senju, and the families behind them have also been firmly tied to Tobirama Senju over the years.
Tobirama Senju raised his eyes and saw this group of people coming on their own initiative at this time. A gentle smile appeared on their cold faces, and he felt very relieved and happy in his heart.
Then, he snapped his fingers, and a masked Anbu Ninja jumped in, closed the door, and activated the barrier in the room, completely blocking the surrounding sounds.
"Teacher, Uchiha Clan is simply going too far. They just accused you in high-level meetings, but now they are so serious that they are ready to humiliate you in public. You must not participate in the so-called Public Lecture, and neither can the members of the Senju Clan clan!"
Everyone found a seat and sat down. The first person who couldn't help but speak was Shimura Danzō.
He is a loyal follower of Tobirama Senju. He keeps Tobirama Senju's kindness in mind. Even though he already knows about Akatsuki Ninja Village's prosperity, he still firmly believes in Tobirama Senju's ability. Sooner or later, the teacher will definitely lead Konoha to surpass Akatsuki Ninja Village!
Tobirama Senju nodded.
He likes the student Shimura Danzō very much. Although he was a little reckless when he was young and caused big troubles, after a few years of experience, he has not only become Jonin, but has also emerged in the Anbu team. With the accumulation of tasks, he has become the squad leader of Anbu. In time, he will be able to take on a big responsibility!
And Shimura Danzō is very loyal.
However, Tobirama Senju did not respond to Shimura Danzō's words, but looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Teacher, what Danzo said makes sense."
"However, I think the less you can let Uchiha Clan continue to occupy the right to speak in Konoha at this time, in this case, the situation will be even worse for you. After all, once you reject Uchiha Clan's invitation, no one will be able to stop Uchiha Clan in Public Lecture. That's nonsense, they will attack you unscrupulously, so teacher, I think you still have to participate, but you must ask Lord Hokage for help. If Lord Hokage can come forward, no matter how bold Uchiha Clan is, he will not be able to face you in front of Lord Hokage...
Obviously.
The opinions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō are completely opposite.
He did not agree with Shimura Danzō's idea of taking the initiative to give in. On the contrary, he unexpectedly hoped that Tobirama Senju would agree to the Uchiha Clan's invitation.
After all, if Tobirama Senju had not appeared at the scene, Uchiha Clan would have said whatever they wanted, they would have attacked you unscrupulously, and no one would have been able to stop them from talking nonsense.
And how can those ignorant villagers and low-level ninjas distinguish the authenticity of it, and how can they understand the hard work of Tobirama Senju in handling Konoha's official duties.
Shimura Danzō on the side suddenly showed annoyance, but because Hiruzen Sarutobi took the initiative to agree, the two parties did not immediately quarrel.
Tobirama Senju sees all this.
Shimura Danzō is indeed loyal, but in terms of ability... it is still far behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi not only knows how to watch people's actions and unite his teammates at a young age, but more importantly, now he understands the importance of the right to speak.
At the critical moment, if you don't speak and you choose to give in, you will only retreat one step at a time, and you will lose completely in the end. And Hiruzen Sarutobi is also very loyal!
He is a good seedling worth cultivating vigorously.
"I think what Danzo and Hiruzen said are very reasonable..."
"I think so too..."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi, there are Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and several representatives of small families.
They think what Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō say is quite reasonable.
As for my own opinion... just add one.
Tobirama Senju still had a smile on his face and nodded to them.
Just be loyal.
The most important thing is loyalty. Ability can be cultivated gradually, but loyalty is hard to find.
In the past, when he was Konoha Hokage Nine Thousand Years Old, Konoha's big and small ninja clans cheered for him and praised him as "One Pillar Holds Up Konoha Sky". But now the situation has changed, Akatsuki Ninja Village has suddenly emerged, and Konoha achieved overtaking in corners, so much so that Uchiha Clan relied on the power of Akatsuki Ninja Village to expand aggressively in Konoha. Even now, when facing Uchiha Clan, he was still at a disadvantage, and those people fell silent one by one.
Of course...Tobirama Senju can also understand the behavior of these ninjas.
After all, he is not the real Hokage now. The Konoha Reform Proposal he wants to promote has also touched the interests of their family. They chose to remain silent at this time and even switched to the Uchiha Clan. That is only human nature.
But this can clearly reveal the value of this group of students and the families behind them!
One day, if I can become Hokage, I will reuse it in the future!
"Teacher, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes, teacher, what are you going to do?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō... A group of them couldn't help but ask Tobirama Senju what they thought.
"Huh, of course I want to go!"
"Uchiha Clan is a group of Naturally Evil families. Their existence will only harm Konoha. They blindly pursue power and will Akatsuki Ninja Village has been held in high esteem and has completely forgotten Konoha's position. You must be careful and vigilant against them. You must not let them get into Konoha's senior management and take over the power of Konoha."
"Otherwise, sooner or later, Konoha will fall apart because of them, and Akatsuki Ninja Village... I will never let them succeed!"
Tobirama Senju is no longer installed at this time.
The group of people in front of him are all his loyal confidants.
There was no need to pretend to be a uniter at this time, he was yelling at the Uchiha Clan wantonly.
