Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The two of them were in a mess.

A few days later.

In the solemn and quiet Hokage Building in Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly behind his desk with exquisite carvings.

His face looked particularly solemn, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his deep eyes revealed contemplation and worry. The thoughts surging in his mind like a tide made him feel as if he was in a chaotic fog.

Not long ago, the behavior of the shadow clone brought him an unexpected situation, and he had to face and bear this "accidental pot" like a heavy yoke.

Although he felt helpless and bored, he felt more of a strong sense of responsibility like a boulder pressing on his heart. Although this sky-repairing plan was hastily proposed by the shadow clone, it was surprisingly good.

His mind was still full of various thoughts. He understood that to complete the sky-repairing plan, he first needed to capture a tailed beast as a test subject.

On the desk in front of him, there was a thick report on the tailed beast research. Sarutobi Hiruzen gently opened the report, which recorded in detail the abilities and characteristics of each tailed beast. He carefully read every page, trying to find the best solution to capture the tailed beast.

However, he knew very well that capturing a tailed beast was not an easy task. The tailed beasts have powerful strength, almost invincible combat capabilities, and each tailed beast has a unique personality and ability. This makes it extremely difficult to capture them, requiring detailed planning and preparation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the report and thought about the next move. He knew that capturing the tailed beast was not just a task, but also an action that could trigger a war.

This is not something that can be easily achieved. For ninjas, the tailed beasts have almost invincible power, and their existence itself is a huge deterrent that shocks the entire ninja world.

Each tailed beast has unique abilities and personalities, which makes it exponentially more difficult to capture them.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, capturing the tailed beast is not a problem, the problem is which tailed beast to capture?

For the five hidden villages, the tailed beast is also their important strength, and is the weapon that the first generation Hokage Hashirama distributed to each village for checks and balances.

Other hidden villages cannot watch their own Jinchūriki being captured.

So if you want to capture the tailed beast, it will inevitably lead to war, but this is not Sarutobi Hiruzen's original intention.

He doesn't want the sky-patching plan to lead to war, and he doesn't want the tailed beast to become the wedding dress of Madara's Moon Eye Plan. He knows that he must act carefully and make sure everything is under control.

However, in this world full of variables, he knows that he can't take it lightly.

There are too many people peeping in the dark, such as that Jigen, such as the old coin Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and the Otsutsuki family formed by the descendants of the Hamura on the moon. These are all unstable factors.

He began to think about how to protect the stability of Konoha Village and the ninja world while capturing the tailed beasts.

Is it possible to pull the ninja world together?

No, at least not at this stage.

The sky-patching plan is too big. Before seeing the effect, those people will not gamble with the tailed beasts and do experiments.

At the same time, in-depth research on the technique of injecting energy into the earth veins is also an extremely difficult task.

This is a brand new field, full of endless unknowns and unpredictable difficulties. Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that it is far from enough to rely solely on existing knowledge and experience. A lot of time and energy must be invested in continuous exploration and in-depth research.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is concentrating on perfecting the crucial "sky-patching plan". He frowned slightly, his eyes focused on the documents in his hand, holding a pen in his right hand, rustling on the paper from time to time, pausing from time to time, thinking for a moment and then continuing to write.

At this moment, the door of the office was gently pushed open, making a slight "creaking" sound.

Orochimaru's unique figure slowly walked in, his steps were as light as a ghost, and he made almost no sound.

His right hand gently held the negotiation report, his fingers were slender and white. Orochimaru slowly walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, and then carefully placed the report on the desk, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the teacher. Then, he raised his head slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Teacher, this is a negotiation report on the Uzumaki clan joining Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the voice, stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head, took the report, opened it and read it.

Not bad.

First point: The entire Uzumaki clan moved to Konoha, and the clan land was near the Senju clan. This is to tie the Senju clan to death! But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care about this.

Second point, the Uzumaki clan will be added to various departments of Konoha in large numbers, which will definitely have a certain impact on other ninja clans.

However, the Uzumaki clan opened up some of the sealing techniques to Konoha, and the impact was easily calmed down.

In fact, the Uzumaki clan is very good at presiding over the sealing class or the barrier class, but perhaps due to some concerns, the documents did not mention that the Uzumaki clan presided over the sealing class and the barrier class.

The third point is that the Uzumaki Village is the ancestral land of the Uzumaki clan and also a maritime stronghold of Konoha.

The daily management of the Uzumaki Island is temporarily in the charge of the Uzumaki clan, and the daily patrol of the Uzumaki Island is garrisoned by Konoha's dispatched troops.

The interests of the Uzumaki Island need to be handed over to Konoha 30% to subsidize the consumption of the garrison troops.

Both parties have some concerns in the negotiations, which is completely a form of transaction.

He looked at Orochimaru calmly, then tilted his head slightly and said in a calm tone: "Well, Orochimaru, tell me, what does the joining of the Uzumaki clan mean to our Konoha."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he gently raised his right hand, stroking his chin, and said slowly: "Teacher, the Uzumaki clan has a powerful sealing technique. Their joining will undoubtedly enhance the strength of Konoha, and may bring new help in many aspects."

"But at the same time, it may also cause some unknown situations. For example, will the other families in the ninja world take any action?" After saying that, his hand naturally dropped again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, his right hand gently supporting his chin, looking at the report, lost in thought, and after a moment he said: "Are the other families in the village still well behaved now?"

"There is nothing we can do if they are not well behaved. The basic sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan will be included in the Ministry of Education as a teaching material. This is something that the whole village will benefit from. I don't think any village will publicly express opposition."

"There may be some actions in private, but it doesn't matter. These small actions can be regarded as a test for the Uzumaki clan! It can also allow them to join the atmosphere of Konoha as soon as possible."

While explaining, Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's face as he lowered his head to look at the document again, feeling a little uneasy. It was like a student handing in homework to a teacher, and the teacher correcting it on the spot.
