"The Third Kazekage really did make his move.
But resolving his internal conflicts the way we did won't be easy." Uchiha Yi looked at the report of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind's death, a faint sneer appearing on his face.
"The Kazekage was far more ruthless than we were. He actually slaughtered the Daimyō's entire family." Hiruzen Sarutobi hardly knew what to say.
He had once called himself the Shinobi Hero, and even the Shinobi World had called him that. It had not been mere flattery; Hiruzen Sarutobi really was reasonably capable.
Although he might have been the weakest of the four Hokage to date, he had already reached the limits of what he could achieve.
As for the future, Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably remain the weakest Hokage. After all, the people in Uchiha Yi's line would only become more talented with each generation.
Even Minato Namikaze, for instance, now possessed an enormous amount of chakra.
Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze lacked the genes for the Sharingan. Unless he consumed a Pill refined from the Ten-Tails' chakra, he was destined never to awaken the Sharingan.
Uchiha Yi had not given Minato Namikaze any Ten-Tails Chakra Pills yet. They did not even have enough for their own inner circle, and Uchiha Yi had already killed the previous Ten-Tails.
Only a limited number of Ten-Tails Chakra Pills remained, so Uchiha Yi could hardly spare any.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, Minato Namikaze was actually quite suited to becoming Hokage. If Uchiha Yi had not appeared, Orochimaru would have been suitable as the Fourth Hokage, while Minato Namikaze would have been suitable as the Fifth Hokage.
Both were civilian-born ninja who could bring different changes to Konoha and help unite it more closely.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Yi had appeared, a man practically armed with cheats.
