Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 193: Cutting off the foundation of the Sarutobi clan!

The two had only met each other a few times, but they were as close as brothers and laughed heartily in the Hokage's office.

After chatting and laughing for a long time, the two returned to the main business and started discussing.

"The infrastructure alliance of the three countries is the most important thing at the moment. As the bridge between them, Konoha has an irreversible responsibility."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Hozuki Mangetsu with a serious face and vowed: "Before, Konoha had no Hokage and the cooperation was stagnant. Now that I am here, the Three Kingdoms Infrastructure Alliance should be implemented immediately, and all standards should be in accordance with the original treaty!"

"So good."

Mangetsu Kizuki took out a scroll with a smile on his face: "This is the list of our Kirigakure Construction Engineering Company and the project cooperation matters. Please take a look at it, Fifth Generation."

"a piece of cake!"

Fugaku waved his hand and signed directly.

Without the help of Kirigakure, Uchiha Fugaku would not have been able to ascend to the position of Hokage. Even though Fugaku was aware of the threat Kirigakure posed to Konoha, at the moment, Konoha was far from being Kirigakure's opponent in terms of both strength and influence.

As early as the Third Ninja World War, he was defeated by Mizunoe Tsukiyomi even though he was using the Mangekyō, let alone now?
In the battle with the Iron Country, he witnessed with his own eyes how powerful Mizunotsukiyo was.

Plus the Shinigami of Kirigakure Seireitei...

By cooperating with Kirigakure, Konoha will suffer some losses.

But if Konoha becomes an enemy of Kirigakure, a catastrophe will be waiting for it!
It is reasonable for him to stand on the side of Kirigakure and promote cooperation between Konoha and Kirigakure.

"I have always felt that the head of the Fugaku clan has the potential to be a Hokage. The previous Hokage really didn't know the pros and cons. He was so greedy for power that he actually delayed the Fugaku clan... no, he actually delayed the fifth generation for so long. This is simply a loss for Konoha!"

Seeing Fugaku being so decisive, Man Yue's smile grew even wider. In this way, his mission was successfully completed.

"Oh, by the way, Your Excellency the Envoy." Fugaku seemed to have thought of something and lowered his voice slightly: "Hyuga's side..."

Hiashi was able to take the initiative to defect to him in the general election, and has never come to see him once since he came to power. Even the visiting cards he wanted to send to visit him in person were returned, which made Fugaku feel a little uneasy.

After much thought, Fugaku could only take this opportunity to ask Mangetsu Kizuna.

"Hinata? Oh, Godaime wants to ask about the Hiashi clan leader, right?" Man Yue was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized, and said with a smile on his face: "The Hiashi clan leader has been very busy these days."

"how do I say this?"

"The Fifth Hokage may not know this, but the daughter of the Hiashi clan leader was accepted as a disciple by the Fourth Hokage."

"Wha, what?!"

Fugaku was horrified.

Of course he knew that this fourth generation was not the Namikaze Minato who had been taken away by the god of death long ago, but the number one person in the ninja world today, Mizuno Tsukiyo!

No wonder that guy Hiashi helped him so much in becoming Hokage, it turned out that he got such a benefit!

In the ninja world, master-disciple relationship is extremely important and highly valued.

Due to the high mortality rate and low birth rate of ninjas, many ninjas may not leave offspring until their death, and their disciples often represent their future inheritance.

The daughter of Hiashi becomes Mizunotsuki Yoru as her master, which not only represents the support from Kirigakure, but also represents the unimaginable upper limit of the daughter of Hiashi's future achievements.

He is the number one person in the ninja world!

But...why did Kirigakure, why did Mizunoe Tsukiyomi do that?

The person who paid the price for him, allowing Kirigakure to help them defeat Kumogakure, and supported him to take the throne, what price did Kirigakure pay to make him do such things one after another...

Fugaku was very curious. He was curious about the man's identity and what he had paid.

He looked at the full moon, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and ultimately did not ask.

He knew that it was better not to know too much about some things, as it would bring him unnecessary trouble.

Now that he has become the Hokage, what he has to do next is to develop Uchiha and Konoha. Everything else has nothing to do with him...

Fugaku is very conscious, which is completely different from the usual stubborn Uchiha.

No, it should be said that Fugaku is the Uchiha with the most stubborn personality.

However, the stubborn idea in his heart has been fulfilled at this moment. Now he is like Sasuke who has finished the battle of the Valley of the End, ended everything, and shouldered the responsibility.

To manage Uchiha well, to manage Konoha well, to shoulder the responsibility and to be a good Hokage, apart from that, there is nothing else in his mind.

Well, I also have to change the twisted ideas in my silly son's mind.

Now that he is the Hokage, what his son worships in his heart must be changed from Sarutobi Hiruzen's corrupt and twisted will of fire to his Will of Fugaku!

"By the way, Hokage-sama, the Yondaime said that if Hokage-sama has no idea about government affairs, you might as well refer to us, Kirigakure. You may get unexpected gains!"

"Reference to Kirigakure?"

Fugaku was stunned.

Fugaku is the newly appointed Hokage. Although he is not completely inexperienced, he can only be restricted by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Elders, Namikaze Minato. However, in terms of power, Fugaku is now the one who truly has the final say in Konoha.

But this was indeed his first time as Hokage, and he didn't understand many policies and plans.

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to keep it. Governing the world well is even more difficult!

Before becoming Hokage, Fugaku's mind was full of thoughts about becoming Hokage, but after becoming Hokage, he really had no idea how to govern.

But now Man Yue's words gave Fugaku a beacon of light.

I can't do it, but other ninja villages can do it, and if they do it well, I can just move here! After seeing off Man Yue, Fugaku immediately began to handle government affairs and focused on studying the current situation of Kirigakure.

The more I study, the happier I am.

Not only is Kirigakure's current policy extremely open, but it also has a very good momentum of development. Not only are its economy and people's livelihood far superior to the era of the Third Mizukage a few years ago, but its mission commissions and tax revenue from merchants have increased several times!
Without any hesitation, Fugaku directly activated the professional skills of the Sharingan.

copy!

Fugaku directly copied most of the current Kirigakure policies, focusing on strengthening ninja school education and ninja training, and to a certain extent, imitated the Kirigakure Duel Tower and began to open up some low-level ninjutsu.

This practice of copying policies is not uncommon in the ninja world.

In the past, the Second Generation Hokage created the Ninja School system and the Anbu system, but they were copied by other major countries within a few days and are still in use today.

Even the blood mist policy that Kirigakure had already eliminated was learned by the current Sand Village, so that the entire Wind Country was closed to the outside world. Even the three-country infrastructure alliance was handled by special Anbu, which put the Sand Village under high pressure to the maximum extent...

Of course, at the beginning Fugaku was a little worried that this kind of copy-and-paste behavior might not be a good thing. After all, the national conditions are different, and the implementation of policies also has different difficulties.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as his two policies came out, they attracted unanimous praise from all the lower-level ninjas in Konoha.

Increasing the intensity of education is for the sake of the children and the future of Konoha, there is no doubt about it, and opening up low-level ninjutsu is an even greater blessing for those civilian ninjas.

This means that they can be exposed to more ninjutsu, and even learn ninjutsu in advance, so that they don't have to fall behind the noble ninja clan as soon as they enter school!

For a time, Fugaku's reputation in Konoha Village reached its peak, and everyone applauded!

Seeing this, Fugaku stepped up his efforts and once again began to imitate the Hidden Mist and established the [Konoha Library]. After putting ninjutsu such as [Basic Ninja Knowledge], [Chakra Refining and Training Techniques], [Introduction to Ninjutsu Encyclopedia], and [Analysis and Application of Three Body Techniques] into the Konoha Library, he also made a large number of D-level and C-level ninjutsu available to all senior ninja school students!

Unlike Kirigakure, which first collected various ninjutsu information and then organized it, and during the process had to discuss with various families that provided some rare ninjutsu, Konoha was more direct.

The day after the Hokage made the decision, the library opened and all kinds of ninjutsu were put on the shelves!

What, where did ninjutsu come from?
No, buddy, why do you think Kakashi got the title of copy ninja who copied thousands of ninjutsu? It’s not just because of that bloody eye.

The Uchiha clan has nothing but a lot of ninjutsu!
Fugaku's actions attracted cheers from countless Konoha ninjas, especially the civilian ninjas, who regarded Fugaku as the greatest Hokage in Konoha's history!
The only thing worth noting is that after Fugaku announced this policy, that night, the previous Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen brought Danzo, Utatane Koharu and others, rushed to the Hokage's office, found Fugaku, and tried to make Fugaku withdraw this policy, but was ultimately rejected by Fugaku righteously.

"Can't you see the current development of Kirigakure?!"

"The Kirigakure is so powerful now, but what about us, Konoha? We are no longer the Konoha we once were!"

Facing the questioning of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the three advisory elders, the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Fugaku said angrily: "Wake up, elders, we must let go of our former pride as the best in the ninja world. We must emulate Kirigakure in all aspects and learn from Kirigakure. Only in this way can we have a way out for Konoha!"

"But Kirigakure is Kirigakure after all. Konoha is different from Kirigakure..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others wanted to say something, but were directly rejected by Uchiha Fugaku.

"This is for the welfare of all Konoha people, there is no room for negotiation! Besides, Sandaime, I am the Hokage now!"

"Fugaku, you're going to regret this!"

Hearing these familiar words, Danzo, Utane, Koharu and others were stunned, while Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more furious. He responded angrily and then slammed the door and walked out!

Seeing this, Fugaku didn't care at all, but began to laugh in his heart.

Originally, he simply wanted to copy and paste, and use Kirigakure's methods to develop Konoha, but he didn't expect that as he copied, not only his own reputation in the village became higher and higher, but it also dealt a huge blow to the Sarutobi clan who used to occupy the entire Konoha and suck the blood of the people!
Although after becoming the Hokage, Fugaku immediately seized the core power of Konoha, and even replaced the incumbent members of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan with members of the Uchiha clan, but there was one thing he could not change.

That is the most powerful and largest group of ninjas at present, which are still the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan and other ninja clans!

Even though they were kicked out of the core power circle by Fugaku, the huge number of ninjas and their overall strong status as the backbone of Konoha allowed them to still have a very high say in Konoha.

Considering the identities of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others as elder advisors, if they really say something, Fugaku must consider it carefully.

This is power!
This is the tribe!
The reason why the ancient emperors did not dare to mess with the aristocratic families was because there were too many of them and their influence was too great.

Even though Fugaku is now the Hokage, if Sarutobi Hiruzen and others really insist on going against Fugaku, the resistance they bring to Fugaku will be enormous, and it may even cause turmoil in Fugaku's regime...

What's important is not the Hokage, but the people under the Hokage. Everyone who participated in the election is well aware of this.

Fugaku will only be in power for one term. When the next term comes, or when Fugaku steps down or a hundred years later, will the Uchiha still be able to take power?
It’s hard to say!

Because the people who voted were still the same people, and among them, there were too many people from the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan! So many that ordinary ninjas could not compete with them without the help of civilian ninjas!

But now, Fugaku copied the policy of Kirigakure, but accidentally hit the foundation of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others!
The reason why Mizunoe Tsukiyomi created the Kirigakure Library was to improve the strength and fighting methods of the entire population.

Making entry-level ninjutsu public, opening up low-level ninjutsu, and even a certain degree of mid-to-high-end ninjutsu, these are all great things for civilian ninjas.

But for the ninja clan, it is not so wonderful.

Because these things are all available in their tribe!
What you have that others don't have is leading, which is why the ninjas of the ninja clan are obviously stronger than civilian ninjas even if they enter school together.

What you just learned has already been mastered by others and has entered the next stage. What can you compare with?

But at this moment, as Fugaku imitates Kirigakure's policy, everyone has what you have. Even if the ninja clan's advantage still exists, the gap between the two will be narrowed to a certain extent.

Of course, because the ninjutsu that Fugaku opened up were basically copied from the Sharingan, and they were ordinary ninjutsu that were not difficult to learn, there was no loss for those esoteric ninjutsu families that were the backbone of Konoha, such as the Ino-Shika-Chou, Inuzuka, and Aburame families.

For bloodline families like Hyuga and Kurama, it has absolutely no effect at all.

The ones who really have an impact are the ninja clans like Sarutobi and Shimura who have no bloodline and no secret techniques!

During the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen, this guy and his good friends kept crawling on Konoha to suck blood, which made the development momentum of the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Mitomon ninja clans unprecedentedly strong. They went from being a small trash ninja clan to a Konoha behemoth comparable to the Uchiha clan, or even surpassing the Uchiha clan!
The biggest advantage is the inclination of resources and ninjutsu!

But after the promulgation of this policy, these ninjas will no longer have the advantage in inheriting ninjutsu, and will become no different from civilian ninjas, and may even eventually become civilian ninjas completely.

Konoha Thief, no worries!
