Uchiha: Starting from Imprisonment of Tobirama

Chapter 118 Sarutobi Hiruzen: As expected, you want to take over Qingshui, Teacher

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized.

After seeing that familiar figure, besides being shocked, he also felt a little relieved and admired himself...

What he thinks is the truth!

Mito Uzumaki said, "Chakra does not have a strong consciousness", "You need to use love to irrigate Qingshui", "Tobirama will not take over Qingshui"...

These words seemed to make sense and were consistent with the basic principles of chakra and ordinary ninjutsu.

But it does not fit the character of Senju Tobirama and his forbidden techniques!

Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely listened to Uzumaki Mito's advice. He became wary of Aomizu's attitude towards the guard team. He treated Aomizu with courtesy according to his own ideas and did not treat him as his apprentice, but as half of Senju Tobirama.

Fortunately, the Six Paths Sage did not disappoint his efforts and really helped him guess the truth!

But while feeling thankful, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart still rose to his throat -

He saw from close range how Tobirama Senju beat Danzo Shimura just now!

That was truly a fatal move, from removing his eyes to chopping off his arms, there was clear murderous intent in his eyes.

If he had not stepped forward to stop it, Danzo Shimura might have died!

This shows that Senju Tobirama was very dissatisfied with Shimura Danzo, so dissatisfied that he wanted to kill him...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind started to work. His mentor, who had once sacrificed his life to cover their retreat, was so angry that he seemed to have understood a lot...

"Why, monkey, you're glad I'm dead, aren't you?"

Senju Tobirama stared at the stunned Sarutobi Hiruzen and said coldly: "That's right, if I don't die, how can you become Hokage?"

As soon as these words came out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if his heart had stopped for a moment, and he could no longer think about the plans in his mind. He half-knelt on the ground and said quickly:

"Lord Tobirama, I never thought of that!"

In the illusion space, Senju Tobirama slowly walked to the side of Sarutobi Hiruzen and looked down at him.

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen had the courage and responsibility to take the initiative to cover his companions...

Feeling the powerful pressure brought by Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even dare to breathe. Even within the illusion, he felt sweaty.

He was no longer the Hokage of Konoha Village, but just a student who had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded by his teacher.

"Monkey, do you know everything that Shimura Danzo did?" Senju Tobirama asked lightly, with no emotion in his tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat.

What are those things? Shimura Danzo has done a lot of things...

"Master Tobirama, Danzo and I manage the village together. Although I am the Hokage, he still has a certain degree of independence as the Hokage's assistant, so some things..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen answered carefully.

"Monkey, you are the Hokage of this village. Whether you know what Shimura Danzo did or not, if there is any mistake anywhere in the village, you are the first person responsible."

"You should understand this principle, right?"

Senju Tobirama looked at Shimura Danzo coldly.

In his era, Konoha did not have such a thing as an assistant to the Hokage, let alone an armed force like the Root that was independent of the Hokage.

In Senju Tobirama's view, positions such as Root and Konoha Advisor are manifestations of Sarutobi Hiruzen's lack of control over the village.

He cannot control the entire Konoha by himself, nor can he lead the direction of the village with final say. He can only distribute the power in his hands and set up his own management.

This approach cannot be said to be wrong, but if Danzo Shimura loses control, then there is a problem!

"Master Tobirama, I know, I know..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stammered, not knowing how to explain to Senju Tobirama.

The so-called birth of the Root is actually a reflection of Sarutobi Hiruzen's personal inadequacy.

During the Senju Tobirama era, no matter what decision he, the second-generation Hokage, made, he would take everything on himself. Even if the decision was controversial, he would not let others take the blame, as he could bear all the criticism.

This is the case with a series of measures such as the tough war against foreign enemies, the establishment of the Uchiha Guard, the establishment of the Anbu, and the Ninja School...

If we talk about the interests that Senju Tobirama touched back then, there were really too many.

In order to deal with the war in the strongest possible manner, we need to integrate the internal voices...

During the First Ninja World War, Konoha was immersed in peace. Even the warlike Uchiha clan did not want to leave Uchiha Madara, and the dovish atmosphere was extremely popular. However, Senju Tobirama successfully mobilized the entire village and got the war machine running again.

The establishment of the ANBU greatly strengthened the power of the Hokage, which was naturally disliked by all the ninja clans. No ninja clan wanted to see the power of the Hokage suppress them to the point of suffocation, but it was successful in the end.

This is even more true for ninja schools. In a sense, this is digging out the roots of the ninja clan, but Senju Tobirama still did it, and even made many ninja clans hold their noses and send their geniuses in.

Finally, Senju Tobirama was even more ruthless in dealing with the Uchiha clan's security department, and forcibly suppressed the rebellious Uchiha Setsuna.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen could not do this. His prestige and ability were not enough to withstand external pressure. He could only establish alliances to share the firepower with him.

Thus, the Hokage's assistants, the Root, and even the Konoha advisors who held power came into being.

In order to appease Danzo, who attracted most of the firepower, Sarutobi Hiruzen's power as Hokage became incomplete.

"what do you know?"

Senju Tobirama said in a deep voice: "This is a manifestation of your incompetence!"

"As a Hokage, you have two sides. Do you think that if you put all the darkness on Shimura Danzo, you will be able to gain the trust of others as a Hokage?"

"Don't treat the village's ninjas as fools!"

Senju Tobirama said sternly:

"You want to recruit the genius of the ninja clan into the Anbu, so you use your skills to negotiate and subdue them. Ignoring Shimura Danzo's roots and forcibly absorbing them in a rough way, won't others think that you, the Hokage, acquiesce?"

"You are too weak, monkey! It's not that you don't know, but you don't have the courage to shoulder your due responsibilities!"

"You, the Hokage, are actually afraid of criticism. How ridiculous..."

"Do you think that even if things continue to develop like this and Konoha declines and becomes ruined, there is nothing wrong with you as the Hokage, and it is all Shimura Danzo's fault?"

Senju Tobirama's words were very serious and he directly exposed Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was trembling. What Senju Tobirama said was too real, so real that he couldn't face it.

"I, I have the courage to sacrifice for Konoha, Lord Tobirama, please believe me..." Sarutobi Hiruzen made a weak defense for himself.

"sacrifice?"

Senju Tobirama snorted coldly: "Most of Konoha's ninjas have the courage to sacrifice for the village!"

"Death is not so scary for a ninja, but living to face seemingly unsolvable problems is the real courage."

Qianshou Feijian shook his head in disgust:

"What makes me most angry about you is that you don't even know how to pass on the blame!"

"In this matter of Hatake Sakumo, your rhythm was completely suppressed by Shimura Danzo, and you were played in the palm of your hand by a subordinate!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen unconsciously lowered his head even more, feeling filled with regret.

This was the only time in all these years that Danzo Shimura tricked me, and it happened to be witnessed by the teacher.

How can I reason with this...

"Let me ask you, what are you hesitating about regarding Hatake Sakumo?"

Senju Tobirama waved his hand and said fiercely:

"As the Hokage, you already knew about the conflict between the Ninja Code and the Will of Fire. If you had dealt with it earlier and communicated with Hatake Sakumo, demoting him openly but promoting him secretly, you could have explained the idea of ​​mission first and won over Hatake Sakumo as the Hokage. You handled a simple matter so badly!"

"Also, I see you're afraid of war!"

Senju Tobirama said coldly: "What is there to be afraid of? I left you so many forbidden techniques, what are they for?"

"When other hidden villages want to launch an invasion, if you are strong, then your attitude will naturally be tough. If you are weak, then your attitude must be even tougher. Let others see your guilty conscience, and their methods will only become more ruthless, and their confidence and appetite will be even greater!"

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique, the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Multiplying Explosive Talisman Technique..."

"Even if you summon all the previous Hokage and Konoha strongmen back from the Pure Land, and use your Anbu, Root, and your own life to take away the enemy's tailed beast, you can't be weak to the outside world..."

Senju Tobirama shook his head: "Monkey, do you really think you are the strongest Hokage?"

"You don't want to use extreme means, you don't have enough strength, and you still want a good reputation for being kind and righteous. Who do you think you are?"

Senju Tobirama was very confused. What was there to be afraid of in war?

Just a tailed beast, even without Qingshui, can't it be solved by letting a few ninjas who dare to risk their lives get close to it and use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to self-destruct?

There is also the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, which is an even more powerful weapon in war!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was breathing heavily and couldn't even speak.

His little thoughts and calculations had nowhere to hide in front of Senju Tobirama, and they were all spoken out with great precision.

"Master Tobirama, I, the Hokage, am ashamed of your trust!"

"I am so afraid of failing to live up to your trust, and I am worried that Konoha will fall in my hands. This fear consumes my heart..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly shed tears and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Monkey, I won't punish you yet. You just protect Qingshui for me. Although you are incompetent, Konoha still needs a Hokage to maintain it..."

Senju Tobirama thought of Qingshui's series of thoughts about falsehood and peace, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

Compared to the poor performance of his two disciples, Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tobirama Senju didn't want to delve into it. What he was really worried about was that Qingshui would lose confidence in the village and think about the issue of peace from the perspective of the Uchiha clan.

It’s not that thinking about peace is bad, but in the ninja world, people who think about this issue usually end up going to extremes...

Uchiha Madara was so extreme that he broke with Konoha and gave up his family, and Senju Hashirama was so extreme that he forgot his own martial arts and kowtowed to others.

This question was like a dead end. Neither the Senju nor the Uchiha could think of the answer to the question.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed, his guess was indeed correct...

It turns out that Senju Tobirama wants to take over Qingshui's body. Isn't protecting him just delaying time?

But the words "possession" were not easy to say, so Sarutobi Hiruzen said tactfully:

"Lord Tobirama, when will you be resurrected? I will do my best to protect Qingshui!"

Senju Tobirama glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise. The monkey had directly guessed that Qing Shui was going to resurrect him?
