Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

I hope I'll have some time to slack off at work tomorrow!

Please, God of Slacking Off!!

Chapter 110 Shimura Danzo: Hiruzen, you're too extreme!

"What, you're not convinced?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's dismissive question left Danzo Shimura, who had come to interrogate him, stunned.

Filled with rage, Shimura Danzo was ready to stand on the moral high ground and fiercely criticize Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Who knows, family members?

He worked hard his whole life to climb to the position of Hokage's assistant, but at the age of forty-eight, he still looked like a nobody at Mito-sama's funeral...

Aokiji's act of carrying Mito Uzumaki's coffin stirred up the emotions of many ninja clans and ninjas in Konoha.

But the most intense and stimulating one was none other than Danzo Shimura.

He's almost gone crazy...

Danzo Shimura had always believed that as Hokage's assistant, he was very close to becoming Hokage himself.

He had rendered meritorious service to Konoha, shed blood for the Will of Fire, and made great contributions to the village by leading Root. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, was considered inferior to him by Danzo Shimura.

Without the Roots bearing the burden and moving forward, where would the peaceful life of Konoha Village come from?

He's the one who really gets things done.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's work is all superficial and lacks substance...

In Shimura Danzo's view, the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't designate a candidate for the next Hokage, and why he watched as Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, who had recovered from hemophobia, had some conflicts but didn't mediate them in time, was largely due to him...

Without experiencing a major reshuffling of military achievements during a war, it would indeed be difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi to determine the next Hokage.

After all, with such a powerful Hokage as his assistant, Hiruzen Sarutobi would need to present some evidence to persuade him.

The war was also the opportunity that Shimura Danzo was waiting for. As long as he performed better than Hiruzen Sarutobi's students in the next Shinobi War, he would have a chance to overtake them!

However, Aozumi's funeral and actions at the position of Mito Uzumaki directly shattered Shimura Danzo's illusions.

How can this be considered a lack of confirmation regarding the next Hokage?

This has already determined the next generation!

Danzo Shimura was furious; Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions had gone too far.

He secretly used Tobirama's cells to conduct human experiments, deceived Mito-sama, excluded him from important funerals, and even made decisions on his own without consulting him on matters of utmost importance, such as becoming the future Hokage!

"I'm not convinced?"

Danzo Shimura's face was extremely gloomy. Since Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to back down, he was going to tear off the mask of politeness.

The position of Hokage seemed to be getting further and further away from him, and Danzo Shimura could not bear it.

"How can you expect me to accept this!"

Danzo Shimura's eyes flashed with malice. He suddenly swung his hand, pointing at the photo of Tobirama Senju on the Hokage's office, and roared, "Do you know what you've done, you monkey!"

"At Lady Mito's funeral, you had an Uchiha carry her coffin? Have you lost your mind?!"

"Look at the teacher's picture, look at him!"

"Tell me, have you forgotten what our teacher told us to be wary of the Uchiha clan?!"

Upon hearing the name Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi was visibly taken aback, his gaze shifting to the photograph on the wall.

There, there is a photograph of Tobirama Senju wearing the Hokage hat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at it for a moment with emotion, then shook his head: "Danzo, I have never forgotten my teacher's instructions..."

"I have found the best way to solve the problem of the Uchiha clan, it's just that you don't understand it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was very sincere.

In his view, Aoshui was a product of Tobirama Senju's forbidden technique, containing chakra representing Tobirama's will...

Although Mito Uzumaki was convinced that Aoshui's will belonged to her and seemed to have convinced Tsunade of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not quite agree and recently had new ideas and conclusions.

Since becoming Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi has witnessed Tobirama Senju's previous forbidden techniques, which could be described as enraging the heavens and the people... no, I mean, wildly imaginative. His view of his teacher has become more comprehensive and profound.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's opinion, no one understood Tobirama Senju better than him!

Although Aoshui still seems normal now, as Mito Uzumaki once said, if Tobirama Senju could possess a body, he would have done so long ago. He added that Aoshui should be nurtured and cared for with love...

It sounds like the Will of Fire, but Hiruzen Sarutobi privately believes that Mito Uzumaki's view of Tobirama Senju is too conservative, and that Aozumi's performance is most likely just a temporary illusion!

His teacher would definitely want to possess an Uchiha, not just simply influence them with chakra!

Aozuki's rampage is very likely due to Tobirama Senju's chakra being unleashed...

Hiruzen Sarutobi vividly remembered that the way Aozumi threw out the Flying Thunder God Technique was similar to Tobirama Senju. How could this be considered no problem?

Although Mito Uzumaki told Hiruzen Sarutobi with certainty that Ao-Sui was Ao-Sui.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi has made a decision that goes against his ancestors' wishes. He believes that Aozumi will become more and more like Tobirama Senju sooner or later, and may even become his teacher one day!

Especially recently, there's been some irrefutable evidence that Mito couldn't see...

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was preparing for the funeral, he asked Aozumi whether the Uchiha clan needed to be given a special position.

In that situation, the positioning of each ninja clan member was very particular.

After all, Aozumi seemed to have a good relationship with some members of the Uchiha clan. As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be happy to give him some favors and let Aozumi win over the Uchiha by doing so.

However, Qingshui unexpectedly refused outright, and even demanded that all members of the Uchiha Guard be on duty, with only underage ninjas allowed to participate.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat moved at the time, but after returning home, the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Given Aoshui's gentle nature and sincere Will of Fire, he would never treat his own clan like that. Hiruzen Sarutobi had never seen Aoshui harbor any malice towards any Konoha ninja.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself never considered having the entire Konoha Police Department on duty instead of attending Mito's funeral...

The teacher must have put in a lot of effort!

This extreme flavor was very familiar to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he instantly understood it.

Is Qingshui really Qingshui?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's answer was: Yes.

Qingshui may be Qingshui today, and it may be Qingshui tomorrow.

But next year, the year after, or some other day, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already mentally prepared to see Aokiji call his name slowly with that incredibly familiar, sharp gaze—

"monkey."

Under this line of thinking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude towards Aozumi is also changing.

Let alone carrying Mito Uzumaki's coffin, he rarely even uses his telescope technique to observe Aomizu anymore...

Hiruzen Sarutobi had mixed feelings; he really liked Aozumi.

However, since his own teacher had done such a thing, and for the sake of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only shake his head and say there was nothing he could do.

Danzo Shimura stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi's profile, his anger growing even stronger.

What a hypocritical monkey!

Looking at the teacher's photo, you can still remain unfazed. Do you still lack the Will of Fire within you?

"Hiruzen, you've already gone too far by allowing an Uchiha into the village's master-disciple lineage!"

Danzo Shimura slammed his fist on the table, seething with rage.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't arrived at that time, Aoshui would already be his student. The despicable Hiruzen took the opportunity to imprison him for three months and made an exception to take Aoshui under his wing.

As Shimura Danzo recalled his past with Aomine, his emotions grew increasingly agitated, and he spoke sternly:

"You really think I don't know what you've done?"

"I went there on the day the training ground was sealed off. Does Uchiha Aoshui have the teacher's chakra?"

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly changed.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, Danzo Shimura laughed smugly and continued, "On the one hand, you won't let me do human experiments, but on the other hand, you're doing your research very diligently?"

"Monkey, you're courting death. You've injected Tobirama's cells into Uchiha Aokiji's body to train your own henchmen. It's absolutely insane."

"I already guessed it. You did this to perpetuate your power, forcibly elevating Uchiha Aosui's status through the funeral of Lord Mito, so that all the ninjas in the villages would consider him one of the candidates for Hokage..."

"I'm asking you, how many cursed seals did you place on Uchiha Aomine? How can you be so sure you can control him?"

Danzo Shimura shook his head as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's increasingly dark face.

"Using the teacher's cells to strengthen the Uchiha clan, then using a cursed seal to control him and support a puppet Hokage, you've really got something..."

"Yan and Xiaochun dare not disobey you, and your disciples indulge you, but Konoha still has me, the Hokage, to assist them!"

"No one can be Hokage for a lifetime, Hiruzen."

"It's not too late to turn back now!"

At this moment, Shimura Danzo seemed to be possessed by the light of righteousness, his entire being swept away from the dark aura, and his aura was magnificent!

But deep down, he admired Hiruzen Sarutobi's thought process.

I must say, it's pretty impressive...

As expected of Hiruzen, he accomplished such a ruthless act with ease, leaving even Hiruzen, the Dark Ninja, speechless.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly stood up, his gaze turning icy.

Danzo Shimura's incredibly dark thought process was already becoming unbearable for him.

What is this and what?

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't hold back anymore.

What Hiruzen Sarutobi feared most was what Danzo Shimura would do with this kind of thinking…

Mito Uzumaki repeatedly emphasized that only he, the Hokage, and Tsunade could know the true situation of Aozumi!

If the fact that Aoshui is a product of Tobirama Senju's forbidden technique is exposed, it will deal a devastating blow to the reputation of the Hokage lineage, and may even shake the very foundation of the Will of Fire, causing consequences more terrifying than a war.

Hiruzen Sarutobi deeply agreed.
