Chapter 6: The Hidden History of Konoha

[Sasuke, was reading until after midnight, and was able to successfully conclude the book on the history of Konoha written by the Uchiha clan, he had unexpected gains such as discovering that the book not only had the history of the village written, but also contained notes on important events, written by Uchiha Fugaku, his father and until not long ago leader of the Uchiha clan, it made sense to have taken it at home, but it is a more than welcome windfall.]

["I now have a general understanding of the history of the village from the concepts of its founding to information about what happened in the past decades, Senju and Uchiha jointly established Konoha, but Senju produced three Hokage, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama was the co-founder of the village, the second Hokage Senju Tobirama was the younger brother of the first Hokage, while the Third Hokage was a disciple of the Second Hokage, all good but, why did Uchiha not have any Hokage, nor any high position within of the political structure of the village?"]

["The logical thing would be to think that the Senju excluded the Uchiha clan out of resentment for the battles they fought among themselves, but we were not the only ones, for example in the Second Ninja World War, there was a Shinobi who was nicknamed 'the White Fang of Konoha' made outstanding contributions, his intelligence and power overwhelmed enemies on the battlefield, he was very loved and respected by all his companions and the village in general, he was even on the same level as the 3 legendary Sannin in a matter of tactical value, since its mere presence raised morale and deterred enemies."]

["According to my father's notes, the power of the White Fang was considered to rival even the Hokage he was a perfect candidate to occupy the mantle of Kage, both in reputation, achievements, and power, he had it all... but it happened a misfortune, during a mission he was involved in a critical situation and had to make a decision, he ended up saving the lives of his companions at the expense of the mission, the consequences were disastrous, the village lost several assets and resources, the people began to rejecting him socially, speaking insults, even the same people he saved began to blame him, the result was such that he ended up deciding to take his own life..."]

["In the Third Ninja World War, there was another outstanding Shinobi, 'Golden Flash' Namikaze Minato, he made great contributions on the battlefield by mastering various Shinobi techniques and arts, from FuinJutsu to mastering a Jutsu that until then Only the late second Hokage could completely master the Hiraishin no Jutsu, not only did he master it, but improved it, this being his distinctive mark and the reason he was so feared on the battlefield, hence his nickname of Golden Flash. , overwhelmed Orochimaru and became the Fourth Hokage... but soon died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion..."]

["After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha was suspected and the already tense situation was further affected, he was forced to relocate the clan, the Third Hokage left again and the village never elected the Fifth Hokage, In the 50th year of Konoha, Orochimaru, the former candidate for the Hokage position and former disciple of the third Hokage, defected..."]

[Sasuke closed the history book in his hand, although many things are recorded without beginning or end, fortunately, the records of several important events in Konoha's history are relatively complete.]

["My mind is full of all kinds of information.]

[Sasuke couldn't help but pinch his forehead.]

["What can you say about this? the only thought I have is that... The Third Hokage has been in office for a long time..."]

[Sasuke couldn't help but sigh, since the First Ninja World War, after being appointed as the Third Hokage by the Second Hokage, until now, the Third Generation has been in power for more than thirty years.]

[Sasuke's eyes flickered slightly and he guessed in his heart: "The Third Hokage has ruled Konoha for more than 30 years, will he be so foolish as to ignore what happened in the village? Especially such a big event! like the Uchiha genocide!"]

[No... that thought seems not to be correct, to begin with, if I were foolish I wouldn't have been able to stay in power for so long, so I can only think of two possible options: first the third Hokage twisted the truth about what happened because There is no point in telling me the truth at this moment, the second option is that he tried to manipulate me, and the situation itself, for purposes that I do not know but that in some way benefit him..."]

["The thought boils down to, the third Hokage is my ally or enemy… Which of these two is more likely?"]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onoki: "Is it even necessary to think about it? How is it possible that Sarutobi doesn't know anything? Furthermore, it is not a secret the delicate relationship that the second Hokage and the Uchiha clan had, even we in the rock village know it very well, and Hiruzen is Tobirama's disciple, of course, he inherited the hatred of the clan."

Fourth Raikage A: "If the Third Hokage were really that foolish, I'm afraid we Cloud Village would have already taken control of the Leaf Village, long ago!"

Terumi Mei: "A Hokage who has been in power for more than 30 years, anyone would be inclined to think that his ambition for power is excessive."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned black.

He never expected that Sasuke would analyze something at such a level of depth, in just one night he broke down a large part of the relationships and situations, both social and political, in the village...!

He found a fatal point in the power structure, and what is worse is that this is being transmitted, and everyone can see it, there is no use in trying to hide things, only to be denied in front of everyone and still sink. more in shame, and also that the enemies of the village did not miss the opportunity to create conflict in the ranks, especially that cunning old man Onoki...

Orochimaru was in a very good mood at the moment and looked jokingly at his teacher sitting next to him:

"Master Sarutobi, don't worry, think about how to defend yourself slowly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru angrily, took a deep breath, and said in the chat room:

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Age in power does not explain anything, acts have indeed been committed that, seen from a moralistic point of view, would seem unfair and even incorrect, but that is also having a biased mentality, the concept of what is correct and incorrect always change with time, but what is an undeniable fact is that we have always tried to do what is best for the village and its inhabitants, the duty no longer of a Hokage but of a leader, is to always see for stability and the best for the majority, although it is sad it is impossible to see for the well-being of everyone as individuals, my job is to be the point of stability for the village and make sure it stays afloat, this is my home and I will defend him with my life, until there is nothing left of me..."

Onoki: "Do you think that saying that justifies all the embezzlements and conspiracies that took place? It is very easy to speak from a position of power while you enjoy the comforts, and at the same time so many misfortunes happen in your so-called 'home', and coincidentally the misfortunes that happen only ensure your status as leader and eliminate any possible option to replace you, at least it seems strange to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "¿? How strange that you didn't bite your tongue when you said that... considering that you have even been in power longer than me, for people like us it should be clear that Unfortunately, the idealistic concept of peace is not possible, it is not possible as long as there are people with excessive ambition, which also makes it difficult to find a suitable candidate to replace me. I don't have to convince you that the one who wants to find a replacement the most is me, carrying the mantle of Kage is a huge responsibility, It's not just about sitting down to organize paperwork while I enjoy my pipe, and unfortunately, no matter how much I want to continue defending my house, I can't beat time."

"The new generation will carry the future of the village, as long as the will of fire continues to burn in their hearts, progress will be continuous, and do you accuse Us of conspiracies? Please, which village, country, or culture is clean of dirt? Or do you want me to remind you about your ninja defectors, your dirty dealings with criminal organizations, your countless war crimes, and all the times you've broken trade and peace agreements, once you thought you had a chance to outdo us in battle, but It always ends the same way, with you defeated and paying compensation, or am I wrong?"

Onoki: "Hiruzen!... you!..."

Onoki's old and wrinkled face, it seemed that it could not frown anymore, he felt the weight of the words of the cunning old man Hiruzen, without a doubt his speaking skills had not diminished with time, not only was it justified, but He turned the situation around, not satisfied with that, he still humiliates his Shinobi, remembering the past battles in which they have lost, as much as he would like to refute and declare war, he has to control himself and calm down, although it is annoying and frustrating what he said is true.

It's not that he doesn't believe he doesn't have the power to confront and defeat the Leaf this was the best and weakest time for the Leaf village, with the three Sannin away, the Hokage old, the number reduced. of elite Jonin after the last war, a novice Jinchuriki, but he knew that it would not be just them, a war always leads to attrition, and after concluding the war, without a doubt the other nations would intervene and they, being exhausted, would not have the strength necessary to face them.

He had to swallow his words and only responded:

Onoki: "Hmp!... There is no point in talking about these matters, at this moment we have another matter to resolve first, we still don't know how long this strange screen in the sky will last, but rest assured that you will regret it. your shameless words, once this is all over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "We will see in due course…"

Orochimaru: "Tsk, boring."

Fourth Raikage A: "Enough blather, I want to know what happens next with the Uchiha brat."

Terumi Mei: "..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[The next day, Sasuke returned directly to the ninja school, ignoring all the comments from others about the Uchiha genocide, Sasuke directly took out the history book taught at the academy and began to leaf through it, trying to compare the information he He came there, with the one he had read at home, and to his surprise it was more impressive than he thought.]

[In addition to a lot of missing information, the founding of the village was only vaguely mentioned, practically all of the detailed content was about the time of the third Hokage's rule, and yet they omitted important facts, for example, the name of the 'white fang' was never appeared in the book, and as for the fourth Hokage, he only talks about how he was considered a hero and that he died in the attack of the nine-tails, but he does not go into detail about his abilities or his achievements, and he is only mentioned by name, As for the 3 legendary Sannin, it only says that they were disciples of the third but does not go into details...]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned inwardly, 'It seems that he will continue to investigate everything, what is worrying is that I cannot discern the limit of this version of the young Uchiha...'

It is too complicated to deal with the situations it causes...!!!
