Hokage: I Am A Swordsman

Compared to Liu You who is at home right now.

Now the old fox Sarutobi Hiruzen is having a hard time.

The most trusted son died, and the most promising apprentice also left, these are nothing.

The most important thing is that now his Hokage is about to become a poor commander.

All the famous families are either alienating him, or treating him in various ways.

For example, if they wanted to go to Rain Shinobi Village to deal with Liu You, those guys agreed on the surface and sent several people, but it turned out that almost two years have passed without any movement.

It can be said that although he still occupies the position of Hokage now, his current situation has become very delicate.

"Mieko, do you also think that my Hokage is a failure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a sigh.

"Master Hokage, why did you say that?"

Mieko is naturally the wife of Yuan Fei Shinnosuke.

Now Yuan Fei and Asuma have also left Konoha, saying that they want to go out to enter the ninja world. The only person Sarutobi Hiruzen can fully trust now is his own daughter-in-law.

"Because of a wrong decision at the beginning, Shinnosuke was killed. Now basically all the families in the village are watching the fire from the other side. It is because of Liu You that my 23 years of hard work have almost come to naught. I I'm so sorry!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said very unwillingly.

"Master Hokage, Liu You's wings are full now. Whether it's his own strength or the Akatsuki mercenary group he formed some time ago, the fighting power is first-class. According to our information, the members of the Akatsuki mercenary group are all It's an S-rank traitor, and now it's not that easy to deal with him."

Mieko sighed.

Why did she never want to avenge her husband?

But she understood that she was no match for Liu You at all, and that Xiao mercenary group alone would probably be as easy as killing a chicken against her, a small Elite Jōnin.

"No, I absolutely cannot continue to let him develop."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a strange look in his eyes, and after leaving a word, he left the Hokage building and walked towards the Uchiha clan's residence.

At this time, within the Uchiha clan, it was also very lively.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen's status in the village is getting worse day by day, this gives them hope.

A hope of ascending to the position of Hokage.

The elders and the patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku, had just held a secret meeting and it was disbanded shortly thereafter.

When Uchiha Fugaku returned home, he saw his wife carefully holding a cup of steaming tea in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Master Hokage, please use it slowly."

Mikoto was also very knowledgeable and didn't ask any more questions. After serving the tea, he withdrew.

"Master Hokage, if you want to find me, just let me know, you don't have to come to the door in person.

Fugaku's expression changed, and he said calmly.

"Patriarch Uchiha, I won't talk nonsense, I want to make a deal with you this time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"oh?"

Fugaku glanced at Hiruzen in surprise, and then said: "Master Hokage is too polite, we are Konoha's police force, if you have anything to do, just ask directly.

"Hehe, Patriarch Uchiha, let's open the skylight and speak clearly. I have been sitting in this position for a long time. Logically speaking, it is time to retire and give you capable young people a chance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and laughed.

"Huh? Master Hokage, you mean..."

Fugaku hesitated to speak, but he had guessed something in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"That's what you mean, I can step down from this position, or let you Uchiha run for the Fourth Hokage spot, I only have one request, that is to bring Liu You back from Rain Shinobi Village to meet me, Just corpses."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

Originally, his current situation is very embarrassing, instead of continuing to stay in this position, it is better to simply take this position out and seek the last wave of profit

Or, to avenge his son.

Master Hokage, this..."

Fugaku hesitated, and it was a lie that he was not excited when he heard this. You know, since Uchiha Madara's generation, they have been competing with the Senju faction for the position of Hokage.

But until now, they have not won once, and even their rights have been marginalized by Konoha's senior management, and they may become abandoned pawns at any time.

They also thought of this, and they only held meetings frequently recently.

"Patriarch Uchiha, as long as you can bring back Liu You's body, I can guarantee that you have a 50% chance of taking the position of Hokage this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen once again threw out a big news.

Although he is really awkward in Konoha's high-level right now, he still has a very large voice in Konoha. Don't forget, there are still those ignorant villagers supporting him.

Moreover, there is Anbu behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, as long as he is willing, it is very simple to do some insider information.

"Since Hokage-sama has said it so straightforwardly, I'd rather be obedient than respectful, but, you also know that now that Liu You is in Rain Shinobi Village, we need to make a detailed plan.

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice.

Facing such a temptation, Uchiha Fugaku admits that he has absolutely no ability to refuse.

%50, coupled with the strength of their entire Uchiha, it is not impossible to turn this %50 into 70 or 80. This time they have a great chance to sit on the throne of Hokage.

"No problem, I expect to retire in Konoha 47, you still have nearly a year, as long as you don't let me down, I can guarantee that I won't let you down.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen left a word, he left 48 directly.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku, who had received this promise, began to breathe a little short of breath.

After hastily saying hello to Uchiha Mikoto, he got up and left the house, and asked his subordinates to call the elders of Uchiha again to start the meeting again.

This time, the future fate of their Uchiha is at stake, even if he is the patriarch of Uchiha, he has to be treated with caution.

"My lord, has my lord gone out again?"

A cute-looking child with a horoscope mark on his face and a pair of real Kazilan's big eyes came out with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Itachi, father is the patriarch, there are many things to be busy, we must be considerate of father!"

Mikoto said softly.

"But... Father has clearly promised me that he will teach me ninjutsu today."

Today's Itachi is not yet three years old, nor has he gone to the battlefield to see the war like in the original book, so he doesn't understand what Mikoto said, he only knows what Uchiha Fugaku promised him.

"Hehe, Itachi, father doesn't have time to teach you, so mother will teach you, don't forget, mother is also a ninja!"

Mikoto looked at his son, the tenderness in his eyes could wring water out.

Hearing this, Itachi, who was still a little disappointed in the matter, suddenly showed joy and said loudly.

"Really? Thank you, Mother, Itachi likes Mother the most."
