Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

[Until Obito found that controlling the Fourth Mizukage was becoming difficult, and with the intended or unintended interference from Fuguki Suikazan in Mizukage's actions, he decided to eliminate Fuguki Suikazan once and for all.]

[Kisame followed the orders, which on the surface seemed to come from the Fourth Mizukage but were actually from Obito. He made all the necessary preparations and ambushed Fuguki Suikazan, killing him.]

[However, some people believed that Fuguki Suikazan was actually a member of the previous generation, specifically the Third Mizukage's faction. The Third Mizukage was later controlled by Uchiha Madara, and Fuguki Suikazan was a remnant of the previous Mizukage's power. Obito, seeking to eliminate anything related to the Third Mizukage because of Rin's death, wanted to kill Fuguki Suikazan.]

[Of course, this claim is not confirmed by the author and has no real evidence; it's just a guess made by some onlookers.]

"Uchiha Madara even controlled the Third Mizukage?"

The Third Hokage's side was shocked upon reading this.

When Uchiha Madara is involved, it's never a small matter, and even if this is possibly an old, false rumor, they still had to treat it with caution.

"Now that you mention it, the things the Third Mizukage did toward the end of his reign do seem like actions someone would take if they were under someone's control."

"The Fifth Hokage is right. While the Third Mizukage was brutal and ruled by extreme violence in the Hidden Mist Village, he wasn't an idiot. He should have understood where the village's foundation lies. The persecution of the Kekkei Genkai Clans doesn't quite make sense."

If there's any village with the most Kekkei Genkai, it's undoubtedly the Hidden Mist Village.

The famous ones are: Ice Release, Boil Release, Lava Release, Shikotsumyaku, and Swift Release.

In addition to these five famous Kekkei Genkai, there are others that are less known.

Logically speaking, with so many Kekkei Genkai, the Hidden Mist Village's combat strength should be quite strong.

But in reality, the Hidden Mist Village has never been considered the strongest among the five great ninja villages. During the Second Mizukage's time, it was barely on par with the Hidden Stone.

Not only was the village's combat strength not the strongest, but their Mizukage also persecuted the Kekkei Genkai Clans, weakening the village's strength even further. Such actions are hard to understand.

"It sounds like the Hidden Leaf Village has never done anything like that," Seeing the Third Hokage and the others passionately discussing the matter, Sasuke couldn't help but snicker.

"Sasuke, when has the Hidden Leaf Village done something like that?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke in confusion.

In his impression, Konoha didn't seem to have persecuted any Kekkei Genkai clans, right?

"Did you forget? Our Uchiha clan was wiped out because of this," Sasuke said, his voice not lowered on purpose. As a result, the Third Hokage and others, who had been discussing how ridiculous the Mizukage's actions were, immediately fell silent.

"Sasuke, Konoha is not like the Mist Village," the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, responded.

"Oh? I'd like to hear what Lord Fifth Hokage has to say."

"It's not about having great insights, but I believe these two events are fundamentally different."

Jiraiya could tell that Sasuke was deeply dissatisfied with Konoha's higher-ups for destroying his clan. Yes, it was Uchiha Itachi who carried out the massacre, and perhaps Uchiha Obito was involved, but at its core, it was the higher-ups of Konoha who gave the orders.

It would be strange if Sasuke didn't harbor resentment towards Konoha. The reason he hadn't shown it until now was that he still had to live in Konoha, and he was hoping that Konoha would bring back his parents.

The third reason was for Naruto and the others; he didn't want to make things difficult for his friends. That's why he hadn't completely torn his relationship with Konoha.

But when he heard the Third Hokage and others criticizing the absurd actions of the Third Mizukage, Sasuke couldn't hold back and said what was on his mind.

Now that he had spoken his true feelings, he wouldn't hold back any longer. Sasuke Uchiha was making his stance clear.

He was deeply dissatisfied with Konoha.

"In the entire history of the Mist Village, except for the Kaguya clan, which had mental issues, no other Kekkei Genkai clan ever rebelled.

Let's use a not-so-accurate example, like the Hyuga clan or the Kurama clan, who also have Kekkei Genkais. They never had any intentions of rebelling. Do you see Konoha persecuting them? No, right?"

Sasuke didn't respond, only continuing to laugh coldly.

Fifth Hokage Jiraiya wasn't bothered and continued, "Now, let's talk about your Uchiha clan. Back then, the main ideology of the Uchiha family was led by the radical faction, headed by Uchiha Setsuna. They wanted to use force to seize the Konoha's Hokage position.

Facing a clan with such unstable emotions and a desire to rebel, if you were Hokage, what would you do? Don't blame the old man, he did the best he could. He made your brother, Itachi, seem like someone with Hokage-level thinking. This not only soothed the Uchiha clan but also bought enough time for himself. If it weren't for that scumbag Danzo stirring things up, the Uchiha clan might not have been wiped out."

"So, what you're saying is that all the evil was Danzo's fault?" Sasuke asked.

Jiraiya shook his head. "I'm not trying to shirk responsibility, but most of the blame should fall on Danzo. If it weren't for him coveting Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan and causing Shisui's suicide, things would never have escalated this far."

"Heh, well, Danzo's already dead. You can say whatever you want," Sasuke replied, closing his mouth and wearing an expression that said he didn't want to talk anymore.

Seeing Sasuke like this, Jiraiya secretly sighed in relief.

He knew that with Sasuke, the issue of the Uchiha clan's destruction was temporarily settled.

However, the more Jiraiya thought about it, the angrier he became.

The incident had happened under the rule of the Third Hokage, so why did it feel like he was the one explaining it to Sasuke?

The more he thought, the more confused Jiraiya became.

The Third Hokage had been his teacher, and Jiraiya was someone who respected his teachers. He wouldn't do something absurd like Orochimaru and betray his sensei.

But wait, wasn't there someone who could take the blame for this?

"Orochimaru, do you have Danzo's body tissue here?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing. I just simply want you to revive him. I will only kill him once to vent my anger."

"…What kind of devilish talk is that? You mean I worked hard to revive him, and you just want to kill him to vent your anger? Besides, if anyone should kill Danzo, it should be my disciple, Sasuke."

Hearing this, Sasuke looked at Orochimaru with a gaze full of approval.

"Then after I kill him, you can revive him again, right?"

"You… Jiraiya, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I really misjudged you."

"Orochimaru, you're becoming more and more like a woman. So fussy. Just give me a straight answer—can you revive Danzo or not?"

Orochimaru wasn't angry about being called like a woman.

He simply shrugged and replied, "Sorry, I don't have Danzo's body tissue here. If you really want to revive him, you can go to the Hidden Rain Village. Isn't the actual leader of the Hidden Rain your disciple? I'm sure he wouldn't do something like I did, right?"

"…"

Jiraiya fell silent.

As he thought about the figure that had flown into the sky to destroy Konoha during the Danzo incident, Jiraiya truly couldn't be sure whether Nagato would make a move against him.

"Forget it. Maybe we'll talk about it another time."
