Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

I didn't manage to update regularly as I mentioned before. I overestimated the difficulty of writing 10,000 words a day after starting work. I'm really sorry!

Although I was caught by my boss and had to work overtime, I really couldn't do it. All I can do is sincerely bow to you readers, in the Tobirama Senju version!

OR2!!!!!

As for the update time, it's hard to say once I start working. Sometimes I inevitably have to work overtime, sigh.

Maintaining a daily output of 10,000 words is already my best effort. As readers of my previous book know, I used to be a writer of 4,000 words a day.

Therefore, I can only thank everyone for their love of this book and Qing Shui!

I'll try my best to keep writing 10,000 words a day. Goodnight everyone!

Chapter 120 The Finance Minister and Intelligence Minister of Root

"Qingshui, what did you say? You're going to be in charge of the root from now on?"

Uchiha Yatsuhoku's mind was a bit muddled for a moment, and he muttered to himself, "Let me calm down..."

Uchiha remembered that he had come to take the blame for Aokiji.

Even the Anbu, who are directly under the Hokage, are wary of Root. These madmen have Danzo Shimura backing them up for everything they do, and they're like a pack of mad dogs, ready to bite anyone they can catch.

Aoshui had actually taken action against a minor leader of Root. In the eyes of the Eighth Hokage Uchiha, that old dog Shimura Danzo, who was targeting the Uchiha clan, would definitely make Aoshui give him an explanation and would not let the matter rest.

"Seisui, did you make Shimura Danzo resign?"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha seemed to have lost his mind; after uttering a few incoherent words, he hurriedly shook his head and said in a tense whisper:

"Seisui, you didn't use genjutsu to control Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, did you?"

"Don't be confused, they are all powerful ninjas, and Konoha has many sensory ninjutsu techniques, so genjutsu can't hide them!"

Uchiha Hachimoku couldn't understand how Aozuki had become the leader of Root...

If you could get promoted for hitting someone, the Uchiha clan would have become Hokage long ago!

"What are you saying, Yashiro?"

Qingshui shook his head helplessly and handed him the letter of appointment bearing the Hokage's special insignia:

"The actions of Konoha ninja, even for someone like me who will become the future leader of Root, must conform to the Will of Fire..."

"Using illusions to control the village's Kage is such a crude thing that it's impossible for it to happen in Konoha."

The Yamanaka clan, the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, the Kurama clan, the Uzumaki orphan, the all-around Jonin…

It's unknown how many Konoha ninja possess powerful sensory abilities.

Uchiha Hachiho's hands trembled as he stared intently at the order for Aokiji to take over as leader of Root, then slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

This is so exciting!

Although Uchiha Hachimoku didn't know how Aokiji had done it, he experienced firsthand what it meant to be ruthless and unpredictable, and what it felt like to act without reason...

How cool!

"Eighth Hokage, this is the Hokage's order. Shimura Danzo used Root to collude with ninjas from other villages to frame Hatake Sakumo. He has now been dismissed and is under investigation. I will take over as the leader of Root, and Tsunade will take over as the Hokage's assistant."

Qingshui patted Uchiha Yatsuhoshi on the shoulder and said with great emotion:

"The new winds of the times have blown in, and those old things that do not conform to the Will of Fire must naturally be eliminated..."

Uchiha Yatsuho nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Aoshui, you are the one who best embodies the Will of Fire!"

Even so, Uchiha Hachimoku was still using his brain.

How could this possibly be related to the Will of Fire?

This is clearly an internal power struggle within the Konoha leadership!

Danzo's sudden death, Tsunade's rise to power, and the support for Aokiji—it all sounds so pleasing to the ear!

Considering Aozumi's position in the funeral procession alongside Mito Uzumaki, and Danzo Shimura's furious expression amidst the crowd, the Eighth Hokage finally understood…

Hiruzen Sarutobi is starting to eliminate opposition forces against Aomine's future Hokage position!

"I never expected this, I never expected this..."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was unusually excited and moved: "Hiruzen Sarutobi was so decisive? I thought he would hesitate for a while!"

"This swift and decisive approach is truly surprising; it's almost like that bastard Tobirama Senju!"

Tobirama Senju frowned. How could this evil Uchiha speak like that?

Aokiji chuckled inwardly. The Uchiha clan seemed to possess an inexplicable keen sense of perception; regardless of their intelligence, they could accurately sense Tobirama Senju's mannerisms.

Perhaps, this is what bonds are?

“Eighth Hokage, watch your words. You should call the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju…” Aoshizu cleared his throat and corrected the Eighth Hokage’s incorrect address.

Uchiha Yatsuhoku chuckled and nodded, "Yes, yes, Lord Tobirama..."

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly. The way the evil Uchiha clan acted from arrogance to obsequiousness was laughable!

But thinking of Aozumi's correction, Tobirama Senju was still quite pleased.

Listen to this, Lord Tobirama Senju!

This shows that Aozumi wasn't dwelling on the mistakes of his two traitorous disciples, Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and still respected him...

"Yashiro, are there any clansmen available in the guard unit recently?"

Qing Shui said softly, "I'm going to purge a portion of the original members of the Root Clan. If there are suitable and reliable clansmen, I'd like to bring them into the Root Clan..."

"I'm planning to establish a Uchiha Root squad and have you as its captain. Are you interested?"

Uchiha Yatsuhoku rubbed his hands together excitedly: "I'm so interested, Aoshui!"

"What's so great about working at the Security Department? All we do is deal with those trivial village matters every day. We Uchiha haven't left the village for a mission in ages, we're itching to get back to work!"

“I know many of my people who would definitely be interested!”

Aoshiki slowly shook his head: "Yachika, you are now a Root ninja, you need to change your mindset."

"The Root is the root of Konoha, the darkness that eradicates the enemy for the sake of the village's light. We are looking for loyal, brave, and capable clansmen, not stragglers who have infiltrated through family connections. Do you understand what I mean?"

"This matter must be done secretly, and the downfall of the former Root leader, Shimura Danzo, must also be kept secret. The Uchiha who are on my side are already direct descendants of the Hokage line, so we must learn to think about problems from a broader perspective."

Uchiha Hachimoku's expression suddenly changed in surprise.

He was still thinking that once he returned to the Uchiha clan's territory, he would find an opportunity to vigorously publicize the downfall of Shimura Danzo!

However, Qing Shui did not do that; instead, he viewed the issue from a higher-up's perspective.

After all, the downfall of the Hokage's advisor is a major event, even a scandal. With the Hatake Sakumo controversy still ongoing, it could easily add fuel to the fire and ignite public opinion once again.

The best approach is to let it cool down.

Uchiha Yatsuho nodded solemnly: "Aozuki, I understand!"

Senju Tobirama listened to Aoshui's arrangements with great satisfaction, feeling extremely pleased.

This is hardly the demeanor of a leader of the roots.

This reflects the mindset and perspective of a Hokage!

Even when the matter was settled, Qing Shui did not kick a man when he was down. Instead, he broke free from the shackles of emotion and began to devise a plan from the perspective of overlooking the entire Hidden Leaf Village, without caring about momentary pleasure.

Thinking of Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose troubles even the Hatake Sakumo incident couldn't quell, Tobirama Senju shook his head.

The differences between people are still too great...

"Will this cause a shortage of manpower at the security headquarters?"

Qingshui said slowly, "The Konoha Security Department is also an important part of Konoha. Will bringing some clansmen into Root affect its normal operation?"

Uchiha Yatsuhoku grinned maliciously: "Aoshui, leave this to me. If that Uchiha Fugaku doesn't want to save face, then I'll save face for him!"

In the past, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha would have been somewhat wary of Fugaku Uchiha, after all, he was still the head of the Uchiha clan.

But now, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha has transformed into one of the squad leaders of Root!

The gap in status between the two has been bridged…

"Go do it, Yashiro..."

Qingshui patted him on the shoulder encouragingly: "I believe in you, don't let me down!"

"Yes, Lord Qing Shui!"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha shouted with great vigor and quickly ran towards the Uchiha Guard.

The smells of iron fire, rice fire, medicine, and even his second uncle, Uchiha En, who was now retired and living at home…

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha quickly began to plan his way up, selecting the most powerful and discreet members of his clan and preparing to recruit them one by one, making them the first armed force under Qing Shui's command!

The stark contrast of the Uchiha becoming a member of Root would be incredibly stimulating for every Uchiha...

Aozumi slowly walked towards Sakumo Hatake's house.

He was very interested in what kind of attitude Hatake Sakumo, who had attempted suicide once, would have after being saved by him.

Do you still want to die?

#

The Hatake family.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Aoshui who had come to visit, a strange look flashing in his eyes, and slowly bowed deeply to the ground—

"I can never thank you enough for saving my life, Lord Qingshui!"

Aomizu quickly helped Sakumo Hatake up: "You flatter me, Sakumo."

Sakumo Hatake shook his head, looking at Kakashi with a sigh:

"At the moment I plunged the knife into my chest, I didn't regret it, but when I thought of Kakashi, I did regret it, but it was too late..."

"In my daze, I couldn't help but wonder how Kakashi would live after losing his father?"

Sakumo Hatake gently stroked Kakashi's head.

During the time he was awake, Kakashi kept a close eye on Sakumo Hatake, never leaving his side.

Even when Sakumo Hatake said he wanted to go to the toilet, Kakashi firmly shook his head in refusal, unless he went with him!
