Chapter 211 Unbelievable, Three Pieces of News (1/2)
At the high-level meeting, the most important part was discussed in only half an hour, but it took nearly two hours to discuss some minor issues, and the whole morning passed quickly.
In addition, something unexpected happened at the meeting.
The ANBU Minister resigned, and Kawashima Kaede was elected as the new ANBU Minister.
You must know that although the ANBU minister is a subordinate of the third generation, he has a close relationship with Danzo. This is also a well-known thing.
Kawashima Kaede had previously quit the ANBU because of conflicts with Danzo. Now the ANBU chief recommended Kawashima Kaede, which was really unreasonable.
However, there were many unreasonable things in today's meeting, and everyone was not surprised.
In the end, Kawashima Kaede won without doing anything. He was directly approved at the meeting and became the new ANBU minister.
Finally, a consensus was reached on the Uchiha issue at this meeting, and the preliminary plan was finalized.
For the specific implementation, many negotiations will need to be carried out, but next time there will be no need to summon so many high-level officials, only Uchiha Fugaku and the Third Generation will be needed.
After all, in this meeting, Sandai showed a rare toughness.
After the meeting, the Sandaime was left with two advisors and Danzo, while everyone else left.
After everyone left, Xiaochun who went to bed was the first to lose his temper and asked:
"Hiruzhan, even if you promised the Uchiha clan to move back to their original address, why did you allow them to participate in the village's secret mission? This is actually giving the Uchiha clan new powers.
You must know that they intend to start a revolution in Konoha. You are indulging Uchiha in this way, which will lead to greater disaster sooner or later. "
Although Mito Kadoyan didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the third generation. Obviously, like Koharu who had gone to bed, he hoped that the third generation would give him an explanation.
It was clear that the top management was advancing and retreating together, but the third generation suddenly changed its position.
"Koharu, Men Yan, please listen to my explanation. I am actually forced to do this. Only by meeting the conditions of the Uchiha clan can they regain a sense of belonging to Konoha. Only in this way can the coup be prevented. Last night... ..”
Facing the doubts of the two consultants, Sandai looked helpless and explained the details of last night.
"The mastermind behind the Nine-Tails incident? Joined forces with Itachi Uchiha? And Chiho Kitahara also got involved?" After hearing the third generation's explanation, Koharu went to bed with a look of shock on his face.
In fact, the higher-ups have always suspected that the Uchiha clan was responsible for the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Now it seems that it is indeed true, but the person who did it is an Uchiha traitor with the Sharingan.
But yesterday, Itachi pretended to "collude" with outsiders for the sake of the village. This move killed two birds with one stone.
First, he helped the village resolve the crisis of the Uchiha coup. Later, he was able to "defect", leave the village, and join the organization behind the scenes. While monitoring them, he could also pass on information to the village. It was a well-intentioned move.
"However, even if Uchiha suffers heavy losses due to Itachi and is temporarily unable to make a coup, the Uchiha clan will not settle down so easily. When they regain their strength, sooner or later they will have to think about other things.
This is the best time to deal with Uchiha. But since Hiruzen you agreed to Uchiha's conditions, if something happens to them at this time, it will inevitably make other families suspicious. This is also a problem, but it is not impossible to solve it and needs to be carefully considered. "
Mito Monoyan analyzed in a deep voice.
"So I say, we shouldn't agree to Uchiha's conditions so easily." Koharu said after sleeping.
Sandai smiled bitterly: "I said, I have no choice.
Although the Uchiha clan has weakened, don't forget that Itachi is still out there!
Now Itachi is naturally focused on Konoha. Once we touch the Uchiha, with the confidential information about the village that Itachi has, if he tells this information to the enemy, the village will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Although I know that Itachi is unlikely to do such a thing, but there is no need for us to take this risk, right?
Moreover, the person who caused the Nine-Tails Massacre is still alive. Without Itachi's help, we would know nothing about each other.
So after talking about the internal problems of the village, external enemies are the biggest hidden danger.
Now because the Uchiha clan has suffered heavy losses, the village clearly has an absolute advantage at this time, but it is willing to accept their conditions and reconcile with them. This just shows our greatest sincerity.
As long as the Uchiha clan feels the sincerity of the village and makes changes, the village will not be unable to tolerate another Uchiha. "
After listening to Sandai's explanation, the two consultants were thoughtful, and Mito Monen said:
"Hiruzhan, what you said makes sense. In fact, as a teammate, Uchiha is still very reliable, just like our teammate Kagami back then. Although I don't like Uchiha, Kagami is the one I trust the most. I agree with your decision."
At this time, Mito Monoyan on the side also nodded in agreement.
However, she suddenly changed the subject and said: "Since the person who caused the Nine-Tails tragedy is still alive, what should we do about the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails? Should we imprison him and send people to protect him 24 hours a day?"
"No need!" Sandai shook his head, and seeing Xiaochun's face looking worried as he went to bed, he explained:
"I heard from Jiraiya that when Minato sealed the Nine-Tails on Naruto, in addition to the special technique to seal the jinchuriki, he also left a double four-image seal to form the Bagua seal.
Now even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he has not released and controlled the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body.
So we just need to continue to ensure Naruto's safety without restricting his freedom.
In fact, there is an obvious benefit to keeping Uchiha.
The huge Uchiha clan has so many outstanding ninjas. Sooner or later, someone will be able to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan. As long as he can be used by the village, there is no need to worry about the Nine-Tails uprising.
Even if Naruto really loses control one day, with the Mangekyo Sharingan, we don't need to worry. "
"Hiruzhan, you are still thinking long-term and thoughtfully." After sleeping, Koharu felt relieved. The fear caused by the Kyuubi has been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in Konoha.
"I'm relieved if you understand." Sandai nodded after hearing this.
Mito Kadoyan on the side continued: "But regarding the matter of the Uchiha clan regaining power, I think we should be cautious. We cannot delegate power all at once. We have to do it bit by bit. At least let them know that the village is not You only gave in after being threatened by them, and you had to pay a sufficient price for it, Hiruzen, your previous decision was a bit hasty."
The Third Hokage said: "Actually, I don't want the Uchiha clan to gain power so easily, but some things are beyond my expectations."
Saying that, the third generation looked at Danzo.
At this time, the two advisors remembered that Danzo had been silent since just now, which was abnormal.
The person who should be the most opposed to the Uchiha clan gaining power is not them, but Danzo.
"I just agreed to Kitahara Qianhe's request and did not target the Uchiha clan. Does my abstention have a big impact?" Danzo replied in a calm tone with an expressionless face.
The third generation shook his head and laughed, and said: "According to my original expectation, Danzo, Koharu, and Men Yan will definitely oppose it. When the time comes, I will firmly support Uchiha. In this way, in a three-to-one ratio, the votes of other people will definitely remain roughly the same. flat situation.
However, what we didn't expect was that Hinata and several other wealthy families agreed easily.
After all, even if they support me, they still have to consider their own family. Uchiha regaining power will also change the high-level structure.
But we didn't expect that Danzo would abstain from voting. It seems that Qianhe must have put forward sufficiently tempting conditions, otherwise you wouldn't change forcefully. "
Faced with the Third Generation's outspokenness, Danzo seemed a little unhappy and frowned slightly:
"Hiruzhan, what do you mean?
By not targeting Uchiha, wouldn't it just satisfy your wish to appease Uchiha?
If I try to stop him, with Fugaku's character, he must know that this time the village is trying to stall for time. Do you really want me to firmly oppose it? "
The Third Hokage heard this and thought about it carefully. It seemed like this was the case. Among the senior officials, Danzo had a very bad relationship with the Uchiha clan. Once he objected, Fugaku would definitely doubt the sincerity of the village, so he abstained. Best choice.
It’s just that something is wrong no matter how Sandai thinks about it.
"Danzo, given your character, you must have reached some kind of agreement with that Kitahara Qianhe, right? And what do you mean by establishing the position of minister at the root?
Are you really prepared to let a chuunin jump directly to the top of the village? "
As an old teammate, Koharu was not polite when talking to Danzo. He just said what he had to say without giving any face.
"I am very optimistic about Chiho Kitahara. Although I don't want to admit it, at such a young age, his strength is already far above me." Danzo said calmly.
"What?! How is this possible?" Mito Kadoren said in shock. As an old teammate, he knew Danzo's strength. In their team, Hiruzen, Danzo, and Uchiha Kagami were equally powerful. , in real comparison, Hiruzen and Uchiha Mirror are slightly better.
Later, after Hiruzen III became Hokage, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he was already the strongest among them. After Kagami's death, Danzo's strength did not stagnate, and he was second only to Hiruzen.
Now Danzo is saying that a 13-year-old child is far more powerful than him, which is really unbelievable.
But after thinking about it again, they knew clearly that the child had defeated three thousand Kumogakure's army when he was 9 years old.
Although the two advisers believed that it was mainly Jiraiya's fault, the accompanying Hyuga ninjas all supported Chiho Kitahara. Now it seems that they really underestimated him.
"It is only a matter of time before that child becomes a being that transcends four generations, and that day is not far away. Although the Nine-Tails is powerful, when the first Hokage was alive, the Nine-Tails was just a plaything in the palm of his hand." After Danzo put down these words, Then he got up and left.
After Danzo left, the two advisors looked at each other in the eyes. Unexpectedly, Danzo thought so highly of Kitahara Qianhe.
The first Hokage, the god of ninja who dominated the ninja world for an era with Madara Uchiha, was the only god in the history of the ninja world.
The tailed beast that now terrifies Konoha, when it meets the first Hokage or Uchiha Madara, is just like Danzo said, it is not enough to be a plaything in the palm of his hand.
At this time, Sandai's eyes were filled with uncertainty.
It seems that Danzo wants to use Qianhe to compete for the position of Hokage.
Just like when he abdicated and the Fourth Hokage succeeded, most of the village's power was still in his own hands.
Danzo seems to be making long-term plans.
It's just that Qian He's strength doesn't exist if he wants to control him, and Sandai knows this well.
But Danzo's words also reminded him.
In recent years, his relationship with Chihe has become quite distant.
Compared to Danzo, Chihe is Jiraiya's disciple, and he is Jiraiya's teacher, so he is from the same line.
It would be easier for him to win him over than Danzo, but what the third generation did not expect was that Danzo had a big conflict with Chihe before, but now he can unite with Chihe, which made the third generation feel a strong sense of crisis.
Chihe is only 13 years old this year. If Danzo had not reminded him, the third generation would have almost forgotten it.
Thinking back to the amazing fourth generation who became famous in one battle, the third generation felt that he was old. The fourth generation was only 24 years old when he died. Now the 13-year-old Chihe has the strength that is not inferior to the fourth generation back then. The third generation really feels that he is really old.
In this way, what Danzo said is not unreasonable. Chihe even has the hope of reaching the level of the first generation, which the third generation has never thought of before.
......
On the other side, Chihe followed Uchiha Fugaku and left the meeting room together.
As they went downstairs, Fugaku followed Chiho and talked quietly.
The surrounding high-level officials all had inexplicable expressions.
It is well known that among the high-level officials, Danzo is the one who dislikes the Uchiha clan the most. But now the new head of the Root is so close to Uchiha Fugaku directly on the surface. This does not mean that the attitude of the high-level officials has changed. In addition, the third generation's support for Uchiha today is also unexpected.
All kinds of changes have forced everyone to reconsider their relationship with Uchiha.
"Chiho, wait a minute!" Jiraiya called Chiho from a distance as soon as he walked downstairs.
"In this case, I will go back to deal with the family's affairs first. Please go ahead, Chiho." Seeing this, Fugaku said goodbye very tactfully.
"Mr. Fugaku is polite. Please." Chiho nodded, and then followed Jiraiya to leave.
......
Fugaku hurried back to the clan and summoned the clan members directly at the Nanga Shrine.
Before, Fugaku was in a heavy mood.
Because he was in the high-level, he knew the combat power of Konoha.
Previously, they discussed the coup, but this time, they announced the reconciliation with the village.
Seeing that most of the clan members had arrived, Fugaku looked at the crowd below and said:
"Everyone, I want to announce three news here.
First, I decided that the Uchiha clan would cancel the coup and reconcile with the village!"
"How can this be possible?!"
"Clan leader, I don't agree!"
......
Looking at the excited clan members below, Fugaku frowned slightly, but his heart was also relieved. After hearing the news he announced, only less than one-third of the people were excited, and the rest were relatively calm, as if they were ready to listen to what he was going to say next.
After all, the second and third elders were killed by Itachi, and the radicals were almost killed or injured. The remaining clan members were similar to him, the clan leader, who was pushed by the general trend and had to participate in the coup.
Fugaku was not in a hurry. He waited until the people who were shouting quieted down before continuing:
"The following two pieces of news are that I have reached an agreement with the village leaders.
As a condition for the reconciliation between the Uchiha clan and the village, the village decided to let us move back to the center of the village, to the original site.
Finally, the most important thing is that the Uchiha clan will obtain power that matches our clan and participate in politics.
This is the long-cherished wish of my Uchiha clan, and it will be realized in the future."
As soon as Fugaku finished speaking, the entire shrine fell silent.
