Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 159 Difficult? It's simple, just become the clan leader!

In Konoha, two people, one tall and one short, walked side by side. Their clothes were embroidered with the logo of a round fan, and the villagers gave way as they passed by.

Zhi Shui frowned slightly.

He glanced at the rice fire and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

This phenomenon is definitely not a good thing, but the clan members all think it is a symbol of the Uchiha's majesty and power, and they are even complacent about it.

They've been basking in their family's glory for far too long!

Shisui sighed inwardly.

At that moment, he looked up and saw three young, unfamiliar children walking towards him on the street.

Unlike the others, they weren't afraid of the two of them at all, and acted as if they didn't see them.

Uchiha Inahisa frowned.

Upon seeing this, Shisui immediately asked, "Who are they?"

"The Ibri clan joined Konoha a while ago, but I haven't seen them much before. Hmph, as expected of outsiders, they have no manners at all."

Uchiha Inahisa said dismissively.

Zhi Shui whispered, "Brother Dao Huo, you can't say that. They're not afraid of us, and they happen to be close to the guards. Isn't this a perfect opportunity for us to befriend them?"

"Does the Uchiha clan need to befriend others?"

Inahisa looked down at him with an expression that said, "Shisui, were you brainwashed by those teachers at school? What Will of Fire? Just listen to it and don't take it seriously. It's still the Hokage lineage that calls the shots."

His words shocked Shisui, leaving him speechless.

The Will of Fire...

Although he didn't quite agree with some of the arguments, there was no doubt that as members of Konoha, they had to abide by their rules.

Zhi Shui understood more and more.

Why did he always feel that his family was full of contradictions?

As Kyohiko said.

The clan members do not consider Konoha to be a village or a collective, but rather as the "property" of a certain group of people.

As one of the founders, the Uchiha should be one of the masters of Konoha!

however.

Decades have passed, and even the Senju clan has disappeared. Tsunade, as the rightful successor of the Senju lineage, no longer mentions the surname "Forest Senju".

where are they?

The Uchiha clan is still here!

Zhi Shui could see the problem, but couldn't think of a solution, so he could only sigh inwardly.

Dao Huo walked through the street without causing any trouble for those people, but he gave them a cold glance as he passed by.

Afterwards, Xuejian shrank back and whispered, "That person was so fierce!"

Tianzang immediately turned around and looked at the rice fire that had already passed.

Upon seeing the family crest, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Which family has the fan-shaped crest?"

"The Uchiha clan is one of the most powerful clans in the village."

Yamato said in a low voice.

The two immediately fell silent, trembling with fear.

They had certainly heard of the Uchiha clan.

A clan renowned throughout the ninja world, with Madara Uchiha being on par with Hashirama Senju, a truly formidable figure.

That's not surprising, given that they belong to the same clan.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Tea Street. There are lots of shops there where you can buy flowers, drink tea, and even see the Hokage Rock!"

"it is good."

……

After crossing the street, Shisui made an excuse to say goodbye to Inori.

Then he headed toward the lake next to the guard post.

The kunai has been stuck here for several days, but no one has responded. I don't know if he came today.

"Perhaps he won't come again."

Shisui felt uneasy, fearing that today would be another disappointment.

but.

When he arrived at the lake, he saw a figure sitting under a tree.

"Huh?! Did you go out of the village on a mission?"

When Shisui saw Kyohiko again, he immediately understood why the other man hadn't been seen for so many days; he must have been away on a mission and hadn't been in the village.

Otherwise, why would it reappear now?

"Yes, I went out to carry out a simple mission, and it went fairly smoothly."

Jingyan smiled.

He looked at Zhishui: "Did you need something?"

"I can identify the problems within myself and my family, but I can't think of any solutions."

Zhi Shui sighed, "Sometimes, I think it's better to know less. I wasn't in so much pain before, but now..."

"Difficult? It's simple, just become the clan leader."

Jingyan said calmly.

Shisui paused for a moment, then said, "Me, the clan leader? But I'm just a child..."

"This is the ninja world, a place where there are missions and deaths every day. Even a child, if powerful enough, can wield real power."

Jingyan said calmly.

Shisui wanted to refute, but considering Kyohiko's current status, he was speechless for a moment.

He did not know the other party's specific position.

but.

Without a doubt, his power and status in Konoha were considerable.

Shisui couldn't help but ask, "Can I do it too?"

"You're going to deny yourself without even trying? If that's the case, then you certainly don't have that ability."

Jingyan's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Shisui, being a child, couldn't accept being rejected, and immediately strained her neck to say, "Of course I can too!"

"Then go and do it, do it for me, do it for the Uchiha people, do it for the rest of Konoha."

Kyohiko smiled and said, "The Uchiha are not just them; there are also people like you and your grandfather."

"My grandfather..."

Uchiha Shisui was initially surprised, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

Uchiha Kagami.

He had never met Uchiha Kagami.

but.

Through books and notes, Shisui knew his grandfather very well.

He followed the Second Hokage and became the only Uchiha in the Second Hokage's guard.

He was a true genius who understood the Will of Fire and knew how to lead the Uchiha clan.

It is a pity.

Kagami Uchiha died young, unable to lead the Uchiha clan onto a better path, causing them to sink deeper and deeper into despair.

"Well then, good luck."

Jingyan got up and prepared to leave.

But Shisui called out again, "Wait!"

Jingyan turned his head.

Shisui hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I'd like to ask if I can graduate early?"

"Um?"

Jingyan looked at him in surprise, then did some calculations and said, "I remember you've only been enrolled for two or three months, and you're already thinking about graduating?"

"I've taught myself everything the school teaches. The academic subjects are too simple; they're not as profound as the books I've read."

"That's what Zhi Shui said."

Jingyan remained silent for a moment.

This guy is a true genius. He taught himself his lessons at the age of five and has learned almost everything from the ninja academy.

No wonder he was able to become one of the ninjas guarding the eastern front during the war so early on.

of course.

Shisui must have been eight years old by then.

The original war continued until Itachi was four years old, only the large-scale conflicts decreased significantly.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "In a non-war situation, it's definitely impossible to graduate early, and there's no need for it."

"All right."

Shisui accepted reality.

"If you feel that your current coursework is not challenging enough, you can ask your teacher to let you take the exam early and then choose courses that interest you."

Jing Yan said.

The current education system is not particularly difficult for ninjas from clans, let alone Shisui, who was from the Uchiha clan.

even.

Within the Uchiha clan, he was also an outstanding individual among his peers.

"yes!"

Zhi Shui nodded immediately.

Jingyan Fei Lei Shen left.

He is very busy.

The transformation of the Ibri clan is nearing completion. As a reward, his smoke-transformation technique has been upgraded from "proficient" to "masterful".

He needs to try more uses.

……

With an additional batch of intelligence ninjas needing to undergo training in the Konoha Anbu, Yakushi Nonou's vacation came to an end.

She looked at the twenty or thirty people below and said, "With your bloodline limits, you are naturally gifted as intelligence ninjas, and you don't need much training or reinforcement."

"So, the first thing you need to learn is the local language and customs, so that your identity isn't revealed by your accent..."

Nono patiently explained the key points.

She knew that the twenty or thirty people in front of her were all Jingyan's treasures, and she had also witnessed their abilities.

Ibrahim looked bewildered: "How many languages ​​do I need to learn?"

"Initially, you only need to learn about the places where you need to work, but later you'll definitely need to master the local customs, culture, and language habits of all places. Otherwise, how can you perfectly infiltrate and gather intelligence?"

Yakushi Nono said.

Then, she paused for a second and said, "In addition, after you have undergone adaptation training in terms of capabilities over the next month, you will be going to carry out observation missions."

"An observation mission?"

Everyone looked at Nono with confusion.

What is this?

I've never heard of that before!

According to the Ibri clan, intelligence ninjas are usually used for infiltrating and gathering intelligence. Why would they need to learn so much?

"Yes, it's an observation task. For example, you need to observe merchants, woodcutters, or samurai closely to understand their daily lives, their tone of voice, their style of speaking, and so on."

Yakushi Nonou nodded.

These are some of the key points mentioned in Jingyan's teaching material outline.

In the past, their ninjas rarely paid attention to these details. But upon closer examination, the fact that intelligence ninjas were exposed was not only due to their own ninjutsu being discovered, but also because of their lack of attention to detail.

As a spy from the Root organization, Yakushi Nonou knows this line of work all too well.

Many people are exposed and hunted down because they lose due to trivial details, and there are many such cases within their organizations.

only.

For Danzo, only those who survived were his true subordinates; those who died were simply gone.

Anyway...

In their organization, death happens every day.

Yakushi Nonou scanned the room, paused, and recounted her past.

Because of the cursed seal, she couldn't reveal too many secrets.

These are not included.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

"The lord values ​​us spies, which is why he painstakingly wrote this textbook. It's a small matter if you lose your lives, but if you ruin the lord's plans, how will the Ibri clan explain themselves?"

Yakushi Nono spoke in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone dared not be negligent any longer.

……

More than a month has passed quickly.

A lot has happened in the past month or so.

Uchiha Shisui skipped a grade.

He scored near-perfect marks on all his basic exams; under such conditions, he could almost graduate directly during wartime.

And now.

His result was—

If you skip to the third year, you can choose a major that interests you to pursue, but you can't graduate yet.

Within the Ibri clan, all those involved in the Dark Division dispersed and entered mission mode.

but.

For Konoha.

The most important thing is Danzo's actions.

Inside the meeting room, Tsunade tried her best to appear serious and not reveal too many other emotions, while those present at the meeting...

Three advisors.

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Kyohiko.

These six individuals are among those in Konoha who are truly involved in decision-making.

"I've finished my report."

Jingyan rolled up the scroll.

He was only talking about the intelligence he had recently gathered—

Danzo recruited members of the Fuma clan, and also recruited some members of the Kamisumiryu clan from the Land of Earth to serve him.

It can be said.

Danzo has now once again gathered a large number of forces.

Tsunade said, "My opinion is that we must come up with a plan to eliminate Danzo as soon as possible. What do you three advisors think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled helplessly: "This old friend of mine, he really is the kind of person who would do something like this."

Xiaochun remained silent as she turned to her new room.

but.

She didn't look well.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Danzo to actually go this far.

On the contrary, it was Mitokado inflammation.

He looked around and said, "There's not much to say. Danzo's actions betrayed the village and will deepen the rift between us and the Daimyo and the nobles. In the long run, this will not benefit Konoha or the Land of Fire."

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

Mitokaku inflammation.

This old... senior, how could he say such a thing?

She nodded in agreement, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although the old man spoke just now, he did not express a clear opinion and his words were rather ambiguous.

She doesn't quite agree.

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and said, "You are the Hokage, and Yan has already stated that as long as the four of you vote, you don't need my and Koharu's support at all."

Tsunade smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiraiya said, "Wait!"

Ok?

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya.

After raising his hand, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and said, "I think that in the current situation, starting an internal conflict would not be good for us."

"Who said we should start an internal conflict now?"

Jingyan looked at the teacher.

He knew that Jiraiya was considering the entire Land of Fire, but...

"What the Hokage means is that we need to come up with a plan first and discuss how to deal with him."

He paused.

Koharu Utatane immediately said, "This matter involves His Majesty the Daimyo and noble factions, so assassination is definitely out of the question."

Orochimaru smiled without saying a word.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and said, "Kyohiko, Orochimaru, what are your plans?"

"We must first create chaos in the Land of Water."

Kyohiko said, "The Anbu will work hard on this. I will focus my resources on the Land of Water and try to get the job done as quickly as possible."

"If the Land of Water descends into chaos, it will have a legitimate reason to exist, but we need to be wary of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Orochimaru pointed to the upper right corner of the map, "I visited Kumogakure back then. After the Gold and Silver Brothers' rebellion, they became very united. They also have some past offenses, so we must be wary."

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

The Hidden Cloud Village is their ally, but they haven't forgotten about the abduction of Kushina.

Tsunade asked, "Jiraiya, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Sunagakure will not recover for at least ten years, but we need to be wary of Onoki in the north. When it comes to dealing with Danzo, we must fully consider the manpower and tactics we can use."

Jiraiya said.

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Don't worry, as long as we can get through in name only, we old guys won't need to lift a finger to deal with Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly.

Old man?

Who are you talking about?

How old are these three? They call themselves old guys. Who are they anyway?

but.

Given Kyohiko and Minato's abilities, Danzo would indeed be easy to deal with, provided the daimyo agrees.

in particular--

That technique I recently submitted!

The Flying Thunder Formation technique, and a spatial stabilizing barrier.

Kyohiko and Minato are truly geniuses. It is Konoha's greatest fortune that they were born in the same era. Together, they are more than capable of dealing with Danzo.

"That's settled then."
