MTL - Hokage: Invincible at the Beginning, Anger Against Konoha-Chapter 14
"With so many Uchiha clansmen defecting, if it cannot be handled properly, it will definitely affect the reputation of the village and the [Nation of Fire]!"
Turning to bed, Xiaochun said quickly and firmly:
"good!"
"I propose that a large number of pursuit troops should be dispatched immediately to capture all those Uchiha clansmen who defected, or kill them on the spot!"
"And to control all the remaining Uchiha people in the village, it is best to execute them together!"
"In this way, we can truly consolidate the prestige of the village!"
Hearing this, Sarutobi retorted instantly:
"No!"
"The Uchiha family is good at fighting, plus the talented Uchiha Natsume. If you want to kill or capture them all, at least half of the village's ninjas have to be dispatched, and there is even a risk of group destruction!"
"Once you miss it, the entire Konoha's defensive power will be severely damaged, and even cause the coveting of several other Ninja villages!"
Sarutobi has experienced the divine power of [Susanoo] up close.
in front of that mighty force.
Ordinary Anbu ninjas have no resistance at all.
Look at that old yin **** in Danzo, who was almost killed by his strength.
Enough to see the horror of that Uchiha boy.
If you rashly send troops to pursue them, you may have no return!
Konoha has lost a lot of combat power tonight, and can't take any more risks!
"Don't tell me, are you going to watch them successfully defect and disregard the prestige of the village?"
"I'm Hokage, I need to give priority to the safety of the village!"
"And the aggressive pursuit will inevitably consume a lot of resources, the ninja tools to block, the supply of ninjas, etc... are not a small number!"
"The village is now thriving. Is it a good thing to drag the village into war again?"
"Also, I don't approve of resorting to force against the remaining Uchihas in the village. They are also the victims of this defection..."
Sarutobi retorted fiercely.
Compared to chasing down those defectors, as Hokage, he now cares more about the village.
Soon, the discussion devolved into an argument.
But obviously, because of tonight's change.
The two senior advisors, Koharu and Mito Gate Yan, were more inclined to severely punish the Uchiha family.
Sarubi was the only one who wanted to take a gentler approach.
If Danzo is also there, it is estimated that he will still choose a radical strategy and agree to deal with the Uchiha family!
So much so that Sarutobi had to back down a bit in the later stages of the dispute.
However, at this moment.
Outside the office, an unexpected figure suddenly asked to see him.
…
Seeing to beg to meet, it was Uchiha Itachi, who belongs to the Uchiha clan.
Turning to bed, Xiaochun immediately shouted angrily:
"Uchiha Itachi? As a rebel, how dare you come here?"
"Xiaochun! Pay attention to your words! Itachi is an Anbu ninja and has nothing to do with his family!"
"Also, it was the family objection that Itachi reported."
"Humph…"
Turning to bed, Xiaochun snorted coldly and said no more.
"Itachi, why are you here?"
Sarutobi looked at Itachi and asked gently.
He still values this genius ninja with outstanding talent, cherishing the village, and discerning righteousness.
What's more, for the sake of the village and justice.
The ninja who reluctantly decided to betray the family and bear the sins are very few, which is very rare!
"I'm here to report my father's proposal to the village."
"Oh? What does Fuyue want to say?"
Sarutobi became curious.
After all, in tonight's battle, Fuyue is a real participant.
Itachi bowed his head and began to narrate according to the instructions given to him by his cousin Natsume.
"My father said: As the chief of the clan, as the captain of the police force. This time, I failed to detect the defection in the clan in advance, and failed to prevent the defection of Uchiha Natsume and others. The responsibility is all on him, it is his dereliction of duty. already."
"Ask Konoha to punish!"
"In addition, in the name of the great patriarch, he will claim to the outside world: This is a civil strife of the Uchiha clan! It is all a problem within the clan and has nothing to do with Konoha. Instead, Konoha helped suppress the civil unrest and safeguarded the Uchiha family."
"Finally, my father also promised. Next, I will do my best to capture all those defectors, or kill them directly!"
"Ask the village for permission!"
Listen to this narrative.
All three of Sarutobi's eyes lit up.
Itachi's report completely solved their two most tangled problems!
As long as the Uchiha family is willing to declare that this is a family civil strife, not a defected village, and take the initiative to take the blame.
It can completely maintain the reputation and prestige of Konoha! It can even add a fair reputation.
Second, let the rest of Uchiha's clansmen go to arrest those defectors, which can save a lot of manpower for Konoha!
Even if not all of them are captured, even if there are battle losses along the way. It also consumes the strength of the Uchiha clan. For Konoha, it kills two birds with one stone, both advantages and disadvantages!
This is much better than sending a large number of Konoha ninjas to hunt and kill!
…
The three of Sarutobi were silent.
Seems to weigh the pros and cons of the proposal.
But no matter how you think about it, the advantages of adopting this proposal outweigh the disadvantages!
After a while, Sarutobi took the lead and asked:
"How is Fuyue's injury?"
"My father's injuries are a bit serious, and I'm afraid it will take several days to recover."
"Itachi, standing in Konoha's position, what do you think?"
"What my father said should be true!"
"Father's intention to rebel before was mostly instigated by radicals in the clan. Father didn't want to rebel."
"Now, most of those radicals have fled. Father can let go of his hands and feet."
"Also, the most important thing. Except for my father, there are probably few people in the entire village who can compete with Natsume [Susanoh]?"
Itachi narrated in an orderly manner.
Obviously, he had already prepared the words.
After all, if you can't convince the senior officials of Konoha here.
The remaining Uchiha tribesmen in the village are in danger!
Hearing this, Sarutobi nodded again.
It's still the same reason, the strength shown by that kid Uchiha Natsume is too powerful!
Sarutobi was also secretly afraid.
If he could, he really didn't want to take the Konoha Ninja's life to chase and die!
"Xiaochun, what do you think?"
"Although this proposal is good. But how can we ensure that the Uchiha ninja sent to hunt down the traitor will not also defect?"
Itachi paused and continued to explain.
"Just keep the rest of the Uchiha family of ninjas under control in the village. They won't dare to rebel, and they will only honestly hunt down traitors for the village!"
"Yeah! Itachi said well."
"This is indeed a good idea!"
Mito Gate Yan, who was beside him, also praised the proposal.
Such a good strategy that is beneficial to the village and can make the dog bite the dog within the Uchiha clan, they really have no reason to refuse.
Soon.
Sarutobi made a decision.
"Very good. Itachi, we will seriously consider this proposal."
"You go back first."
"Remember, be optimistic about the remaining Uchiha clansmen, and don't let them mess up again."
"Also. Let's put the instructions Danzo gave you for a while."
"As ordered!"
Itachi nodded in agreement.
My heart was suddenly overjoyed.
He understands that this is almost equivalent to the high-level Konoha accepting this proposal.
In this way, the remaining Uchiha clansmen in the village are temporarily safe.
Father, mother, Sasuke, they are all safe.
At the same time, Itachi was even more secretly horrified:
"Is this what Cousin Natsume left behind?"
"With just one proposal, the crisis of the remaining clansmen has been dismantled! The village has also taken the initiative to reuse the remaining Uchiha clansmen!"
"Is it possible that he has already thought of this step? Even the three generations of adults have predicted their decision?"
"Cousin Xiamu, how deep are you hiding!"
…
Chapter 12 After the border is broken, cooperate with Aunt Snake
three days later.
【Land of Fire】On the northern border, in a sparse pine forest.
Several figures are lurking among the dense foliage, always on alert.
In fact, in order to protect the clansmen who fled together, Natsume, the young patriarch, naturally took measures.
Divide the crowd into zeros.
Elderly and weak women and children with weaker physical strength were arranged in batches into the caravan heading for the [Tianzhiguo], quietly.
Young ninjas with slightly stronger physical strength will walk on dangerous places such as dense forests and rocks. While leaving traces, it charms and misleads the follow-up Konoha chasers.
Even, he personally took several names of Shangnin and stayed behind.
Strive for nothing.
