A long time passed.
Uchiha Kagami, whose life's major event had been arranged, left, his face filled with satisfaction as he fantasized about how the future Hokage should act and how he could integrate the various clans into Konoha.
On the way, he met Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.
Uchiha Kagami inadvertently showed a look of pity.
Hiruzen, whose talent used to surpass mine, actually has a bloodline disease inheritance. I never expected such a thing to happen.
Alas! As fellow disciples, he is too pitiful!
Well, I'll just have to be more accommodating to him from now on!
"What's wrong with him?!" Danzo Shimura looked at Uchiha Kagami's unusual gaze, puzzled. Although he found the ordinary Uchiha Clan members unpleasant due to their family alliance, he still had a good relationship with a special existence like Uchiha Kagami.
Of course, he had an even better relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi, the heir of the Sarutobi Clan, who was part of the Fourth Alliance.
"Who knows! Maybe the teacher promised him some benefits again! Didn't he help him get introduced to that Senju Huairu woman the day before yesterday!" Hiruzen Sarutobi pinched his chin and said in a lewd tone. Compared to the serious Danzo Shimura, he was a pervert who loved women very much.
"That woman is not a good person!" Danzo Shimura frowned and said, recalling the woman's delicate and affected demeanor, and her various false words from her charming eyes. For a moment, he also looked down on Senju Tobirama's actions.
Although he disliked the Uchiha Clan, he still had a good deal of friendship with Uchiha Kagami, who had spent several years with them.
Seeing Teacher Senju Tobirama scheme against Uchiha Kagami like this, intending to control him through kinship, still made him unhappy.
"Alas, the teacher is also doing it for Konoha. The Uchiha Clan, with their current unity, if they become Hokage, what future will other clans have! Only by making the Uchiha Clan consume itself internally can we be safe!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura put their arms around each other's shoulders, trying to persuade him, completely avoiding any mention of Senju Tobirama's mistakes.
However, these words did remind Danzo Shimura of the teachings of his elders in the clan.
That is, in the distant Sengoku period.
Facing the might of the Uchiha Clan, all other clans could only prostrate themselves, daring not to resist.
It wasn't until they joined the Senju's camp, relying on the power of the Senju Clan to fight against the Uchiha Clan, that they could occasionally pick up scraps and allow their own clans to survive in the Sengoku period.
By relying on the Senju Clan to bear the main offensive of the Uchiha Clan, other clans were able to survive safely and grow continuously.
It's unclear why, even though the Uchiha Clan emphasized survival of the fittest and respect for the strong, their impact on other clans was essentially limited to a certain degree, fully conforming to the essence of Sengoku survival. Yet, the Senju Clan, who didn't care about any other clan, insisted on taking the Uchiha Clan's actions to heart and fighting them to the death.
And these clans, who originally could only submit and surrender under the Uchiha Clan's power, naturally rose up with the help of the Senju Clan's influence, avoiding the consequences of defeat.
But even so, facing the Uchiha Clan, they were defeated and surrendered, but facing the Senju Clan, even if they accepted their goodwill, it was only an alliance and partnership.
Both sides were equal.
Since you talk about friendship, mutual understanding, and uniting more people, then it is an equal relationship.
It was precisely because of the internal conflict between the Senju and Uchiha that these clans, which once numbered in the tens or hundreds, gradually developed and grew, becoming clans with thousands of members.
Recalling the clan's teachings, only by keeping strong individuals at the same level in internal conflict can they, the weaker ones, avoid the losses of war and secretly develop in silence.
Hiruzen Sarutobi deeply understood this essence. What if he was arranged to be a stepping stone for Uchiha Kagami on the surface!
Could it be that the other party could become Hokage just by having the Uchiha surname?
"Besides, who's to say that the future Hokage won't come from our Sarutobi Clan! The Uchiha Clan is hated by many, the Senju Clan is envied by many. Excluding these two clans, the only opponent, the Hyuga Clan, has a main family and branch family policy, which directly eliminates competition! As long as I get the teacher's approval, why can't I be Hokage!" Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's faint smile, a surge of ambition welled up in his heart.
...
"What? A meeting!" Uchiha Tenxiu's face was full of suspicion, as if he was completely bewildered, staring straight at Uchiha Feima, who had come to deliver the message.
Beside him, Uchiha Yukino and Uchiha Lingyue were also confused, as if lost in a fog.
Usually, these trivial matters are handled by a few squad leaders, so why is it Tenxiu's turn today!
However, since things had come to this, their shopping plans could only be canceled.
Although Konoha was old, dilapidated, and small,
what was important was having someone to accompany them, and that was enough.
And at this moment, the two who had been deprived of companionship both had gloomy faces, as if water could drip from them.
One must know that Uchiha Tenxiu was usually a training fanatic, barely able to spare any time.
Today, he had only managed to free up some time because of the Konoha Ninja School meeting, and now he was disturbed again.
How annoying.
Uchiha Lingyue glared fiercely at Uchiha Feima, making him shiver, fearing that he would be reprimanded.
"Lead the way!" Uchiha Tenxiu said distractedly, as if his mind was completely elsewhere, just casually agreeing.
Uchiha Feima, seeing this, quickly replied, "Okay, Lord Tenxiu, please follow me." With that, he walked quickly ahead, leading Uchiha Tenxiu towards the Konoha Clan Military Police Force Headquarters building.
Not long after, the two arrived in front of the Konoha Clan Military Police Force Headquarters building.
This five-story building was painted red on the top and white on the bottom, appearing solemn and majestic. In front of the building stood the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force's symbol, a huge shuriken, engraved with the Uchiha Clan's crest, a fan representing the power to control flames, inspiring awe.
However, despite how imposing this building looked, it was completely unable to deter the ordinary residents who came here.
A corpulent man in a luxurious purple robe stood in front of the building, loudly scolding the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force members in front of him.
"What right do you have to control us? Let me tell you, my backer is the Minister of Finance of the Land of Fire!" The man roared arrogantly, his fat face flushed with anger, and he held a small note in his hand, clearly threatening the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force members.
At the same time, another Uchiha Clan Military Police Force member nearby encountered the same situation.
An old woman was holding him tightly, constantly yelling, "How can you people be like this? I'm just setting up a stall here, it's not bothering anyone, why are you moving my things?"
The Uchiha Clan Military Police Force member looked helpless, explaining while trying to break free from the old woman's grip, saying, "I'm sorry, you're operating on the road, people can't pass. We're just helping you move it, don't be unreasonable. The broken things were already broken, we didn't do it!" The Uchiha Clan Military Police Force member's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and grievance.
In the center of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force's main entrance, more than a dozen people surrounded the gate, preventing entry and exit.
"Why half a year in prison? My son Banggeng only stole one chicken! Does one chicken warrant half a year in prison!"
"Exactly, that's a child! And our family just got drunk and accidentally smashed the tavern door, why a year in prison? We already paid for the damages! They didn't get hurt, so why should they be locked up in prison!"
"Exactly, our family..."
A crowd of people argued endlessly.
"This is the Uchiha Police Force Headquarters?" Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes widened, unable to believe the scene before him, that such a disgraceful thing would happen at this Uchiha Police Force Headquarters.
"Uh, uh... Lord Tenxiu," Uchiha Feima was also helpless, but still said, "They are like this. Compared to you, Lord Tenxiu, who in one day established how we should exercise the authority of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force and how to manage the Konoha Prison, the other two branches and the headquarters are still half-dead, holding meetings, meetings, and more meetings all day long over trivial matters!"
"Then they invited me..."
"Yes, they invited you to take action!"
Uchiha Feima nodded.
