In particular, Kawasaki Uchiha's revelation forced the Third Hokage to relinquish power as soon as possible.
It's impossible to handle it like the fourth generation.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru didn't actually care about power.
But how did Kawasaki know all this?
The Third Hokage felt he had suffered a great loss, but thankfully Orochimaru was on his side, preventing a complete defeat.
The question now is who will replace Xiaochun and Menyan in their positions.
Orochimaru, however, already had an idea and said:
"I have decided to appoint Hizashi and Shikaku as advisors and elders."
"Hisashi is in charge of managing the mission system, and Shikaku is in charge of the medical system."
"Daily deviation? Not daily auspiciousness?" the Third Hokage asked in confusion.
Orochimaru revealed an unfathomable smile and said, "Hizashi is from a branch family."
The third generation understood after a little thought.
The branch families of the Hyuga clan usually find it difficult to gain power, as the main family always suppresses them.
Even if Nichisa gains control of the task management, it will be difficult for him to truly help the branch family rise to prominence.
It would be different if it were given to the main family. The main family is too conservative and wouldn't actively participate in the mission.
Giving them more power will only lead to greater corruption and more severe exploitation.
However, distributing power among the Hyuga clan can also increase their loyalty to Konoha.
As for letting Lu Jiu manage the medical system, that's also a good option.
The Nara family is skilled in herb cultivation, possesses extensive medical knowledge, and is intelligent, not power-hungry, and knows when to advance and retreat.
The Third Hokage thought with satisfaction, "Orochimaru's political skills are indeed superb."
What are your thoughts on the Uchiha clan?
Orochimaru smiled confidently:
"Grandpa, you're terrified of the Uchiha."
"If you pay close attention, you'll notice that Uchiha Kawasaki is extremely cautious."
"Or rather, they value their lives very much and never want to have a direct conflict with us."
"It's all because you were too hasty and fell into his trap."
“I now own the resources of the entire village, and I have also taken control of his best restaurant business.”
"The Uchiha clan has very few members, while our Konoha village has a huge population."
"In the end, they will be no match for me in terms of either people or resources, so why bother to deal with them?"
The third generation seemed to be deep in thought after hearing these words.
Kakashi's house.
Training Course.
Bang! Bang! ...
Amidst the dull thuds of impact, two figures, one in black and one in green, were locked in fierce combat.
when!...
Kakashi kicked with all his might, sending Gai staggering back several steps.
Matt Kai held up a finger, his teeth gleaming.
"As expected of my greatest rival in this lifetime, Kakashi, you've improved a lot recently!"
Might Guy was genuinely happy for Kakashi's progress.
Recently, Kakashi has stopped avoiding him and has even taken the initiative to challenge him to sparring, and even welcomed him to his home for a challenge.
They were just warming up.
"Kai, thank you for coming over. How's your class doing lately?"
Kakashi asked Gai while doing stretching exercises.
If you're looking for a good sparring partner, Kai is definitely the one.
Kai was also very willing to be Kakashi's sparring partner.
Kakashi today is no longer the same Kakashi who could beat Guy by resorting to tricks and schemes.
Instead, he was genuinely improving his own strength to compete with Kai.
Kai, who was also doing leg stretches nearby, replied:
"Neji, Tenten, and Lee have gone to the Uchiha clan for practical training."
I learn a lot every day, so I have time to come here and spend time with you.
Kakashi knew about the Uchiha clan's actions and assumed they were part of an event to elect the Fifth Hokage.
"Now that Orochimaru has become the Fifth Hokage, is the Uchiha clan still doing this?"
Kai nodded and said:
"Yes, they still conduct practical training every day, and many genin have improved a lot as a result."
"So, the Uchiha clan did do something good for the village after all."
As a genius ninja, Kakashi joined the Anbu relatively early and didn't know much about such matters.
However, he was well aware of the lack of practical experience among recent graduates and newly promoted genin.
"Kakashi, why don't you consider teaching a newbie?"
As Kai rapidly performed push-ups on the ground, he asked:
"You know, youth is about passing on the passion!"
Kakashi shook his head and said:
“I’ve wasted too much time, I must hurry up and improve my skills.”
Thinking of Obito, the Third Hokage, and his own father and his last wishes...
Kai knew very well about Kaka 013 West, and knew how strict he was with himself and how intense his daily training was.
As the person who pesters him to spar every day, Guy is most sensitive to Kakashi's recent changes.
Kakashi no longer visits the memorial stone, nor does he accept any missions anymore.
After his eyesight was restored, Kakashi focused more on using swordsmanship in battle, while ninjutsu became a secondary means.
Kakashi's physical skills are improving rapidly.
In his eyes, Kai no longer saw confusion and emptiness, but instead determination and murderous intent.
Kai greatly appreciated this attitude.
This kind of self-imposed pressure is so similar to my own.
The warm-up is over.
"But Kakashi, I already won one round last time."
"We're even now!"
"Let's continue the battle we haven't finished today!"
"Still comparing actual combat!?"
Kakashi on the other side shook his head and said:
"If it's a real fight, let's have it another time."
"This time, let's change the content."
He said to Kai:
"I've come up with a new way to compete!"
Kai clapped his fists together and said confidently:
"What kind of event? Physical combat? 100-meter sprint? Mountain climbing? Diving?"
"Even if you can eat more than me, that's fine with me!"
Kakashi lightly tapped the back of his head and said, "Let's see who can touch the back of the other's neck first!"
"The rule is that whoever touches the back of the other's neck first wins."
Chapter 229 Youth! Kawasaki! Sasuke!
"Of course, if you can catch the opponent's attacking wrist, that also counts as a victory."
"Oh!"
Kai's eyes lit up!
This competition sounds interesting!
"This is a test of observation skills and reaction speed!"
"Come on! Blue Beast of Konoha, accept the challenge!"
"If I lose, I'll run 500 laps around Konoha Village while doing a handstand!"
Kakashi didn't find the suggestion strange.
Instead, they added a sentence:
"If I lose, I'll slash five thousand times!"
Their eyes met, and they each saw the other's determination!
Kakashi gave the order: "Begin!"
Two figures instantly approached each other!
