Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

He definitely didn't refuse because he didn't want to be that bastard's heir...

The theory that it originates from later generations is based on a vast amount of detailed information that can be traced back to its source.

It wasn't suitable as a cover for his identity, and besides, it couldn't explain his later display of talent...

To conquer the Uchiha clan, he needs both carrot and stick. He can't just abandon his ninjutsu of so many years and start training the Sharingan again, can he?

Most of his ninjutsu skills are specifically designed to target the Uchiha clan!

It would be a shame not to use it…

"Yes, yes, yes..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "You're right!"

"why are you laughing?"

"Because I am happy to see you about to return to the ninja world," Hiruzen Sarutobi replied immediately.

The master and apprentice looked at each other for a while, then shook their heads and chuckled.

"Teacher, my thought process is..."

"In your notes, I came across something about the existence of phenomena like 'ancestral protection and blessings' in the ninja world, but you didn't elaborate on it..."

"I think this development is very good. I have consulted the classics and confirmed that such a situation exists."

"There are records from the Land of Wind that say a mother was seriously ill when her child was born. Her reluctance and worry for her daughter became entangled in the child, giving her the power to control sand."

"This is essentially a form of chakra possession..."

Chakra can do many things.

It is a mixture of physical and spiritual power. According to the texts Hiruzen Sarutobi recently read, some powerful Uzumaki clan members can even seal a portion of chakra within a child's body...

This allows them to have another chance to see their children after they pass away.

Tobirama Senju's eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Hiruzen, this problem is solved, you don't need to worry anymore, I have a solution."

"During his lifetime, Izuna Uchiha was most opposed to the alliance between the Senju and Uchiha clans, and repeatedly tried to dissuade Madara Uchiha..."

"But at the same time, he is a person who loves his people."

"When he died, his unwilling soul, like the legend of the Land of Wind, was unwilling to leave, yet he did not want to join Konoha, which has the Thousand Hands."

"It drifted onto the Uchiha who had been abducted by Kusagakure."

"But that Uchiha lacked the talent to unleash his chakra, so it could only be passed on to his descendants..."

"After I died, my chakra discovered Uchiha Izuna's chakra, and the two chakras descended upon the same boy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi followed Tobirama Senju's train of thought and picked up the conversation:

"This boy, though talented, suffered from malnutrition due to being enslaved since childhood, and because his chakra was intertwined with that of his parents, he also suffered from bloodstain disease..."

"The details that are precisely filled in should this body become unstable."

Tobirama Senju's gaze grew increasingly appreciative.

Hiruzen has indeed grown into a very outstanding player...

His ability to weave stories alone demonstrates that his skills in managing people are not bad.

"Teacher, how long will it take you to finish?"

"Everything will be ready within three months at the latest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised. Should he say that he was indeed his teacher?

"Teacher, you know that we must never expose your identity by doing this."

"But I hope that you will remember that you are Tobirama Senju, and that you can start a new life as an Uchiha, setting aside some of your past prejudices and re-examining them."

"Regardless, the Uchiha clan is part of Konoha, and they shed blood for Konoha..."

“We are plotting something, but a plot doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t lead to something good.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke earnestly to Tobirama Senju.

He wanted Tobirama Senju to help the Uchiha clan integrate into Konoha, not to go in and cause chaos...

Tobirama Senju was silent for a moment, then said, "I will do my best."

"Go, Hiruzen, do what you're supposed to do. You're Hokage now..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked to the exit, which was covered with sealing techniques.

"teacher…"

"Call me monkey one more time. Next time we meet, you'll be an Uchiha."

"You'll have to call me Lord Hokage."

These words, contrary to the Heavenly General's, warmed Tobirama Senju's heart:

"Hmph, monkey..."

"Just focus on being a good Hokage! If you don't do a good job, I will impeach you as the head of the Uchiha clan!"

"I will not show any mercy!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily: "Your criticism is welcome, teacher!"

At that moment, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.

He did indeed welcome Tobirama Senju helping him find problems...

However, if an Uchiha criticizes the Hokage, he has to get past his old buddy Danzo Shimura!

It seems that the Darkness of Ninja has encountered a new opponent.

011 Danzo: Hiruzen, why did you smile as soon as you saw me today?

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put the completed documents aside and closed his eyes for a short rest.

While he claimed to be resting, he was actually constructing his own unique Yin Seal.

The Yin Sealing Technique is a reserve energy source used to collect and store his scattered chakra...

If he didn't strive for perfection, he would have finished long ago...

But Hiruzen Sarutobi was different from ordinary ninjas. With the vigorous development of Konoha, he was in a state of 'secondary development,' and he could feel his chakra limit slowly increasing...

Therefore, his Yin Seal needed to be designed to be somewhat ahead of its time…

On Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead, a faint mark is faintly visible.

It looked as if golden threads were binding his forehead, with two round marks pointing upwards between his eyebrows, like a golden hoop on his head.

"It can also be considered a tribute to Sun Wukong..." Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples and smiled.

In his youth, he naturally longed to be like Sun Wukong, able to ride the clouds and be free.

Now that I've encountered this opportunity, although I don't possess extraordinary abilities, I can at least dream of flying and escaping into the earth...

A moment later.

Danzo Shimura knocked on the door and entered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sipped his tea, seemingly oblivious, then glanced up at him and said, "Hmm, you're here..."

It would be fine if I just ignored it.

A strange sense of amusement suddenly welled up in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

He thought of Tobirama-sensei, who was currently a hundred meters deep within the Hokage Rock, probably working overtime repairing a large figurine…

It would be quite interesting if these two met.

The fact that Tobirama Senju was resurrected in the body of an Uchiha was a tacit agreement between master and disciple, and they would not reveal it to anyone.

Whether it's Shimura Danzo, or Utatane Koharu, or Mitokado Homura.

In the ninja world, there are many ways to gather intelligence, and people have different personalities...

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju were both confident in their ability to cover up their mistakes, but the two Hokage had no confidence in the others.

The more people who know, the greater the possibility of a leak.

Perhaps one day their eyes will meet and something feels off; if someone with ulterior motives sees this, it could cause trouble…

On the other hand...

Genuine emotion is the best acting. Danzo Shimura, unaware of Tobirama Senju's true identity, was completely taken in by a 'reckless Uchiha imitator of Tobirama Senju'...

We will definitely target them aggressively!

This is naturally the best proof of Tobirama Uchiha's identity...

If they knew, then the effect of Shimura Danzo's usual hat-buying spree and exaggerated accusations wouldn't be as good...

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, unusually, lost his composure, swallowed the tea in one gulp, and choked a few times.

Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puzzled expression.

What do you mean? Does my face look funny? That doesn't make sense...

He subconsciously touched the bandages on his forehead and around his eyes.

Could it be that it wasn't wrapped properly?

"Hiruzen, what are you laughing at?" After confirming that it was indeed him, Danzo Shimura asked with a dark face.

Although his bond with Hiruzen is deepening, he still can't shake his decades-old habit of picking fights.

Since we can't find the big issues, let's look at the small ones; otherwise, it always feels like something's missing...

"Ah, I just thought of something funny, sorry..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject: "Come on, let's have some tea."

He personally brewed a cup of hot tea for Danzo Shimura, as a way of making amends for what he would later suffer.
