Naruto: The Strongest Force

"Don't say anything about regrets or not."

"Itachi isn't married yet, and Sasuke isn't grown up yet."

"There's still a long time to go, and you haven't seen the Uchiha become the strongest force yet."

Xia Mu comforted Fugaku with a few words, even though Fugaku had not been doing very well as the clan leader over the years.

But thanks to his intervention, the Uchiha clan is still alive, and Fugaku doesn't have to blame himself so much.

Fugaku didn't want Itachi and Shisui to take risks, and he underestimated Obito, which is why things turned out like this.

No one is perfect, so it is understandable that Fugaku would have such thoughts.

Now that things have come to this, it doesn’t matter. The clan hasn’t suffered much loss anyway.

However, the time-sealing magic circle was exposed as a big killer.

Fugaku felt warm at heart after hearing what Natsuki said.

Xia Mu teased, "You have completely wasted your pupil power now."

Fugaku was very open-minded: "It doesn't matter, I have decided to leave his eyes to Itachi anyway."

Xia Mu opened his Sharingan and observed Fugaku's eyes:

"You overdrew too much before, and now you need to recuperate for a while."

"It doesn't matter. Since you're back, take away the power left behind by the transfer seal." Fugaku said.

Fugaku can still see an outline now because Natsuki's pupil power still remains in his eyes.

If Natsuki takes away the power of the eyes, Fugaku will not be able to see at all.

"That's fine."

Since Fugaku had already planned it, Natsuki was not polite to Fugaku.

Now is the time when the family needs him. It doesn't matter whether Fugaku can see it now or not.

Fugaku's blindness is an inevitable process, and he needs to take care of his eyes.

Once the body has recovered and Itachi's conditions are met, the fusion of the Eternal Mangekyō will be performed.

If one's own pupil power is in Fugaku's eyes, it will interfere with and burden Fugaku's kaleidoscope cultivation.

After Xiamu divided the pupil power, he realized that after dividing the pupil power, it was not as simple as dividing a part and restoring the eternal eye.

But the upper limit of pupil power is also restricted.

Xia Mu put his hand on Fugaku's eyes, and a familiar pupil power slowly spread out.

He pulled his hands back, and the invisible pupil power came out along with the technique in Xia Mu's hand.

Xia Mu tapped his eyes lightly, and the magic surged, and these pupil powers slowly entered the eyes.

My eyes felt instantly refreshed, and after my pupil power was restored, my whole eyes looked different.

But now is not the time to think about this, after the power to transfer the seal has been withdrawn.

The irises of Fugaku's eyes darkened completely.

"Clan leader, how are your eyes now?"

Fugaku opened his dim eyes and looked left and right.

He said calmly: "It's completely dark now. Is this what it feels like to be blind?"

"I have to work hard for a while, clan leader. Itachi's current physical condition is not yet able to fuse your eyes." Natsuki said.

Fugaku waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay. You just happened to be back. I'll leave the position of clan leader to you."

Natsuki agreed before leaving, but now that Obito has taken back Kamui's left eye, the threat will be even greater.

At this time, some plans need to be accelerated.

"No problem, but I need to publicize it a lot as I take over as the clan leader."

Fugaku turned his ears in confusion: "Don't you dislike this kind of trouble the most?"

Natsuki said helplessly: "I really don't like it, but Obito got his eyes back. We have to take the initiative and get rid of Danzo who is always against us."

"By removing Danzo's thorn, we can exchange interests with the Third Generation."

Fugaku frowned. This Danzo had been targeting them many years ago. He was dismissed from his position and then reinstated.

It was because the Third Hokage protected him that the Third Hokage could endure Danzo's assassination. It is even more difficult for outsiders to completely crucify Danzo.

"It's not easy to deal with Danzo."

Of course Natsuki knew that the Third Hokage had protected and connived at Danzo, but the Third Hokage was far from being as simple as he imagined.

From the time Fugaku became the clan leader until he was killed by Itachi, it was obvious that he had no political acumen.

If Fugaku was smarter, he would not let his whole family be slaughtered and he would die in the hands of a good man.

Therefore, Fugaku's understanding of the Third Hokage and Danzo is still superficial.

Now that Natsuki has accumulated enough capital for Uchiha, it is natural that he will start to exert his efforts now.

Natsuki felt that it was necessary to analyze the third generation from Fugaku. It also adds some political qualities to Fugaku.

How can you do it all alone? Fugaku, you can't rest either.

"Fugaku, your understanding of the third generation is too superficial."

Fugaku knew his own family affairs, and he basically knew everything about politics, but knew nothing about it.

That's why I have been following Xia Mu's policy. Now that Xia Mu is back, he is anxious to leave the clan leader to Xia Mu.

It's because Xia Mu is really better at the job of clan leader than he is.

Listening to Natsuki's words, it seemed that he wanted to analyze the meaning of the Third Hokage.

Fugaku looked like he was listening.

Natsuki cleared his throat: "In the early days of Sandai's rule, Danzo and I suppressed the major families and suppressed the powerful families one by one, which greatly enhanced the centralization of power of the Hokage family."

Fugaku nodded. Indeed, when the third generation first took office, there were many powerful families in Ninja Village, especially the Senju clan. The first and second generations were both members of the Senju clan.

He left behind a huge amount of property and political assets. If Tobirama hadn't died unexpectedly and the heir to the Senju clan was young, the position of the Third Hokage would never have fallen to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Natsuki continued: "Although the Third Generation has many things that are inconvenient for him to do and can be left to Danzo to handle, this also indulges Danzo's power."

"Of course, the third generation also has selfish motives. While suppressing other families, it also diverts some resources to its own family.

"Danzo's approach is different from that of the Third Generation. On the one hand, he writes some blank checks to the Shimura family. While sucking the blood of the Shimura family, he allocates resources to his own organization."

"The result of this is that all Danzo's forces are die-hard members, and their loyalty to Danzo far exceeds their loyalty to the village."

"As Danzo's power expanded, he became more unscrupulous in his actions. During the period of suppressing the family, some accidents occurred."

"For example, Hatake Sakumo's suicide."

Fugaku was surprised: "Hatake Sakumo was Danzo's mastermind? Didn't he commit suicide?"

Natsuki waved his hand: "The Hatake family evolved from a samurai family. The family values ​​honor. Is it possible that the third generation does not know the harm caused by public opinion to the Hatake family?"

"How did the rumors spread outside? It's not Danzo's root."

"With such a big rumor spreading in the village, would the Third Generation not know anything about it? It's obvious that Danzo's behavior was tacitly approved by the Third Generation."

Fugaku frowned: "Didn't Hatake Sakumo's death weaken Konoha's strength?"

What Fugaku said is not unreasonable. You must know that during the Second Ninja War, Sunagakure, who was killed with a short sword, was frightened by the news and killed Xia's parents directly. It laid the foundation for the Third Ninja War.

Natsuki chuckled: "No one is perfect. How could the Third Hokage have expected everything? He just wanted to suppress Hatake Sakumo, and he never thought that Hatake Sakumo would commit suicide directly."

Chapter 137 Night Talk of Three Generations Part

"The Third Hokage began preparing for his successor from a very early stage, and he left the task of suppressing the family to Danzo."

"And he mainly supports the development of ninjas without family background. This is the case for Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and later Minato."

Fugaku couldn't help but ask: "What about Tsunade?"

Natsuki said: "It is a helpless move to accept Tsunade as a disciple. After all, you, the Third Hokage, are going to accept a disciple. Tsunade is the granddaughter of her own teacher, so it is impossible not to accept her."

Fugaku nodded in agreement.

"In the middle of the three-generation rule, all three generations' goals were achieved."

"Although neither Orochimaru nor Jiraiya is suitable to be Hokage, under the transmission of his will of fire, Jiraiya's apprentice Namikaze Minato became the successor of the will of fire."

"When Minato came to power, everything was still under the control of the third generation. After all, Minato had no family background, and he also had a Jinchūriki wife."

"When neither Orochimaru nor Jiraiya is suitable to be Hokage, Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly the best candidate."

"When Minato first came to power, the third generation allowed Minato to establish an ANBU affiliated with the Fourth Hokage. At the same time, he did not disband his own ANBU, but held it firmly in his own hands. This means that he did not completely delegate power."

"But Obito launched the Nine-Tails Rebellion, which directly disrupted the Sandaime Hokage's plans."

"This is also a key point in Konoha's transition from prosperity to decline, and it is also a key point in our Uchiha's increasingly difficult times."

"Ah."

Fugaku groaned. The Nine-Tails Rebellion was undoubtedly the most important event that pushed the Uchiha clan into the abyss.

"The political skills used by the second generation Tobirama back then were quite clever. He established the police department and gave it full power to our clan."

"This is the unique and highest honor for all families, but its real purpose is to permanently exclude our Uchiha clan from the top management of Konoha and marginalize it."

Fugaku sighed: "That's true. When the second generation ordered the formation of the police force, our whole family was proud of it. But we didn't expect it to be a ruse."

Natsuki smiled: "This approach completely balances Uchiha's vanity and Konoha's overall interests."

"Tobirama's purpose is to make us Uchiha intoxicated with honor and slowly disintegrate our Uchiha's power."

"If Tobirama hadn't died suddenly, our Uchiha clan would have perished long ago."

"The Third Generation and Danzo didn't have Tobirama's pattern to begin with. Later, the Nine-Tails Rebellion happened, and the suppression of us Uchiha became even more blatant."

In order to avoid suspicion, Fugaku obediently obeyed Danzo's orders during the Nine-Tails Rebellion and covered the retreat of non-combatants.

But from many villagers, it became clear that the Uchiha clan did not participate in the battle.

Danzo even moved the Uchiha clan to the outside of the village, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent rebellion.

Natsuki smacked her lips, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and brought the topic back to the third generation.

"Although the de-"familyization" of the third generation has been successful, the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the death of a large number of elites, the death of his biggest supporter Minato, and the death of the adult Chuuriki Kushina, made everything separate from the third generation. expectations."

"The Third Hokage is facing internal and external difficulties. At this time, Danzo once again proposed that Orochimaru should take over as the Fifth Hokage."

"Duanzo already cooperated with Orochimaru when he chose the fourth generation Hokage, so the third generation directly rejected it."

"The reason why it was rejected by the Sandaime Hokage is because Orochimaru will not be controlled by him at all, and will even fall to Danzo's side."

"At this time, Danzo is no longer the third generation Hokage's help, but has become the third generation's political enemy."

"That's why the third Hokage came out again, took over the ANBU established by the fourth generation, and added his own ANBU to suppress everything."

Fugaku frowned and thought: "What about Orochimaru's defection?"

Natsuki chuckled: "At that time, maybe the third generation didn't know about Orochimaru's various taboo experiments? The third generation all knew about it."

"It's just that the third generation needs Orochimaru's power, just like Iwagakure's small-scale test after the fourth generation died, Orochimaru also contributed a lot."

"But the Third Generation didn't expect that Danzo would still refuse to hand over his power after the Fourth Generation died, so he started poaching him."

"In terms of taboo experiments on the human body, he continued to add bricks and tiles to it. While coveting the power of Mudun, he also completely tied Orochimaru to his own chariot."

"When the Third Generation found out, Orochimaru immediately defected."

"Due to personality issues, Orochimaru did not explain, and Danzo deliberately framed him, so the third generation was ready to give up on Orochimaru."

"The third generation didn't know the extent of the cooperation between Danzo and Orochimaru, but Danzo had already taken the position of assistant to the Hokage and held an unknown number of roots."

"In order to maintain the stability of Konoha Village, the third generation began to tolerate Danzo."

"At this time, the third war is over. We Uchiha have been targeted many times. The clan is dissatisfied. The intention of a coup is almost obvious. The rebel Shisui still believed in the village before."

"If Danzo hadn't gone his own way and dug out Shisui's eyes first, our Uchiha clan would have perished."

Fugaku still knows Shisui's character very well. Shisui used to be a pacifist.
