Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 58 Tobirama, why did he choose Hiruzen Sarutobi?

calm down!

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Faced with Uchiha Nan, a member of the Uchiha clan, Tobirama Senju's incredibly intelligent mind began to work at high speed.

I am now extremely weak, with only a fraction of my former strength remaining. Forget about using the Flying Thunder God Technique; even sensing spatial fluctuations is incredibly difficult for me.

The flow of chakra was obstructed, and various forbidden techniques could not be activated.

Trying to defeat Uchiha Nan on his own is basically wishful thinking.

He needs help, and more intelligence.

"Mito, what did you do to Mito!"

"Mito won't just stand by and watch you kill Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Tobirama Senju's cold voice rang out, wanting to ascertain Mito Uzumaki's whereabouts. If Uchiha Nan had also killed Mito, then dealing with Uchiha Nan would be harder than climbing to heaven.

"Lord Tobirama, is this how you see me?"

Do you think I would harm Lady Mito?

Uchiha Nan showed an innocent expression, indicating that he had not done anything excessive to Uzumaki Mito, although the matter of slapping Uzumaki Mito's face should be ruled out first.

Honestly, Uchiha Nan had no intention of killing Uzumaki Mito. If he had killed her, the Senju clan would most likely have turned against him, and internal strife would have erupted immediately.

"Hmph, you evil brat from the Uchiha clan wouldn't dare."

Tobirama Senju's expression relaxed slightly. He was genuinely afraid that Mito Uzumaki had also been killed by Nan Uchiha, even though the possibility was very low.

But considering that the person in front of him was an Uchiha, he had to be worried. The Uchiha's brain circuits are different from those of normal people, and he couldn't use normal people's thinking to look at Uchiha Nan.

"And Lady Mito didn't stop me from killing Hiruzen Sarutobi, she was watching from the side."

Uchiha Nan's next sentence made Senju Tobirama's expression change.

"You wicked brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Mito won't stand by and watch you kill the Third Hokage I've chosen!"

Tobirama Senju immediately rebuked him. He trusted his sister-in-law, Mito Uzumaki, enough to believe that she would help Hiruzen Sarutobi become the Third Hokage.

If anything unexpected happens, there's only one possibility: it's Uchiha Nan who's interfering!

"It was definitely you who caused trouble in Konoha! You're nothing but a troublemaker in Konoha! Mito wouldn't disobey my dying wish!"

Tobirama Senju was absolutely confident in this.

"Lord Tobirama, that's not a very good analogy. If I'm the troublemaker, then what are the others in Konoha?"

Uchiha Nan's simple remark instantly darkened Senju Tobirama's face.

"Shut up!"

"How dare they compare the leaves of the tree to such filthy things!"

Those evil brats from the Uchiha clan are truly annoying. I was just giving an example, and Uchiha Nan immediately jumped on the bandwagon, actually calling all the hard work he and his older brother had put in their lives "shit."

"Stop rambling on and on!"

Tell me everything!

"What did you do to Mito that made her watch helplessly as you killed Hiruzen?"

Tobirama Senju didn't want to waste any more words with Uchiha Nan on this issue. He was eager to know what Uchiha Nan had done to make Uzumaki Mito change her mind and go against the will he left behind.

"I didn't do anything."

Uchiha Nan shrugged, indicating that he wouldn't take the blame for this.

Uchiha Nan could sense Mito Uzumaki's attitude. Although she outwardly supported Hiruzen Sarutobi becoming the Third Hokage, she actually only regarded Hiruzen Sarutobi as a pawn, a pawn to test her.

"impossible!!"

Tobirama Senju's emotions were in turmoil, and his recently regained rationality was beginning to slip away.

"Why can't it be impossible?"

"You're so optimistic about Hiruzen Sarutobi? You're so sure Mito Uzumaki will support Hiruzen Sarutobi becoming Hokage?"

"Don't forget, Lady Mito has a son, and Momoma Senju's strength and abilities are no less than Hiruzen Sarutobi's."

Uchiha Nan countered, "Thinking about it carefully, you'll know who Uzumaki Mito, as a mother, would help."

"You, you."

"Mito wouldn't be that narrow-minded."

At this point, Tobirama Senju seemed a little insecure. If it came to Momoma Senju, it would be understandable that Mito didn't support Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Lord Tobirama, I'm actually quite curious too. Why didn't you choose Momoma Senju to become Hokage, but instead chose Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"If it is Senju Momoma who is chosen, I am afraid I will not become Hokage so easily. I may have to launch a coup to take the position of Third Hokage from Senju Momoma."

Uchiha Nan was somewhat puzzled, unable to understand Tobirama Senju's thoughts. The anime could be attributed to Kishimoto's original design.

But for Uchiha Nan, everything in the Naruto world was real; they were all living, breathing people with their own thoughts.

If Tobirama Senju had actually chosen Momoma Senju as Hokage at the last minute, then Momoma Senju wouldn't have had the same weaknesses as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi abandoned the Hokage and fled, neglecting his duty as the Hokage's bodyguard. This is a major stain that cannot be washed away.

Not to mention Senju Momoma's background. He comes from the Senju clan and is the young patriarch of the Senju clan, possessing powerful family influence and political prestige that the Senju clan has accumulated over two generations.

If Tobirama Senju leaves a will instructing Hiruzen Sarutobi to deliver a message back to Momoma Senju, making him the Third Hokage, then Momoma Senju's succession to the Hokage position would be flawless, legitimate, and without any room for attack.

If Uchiha Nan wants to become Hokage, the only way is through a coup, which will increase the difficulty several times over.

A coup is a rebellion. If Momoma Senju becomes Hokage, he can directly order the Anbu and other Konoha ninja clans to encircle and annihilate the Uchiha.

To think that the Uchiha clan could defeat Konoha is simply wishful thinking. Uchiha Nan wouldn't do something so stupid. He'll probably continue to lie low, find an opportunity to kill Senju Momoma, and then become Hokage naturally.

But none of this happened; Tobirama Senju chose Hiruzen Sarutobi as the successor to the Third Hokage.

"Hmph, what do you know, you wicked brat!"

"I did all of this for Konoha, for Konoha's future."

"Someone like you wouldn't understand."

Tobirama Senju responded to Uchiha Nan's question with a sarcastic remark.

That's really a terrible attitude.

However, Uchiha Nan was not angry. The stereotype of Tobirama Senju in her mind had already raised Uchiha Nan's tolerance to a higher level.

To throw out a few sarcastic remarks is already considered mild.

If it weren't for the control provided by the Impure World Reincarnation, Tobirama Senju would have already been fighting to the death.
