The Third Hokage's insistence on his own way would of course cause serious dissatisfaction.

Senju Tobirama guessed that it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's chaos that brought together the consensus of the Konoha ninjas and led to the launch of the "Konoha Collapse Plan".

Since the third generation pretends not to understand our warnings, then we will send you to death.

So, in the most exciting final of the exam, no ninja clan leader was present. Jiraiya was in the village, but he ran to the wall to bully the soldiers.

The only one who wanted to rescue, Might Guy, was also stopped by Hatake Kakashi. He said:

"Hokage-sama is not that easy to be killed..."

"Because he is the...Hokage of our Konohagakure!"

In the opinion of Senju Tobirama, what Kakashi Hatake said when he stopped Emperor Kai from rescuing the Third Hokage was not simple.

On the surface, Kakashi had absolute trust in the Third Hokage's ability, but what about the situation at the time?

Because of the barrier, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru had a one-on-one duel between master and disciple. Between the 69-year-old master and the 50-year-old disciple at his peak stage, isn't it obvious who has the advantage?

So, the Third Hokage died, and Orochimaru, whose hands were broken, ran away. Apart from a few incompetent Anbu ninjas, there was not even a Jonin-level Konoha ninja to chase him.

Afterwards, Orochimaru did not suffer any revenge from Konoha Village, as the Konoha ninjas' attention was all focused on selecting the Fifth Hokage.

Even though Orochimaru kidnapped Uchiha Sasuke again, the Konoha Village led by the Fifth Hokage Tsunade still did not organize a strong hunting team, allowing Orochimaru to go free.

After the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, life became difficult for Asuma Sarutobi.

Without the special protection and arrangements of the Hokage, Asuma directly ran into Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame. If it weren't for Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy to save the situation, he and Hong would have been killed on the spot.

Ultimately, Asuma Sarutobi is not strong enough. No matter how powerful he was promoted before, it cannot change the fact that he is just an ordinary jonin.

Before the Fourth Shinobi World War, because no other ninja was willing to exchange his life for information, Asuma Sarutobi was killed by Hidan of the Akatsuki organization in exchange for information for his disciple Nara Shikamaru.

The death of Asuma Sarutobi represents the decline of the Sarutobi clan, and Konoha Village has completely gotten rid of the shadow of Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule.

Senju Tobirama glanced at Uchiha Yu and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Konoha Village is lucky. No matter which ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen's problem has been solved."

Uchiha You: "Well, Konoha Village is indeed very lucky. Whenever it is in danger, there will always be ninjas who stand up and save it at the risk of their lives."

Senju Tobirama sighed for a while, and suddenly turned his gaze to Uchiha You and said: "Speaking of which, the Uchiha clan are all very simple idiots, why did they give birth to a freak like you."

Before Uchiha You could say anything, Miwa Masayo was furious: "What do you mean by freak, meow? You is the best ninja, the best chef, and the most powerful immortal!"

The little loli waved her two hands with sharp nails and threatened: "Second Hokage, if you are rude to You again, I will beat you up, meow!"

The little loli is not tall, and her white and tender fists are not big, but they are filled with high-intensity natural energy. In the eyes of Tobirama Senju, who can feel natural energy, they are still very threatening.

Of course, it's also very cute.

And the important thing is, how could Senju Tobirama argue with this six-year-old immortal over such a trivial matter as the choice of words.

It's really shameful and cheap to do this.

Under the "pressure" of the little loli with long black hair, Senju Tobirama's poker face broke for the third time.

He forced out a stiff smile very unskillfully and apologized to Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu, in return for a sweet smile from Miwa Masayo.

Uchiha You held the little loli in his arms and said with a smile: "What the second generation said is indeed true."

"My foolish people, some of them are cold, some are proud, some are unkind, some are shallow and irritable, but their hearts are full of love, and their eyes are full of clear... stupidity."

"And I am indeed different from others, with my insight into worldly affairs, wisdom and steadiness."

Senju Tobirama nodded repeatedly, while secretly complaining in his heart.

[What do you mean by being insightful, wise, and steady? Isn't it just being worldly-wise, cunning, and forbearing? ]

[If you put it another way, it won’t have that flavor. ]

All his complaints were heard by Uchiha You through the Thunder Spirit Heart Network, and he unknowingly planted a huge bomb for himself.

Senju Tobirama was unaware of the leakage of his inner monologue and allowed all sorts of random thoughts to come and go. Suddenly, an old thought popped up.

He couldn't help but bring up the past again: "Uchiha Yuu, you are quite suitable to be the Hokage, why don't you fight for the Fifth Hokage?"

Uchiha You shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to be a Hokage. With my strength, it's not impossible for me to be a hands-off Hokage like the Shodaime."

"But the Hokage doesn't rely solely on strength. He also needs the approval of the Konoha ninjas, or at least their tacit approval."

"Like you said, Nidaime, the Uchiha clan are all simple fools. Under the guidance of the Third Hokage, they have accumulated a deep-rooted negative impression over the past twenty years."

"Until the villagers and ninjas of Konoha Village change their stereotypes about Uchiha, no Uchiha can become Hokage."

"If I were to ascend to the position of Hokage by force of my own strength, I would first have to face the disobedience and hostility of the Konoha ninjas, which would be a hundred times more troublesome than dealing with the Third Hokage."

"If I want to be a good Hokage, I must first spend a lot of effort to restore my credibility. That is the pit that the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage dug after decades of cooperation. This job is not something that can be done well just by knowing how to do it."

"I have to be prepared to work myself to death and be angry to death. How stupid would I be to choose such a deadly job for myself?"

"So I can only be the head of the Uchiha clan, as a pioneer and reformer of the clan, paving the way for later generations like Uchiha Shisui."

Senju Tobirama said regretfully: "Oh, I understand."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Come to think of it, this is also the consequence of my decision to suppress the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha You: "When Uchiha Madara was still alive, you were right to do this, Nidaime. Only by suppressing the Uchiha clan can the fragile Konoha Village be maintained."

"But what I don't understand is why you continued to suppress the Uchiha clan after he left?"

Senju Tobirama explained: "For balance."

"Konoha Village was established by the Senju and Uchiha clans. Our two clans are too powerful. The combined strength of other ninja clans and civilian ninjas is not even half as strong as our two clans."

"The balance in the village at that time was only between the Senju and the Uchiha."

"When I pushed the Senju clan to integrate into Konoha Village, no one in the Uchiha clan could understand and they refused to integrate into the village. So I had to continue to suppress the Uchiha clan to prevent the split after the balance was broken."

Uchiha You laughed and said, "That was your thought in the past, what about now?"

"Now?" Senju Tobirama shook his head and said, "Sixty years have proved that my perception of the Uchiha was wrong. Your family is all... idiots."

"Of course, there is no need to check and suppress a stupid partner who can be trusted with your back."

Uchiha You laughed: "Okay, okay, if the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama can say this, all the hard work and dangers I have faced are worth it!"

"If you can convince me, there will be no insurmountable obstacles for Uchiha Shisui to run for Hokage after he turns 20."

Senju Tobirama's eyes lit up: "Uchiha Shisui will run for Hokage after he turns 20. So you and Orochimaru have arranged for him to be the sixth Hokage. Then who will be the fifth Hokage?"

"Shisui is Orochimaru's disciple. Tsunade has no official disciple. I see. The Fifth Hokage chose Jiraiya's disciple, Minato Namikaze."

Uchiha You nodded: "As expected, he is the most politically powerful second generation Hokage in history. You guessed it all right."

Senju Tobirama took a deep breath and said, "It turns out that you two have made up your mind and have made a plan to change the Hokage every 10 to 15 years."

Uchiha Yu: "Yes."

Senju Tobirama praised: "That's great, you two work together really well, and you're far better than me in planning for the future."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have been able to make more and better suggestions for the future Konoha Village in the Ninja World."

Uchiha You sneered: "Forget it, Orochimaru and I didn't deliberately hide it. Before the time travel, if you wanted to know, how could you not know this situation?"

"It's nothing more than that you trust your own disciple Sarutobi Hiruzen more, and you dislike Orochimaru and I who overthrew him, so you preconceived that we have a conspiracy."

Senju Tobirama lowered his head: "..., I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

The Second Hokage was once the smartest person in the ninja world.

He has held this title for decades. Whether it is selecting talents, governing Konoha, designing ninja villages, developing forbidden techniques, or practicing sea escape, he has achieved unparalleled levels in the world.

As time went by, he naturally became very conceited and thought everyone he saw was a fool.

Of course, he also has an older brother who controls him completely, both in terms of family affection and strength, so this is not so obvious.

When the First Hokage died of illness and Senju Tobirama succeeded him as the Second Hokage, no one could suppress him, so he became completely arrogant.

If he wasn't so arrogant, how could he ignore the biggest flaw in Konoha Village's system and allow the Hokage to hold supreme power?

If he didn't think too highly of himself and thought that all the Konoha ninjas in his sight were fools, why would he only pick out six young ninjas to be his disciples?

If he didn't feel it didn't matter, why would he casually say what he really thought of the Uchiha clan ninjas?

The sentence "Uchiha is born evil" is the source of Konoha F4's hostility towards the Uchiha clan, and it is also the starting point of the internal division of Konoha Village.

But Senju Tobirama would not believe all this. Instead, he suspected Uchiha Yu and Orochimaru, thinking that they were the ones who killed the Third Hokage and messed up Konoha Village.

When Senju Tobirama saw the achievements of the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru, not only did he reverse the decline of Konoha Village, but he also returned to the level of crushing the four major ninja villages in a short period of time. He still did not think he was wrong.

Senju Tobirama believed that the prosperity of Konoha Village was natural, and its decline was only due to the Third Hokage's failure to do a good job. All he had to do was get rid of him, and there was no need to kill people.

Until he traveled through time and arrived in the future without Uchiha Yuu, and saw the great division and decline of Konoha Village under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In the future world's Konoha Village, the Fourth Hokage died, the Third Hokage was restored, Orochimaru defected, the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and Konoha Village declined for a full 12 years.

In the past 12 years, Konoha Village has been on the brink of destruction more than once.

But this is the least bad outcome.

If the Uchiha clan had a normal ninja as the clan leader, if the two Mangekyō were not all loyal to the Hokage, and if Uchiha Itachi was not a pervert, the Uchiha clan would have been forced to rebel.

Uchiha's self-destruction could cause Konoha Village to decline for 12 years, and their rebellion would inevitably lead to the destruction of Konoha Village.

Senju Tobirama also saw how Sarutobi Hiruzen played politics, how he blocked the path for Konoha ninjas to rise to power, and how he held all power in his own hands.

The death of Sarutobi Hiruzen was not simple. It was the result of the unity of the Konoha Village inside and outside, and the concerted efforts of the top and bottom to see him off.

This shows that the Third Hokage had long been deserted by his friends and relatives, but apart from helping the "rebel ninja" Orochimaru to kill him, the Konoha Village had no way to end his rule.

This is the blame that Senju Tobirama cannot get rid of. It was the Hokage power structure he designed that made the Third Hokage "invincible" in Konoha Village until the end.

After the death of the Third Hokage, the difficult birth of the Fifth Hokage made Senju Tobirama sigh, and the grievances of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade when facing the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage made him feel deeply humiliated.

If it weren't for the yellow-haired boy and the last Uchiha's outbreak, his strength would have skyrocketed in just a few days, and he would have leapt from a Kage-level ninja to a "God" surpassing the first Hokage.

After the Fourth Ninja World War, it would be difficult for Konoha Village to escape the siege of the three major ninja villages. Even the Sand Village might replace its Fifth Kazekage and join in the division of Konoha Village.

Faced with such a cruel fact, Senju Tobirama's pride was shattered, so he apologized to Uchiha You.

Uchiha You naturally didn't take it seriously, accepted his apology, and then said: "Continue to talk about the information in the future. This is your mission to travel through time."

Senju Tobirama nodded and continued to talk about the information he would collect in the future.

He hid in Konoha Village and obtained a lot of intelligence through Konoha's intelligence system.

"According to your suggestion, I secretly issued a mission in the name of the Hokage and explored a lot of key intelligence."

Uchiha You interrupted, "Wait, Nidaime, your identity has been exposed?"

Senju Tobirama: "Of course not."

Uchiha You asked: "Then how can you issue a mission in the name of Hokage?"

Senju Tobirama smiled and said, "It's very simple. Go to the Hokage's office at night, take a piece of paper from the desk, write down the mission, fill in the correct mission number and secret code, and then stamp it with the Hokage's seal. Then it will be the Hokage's order without any problems."

"Finally, just stuff it into the other piles of documents, and a ninja will naturally take the mission letter away the next day, and the mission will be automatically released."

Uchiha You was stunned: "I know you designed this. Although it is outrageous that the Hokage's secret code has not changed for 30 years, I can still accept it. But after these tasks are completed, they are reported in the form of task files. How did you prevent the Fifth Hokage Tsunade from seeing it?"

Senju Tobirama suddenly blushed: "Tsunade saw it, but she...didn't find anything wrong with those missions. She didn't even take a good look at the information she got after completing the mission."

Senju Tobirama felt very ashamed. He had known for a long time that Tsunade was not a qualified Hokage, but it was still shocking that she could be so careless.

"I couldn't help myself and marked the document with important points, hoping that Tsunade would pay attention to the information, but she ignored it all."

The Second Hokage sighed and felt extremely sad about the failure of his own education.

Uchiha You rolled his eyes: "Okay, I think I know how you were exposed."

Uchiha You smiled, but looked at Senju Tobirama with unfriendly eyes: "Nidaime, please tell me, how many tasks have you issued in the Hokage's office, and how many times have you highlighted the key information?"

Senju Tobirama understood that Uchiha You meant that it was these missions that led to his exposure.

But he did not agree with this, and did not think there was anything wrong even when being stared at by Uchiha Yu.

But surprisingly, he thought for a long time before answering awkwardly: "I marked the key intelligence 14 times, as for how many tasks I issued, I can't remember..."

Uchiha You: "It seems that the second generation has issued a lot of tasks. It's normal that I can't remember the exact number, but I should have an approximate number of tasks issued, right?"

Senju Tobirama thought for a moment and replied, "About seven or eight hundred pieces."

Uchiha You: "..."

He sighed and said, "It's not unfair at all that you were captured by the Six Paths Sage."

Senju Tobirama frowned and said, "How is it possible? I was very careful. No one except Tsunade, the Hokage, would find any flaws."

Uchiha You sighed and said, "Nidaime, you don't know that in the eyes of the Six Paths Sage and I, we don't even look at your forged Hokage mission letter."

"We are looking at the action trends of Konoha Village and the changes in the overall attention trends of Konoha ninjas. No matter how much you disguise the details, such a big trend cannot be concealed."

Senju Tobirama's eyes widened: "So at your level, this is how you observe the world?"

Uchiha You nodded and said, "Yes, because there are too many details to take in. Now that I have the ability to observe from a global perspective, there is no need to dwell on the details."

"Just because the Fifth Hokage Tsunade didn't see the missions you posted doesn't mean that other people in Konoha Village didn't see them. At least Nara Shikaku must have seen them."

"As the chief advisor of Konoha Village, if he sees it, then Konoha Village will see it, and will naturally react accordingly. Then White Zetsu, who is monitoring Konoha Village, will discover the problem."

"As long as you take action enough times, you will attract the attention of Black Zetsu."

"And Black Zetsu has discovered you, and the Six Paths Sage will know about it soon."

Senju Tobirama's poker face broke again, and he shouted in surprise: "What? Black Zetsu and Six Paths Sage are in the same group... No, that's not right..."

"It turns out that the Six Paths Sage is the final chess player and the controller hiding behind Black Zetsu!"
