Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 212: Disagreement between Master and Disciple

"If Shisui really had some conspiracy, he wouldn't have used the Mangekyō Sharingan."

After hearing what the Third Hokage said, Danzo opened his mouth to say something, but eventually gave up and sat back in the corner.

The other Konoha jonin present also stopped whispering and looked at the Third Hokage.

Clearing his throat, the Third Hokage continued:

"Jiraiya fought very well in this defensive war against Kumogakure. With only 3,000 troops, he resisted the attack of nearly 10,000 Kumogakure troops."

"Although Yugakure Village gave up the treaty with the village, it also successfully expelled the Kumogakure forces from the Land of Hot Springs, reducing the threat from the northeast. Konoha ninjas no longer have to shed blood for Yugakure Village."

"In addition to Jiraiya, the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Ino-Shika-Chou ninjas also made great contributions in the war. Among them, Shisui even captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, making great contributions to the village."

"In order to reward Shisui, I plan to transfer Shisui to my side for training and make him the team leader..."

Let Shisui be the captain of the ANBU?

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar in the conference room. Many jonin suspected that they had heard it wrong. Uchiha Fugaku and Danzo even frowned secretly.

With Shisui's ability, it is not excessive for him to take on a position like the captain of the Anbu.

There are similar positions in the Guard Corps and Konoha's Defense Force, usually held by veteran jonin, and Shisui is more than capable of doing so.

But he was the squad leader of the Anbu, and Shisui was an Uchiha.

Since the second generation Hokage established the Anbu organization, there has been only one Uchiha who joined the Anbu, and that is Shisui's grandfather Uchiha Kagami, but that was decades ago.

Thinking of this, everyone understood the Third Hokage's thoughts.

Shisui is different from other Uchiha, his grandfather is Uchiha Kagami, one of the Uchiha who was close to the Hokage.

The Third Hokage's move was to subdue the Uchiha and create a strife between Shisui and the Uchiha.

This was a blatant conspiracy, but Uchiha Fugaku had no other options, so he could only nod and agree:

"Thank you for your kindness, Sandaime-sama, but this matter still requires Shisui's consent."

The Third Hokage chuckled and said, "I have met with Shisui a few times. He probably has no problem with joining the ANBU, but it's embarrassing to steal a good subordinate from the Fugaku clan leader."

Although he was very dissatisfied, Uchiha Fugaku could only say: "It is Shisui's blessing that the Third-sama values ​​Shisui."

After stepping forward to rescue Uchiha and taking the opportunity to transfer Shisui away, the Third Hokage then rewarded his subordinates according to their merits.

In addition to promising Shisui to become the captain of the Anbu, the Third Hokage also gave the Uchiha clan a lot of jonin quotas. However, compared with the jonin quotas given to the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan's quotas were a bit stretched.

In this defensive war, although the Hyuga ninjas' contribution was not great, they won in large numbers.

The accumulation of so many high-level tasks also greatly increased the number of Hyuga ninjas promoted to Jonin, even surpassing the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop.

Danzo saw all of this and secretly cursed the Third Generation's hypocrisy.

From the beginning of the meeting until now, it was nothing more than a double act between him and the Third Generation, whether it was suppressing Jiraiya or subduing Shisui and giving the Hyuga clan an excessive number of Jonin quotas.

All of this was done to divide the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, preventing the two largest ninja clans from uniting.

As long as the Hyuga and Uchiha are treated differently, the Uchiha will not be able to form an alliance with the Hyuga, and will continue to be suppressed and discriminated against until the clan is completely wiped out. And the Hyuga clan has never been a thing to be feared.

As long as the caged bird system exists, they don't have to worry about the Hyuga clan becoming a threat. When necessary, they can unite with members of the branch family to deal with the main family that occasionally expands its ambitions.

However, Danzo was still somewhat dissatisfied with this performance. He played the bad guy every time, and the Third Hokage always played the good guy.

This is the natural advantage of the Hokage. Even if he pays too much, he can only hide in the corner.

He might have been very angry in the past, but since he got Tenzo, he was not so anxious. Although the blood in Tenzo's body was not as powerful as that of Lord Hashirama, it also contained the power to return to youth.

All he had to do was wait until Tenzou grew up, and he would become the next Hokage of the village.

At that time, all we need to do is release the negative information about the Third Hokage that we have collected over the years, and the Third Hokage will naturally be forced to step down, and he will come forward to become the Fifth Hokage.

Also observing all of this were the duo of advisors and Jiraiya.

The duo of advisors were no longer surprised by this, as they had been going through this for decades. As for those jonin and families who were suppressed, they should think about their own reasons.

After so many years, have you ever seriously developed your power? Have you ever devoted yourself to the village?

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, having already made a decision.

……

After the meeting, Jiraiya came to the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was watching the live broadcast of the crystal ball while smoking a pipe. When he heard the footsteps, he looked up at Jiraiya and said with a smile:

"Jiraiya, you're finally here?"

"Why do you look unhappy? Don't take what I just said to heart. They are just some small tricks to deal with the ninja clan. Danzo didn't mean to target you."

"The Uchiha and Hinata have gained too much credit this time. It's easy for them to get carried away. They still need to be disciplined. The jonin quota is also what they need..."

Seemingly very satisfied with Jiraiya's performance this time, the Third Hokage began to teach Jiraiya some Hokage experience, preparing to push Jiraiya to the position of the Fifth Hokage.

Now, among his disciples, those with the most superior bloodlines and the most promising ones have either defected or left.

The remaining Jiraiya is the only candidate for Hokage.

As for his diligent eldest son and lazy younger son, he wanted to train them to become candidates for Hokage, but their merits and strength were not enough to qualify.

If they were forced to become Hokage, the Sarutobi clan would be in danger.

Jiraiya took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Teacher Sandaime, I heard that Orochimaru has defected."

The Third Hokage nodded with a complicated expression:
"Yes, Orochimaru has defected. When he left, he told me that the sky of Konoha could no longer accommodate his ideals, so he left."

"Oh I see……

Jiraiya sighed softly, then asked seriously: "Old man, now that the war is over, I want to leave the village and bring Orochimaru back."
