Chapter 12 The real obstacle is the hands!
Chapter 12 The real obstacle is Qianshou!
"You want to become Hokage, the biggest obstacle is the ninja clan of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan is the first to bear the brunt of it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. The news of the death of his teacher Senju Tobirama was leaked by the Uchiha. He believed that Uchiha Kagami was not the one who leaked the news, which meant that the Uchiha had their own news channels.
It is even possible that Lord Tobirama knew in advance that he would be attacked during this negotiation.
The Uchiha clan has never concealed their desire for the position of Hokage. Even during the period when Tobirama Senju was Hokage, there were still violent talks within the Uchiha clan to overthrow Tobirama Senju's rule.
However, such people would always die reasonably in a mission or a war, and the Uchiha clan could not find any flaws to prove that their deaths were related to Senju Tobirama.
The deaths of several extremists made Uchiha feel sad and calmed down a lot.
Moreover, Senju Tobirama was fair in his dealings and did not reduce any of the benefits that should have been allocated to the Uchiha clans. The other ninja clans in Konoha have thrived in Konoha over the years and fully recognized Senju Tobirama as the Hokage.
It's a pity that teacher Tobirama died unexpectedly during the negotiations, which gave Uchiha a great opportunity to get his hands on the position of Hokage of Konoha.
"I have confidence in the Uchiha clan. They have always been the same. They obey whoever has the bigger fist. Back then, Hashirama defeated Madara, and Madara eventually left Konoha, but the Uchiha clan did not leave with Madara."
"And now no one in Konoha Uchiha is my opponent, unless they are crazy and send out the elites of the clan at all costs, maybe they can kill me."
"But they don't have the guts!"
Uzumaki Mito changed the subject, her tone full of confidence. At present, no one in Konoha can be her opponent. Uzumaki Mito, who is extremely powerful in herself, with the Nine-Tails in her body, is now a walking disaster.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uzumaki Mito's confident appearance and felt his heart moved. He felt the charm of the older generation of strong men.
He had just experienced Uzumaki Mito's strength, it was so powerful that it was suffocating.
"Uchiha, I do have a way to solve this problem. The Uchiha isn't the only family standing in your way of becoming Hokage."
"The Senju clan wouldn't want you to become Hokage."
Uzumaki Mito sighed. The real crisis did not come from the Uchiha outside, but from his own family, the Senju.
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes wide, thinking that Uzumaki Mito supported him, and subconsciously regarded the Senju clan as his own people.
"You don't think I can represent the Senju clan."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression and spoke slowly.
"Normally, my status allows me to bully the Senju clan, and even Tobirama has to give me face. But now Tobirama is dead, and the position you are competing for is the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha."
"There are already two Hokage who came from the Senju. The Senju enjoy this honor and are used to the benefits that the Hokage brings. They have even seen it as a foregone conclusion that the third generation Hokage will also come from the Senju."
Uzumaki Mito spoke slowly, giving Sarutobi Hiruzen time to digest the conversation.
How to convince the Senju clan to accept Sarutobi Hiruzen is Uzumaki Mito's biggest headache.
The Senju clan founded Konoha, and two Hokage came from the Senju clan. They also died in the position of Hokage. This is a huge reputation.
Not only that, in the First Ninja World War, in Konoha, the Senju clan contributed the most, because their clan leader was the Hokage of Konoha, and the most dangerous positions were often dominated by the Senju clan members.
The Senju members are also willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Konoha. Almost the entire Senju clan believes that the third generation Hokage will still be a Senju. Extreme Senju members even believe that their Senju clan is Konoha!
Now the war is almost over and the fruits of victory are about to be reaped. The blood of the Senju clan is almost drained, leaving the Sarutobi clan, who followed behind and picked up the food, to reap the benefits.
Uzumaki Mito couldn't even imagine how much resentment this must have. The old people of the Senju family who survived the Warring States period are still alive. They all regard the future of the family as more important than their own lives.
They are older than Hashirama, and some are even two or three generations older than Hashirama. They have dedicated their entire lives to the Senju clan. Even if they slap Hashirama in the face, Hashirama still has to happily persuade them.
Grandpa, I’m afraid it hurts your hand, but I won’t do it again next time.
Uzumaki Mito could imagine how furious they would be when she told them that Tobirama would pass the position of the Sandaime Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
I guess even if Tobirama were alive, he would scold him like a piece of shit, not to mention himself.
With just one sentence, you, a Uzumaki guy, have no right to discuss Senju's family affairs, and you can choke yourself to death.
This group of desperate old men dare to say all kinds of nonsense. Even if I have unparalleled fighting power, I can't do anything to them.
Not to mention that these old guys are no longer afraid of death. They can stretch their necks and let Uzumaki Mito chop them. As long as you can guarantee that the Third Hokage is still from the Senju family, they are willing to die.
"Mito-sama, this...,"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless. The Senju clan opposed it, and he had no choice. What could he do to his teacher's family?
It's impossible to win the fight, and it's even more untenable morally.
"The group of elders in the Senju clan have already identified the candidate for the position of the Sandaime Hokage, and that is Senju Momorama."
"He is the son of Hashirama, and he is also a leader in the Senju clan. He made outstanding achievements in this ninja war. As the commander of a front, he withstood the pressure from the Iwakage Village."
"We're heading towards Konoha now, and we'll be back in the village soon."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and examined him. Uzumaki Mito could help him share the pressure from the Uchiha clan, but she had no way to deal with the pressure from the Senju clan.
Being able to not help either side was already the limit, not to mention that Momorama Senju was his own son, who had taken his father Hashirama as his role model since he was a child and dreamed of becoming a Hokage and protecting Konoha.
She, Uzumaki Mito, is not so selfless as to help outsiders beat her son.
"If you want to become Hokage, you must defeat Momoka. Defeat him fairly in front of the Senju clan. Then I will have a chance to help you convince the Senju clan."
Uzumaki Mito continued to say that this was the limit of what she could do. She saw how much Momorama had paid in order to become Hokage.
Alas, Tobirama, you bastard, you are even more of a bastard than Hashirama, you really know how to give me problems.
Uzumaki Mito was conflicted and wanted to pull Senju Tobirama out of the underworld and beat him up.
"Mito-sama, I understand. You have done enough."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of gratitude. Uzumaki Mito had been selfless enough. Senju Momorama was her son. She had deliberately avoided this identity just now. Lord Mito had been fair enough.
