Chapter 138 Uchiha Itachi
"Half and half."
After taking a puff of cigarette, the Third Hokage calmly continued: "At that time, the Uchiha clan was actually very restless. There was Uchiha Shisui in front and Uchiha Itachi in the back. The emergence of these two geniuses further fueled the arrogance of the radicals. At the same time, I really admired Itachi. In order to appease and suppress the Uchiha clan, I could only do this."
Put yourself in their shoes.
The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya felt that if he were in the Third Hokage's situation, he would do the same.
There are two benefits to doing this.
The first benefit is that it appeased the Uchiha clan.
The Third Hokage commented that Itachi had the thinking of a Hokage. Does it mean that Itachi has a chance to become a Hokage?
No matter what others think, there must be such an idea within the Uchiha clan.
Since Itachi has the qualifications to be a Hokage, why would they rebel?
Rebelling against himself?
This is not a problem.
It can be said that once the next Hokage is not determined, the Uchiha clan will most likely not rebel in order to make Itachi the Hokage.
In this way, the Third Hokage bought a lot of time to regulate the Uchiha clan.
The second benefit is that it further put the Uchiha clan in opposition to other clans.
The Uchiha clan didn't have a good relationship with the other clans in Konoha. Now that they know that the Uchiha clan may produce a Hokage, won't the other clans explode?
For the benefit of the clan, these people will definitely try every means to prevent Uchiha Itachi from becoming Hokage, so as to prevent him from settling accounts with these clans after he takes office.
This move of changing flowers and jades transformed the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan into the conflict between the Uchiha clan and other clans.
The Third Hokage really played this move very well.
It's a pity that this operation was ruined by the idiot Danzo.
Otherwise, perhaps the Uchiha clan would not be exterminated.
Just like the mirror of time and space in Tobirama, after cleaning up the radicals, the remaining Uchiha clans are not to be feared.
After all, most of the Uchiha clans are still very satisfied with their lives in Konoha.
"Danzo is such an idiot. I don't know why you, old man, have tolerated him for so many years."
The Third Hokage rolled his eyes at the Fifth Jiraiya and said nothing.
The Fifth Jiraiya snorted and did not continue to ask.
【At the age of eight, Itachi witnessed the death of his teammates and successfully opened the Sharingan. 】
【At the age of ten, he passed the Chunin Exam alone. 】
【At the age of eleven, he joined the Anbu. 】
【Itachi was influenced by Shisui. As a ninja, he has been doing his best for the village since he was a child. 】
【After joining the Anbu, his talent was recognized by the captain, Kakashi Hatake, and he was also influenced by some positive ideas of Kakashi. 】
【Because the promotion routes and systems of the Anbu and normal ninjas are different, in the work "Naruto", the youngest Jonin is still our chakra measurement unit: Kakashi Hatake. 】
"What do you mean, when did I become a chakra measurement unit?"
Under the light curtain, Kakashi listened to what A Tian said and felt very puzzled.
"Haha, most likely you, Kakashi, are too weak, resulting in insufficient chakra, so I use you as the unit of chakra measurement."
Kakashi looked at Asuma with a little resentment, "It's as if you have a lot more chakra than me."
"Hehe, even if it's a little more, it's still a lot."
Asuma was very happy.
He found that he was finally better than Kakashi in one aspect.
That is, his chakra is definitely more than Kakashi's.
This is really not easy.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always lived in the shadow of Kakashi.
In a fight, he can't beat him.
In an exam, he can't pass it.
Even his appearance is not as good as Kakashi's.
This is indeed too cruel for the second son of the patriarch of the Sarutobi family.
Now, he also has one thing that Kakashi can't compare with.
No, it should be two.
Thinking of this, Asuma put his arm around Yuhi Kurenai's shoulders and raised his head to Kakashi.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Asuma: I have a girlfriend, do you?
Kakashi looked at Lin subconsciously.
Lin: "Kakashi, what's wrong with you?"
Kakashi: "Nothing. Keep looking at the light screen."
"Oh."
Kakashi found it a little funny.
When did he become so childish that he even had to compete with Asuma in this?
But if Asuma doesn't make him feel comfortable, then he won't feel comfortable either.
"It's not easy for you either."
Kakashi stared at Asuma for two seconds, then sighed and patted his shoulder.
This gesture immediately made Asuma dumbfounded.
"What are you talking about? What's not easy for me? Hey, don't turn your head away. What do you mean? Tell me clearly."
The more anxious Asuma was, the less Kakashi said.
He even left Asuma's side and walked between Sasuke and Naruto.
"Damn, Kakashi definitely did this on purpose."
"Okay, stop being a little sulky and look at the screen."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
"Don't talk nonsense about who your wife is."
"Hey, whoever is next to me is my wife."
"Hate it."
Nohara Lin was completely numb.
She was originally standing next to Kakashi.
As a result, Kakashi went to Sasuke and Naruto, leaving her alone to eat a mouthful of dog food.
Without making a sound, Nohara Rin also slipped away and stood by Kakashi again.
[After Itachi joined the Anbu, due to his outstanding talents, he was "seconded" to the Anbu where Shimura Danzo was, that is, the Root. ]
[At this time, he served as a bridge for the Uchiha clan to communicate with the village, and played a double agent for Konoha and Uchiha. ]
[Konoha has long isolated the Uchiha clan on the grounds of establishing a police force. ]
[The Uchiha clan members who were dissatisfied with this policy decided to launch a coup, attempting to coerce Uchiha Itachi's father, Uchiha Fugaku, and wanted to compete for the family's position in the village under his leadership. ]
[After the Nine-Tails Rebellion in the village, the Konoha high-level officials, especially Danzo, suspected that the rebellion was done by the family with beautiful contact lenses. ]
[So, under the strong suggestion of Danzo, who loves beautiful contact lenses, the areas where the Uchiha clan members are located are monitored in shifts for 24 hours. ]
[Off topic, the staff who are monitoring in shifts are probably cursing Danzo in their hearts. After all, this job is not easy to do, and it is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die. ]
[Back to the point, before the coup broke out, Uchiha Shisui went to see the Third Hokage and planned to observe Uchiha Fugaku's attitude at the Uchiha clan meeting. ]
[If the coup cannot be stopped, use the strongest illusion Kotoamatsukami to control him and stop the rebellion. ]
"It feels that Shisui's method is still feasible."
"Indeed, controlling the clan leader, using the clan leader's status and position, plus Shisui's own Mangekyō Sharingan's deterrence, it is really possible to eliminate this coup."
"But why did the Uchiha clan still get exterminated in the end?"
In the Tobirama office, everyone was discussing the feasibility of Shisui's method fiercely.
As they talked, everyone fell silent, and then looked at Shimura Danzo in unison.
Danzo: ???
