Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

After finishing his rant, Uchiha Setsuna felt refreshed and triumphant, waving to his clansmen with an air of self-satisfaction.

His attitude was so arrogant that he showed no regard for the fact that the Uchiha clan was in the eye of the storm and that the suspicion of the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes had not yet been cleared.

Setsuna's idea was simple: Konoha Village belonged to the Uchiha clan, and it was established by Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is only the Third Hokage, yet he dares to doubt our Uchiha clan, who are original shareholders. He's really spoiled!

Even though the vocabulary of ninjas is extremely limited, Uchiha Setsuna only knew how to greet his mother instead of using his parents as the center and his ancestors for eighteen generations as the radius for a more intimate greeting. Shimura Danzo was so angry that he lost his mind.

Danzo Shimura suffered a setback, and Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane immediately flew into a rage, jumping out to attack Setsuna Uchiha from both sides, accusing him of disrespecting the Hokage's service.

"Pah! Where were your support staff when the Fourth Hokage was fighting the Nine-Tails?"

"The Fourth Hokage bravely sacrificed himself for the village, why aren't you support characters even injured?"

"By the way, when the Second Hokage died a heroic death, you few Shadow Guards returned to Konoha unscathed. That's a traditional skill!"

"Heh heh, the Third Hokage actually survived your tricks. I think he's really lucky!"

These few words silenced Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu instantly, and even Shimura Danzo felt his scalp tingle and couldn't help but take a half step back.

Uchiha Setsuna was in godlike form tonight, able to verbally abuse anyone he encountered, giving them no chance to retaliate, and thus achieving a complete victory.

The Third Hokage glanced at Setsuna, and his vigilance increased tenfold.

I never thought this old man was so sharp-tongued. Wasn't he just all talk and no action?

Could it be that someone is giving him advice behind the scenes?

The Third Hokage's guess was absolutely correct, and the person who came up with the idea is right now, standing behind Yamanaka Inoichi, Yamanaka Hatsukyu.

The stage for this conflict was set up by Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Yomo, but the current host is Yamanaka Hatsukyu.

When the Uchiha team sneaked into the shantytown and used Sharingan genjutsu on the Root ninja guarding the area, Yamanaka Hatsukyu was awakened.

Among the Root ninjas guarding the shantytown was his living puppet. Once the living puppet was controlled by genjutsu, it would naturally alert the puppet's master.

The distance at which the living puppet in the mountains controls the ninth day of the ninth month far exceeds the emotional perception of the Heart Severance Realm.

In mountainous areas, it can maintain perfect control within ten kilometers; in flat areas like Konoha Village, the control distance can even exceed thirty kilometers.

After being awakened, Shan Zhongchu immediately judged that the shantytown, this living hell, was about to be exposed.

Although he hadn't personally gone inside, the place where so many villagers fell into the killing line and none of them came out alive must be a hell that defies humanity.

The fact that Konoha Village is a living hell will inevitably create a severe psychological impact.

Yamanaka Chujiu shook his head: "It's a pity that so many people died, but it didn't overthrow the Third Hokage's rule. Instead, it will only encourage him to make a comeback. So many people died in vain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently a bug.

He held power over the entire village, but he was not the Hokage and had no responsibilities to bear.

At this point, with the scandal of the shantytown exposed, Hiruzen Sarutobi only needed one sentence to shift the blame to the shady Danzo Shimura.

However, with Hiruzen Sarutobi around, Danzo Shimura's punishment was at most confinement, or even just a nominal confinement.

As long as he doesn't get caught red-handed, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't even need to tell anyone when he leaves the village.

Yamanaka Chujiu shook his head. The Third Hokage ruled Konoha for a full eighteen years, accumulating a massive power that no individual could resist.

It's not something that can be brought down by just a small shantytown.

Yamanaka Hatsukyu was the same age as Hatake Kakashi and had personally witnessed Namikaze Minato, so he knew how powerful the Fourth Hokage was.

Minato Namikaze, as the rightful Hokage, was the strongest fighter in Konoha Village, and his wife was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Furthermore, he has a sunny personality, treats people gently, and is highly respected.

Aside from seniority, no matter how you look at it, the Third Hokage was no match for the Fourth Hokage.

However, the fact that the Fourth Hokage, whose personal abilities far surpassed those of the others, obediently served as a puppet for a year only shows that he could not find a way to seize power and had no choice but to patiently wait and see.

This also shows that Minato Namikaze was not facing Hiruzen Sarutobi alone, but the political group of the Third Hokage centered around him.

This group is like a giant crab. Hiruzen Sarutobi is the heart, Danzo Shimura is the pincers, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are the supporting legs, the four ninja clans are the crab's flesh and blood, and the outermost layer is a hard shell composed of morality and orthodoxy.

Especially its sturdy exterior, which is completely impervious to mere scandals.

To deal with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, you need to be as patient as you are with a crab. First, remove its powerful and poisonous pincers to deprive it of its ability to attack.

Then, remove the crab's supporting legs to prevent it from running around and causing chaos in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Next, shatter and peel away the hard moral shell, exposing the rotten flesh and blood of the crab.

Only then can Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart be removed, and the Third Hokage's group become a thing of the past in Konoha.

This order absolutely cannot be wrong, otherwise it will be easy to provoke a counterattack from Shimura Danzo, or even be crushed by Sarutobi Hiruzen mobilizing the entire village's power in the name of Hokage.

Currently, only the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village has enough strength to withstand the counterattack from the Third Hokage's group.

After arriving at the scene with his older brother, Yamanaka Chukyu not only figured out the intricacies of the situation, but also surprisingly discovered that he could understand the hawkish faction of the Uchiha clan.

The mentality of fighting to the death with the enemy to protect one's family and clan, the disgust for hypocrites, and the hatred for the evil man Shimura Danzo all resonated with Yamanaka Hatsukyu.

On the contrary, Yamanaka Hatsukyu completely failed to understand the dove-like Uchiha clan's willingness to compromise.

He wasn't just guessing; he had evidence!

Not only could Yamanaka Hatsukyu sense Uchiha Setsuna's emotions, but he could also entangle him with threads of thought and easily penetrate his mind.

With the help of Uchiha Setsuna's shallow memories, Yamanaka Hatsukyu figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

He suddenly had a new idea.

The Uchiha clan is now in sharp opposition to the Third Hokage. They have the will to resist, have taken the initiative to expose the shameful aspects of Konoha, and have the strength to withstand the counterattack from the Third Hokage's group.

Then give them another push from behind, so that the Uchiha can firmly establish their position against the Third Hokage.

If one remains indecisive and fails to clearly state one's position, one will be unable to unite the hearts and minds of the people, and will be subject to internal strife by the enemy, thus sowing the seeds of a fatal disaster.

Therefore, Yamanaka Hatsukyu's use of the Mind-Severing Boundary to influence Uchiha Setsuna allowed him to launch a series of witty attacks against Shimura Danzo, greatly increasing the difficulty for Uchiha Fugaku to compromise.
