"If Sakumo were to defect, who would go after him? Me or Kushina?!"
"It's you again... Shimura Danzo!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious, because it all started when Danzo leaked that top-secret mission.
This kind of thing could have been handled quietly; let Sakumo Hatake make up for the losses he caused to the village later.
After this battle, Sakumo Hatake had no chance of winning the Hokage position.
According to Hiruzen Sarutobi, a true Hokage, when faced with a dilemma between a mission and his comrades, should sacrifice himself to ensure that the village's interests are not harmed.
Both the second generation and he were aware of this.
He does want his disciple to become Hokage, but he will not frame Sakumo Hatake for it.
He was angry at Shizun Danzo, and also at Hatake Sakumo.
It's just a few words from others, why does it have to escalate to such a serious matter as running away?
This is the village where you were born, and your son is still in the village!
Danzo Shimura was speechless for a moment.
They knew Konoha's White Fang's strength all too well. If there was a Kage-level standard above Jonin, then Hatake Sakumo would definitely be a strongman at that level.
Every Jonin is an elite of the village, but when faced with that White Fang Blade, they become ordinary units.
Before the Yellow Flash appeared, Konoha's White Fang was the record holder for Jonin kills in the ninja world.
Danzo Shimura didn't think he was weaker than Sakumo Hatake; if they had to compete, the odds would be 40/60.
I have a 60% chance of winning!
No need. I have more important things to do. The situation in the ninja world is constantly changing. If Hiruzen makes a mistake, I will have to step in to take charge.
After a moment's thought, realizing he couldn't back down, Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice:
"Then I will hand over the spy missions to the various villages. Who do you think would be the most suitable?"
"Once the handover is complete, I will personally hunt down and kill Hatake Sakumo!"
Now it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's turn to fall silent.
Danzo Shimura knew all too well what he had done, even if others didn't.
That was a top secret that even the other two advisors couldn't know!
Where can you find a black glove as hardworking and dedicated as Shimura Danzo...
He sighed helplessly.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Kakashi is still in the village, and Sakumo won't do anything to harm the village."
Anyway, it's not like there's no precedent. Jiraiya only stayed in the Land of Rain for a few years.
At this moment, Mitokado Yan spoke up.
"Jiraiya and Minato are back. Minato has learned the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique. They might be able to catch up with Sakumo Hatake."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave him a disgruntled look. "I've already defined the nature of this matter, and you're still playing the chase game with me?"
Do you have a problem with your reflex arc?
"They just encountered a tailed beast from Iwagakure. Let them rest for a while." Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Speaking of which... Uchiha Kagami and Kakashi could both be taught by Jiraiya and the others."
Speaking of the Uchiha clan, Danzo's crisis radar went off.
"Kakashi is one thing, but Uchiha Kagami is definitely not someone Jiraiya could teach!"
Seemingly thinking that it wasn't easy for Shimura Danzo to take the blame for him, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice softened slightly.
"Danzo... when you hear that name, do you only hear 'Uchiha'?"
“Mirror…that’s the name of our partner.”
Both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu showed a hint of dazed reminiscence, but Shimura Danzo remained unmoved.
“Kyo was influenced by the Second Hokage, and he is not a descendant of Kagami, but just an Uchiha with the same name.”
Look at his choice of words. Even with his classmates, Danzo Shimura was unwilling to use the word "teach" but rather "influence".
It's easy to imagine what a demonic image the Uchiha clan held in his mind.
“We should give it a try. What if he, like the mirror, integrates into the village?” Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.
"Alright, it's almost lunchtime. Your families have people preparing food, so I won't keep you any longer."
There were too many people here, so Shimura Danzo didn't perform his classic song. He glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen resentfully, then turned and left.
If I were the Hokage...
If I were chosen as Hokage, the Uchiha clan would definitely be tamed!
Second generation master...why didn't you choose me?!
Back then... I was just a tiny bit short!
Danzo was still agonizing over whether he had offered his sacrifice a step too late back then, but if he could turn back time, and spoke up to cover the retreat...
Perhaps the second generation will have a chance to survive.
Konoha Training Ground.
Looking at the dilapidated ground, Jiraiya slowly approached.
"Controlling such a rapidly spinning chakra mass must be too difficult."
Jiraiya approached Minato Namikaze, who was inside the pit.
"I've heard before that it's easier to extract chakra by following the direction of the hair whorl."
"If this technique..."
Minato Namikaze, panting, said with a wry smile, "That's just a rumor."
"Not necessarily. I refine chakra using a right-handed method... Let me see which way you're spinning..."
"Sigh...you have two spins, one to the left and one to the right..."
"Forget it, let's take a break!"
Jiraiya pulled a double popsicle out of his bag and broke it in two: "Which side do you choose?"
Either way is fine.
Suddenly, Minato Namikaze had a flash of inspiration and stopped his outstretched hand.
Either way is fine!
Forgetting about eating his popsicle, Minato Namikaze quickly got up and began refining his chakra once more.
If you refine it in the same way no matter which direction you take...
A faint blue glow shimmered in the room.
Jiraiya looked at the chakra mass that had stabilized in Minato's hands and couldn't help but sigh.
As expected... you are a true genius, Minato!
Minato Namikaze beamed with joy.
"It's taking shape, so I've named it..."
"The Hidden Light Popsicle Inspires Jiraiya's Twin Style Pill!"
Aside from naming talent.
Jiraiya shook his head and smiled, "Then you should rest for a bit. The Third Hokage wants to see me about something."
"They said I should bring along a brat from the Uchiha clan, and also Sakumo-nii's son. I'll bring him over for you to meet later."
“Uchiha…” Minato dispersed the chakra swarm and chuckled, “They’re a rather reserved clan. My previous Uchiha companions weren’t good at expressing their emotions.”
Chapter 14 Jiraiya
Kakashi and Kagami Uchiha were summoned to the Hokage's office ahead of schedule.
Not counting the few times during the start of the school year, this was the first time that Uchiha Kagami had come into close contact with the Third Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a notorious heavy smoker. Even with two children in front of him, he would still be smoking his pipe, exhaling wisps of purple smoke.
This increasingly hunched old man is hardly someone who can be equated with the highest authority in the Land of Fire.
Yes, it is the highest power.
Since the establishment of the ninja village system, the power to decide on war and truce has rested with the Kage of each village.
When the second Hokage went to Kumogakure to sign a peace treaty, did he need to be addressed by his daimyo?
Does the third generation need the daimyo's permission to transfer subordinates?
However, compared to hundreds of millions of ordinary people, hundreds of thousands of ninjas are still too few. A daimyo is needed to lead the ordinary people.
The position of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is nominal; in reality, the position of Hokage is chosen by Konoha itself.
Even the 5.5th Daimyo, Danzo, could intimidate a Daimyo with just a glance.
But what's the use of getting a verified name?
Danzo failed to pass the village's Jonin trust vote, and no one ever thought he had been Hokage until his death.
Only those engraved on the Hokage Rock are considered Hokage!
In the Third and Fourth Shinobi World Wars, the Kage of each village decided to start the war, and the Daimyo just had to keep them in check.
Even Sunagakure, which was most affected by the economic downturn, later joined forces with Orochimaru, intending to use the Konoha Crush plan to show the Daimyo of the Land of Wind his strength.
It's just that the ending was a bit clownish.
Coming to his senses, Uchiha Kagami nodded: "I've heard of Jiraiya-sama, the powerful ninja who is known as one of the Legendary Sannin."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled kindly, "Your strength is outstanding. I think you should graduate early and train under Jiraiya."
"If you perform well, you might become his disciples."
"The youngest Jonin right now, Minato Namikaze, is his student!"
Jiraiya... Minato Namikaze...
Uchiha Kagami's mind raced.
The Third Hokage handled the Uchiha clan massacre case with a cold shoulder; from his perspective, he was not a good person.
However, before the incident occurred, it was clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi still wanted to reconcile with the Uchiha clan.
The subsequent promotion of Minato, who was close to the Uchiha clan, may have been partly due to this consideration.
Who is Minato Namikaze?
A succubus from the ninja world, and also has blond hair.
The Uchiha clan's thousand-year-old tradition of not allowing the Sharingan to be leaked was abandoned just because of Minato's face.
He hadn't become Hokage yet!
Joining Jiraiya's faction was actually a signal released by the Third Hokage.
In each ninja village, the position of Kage is basically passed down from master to disciple or father to son.
The Third Hokage wanted to tell the Uchiha that they had a chance, and that they were also members of the village.
He originally preferred the Uchiha boy named Obito; that kid was unusually friendly for an Uchiha.
However, Uchiha Kagami and Kakashi now have serious psychological problems. One is withdrawn and the other is very lost because his father left. They both need to be comforted by the Little Sun.
The previous Uchiha clan members all became more cheerful after interacting with Minato Namikaze.
Hiruzen Sarutobi played a special attack card against dark characters - Minato Namikaze!
Kakashi was still reeling from the immense loss of his father's departure, and nodded indifferently as he listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.
If it weren't for Uchiha Kagami lingering at the Ninja Academy, he would have graduated long ago.
Uchiha Kagami had no reason to refuse.
