Chapter 397 People are ambitious, and ambition will expand.
The Third Hokage and Senju Hashirama have always been worried that the influence of the ninja family is too great, which will hinder the development of the village.
Their ideas are good, but unfortunately they are not realistic.
Because in Konoha, civilian ninjas only have an advantage against various families in terms of numbers.
Moreover, among those who had the numerical advantage, most of them were genin.
They are those genin who are not talented enough and whose strength is difficult to continue to improve.
In layman's terms, they are cannon fodder.
In such a situation, it is very difficult for you to suppress the ninja family.
It is true that civilian ninjas should be supported, but they cannot be cut off in one fell swoop, training civilian ninjas regardless, and blindly suppressing ninja families.
To be honest, the voice of Konoha has always been in the hands of the ninja family.
The former Senju, after the Senju became civilians, they became families like Sarutobi and Shimura.
Now, the rotation has begun again.
The idea of infinitely weakening the influence of the ninja family is simply unreliable. The only thing that can be done is balance.
The ninja family cannot stretch their hands too far, and civilian ninjas can also support them, and even give some elders seats.
Anyway, the purpose of this thing is basically just a status symbol.
There are only a few elders who truly hold power.
As for the ninja family, as long as one family does not dominate, the situation in Konoha cannot be changed.
Senju Tobirama is determined to make the Senju clan a commoner, precisely because the number of ambitious people in the family is gradually increasing.
Many people even think that the position of Hokage should belong exclusively to the Senju clan.
It's a pity that above these people sits a Senju Tobirama who is ruthless and won't even let him go.
"Yan, do you know the past of the Thousand Hands Clan?"
Tsunade, who was already a little drunk, signaled Shizune and Izumi to go back first. She had something to talk to Yan.
"I've heard of it a bit, and it's also in some of the family's documentary records."
Yan raised her eyebrows. She knew what Tsunade wanted to express. She was simply afraid that the balance would be broken, resulting in the emergence of a second Senju clan.
Shizune and Izumi left obediently. They knew that what Tsunade and Hiko would talk about next was no longer something they could just listen to.
It's better to leave early, eat and drink enough, go home and have a good sleep, and continue working tomorrow.
"Goooooo!!!"
Tsunade took a few sips of wine, as if she were drinking boiled water. Seeing Yan's eyelids twitching, this girl recalled the past, and it seemed that she was not in a good mood.
"People's ambitions will expand, and the Thousand Hands Clan is no exception. If the voices within the family were not too loud, the Thousand Hands Clan would not have embarked on the path of civilianization."
Tsunade intermittently told some past events about the Senju clan.
She had experienced most of these things, even when she was very young at that time. Later, Uzumaki Mito also deepened her memories a lot.
Kazuhiko guessed and added that the ambitions of the few members of the Senju clan have become bigger, and they are no longer satisfied with the requirements for Hokage candidates.
I want the family to inherit the position of Hokage hereditary, and the Senju clan occupies various positions in the village, just like the Sarutobi clan a few years ago, or even more exaggerated than the Sarutobi clan.
This has shaken the development of Konoha. After all, in Konoha at that time, various departments were not as complete as they are now.
The Senju clan will divide most of it, but what about other clans and civilian ninjas?
Rather than saying that Senju Tobirama was evil-minded in attacking the family, it would be better to say that he was forced to raise a knife against the family.
Tsunade's story was a little vague, even a bit inconsistent.
After all, he was drunk, had a big tongue, and was not very clear-headed, but Yan was able to sort out the information he wanted from these words.
"You said... hiccup, will this happen again?"
"Won't."
Yan replied lightly, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly:
"As long as no one breaks this balance, Konoha's development can be maintained stably."
In today's Konoha, there is no longer a place for a certain family to grow to be as powerful as the Senju of the past.
Even if Hiko is already sitting in a high position and has become the Hokage's assistant, even if he kicks Tsunade down and sits in the Hokage's position, Uchiha will not be able to grow to this point.
Besides, Hiko wouldn't let Uchiha grow up so arrogantly.
Uchiha and Hinata just need to develop honestly and maintain their status as a big family in the village.
Otherwise, it is impossible to get them to reach out.
Furthermore, neither Uchiha nor Hinata were suitable to step into the inner circle.
Tsunade is right, people's ambitions are unlimited, and once they taste the sweetness, their ambitions will continue to expand.
This is also the reason why Yan has not let Uchiha and Hinata send people to important positions over the past few years.
Apart from being inappropriate, it is just to prevent someone from getting bloated.
In another year or two, Itachi may be able to be pulled up. Itachi has not gone astray, but he is different from other Uchiha people. He has the potential to become the second Senju Tobirama.
These two people have a lot in common. They are both geniuses and have been indifferent and steady since childhood.
The most important thing is that at critical moments, they can also be very evil.
"So, be your Hokage and don't think about these messy things."
"Can it really be stable?"
"More real than pearls!"
"No matter what happens, you won't be the worst Hokage, so just put your worries back in your stomach and eat meat and drink wine."
Grandpa and second grandpa are both Hokage, and both are well-known Hokage in the ninja world. They need strength and means, and when they get to Tsunade, her pressure becomes infinite.
Tsunade is not afraid of others comparing her with the Third Hokage. After all, she has only been a Hokage for a few years. What she is really afraid of is comparing her with the Senju Hashirama brothers.
She was also afraid that others would say that she was the worst Hokage in Konoha's history.
In fact, Tsunade thought too much. As long as Konoha remained so stable, the worst evaluation would definitely not fall on him. After all, there was still a poor Minato at the bottom, and the Third Hokage who was pulled down.
Speaking of which, Minato was really pitiful. He fell into disgrace before he could secure his position as Hokage. The most important thing was that during the period when he became Hokage, he still couldn't get his rights back. This was so embarrassing.
A third Hokage, a Danzo, and two advisor elders had him stuck.
Unlike Tsunade, who already had everything in hand before she became Hokage. In comparison, Minato was really miserable.
Let alone Konoha, if all the Kage from the five major ninja villages were included in the comparison, Minato would probably be at the bottom.
Some of the Kage from other villages met a miserable end. At least they had been in power for a long time and had the power. Unlike Minato, who could only stare blankly and had to consult the Third Hokage and consult with the two advisor elders on everything.
