Although they have agreed to hold the Five Kage Conference in Konoha, it is not convenient for Onoki and the Third Raikage to go directly.
On the one hand, the two need to arrange the Allied Ninja Force in the Country of Grass and the affairs of the village. On the other hand, they and Konoha also need to do security work in advance.
Regarding Uchiha Madara's matter, Konoha did produce enough evidence, and even an autograph letter from the Fourth Mizukage, but the two of them still had to guard against the worst plan, that is, it was all Konoha's conspiracy.
.
If you are willing to believe that Konoha and Hiruzen Sarutobi are the same thing, you still have to make preparations.
In the Konoha camp, Onoki, the Third Raikage and Sarutobi Hiruzen reached a consensus and agreed to meet here in three days and head to Konoha together.
After bidding farewell to Ōnoki and the Third Raikage, Sarutobi Hiruzen made arrangements. He asked Mito Katoen and Neten Koharu to lead the medical and logistics troops and return to Konoha first to assist Kizaru in preparing for the Five Kage Conference.
Regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, the two consultants had no objections and happily agreed.
Ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the news that the First Hokage had been reincarnated from the dirty earth, the two of them had long been looking forward to returning to the village to meet the First Hokage and listen to the teachings of this respected elder (to show off their achievements to the First Generation).
That afternoon, with expectations and joy, the two consultants led the village ninjas back to the village with smiles on their faces.
At the same time, the teacher of the two advisors, Senju Tobirama, was sitting in the Hokage's office, looking through Konoha's account books, as well as various confidential information and affairs during Konoha F4's rule.
Senju Tobirama is a very rational and serious person. Even if he is educating his disciples, he must prepare substantial evidence.
There are a large number of documents piled on the Hokage's desk. Tobirama has already read most of them since he came here in the morning.
There is a saying that Konoha F4, headed by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, has indeed made a lot of contributions to the village, and most of the affairs are handled without problems.
But there are always a small number of things that are affected by personal emotions and interests, causing the four of them to make decisions that are not in line with the village's regulations, or even damage the interests of the village.
For example, distorting the second generation's thoughts and extremely suppressing the Uchiha clan.
Tobirama's policy towards the Uchiha clan has always been to use a big stick in one hand and candy in the other to suppress the fighting faction within the Uchiha, closely support the dove faction, and divide the forces to win over the Uchiha.
As a result, after his disciple Hiruzen Sarutobi came to the throne, he only suppressed the Uchiha, but did not win over them. He completely forced the entire Uchiha clan in the direction of the martial arts sect.
Strengthen monitoring, do not allow Uchiha ninjas to hold positions outside the police force, and reduce police force funding...
This series of repressive measures makes Feijian's scalp numb.
What do Hiruzen and the others want to do? Directly force the Uchiha to rebel and take the opportunity to exterminate their clan?
After reading the village leaders' decision to deal with the Uchiha clan, Tobirama didn't know whether to call his disciples stupid or bad.
You can't be stupid and bad, right? Your vision in choosing your apprentice is not that bad, right? Or is your ability to teach your disciples too poor?
If the Uchiha incident made Tobirama doubt his disciple's ability to govern, then some of the documents that followed made the second-generation Hokage, who was known for his wisdom, feel that his blood pressure was a little high.
If the body reincarnated in the dirt really had blood pressure, it would probably explode immediately!
The village's logistics procurement has been controlled by Koharu, the Hokage's consultant, for more than ten years. The unit prices of the purchased items are obviously flawed.
Tobirama really wants to ask, how high are the prices in Konoha now? So high that an ordinary kunai costs eight thousand taels?
When Tobirama was alive, he relied on large-scale purchases to keep prices down, and a handful of kunai cost only three thousand five hundred taels.
There are also Bingliang pills. The purchase price of one pill is as high as five hundred taels. What is this? This is not how you make money from the village, right?
From the documents and account books that he reviewed, Tobirama roughly estimated that Koharu had embezzled at least hundreds of millions of taels in logistics procurement alone.
And this was just logistical procurement. When Tobirama flipped through the documents at the back, where the village relied on the research results of the scientific research institute and conducted business cooperation with nobles and wealthy merchants, a large number of suspected corruptions were discovered.
The account books of these business projects record various large miscellaneous expenses, such as travel expenses, tea expenses, public relations expenses, etc.
The total cost of these expenses is as high as 70 to 80 million taels.
If you add in what Naoki told Tobirama about the benefits the two consultants received from nobles and wealthy businessmen, then these two men embezzled hundreds of millions of funds from the village in one year.
Shocking, shocking!
Tobirama originally thought that the few disciples were only seeking some benefits for the clan, but they were not fair enough in dealing with their cronies and friends.
As a result, the disciple's behavior exceeded his imagination, and he was given a loud slap in the face.
Throwing the account book in his hand on the table, Tobirama raised his head with a cold expression.
He didn't know about Koharu and Yan's corruption. Was Hiruzen, the Hokage, involved?
If he participated, it can only be said that he really misjudged the wrong person back then. This disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen made him extremely disappointed.
At best, even if he was not involved, why didn't Hiruzen see such an obvious numerical problem? Or did he see it and chose to protect his teammates?
No matter what the reason is, Hiruzen, the Hokage, is very incompetent!
On the other hand, Danzo, this disciple who had some extreme thoughts at the beginning, did something that satisfied Tobirama.
Back then, at the end of the First World War, he led the Shadow Guards to Kumogakure Village and signed an armistice agreement with the Second Raikage. As a result, they encountered a rebellion by Kumogakure's Gold and Silver Horn brothers.
The second generation Raikage was killed on the spot. He was also injured in a sneak attack. He escaped from the Hidden Cloud Village with the Shadow Guards and was pursued by the ninja troops led by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers.
In order to get rid of the pursuit and for the future of the village, I made a small test and proposed that someone needed to stay behind to buy time for others.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, a disciple, offered to stay behind, passed his own test, and was recognized by him as the next Hokage of the village.
Tobirama actually prepared this test for Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if others spoke first and proposed to stay as the queen, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen also spoke up and said the queen, Tobirama would still choose Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Among the four disciples at that time, only two were recognized by Tobirama as Hokage candidates, one was Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other Danzo. (Uchiha Kagami and Akimichi Tofu, in the official setting, they are only members of the Hokage Shadow Guard.
members, it was not stated that they were disciples of the second generation.)
Among them, Hiruzen Sarutobi has the highest priority, and Tobirama is more optimistic about it. Danzo is considered a backup option.
The gap between the two is, on the one hand, due to their talent in ninjutsu. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has mastered the changes in chakra properties of all attributes, has a higher limit of strength growth than Danzo, who specializes in wind escape.
On the other hand, compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen's peaceful and peace-loving character and thoughts, Danzo's character and thoughts are more extreme and he prefers the martial arts faction, which makes Tobirama worry that Danzo will frequently fall into wars after he takes over.
middle.
It was due to two considerations that Tobirama was more willing to choose Sarutobi Hiruzen as his disciple.
But now it seems that choosing Hiruzen Sarutobi instead of Danzo may have been a wrong decision.
From the documents reviewed, it seems that although Danzo was too extreme and committed many evil deeds, he mainly targeted forces outside Konoha, and targeted wrongdoings within the village, mainly suppressing the leaders of various ninja clans.
Pass.
However, from Tobirama's point of view, Danzo's suppression was not a big mistake. At least he suppressed them indiscriminately. He targeted all ninja clans, even the Shimura clan from which he was born.
This is undeniable. The population of the Shimura clan and the number of ninjas have indeed dropped a lot compared to when I was still alive.
Compared to the growing Sarutobi clan, as well as the families behind Koharu and En, it is obvious that the Shimura clan has made huge sacrifices for the village.
From this point of view, although Danzo is extreme, he is extremely fair and he is not good to everyone!
Danzo, this disciple, is indeed a ruthless and ruthless man!
With emotion in his heart, Tobirama couldn't help but reflect on his original decision to choose his successor. If he had chosen Danzo to become the third Hokage, and let Sarutobi Hiruzen assist him, it might have been a better choice.
Compassion does not lead to soldiers, justice does not support wealth! Hiruzen's heart is too weak!
Recalling this, Tobirama suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Kizaru and his eldest brother Hashirama sitting in the reception area, and asked: "Kizaru, who is the Third Raikage of Kumogakure?"
"He is a disciple of the second generation!" Kizaru, who was chatting with the first generation, looked in the direction of the desk and asked a question.
Nodding, Tobirama was speechless about the pair of brothers in Hidden Cloud Village who killed him.
He couldn't understand that these two reckless men, after killing the second Raikage in a sneak attack, stayed in the village without their men to stabilize the situation and get the location of the third Raikage first.
Instead, he brought all his subordinates to chase him, but he fought to the death and replaced Yinjiao and all his subordinates, leaving only Jinjiao who was seriously injured.
What are you planning? Did you create a rebellion like this? Idiots are idiots, hopelessly stupid!
Thinking of his life, where his brother was stupid, his disciples were stupid, and he died at the hands of a fool in the end, Tobirama felt very uncomfortable and sighed helplessly.
"I have almost read the account books and documents. When Xiaochun and Yan come back, I will deal with them and let them make up for all the embezzled money."
After finishing speaking, Tobirama paused and continued: "And Hiruzen, if he is also involved in corruption, I will..."
"I can guarantee that Sarutobi-sensei has not participated in corruption." Kizaru told the truth. This was the result of asking Kakuzu to check the accounts. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sarutobi clan behind him have never embezzled money.
However, the Sarutobi clan did acquire a lot of intermediate and advanced ninjutsu from the village during Hiruzen Sarutobi's tenure as Hokage, which greatly improved the family's heritage.
"Even if there is no corruption, covering up relatives and friends, watching Koharu and Yan make mistakes without stopping them, is a serious dereliction of duty on his part as Hokage." In Tobirama's view, Sarutobi Hiruzen's indecisiveness and soft-heartedness made him even more angry.
"Hahaha! Well said!" Hashirama on the side heard his brother's words and clapped happily, with a proud look on his face, as if he had heard me right.
】
Outside the Hokage's office, in Konoha F4, Danzo, the only one left in the village, was walking in the corridor with an expressionless face.
Arriving at the Hokage Building from the root base, Danzo didn't know that his teacher Tobirama had also been reincarnated by the dirty earth. He simply came to see Kizaru.
He received a reminder from the Nara clan, and Kizaru suddenly retrieved a large number of past confidential documents and account books from the administrative office.
Kizaru's behavior made Danzo a little worried, worried that his nephew was preparing to do something drastic.
If he wants to settle old scores and deal with the two consultants, Danzo supports it, but not now. This is not the right time.
Uchiha Madara has not yet been resolved, and the Five Shadows Conference is about to be held. At this time, the village needs stability.
Walking to the door of the Hokage's office, Danzo was stopped by Tanin, who was in charge of guarding the door.
"Tani Nin, I want to see Kizaru!" Danzo looked down at Tan Nin and smiled.
"Elder Danzo, Hokage-sama is talking to someone. He doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone." Tannin, who was assigned the task of guarding the house by Kizaru, said a little nervously.
"Then you go in and inform Kizaru for me." Danzo said with a kind face, keeping a smile on his face.
Nodding, Gu Ren said: "Please wait a moment!"
After saying that, Gu Ren opened the door of the office, walked in sideways, and then immediately closed the door.
"Hokage-sama, Elder Danzo wants to see you."
Without speaking immediately, Kizaru looked at Tobirama, who was sitting in the Hokage's office.
Understanding what Kizaru meant, Tobirama hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Among the four, Danzo made the smallest mistake. Tobirama was willing to have a chat with this disciple first and give him a beating at the same time.
"Let Elder Danzo come in!" Kizaru said with a smile as he stood up from the sofa.
Staring straight in the direction of the door, Kizaru was looking forward to the scene where his uncle Danzo and his teacher Tobirama would recognize each other.
"Yes!" In response, Gu Ren reopened the door and looked sideways at Danzo outside the door, "Elder Danzo, please come in."
After Danzo came in, Tanin walked out of the office and closed the door again.
Entering the office, Danzo looked around. His eyes paused in front of Kizaru and the first-sama who used the transformation technique, and then looked at Tobirama, who also used the transformation technique.
Danzo had seen the appearance of the first master's transformation technique before, and he recognized it immediately, but the strange middle-aged man sitting in the Hokage's office made Danzo frown.
The smile on his face faded. Danzo had a very bad impression of this strange middle-aged man who dared to sit in the Hokage's seat!
As Kizaru's biological uncle, I have never sat in that position. Why do you dare to do it?
"Ignorant bastard! Get up! Can anyone sit in the Hokage's seat?" Danzo scolded him sternly while glaring at Tobirama.
Kizaru's eyes widened slightly, but he didn't expect that as soon as his uncle came in, he would directly scold the Second Hokage Tobirama.
Tobirama, who was sitting in his seat, was not angry. He looked at his disciple and spoke calmly.
"Danzo, it's been a long time no see, you're getting old too!"
Tobirama's words made Danzo feel something was wrong. He looked at this strange middle-aged man and then at Kizaru, hoping that his nephew would explain the situation to him.
"Hahahaha!" Before Kizaru could speak, Hashirama was already amused by the scene in front of him, holding his stomach and bursting into laughter.
The first-sama's laughter made Danzo feel a little uneasy. Could it be that the strange middle-aged man in front of him was some kind of senior?
"Brother, is it funny?" Tobirama left his position and stood up. He first glanced at Hashirama, who was laughing loudly, and then walked towards Danzo.
Big brother?
Hearing this title, Danzo couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead. Kizaru, this nephew, is so deceptive! How did he reincarnate Teacher Tobirama?
You little bastard, are you trying to trick me to death?
At this moment, Danzo was about to cry but his whole body shrank up a little. He looked at the teacher walking towards him and cautiously shouted: "Teacher Tobirama!"
"Hahahaha!" Hashirama laughed even louder!
Along with Hashirama's smile, Kizaru, who had received professional training, couldn't help but laugh.
