From Hokage to Visionary

"If that's the case," Obito raised his head excitedly.

"Yes, I agreed."

Uchiha Sogetsu nodded and smiled, saying: "We are all ninjas from the same village. Besides, Senior White Fang has taken good care of me. I can't just turn a blind eye to it."

"Thank you, Zongyue."

Namikaze Minato showed a grateful look.

"No need." Uchiha Sogetsu smiled and declined, "However, I just came back today and need to rest. Can I go tomorrow?"

"Of course, don't worry."

Namikaze Minato was not in a hurry, he smiled gently and said: "Sorry to bother you, in that case, we will leave first."

"Goodbye, Senior Zong Yue~"

"Goodbye, Brother Zong Yue!"

After sending the people away, he hadn't even had time to sit down when he received a letter from Tsunade.

The content of the letter was very simple, asking him to go to XX Bar on XX Street for something important.

“Born to be busy”

Uchiha Sogetsu sighed helplessly and had to change his clothes and go out.

Following the location on the letter, he found the tavern. Business was slow in broad daylight, and only Tsunade was sitting in the corner, drinking alone.

"Master Tsunade, what do you want me to do?"

Uchiha Sogetsu walked over, sat opposite Tsunade, and turned on his spiritual vision.

I saw a gray atmosphere of sadness shrouding her mind, deep inside it was mixed with a little bit of red, which symbolizes anger, and black, which symbolizes despair.

The bad mood seems to be related to the Third Hokage. Uchiha Munetsuki roughly guessed something, snatched the wine pot on the table, and said lightly: "Tsunade-sama, when you are in a bad mood, it is easier to get drunk. I don't want to see you smash this store again."

"Little ghost, why do you think people change?"

Tsunade's eyes were blurry and her face was flushed, like a ripe apple, exuding mature charm.

“Environment, experience, desire, emotion.”

Uchiha Munetsuki raised his eyes and stared at her, and said calmly: "As time goes by, there are too many things that can change people. Few people can walk in a straight line from beginning to end without deviation."

"I just can't understand why it turned out like this?"

Tsunade smiled self-deprecatingly, leaned back in her chair, shielded her eyes with her hands, and murmured, "Obviously, Grandpa's original intention was not what it is now. Whether it's Jiraiya, Orochimaru, or the teacher, everything seems to have changed, and I'm the only one who's still stupidly staying where I am."

"Hey, kid, tell me, am I really wrong?"

Listening to Tsunade's faintly low words, Uchiha Munetsuki shook his head: "Many things are neither right nor wrong. If you think it is right, then stick to it."

"Ha, that sounds like something you would say to comfort someone."

Tsunade smiled and wiped her eyes, which were still a little red and swollen. She bit her lips and looked at the boy in a daze: "What about you? Will you change?"

Uchiha Sogetsu was silent for a moment, and pushed the black glasses frame on his nose with his index finger.

In the dimly lit pub, he pursed his thin lips and raised them slightly. His eyes were calm and indifferent, like a bottomless pool of water:

"No, I will not change, Lady Tsunade."

"It has always been like this, and it will always be like this. I am who I am."

Chapter 46 What is the strongest ninjutsu?

No matter how big the trouble is, it will always be solved in the most reasonable way in the end.

Or, to put it another way, it is a way that everyone can accept.

Politics is the art of compromise, which is vividly reflected in the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Not only did he use Tsunade to suppress Danzo's arrogance, but he also took back some of the power of the Root; at the same time, he also successfully reduced Tsunade's huge prestige in Konoha's medical system.

In this way, the power of the entire Konoha was finally highly concentrated and integrated.

Inside the Hokage's office building, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his pipe, exhaled thick smoke, and stared at the Konoha Village outside through the transparent glass with an uncertain expression.

Just now, he received a letter from Tsunade.

The content of the letter was very simple, saying that she was planning to go out for a while and would not return until an uncertain date.

One could seem to sense a deep sense of disappointment in his words.

"Is she gone?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was feeling a little down and asked the Anbu next to him.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Linjiao said truthfully: "This morning, Lady Tsunade and her disciples have left Konoha."

"I see."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked towards the village gate and felt a sense of regret for some reason. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so direct.

But soon, this thought was forcefully suppressed by him: "No, I did nothing wrong, it's just that Tsunade is too immature!"

As the supreme leader of the entire village, everything Ying does is for the continuation and prosperity of the village, even if it means sacrificing some people or things for it!

"Linjiao, go and call Uchiha Sogetsu." Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down again and ordered Linjiao.

Now that Tsunade's departure is a foregone conclusion, he must do something to save the situation. Even though the results may be minimal, at least on the surface, he has to stabilize the remaining people.

Soon, Uchiha Sogetsu was brought to the Hokage Building.

"Hokage, is there anything I can help you with?" Uchiha Sogetsu lowered his eyes and had a stiff expression.

Although it was hidden well, the experienced Sarutobi Hiruzen could still detect a hint of indignation and confusion in the boy's hidden emotions.

After all, he is a young man. He thought he had hidden it well. Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied and showed a kind look on his face: "Kid, I know you must be feeling very unbalanced and confused about the decision I made, right?"

"No I didn't, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Sogetsu, who was seen through, was suddenly a little panicked and quickly denied it.

"Haha, it's okay, I understand your thoughts."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care: "I was your age too, young people, who doesn't have a temper? I understand that you are not satisfied with the decision I made. Obviously, Danzo made such a big mistake, but the result is just like this, right?"

"Hokage, I just don't understand. I'm not dissatisfied with you." Uchiha Sogetsu lowered his head and clenched his fists in indignation.

"There are some things I can't explain to you right now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, paused and said, "However, this matter is indeed Danzo who went too far, so I called you here today to tell you two things."

dong dong!

He tapped the pipe with his backhand and poured out the residue inside.

Then after putting the pipe aside, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "First of all, this mission was completed beautifully. I decided to let you choose a ninjutsu from the Book of Sealed Ninjas as a reward."

Hearing this, Uchiha Sogetsu showed a look of shock, and was at a loss for a moment. "Hokage-sama, this is too..."

The Book of Sealed is the most important treasure of Konoha Village, and it is also the most important and undisputed "legacy" left by the Second Hokage!

The Shiki Seal, the Four Symbols Seal, the Impure World Reincarnation, the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique and so on, all played a vital role in the Fourth Ninja World War in the future!

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to learn the ninjutsu recorded in the Sealed Book unless one has made great contributions or is directly affiliated with the Hokage's faction.

Not to mention his background, which is the Uchiha family.

"Hokage-sama, this is too precious."

Although he really wanted to agree directly, Uchiha Sogetsu still hesitated and acted very fearful.

"I know what you want to say, but I believe you, Uchiha Munetsuki."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, as if he knew what he wanted to say, and interrupted: "Although there are many misunderstandings and frictions between the Uchiha clan and the village, we are all people of Konoha Village after all. I can also see that you are different from them. You are a person with the will of fire!"

"Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Sogetsu showed a hint of emotion at the right time.

"Of course, this also includes my compensation to you." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hint of apology: "Let's leave the matter of Danzo here. I have already warned him that such a thing will not happen again in the future. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

I understand. Of course I understand.

Uchiha Sogetsu sneered in his heart, he had no intention of letting Danzo go, understanding was of no use, the only thing he should do was to make the other party "understand" as well.

Of course, he still had to give the Hokage face, so he pretended to be silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, Hokage. The situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more tense. The Root led by Danzo is an indispensable force for Konoha. I will put an end to this matter."

That being said, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is pure bullshit.

If he really cared so much about Konoha's internal strength, why would he bother to force White Fang to death?

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than political rhetoric, and everything is just for the purpose of centralizing power and excluding dissidents.

"Yes, I was right about you, Uchiha Munetsuki."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "At such a young age, you already have the thinking of a Hokage. It won't be long. Maybe one day in the future, even you from the Uchiha clan can become a Hokage!"

Ah, yes, yes, yes. Uchiha Sogetsu had a lukewarm reaction to his leader’s big promises.

With this level, I suggest you go back to your previous life for further study. Those 996 and blessings are much more empty promises than this profession.

After another round of chicken soup for the soul, Sarutobi Hiruzen was finally satisfied and handed him the prepared scroll: "It contains the ninjutsu of the Sealed Book. You can take a look. If there is anything you want to learn, I will arrange for someone to make a copy for you."

Naturally, it was impossible for him to see the original version of the Sealed Book.

Uchiha Sogetsu took the scroll and had already made up his mind about his choice, but he still pretended to search through it.

As expected, there is no record of Shiki Fuujin and Impure World Reincarnation here.

After a while, he closed the scroll and said, "Hokage-sama, I want to learn the Mutual Detonation Talisman."

"Multiplying Detonating Talisman?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was obviously a little surprised. He thought that Sogetsu would choose powerful ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God or Eight Gates Ninjutsu, but he didn't expect him to choose this. He couldn't help but frowned: "This is a ninjutsu that will kill both you and the enemy. If combined with the Shadow Clone Technique, it will consume a lot of chakra. Are you sure?"

"I am sure, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Sogetsu confirmed his choice again.

The Multiplying Detonating Talisman may be seen by others as just a ninjutsu used in conjunction with shadow clones for close-range self-destruction.

Although it is powerful, it consumes a lot of chakra and its role in battle is far less than that of more practical ninjutsu. But in his eyes, the value of the Multiplicative Explosive Talisman is countless times more important than ninjutsu such as the Shikigami Fuujin.

With this thing combined with the later stage Konan, even if the Six Paths Sage came, he would probably have to kneel down and call him daddy!

What about the Rasengan, the Tailed Beast Ball, and the Buddha on the Head? All of them have to stand aside!

September 12, sunny

The cold turned into a low-grade fever, and I had a severe cough. I went to get an IV drip after get off work, but I couldn't take it anymore. I felt my immunity had dropped significantly...

Chapter 47 Kakashi's Psychological Treatment

Seeing that Uchiha Sogetsu was so persistent, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not try to dissuade him anymore.

"Okay, since you insist, I can't say anything."

He relit his pipe, took two puffs, and then said slowly: "Then the second thing, I plan to let you be the invigilator of this year's Chunin Exam."

"what?"

Uchiha Sogetsu was stunned, and it was hard for him to follow his train of thought.

Generally, the invigilators of the Chunin Exam are directly descended from the Hokage.

Just like in the original work, the invigilators who served as the Chunin Exams of Naruto's generation: Gekko Hayate, Koji Tetsu, Kamijutsuki Izumo and others, basically all have a relationship with the Hokage series to some extent.

The advantage of this approach is that on the one hand it can promote the reputation of the Hokage, and on the other hand it is more convenient to train the Hokage's direct descendants.

Even if he is not a direct descendant of the Hokage, it is basically not the Uchiha's turn to participate in such a good opportunity to increase his reputation.

What is Sarutobi Hiruzen planning? Uchiha Munetsuki remained calm and said, "Hokage, I am an Anbu. Isn't this against the procedure?"

"It's okay, you don't have to think too much."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw through his concerns and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "Letting you supervise the Chunin Exam is both a trust in you and a test for you."
