"Starting from Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi's governance strategy has had problems. In other words, he has almost no clear governance line.
Every change in Konoha was greeted passively. Every time, he tried to solve it only after it happened.
From a ninja's perspective, this is understandable. But from a leader's perspective, this is unqualified.
As a leader, striving for power is inevitable and even a sign of maturity. Because the first thing a leader should ensure is that his leadership position will not be shaken casually.
But this kind of struggle for power must be controlled within an appropriate range. The bottom line is that you cannot exchange the interests of the village for your own interests. When a person does this kind of thing, he is not worthy of being a leader."
"Teacher Sarutobi always puts Konoha's interests first..."
"Uzumaki, White Fang, Uchiha..."
Aoba named these three names. But Jiraiya was obviously not convinced.
"At that time, it was not only Kumogakure that destroyed Uzumaki, but also the coalition forces from other ninja villages. Konoha could not directly wage war against other ninja villages."
"... Look at what you said, Jiraiya. Konoha cannot declare war on other ninja villages? If I remember correctly, Uzumaki and Konoha are a military alliance, right? Lord Jiraiya, do you want to explain to me, what is a military alliance?"
Jiraiya was silent. Aoba made him speechless again. Because, the situation at that time was not that Konoha declared war on other ninja villages, but other ninja villages declared war on Konoha. This is the meaning of the existence of a military alliance.
Aoba didn't even finish what he said next. For example, Konoha doesn't have to fight directly. Just rescue a group of the Uzumaki Clan people, take away their inheritance, and then merge them into Konoha.
Doing so with one stone can also enhance Konoha's foundation. But ANBU finally saved one person... one... one...
In fact, after the destruction of Uzumaki, Konoha's dominance began to be challenged frequently. I killed your allies, and you didn't even give a shit. Then of course I have to go one step further and continue to test it. Maybe if I fuck you, you won't dare to resist?
At that time, Kumogakure, Iwagakure and other ninja villages definitely thought so. Especially Kumogakure.
As the defeated party, he saw through the true nature of Konoha. All kinds of fun and tricks were made on Konoha's face. Hiruzen Sarutobi tolerated them all.
This can be regarded as the master-disciple relationship between him and Jiraiya. Because Jiraiya said that a ninja is a person who can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate. From this point of view, Hiruzen Sarutobi can really endure it.
"What about Uchiha? They are preparing to rebel."
Jiraiya knows what White Fang did. What Konoha did is too unreasonable. The people at the lower level don't understand. But as a high-level person, Jiraiya really knows the inside story of White Fang's death. He can't stand it.
"Do you need me to remind you, the logo of Lord Jiraiya. Konoha is the combination of Senju and Uchiha. It is not Sarutobi, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Inuzuka..."
"...Uchiha people are not suitable to be Hokage. They are..."
Jiraiya suddenly stopped when he said this. Because he actually didn't completely agree with the following sentence.
"Go on, say the words Konoha Style that have been passed down for a long time."
"..."
"Then let me tell you that Uchiha is an evil clan. Is this correct?"
"No matter what, they shouldn't rebel." Jiraiya tried to change the topic.
"Then Lord Jiraiya, do you want to tell me why Uchiha rebelled?"
This question once again stopped Jiraiya. He originally wanted to tell the answer that was on his lips. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was something missing. But what was missing, he couldn't figure out for a while.
"Then let me tell you. Because Uchiha has always wanted one of his own to be Hokage. But Konoha never gave him. Why not? Because Uchiha is an evil clan. You see, the problem is back to the original point.
Let me confirm one last time, Lord Jiraiya. Are you sure about Second Hokage Tobirama Senju? Is your evaluation of Uchiha like this?"
Jiraiya continued to be silent. He had given up arguing with Aoba Kamikawa. But deep down in his heart, he was actually curious.
One is why Aoba Kamikawa knows so many secrets about Konoha. The other is how he will explain this matter.
"If you don't know, let me tell you. Second Hokage's complete evaluation of Uchiha is.
This is a clan that has restrained its own emotions. They seem cold, heartless, and even evil.
But once the people of Uchiha understand love, the emotions that have been bound for a long time will be released. When the love in their hearts is released, they will also awaken the power beyond the Senju Clan.
But too strong love also has certain side effects, that is, the awakened power of the Uchiha people may go berserk because of this strong love.
Once the Uchiha people who understand love lose the love in their hearts, their strong love will turn into even stronger hatred.
Their whole temperament will also change drastically. During this process, the brains of the Uchiha people will produce a special chakra. This chakra will stimulate their eyes and cause changes in their eyes, which becomes Sharingan.
This is also the reason why Sharingan is called Sharingan. As the hatred in the hearts of the Uchiha people becomes stronger, their power will also increase.
In addition, most Uchiha Clan are born with delicate minds, so once they awaken this power, they can easily be swallowed by darkness and become an 'evil clan'."
Aoba's words silenced both Jiraiya and Tsunade. Although Tsunade belongs to the Senju Clan Princess. But I don't know much about Uchiha. This is also the first time I heard such a detailed and specific analysis of the power of the Uchiha Clan and even Sharingan.
Now, even Tsunade started to look at Aoba with that strange look. This guy knew too much.
"Then why Second Hokage moved Uchiha Clan to the edge of Konoha to isolate them."
Because Tobirama Senju is considered a qualified Hokage. This is also the struggle for rights I mentioned before. Don't forget, he accepted Kagami Uchiha as his disciple.
Second Hokage, although he was wary of Uchiha, he had never thought of destroying Uchiha. He knew very well that Uchiha was an important combat force in the village. It was okay to isolate him, but he could not be overly forced.
The grasp of the scale in the middle is the embodiment of Hokage's ability.
Hiruzen Sarutobi worked very hard to learn from his teacher. Unfortunately, he only learned a little bit in the end.
