"No, no, no, senior, you have misunderstood. Junior, I did not mean this. Please listen to me carefully."
Within Konoha, Hokage Office.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Uchiha Clan Head's expression, he immediately knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.
"Misunderstanding? What does the third generation mean? I am getting older and my energy is not as good as when I was young, so don't waste your time, third generation. Just say it straight." Uchiha Clan Head said with a frown.
In other words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude really doesn't seem like a provocation to the Uchiha Clan.
"Haha, senior's temper hasn't changed at all. Well, if that's the case, then junior will just tell the truth.
Uchiha is Uchiha of Konoha, I think you agree with this, senior?" Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and asked immediately.
"Of course, I Uchiha Clan and Senju of the Forest jointly established Konoha, and Uchiha is of course Uchiha of Konoha.
It's a pity that since that person left Konoha, I, Uchiha, have been controversial.
Especially after the second generation Tobirama Senju came to power, they were even more wary of us.
Nowadays, except for one Konoha Military Police Force, there is no one from our Uchiha clan among the top leaders...
No, no, there was one before, but he was assassinated. Until now, Sandai, you still haven't given me an explanation Uchiha Clan."
Speaking of this, Uchiha Clan Head snorted coldly, and then continued, "Just in time, the third generation just said that Uchiha is Konoha's Uchiha, so I would like to ask, does the village regard us Uchiha Clan as one of its own?
In terms of strength, now that Senju of the Forest has retired, I, Uchiha Clan, am stronger than all Konoha. If the third generation of you senior executives do not need Uchiha Clan to contribute, it is best to inform me in advance, and I can leave Konoha with the Uchiha Clan.
But if the village needs Uchiha's contribution, then please give Uchiha Clan the treatment he deserves!"
Now that things have happened, Uchiha Clan Head has directly shown off his cards, making the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village clear.
Moreover, Uchiha Clan is now more powerful than Madara Uchiha when he was the clan leader. Therefore, he has the confidence to say this directly.
In the original work of Hokage, when the plot begins, Uchiha Clan's strength has been consumed too much in two consecutive battles with Shinobi World, and the overall strength is no longer comparable to the power controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi and other high-level officials.
Therefore, at that time, even though Danzo threatened Uchiha Clan many times and even had plans to destroy Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Clan could only lead to death.
Finally, Uchiha Itachi, a top-notch filial son, appeared, and cooperated with Uchiha Obito, a lunatic. The two of them cooperated internally and externally, and directly killed Uchiha Clan until only Uchiha Sasuke, a fool, remained.
Getting back to the topic, facing Uchiha Clan Head's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, it's not that I don't want to give you the treatment that Uchiha Clan deserves. It's really the things that the person you mentioned did that the whole Konoha can't accept.
The great First Hokage and Second Hokage died one after another because of that man. If such behavior happened in other hidden villages, do you think there would still be Uchiha Clan now?
On the contrary, Uchiha Clan is still Konoha's number one wealthy family, its overall strength ranks first among all Konoha, and from Second Hokage After taking the position, Uchiha Clan also deliberately allowed Konoha Military Police Force to have an independent law enforcement department with no less power than Anbu, who was directly subordinate to Hokage.
Therefore, if this cannot satisfy Uchiha Clan, then I don't know what else to say!"
After the words fell, Uchiha Clan Head's expression suddenly changed. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi did not say any threatening words and was just presenting facts and reasoning, he knew very well that although the Third Hokage in front of him was not as good as First and the second generation, he was not weak and could be bullied.
"What this guy said is correct. He is wrong all the time, but this guy Madara Uchiha still has to be blamed.
Moreover, Konoha is now very powerful. Even if losing Uchiha will damage Konoha's overall strength, it is not an unacceptable loss.
Nowadays, a balance needs to be maintained between Uchiha and the village. Once the balance is broken, it may be a disaster for the village and Uchiha!
In addition, if this kid Hiruzen Sarutobi is really pushed into a corner, once he makes up his mind and gathers the strength of the village, Uchiha won't be able to get any favors from him!"
After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Clan Head also made some calculations.
After a while, he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, staring at him with deep eyes, and after a while he said, "That's it, I agree with what you said, Sandai.
I only have one request, what happened to Senju of the Forest cannot happen to Uchiha, otherwise, even if the whole Uchiha family is destroyed, I will make you pay the price!"
"Senior, you are serious. The matter of Senju of the Forest was approved by Lady Mito, and the opinions of all Senju of the Forest clan members were also solicited. Only then did Senju of the Forest remain anonymous and actively integrate into Konoha.
And since Uchiha is not willing, we will naturally not force it. Moreover, Uchiha is the number one wealthy family in Konoha, and your strength is indispensable to the village.
Therefore, this junior can assure you that nothing like what happened to the Senju Clan will never happen to the Uchiha Clan." Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that the other party had laid out his bottom line and immediately agreed without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, Uchiha wants to be treated like Senju Clan in the forest, is it possible?
Even if he agrees, others will not agree. Also, now that Shinobi World is undercurrent, Uchiha Clan still needs to contribute!
"Okay, I have written down what Sandai said.
In this case, I will take a step back. Regarding the ninjutsu scroll taken away by Taketori Lord Takenaka, the third generation only needs to make Uchiha look good, and I will not care about the rest." Uchiha Clan Head nodded and said.
"Haha, senior has great righteousness, and junior has taken note of it, but don't worry, junior will try to collect as many ninjutsu scrolls as possible and return them to the Uchiha Clan, and won't make it difficult for senior."
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and immediately expressed his attitude.
Then, he threw an olive branch and said, "By the way, what the senior just said, after thinking about it, the junior still thinks it makes sense.
Let's do this, since the senior has proposed it, the junior will make the decision and give Uchiha Clan two Anbu member quotas. Whenever the senior feels it is suitable, he will send them directly, and the junior will let him join Anbu unconditionally.
If one day, with the efforts of the juniors, Uchiha Clan is accepted by Konoha major ninja clans, then even if it is the position of Hokage, people from the Uchiha Clan will not be unable to do it.
Of course, seniors also know that this takes time and cannot be solved in a day or two. This requires joint efforts between the village and Uchiha Clan to achieve it!"
"Really?" When Uchiha Clan Head heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
If it is true, as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, that one day Uchiha Clan people can become Hokage, then all the difficulties of the Uchiha Clan can be easily solved.
"Hahaha, of course it's true!" Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and said with great certainty.
"Okay, Hokage's words are very popular with me. Since Hokage has said so, I also want to express my opinion. Uchiha Clan can be dispatched to Hokage as long as he is in need!" Uchiha Clan Head nodded excitedly and said.
"Hahaha, okay, if you really need it, I won't be polite to you."
Ten minutes later, Uchiha Clan Head left Hokage Office happily. However, as soon as he closed the office door, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
And similarly, the moment the office door closed, the smile on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face disappeared, replaced by a very cold chill.
"Finally, this old fox has been fooled. As long as we operate it properly, Black Zetsu, that bastard's request can be fulfilled.
I just don't know what impact this will have on Konoha's future!" Hiruzen Sarutobi thought in his heart.
After a while, his thoughts shifted to Takenaka Kaguya, and then he thought in his mind, "Takenaka Kaguya is too strong, Konoha must also have a strong person who can compete with him, otherwise he will always be controlled by him."
On the other side, while Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking hard, Konoha arranged for Uzushiogakure in the yard.
Looking at the three Uzushiogakure Genin, Takenaka Kaguya and Mingyue Takenaka who had woken up and were recovering Chakra, they looked at each other and silently retreated.
A moment later, in the yard.
"Father, you should have noticed something strange about that Dan Katō, right?" Mingyue Takenaka asked in a low voice.
"Well, I just didn't see it with my own eyes, so I have no way of knowing what happened to that child!" Takenaka Kaguya nodded.
Although he could see something was wrong with Dan Katō through the screen, he could not directly determine how Dan Katō was controlled.
On the side, Mingyue Takenaka also frowned and said, "Father, I think the focus now is not what happened to Dan Katō, but what kind of attitude Konoha will have to deal with this matter.
Moreover, Dan Katō is under control and wants to take action against Genin in our village. Did this incident come from Konoha, or did Konoha mix into Ninja from other hidden villages and want to use this incident to sow discord between us and Konoha?
If it was Konoha, then we need to consider whether it is necessary for Konoha to continue the alliance between our village and them!
If not, who would want to sow discord between us and Konoha?"
After the words fell, Takenaka Kaguya laughed, reached out and rubbed Mingyue Takenaka's head, and praised, "It seems Mingyue you think more about being a father!"
"Father has received the award. This is obvious." Mingyue Takenaka said modestly.
Although she was very happy to be praised by her father, in her opinion, this matter was not really that simple!
However, when she looked into her father's calm eyes, as if he wouldn't be worried even if the sky fell, Mingyue Takenaka's worries gradually dissipated.
At this time, Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile, "Mingyue, this matter may not be as serious as you think, and it's not the time for us to worry now, is it?
Compared to your worries, I think Konoha will be more anxious to know than us!"
"Hee hee, with you here, father, Konoha naturally doesn't dare to act like nothing happened." Mingyue Takenaka smiled and felt much more relaxed instantly.
After that, the father and daughter did not mention this matter again, but talked about other things.
As for this matter, it was not until the end of the second game Chunin Ninja Exams that Konoha's two consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, came forward and brought the heads of three Root Headquarters Jonin as an explanation.
At this moment, looking at the three heads in front of him, Takenaka Kaguya frowned and looked at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura and asked, "Is this what you Konoha told me?"
"Lord Takenaka, according to our investigation, these three people were ordered to take action against the child Dan Katō, and used secret techniques to control him, so as to take action against Uzushiogakure Genin.
In addition, if Lord Takenaka you are not satisfied with the result, you can also put forward your request. If it can be met, we Konoha will do our best to satisfy it.
I just hope Lord Takenaka that you can look at the alliance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure for so many years and expose this matter so as not to affect the friendly alliance between the two villages!" When Mitokado Homura heard this, he knew that Takenaka Kaguya was not satisfied, so he said hurriedly.
On the side, Utatane Koharu also quickly echoed, "Yes, Lord Takenaka, Yan is right, this matter is actually a problem on our Konoha side, so it must be us, Konoha, who should bear this responsibility.
We at Konoha also want to solve this problem with very sincerity and hope that the alliance between the two villages will not be affected.
If Lord Takenaka you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it directly, no matter what, we will try our best to satisfy you!"
"Huh, that sounds nice!"
Takenaka Kaguya snorted coldly after hearing what the two of them said, and then he continued, "In this matter, I don't see any sincerity from you Konoha.
Where did you find three human heads with damaged brains? Does that count as an explanation to us?
Also, Hiruzen Sarutobi, if something like this happened, you Third Hokage didn't come forward to give me an explanation in person?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura didn't know what to do. Hiruzen Sarutobi had full responsibility for this matter.
However, at this moment, Takenaka Kaguya turned his eyes to the door, and saw Mito Uzumaki walking in with a smile, and said with a smile, "Takenaka, what happened to make you so angry? It seems that Sarutobi didn't entertain you well!"
"Hoo!"
As soon as Mito Uzumaki came, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Takenaka Kaguya, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Mito, I didn't expect this matter to alarm you!"
