Aoba's sentence "I know" immediately stunned Sarutobi Riyan. What does "you know" mean?
I sent someone to kidnap your woman and disciple. You actually told me that you knew, but if you knew, why would you still be here?
Could it be?
"Is there an ambush in your house?"
"No, there is no outsider in my family. Because... there is no need."
In the yard of Aoba's house, six ninjas were tied up by countless vines. These vines sucked up all their chakra, but it was not over yet.
They were still squirming, and more roots penetrated their skin and penetrated into their flesh. After that, they were completely torn into pieces and then devoured.
That's right, they were eaten by a bunch of vines. This is a special Wood Release belonging to Yumi. It's not like Yumi has done nothing for so long.
She is also constantly practicing and has developed some Wood Release ninjutsu of her own. The Wood Release in front of her that can swallow flesh and blood is one of them.
In actual combat, the effect of this move is not obvious. But it is very suitable for destroying corpses and eliminating traces.
As we all know, it is easy to kill someone but difficult to throw the body away. Yumi This trick directly omits the step of throwing the body away.
On the other side, when Tsunade was walking on the road, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look behind him.
There, the two figures had a brief confrontation, and then calmed down. At the same time, similar scenes appeared in more than a dozen different locations around them almost at the same time.
But everything happened quietly, and the battle ended in secret.
Returning to Sarutobi Riyan's yard. Looking at Aoba who didn't care in front of him, Sarutobi Riyan finally realized that there might be something wrong with his plan.
"Aoba Kamikawa, that's Hokage's seat. Don't you really want to consider it?"
"Haha, believe it or not, I could have taken the seat Hokage if I wanted to. In fact, I had already anticipated everything that happened tonight.
I just didn't expect that your methods were so... rough. You sent people to assassinate Hokage, my kidnapper. You waited and calculated for so many days, and finally came up with such a thing?
To put it more directly, do you call this a plan? If you are dissatisfied with Hokage, just kill him? If you are dissatisfied with me, then send someone to kidnap my people. Is this Konoha?"
"..." Sarutobi Riyan was rendered speechless by Aoba's complaints.
In fact, Aoba has never really let go of these die-hards. Again, these people have too special identities. They are the survivors of Hokage.
It doesn't matter whether this identity is important or not, because after all, they are the survivors, and no one will say anything if they are all killed. But it is important to say it is important.
Look at what Hiruzen Sarutobi did back then. Uzumaki, Uchiha, White Fang, and even Hizashi Hyuga all disappeared. But he himself was not responsible. At least that's how it seemed on the surface.
But later, when Konoha Crush Plan happened, everyone was waiting for him to die...
The situation that Aoba and Tsunade face now seems different from that of Hiruzen at the beginning, but it is actually similar in nature.
Is it difficult to solve the problem of Uchiha? How difficult is it? If Uchiha is given a Hokage, there will be no problem. The worst thing is to give them an identity of Hokage Advisor and let them participate in the high-level politics of Konoha. It can at least appease them for more than one generation.
There is a very funny problem in this. All the top executives of Konoha are strictly guarding against Uchiha, as if Konoha will collapse after they take power.
But in fact, in Aoba's opinion, the most suitable person for Konoha to be Hokage is Uchiha Clan. Why, because this family is the most honor-oriented family.
Back then, Uchiha was sent to fight a bloody battle with Kirigakure, who was the most restrained. They never complained because they were Uchiha and the founders of the village. They regarded Konoha as their home.
These people are the ones who stayed when the clan leader Madara left. They can be said to be the ones who most recognize Konoha.
Blood for Konoha Style is natural to them.
It is a pity that this concept became distorted under the continuous suppression of the Hokage lineage.
To put it bluntly, if Madara Uchiha was stronger than Hashirama Senju back then, he would come to do Hokage, and now Shinobi World would have been unified long ago. Those messy things later basically don't exist anymore.
But it is a pity that Sage of Six Paths prefers Ashura, so Ashura of all generations can suppress Indra.
Why does Uchiha Clan have a bad reputation? Because they enforce the law harshly and are unkind.
But don't forget, what they do is Konoha Military Police Force's job. Strict law enforcement is their basic requirement.
I don't know why, but some SBs always bring themselves into those who are subject to strict law enforcement.
But in fact, most people are just ordinary people. They are hooligans, gangsters, drunkards, and people who harass and hurt.
Think about reality, you were walking on the street and were beaten up by a drunkard. The police came and asked him to say sorry to you and let the matter go. Are you willing?
What will Uchiha do when he comes? According to the Public Security Management Penalty Regulations, check one by one. Detain you first, and then examine your injuries. Everything follows the procedures.
No matter what, do you like the first or the second? Of course, if you like to bring in the drunkard who beats people, that's another matter.
Uchiha and Police Force are just such a group of people. They are themselves a violent organization. If a violent organization leaves the public with the impression of kindness, it will be doomed.
In fact, the reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi's group is wary of Uchiha is not that Uchiha is an evil clan or something funny.
The most fundamental reason is profit.
Think about the huge assets of the Sarutobi Clan. Think about Root of Shimura Danzō, those shameless experiments.
Apart from anything else, if you let a Uchiha do Hokage Advisor, and he notices these things, what will those Uchiha do based on their temper?
There is at least an 80% chance that we will get to the bottom of it. The most important thing is that Uchiha Police Force itself has the responsibilities and rights in this regard.
But can the previous Hokage lineage stand up to scrutiny? They can't, so Uchiha will definitely not be able to enter the top management of Konoha because everyone's interests are inconsistent.
Aoba believed that the second generation could understand these things. But unfortunately, he died in a hurry and failed to arrange everything. He chose a relatively honest Sarutobi. But unfortunately, people will change.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally changed from Shinobi Hero to Hokage who was expected to die by everyone.
Aoba doesn't want Tsunade to go through this. He wants to completely end this decadent and degenerate inheritance. Therefore, everything is justified.
The purpose of splitting Sarutobi Clan is to maintain Konoha's combat power to the greatest extent. If they do nothing and accept all this, then Konoha will retain this part of its combat power.
And if they choose to take action, it will be equivalent to sending a legitimate reason into the hands of Aoba.
