Chapter 58: Tibetan Front Part 1
the next day.
In the morning, Runyu had ordered someone to take the body of the assassin last night to the Hokage Building.
As a result, everyone knew that even if he knew it was Danzo's fault, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely choose to cover it up and put the blame on other ninja villages. It was a very simple matter.
I know it's useless, but I can't find any evidence.
After the meal, Runyu was about to get up and go about his own business. Thanks to the inspiration of the golden card, he recently made something more interesting.
"Runyu, come with me." Uchiha called out to Runyu.
The father and son sat opposite each other in the study. For a while, Runyu couldn't figure out why Uchiha-san was looking for him.
The servant brought piping hot tea, and Runyu picked up the dark gray teacup and poured tea for Uchiha-san and herself.
"What do you think of the Third Hokage?"
"Well."
Runyu paused slightly and gently placed the teapot on the tray.
"Today we are going to do the intimate dad column." Runyu changed the topic. He had many opinions about the three generations, but he didn't know how to explain them.
"Outsiders say you are so smart that you are like a demon, but I know that you are a very kind child who likes to be straightforward. This is very dangerous." Uchiha said with some worry.
He thought that Runyu, a child, had many advantages, and he was proud of Runyu, but Runyu lacked respect for the rules and acted too casually.
"You blatantly contradicted Danzo. I have no problem with that. After all, I don't take Danzo seriously, but Hiruzen Sarutobi is different." Uchiha-san looked a little solemn when he mentioned Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Before opening the Mangekyō Sharingan, he couldn't beat Sarutobi Hiruzen. After opening the Mangekyō Sharingan, the two men never fought.
Runyu was silent and humbly taught, and everything Uchiha-san said was reasonable. Deep down in his heart, he did not agree with the so-called rules, so he had no respect for these rules.
"Do you really think that the second generation chose him just because Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to stay behind?" Uchiha asked.
Runyu remained silent, knowing very little about what happened back then.
"The second generation trained Sarutobi Hiruzen first, and then went through the war. The break was just the final test. He was originally the third generation Hokage chosen by the second generation. But that war brought everything forward."
"Many people now know that Danzo hesitated after the break. That was the news released at the beginning of the third generation's succession in order to damage Danzo's reputation."
Runyu understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the real master of manipulating public opinion, while Danzo was just a sword in his hand. Danzo also understood his identity. He couldn't let go of his power, so he was used by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He even packaged himself as the greatest Hokage, the strongest Hokage in history.
He does not have the fighting power of the first Hokage to suppress the ninja world, nor does he have the tragic power of the second generation to serve as the queen of Konoha's new generation. How can he be worthy of the greatest Hokage?
"If he really wants to deal with you, all he needs to do is lay a charge and then manipulate public opinion." Uchiha-san's face was solemn. "This is why I don't trust you to leave the Uchiha clan."
"Father, I understand."
Uchiha-san's words made Runyu understand a very simple truth. It's not just when you make a mistake that the enemy can add insult to injury. Even if you don't make a mistake, they can also create evidence to kill you.
This is the rule of the game in this world. The colors of black and white are not fixed in the hands of some people. Runyu is in a position that attracts the attention of countless people.
The so-called prudence does not mean that hiding one's strength is enough; one also needs to keep a low profile and bide one's time.
"I will keep a low profile for some time to come."
Uchiha-san laughed happily. As the clan leader, he naturally hoped that his son would shine so brightly that no one in Konoha could ignore him. But as a father, he didn't want to put Runyu in a dangerous situation.
"Sure enough, I'm not cautious enough, I'm too promiscuous." Runyu felt tired for a while. It wasn't that he wasn't low-key enough, but that he was too good.
Medicinal bath, in the final analysis, is just a tiny bit, and just this bit makes other people jealous.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. No matter how chaotic the situation is recently, I can protect you." This is Uchiha-san's confidence and his guarantee to his son as a father.
"I understand."
After Runyu left, Uchiha-san didn't move for a long time. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He filled it up again and drank it all in one gulp.
He knew Runyu's talent and ability, but he could only advise Runyu to keep a low profile. The current Uchiha clan was like walking on a mountain ridge, and one wrong step would lead to eternal disaster.
The annual income of their family alone has exceeded the annual income of Konoha. The Uchiha clan has become a giant beast. However, this giant beast has been surrounded by countless ferocious beasts.
They are always waiting for the command, and then eat this giant beast.
This kind of profit makes countless people jealous. After all, Runyu still doesn't understand the cruelty of this world. He simply thinks that doing business is just about making money and accumulating wealth.
If it doesn't matter just having money, but there is a powerful force behind this person, some people in Konoha will definitely not want the Uchiha clan to become bigger and stronger.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Mito reached a consensus on this point.
For now, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uzumaki Mito, and Uchiha-san represent three interest groups. The first two have united to exclude Uchiha-san from the top management of Konoha.
The Uchiha clan has great strength, but they are always outside the circle of power in Konoha.
At this time, Runyu was carving a huge metal copper pillar with a carving knife. He did not carve out a specific shape, but filled each knife with as much sword energy as possible. He wanted to make a sword energy bomb.
One day in the future, if this copper pillar is thrown into the enemy and detonated, the killing effect will definitely shock the world.
When he had time, he would use a carving knife to add a few marks on the bronze pillars. The extreme accumulation of quantity would definitely lead to qualitative changes.
After noon, Tsunade arrived late. Runyu took Tsunade to see Nonoyu. The test proposed by Tsunade was very simple. It took five days to master the healing technique, but Nonoyu had already mastered the healing technique.
In other words, Tsunade's test is equivalent to non-existence.
In this way, Tsunade began to teach Nonoyu medical ninjutsu, and worked together to develop an enhanced version of medicated bath, but Tsunade did not allow Nonoyu to call her master, and Tsunade was also concerned about her stance.
Runyu pondered.
She is the princess of the Senju, and the hatred between the Senju and the Uchiha has lasted for thousands of years, and it cannot be completely resolved in a moment or with the efforts of a few people.
Back then, only when the first generation was still alive could they suppress the Senju clan and not target Uchiha. The Uchiha clan chose to pretend to be their grandson while the first generation was still alive.
This is definitely not a coward, strategically preserving our strength and waiting for opportunities to rise in the future.
In the end, the Uchiha clan waited. The first generation passed away and the second generation died in battle. This is the era when the Uchiha clan is closest to the position of Hokage.
It was an era when the Sannin had not yet become famous, the white teeth had not yet bloomed, and the golden flash had not yet made the shinobi world fearful.
However, apart from Uchiha, they don't have any supporters.
