Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 106 The Limitations of the Hokage

"Of course it's alright!" Ning Yuan said softly, holding Yuhi Hong's hand.

Girls develop faster than boys in their early years, so Ning Yuan suddenly realized that Yuhi Kurenai seemed to be a little taller than him.

Right now, she's only a little short. Once the girl is 8 or 9 years old and starts developing, Xi Ri Hong might even surpass Ning Yuan in height.

Ning Yuan's thoughts inexplicably wandered again.

I heard that Kushina was invincible among her peers back then. One reason was the physique of the Uzumaki clan, but there should also be another reason, which is that girls develop earlier than boys.

"I'm still a little worried!" Hong blinked. "Could you analyze it for me?"

Simply saying that everything is fine won't reassure Hong.

Of course, there was another reason: Hong simply enjoyed watching Ning Yuan talk so eloquently.

"Let's talk inside!"

"good!"

Neatly, the two of them lay face down on the table.

Zhao Beicangyun on the podium was speechless. It wasn't even time yet, how could he be asleep?

Arcane Pen Hall, today's setting is the cosmos.

Ning Yuan sat on the ground and said, "What's the situation now? Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't like me, but I am, after all, his wife's disciple. The enmity between us hasn't been made public yet, so he can only deal with me using some covert methods."

"For example, they gave me swordsmanship, but didn't let me take combat classes. Instead, they made me take medical ninjutsu classes and told the medical ninjutsu teacher not to worry about my attitude towards learning."

At this point, Ning Yuan sighed, "This is the treatment geniuses get!"

"The Third Hokage doesn't like geniuses?!" Kurenai Yuhi asked, puzzled. "Isn't Orochimaru a genius? I heard the Third Hokage really likes him!"

"Who told you that?" Ning Yuan asked.

"My father!" Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed, "My father even said that Orochimaru-senpai might become the next Hokage!"

Ning Yuan was speechless: "Why is my father-in-law telling you all this?"

"He wasn't talking to me, he was talking to you!" Kurenai Yuhi said irritably.

Ning Yuan nodded, understanding.

Sometimes children don't listen to adults, but they are more likely to listen to adults of the same age.

As a Jonin and a staunch supporter of the Third Hokage, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't possibly have been unaware of the rumors circulating in the village about the next Hokage.

Telling Ning Yuan implies a desire to get Ning Yuan closer to Orochimaru.

However, he didn't say it directly, but asked Yuhi Hong to relay the message. So this wasn't a suggestion, but rather a message to Ning Yuan.

He knew Ning Yuan was a smart man, so he wouldn't make decisions for Ning Yuan.

Whether or not Ning Yuan makes use of this information is entirely up to him.

Little did he know that Ning Yuan had long since become Orochimaru's superior, so there was no need for him to curry favor with Orochimaru.

Little did he know that Hiruzen Sarutobi felt more than just love for his intelligent disciple!

"Of course the third generation likes geniuses!" Ning Yuan said, "But he likes the kind of geniuses he can control, preferably weaker than his son, with a simple personality, no ambition, and not likable!"

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head: "I don't quite understand!"

"You don't understand mainly because you don't know the Third Hokage's aspirations!" Ning Yuan asked, "What do you think the Third Hokage's ideals were?"

"A powerful family?" Kurenai asked.

She had also heard Ning Yuan's theory of self-interest and knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisions were all based on his family's interests.

"Yes, but there's a prerequisite for a powerful clan: the Sarutobi clan must remain in the Hokage position!" Ning Yuan said. "Once the Hokage position falls to another, the Sarutobi clan will inevitably decline!"

As the Hokage, having witnessed the decline of the Senju clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew all too well how to destroy a clan. He didn't need to do anything else; he just had the clan fight to the death during wartime.

Of course, the Uchiha clan is an exception; this clan cannot go to the battlefield, otherwise we might see hundreds of Gundams.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi is determined to hold onto the Hokage position.

"Decline!" Kurenai Yuhi nodded. "Indeed, the Sarutobi clan is inferior to the Uchiha in Fire Release genjutsu, to the Hyuga in reconnaissance and defense, and even to the Nara clan in intelligence."

Without the support of power, the Sarutobi clan is nothing but a fart.

Therefore, after discovering that they could not compete with other families in other aspects, the Sarutobi clan began to study power.

However, you can't blame Hiruzen Sarutobi for this. If you put any other family in his place, it would be the same. Everyone wants their family to have eternal glory, and everyone wants their power to be passed on to their next generation, rather than being replaced by someone else.

Ningyuan is no exception.

This only proves once again the greatness of the great man.

"So the Third Hokage's ambition was to make his son the next Hokage!" Ning Yuan revealed the final answer: "Therefore, whether or not a genius would be liked by Hiruzen Sarutobi was determined by a certain standard: he wouldn't like geniuses stronger than his son, but he would like geniuses weaker than his son!"

Kurenai was speechless. Could this really be possible?

"What was his eldest son's name again?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Shinnosuke Sarutobi!" Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed.

"I would call him a genius quality inspector!" Ning Yuan said. "Anyone worse than Sarutobi Shinnosuke can't be called a genius; only those better than him are true geniuses!"

Kurenai Yuhi fell silent.

Often, the underlying principles of many complex things are so simple that even a five-year-old child can understand them.

"Then shouldn't he be trying to weaken your strength? Why did he say that Zhuzhu is not in danger?" Kurenai asked again.

In her eyes, Ning Yuan was far superior to that Sarutobi Shinnosuke; such a genius was exactly what the Third Hokage hated!

"Because he's the Third Hokage, he enjoys the glory of the Hokage, but he also has to bear the limitations that come with that position!" Ning Yuan said. "For example, the registration of summoning beasts. Because the village has this rule, he can take Juju, but he can't kill Juju, because that would be breaking the rules. If you do that, who will dare to register a summoning beast in the future?"

"I see!" Kurenai nodded. "Is this how he deals with you too?"

"Yes!" Ning Yuan nodded: "He is my master's husband. I am a student at the Ninja Academy, a model citizen, a cheerful and optimistic Konoha reserve ninja. So even if he hates me, he can't just send an ANBU to kill me."

Furthermore, because I had become a disciple of Sarutobi Biwako, Danzo was also unable to intervene.

"If he wants to deal with me, he can only wait until wartime and send me to my death on the battlefield!"

"Then aren't you in great danger?" Kurenai asked in surprise.

Ning Yuan shrugged: "So, I'm trying my best to increase my strength!"

He didn't care about the threat posed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. No matter how dangerous the battlefield was, at most he would be hit in the face by the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, or be attacked by the Fourth Raikage, or be hit by the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release.

However, he has the ability to roll his eyes, and he continues to improve his speed and is still working on the Flying Thunder God Technique. If he still can't outrun someone several kilometers away, then he might as well die.

What he cared about more was Black Zetsu.

This thing has lived for a thousand years and is single-mindedly causing trouble in the ninja world in order to save its mother.

To be honest, Ning Yuan wouldn't mind cooperating with Black Zetsu, after all, Kaguya is also very beautiful, but Black Zetsu might not trust him.

Black Zetsu always says he's weak, but he was able to ambush Madara Uchiha. Does that mean he's really weak?

Madara has experienced countless battles since childhood, and has been ambushed on the battlefield countless times. He could never defend against Black Zetsu's sneak attacks. He said he was not good at fighting. Do you believe him?

"here we go!"

"What?"

"The village's testing of Zhuzhu!"
