The various families that originally formed the village out of self-interest were also brought under his skillful rule and made obedient.
And thus began his own deified rule.
This so-called "strongest Hokage" even rose to the status of "God of Shinobi" in Naruto's generation.
It's important to know that the title "God of Shinobi" was bestowed upon Hashirama Senju by the ninja world because of his unparalleled and invincible strength.
In contrast, Hiruzen Sarutobi has virtually no notable achievements.
It went through three Shinobi World Wars.
Before becoming Hokage, he was a disciple of the Second Hokage, following his teacher into battle.
After becoming Hokage, he never even stepped out of the village.
Ha, the strongest CJB in the Void.
He called himself "Dr. Ninjutsu," but in reality, he didn't invent any particularly amazing ninjutsu.
He called himself the "Professor of Ninjutsu" and taught the three legendary Sannin. Jiraiya only became powerful after learning the Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku. Orochimaru was a genius and could have become just as powerful with a different teacher. Tsunade was a direct descendant of the Senju clan.
Putting aside the talent bonus brought by her bloodline, Tsunade is good at taijutsu and medical ninjutsu.
It has little to do with you, an ordinary Five Elements ninja.
To put it simply, all he did was lay a solid foundation for three ninjas who were destined to be exceptionally strong.
Chapter 139 The Lies of Capitalism
Everything about Hiruzen Sarutobi was fabricated.
He is a god of nothingness.
His only real achievement was being willing to allocate top-tier resources like the Flying Thunder God Technique to top talents like Minato Namikaze.
Thus, a so-called "hero" was created under his guidance of the Will of Fire.
The "heroes" bound by this enslaved ideology of the Will of Fire are merely his most useful tools.
Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, was the "hero" before Minato Namikaze, and also a useful tool for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
During a mission, Sakumo Hatake abandoned the village's interests in order to save his comrades.
He proposed the idea that "companions are more important than the task."
When a tool develops its own thoughts, it ceases to be a useful tool.
Naturally, Konoha's White Fang fell from being a "hero" into the mire.
Was Hiruzen Sarutobi afraid that Sakumo Hatake's reputation was too great and that he would compete with him for the right to be Hokage?
Thinking that way is a gross underestimation of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Minato Namikaze, a hero who was widely expected to become the Fourth Hokage, was completely sidelined by the Hokage, and after taking office, he didn't even have his own dedicated Anbu.
Do we have to listen to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in everything?
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, so-called heroes are always just tools to be manipulated by him.
Even if it is Sakumo Hatake or someone else who takes power, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has already completed his "totalitarian" rule and enslaved the Will of Fire, still has ways to sideline him.
What Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly worried about was that the Will of Fire he had painstakingly built up would be challenged by the ideas of someone like White Fang.
You, Konoha's White Fang, are a tool under my control, and a candidate for the next Hokage.
He was also wearing a Hokage short-sleeved shirt, a symbol of his identity.
And then you sacrifice the interests of the village to save an individual?
Instead of using the nutrients meant to nourish the roots and trunk, they use them to nourish the leaves that are destined to burn and become nutrients.
If those who are merely tools for the leaves begin to worry about the safety of other leaves, then who will burn themselves to provide nourishment and light for the ruling class, the roots?
After doing such a thing, they don't repent or realize that their thoughts were wrong.
You're going to dig up the roots of the Will of Fire that I painstakingly planted for the other leaves!
This behavior is tantamount to openly declaring in the United States that one hates a "transgender lesbian black vegetarian".
This absolutely violates the political correctness of Konoha Village!
Therefore, even the ninja who was saved by Sakumo Hatake ended up blaming him.
He said, "I am willing to die for the village. I want to turn into a leaf and burn myself to illuminate the roots of the tree."
Your act of saving me was meddling in other people's business and harmed the interests of the village. You are a traitor to the village!
This is the transformation of the Will of Fire from taming to enslavement!
For example, the so-called Fourth Hokage.
Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, is the perfect tool, a completely obedient version of Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha.
In the end, he died as a hero in the position of Hokage.
Another example is the issue of the Uchiha clan being wiped out.
Itachi Uchiha became the new tool.
Although it is inextricably linked to the fact that Uchiha Fugaku was a good-for-nothing, Uchiha Shisui was mentally unstable, and Uchiha Daxiaozi was even cerebral palsy.
Uchiha Itachi also became Hiruzen Sarutobi's hero.
Usability report.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wished he could say something to Itachi Uchiha.
Itachi, my Superman.
All those who were truly brainwashed by the Will of Fire and were willing to believe in it eventually became slaves to the Will of Fire.
The essence of the Will of Fire is essentially a community of interests formed by the various powerful groups in Konoha Village. Each family must sign a contract, and these contracts constitute the Will of Fire.
It implements a three-track system.
That is, the roots absorb nutrients, the trunk and branches transfer nutrients, and the leaves consume a small portion of the nutrients to grow, and then absorb light to nourish the trunk and roots.
Fallen leaves become fuel, burning into flames to serve as a source of photosynthesis.
They dedicate everything to the new leaves.
Of these three, the leaves represent successive generations of ordinary ninjas.
As ninjas, they gave their all under the guidance of Hiruzen Sarutobi's Will of Fire.
It transforms into nutrients to nourish other leaves and roots that grow freely underground.
The roots of the tree represent the highest ruling class, such as the Hokage and the Daimyo. They don't need to do anything; they can continuously absorb the nutrients provided by the leaves and grow freely.
The tree trunk represents the various families and nobles, who are secondary rulers.
While transporting nutrients from the leaves to the roots, they also divert some of them for their own growth.
As for the villagers and other beings who are neither the ruling class nor ninjas, they are merely a piece of soil where trees can grow freely and are endlessly exploited.
Perhaps few of these people who grew up in this environment can truly understand what the so-called Will of Fire really is.
However, Xia Yan, who had received higher education, was not so easily fooled.
The Will of Fire is nothing but a capitalist lie! (I'm certain of it)
In fact, Xia Yan had known these things for a long time, but he had not thought about them in depth.
After all, none of this had anything to do with him before.
However, since he has already decided to become Hokage, he can't just ignore it.
After all, although his becoming Hokage was a bet with Tsunade, there were other, deeper considerations behind it.
For example, concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks.
In this way, it cannot become an empty shell like the Watergate.
The most important thing to do to achieve this is to possess great power.
Perhaps the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Sakumo Hatake could all become my allies...
Just as Xia Yan was already planning in his mind how to build a new interest group around himself and how to build a new Konoha after becoming Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi also ended his "Will of Fire" brainwashing class.
After leaving Minato Namikaze behind, he gestured to Natsuhiko and Kushina that they could leave.
Xia Yan, who had been waiting impatiently for some time, naturally didn't linger. After saying goodbye to the Third Generation, he left.
Seeing this, Kushina followed suit and greeted him as well, then happily chased after Xia Yan.
Chapter 140 Taking a Mission to Clear My Mind
"Lord Xia Yan! Wait for me, Lord Xia Yan!"
Just as he left the Hokage Building, Xia Yan heard Kushina calling to him from behind.
"Hmm? Is there anything else, Kushina?"
Xia Yan asked with some confusion.
He knew that Kushina had been following him, but he didn't think much of it.
After all, both of them were preparing to leave the Hokage Building, so passing through was perfectly normal.
"Lord Xia Yan, I've come to thank you! It was too late yesterday, so I couldn't express my gratitude to you! As a token of my appreciation, let me treat you to dinner!"
As she spoke, Kushina blushed and looked at Natsuhiko with anticipation.
Clearly, his real intention was not what it seemed.
However, seeing that Kushina, though not yet fully grown, already possessed remarkable beauty, Natsuhiko decided to give her this opportunity.
“Since Kushina is treating, then I won’t stand on ceremony!” Xia Yan said with a warm smile. “And if it’s Kushina, you can just call me by my name.”
"Eh? It's you! Xia Yan-kun!"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's answer, Kushina was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.
It's obvious that little girls are easy to fool.
