I haven't seen fireworks.

Chapter 295 The Village and the Family

The lobby of the Sarutobi Clan is now a temporary meeting room for the Konoha executives.

Orochimaru sat calmly at the first place, and the chiefs of the various clans below, Jonin naturally found their own seat, and then looked at their noses and their hearts with their noses.

With no private soldiers in their hands, and facing the fourth generation of Hokage who came with heavenly skills, the patriarchs, who were not arrogant in the past, but could be regarded as ostentatious, now seem to be weak.

"Everyone, everyone has seen the scene just now, so what do you think?" After sitting for a long time, Orochimaru finally spoke.

"I don't think there is any problem with the trial of the former Hokage by the Fourth Hokage-sama, Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed a heinous crime!"

"Yeah, we never thought that he would be greedy for so much money!"

"Our family has been passed down for more than 400 years, and I have never seen so much money!"

The patriarch below seemed to have received an order, and immediately began to talk about it, but they saw that Orochimaru's face was not very good, and their voices involuntarily became quieter as they talked.

What do you mean, we blame your teacher, you are not happy?

But obviously you started the group first, and you were the one who made the move
The patriarchs felt a little wronged, but they didn't dare to say it, and the whole room quickly fell silent.

Orochimaru shook his head, then sighed: "Everyone is right, but I didn't hear what I wanted to hear!"

"Since the trial ended, I have been thinking about why such a problem has arisen!" Orochimaru asked softly: "Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Hokage of Konoha Village, the head of a village, shouldn't he do his best to consider for the village? Why? Why didn’t the money obtained from the daimyo be used to develop Muye Village, but instead was hidden under his family’s house? He even wanted to let his son take over at the expense of the high-level power of Muye Village!”

"Because he is greedy?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Orochimaru shook his head: "You are right, but not all right!"

"Since the former Hokage always used the word interest, then I will use interest to explain this problem!" Orochimaru said: "We all have our own interests, personal interests, family interests, and village interests."

"As the head of a village, of course, the interests of the village should be put first, and the interests of the family and individuals second, but the former Hokage obviously made a mistake in this order, he put the interests of the family and individuals first, Putting the interests of the village in the end is the primary reason why he made these mistakes!"

The patriarchs thought for a while, and then nodded. Although they had never heard of this saying before, the truth is not complicated, and they can be understood as soon as they are heard.

After understanding it, the feeling is that it is incisive!

"Then why did he put the interests of the family first and the interests of the village behind?" Orochimaru continued to ask.

"This" the patriarchs shook their heads one after another, I'm bronze, you ask me?

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and said, "I think this is the same reason you kept your private soldiers before, he has no sense of security!"

"This sense of security is manifested on the outside, that is, the Sarutobi clan is not the strongest clan in Konoha. If he puts the interests of the village first, and the capable go up and the mediocre go down, then the fastest growing clan must be the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan .”

"But as we all know, both of your families are very closed. You don't like outsiders interfering in your family's internal affairs, and you don't like to cooperate with Hokage's work. In addition, there are a large number of private soldiers in your two families. The growth of your two families, whether it is It's not a good thing for Konoha, or for the Sarutobi clan!"

"This" Hyuga Hyuzu and Fuyue looked at each other, how did it involve us?

But if you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.The Uchiha clan is inherently strong, if it is allowed to develop, the Uchiha will develop thousands of people and tens of thousands of people.

Just imagine, 1 Uchiha troops who have opened Sharingan, are you afraid?
I'm so afraid that I won't be able to sleep well!
"Internally, he is also worried. Although he plans to let Shinnosuke take over, this is all in the plan, and everyone knows that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. In case the Fourth Hokage is out of control, there is no room for him to drill, or Shinnosuke is halfway If he encounters an accident and dies unfortunately, all his plans will be in vain!"

"If the plan fails, not only will Shinnosuke not be able to take the position, but the Sarutobi clan may not have anything to do with the position of Hokage in the next few decades or even hundreds of years!"

"At that time, these hundreds of billions of funds will become the foundation of the Sarutobi clan. It can guarantee that even if there is no Hokage in the clan, even if the family is suppressed by the new Hokage, with this money, it can still develop smoothly!"

So this is ah!

The patriarchs suddenly realized, no wonder Sarutobi Yun didn't know where the money was hidden. It should be something that Sarutobi Hiruza wanted to pass down from generation to generation. Naturally, it is impossible to tell others easily. Maybe he will use his last words after his own death. Way to pass it on!

But the more someone thought about it, something was wrong. After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Then, if you say that, isn't it true that as long as Hokage doesn't come from our Uchiha or Hyuga clan, our two clans are destined to be suppressed?" Fuyue asked with cold sweat.

For the former Hokage, even if he was suppressed, he didn't dare to ask.

But Orochimaru's previous behavior gave him a certain amount of confidence. He felt that the fourth generation of Hokage should not be so.
"Yes!" Orochimaru gave a definite answer without hesitation.

"How can this be?" Fu Yue was taken aback, his face paled visible to the naked eye.

So, the Uchiha clan will continue to be suppressed?

"Do you want to be suppressed?" Orochimaru asked.

"Of course not!" Uchiha Fugaku shook his head directly.

"What about you guys?" Orochimaru asked Hinata Hyuzu again.

"Of course we don't want to either!" Hinata Hizuru also shook his head.

"However, if you don't suppress you, with your abilities, you can easily dominate Konoha. At that time, Konoha's surname will not be Hinata, but Uchiha, so what should I do?" Orochimaru continued to ask .

"Ah, this." Both Fuyue and Hinata Hizuki felt that such a future was pretty good, but of course they knew it was impossible.

Don't say that you haven't risen yet, even if you only have this sign, other families will attack you first when they see that the situation is not good.

Only a few years have passed since the era of Uchiha and Senjuba Warring States, and the small family has not forgotten the days of trembling at the feet of the two giants, still come?

"Although we have only been working together for three days, you should already know some of my behavior. I like to be open and honest, and I will explain the truth to you. I will not fool my subordinates and do things that are unclear!" Orochimaru indifferently Said: "Presumably you two also understand that as long as you put the interests of the village first, your two clans will definitely be suppressed!"

Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizuru were silent, and Orochimaru had the second half of the sentence.

If the interests of the family are put first, they will still be suppressed, and at the same time there will be a second Sarutobi Hiruzen in the village.

Tsk, Hiruza Sarutobi suddenly became a curse word.

"This..." Fuyue's face was miserable and unwilling: "Are we the Uchiha clan destined to be suppressed? This is fair to the village, but not fair to us!"

"Yes!" Hinata Hyuzu also nodded immediately. It should not give an inch when it comes to the interests of the family, let alone the issue of fairness now.

Orochimaru smiled slightly: "This is the second question. Why did the rise of your two races lead to the decline of Konoha? Why sacrifice the interests of your two races for the benefit of Konoha?"

"This" Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hyuzu looked at each other: "Yes, why, we are stronger, isn't it equal to Konoha's strength?"

"You don't want to watch the drama either. Without Uchiha and Hinata, it will be Shimura, Inokacho, any clan is the same! The former Hokage is the precedent!" Orochimaru looked at the patriarchs of several small and medium families next to him : "The former Hokage hoped that the Hokage's surname would always be Sarutobi, don't you want the Hokage's surname to be Nara forever, and Shimura forever?"

Several families swallowed, and reasoned, the temptation is really great.

Although I knew that I should deny it, I couldn't deny it in my heart.

"When your people are in position, won't you move the money from the village to your home?" Orochimaru continued to ask.

"This"

The patriarchs were speechless when they were asked, although they disdain Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior, but if I were Sarutobi Hiruzen, I might not be better than him!

"Then, what should we do? Is the position of Hokage going to be handed over to civilian ninjas in the future?" Fu Yue asked.

Orochimaru shook his head: "For civilian ninjas like me, Jiraiya, and Minato, it is lucky to have one in decades, and there will be generations. When the time comes, the Hokage who will take office will not have the strength, so how can I overwhelm you? The family might simply become the marionettes of the major families, and Hokage will not be the only one taking money from the family."

"Can you still do it like this?" The patriarchs were taken aback for a moment, feeling like they were being taught a lesson, but it's a pity that Orochimaru is in power now, so they don't have the opportunity to practice.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then our families are destined to be suppressed?" Fuyue's voice was a little sad. For the rise of the Uchiha clan, he has been busy all his life, but you tell me that this matter is fundamental. impossible?
Orochimaru nodded: "In fact, looking at every village, everyone is doing the same thing, but in any village that is not one super strong, it is common to suppress ninja families, such as Wuyin Village, Yunyin Village, Yanyin Village The Onoki clan in the village was not considered a strong clan before, but after Onogi came to power, the Onoki clan is also suppressing other clans.”

Fu Yue's heart is cold, so whether it is a commoner or a family ninja, the family will be suppressed!

Then why are we adding this village? How come no one told us this truth a few years ago!
"Huo, Hokage-sama, do you have a solution here?" Patriarch Nara suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Fuyue was taken aback, right!

None of the questions raised by Orochimaru have not been resolved.

The same is true for this question, otherwise he would have no reason to say it specifically, is it to prepare the major families to be suppressed?
It was the Nara patriarch who was smart enough to detect the problem at a glance.

Orochimaru smiled and nodded: "I do have an idea, but before that, I want to ask you a question, why the village will be damaged when the family grows."

"What is the relationship between the family and the village?"

"What is the relationship between the interests of the family and the interests of the village? Is there a relationship between the two that prospers and both prospers and one loses the other, or is it a relationship that ebbs and flows one after the other?"
