Natsuki cleared his throat: "In the early days of Sandai's rule, Danzo and I suppressed the major families and suppressed the powerful families one by one, which greatly enhanced the centralization of power of the Hokage family."
Fugaku nodded. Indeed, when the third generation first took office, there were many powerful families in Ninja Village, especially the Senju clan. The first and second generations were both members of the Senju clan.
He left behind a huge amount of property and political assets. If Tobirama hadn't died unexpectedly and the heir to the Senju clan was young, the position of the Third Hokage would never have fallen to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Natsuki continued: "Although the Third Generation has many things that are inconvenient for him to do and can be left to Danzo to handle, this also indulges Danzo's power."
"Of course, the third generation also has selfish motives. While suppressing other families, it also diverts some resources to its own family.
"Danzo's approach is different from that of the Third Generation. On the one hand, he writes some blank checks to the Shimura family. While sucking the blood of the Shimura family, he allocates resources to his own organization."
"The result of this is that all members of Danzo's forces are die-hards, and their loyalty to Danzo far exceeds their loyalty to the village."
"As Danzo's power grew, he became more unscrupulous in doing things. During the period of suppressing the family, some accidents occurred."
"For example, Hatake Sakumo's suicide."
Fugaku was surprised: "Hatake Sakumo was Danzo's mastermind? Didn't he commit suicide?"
Natsuki waved his hand: "The Hatake family evolved from a samurai family. The family values honor. Is it possible that the third generation does not know the harm caused by public opinion to the Hatake family?"
"How did the rumors spread outside? It's not Danzo's root."
"With such a big rumor spreading in the village, would the Third Generation not know anything about it? It's obvious that Danzo's behavior was tacitly approved by the Third Generation."
Fugaku frowned: "Didn't Hatake Sakumo's death weaken Konoha's strength?"
What Fugaku said is not unreasonable. You must know that during the Second Ninja War, Sunagakure, who was killed with a short sword, was frightened by the news and killed Xia's parents directly. It laid the foundation for the Third Ninja War.
Natsuki chuckled: "No one is perfect. How could the Third Hokage have expected everything? He just wanted to suppress Hatake Sakumo, and he never thought that Hatake Sakumo would commit suicide directly."
…
Chapter 137: Three generations of night talk
"The Third Hokage began preparing for his successor from a very early stage, and he left the task of suppressing the family to Danzo."
"And he mainly supports the development of ninjas without family background. This is the case for Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and later Minato."
Fugaku couldn't help but ask: "What about Tsunade?"
Natsuki said: "It is a helpless move to accept Tsunade as a disciple. After all, you, the Third Hokage, are going to accept a disciple. Tsunade is the granddaughter of her own teacher, so it is impossible not to accept her."
Fugaku nodded in agreement.
"In the middle of the three-generation rule, all three generations' goals were achieved."
"Although neither Orochimaru nor Jiraiya is suitable to be Hokage, under the transmission of his will of fire, Jiraiya's apprentice Namikaze Minato became the successor of the will of fire."
"When Minato came to power, everything was still under the control of the third generation. After all, Minato had no family background, and he also had a Jinchūriki wife."
"When neither Orochimaru nor Jiraiya is suitable to be Hokage, Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly the best candidate."
"When Minato first came to power, the third generation allowed Minato to establish an ANBU affiliated with the Fourth Hokage. At the same time, he did not disband his own ANBU, but held it firmly in his own hands. This means that he did not completely delegate power."
"But Obito launched the Nine-Tails Rebellion, which directly disrupted the Sandaime Hokage's plans."
"This is also a key point in Konoha's transition from prosperity to decline, and it is also a key point in our Uchiha's increasingly difficult times."
"Um."
Fugaku groaned. The Nine-Tails Rebellion was undoubtedly the most important event that pushed the Uchiha clan into the abyss.
"The political skills used by the second generation Tobirama back then were quite clever. He established the police department and gave it full power to our clan."
"This is the unique and highest honor for all families, but its real purpose is to permanently exclude our Uchiha clan from the top management of Konoha and marginalize it."
Fugaku sighed: "It's true. When the second generation ordered the formation of the guard force, our whole family was proud of it. But we didn't expect it to be a ruse."
Natsuki smiled: "This approach completely balances Uchiha's vanity and Konoha's overall interests."
"Tobirama's purpose is to make us Uchiha intoxicated with honor and slowly disintegrate our Uchiha's power."
"If Tobirama hadn't died suddenly, our Uchiha clan would have perished long ago."
"The Third Generation and Danzo didn't have Tobirama's pattern to begin with. Later, the Nine-Tails Rebellion happened, and the suppression of us Uchiha became even more blatant."
In order to avoid suspicion, Fugaku obediently obeyed Danzo's orders during the Nine-Tails Rebellion and covered the retreat of non-combatants.
But from many villagers, it became clear that the Uchiha clan did not participate in the battle.
Danzo even moved the Uchiha clan to the outside of the village, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent rebellion.
Natsuki smacked her lips, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and brought the topic back to the third generation.
"Although the de-"familyization" of the third generation has been successful, the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the death of a large number of elites, the death of his biggest supporter Minato, and the death of the adult Chuuriki Kushina, made everything separate from the third generation. expectations."
"The Third Hokage is facing internal and external difficulties. At this time, Danzo once again proposed that Orochimaru should take over as the Fifth Hokage."
"Duanzo already cooperated with Orochimaru when he chose the fourth generation Hokage, so the third generation directly rejected it."
"The reason why it was rejected by the Sandaime Hokage is because Orochimaru will not be controlled by him at all, and will even fall to Danzo's side."
"At this time, Danzo is no longer the third generation Hokage's help, but has become the third generation's political enemy."
"That's why the third Hokage came out again, took over the ANBU established by the fourth generation, and added his own ANBU to suppress everything."
Fugaku frowned and thought: "What about Orochimaru's defection?"
Natsuki chuckled: "At that time, maybe the third generation didn't know about Orochimaru's various taboo experiments? The third generation all knew about it."
"It's just that the third generation needs Orochimaru's power, just like Iwagakure's small-scale test after the fourth generation died, Orochimaru also contributed a lot."
"But the Third Generation didn't expect that Danzo would still refuse to hand over his power after the Fourth Generation died, so he started poaching him."
"In terms of taboo experiments on the human body, he continued to add bricks and tiles to it. While coveting the power of Mudun, he also completely tied Orochimaru to his own chariot."
"When the Third Generation found out, Orochimaru immediately defected."
"Due to personality issues, Orochimaru did not explain, and Danzo deliberately framed him, so the third generation was ready to give up on Orochimaru."
"The third generation does not know to what extent the cooperation between Danzo and Orochimaru has reached, but Danzo has already taken the position of assisting the Hokage at this time, and holds an unknown number of roots."
"In order to maintain the stability of Konoha Village, the third generation began to tolerate Danzo."
"At this time, the third war is over. We Uchiha have been targeted many times. The clan is dissatisfied. The intention of a coup is almost obvious. The rebel Shisui still believed in the village before."
"If Danzo hadn't gone his own way and dug out Shisui's eyes first, our Uchiha clan would have perished."
Fugaku still knows Shisui's character very well. Shisui used to be a pacifist.
When the doves and hawks in the clan are competing against each other, Shisui is the dove's most powerful supporter.
At that time, Fugaku didn't know which of his tendons was wrong, so he wanted to try Natsuki's method. The result was surprising.
Natsuki perfectly defuses Danzo's targeting of Uchiha, counterattacks the entire army, and even brings back Itachi who has already turned against him.
Several subsequent confrontations between Natsuki and Danzo ended with Danzo being defeated and defeated.
"So, did we Uchiha hand over power before for the sake of balance?" Fugaku asked.
Seeing Fugaku starting to think, Natsuki was also very pleased. You must know that he only knew the twists and turns in this by virtue of his prophetic advantage.
In the future development of the ethnic group, we cannot only have one brain, and one person can calculate shortcomings and two people can calculate strengths.
"Eliminate the threat of Uchiha, give up Uchiha's power, get out of the trap set by the second generation Tobirama, and save the family in a curve." Natsuki added.
After all, I, Uchiha, no longer work in the security force, so you can't say that the security force has any problems anymore.
"So before, because we handed over our rights in exchange for suppressing Danzo, the Third Generation was very happy."
"Because for the third generation, Danzo himself was already out of control, so he helped us impose sanctions on Danzo."
"As for the development speed of our Uchiha clan after the disbandment of Danzo Roots, it should exceed the expectations of the third generation."
Fugaku nodded, no, Natsuki's layout in Tian Country made the entire Uchiha like a wild horse, unstoppable.
…
Chapter 138 Fugaku’s Growth
Fugaku thought for a moment and then asked: "So the team brought out by Shisui and Itachi can support Uchiha at any time outside the village, so that the third generation will not dare to do anything against Uchiha?"
Xia Mu clapped his hands: "Hey, that's right."
Natsuki asked Shisui and Itachi to take people out. First, the change was too sudden because other gods controlled so many people. Second, they imitated Uchiha Itachi of the original world.
In the original world, regardless of Itachi's murder of his own clan, after he defected, he made a silent threat to the village, which made the people of Konoha afraid to attack Sasuke.
But there was only Itachi alone, and Itachi was terminally ill. In the end, he could only plan everything and die in Sasuke's hands.
The situation here is different. Uchiha still has an entire tribe living in Konoha. For the safety of the tribe, the team brought out by Shisui and Itachi is like the Sword of Damocles hanging above Konoha's head.
If something happens to the clan, more than a hundred Uchiha elites and two Mangekyō Sharingan can fight back at any time, or surrender directly to the enemy.
Fortunately, the third generation is getting older now, and he did not expect Uchiha to develop at such a speed, so he has no chance or time to play dirty tricks.
A few years have allowed the Uchiha clan to gain a firm foothold.
Natsuki then said to Fugaku: "The Third Hokage has no way to curb the growing strength of our Uchiha, because our Uchiha clan has given up power and has not even done many tasks. The demand for Konoha Village has decreased."
"The third generation had no choice but to bring Danzo back up again and let him return to his old business and do underworld work to target us."
Fugaku said: "Fortunately, thanks to your Natsuki plan, Danzo didn't succeed."
Uchiha, who had been strictly guarded before, even took the opportunity to completely break away from Konoha's control and complete his escape plan, which even the Third Hokage did not expect.
Natsuki didn't feel proud, after all, he knew what Danzo was like.
"Now that we Uchiha have become powerful, Danzo is no longer of use to the Third Generation."
"But if we Uchiha want to return to Konoha and gain rights, Danzo is an unavoidable obstacle."
"Although the third generation fully adhered to the policy of the second generation Tobirama towards Uchiha, he worked hard to suppress Uchiha."
"But now if Uchiha wants to fight back, Konoha will be in danger. So Konoha no longer dares to take action."
"I had the idea of asking Tsunade to come to the clan to be a medical consultant a long time ago, but at that time it was to balance the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha Village."
"What now?" Fugaku asked.
"I met Orochimaru in Otogakure Village, and I learned that the Third Generation had sent Jiraiya to contact Orochimaru, and even intended to lure Orochimaru back to the village."
"People like Sandai naturally don't go to Orochimaru because they miss the friendship of the past, but to increase their capital against Uchiha."
"Then we should lure Tsunade back?" Fugaku asked puzzledly after thinking about it.
Natsume said calmly: "For the third generation, anyone can be Hokage, but Uchiha cannot."
"The current Uchiha can't move, so he can only increase his physical strength."
"Apart from Jiraiya who is traveling abroad, only Orochimaru and Tsunade are the most suitable targets."
"Even the third generation has always thought that my goal is to increase Uchiha's voice in the village through curves to save the country after Uchiha's economy grows."
"This will finally lead to the qualification of the Fifth Hokage."
Fugaku laughed. After all, after all these years, his vision is no longer limited to the position of Hokage.
For Natsuki, if Uchiha and Konohagakure merge, it will undoubtedly consume his own strength. After all, there will be a great war in the ninja world in a few years.
Natsuki was the one who unknowingly took the blame for Danzo. The Third Generation knew that Danzo was the mastermind and Orochimaru was the executor.
This gave the third generation the idea of recalling Orochimaru.
Even if Orochimaru is the mastermind, the Third Generation still has to recall Orochimaru at this time.
For the third generation, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, anyone can be Hokage, but Uchiha cannot.
Therefore, the three generations will unite all living forces.
"The deaths of Nasuki and Kato Danzhu back then were caused by the cooperation of the Third Generation and Danzo. Even if the Third Generation was not the mastermind, it was Danzo's behavior with the Third Generation's tacit approval."
"Because the largest family power in Konoha Village is the Senju clan."
"As long as the Senju clan exists, the de-familialization of the Third Hokage will never be successful. Even if he can be the Hokage for decades, in the end the largest force in Konoha will still be the Senju clan."
"Where is the Senju clan now?" Natsuki asked Fugaku.
Fugaku responded with silence. When Hashirama Tobirama was in power, the Senju clan was the most powerful clan in Konoha.
The successors also include Tsunade and Naoki, both of whom are good seedlings of the Senju clan. Even Tsunade's lover, Kato Dan, is also excellent.
But after the accidental death of the second generation Tobirama, Nasaki and Kato Dan died immediately, and Tsunade was immediately crippled.
Tsunade's departure was, on the one hand, the shock of the death of a relative, and on the other hand, she sensed a clue.
"Now I bring Tsunade back to the Uchiha clan to increase the power of Uchiha and deal with Danzo."
