Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 274 Konoha Changes Course! Hatake Sakumo Regains His Motivation!

The meeting is over!

The new tone for Konoha's future has been set.

Ninja tools and secret techniques!

The trend of the times is irreversible, and the direction of the commoner ninjas is unchangeable.

Hiashi Hyuga rushed home to take care of his seriously ill father and inquire about the future of the Hyuga clan.

"Father, what do you think of the solution of taking sides between the two families?"

Hiashi Hyuga shared his thoughts with Shingo Hyuga.

Hinata Masaki remained silent, her face consistently cold.

It's unclear whether it's an illness or just fear.

"Cough cough cough, did you come up with this method yourself, or did someone tell you about it?" Hinata Shinso asked with tears in her eyes, clinging to her last hope.

Hiashi Hyuga confidently declared, "Of course, I came up with it myself!"

"Foolish!" Hinata Masaki shouted, "Cough cough cough!"

"Father!" Hiashi Hyuga hurriedly patted his father's back, slowly helping him catch his breath.

"I don't understand why you would have such a naive idea. Hiashi Hyuga! Who can you outmaneuver with your little tricks? Hiruzen Sarutobi? Tsunade Senju? Or Yuuki Uchiha?"

"Who can the Hyuga clan compare to? The Senju clan, which produced two Hokage? The Uchiha clan, which produced the Shura of the Shinobi World? Or the Sarutobi clan, with the Third Hokage in power?"

“Father…” Hiashi Hyuga was a little embarrassed and was about to retort when he realized that no one is born good at fighting.

"Power is just icing on the cake! Schemes are like driftwood without roots! They're all empty!" Hinata Shinso said, "The individual is the key!"

"Tsunade revived the declining Senju clan, and the clan is now thriving!"

Uchiha Yuuki reversed the Uchiha clan's reputation, and the common people trembled at the mere mention of the police department!

The Third Hokage skillfully navigated the political landscape, and despite facing a barrage of opposition after inheriting the position, he managed to become the strongest Hokage!

And you? Besides taking advantage of your position as the young clan leader of the Hyuga clan, what other great achievements have you made?

"What can you do without the Hyuga clan? What are you anyway?!"

Hiashi Hyuga was taken aback.

All his achievements are entirely dependent on the support of his family!

As for breaking free from family influence and achieving great things?

Difficult, extremely difficult!

"The most crucial question! Tsunade Senju, Yuuki Uchiha, Sakumo Hatake, and Orochimaru all have the potential to become the Fourth Hokage if they run for the position. What about you?"

"There is absolutely no possibility of him becoming Hokage!"

Hyuga Shinsho stared directly at Hyuga Hiashi and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Now, do you still think you have the ability to sway which side you choose?"

Hiashi Hyuga bowed his head in dejection.

He quickly adjusted his mindset and looked back at Hinata Shinsho with a sharp glint in his eyes.

If a successor nurtured for so many years were to wallow in self-pity over a few words, then that person would be utterly useless.

"Father, what should I do? What should the Hyuga clan do?"

"Let's wait and see. If necessary, we'll use the name of reform to sacrifice a few elders of the main family!" Hyuga Shinsho's face revealed a fierce glint.

The matriarch of the Zong family was being impolite.

Taking advantage of the old patriarch's serious illness, they completely disregarded the young patriarch!

We must strike hard!

"Sacrifice the elders?"

Hinata Shinsho formed several hand seals, his eyes shifting from fierce to incredibly complex: "This is a secret passed down orally only by the clan leaders of each generation!"

He whispered something in Hiashi Hyuga's ear.

After hearing this secret, Hiashi Hyuga's eyes gradually turned to horror and shock!

The father and son stared at each other in silence until dawn.

.......

Sakumo Hatake fiddled with several scrolls.

Hokage's orders?

Sorry, I'll obey orders, not orders!

A question suddenly popped into Sakumo Hatake's mind!

Where does the sacredness of Naruto come from?

Why did he obey the Hokage's orders?

Because of blood ties?

The Third Hokage's surname isn't Senju!

Because of ideals?

His Will of Fire differed greatly from that of the Third Generation.

Even the Third Generation's Will of Fire itself has significant flaws.

In this situation, ideals cannot serve as a bridge for communication between the two.

"So, I can completely disobey the Hokage's orders?!"

As for the partners who are reforming together?

Sakumo Hatake led the daily training and carried out reforms, and the two sides formed a close relationship and a sense of subordination.

He possessed considerable personal charisma; as Konoha's number one ninja and a hero on two battlefields, he earned the respect of many ninjas.

The head of the secret service also serves as the leader of the education system, and he enjoys almost complete partial power over personnel appointments and dismissals, as well as economic power.

Because the money is obtained directly from the person who commissioned the task.

This portion of the property is not easily seized by the Hokage unless the two parties turn against each other.

"So, you're saying I have absolutely no reason to be afraid of the Hokage?"

Sakumo Hatake didn't know whether his latest thinking was right or wrong.

But don't be afraid!

Taking the wrong path is not terrible; at worst, you can just walk to the end of the road and start over!

What we fear is mistaking the right path for the wrong one and rejecting it outright!

This is the real danger!

"Pass on my orders!" Sakumo Hatake shouted to the ninja guarding the door.

"All ninjas in the village, assemble!"

"I need to assign tasks!"

Rather than shrinking our battle lines and showing weakness to the enemy, we should go all out!

After Sakumo Hatake issued his order, all the ninjas in the education system and some of the ANBU ninjas got busy.

The story concerning the Second Generation and the Shadow Guard is spreading more and more intensely in the streets and alleys.

To dispel rumors that Sakumo Hatake's mission was going badly!

Meanwhile, a large number of Sakumo Hatake's most trusted confidants received orders to go out on missions and were continuously moving towards a small town in the southern part of the Land of Fire.

Sakumo Hatake gave several public speeches at the Medical Association.

Simply reforming education won't save Konoha!

Konoha is sick. It doesn't need a few good doctors, it needs a true thinker!

Leading people out of their predicament.

The smug Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon hearing of Sakumo Hatake's actions, felt a sense of foreboding.

Oh no, this sharp white tooth is completely ruined!
