Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"Nonsense! How can such a thing be decided so easily?" Danzo resolutely refused.

—This perfectly illustrates that the first thing one does when one has power is to forget one's roots.

Koharu, turning to the next room, subconsciously glanced at Renya, her expression seeming to say, "Why is this different from what you said before?"

Lian Ye turned her head away, pretending not to see her gaze.

He just said it casually, I didn't expect Xiaochun to take it seriously.

Although the Hokage advisor doesn't have much real power, this position always influences some of the Hokage's decisions.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

I wonder if Danzo will agree to this.

After all, in the original work, these people were advisors to the Hokage...

"Danzo, you can't forget your brothers just because you've become Hokage!" Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses. "I saved you several times back then."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Danzo with anticipation.

"Alright, I can appoint you as Hokage advisors, but you won't have any real power."

This position was originally intended for Hiruzen, but since Hiruzen is now serving as the Hokage's assistant, it's not really needed.

Since that's the case, let's give it to them.

……

……

P.S.: I'll speed up the pace a bit, otherwise you'll all say I'm padding the video, sob sob...

Chapter 340 Stopping the Uchiha Rebellion

Everyone got their wish and obtained the position of Hokage advisor.

Even though Renya had no interest in the position, Danzo still insisted on appointing him as the Hokage's advisor.

Perhaps Danzo felt that everyone else had it, but Renya couldn't be without it!

And so, this group of people, who had been friends with Danzo since childhood, gained considerable status in the village.

The happiest person among them was none other than Uchiha Kagami.

He felt that if he obtained the position of advisor, the discontent among his tribe would be alleviated.

In fact it is.

When the Uchiha clan members learned of this, their discontent subsided considerably.

It seems that Danzo Shimura was a stronger Hokage than Tobirama Senju, at least allowing the Uchiha clan to hold advisory positions within the village.

The Hokage's advisor must have some real power, right?

Many members of the clan harbor illusions: the Uchiha currently hold the position of advisor, and it's not impossible for them to become Hokage in the near future!

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village seems to be gradually dissipating.

Uchiha Kagami was very pleased with this change, but he dared not tell his clansmen the truth, rendering his position as Hokage advisor meaningless.

They have the right to make suggestions, but not the right to make decisions.

He's essentially just an advisor; he can only offer suggestions, and whether or not they're adopted is up to the Hokage.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan members did not press the matter and tacitly acknowledged that the Hokage advisor held real power.

This led to a significant rise in Uchiha Kagami's status within the clan, transforming him from a marginalized figure into the pride of the Uchiha clan.

Jing was flattered and somewhat apprehensive by the sudden change.

He was afraid his people would find out the truth...

The Tobirama Senju residence.

"You mean, you want to be an advisor with real power?" Lianye looked at Uchiha Kagami with some shock.

When did this guy start caring about the amount of power?

In his mind, Jing, like himself, was not interested in power.

I never expected that after only a few days as an advisor, I would become someone who fights for power and profit.

Indeed, power can easily corrupt a person's will!

"Um, Renya-kun, can you help me think of a solution?" Uchiha Kagami scratched his head sheepishly.

He didn't dare to go to Danzo alone, so he came to Renya for help.

They didn't want their clansmen to know the truth, thus further escalating the conflict between the family and the village.

If one has real power, such things can be avoided.

Uchiha Kagami told Renya the whole story.

"You mean... you want real power just to keep the Uchiha under control?" Renya's expression was strange.

It seems they didn't expect the Uchiha clan to be so easily satisfied, and were dismissed with just a powerless Hokage advisor.

In a way, Konoha has been very good to the Uchiha. They joined the village after their defeat and were even given control of the police force.

—A position that truly possesses law enforcement power!

The families that joined later did not receive such treatment.

Lianye had thought they had a very broad vision, but she was dismissed by a mere Hokage advisor.

Even if he did have real power, it wouldn't be nearly as much as the Hokage's!

"If I give you real power, will you be able to keep your clansmen in check?" Lian Ye couldn't help but ask.

Weren't those Uchiha clans clamoring for a coup to become Hokage? Why are they satisfied with just an advisory position now?

“Since I became the Hokage's advisor, discontent within the clan has gradually disappeared.” Uchiha Kagami smiled. “As long as I hold real power, I believe the clan members will no longer harbor thoughts of a coup.”

These days, the tribespeople's attitudes are genuine, and their complaints have noticeably decreased.

“You must understand that human desires are never satisfied.” Lianye looked at Jing’s hopeful face and explained, “The Uchiha clan has temporarily suppressed their discontent because you became an advisor.”

"But in a few years, they will develop even greater desires, and no matter how much power the advisors have, they will not surpass the power of the Hokage."

"At that time, they will once again harbor thoughts of a coup."

Never underestimate human nature and desire!

The current peace is only temporary, and more intense conflicts will definitely erupt in the future.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kagami's smile froze instantly.

He had never considered this issue before, and what Lianye said made perfect sense.

Based on his understanding of his people, he knew that such a thing was bound to happen sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

There are ways to change this situation, but they are extremely difficult.

That means someone from the Uchiha clan can become Hokage!

Uchiha Kagami knew very well that this possibility was extremely slim.

Unless the Uchiha clan launches a coup, but that would bring things back to square one—the fundamental conflict between the clan and the village.

"Renya, I understand." Uchiha Kagami lowered his head, clenching his fists in resentment. "But... I want to try!"

As long as he truly holds real power in the village, he will have a voice within the family.

At that time, I will be able to use my influence to dispel the extreme ideas of the hawks!

“Alright.” Lianye didn’t discuss the matter further. “I’ll go with you to find Danzo.”

Since Jing has his own ideas, let him be.

Once the Uchiha clan gets serious about something, almost no one can stop them.

Instead of wasting your breath trying to persuade him, it's better to let him see the truth for himself.

Hokage's office.

"You say giving you real power will stop the Uchiha rebellion?" Danzo looked at the mirror with suspicion.

Since becoming the Hokage's assistant and handling administrative affairs for his teacher, he has learned about the Uchiha hawks.

He didn't think those Uchiha guys would give up their coup plans because of something like this.

"Yes, Danzo, please believe me!" Uchiha Kagami said earnestly, "I will definitely be able to resolve the conflict between the village and the clan!"

"please!"

Danzo glanced at Uchiha Kagami, then looked at Renya, who remained silent to the side.

After a moment of silence, Danzo finally agreed, "I can give you real power, but you can't let me down."

"Thank you, Danzo!" Uchiha Kagami said excitedly, "I will never let you down!"

From this moment forward, he became the only one of the four advisors with real power.

"Okay, you go back first. I have something to discuss with Lianye."

Jing left the office with a joyful expression after hearing this without giving it much thought.

"Do you think he can succeed?" Danzo asked softly.

He didn't think the mirror could change the current state of the Uchiha clan; it was better for him, the Hokage, to handle such matters.

“Who knows?” Lian Ye shook her head gently. “But you can try to trust Jing, but don’t have too high hopes.”

If a powerful position could stop the Uchiha from rebelling, that old bastard Tobirama Senju would have done it long ago.

Danzo's eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "I hope the Uchiha don't do anything outrageous, or I will definitely not let them off!"

"Not in the short term," Lian Ye murmured softly.

"Hmph, who can know the specifics?" Danzo sneered.

In his view, the Uchiha rebellion was inevitable; it was just a matter of time.

If that day ever comes, he wouldn't mind eradicating the Uchiha clan completely!

Chapter 341 Is this your child?

Seeing the fleeting killing intent in Danzo's eyes, Renya couldn't help but speak up to warn him.

"Before the Uchiha coup, I hope you won't cause them any trouble."

He worried that Danzo might feel that the Uchiha clan posed a threat to the village's safety and then provoke the Uchiha, thus causing the conflict between the village and the Uchiha to erupt prematurely.

He knew Danzo's character very well and that he was very likely to do such a thing.

Both the Uchiha clan and Danzo are like powder kegs, ready to explode at any moment. If a conflict were to break out, it would be a fight to the death.

"I don't need you to remind me." Danzo glanced at Renya: "Our teacher already reminded me of this back then."

In fact, it wasn't just Renya; even Tobirama Senju was worried that Danzo would attack the Uchiha clan.

He repeatedly reminded the villagers of the importance of stability in Tuanzang.

In other words, as long as the Uchiha don't do anything outrageous, he can only turn a blind eye.

Although Danzo was very dissatisfied with the Uchiha's various actions, he still respectfully followed Tobirama's teachings.

"You've been lying around for so long, aren't you going to find something to do?" Danzo said with exasperation.

Back then, Lian Ye was working day and night on missions, and she was nothing like the颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or decadent) person she is now.

All they do every day is stay cooped up in their few hundred square meter courtyard, basking in the sun; they seem to have lost the ambition and aspirations of a ninja.

If all else fails, send him out on a mission!

"Danzo, you're just meddling in other people's business." Lianye shrugged helplessly. "Even the old man can't do anything about me, and you, the Hokage who's only been in office for a few days, think you can control me? Don't be naive!"

Being a ninja is just a job; lying down is life.

No one can stop him from living a wonderful life.

Danzo was speechless, but didn't know how to refute it.
