"Hiruzen, if she's crazy, are you crazy too, how could you make such an outrageous decision."
Utatane Koharu exclaimed.
She was completely unclear about what was going on in Sandaime's mind right now, suddenly asking Momo about this little brat Kirito, and after learning about this little brat's attitude towards the Uchiha clan, she actually decided to let the Uchiha clan participate in the Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation straight away.
When did that little brat named Kirito become so important? His words could actually influence Hiruzen's judgment.
Yes, she didn't deny that Kirito was important in this Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation, but he was still just an 8 year old kid, and he hadn't made any great contribution to Hiruza for the time being, and he didn't have any decent status, so how could he become a bargaining chip to sway Hiruzen's judgment?
Homura Mitokado was equally puzzled by this, he personally, like Utatane Koharu, didn't think Kirito, an 8 year old, was important.
"Enough, Koharu, I'm not crazy, I'm well aware that you're not Hokage, you wouldn't understand how strained Konoha's forces are right now, drawing Uchiha clan ninjas to support the borders is the best option at the moment."
Sandaime saw that this old classmate of his was still opposing, and said with a cold face.
He was Hokage, how could he be crazy.
The reason he had just asked Momo that question was because he had realized that Momo had been convinced to come over as a lobbyist by this Kirito kid.
This matter of Kirito entering Uchiha Homura's house was certainly known to him as a Hokage.
There were people in the Uchiha clan who were equally loyal to him.
And like Danzo, he quickly thought that this was Uchiha Homura hoping to get the Uchiha clan involved in this Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation through Kirito.
Only he hadn't realized that Kirito hadn't come to him directly, but had spoken to him through Momo.
He did understand this person, Momo Senju, this was a Senju who hated the Uchiha clan immensely, and she deeply understood how powerful the Uchiha clan was.
Therefore, it was basically impossible for her to agree to Kirito helping the Uchiha clan in the Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation.
If Kirito hadn't come up with some heartwarming condition that she couldn't refuse, it was definitely impossible for her to agree to Kirito coming over here to act as a lobbyist.
As for what this heartwarming condition was, Sandaime wasn't sure.
But he wanted to know that nine times out of ten this condition was the power that could defeat the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"To be able to defeat the Mangekyo Sharingan, what kind of power would that be?"
Sandaime was both curious and expectant in his heart.
But no matter what, this power would inevitably be Konoha's and their Hokage faction's power, he just needed to be clear about that.
Kirito was ultimately Lord Mito's disciple, he was equally rooted in the direct line of Hokage, as well as someone who had received the inheritance of the Will of Fire, and he definitely had his heart set on Konoha rather than Uchiha.
What's more, like Kirito, he also wants the Uchiha clan to integrate into Konoha.
This Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation was indeed a good opportunity to break the ice.
As long as people from the Uchiha clan were allowed to participate in this Nine-Tailed Inheritance Operation and it was successfully completed, then the Uchiha clan would be cleared of the suspicion that they had assisted Uchiha Madara in using the Mangekyo Sharingan to manipulate the Nine-Tailed Inheritance to attack Konoha that year.
At that time, many people within Konoha would definitely change their opinion of the Uchiha clan.
This was the opportunity for the Uchiha clan to integrate into Konoha, ah.
As Hokage, how could he miss this good opportunity.
Teacher had indeed said that he would be wary of the Uchiha clan back then, but he had likewise said that he wished to let the Uchiha clan integrate into Konoha.
What the teacher had not been able to do back then, he as a disciple must strive to accomplish.
This was his Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen's responsibility.
With this thought, Sandaime's heart was filled with a sense of responsibility, once again strengthening his resolve to allow the Uchiha clan to participate in the Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation.
...
"Then what about the Mangekyo Sharingan, Momo herself has said that Lord Mito will soon be gone, once the Uchiha clan once again possesses the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, do you have the confidence to deal with it, you don't want to be overly blindly confident, Hiruzen."
Utatane Koharu saw that Sandaime's mind was made up, yet he still wasn't going to back down and was stubborn.
"Utatane Koharu, have you ever really seen the Mangekyo Sharingan, have you already been scared out of your wits without even seeing it?
And in your eyes, is Konoha that untouchable, are Konoha's juniors that untrustworthy?
Konoha has always been the cradle of genius, and the new Konoha shoots are by no means weak.
Sandaime's three disciples, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, will be the new pillars of Konoha in the future, but do you think that one of them alone will not be able to deal with a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan?
Hatake Sakumo, Kato Dan, they are Konoha's next generation of outstanding ninja, the strength of the Sannin by no means lose, with their presence, Konoha will certainly have the power to deal with the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future.
Moreover, there are also many compatriots in the Uchiha clan who have grown up accepting the Will of Fire, and they are all on Konoha's side."
At that moment, Momo stepped forward and chided loudly.
Utatane Koharu's face changed again and again when she heard this, she wanted to retort, but when she realized that Sandaime was staring at her coldly, she finally let out a cold snort and said in annoyance, "Hiruzen, you will definitely regret this decision of yours in the future."
After saying that, she slammed the door in a huff.
"Hiruzen, Koharu didn't mean any harm, she's just worried about Konoha, don't misunderstand."
Homura Mitokado saw that the big picture had been settled, he simply gave up struggling, and then said something good for Utatane Koharu as an ally.
"Don't worry, I know that was just her angry words, I didn't put my mind at ease."
Sandaime said with an expressionless nod.
However, with his mouth saying so, the icy gaze revealed in his eyes that were looking in the direction of the room's door at that moment had already revealed his inner dissatisfaction with Utatane Koharu.
Seeing this, Homura Mitokado let out a sigh before choosing to take his leave.
The current high-level meeting was not what it used to be after all.
With less Danzo and an extra Senju Momo who wasn't on the same page as them, Sandaime was becoming more and more capricious.
The Sandaime of the past wasn't like this.
"It can't continue like this, if Hiruzen continues to be capricious like this and keeps unlocking the shackles on the evil beast that is the Uchiha clan, sooner or later, he will be revolted by the Uchiha clan ..."
Homura Mitokado worriedly walked out of Hokage's office.
"Momo, let's continue to talk about the matter of letting the Uchiha clan participate in the Nine-Tailed Inheritance operation, some of the details here are still necessary to discuss, the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan is ultimately a hidden danger, if you can do your best to avoid it or to avoid it, you should understand what I mean."
Once Homura Mitokado also left the Hokage's office, Sandaime turned to Momo.
"Of course, after all, there are some scum in every ninja clan, we absolutely cannot allow these scum to have the opportunity to harm Konoha in the future."
Momo's expression instantly chilled and said coldly.
When Sandaime heard this, a pleased smile appeared on his face.
Well said, they absolutely cannot sit on the fact that these scum will have the chance to harm Konoha in the future.
Scum deserved to die!
