Shimura Danzō, who has always distrusted Uchiha Clan and monitored Uchiha Clan, finally ended up being monitored by the Uchiha Clan. How can this not be said to be ironic?
Danzo, who was already ashen-faced, became completely despairing after hearing Third Hokage's "forced" decision.
"Then just listen to Lord Hokage."
Seeing that Third Hokage made concessions, although Fugaku still wanted to kill Danzo, as the leader of the clan, he also understood the weight of Danzo, and it was absolutely impossible to kill him directly.
The scenes that should be cooperated have been performed, and the face Hokage has been given. If you continue to pester me, it will be over.
Quietly, Third Hokage completed the harvest of power from Danzo. Although Root is now nominally in charge of Itachi, Third Hokage also has power over Root has the right to review all matters up and down, and there is no force in the entire Konoha that can resist Third Hokage. Even if some families originally followed Danzo, but now they are leaderless, they will naturally stop.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who became Hokage for the second time, by chance once again left Konoha with only his own voice.
Three days later, Madara Uchiha, with the assistance of Fugaku and Uchiha Clan tribesmen, completed the full takeover of Root's forces, and At the same time, he also completed the reform plan for Root. On Madara Uchiha's tenth birthday, he handed his plan to Third Hokage's desktop.
"Cancel the Root training method, let all orphans adopted by Root be included in Konoha's Ninja system, cancel Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal, Itachi, did you ask your father's opinion when you made these decisions?"
Even though Third Hokage is already considered the most moderate person among Konoha, when he saw Madara's Root reform plan, he still felt that Madara was too kind.
Handing over Root to the Uchiha Clan is actually Third Hokage intentionally or unintentionally helping Madara Uchiha accumulate political resources.
Although Uchiha Clan's scheduling of Root must be reviewed by Hokage before it can take effect, once Uchiha Clan perfectly integrates Root of Danzo, including Police Force, they will have mastered Konoha has two layers of armed forces, overtly and covertly. With these two forces in hand, even if something unexpected happens to Third Hokage, Uchiha Clan will instantly become the clan with the largest say in the village. Regardless of whether Madara is Hokage or not, Uchiha Clan will not fall into passivity. But now, Madara's set of reforms is entirely at his own expense.
Without the training methods and brainwashing methods developed by Danzo, these war orphans would become normal humans.
As long as they are normal human beings, they can be won over by other forces, and they will not be completely loyal to the Uchiha Clan. According to Madara's reforms, he will directly abolish Root!
The plan given by Madara was so bright that Third Hokage felt it was a bit dazzling, so Third Hokage immediately suspected that it was just the initiative of this kind-hearted child.
"I have spoken to my father and I have successfully convinced him."
Hearing what Madara said, Third Hokage also felt a little unbelievable, and he motioned to Madara Uchiha to continue.
"Root is not cultivating Ninja, but a group of walking zombies who can only obey orders. According to Root's training method, these children will lose their humanity. Lord Hokage, I would like to ask, these children taken in by Konoha, are they considered our Konoha people?"
Hearing Madara Uchiha ask this question, Third Hokage somewhat understood what Madara meant.
No matter where these children originally come from or whether they have parents, as long as they come to Konoha and are actively accepted by Konoha, then they are Konoha's children and villagers of Konoha.
The purpose of the village's existence is to protect the people in the village.
With the righteousness of protecting the village, some people in the village were trained into tools, and these people were asked to sacrifice their lives to protect the remaining people. To a certain extent, this was the evil trick that the village leaders found because of their own incompetence.
The original intention of Madara Uchiha and First Hokage to establish Konoha is to allow every child to grow up safely. This kind of sacrificing some children's lives to safeguard the interests of most people is completely unacceptable here at Madara Uchiha.
"Children should not be sent to the battlefield, nor should they be trained as tools from an early age."
Third Hokage looked at Madara Uchiha standing in front of him with firm eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Third Hokage lowered his head and looked at the names of the children of Root who either died in training or lost their usefulness and were assassinated and discarded by Danzo in the past few decades. Isn't this an accusation of his own incompetence?
"I will defeat any enemy who wants to attack Konoha. As for these children, just wait until they grow up safely before helping me."
After hearing Madara Uchiha's last response, Third Hokage laughed.
Originally Third Hokage felt that Madara Uchiha was an atypical Uchiha Clan person.
Although Madara is powerful, he doesn't seem proud. Although he is a member of the Uchiha Clan, he does not protect his shortcomings like other Uchiha Clan. But now it seems that Madara Uchiha is really a complete Uchiha tribesman.
He was so proud that he completely denied the light and shadow system that he and Danzo had built. As far as he was concerned, he didn't need any dirty tricks in the dark. He could defeat all threats to Konoha in an upright and open manner by himself.
He is so protective of his shortcomings, and he will protect everyone who is listed as his own power without discrimination. Fortunately, Madara's mind is so broad, and the entire Konoha is now included in his protection. Because of this, he does not want those Root children to grow up as tools.
"I approve, Root is indeed no longer necessary to exist."
Third Hokage suddenly felt that his life, which had entered an advanced stage, suddenly had a new perspective. He was originally pessimistic about life and death, but now he wanted to see what Madara Uchiha would look like when he grew up. From the current look, this child really looks like the legendary First Hokage.
"Lord Hokage, in addition to this, I am also responsible for making a request to you on behalf of our Uchiha Clan."
After seeing Third Hokage approve his plan to abandon Root's cruel training method, Madara Uchiha motioned Third Hokage to take a look at his second suggestion - to relax Police Force's recruitment conditions and allow Uchiha Clan to recruit other villagers to join.
If Madara Uchiha's first suggestion made Third Hokage realize Madara's pattern, then Madara's request on behalf of the Uchiha Clan made Third Hokage burst into laughter.
