"I need to consult with my people about opening up the number of guards to the village, and I can't give an answer here."

Faced with Nara Shikahisa's proposal, Uchiha Fugaku subconsciously frowned, then shook his head and said in a roundabout way.

This time, the patriarchs of the ninja clan came to discuss how to divide the Hokage's power.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't expect that Echizen Flame would give away the power of Hokage, which he had coveted for a long time, to others without care.

After hearing Nara Shikahisa tell the specific distribution plan, Uchiha Fugaku felt a chill in his heart, and said secretly, what is the meaning of this Hokage? Aside from still taking the Hokage's salary, what else is like the Hokage?

In Lu Jiu's plan, the power does not fall on each family, but is implemented in the newly created positions one by one. The ninja only has the opportunity to compete for this position, and other ninjas, or civilian ninjas, can also apply.

But on Fuyue's side, Lu Jiu made a difficulty.

In his opinion, the Uchiha, who has the position of a guard, has enough power.

It's just that there are many things that conflict with the shadows directly under the Hokage, and Uchiha Fugaku doesn't want to offend the Hokage, so he asks the clansmen to stay away from the edge for the time being and leave the matter to the shadows to deal with.

But judging from the rules of the second generation, these powers can only be possessed by the Uchiha.

Nara Shikaku has a lot of headaches, in his opinion, the Uchiha's power is already very large, but they don't make good use of it, if other powers are distributed to them, Shikaku, as the leader, will receive criticism.

And it is very likely that the power that falls into the hands of the Uchiha, like the guards, will not work.

This kind of thankless thing, the high-IQ Nara Shikahisa doesn't want to do.

Unless the Uchiha will open the quota of the guard, to the village.

It seems to have curtailed the Uchiha's control over the guards, but with the support of the other clans, the guards' voice in the village has also become more weighty.

It's a pity that Uchiha Fugaku didn't take into account the feelings of his clan and didn't agree at the first time.

After all, the guard team is the basic plate of the Uchiha, and no matter how bad the Uchiha ninja is, he can still be a security guard.

Once the quota of the guard team is opened to the village, those Uchiha ninjas will not even be able to act as security guards.

Nara Shikahisa resisted the urge to frown and changed the subject in a deep voice, "Then let's discuss the last question." ”

"According to the dark department managed by three generations, it seems that the ninja with roots is missing."

Root Ninja?

Hearing these words, all the patriarchs felt chills, as if they had touched bad memories.

Sarutobi does not have the strong strength of the first Hokage, nor does he have the political skills and resoluteness of the second Hokage, and if he wants to deal with internal instability, he can only adopt simple and brutal and very cruel methods.

However, Sarutobi has a cowardly and indecisive personality, and the person who did it became his good friend Shimura Danzo, the darkness of the ninja world that even the shadows of other ninja villages had heard of.

The roots led by Tuan Zang recruited people in a way that was as crude and simple as his style of acting, directly approaching the patriarchs of various clans. If you don't give it, you will be charged with collaborating with the enemy.

Fearing that the ape behind Tuan Zang Fei Ri was slashed, the patriarchs had to reluctantly hand over their clansmen to the roots, and from then on they became the dogs under Tuan Zang, and had no connection with the family again.

I thought I wouldn't hear anything about them, but I didn't expect that in this informal patriarchal meeting, I heard Lu Jiu take the initiative to mention the roots, and he was still missing?

"Missing? This is just one side of the story. Yamanaka sneered, the roots were out of control, and even the Hokage didn't know their whereabouts.

Whether they really disappeared or were sent on a mission, the truth is known only to Danzo.

Nara Shikaku shook his head slowly, and said with a heavy heart, "In our clan land, the blood of the root ninja was found. ”

Hearing Lu Jiu's words, the hearts of the patriarchs suddenly rang with alarm bells, and their first thought when they knew what kind of mongrel Tuanzang was, "This can't be to frame us, right?" ”

To say that Sarutobi is not suitable as a third-generation Hokage, there may be controversy.

But whether Shimura Danzo can become the darkness of the ninja world is undisputed.

The dark inner group and the roots of the dirty work are simply Wang Ba looking for a turtle Qin family - the right door.

Even the patriarchs who had blood on their hands felt extremely disgusted when they talked about the group.

They know that Tuan Zang will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Although he didn't know what Danzo's purpose was, he could really slander the ninja clan with a few drops of blood without changing his face.

"I don't think so." Lu Jiu frowned and shook his head solemnly, "If Tuan Zang really asked for something else, he would have already brought the roots to us to ask for compensation." ”

For Tuanzang's style of doing things, Lu Jiu knows it clearly.

However, this news was conveyed to him from the shadows of the three generations of Hokage, which means that the ninja of the root is really missing.

Moreover, it is still in their clan.

"Combined with the time and place of the disappearance of the root ninja, there is only one person who can do it." Nara Shikaku took a deep breath, hesitated for a while, and said slowly, "...... Four generations of Hokage-sama. ”

The patriarchs who pricked up their ears, after hearing the answer, showed disbelief on their faces, and said in astonishment, "How is it possible, it is actually the fourth generation?" ”

"Why would he do that?"

Without Shikaku telling them, the patriarchs could also imagine that the only one who could kill the root ninja silently was Echizen Flame, who came to visit at that time.

It's just that they can't believe that Echizen Flame, who is the Hokage, actually killed the ninja at the root in person.

"Danzo should have been instructed by the three generations to send root ninjas to warn us not to favor the four generations because of power." Nara Shikahisa recounted the analysis he had done before, "But he probably didn't expect that the four generations left a shadow clone in the clan land, killed the root ninja the moment they stepped into the clan land, and used fire to destroy their corpses." ”

Uchiha Fugaku, who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, bowed his head slightly, agreed with Lujiu's statement, and said in a deep voice, "I once went to the battlefield with the four generations, and the four-generation three-body technique and the advanced three-body technique are superb, even if it is a shadow clone, it has extremely strong combat power. If you want to deal with the root ninjas of different clans in the village at the same time, only four generations of adults in the village can do it. ”

The patriarchs gathered at this time were all of the new generation, about the same age as Echizen Yan.

Many of them have seen the battle of Echizen Flame with their own eyes, and they know that Echizen Flame's shadow clone technique has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and it will not divide chakras equally, and it also has the same defensive power as the main body, and has the combat power that rivals that of the upper ninja.

If it was when they left their clan, Echizen Flame left behind a shadow clone, then the hidden clone hiding in the shadows was able to quickly kill the root ninja.

The patriarchs present were silent, not knowing what they were thinking.

The death of the root ninja tells them that the fourth Hokage's style of doing things is completely different from that of the weak third generation.

Whether it's good or bad, no one can tell.
