Chapter 27 Hashirama, are you really coming?
Hearing Yutaro's reasoned and well-founded speech, the Uchiha in the ancestral hall were deeply moved and empathized with him.
Many ninjas who awakened the Sharingan lost their parents, brothers, and families during the various Shinobi World Wars.
He shed blood for Konoha, and was wounded at the Kannabi Bridge...
Listen to that, how well said!
Therefore, even among the Uchiha who supported Fugaku, many felt that Elder Yutaro was right.
Moreover, both sides are temporarily aligned in their positions, advocating for military intervention and supporting Konoha's war against Kumogakure.
"That monkey Hiruzen Sarutobi should be kicked out of office immediately!"
"That's right. As the supreme leader, he indulged Danzo and Orochimaru; as the Hokage, he failed to lead by example; as the teacher, he allowed the legendary Sannin to degenerate; he is a typical example of someone who does nothing and is inactive."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you are unworthy of being called Hokage!"
"..."
After criticizing the Third Hokage, it's natural to make comparisons, and some people have started to recount the virtuous deeds of the Uchiha clan.
"We Uchiha are the true role models for Konoha!"
"Well said. Our guards treat all ninja clans equally, big and small. Even if the Hokage's son breaks the law, he will be punished the same as everyone else. We enforce the law fairly and justly."
"I'd like to say a few words here. In terms of work, the garrison holds a small meeting every five days and a large meeting every ten days. They are proactive in their work and their summaries are thorough."
"Let me add something. In our daily lives, we Uchiha people stay far away from the masses. We insist on not taking a single needle or thread from them, and we don't monopolize medicinal materials to exploit the people. We are truly a model for all ninja clans."
One good deed after another was mentioned, and the Moon Clan Association, which had been reflecting on past hardships and cherishing present happiness, finally got back on track.
The situation was getting out of control, and many Uchiha were on the verge of losing their composure, with men falling silent and women weeping.
Another day of feeling sorry for our Uchiha clan.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Elder Tianye tapped his cane, bringing peace back to the scene.
"Everyone has said what they wanted to say, so we can discuss the impeachment of the Hokage later. Today's topic is whether the Uchiha clan will accept the Hokage's large-scale conscription to participate in the operation."
Amano paused, and seeing that no one objected, continued:
"Then let's start the vote by raising hands."
……
Kazuhiko knew the result beforehand without even seeing the voting results, and the result was—
The Uchiha clan will definitely accept the conscription and participate in the war against Kumogakure.
As for how he knew, it was because he opened it.
At this moment, it is clearly displayed on [Dark Blue]:
[World lines are unfolding...]
[Uchiha Yutaro: We, the Uchiha clan and Konoha, are indeed ailing. We must perform surgery immediately to remove this cancer from Konoha! The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, must step down!]
[The timeline has unfolded—]
[Timeline 1: The butterfly wings you flapped are brewing a storm that will sweep across all Uchiha. You actively participated in the operation against Kumogakure, successfully ending the war and pushing for the impeachment of the Hokage.]
[Rewards: +2 chances to draw Kage-level stats; Yutaro's favorability increases significantly. (The Uchiha's destined fate seems to be shifting; will it hasten destruction, or lead to rebirth?)]
[Timeline 2: You withdrew one of your wings, prioritizing safety. You did not participate in combat operations and secretly hindered the Hokage impeachment.]
[Rewards: +1 chance to draw a Kage-level attribute; Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorability greatly increased. (The Uchiha clan must return to the correct path of destiny; you will personally bury a budding seed.)]
[Worldline 3: You flap your wings and create a raging storm. You actively participate in the war against Kumogakure, successfully ending the conflict and supporting the new Hokage.]
[Rewards: +2 chances to draw Kage-level stats; Yutaro's affinity greatly increased; unlocks a specific ninja stat pool. (The fate of the Uchiha clan will be in your hands...)]
Kazuhiko looked at the world line missions, his feelings somewhat complicated.
"Butterfly wings..."
Even without him, the Uchiha clan would most likely have been drafted and deployed to foreign operations.
Otherwise, given the numerous conflicts between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, they wouldn't have waited several years before attempting a coup, leading to the massacre of the Uchiha clan.
But the impeachment of three generations of officials was definitely caused by his "butterfly flapping wings".
According to the original storyline, the Third Hokage remained Hokage until he was killed by Orochimaru.
Furthermore, judging from Yutaro's remarks and the timeline hints, his idea of impeaching the Third Generation originated from Kazuhiko.
Just as described by Deep Blue:
[The butterfly wings that Kazuhiko flapped were brewing a storm that would sweep across all the Uchiha clans.]
Kazuhiko looked at the three world lines and fell into thought.
Impeach the Hokage, secretly prevent it, or support a new Hokage.
Considering both the current state and future of Konoha Village, this is indeed a possibility.
Firstly, the impeachment of the Hokage did indeed happen in Konoha, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a witness to it.
In the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered a pyrrhic victory over Iwagakure.
Because the Third Hokage advocated and promoted a compromise and peace, and did not demand reparations from the Land of Earth and the Hidden Stone Village, the war ended quickly.
This decision caused serious dissatisfaction throughout Konoha. Danzo saw an opportunity and joined forces with Konoha's higher-ups to hold those responsible accountable.
The result was that the Third Hokage resigned to take responsibility, and Minato Namikaze was promoted to the position of Hokage, thus Danzo's attempt to seize power failed.
Therefore, impeaching the Hokage is not unfounded; it's just that a ready-made reason is needed to push this forward.
And there is a reason for that!
And it's about to happen.
The Hinata Incident!
The Hidden Cloud Village sent a delegation to Konoha under the pretext of signing a peace treaty.
However, his true purpose was to covet the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and on the night the treaty was signed, he sent a Jonin to infiltrate the Hyuga clan's territory, kidnap the young Hinata, and then Hiashi discovered and killed her on the spot.
The Cloud Village delegation vehemently denied the allegations and even turned the tables, claiming that Konoha had killed the peace envoys, demonstrating a complete lack of sincerity in negotiations.
The Cloud Village leadership, threatening war, made unreasonable demands of Konoha:
The body of the murderer, Hiashi Hyuga, must be handed over as compensation.
The outcome was a humiliating compromise between the Third Hokage and the Hyuga clan, sacrificing Hizashi Hyuga in exchange for the signing of a peace treaty by Kumogakure.
"Making a fuss about this and impeaching three generations of officials...it's actually quite easy!"
Kazuhiko's eyes lit up.
He couldn't imagine how he could lose to a combination of Uchiha, Hyuga, and Danzo, who aspired to be Hokage.
So as long as there is a suitable candidate for Hokage, the task of supporting a new Hokage is actually quite easy to complete!
It seems that it's time for our Konoha to produce a Hokage who can master top-tier lightning magic.
I've decided it's you!
Tsunade!
Without further hesitation, He Yan decisively selected Task Three and began to check the rewards.
+2 chances to draw movie-level keywords! Awesome!
Yutaro's favorability rating has increased significantly, that's all.
The special ninja-themed gacha pool is now open! It's incredibly popular!
Hashirama, are you really coming?
Kazuhiko began to dream.
"Tsunade-mama, where are you? It's so hard to guess."
