[Bah! The authority of the Hokage is supreme, and the only one who is limited is you, Sarutobi Hiruzen! ]

[As long as I become Hokage, this situation will not happen, and Konoha Village will become the strongest ninja village! ]

[Teacher Tobirama was really blind back then. I just hesitated for a moment, but he let Sarutobi Hiruzen, a wimp, be the Hokage. ]

[Not choosing me to be the Hokage was the biggest mistake the teacher made in his life. 】

Of course you have to complain, but you also have to follow the orders of the Third Hokage, even if you don't understand them.

Danzo Shimura was dismissed from his post and asked to reflect on his actions, but this was only in name. He rarely saw people and spent his days underground tinkering with some inexplicable things.

Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were speechless when they saw such punishment. The three of them were the direct disciples of the Third Hokage, and their feelings for Sarutobi Hiruzen prevented them from saying bad words.

But it's different for Kato Dan and Nawaki. Their relationship with the Third Hokage is just that of superiors and subordinates, and they are victims themselves, so naturally they can't control their anger.

Rope Tree was the first to curse: "Damn you Sarutobi Hiruzen, so the price of my death is dismissal and reflection? A fake dismissal and reflection?"

No matter how good-tempered Kato Dan was, he couldn't help but say sinisterly, "Shengshu, this is because we are not dead and have found evidence of the root, so we can deal with it like this."

"I can't help but wonder, what if I die? What if there is no evidence? Will the Third Hokage give Shimura Danzo a promotion and a raise?"

He slammed the table hard: "Done, if you hesitate, I will do it myself!"

Sheng Shu suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Duan, I'm with you. I won't give up until Shimura Danzo is dead this time!"

Seeing her lover and brother make the decision, Tsunade slammed the table and said, "Done! I will make sure Danzo is dead!"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya unhurriedly: "How is it, do you still have hope for Sarutobi-sensei?"

Jiraiya sighed, "Sarutobi-sensei really disappoints me. Where is his spirit of fire? Where is his resolute responsibility to protect the ninjas of Konoha?"

"It seems that the teacher is really old and it's time for him to step down."

Orochimaru was surprised and said, "Jiraiya, you changed your position so quickly. Are you determined to get the teacher out of office?"

Jiraiya said helplessly: "Teacher actually made such a shameful decision. If he continues to do this, his reputation will be ruined. For the sake of his reputation, I have to make this decision."

Orochimaru chuckled: "Since everyone agrees, let's take action. In seven days, we will gather in front of the Hokage Building in Konoha Village..."

"Force the emperor to abdicate!"

"good!"

…

The fierce Tsunade stretched to make herself even more ferocious, and then lazily sighed: "Really, it took nine days to make the final decision, it really made me anxious."

"I can't believe I was so slow when I was young. How come I didn't feel that at all when I was a kid?"

Tsunade stood up and formed the Shin Seal with both hands: "Now that the main people have taken action, it's time for me, the assisting person behind the scenes, to take action as well."

With a "bang", Tsunade turned into a ball of white smoke and disappeared.

Far away in a secret room in Konoha Village, Tsunade opened her eyes while holding a wine glass and enjoying the aroma of wine but refusing to drink a sip.

She threw away the wine glass, pushed open the door of the secret room, and said to the old men waiting outside: "The young me will be back soon, let's start."

The elders looked at each other, bowed their heads and said, "As you command, Master Tsunade."

In the 37 years of Konoha, the Third Hokage has been on the throne for more than 15 years. Even if we count from the time he defeated the old guard and truly took power, it has been more than 10 years.

He already had a deep control over Konoha Village, but this time he didn't even notice the turbulent undercurrent.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Shimura Danzo was very true. Among the new generation of Konoha ninjas, why were Orochimaru, Kato Dan and the other six the first to come to the fore?

Hatake Sakumo is really strong, so strong that no one in the younger generation can compare with him.

Orochimaru's abilities are truly comprehensive. His personal strength, scientific research ability, ninjutsu development, military command, personnel management, and logistics management are all outstanding.

Not only does he have the strongest overall strength, but he also got involved in the specific affairs of Konoha Village early on, and has impressed countless people in his work.

Among the Konoha ninjas under the age of 30, the vast majority believe that Orochimaru is the Fourth Hokage.

Jiraiya was originally nothing, but by luck he was connected with the holy land of Myoboku Mountain and had a solid and powerful backing.

He has a carefree and informal personality. Not only is he powerful, he also has good command skills and is even better as a teacher. No matter who asks him for advice, he is willing to answer their questions seriously without any prejudice.

Among the young Konoha ninjas, the few who don't like Orochimaru absolutely love Jiraiya very much.

Tsunade’s background is amazing. The first Hokage is her grandfather, the second Hokage is her second grandfather, and the third Hokage is her teacher.

Judging from this order, the most crucial factor when Senju Tobirama chose Sarutobi Hiruzen to be the Third Hokage might be because he was Tsunade's teacher.

The entire Senju clan was disbanded and integrated into the civilian population of Konoha Village, but they still had feelings and identification with Tsunade.

Moreover, although the core ninjas of the first and second Hokage periods have passed their prime, their influence is completely unimaginable.

If Orochimaru and Jiraiya represent the younger generation, then Tsunade's influence is comprehensive and has no blind spots.

Kato Dan's background is also unusual. His surname is far from being as casual as Namikaze or Shiranui, but rather a noble surname with a long heritage.

Kato Dan represents a group of people who are a combination of Fire Country nobles and ninjas. This group of ninjas is not large in number and their strength is not outstanding, but their relationships with the daimyo are complicated and their influence is huge.

Moreover, these ninjas who come from aristocratic families are very rich!

The power of money has a terrifying effect in any wealthy world.

As for Nawaki, he is temporarily Tsunade's appendage, but he is the real banner of the Senju clan.

The particularly "ferocious" Tsunade was able to convince the Senju clan to reunite, and the core was not herself, but Nawaki, who was not yet an adult and had no ability to be independent.

This guy seems to have no influence, but his status is equivalent to that of a prince. Having and not having are two completely different concepts.

In short, these five young ninjas joined forces and to a certain extent sidelined the Third Hokage, leaving him completely unaware of the impending tsunami.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen "punished" Danzo Shimura, Konoha Village spent seven peaceful days.

Tsunade did not run back to the village regardless of the consequences. Instead, she rushed into the Hokage's office, grabbed his beard and cursed at him.

Orochimaru did not submit another report, protesting with fiery writing.

In the report of the Anbu ninja, even Jiraiya did not speak wildly or say anything that he should not have said.

As for Kato Dan, he had no weight in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and he didn't even have any designated Anbu ninjas to monitor him.

In the impression of the Third Hokage, apart from showing some bravery when pursuing Tsunade, Kato Dan was just a weakling without much of his own opinion.

He thought that his statement had completely appeased Orochimaru, Tsunade, Kato Dan and Nawaki, but he didn't know that the Anbu ninjas, whom he regarded as their lives, also ignored his orders and passed on false information to him.

The Anbu ninjas are strictly disciplined, fight in the dark, have blood on their hands, and are carefully selected elite ninjas.

But the Anbu ninjas are Konoha ninjas after all. They have their own values ​​and judgment, and are not puppet warriors like the Root ninjas.

When the Third Hokage acts unfairly, the Anbu ninja will have some thoughts.

But usually, they would bury these thoughts deep in their hearts, reduce their admiration for the Third Hokage, and would not take any action, let alone disobey orders.

But this is not the usual situation. The leading ninjas of the younger generation have joined forces to resist the injustice of the Third Hokage. Naturally, the Anbu ninjas have some deviations according to their own ideas.

It's not that the Anbu ninjas failed to monitor Orochimaru and the others as ordered, but that they were not capable enough to see through the Shadow Clone Technique they performed.

This was not direct disobedience, but a momentary mistake.

With the joint assistance of Anbu ninja, civilian ninja, noble ninja, and ninja clan ninja, Orochimaru returned to Konoha Village with his classmates, disciples, friends, and subordinates.

The Root Ninjas are known as the elite among the Anbu Ninjas, and are more powerful than the Anbu Ninjas. In fact, this is just Danzo's bragging.

He simply had the power to use the resources of the Anbu, steal the Anbu's intelligence and human resources, and have the Root ninjas deliver the final blow at the cost of their lives.

Moreover, the Root Ninjas were trained to be death soldiers, and would often resort to tactics of mutual destruction. Their mission completion rate was extremely high, but the probability of dying in a mission was even higher.

Under Danzo's control, the Root developed into a huge organization that needed to be managed by non-brainwashed ninjas, who were ninjas who identified with Danzo.

In Shimura Danzo's propaganda, the high success rate and high mortality rate of the Root Ninjas combined together became the best proof of their loyalty to Konoha Village.

The logic is the same as that of some Apple fans. The Apple army fought against the most enemies and sacrificed the most soldiers and generals, so the Apple army made the greatest contribution.

As for how many of the soldiers who died were conscripted and escorted to the army, Apple fans don’t care.

As for how many of the sacrificed generals were generals of local factions who were killed, Apple fans don’t care.

When the Anbu ninjas refused to cooperate, the self-proclaimed omnipotent Root became blind. They did not even notice that there were hundreds of ninjas in the village who should not have returned.

These are not just a few people, but hundreds of ninjas who have returned from the front lines.

Such a big change happened right under their noses, but the roots were completely unaware of it, acting like they were completely blind and deaf.

The one who discovered the problem from the beginning was actually the gatekeeper of Konoha Village, followed by the security department controlled by the Uchiha clan, and then the ninjas of the Hyuga clan and the Aburame clan.

Finally, the Inuzuka clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan and other ninja clans also knew about it, but before they could react, the joint visit of the three ninjas of Konoha and Kato Dan made them make a decision.

Everyone has a grudge against Danzo Shimura. Under the leadership of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, the ninja clan made a unanimous decision: Danzo Shimura must die!

This time the Third Hokage dares to protect Danzo, so let’s get rid of the Third Hokage as well.

The "evil" Tsunade was looking at the changes in the village, and she was completely confused. She had never thought that her teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen's power base was so fragile after being the Hokage for nearly 20 years.

She murmured: "It's incredible, how could the Third Hokage be so fragile?"

[Host, this is the purpose of the rope tree surviving, and it is also a matter of timing. ]

"I know the impact of Rope Tree surviving, but what is the timing issue?"

[Based on the information I have collected, the Third Hokage began to suppress the Senju clan ten years ago in order to gain benefits for the Sarutobi clan.]

[Today, the patience of the Senju clan has reached its limit, and because of the relationship between Nawaki and the host, they have united and started a strong resistance. ]

[Similarly, the Sarutobi clan, which had acquired a large amount of resources, had just begun to develop vigorously, and was still in the ten-year stage of accumulation, and it was still ten years away from true prosperity. ]

During these five years, Tsunade received systematic cultural education and was able to understand the meaning of the compressed package "Ten years of accumulation and ten years of learning".

She nodded and said with emotion, "That is to say, Sarutobi Sensei, who has been in Konoha for 37 years, has offended all the ninja clans in Konoha, but his own family cannot provide strong support, so his power base is at its weakest."

[The host's summary is very accurate, but the premise is that Rope Tree survives and the power of the Senju clan can be consolidated. ]

[If Rope Tree dies, the host will not be able to unite the Senju clan. Although the Third Hokage's family is not strong enough, the Senju clan is even more loose and weak, and there is no danger. ]

[At most, it is the inability to do anything about foreign wars. ]

Tsunade sighed, "I see. What should I do next?"

[What the host needs to do now is to go to the Uchiha clan. ]

"Huh? The Uchiha clan? What does this have to do with them?"

Tsunade couldn't understand it at all: "As far as I know, although the Senju clan was suppressed very badly, it can't be compared with the Uchiha clan. Could it be that the Uchiha Yuu clan can stand against us and support the Third Hokage?"

[Host, your understanding of the Uchiha clan is wrong. They are the most loving clan, but also the easiest to be deceived.]

[According to my calculations, as long as the Third Hokage swallows his pride, goes to the Uchiha clan to admit his mistakes, and accepts an Uchiha child as a disciple on the spot, there is a 98.6% chance that the Uchiha clan will choose to support the Third Hokage.]

Tsunade was stunned: "I just can't accept it, is this really possible?"

[Host, please trust the judgment of this system. 】

Tsunade rubbed her head and said, "Well, compared to my feeling, your system's analysis is more accurate. I'll listen to you and I'll go to the Uchiha clan."

"This is really troublesome. The Uchiha clan is now in disarray, and there is not even a leader."

[The system stores detailed information about the Uchiha clan. The host can persuade them one by one according to the order of the list.]

[This is a strategy written by the creator of this system. It has a success rate of 99% and is a proven, reliable persuasion plan.]

Tsunade was amused: "Uchiha Yuu actually made such a serious plan to attack his own family. It really made me laugh to death."

[I cannot understand the host. The creator of this system is a member of the lower class of the Uchiha clan. If you want to control the Uchiha clan, you must plan a careful attack plan.]

[The host's current situation is very similar to when the creator made the plan, and it can be completely traced back to the original plan. ]

Tsunade was pushed back by the system and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, I know, I know."

"I admire Uchiha Yuu's brain. In just a few years, he overthrew my teacher and Uchiha Fugaku, and helped Orochimaru become the Fourth Hokage. His brain is really amazing."

Tsunade recalled what happened when she first met the Edo Tensei Senju Tobirama, and said with emotion: "Even my second grandfather admires Uchiha Yu's brain very much. I believe he must be right."

The arrival of the evil Tsunade surprised the Uchiha clan, and everyone thought of conspiracy at the first moment.

But Uchiha Yu's strategy was no joke. Tsunade followed the order and words in the plan and first conquered Uchiha Yuichiro and Uchiha Ryunosuke.

These two are from a neutral faction within the Uchiha clan, but they are the most sensible ones and the easiest to find a way out.

With the help of these two, Tsunade persuaded the two dovish elders, Uchiha Yumi and Uchiha Tsunekazu, without much effort.

Even Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Shiho, the hawkish members of the Uchiha clan, were persuaded by Tsunade's planned rhetoric to stand on her side.

When everything was settled, Tsunade felt that it was unreal.

It was incredible that she, Tsunade, a ninja from the Senju clan, could deal with the six major factions of the Uchiha clan with her mouth.

You have to know that it is clearly written in the plan that the hawkish Uchiha Setsuna is a bad seed and can only be eliminated as an enemy, while Uchiha Shifang is a stubborn person and can only be persuaded by hypnosis.

At the same time, Uchiha You sighed in his plan that the reason he couldn't convince Setsuna and Shifang was that he was from the lower class of the Uchiha clan, which made it difficult for these two guys to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.

Instead, the leaders of the Senju clan, such as Tobirama Senju or Tsunade, have the opportunity to convince Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Shifang.

Because in the eyes of these two guys, Tobirama and Tsunade's status is higher than theirs, so they are willing to listen to them carefully and their psychological expectations are not high.

Tsunade really did what she was told with half belief and half doubt, and actually succeeded in persuading the people. The price she paid was that in the next ten years, Orochimaru or Jiraiya would have to accept an Uchiha child as their disciple.

Apart from this, all the Uchiha elders made no demands regarding power, position or money.

Tsunade, who observed the Uchiha clan carefully for the first time, discovered that these seemingly tough Uchiha elders actually had such clear eyes.

Clarity cannot conceal the stupidity in one's heart.

When Tsunade left the Uchiha clan's territory, she actually felt very embarrassed. She even wondered if she was too bullying.

What's the difference between her agreeing to Uchiha's conditions and picking it up for free?
