19 Chapter 19: The tampered truth

Hyuga Nàiluò and Uchiha Shisui looked at each other.

Is Sarutobi Hiruzen the strongest Hokage?

What a joke, who can he beat!

Although it is a bit disrespectful to think this way, Shisui couldn't help but do so.

First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!

If you don't count the gods among men from a thousand years ago, he can definitely be called the strongest Shinobi ever!

If you had to  to ask other villages' hokages. Although they wouldn't want to admit it, they would pinch their noses and say:

Senju Hashirama is completely capable of defeating any Hokage in history.

A Shinobi who can completely reshape the landscape of any map, a ninja still known to this day is known as the God of Shinobi!

Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, a man who created most of not all the Forbidden Jutsu and a master of Water Style!

It is said that the Flying Thunder God jutsu alone is almost unsolvable.

Hyuga Nàiluò still remembers that there were rumors in his previous life that the Second Hokage was a ninja who signed a contract with the sea.

It can also be seen how strong the Water Release from the Second Hokage is!

And the Fourth Hokage's Namikaze Minato, his Flying Thunder God Technique is even stronger than that of the Second Hokage as he completed it and took it to level 2 being able to travel with people.

Even after being locked in Shinigami's belly for more than ten years, his Kurama Chakra Mode was turned on within seconds after he came out.

He said that he was not as good as Jiraiya, but the result was that he could go into Sage Mode within seconds.

Then ask yourself, who can the Third Hokage compare to?

"Itachi, why do you think so?"

Shisui was a little confused.

"In the Shinobi Academy, it was written in the textbook…"

Uchiha Itachi's voice became smaller and smaller.

Obviously, he seems to have found the problem.

However, for this thought, he has never seriously pondered about it before.

"Leave aside the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage, the strength of the First Hokage is recorded in the clan documents." Shisui said.

As the old rival of the Senju clan, the Uchiha has a very detailed account of the ninja who once defeated them.

In the beginning, the Uchiha clan did not lose continuously to the Senju clan as it was to Senju Hashirama that they lost to.

The multiple battles between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama are like playing cards:

Uchiha Madara: My Mangekyō Sharingan, Susanoo!

(A.N- Once a user awakens the Mangekyō in both eyes,  they are able to perform Susanoo, even without either eye. )

Senju Hashirama: Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees.

Uchiha Madara: My eternal Mangekyō, 

Complete Body — Susanoo!

Senju Hashirama: Wood Release:  Wood Dragon Technique, Wood Golem Jutsu.

Uchiha Madara: Susanoo + Nine Tailed Beast Fusion!

(a.n- have no idea what's this called )

Senju Hashirama: Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands .

Thinking about it this way, Uchiha Madara's life can be said to be a bit sour…

"If the First Hokage talent and strength made him the strongest Hokage in history, then why…"

Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself.

Why was it written in the textbook that the Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage?

"You mean, the textbook in the Shinobi Academy said that the Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage?"

Hyuga Nàiluò asked with interest.

He remembers clearly that it wasn't like this when he was in the ninja academy.

He was born in Konoha in the 34th year, and attended the Shinobi Academy in the 40th year.

At that time, Konoha's White Fang was not dead, and the Sannin were still here.

The textbook only said that under the leadership of the Third Hokage, Konoha reached it's peak in history.

"I remember that it wasn't written in the textbook during study at the academy."

Shisui said the same.

His age is much younger than Hyuga Nàiluò, Hatake Kakashi and others.

However, he also remembered clearly that it was not written in the textbook that the the Third Hokage was the strongest Hokage!

"I probably understand."

Thinking of Uchiha Itachi's age, Hyuga Nàiluò nodded thoughtfully.

"Itachi, you enrolled after the Nine Tails chaos. At that time, the Fourth Hokage died, and the Third Hokage came to power again."

"After the Third Hokage abdicated from the position after the 3rd Great Shinobi War, because the village suffered too many casualties he resigned."

"So Lord Third needed to strengthen his influence in this way and ensure the stability of his position?" Uchiha Itachi subconsciously continued Hyuga Nàiluò's words.

After speaking, Uchiha Itachi wanted to slap himself.

For the first time, he resented his intelligence.

"Yes." Hyuga Nàiluò looked at Uchiha Itachi approvingly.

With a little hint, he was able to find the answer on his own.

Even if he can get rid of some brainwashed psychological cues, he can still think of many things on his own.

"For the sake of the power in his hands and the deeds he has hidden, the truth has had to be tampered with."

"If you understand this, then what the Third Hokage did will be much more clear." Hyuga Nàiluò continued.

"A qualified Hokage should not allow villagers to make unreasonable sacrifices of themselves for the peace of the entire village."

"For a person who has a basic moral level, they  can only decide to sacrifice themselves."

"We cannot ask others to sacrifice for themselves for us."

"In this case, the Third Hokage chose to let me make the decision to sacrifice my self. The purpose is obvious."

"Suppress!"

Uchiha Itachi blurted out again.

Then….. he couldn't wait to punch himself.

"Suppress…who does he want to suppress?"

Shisui murmured to himself.

Compared to Uchiha Itachi, he has much  more psychological barriers thus making it hard for him to accept these truths.

As a result, even if the answer is near, he would be unwilling to believe it.

"Suppress the Hyuga, suppress the Uchiha, suppress those who question his power, authority and status and suppress those who will affect his position as the Hokage."

(A.N- does power, authority and status mean the same or similar thing ?)

Hyuga Nàiluò said like a gun firing one after another.

"Suppress the Uchiha?" Shisui asked back, "Is there anything wrong with the Uchiha?"*
