Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

He really has no one else available.

If only I hadn't attacked Sakumo Hatake back then.

He only meant to suppress the other party's reputation in the village, which is why he tolerated the villagers' criticism of him.

Unexpectedly, this guy was unable to handle the responsibility and committed suicide.

He felt extremely dissatisfied with the thought that if he couldn't even handle such a small setback, what kind of ninja would he be?

This incident wasn't leaked by the Uchiha clan, so it must have been leaked by the Hyuga clan. They're truly infuriating clans.

At that moment, the door to the Hokage's office opened, and a person with bandages wrapped around his right cheek and right hand, leaning on a cane, walked in and sat down directly on the sofa.

The Third Hokage is also in a very bad mood now that he sees this person.

What brings you here?

Danzo did indeed have a slight smile on his face as he spoke.

"The real reasons for the failure of the peace talks have spread throughout the village, and naturally, they have reached my ears as well."

"I told you long ago, if we had taken action against the Uchiha clan sooner, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

The two of them conspired to smear the Uchiha clan's reputation in the village, causing the villagers to develop feelings of hatred and loathing towards the Uchiha clan.

It's because the Uchiha clan's power is too great; they even want to take over the Hokage position in the village.

This is not only something the Third Hokage didn't want to see, but also something Danzo couldn't tolerate.

Even if the Third Hokage falls from power, he should be the next successor.

The Third Hokage was somewhat speechless at this old guy. This person always wanted to resort to violence without considering the consequences. Although he disliked the Uchiha clan, he should at least have a legitimate reason for doing so.

"The Uchiha clan did not rebel; the village should not have taken action."

Danzo, however, showed no disdain.

"The Uchiha clan will never truly submit to us; the Uchiha clan is a giant powder keg."

"The longer we delay taking action, the greater the price we will pay. It's better to act sooner and gather the strength of the entire village to wipe out the Uchiha clan."

"Only by eliminating this destabilizing factor can we maintain the stability of Konoha Village."

Back then, Madara Uchiha betrayed Konoha, and his teacher, the Second Mizukage, was wary of the Uchiha clan, entrusting them with the guard force in order to guard against their rebellion.

They are no longer satisfied with the power of the guards; they even want to seize the position of Hokage. This is why he joined forces with the Third Hokage to suppress the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage heard Danzo's words and did not agree with him taking action at this time.

It's not time to kill the Uchiha clan yet.

Because this clan is simply too powerful.

He now has two young geniuses from the Uchiha clan under his control, both of whom have already been brainwashed.

What's giving him a headache right now is the troublesome Uchiha Ryosuke.

If things had gone according to plan, he could have easily subdued the Uchiha clan and brought them under his control.

It would be incredibly foolish to start a war with the Uchiha clan, especially now.

That would cause Konoha to fall apart, which is not what he wants to see.

With Konoha falling apart, what use is he, the Third Hokage?

They might even be left with a lasting infamy, and how would they face their predecessors in the afterlife?

He said it in an annoyed tone.

"If we attack them now, will you go and fight them in the war against Kumogakure?"

"The people of Kumogakure have been provoked by the Uchiha, and there's a high probability they'll return to retaliate."

Danzo's pupils constricted and his expression changed upon hearing the Third Hokage's words.

Let him deal with the ninjas of Kumokage Village.

Sorry, but he prefers to stir up trouble behind the scenes.

"Alright then, let the Uchiha clan fight against the Cloud Village and deplete their strength. That will make things easier to deal with later."

He then got up and left.

The Third Hokage was somewhat dissatisfied with Danzo.

He didn't even say goodbye to you when he left.

They really don't take the Third Hokage seriously. Indeed, they've given Danzo too much power over the years.

As an advisor and elder of Konoha Village, the Root organization under his command has grown increasingly powerful, and is now no longer inferior to his Anbu (Hokage's ANBU).

It wasn't because they were old classmates, but also because the other party could be said to be a sharp weapon in his hands.

He delegated many inconvenient tasks to the other party; otherwise, given the other party's attempt to assassinate him in the past, the Third Hokage would never have let them go.

He calmed himself down and sat down.

I hope that Uchiha Ryosuke will definitely go to the battlefield, after all, he caused this incident, and I hope that this guy dies in the great battle.

So he has already taken control of the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, including Itachi and Shisui.

From now on, the Uchiha clan will also be under his control, which is a good outcome for both the village and the Uchiha clan.

A bearded, muscular man stood at the entrance of Konoha Village, a broad smile on his face.

"I, Sarutobi Asuma, have returned."

Chapter 82 Red's Refusal

During this period, Sarutobi Asuma served as a bodyguard for the daimyo in the Land of Fire's daimyo mansion.

Through self-cultivation and self-improvement, I have grown a great deal.

My temper is no longer as impatient as it used to be.

Upon returning to the village, the first thing he did was go to the Hokage Building, to the office of the Third Hokage, which was also his father's office.

When the Third Hokage saw this guy, his expression turned sour. How come he's back after only a few months away?

"Why are you back? This job I've assigned you is a very good one."

Previously, they had arranged for the other party to serve as a guard at the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.

This was also to give him a prestigious title, to make a good impression on the Daimyo, and perhaps even to help him become the next Hokage in the future.

Even if things don't go well, when he gets old and can't work anymore, Asuma can still become a high-ranking official in Konoha, which would be enough to protect the Sarutobi clan's position in Konoha.

Sarutobi Asuma said with a smile.

"Didn't I hear that the peace talks between our village and Kumogakure broke down? So I asked the daimyo for leave and came back to see if there was anything I could help with?"

"I'm even capable of going into battle and killing the enemy."

The Third Hokage, upon hearing Asuma's words, began to look at him with new respect.

He seems to have matured a lot, his face has lost much of its childishness, and he knows how to contribute to the village instead of acting impulsively and recklessly for matters of love.

"You don't need to take action this time. The Uchiha and Hyuga clans will handle the fight against Kumogakure if war breaks out."

"Now that you're back, take a few days to rest before going back to report for duty."

How could he possibly send his son to the battlefield?

What kind of place is the battlefield? Even his teacher, the Second Hokage, died in battle.

Not to mention his son, who is so young and impulsive, he is extremely dangerous.

Moreover, with these two clans taking action against Kumogakure, it won't be so easy for Kumogakure to win. A draw would be the best outcome, the most advantageous result for the village.

Asuma was well aware of the discord between the Uchiha clan and the village's higher-ups, including his father.

Since he wasn't asked to fight, he naturally didn't want to help either.

He also had a purpose in coming back this time, which was to see Kurenai Yuhi, his childhood sweetheart.

"Father, then I shall take my leave."

The Third Hokage waved his hand and said.

"Then you should go back and get some rest."

Asuma felt no fatigue at all, and went straight to Kurenai's house after leaving the Hokage's office.

Hong happened to be at home when she heard the knocking at the door. Thinking it was Ryosuke coming to see her, she happily opened the door.

But the person who came was Asuma, and his expression changed, but he forcibly returned to normal.

Asma said with a smile.

"Hong, I'm back. Did you miss me?"

Hong looked helpless and speechless. She didn't know what to say.

She's already a woman with a man, so how could she possibly be thinking about any man other than Ryosuke?

Asuma was also a little disappointed when he saw Kurenai's expression; it seemed that he had left a bad impression on Kurenai in the past.

However, he has changed now.
