Chapter 285 Sarutobi Hiruzen who secretly caused waves. (Please subscribe to the monthly pass!)
Akira Hatake with complicated thoughts left Orochimaru's test base, and then the picture suddenly changed.
In the spacious backyard of the Sarutobi clan's residence, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was presiding over a meeting.
Although he has resigned from Konoha's Hokage position, the power in his hand has been almost disintegrated by Namikaze Minato.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since Hiruzaru Sarutobi served as the Third Hokage, he has cultivated quite a few loyal subordinates.
In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the patriarch of the Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Sarutobi Hiruzen is the only leader of the Sarutobi Hiruzen, which leads to a considerable number of people Sarutobi Hiruzen can mobilize.
After Akira Hatake was "injured", Hiruzaru Sarutobi began to move around, planning to regain his power.
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not say that to the outside world, he could only use some beautiful words to whitewash his real purpose of launching the Konoha civil strife.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not ignorant, even though Akira Hatake has been in a wheelchair after being "injured", there are still two top fighters around Namikaze Minato's side.
Even if Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi's father and son were weaker than Hatake Akira, they were not far behind.
Coupled with Namikaze Minato himself, the three of them can form an army and do things that no one can imagine.
Therefore, Hiruza Sarutobi needs to wait, and needs to wait for an excellent opportunity to make a move.
And today, he finally got this opportunity.
"Everyone be quiet."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his arm, and the members of the Hiruzaru Sarutobi clan and the old Hiruzaru Sarutobi clan who sneaked in fell silent for a moment.
Clearing his throat, Hiruzaru Sarutobi began to explain why he called the members of the Sarutobi clan and his former members to a meeting today.
"Konoha is no longer the same Konoha..."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's tone was low, and a painful expression appeared on his face at the right time, "The second Hokage suggested that the will of fire perfected by me was tampered with by the fourth, turning Konoha into a full-fledged war machine."
"This is not the village we want, and it's not the peace we want."
"I admit that the various strengths of the village have become stronger and stronger under the influence of the fourth generation, but behind this strength lies a huge and incomparable danger."
"The new will of fire, to put it bluntly, is an idea that advocates war. When the village is strong enough, war will definitely come again."
"When war comes, sacrifice has become inevitable."
"And the sacrifice is two-way, there are us, and there are other people who were dragged into the quagmire of war by the fourth generation."
"Everyone has parents, wives and children, relatives and friends, but if one person sacrifices, the scope of the chain reaction will be very, very wide..."
"And behind this chain reaction, what often breeds is hatred, engraved and unforgettable hatred!"
"Once hatred breeds, it will accompany a person's life, and even spread to his own children and grandchildren. This is a potential factor for the outbreak of war."
After a pause, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked around, and his eyes swept over everyone's cheeks.
Seeing expressions of approval on everyone's faces, Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled in satisfaction.
"The fourth generation is still young. Although there are some old and experienced ninjas assisting him, the fourth generation has gone into a misunderstanding."
After the foreshadowing, Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed his spearhead at Namikaze Minato, wanting to achieve many of his goals by attacking Namikaze Minato.
"This misunderstanding is the will of the new fire that he implemented."
"Of course, the Will of the New Fire is not without its merits. I still agree with some of the ideas."
"But there is only one thing, I hate it from the bottom of my heart!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his right arm high, raised a finger and shook it in the air, "The new will of fire contains erroneous ideas advocating war!"
"As I said before, war must involve sacrifice, and sacrifice must give birth to hatred, and hatred will eventually turn into the fuse of war!"
"Back and forth like this, the ninja world will surely fall into the quagmire of war, and your descendants will die miserably in the endless fighting."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi lowered his brows and eyes, and his voice became low again, as if there was a magic power to confuse people's hearts.
"The original intention of the establishment of the village was for peace, but after the fourth generation came to power, it completely negated the efforts of our generations. I will never allow this to happen!"
"I hate war, and I hate those who start wars even more. Although I don't want to admit it, you have seen a series of things that happened recently. The fourth generation is the chief culprit who provoked large-scale wars in the future!"
"For the sake of the peaceful future of our descendants, I think you should unite with me to let the fourth generations reflect on their mistakes!"
"Yes, let the fourth generation reflect on their mistakes!"
"Master Sandaime, we will always follow you!"
"Sir Third Generation, please speak, we are willing to advance and retreat with you for the sake of peace!"
"Master Sandaime, we..."
All the people who came to participate in the Sarutobi Hiruzen meeting were full of enthusiasm, and the echoes one after another were really not small.
In this regard, Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a gratified look on his face, and his hearts are available!
"Okay, everyone be quiet."
When everyone's emotions were almost vented, Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his arms and spoke again.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's prestige is here, and under the pressure of raising his hand, everyone present fell silent.
"I understand everyone's urgency, because like you, I am also very worried about the future of the village and the entire ninja world."
"But... I have abdicated after all."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words were full of disappointment, "I think that many things can no longer be brought about by my wishful thinking, and I am very powerless now..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's emotions quickly infected everyone present, and simultaneously awakened a series of unfair treatment they had suffered since Namikaze Minato came to power.
Once the emperor and the courtiers, Namikaze Minato will naturally reuse his subordinates after he takes over the position, and indirectly or directly push the old department of Sarutobi Hiruzen out of the center of his circle.
This kind of thing is inevitable, although Namikaze Minato is doing his best to make up for it, but once a crack occurs, it is simply unrealistic to make up for it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has spent most of his life at the power center of Konoha, and his political acumen is obviously not comparable to Namikaze Minato's current level.
He quickly identified the differences and conflicts that inevitably arise during the transfer of power, and seized the opportunity to take advantage of them.
Seeing that everyone in the audience was filled with righteous indignation, Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled even more, and the confidence in his heart also deepened.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged, let alone depressed. As long as we unite as one, we can not only get Konoha back on track, but also get back everything we lost before."
"Master Hokage III, no matter what you say, we will follow to the end!"
"Master Hokage III, we will definitely follow you!"
"Master Hokage III, the new will of fire cannot save Konoha, let alone Ninja World, the peace of Konoha and Ninja World depends on you!"
"The Third Hokage-sama..."
The cheers instantly resounded through the residence of the Sarutobi clan, and the commotion was not small or big, but if someone wanted to peep, it shouldn't be difficult to find out.
but……
"Master Hokage III, we have captured Anbu's intelligence ninja, look..."
The family ninja of the Sarutobi clan escorted an Anbu ninja wearing an animal mask, and brought him to Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked.
"Seal his memory and let him go."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand, there was no sorrow or joy in the expression on his face, only the kindness and kindness unique to his age.
"But in case..."
"No chance." Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan, "Although he belongs to Anbe, he is still a member of the village. I can't blame the fourth generation for being confused for a while."
"Yes! I see."
The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan nodded repeatedly when they agreed loudly, with admiration for Sarutobi Hiruzen on their faces.
It has to be said that what Sarutobi Hiruzen did at this time gave him another wave of points, fully showing his compassionate and generous character.
But only those who are familiar with Sarutobi Hiruzen know that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a well-known person who has one thing before and another thing behind.
Waving their hands behind them vaguely, the two former members of the Hokage Guard nodded imperceptibly, and then disappeared into the darkness.
And these two ninjas who disappeared are Konoha's special jnin and are similar to Yamashiro Aoba.
A small episode flashed by, causing Hiruzaru Sarutobi to earn a wave of favorability points in front of everyone, and also brought the meeting to a climax.
"The Third Hokage-sama is really kind..."
"Yes, I feel that it is more suitable to be the hokage of the village than the fourth generation. At least the third generation will consider us personally."
"Who says it's not the case? The fourth generation ruled out dissidents as soon as they came to power, and I also heard that the fourth generation approved the human experiment of Orochimaru!"
"What?! Orochimaru is conducting human trials?"
"You don't know?"
"Where do I go to find out, I'm currently leading an idle job, how can you be well-informed?"
"Then let me tell you..."
The people who came to the meeting whispered to each other, and from the matter of praising Sarutobi Hiruzen, under the guidance of caring people, they quickly transferred to Orochimaru.
Obviously, this is the person Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately arranged, and his purpose is self-evident.
The question of the will to challenge Shinhino alone is not enough to make Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato step down.
This can only reflect that there are subtle problems with Namikaze Minato's ruling policy. After corrections, Namikaze Minato is still Konoha's Fourth Hokage.
But if there is a problem with Namikaze Minato's character...
It's not a matter of simply changing the ruling policy, it will be forced to abdicate!
And if you want to prove that there is a problem with Namikaze Minato's character, nothing can be more convincing than Namikaze Minato supporting Orochimaru for human trials.
"Be quiet."
Feeling that the groundwork was almost done, Hiruzaru Sarutobi spoke again to remind everyone present to silence at the same time.
"I just heard someone say... Human experiments are going on in the village?"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned deeply, the anger in his words could easily be heard, "This is nonsense!"
"Whether it is voluntary or forced, human experimentation must be avoided, otherwise the village will fall into the darkest moment of panic!"
"Yes, the third Hokage-sama."
As soon as Sarutobi's words fell, someone jumped out to express support, "Human experimentation is the most evil kind of experiment in the world, no matter good or bad, we should put an end to it."
"That's true." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, and then a sad look appeared on his face, "But I heard...the human experiment was led by the fourth generation, and Orochimaru implemented it...I..."
"Ugh!"
Sighing heavily, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face was full of self-blame, "It's all my fault. There was a problem with the way I taught Orochimaru, and there was a problem with my vision when I was selecting candidates for Hokage."
"I didn't expect that the fourth generation could actually support such an evil thing happening inside the village. This simply ignores the principles of human ethics!"
"Master Hokage III, I beg you to act. If this trend continues, Konoha's future will be worrying!"
"That's right, the third Hokage-sama, the fourth generation's mind is really too dark, he has failed our expectations."
"Master Hokage III, only in your hands can Konoha truly move towards peace and light!"
"Master Hokage III, it's time for you to act!"
"Yes! Let the fourth generation step down!"
"Let the fourth step down!"
"Let the fourth step down!"
"Let the fourth step down!"
After a lot of accusations, the people who came to the meeting quickly reached a consensus, and Namikaze Minato became the first target to attack.
"This……"
Sarutobi Hiruzak knew that people's hearts were available, but no matter how ecstatic his heart was, there was still a hesitant expression on his face.
"I understand everyone's feelings, but the fourth generation is now full-fledged, and this matter is not so easy to succeed."
"And even if it succeeds, the process will inevitably be accompanied by a bloodbath, which will not benefit the village or everyone!"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words were sincere, and everyone present broke out again after a short silence!
"Master Hokage III, please stand up again for the future of the village!"
"Stand up again!"
"Master Hokage III, please stand up again!"
"Master Hokage III, please stand up again!"
Seeing the roar and tsunami of the people below, the big stone in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart fell to the ground suddenly, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but a sincere smile appeared.
He raised his hand and pressed, "Everyone, be quiet."
"I know that everyone thinks there is a problem with the fourth generation, not only in terms of governance policy, but also in terms of character."
"But everyone should understand that even if I am willing to stand up and rectify the bad atmosphere in the village, the process will inevitably be accompanied by blood and fire."
"For the sake of everyone's lives and future prospects, I think it's best to wait a little longer."
"But..." Someone under the stage stretched his neck and spoke.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't give that person a chance to continue, "No but!"
"Everyone makes mistakes, and the fourth generation is the same, so don't mention the matter of launching a coup without authorization."
Hiruza Sarutobi said, "Initiating a coup without authorization is irresponsible to Konoha, and it is also irresponsible to you and me."
"So I'm going to go and persuade the fourth generation first. It's best if he knows his mistake and correct it. If he can't..."
"Then let's have a long-term discussion and see how we should deal with it in the end."
It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzane took all the good things and all the good people were Sarutobi Hiruzane, but these are no longer the center of everyone's attention.
They are now full of support for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and their attitude towards Namikaze Minato has also evolved from the previous dislike to the current indignation and disgust.
As everyone knows, this is the main reason why Hiruzaru Sarutobi called everyone to the meeting.
It is necessary to unite all those who are dissatisfied with Namikaze Minato, so that Sarutobi Hiruzen's next actions can be carried out smoothly.
"Okay, let's leave everyone, this meeting will end here."
Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the end of the meeting. He was still a little afraid that if it lasted for a long time, it would cause some unnecessary troubles.
The people present were a little bit reluctant, but since Hiruzaru Sarutobi had spoken, they naturally had no reason not to obey.
When the crowd gradually dispersed, Hiruzaru Sarutobi found a seat quietly and sat down slowly.
He untied the long pipe from his waist, squeezed the shredded tobacco from the small cloth bag, put it into the pipe and pressed it tightly.
A cluster of flames lit up at the fingertips, and he lit the tobacco and took a deep puff.
"call……"
White smoke filled the air, covering Sarutobi Hiruzen, making it difficult to see his specific expression at this time.
Swish.
There was a soft sound, Sarutobi Hitomi did not turn his head back, and was still enjoying the short-term pleasure brought by tobacco.
"Like, what's going on."
After another two sips, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked the same person kneeling on one knee behind him.
"Master Sandaime, the information ninjas from Anbu have already dealt with it."
"Didn't you leave a tell?"
"Please rest assured, Lord III, Aoba and I will definitely not let anyone find out the clues."
"Well, I'm still very relieved that the two of you are doing things."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded slightly, turned around with a pipe in his hand and looked at the same foot and Aoba Yamashiro, "Contact our Akatsuki organization, have you investigated their details?"
"Third Hokage-sama, after our investigation, the Akatsuki Organization is a mercenary organization in the Land of the Rain. The leader is code-named Zero, and most of the members of the organization are rebels from other villages."
"Their purpose is also very simple, it is for money."
"They can do anything for their employer as long as the money is there."
Listening to the identical reports, Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned slightly, apparently considering the pros and cons of some things.
"I always feel that the purpose of the Akatsuki organization is not simple..."
"A powerful person, even the Renren who betrayed the village, is unlikely to use money as a bond to unite the leaders of the Akatsuki organization."
"Rebellion, but they are all a group of rebellious bloodthirsty ninjas..."
"Although there are various suspicious places, so far, I have no choice."
After taking two puffs of cigarettes hard, Sarutobi Hirzen made a decision after weighing the pros and cons, "Like, contact Zero, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and say that I agree to hire them."
"Yes, Third Hokage-sama!"
Together with Aoba Yamashiro, there was only Hiruzaru Sarutobi left in the entire courtyard.
Looking up at the full moon in the sky, Hiruzaru Sarutobi had an uncertain expression on his face.
"Watergate……"
"Don't blame me, blame yourself if you want to."
"You chose to believe in someone you shouldn't, and you chose a path you shouldn't have chosen!"
Click!
Sarutobi Hiruzen pinched the long pipe in the middle, threw it away, and Sarutobi Hiruza turned and walked into his study.
As the study door was closed, the lights inside stretched Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure very, very long...
A new round of undercurrents is about to take place!
