Chapter 12 All for Konoha
"All for Konoha? Uchiha Fugaku really said that?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Itachi in surprise.
"Yes, Sarutobi-sama. I'm sorry, I couldn't bring Sarutobi Yoshito back."
Itachi Uchiha looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an apologetic look on his face.
Such a respectable old man has dedicated everything to the interests of Konoha Ninja Village.
But he couldn't even meet the other party's small requirements.
I was particularly happy about Uchiha Fugaku's change before, but now after returning to the Hokage Tower, the joy in my heart has almost disappeared.
All that was left was the guilt towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"It doesn't matter if you don't bring it back. Uchiha Fugaku is right. Naruto can't go beyond the rules. I'm not as good as him at this point.
Congratulations, Itachi. It seems that your father is completely different from other Uchiha family members. He can Having such a clan leader is a blessing to the Uchiha family and to Konoha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was particularly open-minded.
His consideration made Uchiha Itachi admire the other person even more.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's open-mindedness revealed his true nature.
Such a person deserves his respect.
After talking for a long time, Uchiha Itachi said goodbye and left.
ANBU still had some things to deal with.
After Uchiha Itachi left, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his leaving back, and the expression on his face became particularly ferocious in the blink of an eye.
"Uchiha Fugaku, the Uchiha clan, are so bold, aren't they afraid of death?" "
Humph!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance was completely different from usual.
Over the years, no one has dared to disobey his orders.
But today, an Uchiha Fugaku made Sarutobi Hiruzen completely lose his face.
Such a thing was simply a great shame and humiliation for him.
Whether to let Sarutobi Yoshito go or not is just a small matter.
What he likes is the attitude of the other party.
Sarutobi Yoshito was the only son of his deceased third brother. He had raised him as a half-son.
Sarutobi Purton, the eldest son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his wife are both elite Jonin of ANBU. The couple are both the right-hand men of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The second son Sarutobi Asuma is now one of the twelve guardian ninjas responsible for protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, an elite jounin.
Yoshito Sarutobi is still young and not very talented, so he is only a chuunin so far.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's third brother had died for Sarutobi Hiruzen more than ten years ago, so Sarutobi Hiruzen paid special attention to his nephew.
This also led to Sarutobi Yoshito contracting the habit of a playboy, and he has been doing many evil things, which Sarutobi Hiruzen deeply hates.
If he could take this opportunity to teach this boy a lesson, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be happy for it.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to lock him up in a secret cell of the police force for ten days.
But now that I have opened my mouth to let him go, but you don't take it seriously and insist on not letting him go, then the situation is different.
This was simply a provocation to him, the Hokage.
Where do you put me, the Hokage?
Those in the outside world must be laughing at him.
But it happened that Uchiha Fugaku made sense in every point and every word he said. He couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen particularly frustrated.
Even when fighting Danzo, his friend and foe, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no such experience.
He has always been a moral role model and has an invincible tongue.
Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted that he had made a mistake.
He had always thought that Uchiha Fugaku was just a loser who wanted to save face.
Being submissive and not knowing how to adapt.
The Uchiha family has declined so quickly, and he, the current clan leader, has no one else to shirk his responsibility for.
But now he realizes that Uchiha Fugaku is far from being as simple as he imagined.
Although Uchiha Fugaku was just an elite Jonin, his strength was not worth mentioning to him.
But the ability shown in this incident made him couldn't help but praise him.
Even he may not be able to do better in the same situation.
How could such a person not be worthy of his high regard?
It seems that Uchiha Fugaku has been pretending to be stupid all along.
His acting skills were really good, even Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost fooled.
This put some pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Sarutobi family wants to truly rise to the top and become a powerful family recognized by the entire ninja world.
It is necessary to get rid of the obstructive Uchiha family. Only by relying on the blood of the Uchiha family can the family grow and successfully ascend to power.
He has been eyeing the resources controlled by the Uchiha family for a long time.
There are only so many resources within Konoha's control, and most of them are in the hands of established families.
Although the Sarutobi family has risen rapidly, it does not control a lot of resources.
Totally unworthy of what Sarutobi Hiruzen had hoped for.
Only by plundering the resources of the Uchiha family can the Sarutobi family obtain the economic foundation for the family to continue to take off.
He had never taken these people from the Uchiha family seriously before, but now Uchiha Fugaku's outstanding performance forced him to treat them with caution.
He had to admit that Uchiha Fugaku's performance today was really outstanding.
He even wanted to get rid of the Uchiha family.
But he can't do that.
Compared to the combat power he possesses, the current Uchiha family is no match at all.
Just using the power of Anbu, Roots and the Sarutobi family is enough to crush the Uchiha family.
What's more, he also planted several bombs in the Uchiha family.
As long as the war officially begins, he can plunge the Uchiha family into chaos at any time.
But now he doesn't dare to touch the Uchiha family at all.
Before the Uchiha family officially launched a rebellion, they were members of the Leaf Village.
Even if he is the Hokage, he cannot casually start a war with such a wealthy clan.
Once he does this, it will be equivalent to pushing the Sarutobi family to the forefront of the storm.
Even if he could destroy the Uchiha family, he and the Sarutobi family would be feared by all other families in Konoha, even those in the ninja world.
This will narrow the road.
This situation was not what he wanted.
Only by destroying the Uchiha family after they reveal their disloyal intentions can we stop everyone's silence.
It's not that I want to kill them, who wants them to rebel?
The best thing to do is to let Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui take action.
Over the years, he has continuously strengthened the brainwashing and training of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, just for this day.
After investing a lot of resources, Uchiha Shisui already has the strength of the shadow level. Although Uchiha Itachi's strength is worse, at most three years, it is enough for him to step into the shadow level.
When the time comes, the two Kage-level experts will attack together, which will be enough to destroy the Uchiha family.
As long as the person who takes action is a member of the Uchiha family, no matter how dissatisfied the others are, there is nothing they can say.
"It's a pity... no matter what I did over the years, Uchiha Fugaku refused to take the initiative to launch a rebellion. Otherwise, how could things be so troublesome?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
In the Uchiha family, many people in the core group of people who resisted Konoha were related to him.
He has appeared in the Uchiha family after the growing rebellion in recent years.
However, under Uchiha Fugaku's firm suppression, the Uchiha family never followed the script he set.
Before this, he had always thought that Uchiha Fugaku was a coward.
But now...
"Has Uchiha Fugaku already seen through my plan?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and thought.
If so, things would be much more difficult to handle.
Fortunately, Uchiha Fugaku was just an elite jounin.
"If he were stronger, he would be able to be called a serious problem."
Regarding this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still very pleased.
