Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

"The Hyuga clan has absolutely no intention of assisting you, sir!"

“Look, isn’t Hizashi doing very well in the Anbu?” Hyuga Tenzo took a deep breath. In this situation, joining the branch family of the Anbu had become a lifeline.

“Hizashi did a good job, he’s a good lad…” Shimura Danzo continued relentlessly, “But what is his relationship with Hyuga!”

Hyuga Tenzo was completely dumbfounded.

That's my son, he has whites in his eyes, how can you say he's not related?

Even the usually well-mannered Hyuga Tenzo couldn't help but want to swear.

This can be cut?

"The village just recruited a day servant into the Dark Guard, and you rushed over here just to take this letter and curry favor with the village in order to stop the further spread of the split family."

"You even stirred up trouble between the Japanese spies and the village. Very well, you're very good..."

Shimura Danzo felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Hyuga Tenzo's reaction.

This Hyuga clan leader was truly unlucky; he ran right into the line of fire.

Recently, Shimura Danzo has learned a lot from Sarutobi Hiruzen…

He also found it very helpful.

But his long-standing habit of labeling people, which he had been doing for so many years, had been put aside for a long time, and it made him itchy to do it again.

The hat was oppressive.

Danzo Shimura was about to speak again.

Hyuga Tenzo felt a tightness in his chest, as if a giant python was coiled around his neck.

This Hokage Building is far more dangerous than the 'Village of Bloody Mist'...

Will he be able to die peacefully today?

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and coughed lightly.

Receive!

Shimura Danzo had already uttered the words, but he immediately shut his mouth again.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised by how decisive this was.

What does it mean...

Why are you being so obedient today?

"Sit down, everyone, sit down and talk." Hiruzen Sarutobi set the tone as soon as he spoke, easing the extremely tense atmosphere.

"Danzo, you've gone too far."

"Hyuga shed blood for the village. Even if he made some minor mistakes, he is still a pillar of Konoha. This must be firmly remembered. We cannot easily turn him into an enemy."

Hyuga Tenzo felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he felt much lighter.

The hat was tight, but it was actually quite small…

Naruto does have some logic to it!

This plan is a bit outdated...

The same old red-cop/white-cop routine.

"Tianzang, do you think that Danzang and I are playing the good cop and the bad cop?"

Hyuga Tenzo shook his head with a sheepish smile, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Can Naruto read minds?

Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled a document out of the drawer and placed it in front of him.

It was a list of 'Konoha Committee members'.

Hyuga Tenzo was startled.

This list is clearly not something that was just drafted.

He not only saw his own name, but also saw that his name was listed before the Hijiri's!

The matter of the 'Konoha Committee' has long been a secret in the village...

Needless to say, the Jonin circle is also abuzz with discussion about who will be selected.

Hyuga Tenzo had hoped that Hizashi would be selected.

If he were the Hokage, he would do the same…

By listing Hizashi as a 'Konoha Committee Member' while excluding him, the clan leader, a power struggle could instantly be created between the 'Committee Member' and the 'Clan Leader'.

No matter how great the main family's power is, can it be greater than that of Konoha?

The Hyuga who split up will surge towards Hizashi like a tide!

This is a blatantly vicious scheme, even more ruthless than the one in the 'Village of Blood Mist'...

It's not just about killing people, it's about destroying their spirit.

Hyuga Tenzo was also worried about this for a long time. What should be done if the Hokage really did that?

But he never thought of that.

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually listed him as one of the 'Konoha Committee Members'!

"Tenzo, Konoha is about the Will of Fire."

"The relationship between villages and ninja clans has never been one of life or death, but rather one of mutual benefit..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said:

"This is also the most fundamental difference between Konoha and other hidden villages. I treat every ninja as a friend, brother, and family member, rather than a tool or consumable."

This moment.

Hinata Tenzo couldn't help but have such a thought pass through his mind.

The Will of Fire, it turns out, really wasn't just a slogan...

It actually exists!

049 Using water as a metaphor for fire? Hiruzen Sarutobi's tapping (Wishing all readers a Happy New Year, and asking for monthly votes!)

Hyuga Tenzo was somewhat dazed.

How could he possibly believe in the Will of Fire as the leader of a powerful clan with a history spanning millennia?

The continuation of a family line doesn't rely on such empty words!

Instead, they are two-faced, treacherous, ruthless, and turn their backs on people...

But human nature is complex.

Even if you don't believe it, you'll still subconsciously stop and look when something beautiful appears before your eyes.

Emotions, respect, and self-actualization are goals that humans genuinely pursue after they have enough to eat and wear.

"Lord Hokage, you're right!"

Hyuga Tenzo calmed himself down: "Tenzo and the Hyuga clan will remember this from now on!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly.

He didn't believe that two simple sentences could make Hyuga Tenzo 'tremble and bow down'.

This is not realistic.

An old fox like this needs slow and gradual communication to build a foundation of mutual trust.

Not only should we offer incentives, but we must also use deterrence and warnings.

"It's understandable that the ninja clans, who survived the Warring States period, would suffer some aftereffects."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "Back then, it was a winner-takes-all world among ninjas. The loser basically only had one option: extermination of their clan. It was very difficult to build trust."

"But now it's the era of the nation and the village. Konoha belongs to everyone. We shouldn't bring old ideas into the new era to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings and make things difficult for the village."

"What do you think, Tianzang?"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Hyuga Tenzo nodded repeatedly: "You see, after experiencing war, my thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding again. The teachings instilled in me by my elders since childhood have been too profound."

"I will definitely lead the Hyuga clan in a deep reflection!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Tenzo Hyuga a way out.

Hyuga Tenzo also took the opportunity to back down and shift the blame to the previous generation's clan leader, who was his father.

Since the person is already dead, taking the blame is no big deal...

Hyuga Hizashi rolled his white eyes in annoyance. This old man really knows how to defy the heavens!

A slight glint appeared in Shimura Danzo's eyes.

Why is it that even the words of admonition sound more pleasant coming from Hiruzen's mouth than from his own?

"No, I have to learn..."

"What did he just say?" Shimura Danzo recalled Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, reciting them silently, when suddenly a good idea came to him.

The saying goes, "A bad pen is worse than a good memory."

If you copy these sentences down for the monkey and have him memorize them day and night, he'll learn this skill too.

Danzo Shimura's lips curled slightly, proud of his own wisdom.

"Foolish Hiruzen, just keep showing off your strengths!"

Danzo Shimura thought to himself, "I will absorb all your strengths and become the strongest Hokage..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Danzo a strange look.

What is that muttering to itself? It sounds like it's reciting a spell…

Why did they give up being ninjas and become monks instead?

"Let's talk about the issue of Fog Concealment first."
