Chapter 44
"So, let's not waste our thoughts on the position of Hokage. And since Danzo is still speaking frankly to us under such circumstances, it is enough to show his sincerity. Shikaku, you will hand over the interests that were taken away from the Uchiha clan afterwards. Don't worry, Danzo has promised me that he will not deliberately target you."
Looking at the uneasy Nara Shikaku and others, Tsunade persuaded them in a soothing voice.
"Haha, Master Tsunade, you think too highly of us Ino-Shika-Chou. Now the situation is stronger than we are. This is already the best result. No, it is even a little beyond our expectations."
With two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha clan has been able to do so well over the years.
It seems that they have been waiting for a legitimate opportunity.
What a terrible clan.
It turns out that we are the stupid ones.
I used to think that the Uchiha clan was just so-so.
Now it seems that I, Nara Shikaku, am short-sighted.
The Uchiha clan is indeed one of the two great families that can be as famous as the Senju clan in building the village.
No, judging from the results, the Uchiha clan is much smarter than the Senju clan.
Now Tsunade is the only one left in the main line of the Senju clan, while the Uchiha clan is becoming more and more prosperous.
It turns out that hiding one's shortcomings and pretending to be stupid is also a means.
On the contrary, it is us who are...
He was too clever for his own good.
If Tsunade hadn't informed him in advance, the inheritance of the Ino, Deer and Chou clans might have been defeated by him.
Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to the Uchiha clan to talk with Fugaku.
Maybe at that time, Fugaku thought he was no different from a clown? He seemed to have made a fool of himself...
It was embarrassing to think about it.
The Uchiha clan had allied with Danzo, and he was actually thinking of joining forces with the Uchiha clan to deal with Danzo...
Isn't this just giving him the benefit of the doubt? Maybe the reason why Danzo confessed to Tsunade was because he was afraid that he and others would be too clever and cause trouble for Konoha~
"Well, it's best if you can understand. Although the Uchiha guys have bad tempers, they are fellow Konoha after all, and they won't do anything excessive to you."Looking at the attitude of Shikaku and others, Tsunade was relieved.
"Tsunade, I plan to investigate the old man. Although Danzo said so, we can't just listen to Danzo's one-sided words. The old man has indeed done a lot of stupid things over the years, but at least he should be given a chance to explain. Besides, no matter what, the old man is also the third generation of Konoha, and we can't let him work under Uchiha Madara."
To be honest, Jiraiya has no intention of clearing his teacher, but we can't let the third generation of Konoha Hokage be controlled by Uchiha Madara all the time, right? Even if this third generation Hokage is only in name only.
"Haha, Jiraiya, you are such an idiot, you are so arrogant, who do you think you are? That's the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, and there's also a ninja legend named Uchiha Madara. They probably didn't come to trouble Konoha because of the two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. You're going to die on your own initiative, do you really think the title of Shura of the ninja world is bought with money?"
Looking at Jiraiya's plan, Tsunade suddenly understood why Danzo looked at her with such a caring and idiotic look last night.…………
"…………
"………"
"……Master Jiraiya, I think what Master Tsunade said is right. You should think carefully about it. With the strength of the other party, you will at most make another sacrifice. You may even become a minion of Uchiha Madara."The
Sandaime and Uchiha Madara are scary enough. If Master Jiraiya is added... the consequences are unimaginable.
"Did you hear me? Jiraiya, use your brain before you act. You know the old man's strength. Although it has declined over the years due to his age, it is not so easy to defeat him."
Alas, if there was no Uchiha Madara, this matter could still be solved. The problem now is that no one knows how much strength Uchiha Madara still has. According to the records of the clan history, even if the opponent only has half of his strength left, we will just be sending food to him.……
"Uh... I didn't think it through, but doesn't the Uchiha clan also have the Mangekyō Sharingan? Can we ask them for help?"
After being reminded by Tsunade and Shikaku, Jiraiya laughed awkwardly, and then thought of the Uchiha clan.
"Haha, what are you thinking? Our Third Hokage was thinking about how to destroy the Uchiha clan. Do you think the Uchiha clan doesn't know about this? Now you want the Uchiha clan to risk sacrificing the owner of the Mangekyō to face the Shura of the Ninja World for the Third Hokage? Jiraiya, you are treating the Uchiha clan as a big enemy.……"
Not to mention that the other party is planning to destroy the Sandaime of the Uchiha clan, even if he is Uchiha Fugaku's biological father, the Uchiha clan probably won't sacrifice a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan for him. No one understands the importance of Mangekyō to the Uchiha clan better than our Senju clan.
"…………Is there no hope at all? We should give everything a try, right?"Jiraiya still had some hope. After all, he was the Sandaime of Konoha. Even though he might be just a puppet, he had been in power for so many years and the countless secrets of Konoha he controlled were real. These things must not be revealed.
"What hope is there? Are you, Jiraiya, very well-respected among the Uchiha clan? In this situation, we are not the ones in control of the situation, but with the relationship between Danzo and the Uchiha clan, after they take control of Konoha, they will not let the Sandaime, who controls all the secrets of Konoha, get away with it.
Let's not waste our time on this and make ourselves suffer.
The more capable, the more work.
Since they are in power, they will naturally do these things.
Why should we try to please them?"
Tsunade is very open-minded about these things. No matter who becomes Hokage, it is impossible for him to let a guy like the Sandaime get away with it. From this point of view, it may not be a bad thing for Danzo and the Uchiha clan to take the throne.
"Well, I agree with Lady Tsunade's idea. Since we are powerless, let's hand it over to capable people. The Uchiha clan has a bad temper, but they are still very reliable when it comes to getting things done."
I don't know which one is more powerful, the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan or the legendary Shura in the ninja world~ Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not something that our Nara clan should worry about.
"Hmm? Is this still possible? This... this seems to be quite good~ Tsunade, you are such a genius!"
Using the manpower of the Uchiha clan to handle Konoha's affairs is quite good...
