Konoha I, Uchiha, lie flat!

Chapter 224 Sarutobi Arashi is humble and fearful, Nara Shikaku visits

Sarutobi clan land, deep in the core.

Here stands a mansion that occupies a huge area and is full of buildings, pavilions, rockeries and lakes.

Luxurious, low-key, like heaven on earth.

This is Sarutobi Hiruzen's home, and it is also the result of his hard work for so long after becoming Hokage.

Near the lake, there is a teahouse.

This is also where Sarutobi Hiruzen relaxes, receives guests, and conducts official business.

"Lan, thank you for your hard work."

"Shisui and Uchiha, how are the arrangements going now?"

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, his tone was flat.

His face was very cold, with infinite majesty.

He glanced indifferently at the reserved member of the clan who was sitting opposite him, took a sip of tea and then asked casually.

Yes.

In the eyes of outsiders, this Hokage is very kind.

Only, within.

Only when facing these real people of his own will he truly restore his true colors.

Sarutobi Arashi, his nephew.

He is also the junior he is most satisfied with, and can be regarded as a key training personnel in a true sense.

only.

Instead of making him a registered ninja in the village, he was made responsible for a lot of things in the clan.

As for strength.

Sarutobi Arashi is already an Elite Jōnin, and even for a short period of time, he could barely compete with Kage-level experts.

Although 453 may not be able to defeat it, there is no problem in escaping.

Considered the elite of the Sarutobi clan!

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen's training for him is more inclined to make him a big butler, responsible for managing a large stall at home, and secretly commanding the secret ninja force of the Sarutobi clan.

But the real power is something you can't even think about.

In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he can only leave it to his biological children.

That is, Sarutobi Shinnosuke!

Although his eldest son is slightly inferior to Sarutobi Lan in terms of strength and planning.

But, it doesn’t matter!

He believed that under his own plan, his son Sarutobi Shinnosuke would be able to take control of the power in the village sooner or later.

Even if Sarutobi Arashi wants to cause trouble, Shinnosuke can easily suppress it.

Yes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already thought about his precious son.

Now Captain Anbu, after cultivating his confidants and completely controlling Anbu, he will directly make him an elder after he has made some achievements.

Then.

Let him serve as the principal of the Ninja School for a few years as an elder, and be responsible for the finances.

Relying on the principal of the ninja school to train younger generations and expand his influence in the village, while relying on the village's finances to win over the major ninja clans. (cecg)

After Nara Shikaku retires, Shinnosuke becomes the squad leader.

Now, the time is ripe.

As long as you can reach this height, and with your own support, is it still difficult to reach the Hokage?

Namikaze Minato?

It's just a puppet, a chess piece used to delay Shinnosuke's growth.

That's all!

This was also the fundamental reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen knew in his heart that Sarutobi Lan had some resentment towards him, but still dared to delegate power to him.

He is not afraid.

Since I dare to promote you, I will definitely kill you.

Even if you are reluctant, you must give my son Shinnosuke a lifetime of stewardship.

after all.

You are just a person who doesn't even have the identity of a ninja, and you have barely communicated with outsiders in these years.

Within the Sarutobi clan, you are a unique figure.

If you really leave the Sarutobi clan, will others know who you are?

Just like Danzo.

Since you have chosen to bury your roots deep in the ground, you will never be able to emerge again in this life.

Sarutobi Arashi, too.

No matter how powerful he is, he can only be Shinnosuke's shadow and assistant.

"Reply, Lord Patriarch." Sarutobi Lan, with a respectful face: "Everything has been arranged.

"The place arranged for these Uchiha is close to the left wing of the Death Forest. Even if there is an emergency, they can block the Sarutobi clan's sword.

"Those Uchiha have pretty good temperaments, so I don't have any objections."

“Isn’t the allocation of 200 million yuan a bit too much?”

Even though he was sitting, he still bowed slightly.

Yes.

Facing the patriarch of his family, he did not dare to neglect him at all.

Even though he had taken control of the Sarutobi clan, when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he still couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The reason is very simple.

It is precisely because he is in power that he has more contact with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Therefore, he is naturally more aware of the ruthless methods of his clan leader.

so.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not have any other thoughts until Sarutobi Hiruzen died.

For the sake of the clan wholeheartedly, he will implement Sarutobi Hiruzen's requirements without hesitation.

This is his way of survival!

"Well, very good." Sarutobi Hiruzen said quietly: "It's just money, Sarutobi is not short of it."

"Twenty million in exchange for Mangekyō's allegiance. This deal is worth it in my opinion."

"However, these Uchiha must be monitored secretly within the clan. If anything goes wrong, come and report to me immediately. w

"The work of comforting and brainwashing must be carried out over a long period of time."

"We must guarantee the absolute loyalty of these Uchiha to my Sarutobi clan."

"Go down."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand.

Sarutobi Lan bowed slightly and then exited the room.

After he left, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, showing a hint of pain.

Yes.

That’s a full 200 million!

Although the Sarutobi family has a lot of money, he would be lying if he said he didn't feel distressed after spending so much money at once.

But, no way!

In order to buy horse bones for thousands of gold, this money must be paid.

And just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was sighing and drinking tea leisurely, Sarutobi Lan walked in again.

"Lord Patriarch."

"Nara Shikaku Jōnin, requesting an audience outside!"

Um?!

Nara Shikaku?

My military advisor is back?

This is a good thing, so I immediately said without hesitation: "Please!"

"Yes!" Sarutobi Lan bowed and exited.

Probably, in two minutes.

Nara Shikaku walked in dusty, and bowed immediately when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Hokage!"

"I'm sorry for visiting late at night, because my transfer order was urgent and I was afraid something might have happened.

"I hope Hokage-sama will forgive me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a smile on his face.

He regained his kind and kind expression, and while saying that he was not surprised, he asked Nara to sit down, and then personally made him a cup of tea.

After the two chatted for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to seriousness.

After briefly introducing what happened in the village in the past two days, I couldn't help but start to puritanism.

Shikaku, what do you think?"

"Too many things have happened in the past two days, and my mind is still in a mess.

"I still have to trouble you to think about things like this."

"Those things that have passed, we can talk about it slowly later, but this is Uchiha Shisui.

"How should I arrange for him?"
