The Rise of the Uchiha

Inside the Hokage building,

Minato Namikaze sat in his office seat, and the room was silent.

Minato Namikaze had just met with Uchiha Fugaku, and after hearing his intelligence, he fell into deep thought.

He didn't know what to do.

On one hand, he wanted to pass the position of Hokage to his master, and on the other hand, he wanted to be a Hokage recognized by everyone, rather than relying on suppression to maintain Konoha.

Just like what Uchiha En said, how similar it is, Senju Uchiha and the four major families

"Kakashi, please ask Jiraiya to come over for me."

""Yes, Hokage-sama," Kakashi replied, and disappeared into the office. He had just heard the information from Uchiha Fugaku, and was greatly surprised, knowing that his teacher was in a stalemate.

After a while, Jiraiya's figure entered from the window. He was just appreciating art, and when he was about to create, Kakashi's arrival interrupted him. Hearing Minato looking for him, and seeing Kakashi's expression, he had a hunch that something might have happened, and it might be related to him.

"Minato, is there something wrong?" Jiraiya came in and saw Minato Namikaze with a heavy face.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I……"Namikaze Minato didn't know how to start

"It should be a problem with my teacher. Jiraiya saw that Minato was in a stalemate. The one who could make Minato Namikaze in a dilemma should be his teacher.

Minato Namikaze sighed and slowly explained the situation to Jiraiya.

"How could it be, teacher?……"I can't believe it myself

""Teacher, what should I do?" Minato Namikaze asked Jiraiya with a wry smile.

Jiraiya was also confused. He did not agree to suppress the teacher's family, but there were too many of them. If they were not handled properly, Konoha might have a civil war. The four major families used to survive by sucking Konoha's blood. Now that Minato is the Hokage, he will definitely not let them continue to suck blood.

Jiraiya did not answer Minato Namikaze

"I'll go find the teacher and ask him about it." After a while, Jiraiya broke the silence.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Jiraiya."

——

Jiraiya arrived at the door of his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen's house.

He stood there for half an hour without knocking on the door.

"Come in, Jiraiya." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came from inside the house.

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice, Jiraiya walked into the house.

"teacher……"It's a bit difficult to speak

"Jiraiya, what do you want from me?"Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that his disciple wanted to see him.

"Hey, teacher, I just heard something and I want to ask you."Jiraiya said

"Oh, is it Konoha or Uchiha?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused.

"Neither, it's your teacher's Sarutobi family." Jiraiya said with difficulty

"My Sarutobi clan?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused. What happened to his family?

Jiraiya saw that his teacher didn't seem to understand yet.

So he told him the situation of the four major families.

After understanding the situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while.

"Alas, I am a real failure as a Hokage."

I didn't expect that my family and my old friend's family would grow to such a scale. What was he doing when he was the Hokage? He actually let his family grow to this size.

Maintain the balance between Konoha and the major families, weaken the Uchiha clan, control Danzo, and let him eliminate all threats to Konoha.

I subconsciously ignored my family and my old friend's family. After all, they were my own family and my old friend's family. I trusted them very much. There were family members who I had watched grow up since birth, and there were family members of the same generation as me.

So, some of the big and small positions and benefits were given to them unconsciously.

I didn't expect that little by little would add up to a lot. After decades of operation, it has unknowingly grown from a small family to a behemoth like it is now.

Didn't I notice it? The family is sucking the blood of Konoha. I noticed it, but after all, I didn't absorb much each time. I didn't want to sacrifice the family members I had watched grow up, so I put them in a safe place.

I didn't expect it.

I always regarded the Uchiha as an unstable factor in Konoha, but now their four major families have become more unstable than the Uchiha.

"teacher……"Jiraiya looked at the teacher who looked lonely.

"I already know, Jiraiya"

"Don't worry, our clan will never cause any harm to Konoha. I am the third Hokage of Konoha."Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his apprentice Jiraiya with a firm gaze.

Jiraiya looked at his teacher who was recovering."Teacher, if you need anything, we will help you." The three ninjas and Minato will all help.

"Really? Thank you, teacher."Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a look of satisfaction.

His useless disciple has now become a reliable teacher.

After Jiraiya left

"Come, notify the great elder to come over." Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the air in a heavy tone.

Outside the house, a figure disappeared.

——

Sarutobi clan land.

The Great Elder of Sarutobi appeared in Sarutobi's home.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Great Elder with a serious expression.

""Shoichi, how many ninjas are there in the Sarutobi clan?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the great elder of the Sarutobi clan, Sarutobi Shoichi, who was of the same generation as him.

Sarutobi Shoichi was wondering why Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly summoned him, and he looked serious. After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, his heart skipped a beat.

Was he discovered?

The scene was silent, and the great elder Sarutobi Shoichi did not reply.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped his palm on the table

""Bang!"

The table was broken into pieces.

"Answer me," Sarutobi Hiruzen roared with an angry expression.

"More than 3,600 people" Knowing that he could no longer hide it, the elder replied

"More than 3,600 people, I never thought they would be so capable."After confirming the number of people, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked furious.

"How many people are there in the tribe?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again

"More than 20,000" The elders were desperate. After Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped down, some people arranged by Namikaze Minato took over their positions. After the redistribution of benefits, the Sarutobi family is now unable to bear it. Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is asking, let's leave the question to him.

"What is the current situation of the clan?"After hearing this number, Sarutobi Hiruzen added the number of ninjas and knew that the clan was about to collapse.

"No, I can’t bear it any longer." The elder replied with a sad face.

"A large number of people in the tribe are unemployed. The tribe is providing subsidies, but it is far from enough."

"The situation of the tribesmen who earn money from missions is not very good either."

They used to work in offices, but now they are asked to go out to run missions. The conditions are too harsh.

"The situation of the elders is similar."

"How did clan members react?"

"It's very bad, saying that Minato Namikaze is ungrateful and suppressing them"

"Some people in the clan think that you shouldn't pass the position of Hokage to Minato Namikaze. There are many excellent ninjas in the Sarutobi clan."Sarutobi Masakazu whispered

"Some people want you to take the position of Hokage again, or pass it on to someone designated by the family," Sarutobi Shoichi said in a lower voice than before.

After learning about the situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered.

We must find a solution quickly, otherwise there will be a big mess.
