From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 387: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Changes, Changes of the New Generation
"Ever since the Root was formed and Danzo became the Dark Lord of Konoha, he hasn't had a good reputation."

Kevin's tone was teasing.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was also speechless after hearing these words.

There was little smoke on the pipe.

Kevin's voice continued, "During the Kumogakure coup, the Second Hokage led you to evacuate Kumogakure, but you were hunted down by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The Second Hokage said that someone must cover the retreat so that the others could return alive."

"In this situation, knowing that you would die if you were the last one to leave, Danzo was afraid, but you offered to leave without hesitation."

"At the same time, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, left his will and ordered you to succeed the Third Hokage. This made Danzo always believe that he was a few seconds late at that time and missed the position of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.

He stopped smoking because at this moment he felt as if he had been stripped naked and seen clearly.

Danzo was unwilling to accept this, so he had always been dissatisfied with himself, and even thought about becoming the new Hokage through a coup more than once.

However, as friends of several decades, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well where Danzo's stupidity lay.

Strength is an indispensable part of becoming a shadow, but strength alone is far from enough.

The establishment of the Root, and the fact that the Root trained ninjas into tools and used cursed seals to control ninjas' behavior, meant that no ninja clan would be willing to send their members into the Root.

One Shanzhongfeng offends the entire Shanzhong clan.

The taking of roots by an Aburame also made the Aburame clan resentful.

For such a person, a coup would only become a joke. Even if the coup succeeded in a short period of time and he became Hokage, the only force he could truly command was the Root.

"At your age... it's really scary to have such thoughts."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his cigarette, exhaled and continued, "An elderly man who has worked hard for the village all his life, can't even keep his reputation in the end. Such a result will horrify all the top leaders."

Kevin: "It's just a guess based on people's character. I didn't say anything. It's up to you to understand your true thoughts."

"The death of a rabbit makes the fox sad, but of all the high-ranking people you mentioned, the only ones left now should be you, Danzo, Mitomon En, and Utane Koharu, right?"

"You...are not worthy of all these quantifiers."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing paused.

At this moment, he had already forgotten about Danzo's later years, and all he was thinking about was his own future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not stupid.

After seeing the changes in the students of the Ninja School, and after being reminded that the nobles also feared death, and that if a person was killed, they would die... he no longer considered the influence of the nobles on the village.

In the past, ninjas were always a minority in this world, and numbers were a hindrance to their becoming the ruling class.

Although they possess chakra and can perform ninjutsu, illusion and other powers, they still need food to survive. Even refining chakra requires body energy, which to a certain extent consumes more than ordinary people.

Ninjas do not engage in production, and the supplies they need to survive are also produced by ordinary people.

Therefore, the ninja village would be subject to economic constraints by the daimyo government.

But after the emergence of the power of domineering, ordinary people in particular can possess this power, and it integrates defense, attack, perception, etc., which is enough for ordinary people to arm themselves.

You know... Ninjas are a minority, and nobles are also a minority.

The real majority of people in this world are those who have always relied on farming for a living and were called untouchables by the nobles.

With the liberation of thought, ordinary people who were originally scattered and powerless are brought together, and the power of each individual can be comparable to that of a ninja!
In this way, unless there is a major change in the fate of the nobles, the outcome is foreseeable.

As a Kage for so many years, Sarutobi Hiruzen's political wisdom enabled him to understand the reason why the Daimyo's attitude took a sharp turn for the worse immediately after he took the ideological class in the Ninja School.

They are afraid!
Just as Hizashi's son said, as long as a person is killed, he will die, and the fear that death brings to life is equal.

The untouchables used to be as lowly as dust.

But the nobles have always been high and mighty, enjoying the supply from the whole world to themselves and others.

Between a clay jar and porcelain, which one is more afraid of being broken?

The Hyuga clan became one of the nobles of the Land of Fire during the Warring States Period. The fundamental reason was also that the nobles wanted their collective to obtain a part of the powerful ninja clan.

Just like Tsunade's identity as a princess...those guys who have always been proud of the origin of their surnames actually understand better what they lack.

At this time, Kevin's voice sounded.

"Since it was a toilet in the first place, when it has accumulated too much dirt, it is time to abandon it."

After he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

bathroom……

Did I really treat Danzo as a toilet?
When did it start?

No, he had always taken the initiative to gain power and was proud to be the Dark of Konoha.

Even if it really is a toilet, that is the identity he gave himself.

And I... just acquiesced in his actions.

Now this toilet is about to explode. If you can't dodge in time, you will be covered in dirt that you can't wash off.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his cigarette, then knocked the burnt ash onto the ground.

"What have you brought to this world, a disaster? Or a dawn? A new power system that will allow ordinary people to have the power of ninja strength. I can see that this world is about to start changing dramatically."

Kevin looked at the new generation in the distance and replied with a smile: "Since I appeared in this world, changes have already begun. If it weren't for the sudden awakening, perhaps the world would be in the midst of war now."

“The liberation of thought is the prerequisite for revolution. If thought is not liberated, and force is used to make the whole world submit, the final result may be counterproductive.”

“Thoughts should precede force, not force precedes thoughts. Otherwise, if others follow suit, the world will truly become a hell.”

The class bell rang.

Sarutobi Hiruzen went to the senior history classroom like a student.

There is a difference between a gentleman and a teacher.

There is only one gentleman, but there are many teachers.

In order to make it difficult to fool the students, Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to understand the level of other teachers in each grade.

If he could really radiate the entire ninja world with one point as the center, then his attitude would definitely change.

The fundamental reason why the Sarutobi clan was able to survive into the Warring States Period, and even became the third generation Hokage for many years after the Senju clan dissipated on their own, was that they knew how to take sides.

He reduced his presence when the ninja village was first established, and after Uchiha Madara left the village, he stood on the side of the Senju, and he even formed a witness bond with Ino-Shika-Chou.

……

Kevin glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was leaving, then turned his attention back to the class that was doing outdoor training.

In fact, neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor Shimura Danzo cared about him.

Four years have passed, and the seeds of thought have begun to take root. In the entire ninja world, no matter the daimyo or the five major ninja villages, no one can resist the tide of the times.

A spark falls into the grassland, and the momentum of a prairie fire has already risen.

And his power is gradually breaking through the limits of the pirate world.

...Born in the Valley of the Gods, the prison that he thought was a golden finger was later proved to be just a devil fruit ability.

Because of the diversity of individuals, because of the desire to judge good and evil, and because their values ​​are incompatible with this world, the first generation awakened such abilities.

Even before Kevin, the devil fruit that this ability represents had never even had a name.

In the world of Naruto...

Drop a seed, change the whole world, and spread your name throughout the world.

The power of Conqueror's Haki will break through the boundaries of the pirate world.

Only in this way can we compete with the Otsutsuki in terms of military force.

The dimensional passage that rescued Uchiha Yan would never appear at this point in time according to the trajectory that he remembered.

You must know that Uchiha Obito has already opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and because his experience before opening the eye has not changed at all, the ability awakened by his awakened Mangekyō and the reflection of his mind is still Kamui.

Place your own entity in a different space, and use the ability of virtualization with the body energy of the first-generation cells. There is no limit to the number of times you can use this ability.

In this situation, Uchiha Obito still said that if he chased him, he would die.

The other party's identity can already be imagined.

……

"gentlemen."

The outdoor training ended and Naruto bowed slightly to Kevin.

The only son of the Fourth Hokage, Naruto was well aware that the gentleman in front of him was different from other teachers.

The other Uchiha Sasuke was also very respectful, because his brother Uchiha Itachi also respected the gentleman in front of him.

"Your kunai throwing skills are pretty good."

Kevin encouraged Sasuke.

This made the child, who had been a proud child since childhood, blush.

Scratching his head, he replied, "Compared to my brother, he is much worse. I heard from my father that my brother actually met the requirements for graduation in his first year of school."

These words made Naruto beside him stunned.

The attention of several students on the other side was also drawn over.

Inuzuka Kiba curled his lips and said, "When I learn the family secret technique, I will graduate early as well."

Aburame Shino appeared like a ghost, "By the time you learn the secret technique, we should be able to graduate normally."

Inuzuka Kiba:......

Uchiha Itachi is a genius. Although he did not reach the level that Kakashi graduated at the age of five, the fundamental reason was due to the special circumstances of the war period.

At the age of six, he was able to perform the Shadow Clone Technique, hiding from the teacher while attending classes and practicing with his main body.

The first time he came into contact with the Great Fireball Technique, he was able to successfully perform it by directly forming seals.

His talent as a ninja is undisputed.

"But Itachi didn't choose to graduate early."

Kevin reached out and rubbed Sasuke's head.

For the six-year-old Sasuke, even Itachi would choose to avoid this action now, but he didn't do so at this moment.

"Learning is a process. Strength can only reflect a person's talent in skills. But it is the mind that controls the strength."

"If you are immature, no matter how powerful you are, you may end up being exploited by others and make serious mistakes."

Kevin and Sasuke stared at each other.

"If you graduate early, you will be admired and envied by many of your classmates, and you will be called a genius as soon as you step out of the door."

"But what you lost is the growth of your spirit and will. Without a companion who you have been with day and night for six years, there are not many ties, and there is no growth process."

"It is not a good thing for a child to face the dark side of the world before he or she matures mentally."

Kevin said as he looked at the pink-haired girl who was peeking at the place not far away.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The power of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is the power of protection. If you want to open your eyes, you must first find what you really want to protect."

Something to protect?
Sasuke was a little confused.

He was only six years old at this time. Children in this world were generally precocious, but they were not yet able to understand these words.

Naruto at the side asked quickly: "Sir, I want to know how to make father less busy."

Kevin turned to look at Naruto: "Kage is power and glory, but also responsibility. Your dream is to become Hokage, so you need to understand what the responsibility of the Kage is."

"Did you read the notice board outside the Hokage building?"

Naruto nodded: "If I become the Hokage in the future, I will definitely go to war with those despicable villains in Kumogakure!"

Hearing this, Kevin nodded and said, "It is indeed possible to start a war. As a shadow, announcing the start of a war can indeed be very impressive. Most people will praise you for your fearlessness."

"But...what happens next?"

Naruto was a little confused: "Afterwards?"

Kevin: "Declare war. The direction of Kumogakure needs to be more vigilant. In addition, the directions of Sandgakure, Iwagakure, and Mistgakure also need to be on guard against sneak attacks."

"Troop deployment, material allocation and transportation, the spies in the village need to be cleared, and the spies arranged in other villages need to obtain first-hand intelligence."

"If we don't make these preparations, what do you think will be the end of Konoha if we lose? How many people will scold you, the Kage who announced the war?"

"War is no joke, because it determines the fate of so many ninjas in Konoha, and also the fate of many civilians in the Land of Fire."

After he finished speaking, Kevin waved towards Hinata.

After Hinata timidly approached, he also reached out and ruffled the child's hair.

"Trust me...Hinata will be changed soon."

Hinata looked up and locked eyes with Kevin.

Despite the height difference, Hinata could see the sincerity in the gentleman's eyes.

"Ah."

After nodding heavily, Hinata stepped back and bowed ninety degrees.

When she was three years old, what she saw and heard changed everything she knew.

Uncle Hizashi's hideous face and painful expression made his brother, who had always cared about him, seem like a different person overnight.

Finally, I look at Hanabi who was born not long ago...

She made what she felt was the right choice.
