I, the dragon man!

Recalling that time, Hiruzen sighed sadly.

How happy their lives were when the teacher was still there.

Although because of Lord Hashirama's departure, the remaining ninja villages finally challenged Konoha's dominance.

But if the damn Raikage and Kumo ninja hadn't killed their teacher, then as long as they escaped from the siege that year, Konoha Village could still gain national power under the leadership of the teacher that was far superior to what he had achieved after leading Konoha.

It’s just that there is no such thing as just….

There is no such thing as...

Some people may think that Orochimaru really might become Hokage.

But in fact, Orochimaru will never have the chance to become Hokage.

As for the reason?

Ah.

If the Sannin were replaced by Hiruzen, Danzo and Kagami, then Jiraiya would undoubtedly be Hiruzen, Orochimaru would be Danzo, and Kagami would be Tsunade, who is also the descendant of the strongest ninja clan in Konoha.

In this life, Danzo seemed to be only one step away from becoming the Hokage. It seemed that if he had only made the decision faster than Hiruzen, he would have become the Hokage.

But actually?
If he was the first one to propose a breakup, then he might actually be the one who broke it off...

As for the reason?

Ah!
On the one hand, just as the third generation Hiruzen can always see the darkness hidden in the heart of his disciple Orochimaru, can the second generation not see the darkness hidden in Danzo's heart?
And on the other hand….

On the other hand, Hiruzen's father, Sarutobi Sasuke, was a proud man who was qualified to compete with Senju, Uchiha and Hinata during the Warring States Period.

Although Sarutobi Sasuke was completely suppressed by Hashirama and Madara, who else in that era would not be suppressed by those two people?
Aside from Hashirama and Madara, Sarutobi Sasuke is not inferior to Tobirama and Izuna. When facing the outside world, he can even compete with Raikage Tsuchikage and others.

Even after the Kyuubi Rebellion, the Uchiha family, who were frightened by the pair of Sharingan eyes in the Kyuubi's eyes, worried that the way to show their goodwill to the third generation was to name the clan leader's youngest son Sasuke!
Why is Uchiha Sasuke called Uchiha Sasuke?

That's not a coincidence, that's because Uchiha claimed to use this name to commemorate the Warring States Period and the founder of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Sasuke!

Yes, Sasuke Sarutobi's title back then was Shinobu, but there were too many fan works that put this title on the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen does have many titles. Internally, the ninjas in the Hokage Village call him the Ninjutsu Professor. Externally, the ninjas from the other four major countries call Sarutobi Hiruzen the God of Ninja!
That's right, his own people called the third generation Ninjutsu Professor. That's because the third generation knew that he was not worthy of the title of the God of Ninja. He had seen the peak strength of Hashirama and Madara with his own eyes back then!
But gradually forgotten Hashirama and Madara's opponents, that is, the ninjas of the other four major countries.

In the eyes of those ninjas, Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength was already that of a ninja god!
So what kind of strength does Sarutobi Hiruzen have?

Don't forget, in the final battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the guy who can kill the low-end version of Daibutsu with one move of Five Escape Dalian Bullets!
Although the third generation of the dirty earth has unlimited chakra, the infinite chakra will not help him increase the upper limit of his output. At his peak, his five-escape chain bomb was indeed a move that the third generation of thunder and the third generation of the earth could not solve at all.

Having said this, some people may think that this must be exalting the Third Hokage.

After all, in this day and age, people are more willing to go to Kuro Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But to be honest, looking at the third generation of Hokage based on the entire background story of Naruto, he is indeed worthy of the title of the best Hokage!
The first Hokage has been in power for eight years and actually did nothing. Everything was done by the second generation.

The contribution of one generation is too high. It is both the terminator of the Warring States Period and the founder of the Ninja Village Era.

But in fact, the reason why so many wars broke out in the Ninja Village era was because the first Hokage distributed the tailed beasts...

Hashirama did a few things when he was Hokage. The most important policy was to distribute tailed beasts, but it turned out that this was the root of cholera in the ninja world...

The Second Hokage has been in power for two and a half years. In fact, counting the previous generation, the Second Hokage should have been in power for ten and a half years.

In the past ten and a half years, Konoha Village has been moving forward completely in accordance with the plan of the Second Hokage.

Whether it's a nursing home, an orphanage, a hospital or a ninja school.

These are all political legacies left behind by the second generation in power.

Of course, the second generation is indeed a qualified politician, but he himself is inevitably unable to get rid of the extremes left over from the Warring States Period.

The treatment of the Uchiha clan is the result of the second-generation Hokage's willfulness.

To be precise, the Second Hokage made a bad start for the future of Konoha Village.

That is...the unity in Konoha Village is always just words. As long as there is need, Konoha Village can really mess with its own people!

Although the first generation did nothing politically, Hashirama really left the will of fire for Konoha.

The Second Generation did a lot of political things, but he also left a real shadow on Konoha.

As for the third generation….

The third generation can really be said to have taken orders in times of crisis.

In the first ninja war, the main difficulty faced by the third generation was not actually the four enemy countries.

Under the suppression of Hashirama and Tobirama, Konoha Village was very strong at the beginning, and a series of families such as Ino Shikacho and others had their own elites, and families such as Sarutobi Shimura and other families dared to fight.

After the Third Hokage returned to Konoha Village and learned of the death of his teacher, the most important thing the Third Hokage did during the First World War was to take back power from the major ninja clans who had become more arrogant and angry due to the death of the second generation. !
Including the older generation such as Sarutobi Sasuke, the group of seniors who came during the Warring States Period and participated in the establishment of the Ninja Village would not casually recognize a series of children such as Hiruzen and Danzo.

If we write a fanfic, the protagonist is an old-timer of the Inorakacho family. The protagonist in the Hashirama era was suppressed, and the protagonist has been accumulating strength.

If Hashirama and Tobirama die, if the protagonist of this fanfic doesn't jump out to compete for the position of the Third Hokage.

This fanfic will be criticized to death by readers!

This is what Hiruzen is facing!
The Uchiha family supports Uchiha Kagami, the Hyuga family supports the head of the Hyuga clan, and the three major families support the Nara clan head of the Shika family. Even painters and dog owners want to jump out and compete for the position of Hokage!

What the fuck is this situation?
This is the situation where Sarutobi Hiruzen will be blocked in a corner by a large group of 50 to [-]-year-old men and women whenever there is a meeting!
If we don't create the right of the root elders to go to the ANBU on the one hand, and set up the Hokage to assist on the other hand to divide the relationship between the many elders of the ninja clan.

There's no way Sarutobi can become the third generation!
The first Hokage assistants were not Koharu Koharu and Mito Kabuto who were both eighteen or nineteen years old at the time.

The first Hokage's assistant was Uzumaki Mito, the Nara clan leader who was Konoha's advisor at the time, and the wife of the first generation lord!

Let Uzumaki Mito, who supported him, stand up and fight against a series of ninja representatives such as Nara. On the other hand, he created the root and opened up a new ANBU battlefield. Then after getting enough merit on the battlefield, he Sarutobi Hiruzen finally Seize the position of Hokage!

Some people always say that the reason why the third generation chose the fourth generation as Hokage is to control the fourth generation and make the fourth generation a puppet.

But, when the Fourth Hokage came to power, he was already in his twenties, but when the Third Hokage came to power, he was only [-]!That's about the same age as Naruto when he fought in the fourth battle!
After the first ninja war, Konoha Village was in decline. The older generation gradually passed away, and the young people had not yet risen!
So, who fought the Second Ninja War?
During the Second Ninja War, the three ninjas together could not defeat Hanzo. Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo together could barely compete with the Kingdom of Water.

In other words, there were only a few talents in Konoha Village at that time, so who were the Tsuchikage, Raikage and others to deal with during the Second Ninja War?
Nonsense, of course it’s Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu and Men Yan’s gang!
How do you think the title of the Third God of Naruto came about?

Some people always say that Hiruzen is not as good as the Third Raid because Hiruzen does not know forbidden techniques and cannot break the Third Raid's defense.

But in fact, all three generations of Rai lost against Hiruzen in World War I and World War II...

Some people say that Hiruzen can't defeat Sandaime Earth because Ohnoki can fly and his dust escape is very strong.

But think about it, Sandai Dou still lost completely in the two great ninja wars!
During World War I and World War II, Konoha did not have the mature Sannin and Minato, the new generation's top experts!
The strong men in Konoha Village who are familiar to readers were all trained during the reign of the Third Hokage...

Just kicking the seven Ninja Swordsmen away by Matt Dai is equivalent to announcing that the Kingdom of Water has withdrawn from World War III.

Who trained Matt Dai?

No one trained him at all, he was inspired by the Will of Fire!

And what about the Will of Fire?

It was pioneered by the first generation and carried forward by the third generation. Isn’t this correct?

As for Minato, he is a third-generation disciple.

Where are the Sannin, the third generation disciples!

During the three ninja wars, every outstanding guy had an inseparable relationship with the third generation.

Is this a coincidence?
It's not a coincidence, the third generation is really good at education and publicity.

Whether it is the taking root of the Will of Fire or the gradual formalization of the Ninja Academy, it was all promoted by the third generation.

We can say that the third generation is just following the path arranged by the second generation.

But he's gone pretty well, isn't he?
Europe has been waiting for three generations of leaders like this for too long.

Britain won two world wars but lost its dominance.

The third generation has won three world wars, and the Fire Country is still the largest country in the world. This motherfucker is the real strength of the third generation...

Even in the era when the Ninja Village was at its most disconnected, Konoha took the initiative to start the Second Ninja World War.

Are Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo really so full of black spots that they have nothing outstanding at all?
Didn't even a high-ranking guy like Danzo lose a hand and an eye in the war?

He didn't take the initiative to harm himself for Hashirama's cells and Sharingan!
He has really tried his best for the war...

His character and thinking are indeed full of dark spots, but you say he doesn't love Konoha?
Love, he still loves, just in a different way.

Danzo's problem is that he is too vicious, too insidious, too indifferent, too radical, and too ungrateful.

But apart from those, he still loved Konoha deeply in his own way.

His own way is: I belong to Konoha and Konoha is mine.

Yes, it’s the gap mentioned above.

He's just very self-righteous.

The reasons why many Kurokos are desperately trying to blackmail Sarutobi Hiruzen can probably be summed up in a few points.

The first to bear the brunt of the bad things Danzo did, people felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen needed to bear the responsibility.

People felt that since Sarutobi was the Hokage, he should know about the unscrupulous things Danzo did.

But in fact, Danzo was an old classmate and comrade-in-arms who deeply trusted Sarutobi. They went to school together, carried guns together, and visited prostitutes together.

Among them, does Sarutobi really have no trust in Danzo at all, so much so that Danzo must report it to Hiruzen even if he secretly captures a few people for experiments?

Sarutobi Hiruzen may have acquiesced in Danzo's experiment, but he would never allow Danzo to reach out to the ninja clan.

There are so many prisoners in the prison, so what if they are dragged into experiments?

People die every day on the battlefield and during missions. What leader can clearly tell the exact cause of death of each person?
On the other hand, Black Sarutobi's points include Hizashi's death, Minato's death, White Fang's death, and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, etc...

When Minato died, Sarutobi's wife also died... Sarutobi would rather peek at the female hot springs than marry another man in his life. He wouldn't make fun of his wife, so he skipped it.

Everything is fate and accident.

Besides that, what does Hizashi's death have to do with him?
That was an internal decision of the Hyuuga clan. While Sarutobi and the dishonest Kumo ninja were arguing about the attack on the delegation and the kidnapping of Hinata, Hizashi had already come forward to commit suicide, and even left a letter to his son, telling him Everything was Hizashi's decision for Neji, right?

Isn't this the reason why Hinata doesn't want to cause the Fourth Ninja War due to this incident?
What mistake did Hiruzen make again?
Kumo Ninja asked Hiruzen to hand over the Hyuga clan, Hiruzen said that I wouldn't listen, Kumo Ninja said he would fight if he didn't listen, Hiruzen was considering whether to fight.

Then Hizashi's suicide occurred less than half a day after Kumo-nin's attack.

In half a day, can the leader of your great country make a complete decision on whether to fight or not fight the Fourth Ninja War?

It was basically the Hyuga family that made this decision for Hiruzen!
The Second Ninja War was started by Konoha. Is the Third Hokage really as fearful of war as the Kuroko say?

As for Hatake Sakumo….

Hiruzen was also helpless about this matter.

Hatake Sakumo is already the head of ANBU, so he has a high position of authority.

The new heir to Konoha is relatively young. Before Hiruzen takes the throne, he should do something to discredit Sakumo to prevent Sakumo from being painted by a dog breeder. Isn't it unreasonable for a series of small and medium-sized ninja tribes to have a yellow robe?

In addition to the Hokage, Sakumo, the ANBU minister, does not need to listen to the words of the Hokage's assistant and Danzo in Konoha Village.

Besides the Hokage, Sakumo is the eldest. The third generation also gave Kakashi the qualification to inherit the position of Hokage. Is this a mistake for Sakumo?
What's more, Sakumo, as an ANBU, could actually commit suicide...

The French president has surrendered so many times without committing suicide!
As for the Uchiha clan….

In this regard, Hiruzen never felt that he had made a mistake!
Because the annihilation of the Uchiha clan is what Hiruzen's teacher Tobirama is most looking forward to in his life!
The genocide of Uchiha is the political correctness left by the second generation!
There is no second! (End of chapter)
