Uchiha Fire Demon - Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Listening to reports
Hokage’s office.
Hiruzen sat on the office chair.
He is smoking.
Listen to the ANBU ninja’s report on the recent Uchiha situation.
“You mean, more than a month ago, Uchiha started bidding aggressively for residential land in the village?”
Hiruzen took a deep drag on his cigarette and asked the ANBU jonin who was reporting.
The ANBU jonin has silver hair.
He wore a black mask and an ANBU uniform black tight-fitting combat uniform, with a very cold expression.
Hatake Kakashi replied: “Yes, Hokage-sama!”
Even though the Hokage was in front of him, he was still businesslike, like a machine without emotion.
Kakashi is a tragic character.
When he was seven years old, his father Konoha White Fang chose to commit suicide and end his life because he was slandered by the village.
At the age of twelve, during the battle of Kannabi Bridge, his friend Obito Uchiha unfortunately “died in battle” in order to save him from the hands of the Iwagakure ninja.
The follow-up plan of Kirigakure Village resulted in the death of Nohara Rin under his lightning strike.
A year ago, during the Kyuubi Rebellion, the teacher and his wife were killed.
Now he was alone.
This also directly caused Kakashi’s character to become weird and cold.
Listening to Kakashi’s report, Hiruzen’s wrinkled face showed a thoughtful look.
The Sarutobi clan had wanted to get involved in the real estate industry before, but they gave up the idea because of the huge upfront investment and long payback period.
Other families also have the same concerns, so they are not interested in the real estate industry.
Uchiha actually wants to develop a real estate project?
It was simply a case of urgent medical treatment!
A meaningful smile gradually appeared on Hiruzen’s face.
He seemed to have predicted the embarrassing situation that the Uchiha Real Estate project would be in after it went bankrupt.
At that time, the Sarutobi clan can take back the project at a low price without any effort, thus making a huge profit.
Looking at Hiruzen with a strange smile, Kakashi was confused, but he was so cold that he would not ask any more questions and continued to report.
“In addition, there have been fewer complaints from villagers against Uchiha recently, but complaints against major families have increased.”
“What’s going on?” Hiruzen frowned, feeling that this was not a good thing.
It turns out that the Uchiha senior officials adopted Blaze’s suggestion.
Regarding various conflicts that arise in the village, the Uchiha Police Force adopts the approach of reducing major issues to minor ones.
Resolutely ignore things that can be ignored.
Take care of things that need to be taken care of as you please.
When conflicts arise between major families and villagers.
Uchiha took a very gentle approach.
Always muddy.
The conflicts were secretly transferred to the major families.
Thus.
The major families have nothing to say.
After all, it was their fault first.
The villagers also knew that Uchiha tried his best.
The Uchiha Police Force pulled away from the conflict.
So the major families and villagers turned to the opposite side.
“This Fugaku is really cunning!” Hiruzen cursed secretly, and then said to Kakashi.
“You send a message to Uchiha Fugaku for me. In the future, for security incidents in the village, those responsible must be dealt with seriously.”
Kakashi was stunned for a while and said: “Hokage-sama, but… many security incidents are caused by the Sarutobi clan. Isn’t this bad?”
Hear Kakashi’s reply.
Hiruzen fell silent.
Since Hiruzen became the Third Hokage, with him as his support, many clan members have indeed begun to become domineering.
Hiruzen sighed deeply and said, “Let’s hold off for now.”
Kakashi nodded without saying a word.
After the report is over.
Kakashi used the “Body Flicker technique” and disappeared from the office in an instant.
Hiruzen stood up and stared at the village through the window.
In the Nine-Tails Natural Disaster a year ago, the fourth generation couple was killed, causing Konoha to lose two super strong men, and also lost many jonin and chuunin.
After all, in front of Kyuubi, no matter how many jounin and chuunin there are, they are far from enough.
Even though they were as strong as Hokage couple, they still sacrificed their lives to barely separate the Nine Tails into two and seal them.
Of course there is the reason for Kushina’s weakness after giving birth.
On the other hand, it is also because of the power of Kyuubi.
Hiruzen’s wife, Sarutobi Biwako, was also killed by Uchiha Obito on that day.
Hiruzen also took office in the face of danger and came back to take charge of power.
Although it’s nice to be back in control.
However, the loss of Konoha’s combat power did make Hiruzen heartbroken.
Fortunately, the Third Ninja War has ended.
Occasionally, conflicts break out among the hidden villages.
But only one or two ninjas died occasionally.
This was harmless enough to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
They died for the Will of Fire.
They are the hero of the village.
They deserved their death.
The village will always remember them.
As Hiruzen swallowed.
A faint smell of tobacco began to permeate the office.
He returned to the house, sat down, and used the telescope technique.
A child’s figure appeared in the crystal ball on the desk. He looked about one year old, had blond hair, and had light lines on his fair left and right cheeks.
Six lines!
The child is Uzumaki Naruto.
At this moment, he was playing with blocks alone.
Maybe it was not set up well, so he got a little angry and started crying.
There was no one in the house.
He can only let him cry.
After a while.
The nanny who went out to buy groceries just came back.
Hearing Naruto’s cry, she hurried into the house to hug him and comfort him.
Through the crystal ball.
Hiruzen could only see little Naruto’s movements, but could not hear the latter’s cries. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
It wasn’t Naruto he hated.
But the Kyuubi inside Naruto.
As time went by, the gossips of the ninjas around him, and the damage caused by the nine-tailed demon fox to Konoha were too great, so he began to hate little Naruto.
Hiruzen is Hokage and cannot express many things.
I can only hide it silently in my heart.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” Sarutobi Hiruzen dispersed the telescope technique.
The crystal ball returned to calm.
An old man in white clothes with a bandage around his right eye slowly walked into the Hokage’s office.
His face was old-fashioned and serious, and he exuded a cold aura.
When he looked at Hiruzen Hokage’s seat, he felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart.
The person who came was none other than Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha Roots.
Currently he is also Orochimaru’s nominal leader.
Originally, he had a chance to sit on the throne of Hokage!
“It’s you. What a rare visitor.” After discovering that it was Danzo, Hiruzen took a deep puff and then blew out a smoke ring.
As an old fox, Danzo couldn’t hear Hiruzen’s sarcasm. He sat on the sofa and spoke expressionlessly.
“Lord Hokage, as the supreme leader of the village, was personally appointed by the daimyo. Although I am the leader of the root, I am also your subordinate. You will not refuse to communicate with your subordinates.”
Danzo once sent someone to pretend to be a wandering ninja and assassinate Hiruzen, but the latter easily saw through.
But Hiruzen didn’t delve into it.
After all, the two had a deep bond over their life.
However, the relationship between the two has also become subtle.
Hiruzen stubbed out his pipe.
He stood up and sat down on the sofa to the left of Danzo, then asked, “What’s the matter? Just tell me.”
