This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

Chapter 353: The Real Purpose, the Dagger!

Itachi's condition was very simple. He did not have any thoughts of extorting the village. After all, the village was as important as his clansmen in his heart.

However, if he wanted to solve this problem from the root, the first thing he had to do was to eliminate the dissatisfaction and resentment in the hearts of all the clansmen of Uchiha Clan. If he could not do it, no matter who the clan leader was, the tragedy would inevitably repeat itself.

This was the prerequisite!

And Itachi's starting point was also precisely because of this, without any selfishness.

Therefore, after listening to Itachi's explanation, Sarutobi also calmed down. He seriously thought about Itachi's words and found that it was not always reasonable. This matter really had to be done by him.

And face and so on, was it important to him, an old man who was about to be buried?

Was it more important than eliminating the 'misunderstanding' and making Konoha more united and peaceful?

Perhaps when Danzo was still around, Sarutobi would hesitate.

However, after realizing the true strength of Uchiha Clan, Sarutobi began to regret it.

As for his suspicions towards Uchiha because of the matter with Kyuubi, now that he thought about it, there were also many doubtful points. There were too many places that did not make sense.

Therefore, even though Sarutobi was still wary of Uchiha Clan at this moment, he did not want to drive away Uchiha Clan just because of suspicion or simply fight to the death, causing Konoha to be greatly injured.

He would not do this kind of business that would make him vomit blood.

Therefore, after seriously thinking about it, he agreed to Itachi's request and prepared to treat Uchiha Clan in a different way to see what kind of effect it would have.

To put it bluntly, Itachi was only fighting for the fair treatment that Uchiha Clan should enjoy and a little respect from the village.

If they could not even satisfy this basic human rights, there was no point in forcing them to stay.

However, Itachi's last condition made Sarutobi raise his eyebrows and not agree easily.

"I think that the higher-ups of Konoha are no longer able to keep up with the times. Apart from being older and eating less, I haven't seen them bring any help to Konoha for so many years. On the contrary, they are like spies planted in Konoha by other villages. They will only harm the interests of the village."

"Moreover, the attitude of those people just now is really too chilling. They look so high and mighty, as if without them, Konoha will collapse."

"But in fact, everyone knows that Konoha is able to survive today because of the Hokage-sama."

"They are like a group of moths, only sucking blood from Konoha."

"Therefore, I suggest that we replace the two high-level consultants and inject fresh blood into the village, so that the village can develop better."

These words were what Aoba had to say to Itachi, even if it would touch the sensitive nerves of many people, they had to bring it up.

Because it was estimated that people who had seen the original work would not be annoyed with the two old trash, Homura and Koharu!

Every time they appeared, they would either be holding back, or they would make some extremely strange suggestions, or they would strongly oppose the right decision of the Hokage, as if they could not be seen if they did not do so!

Compared to them, the help of the Hokage was not so hateful!

At least, Danzo, who was also a senior member of Konoha, had done a lot of real things and secretly done a lot of dirty work for the village.

But what about Homura and Koharu?

Relying on the friendship he had with Sarutobi in the past, he played all kinds of topics, which had no effect on Konoha at all. It was an eyesore to look at.

Of course, if it was just because of disgust, he would not have to let Itachi stay at the end and say that he was a sinner. Aoba arranged this to pave the way for himself.

For Sarutobi, Homura and Koharu were indeed somewhat blinded by the power, which made him lost a lot of words. If not for the fact that he was nostalgic and felt that the experience of these two people could guide the new Hokage, he would not tolerate it.

But he could not admit these things. Wouldn't that be a slap to his face?

"The two consultants are indeed old and a little out of the masses, but this old man is also at this age. Should I abdicate as soon as possible and give up the position?"

Itachi shook his head and said, "The contributions that Hokage-sama has made to Konoha are obvious to all. However, it is time for the two consultants to retire."

"If I do not agree, what are you going to do? Lead your people away from Konoha?" Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and the atmosphere that had just improved once again became hostile.

"No, my Uchiha Clan has always been loyal to Konoha. Since the Hokage has already promised to uphold the name of our clan, Itachi naturally will not be ignorant."

Hearing this, Sarutobi's complexion eased a lot. He knew that Itachi was still quite sensible and did not step on his nose.

"However, I also ask the Hokage-sama to make an assumption. If the Hokage-sama abdicates, will the newly appointed Hokage be affected by the two high-level consultants? With their prejudice against my Uchiha Clan, is there any reason for me to think that the good situation left behind by Hiruzen-sama will still be destroyed?"

Sarutobi was not angry, but frowned and thought.

Itachi's worry was not without evidence. Including the suppression that targeted Uchiha, Danzo, Homura and Koharu had contributed a lot. Even he could not ignore the opinions of these higher-ups.

Otherwise, wouldn't these people become decorations?

If he abdicated, the new Hokage might really be influenced by Homura and Koharu. All his efforts would be in vain.

Compared to the internal peace of the village, the friendship of the past was not important.

When he thought of the scene of Itachi being 'impulsive', he believed that this enmity had already been completely resolved and there was no possibility of turning back.

If even the move was planned in advance, then it was a bit too terrifying.

He had no choice but to make a choice between the two sides.

"Your goal shouldn't be just to replace the two high-level consultants, right?" Sarutobi stared at Itachi and asked.

"If possible, I hope that Hiruzen-sama can consider my father. This way, the relationship between Uchiha Clan and the village will be closer."

After laying down so much, the most important step in Aoba's plan was finally spoken out by Itachi.

"Fugaku?!"

Sarutobi was first shocked, then he understood.

First, he seized the position of clan leader, then he used the chips in his hands to openly negotiate with the village. While fighting for benefits for his own clan, he sent his father to the center of Konoha's power step by step.

At this point, if the village wanted to harm Uchiha Clan again, it was already impossible!

Or it could be said that any suppression against Uchiha Clan could not be achieved, and it could not be hidden from Fugaku, who was in the center of Konoha's power!

If this step was successful, then Uchiha Clan would become Konoha's new nobility in one leap, and they would have the opportunity to go back to glory!
