From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 139: The Night of Genocide - Fake (Part )
After walking out of the Uchiha clan's gate, Sarutobi Saizo always had a calm expression, as if he was always thinking about something.

Originally according to his estimation, the Uchiha clan, who were already dissatisfied with the Hokage clan and had been opposing the Hokage clan since the Second Hokage era, would at least show some hostility towards them even if they were slightly shaken because of Sawara Kiri.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Motoya also had a clear mind.

At this time, if you still have some common sense, you will understand what the consequences of going against Sawara Kiri will be.

But others can continue to wait, but the Sarutobi clan cannot.

Even though the guys from the "All Bank Group" didn't take action immediately due to their status as a ninja clan, all the shops involved in the rice riots had been blocked and forcibly requisitioned at this time.

The Sarutobi clan, which originally controlled Konoha's grain and oil assets, suffered severe damage in this incident.

If there is no turning point in this incident, their Sarutobi clan will decline at a speed visible to the naked eye - as mentioned before, the resources and economic benefits required to train ninjas, especially to train large numbers of ninjas, are enormous.

It seems that we have to find a way to break through from within the Uchiha or Hyuga clan first?
Just like the Sarutobi clan itself, each ninja clan is not a monolithic entity, and like political groups, they are divided into radical, conservative, and neutral.

According to previous understanding, the fourth and sixth elders of the Uchiha clan should belong to the anti-Hokage faction.
Just as he was thinking deeply about this.

A guard behind him suddenly came closer and said:

"Lord Patriarch."

"There are two followers behind us."

Sarutobi Saizo's expression became serious.

At a time like this, with his status, he naturally had to be wary of the decapitation tactics of the "entire group", so he brought two sensory types with him.

However, after looking around for a while and confirming that there was no sound of a meteor falling to the ground as rumored, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice:
"What direction?"

"They came from the Uchiha clan's territory."

Immediately afterwards, Sarutobi Saizo's expression suddenly brightened.

really.

There seemed to be many people in the Uchiha clan who shared the same ideals as him.

But I don’t know who the person on the other side is.

When they moved to a secluded place, the figure following behind him immediately quickened his pace.

Sarutobi Saizo looked over and his gaze suddenly froze.

"You are."

Soon, the two people following behind them also emerged from the shadows of the woods.

It was a tall middle-aged man with severe burn marks on the right half of his face, and half of his face was covered with iron sheets. His voice was dull:

"It's true that you are a noble man who forgets things, so you hide it."

"Uchiha Setsuna?!"

Sarutobi Saizo narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This is a powerful Uchiha who has been active on the battlefield since the Second Hokage. In his early years, he was the leader of the radical faction of the Uchiha clan and tried his best to take back the supreme position from the Hokage line.

However, due to various political conflicts, he was eventually imprisoned in Konoha Prison by the Second Hokage.

There has been no news of him since then.

In his early years, as a trusted subordinate of Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Saizo had fought with him many times and was well aware of his strength.

"How could you?"

Just when Sarutobi Saizo wanted to ask him how he escaped from the Konoha Prison, his mind suddenly flashed back to the rumor that a Kirigakure ninja broke into the Konoha Prison and assassinated Shimura Danzo some time ago.

There was quite a commotion in the village at that time, and as a high-ranking member of the Sarutobi clan, he naturally knew how long the various subsequent arrest operations lasted.

"So that's when he escaped."

"It seems you are not senile yet."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna merely smiled, looking nonchalant, not caring at all about the exposure of his fugitive identity.

Of course.

This is also because, what the Sarutobi clan leader wants to do now is much bigger than the problem of him being a mere fugitive.

Sarutobi Saizo looked at him calmly: "Why, you suddenly appeared here, you don't just want to reminisce with me?"

"You should understand better than me why I came here."

"You want the power of the Uchiha clan, right, Saizo?"

A pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's eye sockets, looking straight at him with an invisible sense of oppression.

"And I need to take back the Uchiha clan."

“This is a win-win deal.”

Sarutobi Saizo frowned and said, "What can you do alone? As a fugitive, what influence can you have among the Uchiha clan?"

"With Uchiha Motoya's current power, if you make the slightest movement, you will probably be captured by him."

"Besides, he still has those eyes."

Uchiha Setsuna didn't mind at all. After all, what he said was true: "That's why I came to you, or the Sarutobi clan."

"As long as you can defeat the "All-In-One Group" and control Konoha's economic lifeline, then it will be easy for you to help me become the head of the Uchiha clan."

Sarutobi Saizou looked at him with an increasingly dangerous gaze, and said coldly: "If you are here to joke with me, then go back soon."

What nonsense.

If he had the ability to defeat the "All-In-One Group" and Sawara Kiri, would the Sarutobi clan have been able to wait until now?
Isn't the reason why he tried to win over the Uchiha and other ninja clans because he didn't have the ability to do so?
What's more, if they can really defeat the "All Bank Group", then why would they need to help you, their ally, take the position?
Logical deadlock.

Uchiha Setsuna didn't take his cold attitude to heart at all, and smiled calmly: "Sawara Kiri is about to leave the village."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Saizo was suddenly stunned.

"how do you know?"

"I naturally have my own channels." Uchiha Setsuna's voice became increasingly gentle. "In another seven days, he will return to the front line of the Land of Lightning due to some matters. He will probably be held back by some people for one to two days."

"If you can seize this time and break into the Senju residence in one go, you can capture Sawara Kiri's sister and Tsunade's adopted daughter."

"In order to avoid the consequences, even if we can't get Sawara Kiri to join our side, we can at least make him stand neutral."

"To be a ninja, you have to do whatever it takes."

When Sarutobi Saizo heard the news, his already wrinkled face couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes showed a very excited glow, but he was still worried and confirmed again:
"Are you telling the truth?"

"How to be sure?"

"You don't need to confirm, you just need to prepare." Uchiha Setsuna left the message and turned around, "After you finish this, we will discuss the next step."

"After all, you don't want the Sarutobi clan to be defeated by you, right?"

Uchiha Setsuna glanced at him one last time, smiled threateningly, and quickly walked away.

Only Sarutobi Saizo was left standing there, looking at him for a long time.

Seems to be struggling.

Sarutobi Saizo actually had no choice at all.

Waiting to die and dying quickly are both essentially a process of death.

It is precisely because of this key point that Uchiha Setsuna's proposal seems so fatal.

Right now, the biggest tiger standing in their way is the young man named Sawara Kiri.

As long as you can control the other party, then there will be room for struggle for everything else.

Uchiha Setsuna walked towards the clan's territory while thinking in his mind.

As for whether Sawara Kiri would be like those heroes in history, completely disregarding the life and death of the last member of his family and killing the entire Sarutobi clan in one go after returning, he had actually considered the question.

However, after searching information from multiple sources, Uchiha Setsuna finally reduced this possibility to a very small level.

According to the information he found, in order to be able to stay in the village for a long time to take care of his sister, Sawara Kiri, who had such terrifying strength, actually stayed dormant in the village for five years after graduating from the Ninja School.

It was not until Yukie Sawara graduated from the Ninja School and had acquired a certain level of self-protection and survival skills that she began to go out with the team.

This level of bond is definitely not something that anyone can match.

more importantly.
After Uchiha Setsuna ordered his men to leave, he walked alone into the deep basement of his house.

In the center of this dark basement, in a formation lit by candles on all four sides, faint chakra flames can be seen.

Uchiha Setsuna formed seals with both hands.

Soon, a slightly blurry chakra humanoid figure appeared in the center of the formation.

It was exactly the appearance of Uchiha Madara.

Almost instantly, Uchiha Setsuna's face revealed an expression of great reverence and fanaticism, and he immediately knelt on the ground:

"Madara-sama!"

He is over 50 years old and has been taken care of as a personal guard by Uchiha Madara since his early years. He is one of the Uchiha who has followed Uchiha Madara for the longest time among all the existing Uchiha.

Naturally, he also inherited Uchiha Madara's will. After hearing the news of Madara's death, he thought he would never see him again in his life.

However, he never expected that after he escaped from the Konoha Prison, Lord Madara contacted him in an unprecedented way and asked him to provide him with various information in Konoha Village, especially related to Sawara Kiri.

After receiving this order, Uchiha Setsuna began to hide.

An old voice came slowly from the other side of the formation, with an indifferent tone:
"How is the result?"

"It went very smoothly, Madara-sama."

Uchiha Setsuna knelt on the ground and responded quickly, "Thanks to your information, Sarutobi Hidden was immediately tempted after receiving the news that Sawara Kiri was about to move."

"I have already told him to contact other ninja clans to prepare."

"Lord Madara, is there anything else I need you to do?"

Uchiha Madara, whose figure was slightly blurred, did not show any extra expression when he heard this. Only his eyes showed some deep thought. He paused for a few seconds before speaking:

"Let's talk about it after we finish this step."

"You did well, Setsuna."

This plain compliment immediately brought tears to the eyes of this man in his 50s, who bowed his head and said:
"I am willing to die for Master Madara."

After a brief exchange, the figure disappeared from the center of the sealing formation.

When Uchiha Setsuna came out, everything returned to normal.

On the other side, Uchiha Madara frowned slightly, seeming a little confused about what was happening.

As early as when he received the news that the Third Raikage was killed in the Sawara Kirei Jinn, he realized that the problems of this new generation of young people were somewhat serious.

Although becoming the Third Raikage of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was not a big problem for him in his prime, it still required some effort.

As a result, according to the information he obtained with the help of Zetsu, Sawara Kiri even used physical skills and an abnormal illusion to defeat the opponent after the special defensive space technique was sealed.

At the same time, the young man was only sixteen years old.

Uchiha Madara asked himself, when he was sixteen years old, he definitely did not have such fighting power.

Naturally, the future of the young man opposite him made him more worried.

To this end, he even activated the hidden card he had planted deep in Konoha at all costs, intending to get a hold of something on Sawara Kiri first.

But everything that happened now gave him the illusion that it was 'too easy'.

Uchiha Madara looked at the ceiling in the distance, frowned and murmured:
"Sahara Kiri, a young man who could keep it secret for five years, would he put his most important trump card so blatantly under other people's noses?"

When the original enemy was a ninja from another village, it was understandable that he simply protected his relatives within the barrier within the village.

But now, his enemies are the ninjas in the village.

Uchiha Madara instinctively smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Almost at the same time.

The Hyuga father and son, who were returning home from the Uchiha clan's territory, also had some minor disagreements because of his previous statement.

Hinata Hiashi followed closely behind his father Hinata Munenobu and seemed to hesitate for a long time.

But seeing that there was no one on the surrounding paths and the guards beside him were quite far away, he finally opened his mouth with questions.

"Father."

"What Chief Sarutobi said in the meeting just now may have been a bit radical, but from the perspective of our ninja clan, isn't what he said just what should be done?"

"Why."

Why didn't you say anything just now?
Hinata Hiashi couldn't understand such a conservative approach.

Hinata Munenobu glanced back at his eldest son, and seeing that he had been holding it in for almost the entire journey, and now that he had finally asked, he felt relieved of some of his worries.

Not too weak.

"Rizu."

Hinata Munenobu turned his head and looked at him: "In your opinion, what is the position of our ninja clan?"

Hiashi was startled by this rhetorical question, and subconsciously said, "Naturally it is blood inheritance, secret techniques, resources and industry."

Hinata Munenobu asked again: "Do you still remember why we, the ninja clan, gathered in this village and became a part of Konoha?"

"Because, the first generation is eager to end the chaos of the Warring States Period?" Hinata Hiashi seemed to be aware of the problem, but he couldn't tell what the problem was, and his tone became more cautious.

"Yes."

Hinata Munenobu sighed deeply: "To put it simply, it's because 'the first generation wanted it this way', it's that simple."

Rizu's expression froze.

Zong Xin's voice did not pause at all: "Whether it is the First World War or the Second World War, in essence, they are just the second and third rounds of rebalancing caused by the uneven distribution of interests and imbalance in status and strength among the five major countries."

"Then, since you didn't agree with this division from the beginning, why was it initially divided into five ninja villages in an ordinary way without any waves?"

"It's because Master Senju Hashirama is strong enough."

Hinata Munenobu paused and looked up at the sky: "It has been forty years since then, and even your father has grown from a child to an old man now."

"During such a long period of time, naturally there are many new ninjas who naturally think that the people of the ninja clan are superior to others, that they are natural ninjas and are truly strong."

"But, when I was young, I really saw what the so-called 'strong man' was like."

At this point, he turned to look at his eldest son, the destined heir of the Hyuga clan: "Do you know? For the first Hokage of the past, whether it was a ninja or a civilian, even the monsters now named Kage, or the tailed beasts that ordinary people could not resist at all."

"In their eyes, we are nothing more than playthings like ants."

Hearing this, Hinata Hiashi's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

He is not some greenhouse flower, but a strong man of the Jonin level who has truly experienced the battlefield.

“Isn’t this something?”

"Too exaggerated?"

Hinata Munenobu couldn't help but smile, as if he understood his thoughts, and said calmly: "Before my father saw it with his own eyes, he also thought it was a rumor, because your grandfather, who fought against the Senju clan during the Warring States Period, that is, my father, always kept this a secret."

"Until I witnessed the battle at the Valley of the End with Nidaime-sama from afar for my father."

"Ugh."

Countless complex emotions and words that I want to express are all melted into the long sigh of this life.

That is the power of God.

It is also a force that cannot be disobeyed.

After hearing this, Hinata Hiashi, who is now only a young man in his twenties, became even more curious about the strong people of that era.

"Anyway, now Sawara Kiri has some of the charm of those two adults."

"Whether you listen to or talk to other people, just don't become their enemy."

Hyuga Munenobu sighed and said, "The reason why we, the Hyuga clan, have been able to survive from a thousand years ago to the present is not only because of our strength, but also because we know the current situation."

not to mention.
He thought to himself, opened his white eyes silently, and looked around himself.

Chakra lights as tiny as fireflies kept lighting up from the surface of tiny insects in the forest one after another, like faint flickering flames.

These tiny bugs had been following them ever since they came out of the Uchiha clan's territory, until what they said just now.

Just after noticing these insects, Hinata Munenori understood in his heart.

No matter whether it is the Uchiha clan or the Sarutobi clan, anyone who has rebellious intentions will probably not win.

Many of the outcomes had been decided long before the meeting began.

At the same time, there were too many people who were as aware of the times as the Hyuga clan, and they acted too quickly.

"."

"You're still one step behind."

Hyuga Muneshi sighed in his heart, and suddenly said to his eldest son who was lost in thought: "Hiashi, don't go to the clan land yet, come with me to the Hokage Building."

"Eh?"

Hinata Hiashi was stunned when he heard this, and was slightly hesitant.

We just finished discussing with others how to fight against the "All-Inclusive Group" and the Ninja Clan Meeting has been over for less than 20 minutes. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to run to the Hokage Building now?

He still had some concerns in his heart.

Hinata Munenobu said helplessly: "I have to go."

"If it's any later, I'm afraid there won't be any seats left."

"what?"
