Sasuke's smile hadn't even fully blossomed yet.
Boom!
Sasuke was stunned when he was hit on the back of the head.
He turned around in a daze and found Itachi standing behind him.
Itachi, who was standing in front of Sasuke, turned into smoke and disappeared.
Those two were shadow clones!?
Outside the venue, Kawasaki had arrived at some point.
Seeing Sasuke's clever trick backfire and be countered by Itachi, he burst out laughing.
"You've got a lot of clever ideas."
Sasuke was already feeling a bit down, and Kawasaki's words made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Master, what brings you here?"
Kawasaki walked into the venue and said:
"Let's see how Itachi plays ninja games with you."
Sasuke rubbed his still numb left hand and said with dissatisfaction:
“My brother and I have been playing for quite a while, how can you say it’s a ninja game?”
Itachi remained silent, but his expression showed satisfaction.
Sasuke's progress has completely exceeded his expectations, and he is already very satisfied.
Kawasaki shook his finger and said:
"Itachi has been practicing moves with you from beginning to end, you just didn't know it."
Sasuke asked, dumbfounded, "Sparring partner?"
"Brother? You didn't use your full strength just now?"
Itachi said with a smile:
"Sasuke, your strength is quite impressive."
After all, you didn't bring any ninja tools, you couldn't even use Chidori.
Sasuke, of course, understood, and he was truly frustrated.
"Why can't I beat my brother even though I have the three-tomoe gem?"
Kawasaki ruffled Sasuke's hair and said:
"Because the Sharingan is only an aid; true power comes from within oneself."
Sasuke recalled Itachi's taijutsu from earlier; even if he could see it clearly, he couldn't catch it.
I understand a little better now.
Later in Konoha Village, although it was not explicitly prohibited.
However, the villagers no longer casually discuss the Fifth Hokage, at least not in public places.
If someone with a carefree attitude brings up this topic, their relatives and friends will cover their mouths.
Public opinion, rumors (which are good), and a whole host of other things.
You need to have enough strength before you can even speak.
Danzo could claim that he was doing everything for Konoha.
Because he was an elder, he had countless cold-blooded killers under his command.
But if you, a commoner, say something like that in QQ group 817, you're not far from death.
Everyone knows that the Sarutobi clan is not a family with a special bloodline, and when the village was founded many years ago, the number of people was not large.
The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha jointly established Konoha, and the Sarutobi clan joined later.
In just over sixty years, the Sarutobi clan has grown more than tenfold.
Although most of the 129 Jonin were nominal positions, they were paid without actually working.
But Kawasaki knew that the number of Sarutobi clan ninjas far exceeded everyone's expectations.
There are over a thousand Chunin alone. These members of the Sarutobi clan are scattered throughout the Land of Fire and never gather together when carrying out missions.
The Sarutobi clan, as revealed in this election, is just the tip of the iceberg.
Chapter 225 Without Kawasaki, the Uchiha clan will surely be wiped out!
Kawasaki publicly checked the tickets on stage simply to let everyone know that the third generation had been receiving salaries without working.
There's still a lot more to discover.
The third generation was already about to step down, and exposing these things at this time will only tarnish his reputation in his later years.
others
You can't do much.
But that's exactly what Kawasaki's goal was.
A highly respected and retired Third Hokage.
To retire with someone involved in political corruption and suspected of manipulating elections.
The two have different levels of influence.
At least under pressure from the elders, the Third Hokage had to readily relinquish power.
Otherwise, they will be attacked by the masses.
Kawasaki's reason for wanting to completely expose the third generation is very simple.
He wants to expose the Third Hokage's hypocritical mask!
The Third Hokage was a truly cunning and ruthless person.
Although Danzo has cooperated with the Third Hokage over the years, he has also secretly betrayed him, and the two have always been engaged in political struggles.
But Danzo always did things secretly, not daring to let the Third Hokage find out.
The third generation did bad things, but you still think it has nothing to do with him.
Danzo's only victory was perhaps in framing the infant experimental subjects.
And they concealed the fact that Tianzang was a successful experimental subject.
During the years that the Third Hokage was in charge, the whereabouts of a lot of funds are unknown.
013
For example, where did Kushina and the Fourth Hokage's legacy go?
Why did the Senju clan's vast wealth disappear without a trace?
How many years did the Sarutobi clan continue to embezzle salaries without working?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the Sarutobi clan could have grown to such a large population.
Konoha is one of the largest villages among the Five Great Nations.
The lives of ordinary people are still quite stable, compared to some war-torn small countries or barren places like Sunagakure.
The happiness index of Konoha villagers can be said to be very high.
From the time the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, took office until now.
Among the general public, the Third Hokage enjoyed a very high reputation.
After all, their village was happier than other villages.
As for Nawaki, Dan died, Shiroga died, the Fourth Generation died, and Kushina died.
Such things are too far removed from their lives, and they don't really matter to them.
They were only saddened when the fourth generation died.
But most people were still immersed in grief and resentment over the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.
The Third Hokage controlled a large number of Anbu (secret militia units).
They listen to all the voices of ordinary people.
Any discordant elements will be extinguished immediately.
Most of the villagers were ignorant and blindly obedient.
Under the control of public opinion, there is singing and dancing every day.
(bfff) Danzo was not only inferior to the Hokage while alive, but also inferior to the Hokage after death.
It's simple, because he looks like a bad guy.
As long as he shows up in Konoha a few more times.
If anything bad happens, pin it on him; you can't go wrong.
Truly evil people are like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who are treacherous yet appear loyal.
He has a kind and approachable appearance, and seems to always think of others.
Everyone in Konoha trusted him completely.
But if you dig deeper, you'll find that Hiruzen Sarutobi is not a simple person.
Let's leave aside what happened in the last few decades.
Recently, if Kawasaki weren't around, the Uchiha clan would have been wiped out.
Everyone knows that Root and Obito were involved in the extermination of the clan.
But that's not the point.
It was two years before the Uchiha clan was massacred.
Danzo, fearing the power of the Uchiha clan, attacked Shisui and stole his right eye.
