Chapter 159 The Third Hokage’s Methods

At night, the lights flickered inside the Hokage Building.

After reviewing the last document, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly raised his head, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked through the window in the direction of the Senju clan. After a long while, he spoke to himself:
"Tsunade, I hope you can understand my intentions. The village needs stability. Kushina can stay in the Senju clan, but she cannot have an affair with Uchiha!"

Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's firm gaze, he believed that Tsunade would make a wise choice, but after thinking of the Uchiha clan, his expression gradually became serious.

"Yu Uchiha, a genius ninja, does not marry the daughter of an elder of the same clan, but instead has been entangled with all parties. He is really ambitious for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Ye's behavior is clearly the will of the Uchiha clan.

Involved with Uzumaki Kushina, this time he not only reminded Tsunade, but also alienated the relationship between Senju and Uchiha.

"I don't think anyone in the Senju clan will watch helplessly as Mito-sama stays and the power used to protect the Senju clan is bewitched by the Uchiha clan and leave!"

When thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a rare confident smile. He was too experienced in dealing with big families.

After a series of tactics of wooing, dividing, and alienating, it is certain that not many families can withstand it.

At this time, he was standing outside the window, looking at the entire Konoha. However, the clans of the two major families, Senju and Uchiha, were located on both sides of the Hokage Building, one on the left and one on the right.

Even though he had seen this scene for more than twenty years, it was still so dazzling that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown.

"The Uchiha clan, which possesses powerful and uncontrollable power, is too dangerous. They still live in the center of the village, while the Senju clan occupies the most prosperous center area, and the population is withering!"

Watching this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel melancholy. He still had a lot of things to do and couldn't leave a mess for those who came after him.

In his eyes, Uchiha was too extreme and regarded as an uncontrollable force. However, Uchiha was still next to the Hokage's office building, right in the middle of the village.

Not to mention the Thousand Hands Clan, which has obviously withered away, but still occupies such a large and prosperous area, seriously affecting the development of the village today.

Today's Konoha is at its peak, whether it is military power, economy or population, all interests have been divided up.

That's why he had a headache, and finally Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

"Maybe it's time to have a good talk with Tsunade. To become the Fourth Hokage, you need not only fame, but also love for the village."

Today's Sarutobi Hiruzen is proud, and he is not the old Shinobi he was later.

The village has developed into the best in the ninja world in his hands. If he leads Konoha to win the third war of the ninja world.

When he left office, he negotiated with Tsunade and obtained a large number of prosperous areas owned by the Senju clan. His reputation as a martial arts master would once again rise to a peak.

"Nara, Akimichi and Yamanaka, I hope you won't disappoint me either."

As if he thought of something, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked through the darkness at the three pigs, deer, and butterflies further away.

Now in Konoha, since Tsunade inherited the title of Senju, almost all major families have formed a vague alliance.

The Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, Aburame, Hatake, Kurama and other families formed an alliance of interests with Senju Tsunade.

Similarly, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage for so many years, has used various methods to win over, divide, and suppress. In addition to a large number of civilian ninjas, he also has his own group of family allies.

Led by the Sarutobi clan, in addition to a few high-level people, there are also some families such as Nara, Akimichi, Yamazaka, and Inuzuka.

Don't say that Pig, Deer and Butterfly are neutral. Have you ever seen any neutral person that can be reused? Can he still become the Jonin squad leader?
You can be neutral, but as long as the situation stabilizes, the first thing people on both sides will deal with will be these neutral things.

Aburame clan.

"Brother, the family cannot let you be like this. If we really want to put all the pressure on the Thousand Hands clan, do you know the consequences of failure!"

Aburame Zhiwei looked at her eldest brother with an ugly expression. He was also the current leader of the Aburame clan and a famous ninja in the ninja world.

Aburame Shiguro, Aburame's father in the original work. Even Obito has heard of the name of this legendary ninja, who was a nano-level poisonous insect user of the previous generation.

At this time, Aburame Shiguro looked at his cousin, another force in the family, with a calm expression.

"Zhiwei, I understand your worries, so I have always turned a blind eye to the Hokage family's efforts to win over your family these years!"

After Aburame Shiguro directly said the dirty secret, Aburame Shiguro's expression changed slightly, and his eyes behind his sunglasses were a little dodgey.

"Big...brother, you know everything!"

Looking at his hesitating cousin, Aburame Shiguro smiled calmly to himself.

"Tsunade-sama said that today's senior Hokage line, the best way to deal with the family is to win over, divide, and alienate. It turns out that what he said is absolutely correct."

"You don't need to explain anything. Since you care about the Third Hokage and the others, I understand you, but I also hope you won't give me any big reasons."

Neither of them are children, they are both for the family, and they also know their own hearts.

"Although Aburame is from a small clan, the whole clan cannot bear the weight of the Third Hokage. How old is the Third Hokage now? It is only a matter of time before a new Hokage is selected..."

One family, two voices. Although it is divided, it also provides an additional escape route for the family.

Finally, after Aburame Zhiwei heard this, she lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "I understand."

Even an extreme family like Uchiha knows how to create two voices: hawks and doves, let alone other more rational families.

Aburame's behavior is the choice of most families. There are two voices in the family, and they place bets separately. Even if they lose, they will not lose everything.

Although it won't be a big victory, it can keep the family going.

In the original novel, it is clear that Aburame Shiguro lost, so later on in his lineage, his son was brought to the root.

But similarly, the Aburame clan has also continued to develop.

The Uchiha clan simply has no choice. Those who are discriminated against and excluded by the current Third Generation Hokage clan, even if they are the ones who play doggy, they are better than the current Third Generation high-ranking people.

In the huge Qianshou clan, the private warmth of a mansion was steaming.

"This is a hot spring with special chemicals. It can relieve muscle fatigue and also has the effect of a medicinal bath."

Under the white steam, Uzumaki Kushina was seen soaking in the hot spring wrapped in a bath towel, with only a small head exposed. Her face was flushed, and her red hair was smudged in the hot spring.

"Kushina, you are really rich."

Uchiha Ye, who was leaning by the hot spring, also showed a rare relaxed look, squinting and enjoying the rare leisure time.

Uzumaki Mito left. This mansion was originally meant for Kushina, but the red flower of wealth didn't come often.

However, the barriers set up around it made him sigh at the wealth of Fuguihua. It was indeed rich.

"Kushina, I will come more often in the future." Uchiha Mikoto, with long black hair on the side, also showed an expression of enjoyment while soaking in the hot spring. The three of them squinted their eyes in unison, enjoying the rare leisure time.

"The situation in the ninja world is not very good now. While enjoying yourself, remember not to forget to practice."

Uchiha Ye habitually put practice on his lips again. After hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded, while Uzumaki Kushina on the side couldn't help but glared fiercely.

"Mikoto, I heard that you are somewhat restricted within the family. Is it because of Sister Tsunade?"

Uzumaki Kushina hesitated for a moment, and then started talking to Mikoto from the side. It seemed like the exchange between the two, but in fact it was for Uchiha Ye.

Mikoto smiled and shook her head and said: "It's not really a restriction. Ye said that in this ninja world, only strength is real, and everything else is fake."

"Even if it is Hokage's supreme power, it is too illusory without absolute strength. Or he is worried and afraid, thinking about who will persecute him every day. Without this power, it is better not to be Hokage."

Under Uchiha Mikoto's teasing voice, there was sarcasm in her eyes. It was obvious that she was mocking the current Third Hokage.

For wealthy people like them, they both want to take advantage of them, but are also afraid of them. They are both incompetent and assertive. To put it bluntly, they are persecution paranoia due to insufficient strength.

"Mikoto, if you are short of money, I have it."

Uzumaki Kushina's shy eyes glanced at Uchiha Ye who had her eyes closed to rest, and then she nodded her little head at Mikoto and said.

After hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly showed a teasing smile, took the sake floating on the hot spring wooden plate, poured a glass for the two of them, and said with a smile:
"I almost forgot, Kushina is Here’s Konoha’s little rich woman.”

Under the ridicule, Uzumaki Kushina also imitated Mikoto and picked up the wine glass. She tasted it lightly, which immediately made her frown and the word "drinkable" appeared on her face.

"Also... not much. There was a lot of heritage from the Kingdom of Uzumaki, which was kept to prepare for the restoration of the country. But now there are not many members of the Uzumaki clan, and there is no need for it..."

When she said this, Uzumaki Kushina suppressed the sadness in her heart, showed a firm smile, and drank the sake in the cup.

"If Mikoto, you and Ye need it, I can... give it to you, no! I'll just lend it to you first."

Halfway through the conversation, as if she was afraid that Uchiha Ye would think she was looking down on him, Uzumaki Kushina quickly denied it and said it was an excuse.

But everyone knows that when Uzumaki Kushina said borrowing, she clearly meant giving.

After hearing this, Uchiha Ye, who was soaking in the hot spring, felt a warm current in his heart. He couldn't help but open his eyes and looked at Kushina and said with a smile:

"Thank you Kushina, but we don't need it now, so Kushina will keep these wealth for now."

I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol or the temperature of the hot spring that caused Uzumaki Kushina's face to turn red.

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes flashed cunningly, and she slowly swam behind Kushina, and then gently hugged her.

"Sister Mikoto, what are you doing..."

A weak voice came, and Mikoto was heard in Kushina's ear, whispering: "Kushina, you are in charge of the small treasury for Ye, and I will help Ye take charge of Uchiha, so that we will never be separated. Already..."

"And, Kushina, do you want to..."

Uzumaki Kushina, who was soaking in the hot spring, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and saw that the restraints on her body had been untied while soaking in the hot spring.

"Sister Mikoto..."

"Kushina, the last time you asked Ye to release the curse seal on you in the hospital bed, you forgot about the metal material reflecting the light above the head of the research room. It happened to be clearly visible to me with the kaleidoscope at that time..."

Uh-huh!
After hearing what Mikoto said, Uzumaki Kushina stared with big eyes, her head was shut down. The last time she and Ye were all seen by Mikoto.

The image of her shyness making her want to crawl into the cracks of the earth kept echoing in her mind, her face was so red that it was steaming, and Mikoto took the opportunity to move her hands up and down.

"Kushina, don't you want to be the wings of the night? We are both the wings of the night and will never be separated..."

Under the bewitching voice, the two slowly came to Uchiha. Kushina's trembling hand in the water was grabbed by the other hand and moved forward.

Sudden!

Uchiha Ye stared at Mikoto and Kushina with his eyes widened.

"Ye! I want to help you!"

The extremely shy Uzumaki Kushina, when facing Uchiha Ye, her brave character made her stare directly at Uchiha Ye with big eyes, and said all the words in her heart.

"Ye, if you need it, I have money. I have a lot of money. I can help you cultivate your power so that you can compete for the position of the Uchiha clan leader."

Good guy, seeing Uzumaki Kushina's direct words, Uchiha Ye was speechless for a while, and at the same time showed a touched smile.

Although Kushina is in love, if it is for herself, no man can refuse her.

"Kushina, you are really cute, but Mikoto, you have such a fun-loving personality..."

Before he finished speaking, Uchiha Ye's pupils suddenly shrank. Mikoto had already swam to the other side of his body, and Kushina's hand was grabbed by her.

Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina were on the left and right. Although they were under the hot spring, the bathrobes under the water had been untied at some point.

The three of them had been frank with each other even from the neck down where they were submerged in the hot spring.

Feeling the trembling palms, Uchiha Ye, who had regained his strength, showed a warm smile, and the three of them leaned against each other in the hot spring.

"Kushina, I understand your thinking. The so-called leader of the Uchiha clan is dispensable to me now, even to Sister Tsunade."

Uchiha squinted his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the hot spring and said slowly, now it seems that Uchiha Fugaku will inherit the position of clan leader.

But this person has an indecisive personality, to put it harshly, if he makes any decision about the family, Fugaku, the eldest brother, will usually agree half-heartedly and half-heartedly.

The one that is a little more difficult is the current patriarch, but the body and bones of this old patriarch are obviously only from the past few years.

The position of patriarch!

He doesn't have to make any calculations at all, as long as he puts the pressure of the family on this eldest brother Fugaku, he will naturally retreat when the time comes.

"Fugaku Jonin? I heard that he married the daughter of another elite Jonin in the clan some time ago."

Mikoto on the side smiled and analyzed, while Uzumaki Kushina on the side went from blushing and shy at the beginning to now taking the initiative, with a strong sense of stimulation and excitement in her eyes.

"Ye, what do you need me to do!?"

Looking at the serious Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Ye seemed to have thought of something, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Kushina, I really need to trouble you with something. Maybe you are the only one in Konoha who has this ability, Kushina."

When she heard this, Uzumaki Kushina's face became hot, and at the same time her heart was trembling and very exciting, which made her a little impulsive.

Need her! Could it be in front of Sister Mikoto...
