Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Everyone was waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's response.

Surprisingly, the Hokage showed no displeasure; instead, he nodded in approval of Danzo Shimura.

"What Danzo is talking about are problems that will actually occur in reality."

"Therefore, our propaganda should not be absolute or claim to be completely controllable. Instead, we should emphasize the contributions of the village to the people who serve as human supporters."

"We need to teach the villagers to distinguish between 'Kushina' and 'Tailed Beasts'."

"In this way, even if some villagers still feel fear, they can still maintain respect."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually turned serious:

"I will talk to Lady Mito and assess Kushina's capacity to withstand the full force of the Nine-Tails' chakra if necessary. If she cannot withstand the entire Nine-Tails' chakra, then we will find a way to reduce it."

"Don't feel bad if you don't seal the entire Nine-Tails, even if you can't use the rest."

"Controllable combat power is true combat power; anything extra is merely an unstable factor."

Danzo Shimura had a blank expression.

Monkey, why don't you just refute it by saying "You are the Hokage"?

After saying all this, do you feel like you have a lot to say?

"We must be clear about one thing: even without the Nine-Tails, the foundation left to Konoha by our predecessors, such as the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Lady Mito, is already solid enough."

"Konoha stands on the shoulders of its predecessors; it doesn't necessarily need Jinchuriki to fight against Jinchuriki."

"As the younger generation, we must also shoulder the responsibility for our predecessors. Lady Mito's existence is invaluable to the village, far surpassing that of a mere Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Does anyone have any questions?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was extremely serious at this moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone present like a knife.

He was completely different from the gentle man he had been just moments before!

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease. While old branches and leaves can certainly provide nourishment for new leaves, their very existence is the most unbreakable foundation of the leaves."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Koharu Utatane, "Koharu, it is crucial that we start with the students at the Ninja Academy and establish a correct understanding of the Will of Fire."

Sacrifice and dedication naturally deserve respect and admiration.

However, it cannot be emphasized indiscriminately.

He, as the Hokage, and the village have a duty to ensure that the ninjas who have sacrificed for the village can rest when they are weak...

This doesn't just refer to Mito Uzumaki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi firmly believed that even if doing so would consume some resources, it would be beneficial for strengthening the village's cohesion and for the Will of Fire to permeate the entire ninja world...

The benefits it brings are immeasurable.

This would also be the Hokage's triple contribution in terms of 'authority', 'diplomacy', and even 'education'.

Besides, who says the ideological front isn't a battlefield?

These things have to be done step by step...

"I understand. I will write a revised outline for the ninja academy's teaching materials as soon as possible, further elaborating on the Will of Fire and the history of the Uzumaki clan."

"Turn to the next room," Xiaochun replied.

She actually had some doubts in her mind. Having been in a high-level position for a long time, the "ninja tool theory" in her mind was still subtly at work.

This is not a concept that can be changed overnight.

However, she was observant and perceptive. Seeing the seriousness with which Hiruzen Sarutobi discussed the issue, Koharu Utatane felt that if she spoke up at this moment…

She's likely to face a furious rebuke that will leave her humiliated!

Several hats are probably about to fly over...

Koharu Utatane glanced at Danzo Shimura, thinking to herself, "Danzo's not saying anything anymore..."

But the next moment, Shimura Danzo spoke up: "Hokage, I agree with the above proposal."

"Let's talk about the Third Raikage... His lightning armor was very troublesome. He withstood the Tailed Beast Ball with his bare body and was still able to get up and fight the Eight-Tails."

"Although I'm confident my Wind Release technique can deal with or even injure him, the enemy will also have ninjas assisting him..."

"If such an enemy were to break into our lines during wartime, the resulting casualties would be unimaginable!"

Danzo Shimura gave a cold smile to himself.

Hiruzen, how should you deal with this move?

You've indeed performed quite well recently in organizing counterattacks, adjusting systems, and uniting people's hearts and minds...

But don't forget, you are the Hokage, which means you are Konoha's biggest target!

Even if Konoha's revenge against Kumogakure is successful under your command.

However, the heroic response shown by the Third Raikage will also have a repercussions for you as a Kage.

The enemy's shadow is so valiant, and what about you?

Hiruzen, I know your information!

Given your style, you probably don't have a good way to deal with the Third Raikage, right?

I am the strongest Wind Release ninja in Konoha!

Although this combo didn't have any real impact on Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige.

But it will make one's importance stand out.

Furthermore, Danzo Shimura had a vague feeling that although Hiruzen Sarutobi was far from being able to command the law in Konoha, his recent momentum made him feel that something was amiss.

Try to interrupt him with your imposing manner...

Don't try to be too comprehensive!

"Although he is a potential enemy, the Third Raikage is indeed an extraordinary person. To have mastered the Lightning Armor to such a level is unprecedented in the history of the ninja world."

Hiruzen Sarutobi affirmed, "He is indeed difficult to deal with. If we go to war with Kumogakure, Danzo, your Wind Release techniques will be a perfect counter to him..."

Danzo Shimura smiled smugly to himself, but his brows furrowed into a deep frown: "Sigh, for the sake of the village, I will train with all my might!"

"But the battlefield is complex, and I may not necessarily be able to go toe-to-toe with the Third Raikage."

At this point, the ninjas present, who were not fools, all realized what was going on.

This is subtly implying that the Hokage isn't as strong as the Raikage in one-on-one combat...

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Danzo Shimura's evolution is really fast; he can even talk in circles now...

Instead of hiding in that dark, gloomy place at the root, it ran to the teacher's side, and its mind definitely became much more active!

Jiraiya, standing to the side, was much more direct, his expression quite agitated, as if he were about to slam his fist on the table.

"However, even if the battlefield is too complicated and you can't make it in time, there's no need to worry. I'll assist you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke calmly, but suddenly a dazzling burst of lightning erupted from his body!

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

"And then there's me, the Hokage..."

Danzo Shimura's faint smile froze instantly.

No, are you kidding me?

Meanwhile, the lightning on Hiruzen Sarutobi's body continued to surge, his hair stood on end, and his muscles bulged slightly.

Hyuga Hizashi, who had been silently listening, suddenly felt a stirring in his heart and activated his Byakugan.

He, who had originally intended to deliberately flatter Hiruzen Sarutobi, suddenly narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself from the bottom of his heart:

"It's only been a few days? The Third Generation Master has already activated his physical body to this extent...?"

"Stop praising me, Hijiri." Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled.

"He's far inferior to the Third Raikage. After all, he's been immersed in this art for decades. This technique isn't difficult to learn, but progressing to higher levels requires painstaking effort."

Hiruzen Sarutobi then changed the subject, saying, "But this technique suits me very well. If I practice it for a year, it'll be equivalent to five years of his practice, right? I'll give him a surprise in the next Shinobi World War."

His tone was calm, but his words revealed a rare sharpness!

Jiraiya rubbed his chin repeatedly, grinning as he said, "Master, you always say I'm arrogant..."

"Why don't you give it a try and help your master?" Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, his body crackling with lightning, and gave his mischievous disciple a kind smile.

"Teacher, I was wrong!" Jiraiya slumped onto the table like a tiger descending a mountain, shaking his hands repeatedly.

According to legend.

There's a technique in Lightning Release ninjutsu that involves lifting someone up and slamming them to the ground...

Although the old man is unlikely to be that cruel to him, what if he is?

In life, one must know how to follow one's heart.

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed strangely.

The Hokage who persevered so diligently was the one who was both a teacher and a father figure to him!

"There were many geniuses in Konoha, but they all called me a genius."

In an instant.

Hiruzen Sarutobi placed his hand on Danzo Shimura's shoulder and said with a slight smile:

"Danzo, don't you think so?"
