Chapter 299：

The next Konoha, although it is not explicitly prohibited.

But the villagers no longer discussed the topic of the Fifth Hokage casually, at least not in public places.

Even if a very nervous person says this, his relatives and friends will cover his mouth.

Public opinion, rumors, and a series of other things.

​You need to have corresponding strength to speak.

When Danzo does anything, he can claim that it is for Konoha.

Because he is an elder, there are countless cold-blooded executioners at his disposal.

If you are a civilian and this kind of thing comes out of your mouth, you are not far from death.

Everyone knows that the Sarutobi clan is not a bloodline limited clan, and when the village was founded many years ago, there were actually not many people in it.

The first Hokage, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara joined forces to establish Konoha, and the Sarutobi clan only joined later.

It has only been more than sixty years now, and the number of members of the Sarutobi clan has increased more than ten times.

Although most of the 129 Jonin are parallel imports and earn their wages.

But Natsuki knew that the number of ninjas in the Sarutobi clan far exceeded everyone's expectations.

There are more than a thousand Chuunin alone. These members of the Sarutobi clan are distributed throughout the Land of Fire. They do tasks and never appear in groups.

The Sarutobi clan exposed in this election is just the tip of the iceberg.

Xia Mu checked the tickets in front of everyone on the stage, just to let everyone know that the third generation was cheating.

More things have not yet been dug out.

The third generation was originally the one who was about to step down. Exposing these things at this time would only put the third generation in danger.

others…

​You can't do much.

But this is Natsuki's purpose.

A highly respected third-generation Hokage who retired.

Retire with a person who has dark politics and is suspected of manipulating the Hokage's election.

The right to speak is different.

At least under the pressure of many elders, the Third Hokage must happily hand over his power.

Otherwise, the three generations will be attacked in groups.

The reason why Natsuki wants to crucify the third generation is very simple.

He wants to tear apart the hypocritical mask of the Third Hokage!

The Third Hokage is a truly sinister person.

Although Danzo has cooperated with the third generation in recent years, he has also secretly cheated the third generation. The two have always had political conflicts.

But Danzo is always doing something secretly, and he doesn't dare to let the third generation find out.

And the third generation has done bad things, and you still feel that it has nothing to do with him.

Danzo's only victory may be in framing the infant experimental subjects.

And concealing the matter of Tenzo, the successful experimental subject.

In the past few years, the third generation has been in charge of Hokage, and too much money has gone unaccounted for.

For example, where did the legacy of Kushina and the fourth generation go.

Is there nothing left of the Senju Clan’s huge industry?

How many years has the Sarutobi clan been doing this kind of freeloading?

Otherwise, you simply can’t explain how the Sarutobi clan developed so many people.

Konoha is one of the largest villages among the five major countries.

The life of civilians is still very stable, compared to some war-torn small countries, or barren places like Sandgakure.

The happiness index of Konoha villagers can be said to be very high.

From the time when the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took office until now.

As for ordinary people, the Third Hokage enjoys a high reputation.

After all, my own Konoha Village is happier than other villages.

As for the rope tree, Broken is dead, White Fang is dead, the Fourth Generation is dead, and Kushina is dead.

This kind of thing is too far away for them.

It doesn’t matter much.

At most, they felt a little sad when the fourth generation died.

But more people were drowned in the grief and resentment of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

The Third Hokage controls a huge number of ANBU.

Monitoring all the voices of ordinary people.

If there is any disharmony, it will be cut off as soon as possible.

Most of the villagers are ignorant and blind.

Under the control of public opinion, there is singing and dancing every day.

Not only was Danzo inferior to Hokage while alive, but he was still inferior to Hokage in death.

Very simple, because he looks like a bad guy at first glance.

As long as he shows up in Konoha a few more times.

If there is any bad thing, blame it on him, that's right.

The real bad guys are like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who are both treacherous and loyal.

He looks kind-hearted and always thinks of others in everything.

Everyone in Konoha trusts him very much.

But as long as you dig deeper, you will find that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as simple as he seems on the surface.

Let’s not talk about what happened in the past few decades.

Recently, if Natsuki was not here, Uchiha would have been exterminated.

Everyone knows that Genbe and Obito were involved in the genocide.

But that’s not the point.

But two years before the Uchiha clan was exterminated.

Danzo, who was afraid of Uchiha's power, attacked Shisui and took away his right eye.

Shisui, who was injured and escaped, found Itachi, and placed all the burden of preventing the genocide on the immature Itachi.

Then committed suicide.

Itachi was only 11 years old at the time, and during Naruto's time, he didn't even graduate from ninja school.

If Shisui committed suicide because he was trapped by the situation.

Then Itachi's destruction of the Uchiha clan was completely controlled by the third generation.

During the two years when Itachi was 11 to 13 years old.

Thoughts have undergone tremendous changes.

Although he himself had accomplished nothing, he began to hate his people.

Think that the family is useless and the people are stupid.

In the past two years, the relationship between Itachi and Fugaku has become increasingly tense. There is basically no communication, and they even talk about heart-to-heart talks.

The arrogant and conceited Itachi disdains communication with other tribesmen.

So why did Itachi become like this?

Because of the manipulation of Sarutobi Hiruzen and several other elders.

Regarding the conflict between the village and Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi has been delaying time, and what he said most is:

"I will come up with a perfect solution."

Then.

Then in this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen did nothing.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen does every day is to constantly brainwash Itachi.

The point of brainwashing is very clever.

What he kept instilling in Itachi was that thanks to you, the village and the Uchiha clan did not fight.

Thanks to the information you provided about Uchiha, many civilians were saved from the war.

Several other elders acted in black faces.

Continuously weakening the impression of the Uchiha clan in Itachi's heart.

It gave Itachi a sense of superiority and self-confidence, thinking that only he could save the Uchiha clan.

But in the end, Itachi found that he was unable to resolve the conflict between the village and his family.

He, who only communicated with Konoha's top brass, had no idea that his thoughts had been led into a dead end.

He was obviously a loser, but he refused to admit it no matter what. The endless sense of mission drove Itachi close to madness.

At this time, Shisui had been dead for two years, and the family coup was imminent.

At this time, Danzo appeared, and Danzo's "ingenious plan" opened up a new way of thinking for Itachi, who was about to collapse under the pressure of his sense of mission.

"Kill the Uchiha clan", this can permanently and completely resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and the village.

Use yourself to "carry sins" to comfort your failed and empty soul.

Quiet in the self-sacrifice and self-moved self-deception.

Chapter 345: Skinning

Let's imagine.

A madman, a madman who was oppressed to the point of collapse by the sense of mission he imposed on himself.

After finally finishing all this, this is how I comforted myself.

"I succeeded! I successfully prevented the civil war in the village, I prevented the war!"

"I have fulfilled my friend's instructions! I have shouldered this **** sin."

"I am the unknown hero! I am the real ninja!"

"Zhisui, I didn't let you down, right?"

"Sasuke, you will understand me, right?"

This is Itachi when he was 13 years old, a hysterical madman.

As for a few years after leaving Konoha, Itachi began to recognize himself again, and at the moment of his final death in battle, he finally recognized himself.

After being reincarnated as dirt again, he finally dared to face his incompetent and failed self bravely.

Only then did he finally understand the true meaning of Shisui entrusting everything to him.

Unfortunately, even if he repented, the Uchiha clan had already disappeared.

No matter how strong the remaining Sasuke is, he can't support Uchiha's glory.

This is why Itachi warned Sasuke like this in the end.

Itachi's mind also grows. There should be a difference between the Itachi when he was young and the Itachi who grows up.

After Itachi entered ANBU when he was young, what he faced the most every day was the teachings of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
