Chapter 755: The Uchiha, Konoha, and the New Hokage
"True peace is fought for with one’s own hands!"
Looking at Sasuke, who had said this without changing his expression, Naruto smiled and stood up. At this mont, Shikamaru looked at Sasuke with a complicated gaze. Although with his intelligence, he could already judge that Sasuke’s statent was probably the most correct path, such a path would involve a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice. When you face this kind of choice, it’s really hard to make what you know is the right choice. Even Naruto was willing to pay a painful price for it, yet still wanted to choose the wrong answer.
"Sasuke!" Naruto looked at him. "Indeed, in chaotic tis, you might be more suitable to be Hokage than !" Naruto’s kindness was enough, but he lacked a certain decisiveness. In chaotic tis, what was needed was not a wise lord, but a great conqueror! Only such a person could end everything.
Sasuke glanced at Naruto. "I have no interest in the position of Hokage!"
"I don’t plan to give the position of Hokage to you!" Naruto said, which made Sasuke speechless. Then why say so much?
"But who said a village can’t have two Kage!"
Two? Instantly, everyone in the Hokage’s office was stunned. The Konoha ninja all looked up, and even a portion of the Uchiha clan ninja were very surprised.
"I don’t want to be Hokage!" Sasuke refused without any hesitation, which once again made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. If Sasuke really was willing to beco Konoha’s second Hokage! Then they wouldn’t even know whether to support or oppose it. After all, if they opposed it, not only would they have to consider Sasuke’s strength, but also the opinion of the Uchiha clan. And now that Sasuke himself had refused, it wasn’t so troubleso. Besides, Sasuke’s prestige was no less than Naruto’s. If he really was willing, not to ntion the Uchiha clan, even most of the ninja in Konoha would probably be very supportive.
"Everyone, leave!" Naruto said. Even Shikamaru frowned and was the first to walk out.
When only Naruto and Sasuke were left in the Hokage’s office, Naruto ca to the window and looked at the panoramic view of Konoha Village.
"Beautiful, isn’t it!"
Sasuke curled his lip. "What’s so beautiful about it? It’s almost been destroyed!" The last Akatsuki invasion had caused damage to Konoha that had not yet been fully repaired. Even now, you could see people busy rebuilding all over the village. Although it was a matter of war, they couldn’t just let the village continue like this! No matter what the war was like, the stronger Konoha appeared, the more at ease the Konoha ninja would be.
"Sasuke! Beco the second Hokage!" This ti, Naruto spoke directly without waiting for Sasuke to refuse. "Although I haven’t paid much attention to the Uchiha clan, I also know that because of the chaos, the number of Uchiha clan mbers has gradually increased."
"Now, the Uchiha clan has beco the largest clan in Konoha. In terms of ninja numbers, perhaps it’s not comparable to the current Konoha, but in terms of combat power!"
"The combat power of an Uchiha clan ninja, any ninja who has opened their eyes, has the combat power of at least a chūnin!"
"Among the jōnin, I did a rough count, and they already account for half of the number." Naruto looked at Sasuke.
Hearing this data, even Sasuke was a little surprised. But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly seed to understand where the problem was. The Uchiha clan’s strange dōjutsu awakening. For so reason, many people in the Uchiha clan had their Sharingan awaken one after another. The Sharingan, which originally required arduous training to awaken, could now be easily awakened by many Uchiha clansn.
Even many clan heads who originally only had a three-tomoe Sharingan, now a portion of them had awakened the Mangekyo, and so had not only obtained the Mangekyo but had also awakened a four-tomoe Sharingan along with it. Everyone knew the conditions for awakening the Mangekyo, but now it seed the Uchiha clan no longer had this restriction. As long as their dōjutsu power reached the level, they could smoothly awaken the Mangekyo.
Just last ti, when the Akatsuki mbers invaded Konoha, because of that battle, a full five mbers of the Uchiha clan had awakened the Mangekyo. And there were also dozens who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. The three-tomoe Sharingan, for a ninja, was a terrifying thing. There was no need for further elaboration.
Even the elders of the Uchiha clan were researching a special sealing jutsu. Once a mber of the Uchiha clan died, their eyes would be completely sealed. Unless a fellow Uchiha clan mber with a Mangekyo could undo it. This was to ensure that the Uchiha’s three-tomoe Sharingan would not be scattered everywhere. After all, it was warti now. In this situation, it was not strange for soone to covet the Uchiha’s Sharingan, kill their ninja, and gouge out their eyes.
"Sasuke! Do you know what this ans?" Naruto smiled and looked at Sasuke.
"The Uchiha clan had previously established a camp on the border of the Land of Fire, in the direction of the Land of Wind!"
"Shikamaru sent people to scout it out. That place is not only suitable for stationing troops, but even for establishing a ninja village!"
"I understand. The Uchiha people have probably already given up on integrating into Konoha. They want to support you in establishing a ninja village belonging to the Uchiha clan!"
This wasn’t considered defection, at most it was leaving Konoha and the Land of Fire. Compared to the previous Uchiha rebellion, this was already a very good situation. However, Naruto didn’t want to see this happen. At the sa ti, Konoha indeed owed the Uchiha too much. From the establishnt of Konoha, to the subsequent Uchiha massacre, before that, the Uchiha clan had always been contributing to Konoha, but the final result was not so good.
"So the reason for making you the second Hokage is also here!" Naruto looked at Sasuke, waiting for his answer.
"You don’t want to see the Uchiha repeat the tragedy of the past, do you!" Hearing this, Sasuke smiled helplessly.
In the end, it was still a matter of bonds. Otherwise, Sasuke wouldn’t have even considered these things. But now that Naruto had said so, Sasuke had to consider it.
"Two Hokages, how to divide the power?"
Naruto smiled. "Can’t the two of us just discuss everything!"
"What about the next generation!"
"Encourage intermarriage between the Uchiha and other clans!"
Hearing this, Sasuke probably understood. This generation had him and Naruto. The next generation had Sarada and Boruto. The two of them wouldn’t have any major conflicts either. For two generations, sixty years, if the Uchiha intermarried with other clans, then in the end, the Uchiha bloodline would be completely integrated into Konoha. Then whether there were two Hokages or one, it wouldn’t really matter anymore.
But that was probably not sothing Sasuke would be able to see. After all, once the chaos ended, Sasuke would have to return to his own ti. What would happen after that, even Sasuke himself didn’t know.
"Then I’ll be this so-called Hokage for a while!" Sasuke slowly got up, and Naruto finally revealed a smile.
Two Hokages in one village!
