The Senju clan is gone, but isn't there still the Uchiha clan?
As long as they can practice the will of fire, this battle is not hopeless.
With Uchiha Kagami's persuasion, his plan has a great chance of success.
Some shrewd clan leaders noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze and felt extremely complicated.
Is this to allow the Uchiha clan to replace the Senju clan and become the main force in this war?
on the one hand.
They don't want to care too much about the life and death of the Uchiha clan, and they have never truly accepted the Uchiha clan.
I have to admire Tobirama Senju's plan. Not only can he trick his grandson, but most importantly, he can trick the Uchiha clan.
The establishment of the Konoha Security Bureau, given the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, will inevitably offend those who do not abide by the order in Konohagakure, and will always put them in opposition to the Konohagakure ninja clan.
The ninja family itself represents privilege.
on the other hand.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's behavior made them feel chilled.
The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were the most important founders of Konohagakure, but they were treated in this way.
Will they use such insidious means to deal with their family in the future?
"Danzō Shimura, what do you think about sending the Uchiha Itachi to the battlefield in the Land of Rain?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice softened as he asked for Danzō Shimura's opinion, while also showing weakness in an effort to mend their relationship.
Every time before, Danzō Shimura disagreed with him, he only needed to express his dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan, and Danzō Shimura would stand on the same front with him.
This is because when the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was selecting his disciples, Danzō Shimura was not chosen, and the person who replaced him was Kagami Uchiha.
Later, after the efforts of the Shimura family and the persuasion of Hashirama Senju, he accepted Danzō Shimura as his disciple.
Therefore, Tobirama Senju had a slight prejudice against Danzō Shimura.
"You are the Hokage, I listen to you."
Danzō Shimura closed his eyes and responded mechanically, without the same hostility as before.
If it were before, he would have forgiven Hiruzen Sarutobi long ago.
Now, Danzō Shimura felt cold all over, as if he was drowning in the sea.
He had never really understood Hiruzen Sarutobi, and after being reminded by Nawaki Senju, he became wary of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
When I think back to my time with Hiruzen Sarutobi, I always feel a sense of hypocrisy.
Could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi even deceived his teacher?
An idea came to his mind, but he didn't express it, and continued to maintain the same way of getting along.
Everything depends on what Hiruzen Sarutobi will do in the future?
"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan's ninjas are good at Fire Release techniques, and they may be weakened in the battlefield of the Rain Country.
It would be better to go to the Rice Country and fight against the ninjas from the Sunagakure, where you will have a certain advantage."
Uchiha Kagami pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time before expressing his opinion.
"The Rain Country is the most important war. The Uchiha clan should not be afraid of difficulties.
I will dispatch some of Konohagakure's active ninjas to support the Uchiha clan.
As for Earth Country, the scale of the battle is not large at the moment, so we just need to be vigilant."
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, feeling a little dissatisfied with Kagami Uchiha.
I originally thought that the biggest obstacle would be the young boy Uchiha Fugaku, but I didn't expect that the first person to oppose him would be Kagami Uchiha.
The war in the Rice Country is closer to the Land of Fire and is less dangerous, so it should of course be left to the Hiruzen Sarutobi clan and his own trusted families, as they also have many industries there.
That is the key for him to control and suppress the Senju clan.
The food from the Rice Country and the medicinal herbs from the Nara clan will definitely be able to replace the Senju clan.
Let the Senju clan realize their own stupidity. Without the protection of Konohagakure, they are nothing and can do nothing.
The Land of Rain will be the meat grinder of the future. It must have a strong shield and stand there, becoming the target of attack by several major ninja countries and consuming their manpower.
Uchiha Kagami sensed Hiruzen Sarutobi's dissatisfaction and shook his head helplessly.
Deep down, he didn't want to preserve the power of the Uchiha clan, but wanted to preserve the power of the entire Konohagakure.
He wanted to continue persuading, but was interrupted by Uchiha Fugaku.
"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan accepts the arrangement and is willing to contribute its own strength to the peace of Konohagakure."
Uchiha Fugaku raised his head and looked directly at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a firm gaze.
At this time, the Senju clan betrayed Konohagakure. As long as the Uchiha clan showed enough affinity and made contributions to Konohagakure, they would be able to truly integrate into Konohagakure.
He will fulfill the Uchiha clan's decades-long unfulfilled wish and give the Uchiha clan the opportunity to ascend to the position of Hokage. All this is based on his good relationship with the Third Hokage.
Originally he wanted to become a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi and become the Hokage's apprentice, but unfortunately his age was not right. At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had just accepted the Three Legendary Sannin and had no interest in him.
He believed that this was his opportunity and also the opportunity for the Uchiha clan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened, and he was surprised and happy.
"Is this generation's Uchiha clan leader so naive? It seems that my education on the Will of Fire was not in vain."
Uchiha Fugaku is the new head of the Uchiha clan. He is only 5 years older than Nawaki Senju and 5 years younger than the Three Legendary Sannin.
In the conference room, the other Jōnin all had strange looks on their faces.
A Nawaki Senju left and an Uchiha Fugaku came.
They were happy to see Hiruzen Sarutobi fooling one silly boy after another.
Uchiha Kagami's eyes flickered and he stopped persuading him.
The Konohagakure ANBU then discovered that the food of the Senju clan, which they thought controlled the lifeblood of the Senju clan, became the first sword to stab them.
