Chapter 62: The Observer's Perspective

There is no absolute right or wrong in the world, there are only different standpoints.

Under the light, Ryosuke sat at the table where his father usually worked, his fingers pressed on the scroll, and slid down as he read.

I don't know when he started to look at things from the perspective of a bystander, so that he can understand the essence of things more clearly and make corresponding correct judgments based on his own situation.

As the Hokage of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen made many decisions, some good and some bad.

He made the decision to sacrifice the lives of a few people in exchange for victory in the war.

There were also cases where he led the village to fight a desperate battle, and even left a suicide note in advance, ready to sacrifice himself.

But if you look at his decisions from the perspective of a bystander, from a perspective where you don't know the results, in fact, most of the time they are for the benefit of the village.

Although these decisions may not be good for Hyuga.

But...

These records are not complete. The victory or defeat of many battlefields always lacks an important part at a critical moment, lacking a little bit of chips that can determine the situation.

"A wonderful life."

Ryosuke read very quickly, and after reading word by word, less than half an hour had passed.

The amount of information was very rich, but he had memorized it completely.

Then what happened next...

He set his eyes on the black scroll. In fact, he didn't need to open it, he already knew who the person on this scroll was.

After opening it, there was almost no surprise that the name on this scroll was Danzo Shimura.

This is a name that only a few people in the village remember.

When most people mention this name, their first reaction is that they don't know him.

But if you talk about the history of Konoha Village in detail and talk about the strong men who galloped on the battlefield in the past, probably someone will remember his name and what he did.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen is a conservative person who considers problems from the perspective of the village.

Then Danzo Shimura is definitely a radical person who is willing to put the village in an extremely dangerous environment in exchange for greater benefits for the village.

He is a very capable person, but also an extremely dangerous person.

On the other side of the desk, there is the recent extermination of the Uchiha clan.

As someone who knows the future, Ryosuke knows very well that Shimura Danzo is behind this matter.

As a major force in the village, the Uchiha clan lacks the main force within Konoha. Even if they are unstable, Sarutobi Hiruzen will still try to consider the best of both worlds.

But Shimura Danzo will not, he will not tolerate anything that is not good for the village.

Since this force is unstable, it is very likely that Konoha will turn the tables when Konoha is in danger, so just take advantage of the fact that Konoha still has the strength to clean it up.

This Shimura Danzo does not seem to care about the impact on Konoha after losing this power.

From his past performance and what he may do in the future, Ryosuke thinks that he may have a mentality.

That is, as long as he is there, Konoha will not be in trouble.

But he does have the capital to be arrogant.

Reading through Shimura Danzo's past carefully, Ryosuke can compare many missing parts of Sarutobi Hiruzen's information from his intelligence information.

Since the late period of the First Ninja World War, when Sarutobi Hiruzen took office as the third generation Hokage, there have been hundreds of battles of all sizes in the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War, which affected the entire Ninja World.

Among them, there are many battles that Konoha should have lost, but they won inexplicably.

These processes determine the battle situation as an important bargaining chip, which Ryosuke did not see in Sarutobi Hiruzen's record scroll.

But he learned a lot in Shimura Danzo's record scroll, but many of them are shameful.

In the late period of the First Ninja World War, after the sacrifice of the second generation Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen took up the banner and joined his contemporary partners Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, Utatane Koharu, Akimichi Tofu, and Uchiha Kagami to counterattack the Hidden Cloud Village.

In the end, he won the battle and established his position and the short-term stability of Konoha Village.

During this war, Shimura Danzo used the lives and supplies of some Konoha ninjas to alienate the Kirigakure and Iwagakure, leaving them to fight each other, leaving them no time to attack Konoha while they were at war with Kumogakure.

This was a strategy, but it was an ignominious one, so he did not receive any awards or merits.

The victory and end of the Second Shinobi World War and the Third Shinobi World War all had his shadow behind them.

He was like the dark side of Sarutobi Hiruzen, shouldering all the negatives.

So... he was indeed capable of being arrogant.

However, compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who lived in the sun, there was very little information about Shimura Danzo.

Even the intelligence chain of two generations of the Hyuga clan has only been collected a little bit, so Ryosuke actually doesn't know much, and he can't be sure that his guess is right.

"This is the real ninja world..."

Compared to the memory, looking at the world from the perspective of the cheerful Naruto, Ryosuke now sees it more comprehensively and more realistically.

The saying that those who play politics are dirty is not just a casual remark.

Perhaps from the perspective of the civilians of Konoha Village, or those who are on the same path as Sarutobi Hiruzen and are willing to sacrifice everything for the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a good leader.

His existence protects the interests of the majority of people and allows the majority of people to live in a relatively stable environment.

But for those people and families whose interests have been violated or even endangered, he is a complete hypocrite.

He is a person who only raises a sunny smile in front of the majority.

However, Ryosuke can understand this point. After all, many things cannot be completed to take into account everyone. As a leader, he can only choose the majority.

"It's much more complicated than I thought. Fortunately, I didn't get involved in this matter."

After learning about these things, Ryosuke became more and more certain of his decision.

Anyway, he was not familiar with Uchiha. Uchiha Itachi had only met him a few times, and Uchiha Sasuke always gave him a bad face.

Even if Uchiha no longer posed a threat to the village, he did not plan to contact Uchiha Sasuke, the orphan.

As for... originally he and Hyuga Hiashi had been worried about whether the Hyuga family would be suspected of being the only one without the Uchiha as a check and balance, Ryosuke was not worried at all now.

I don't know if it's because he has been considering more and more things recently, Ryosuke has become more and more familiar with things and looks at things from the perspective of an observer.

When he looked at those things that he had worried about before, he suddenly felt that they were not so complicated.

For example, the current status of their Hyuga clan in the village.
