Chapter 2: Hiruzen's Thoughts
" Sarutobi Hiruzen's POV"
Hokage Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen connects Konoha's village protection barrier through the crystal ball.
"Ninja · Telescope Technique!"
This is him, known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu", who people knows that he invented many advanced ninjutsu, but really he stole many of other clan's old jutsus and named his.
This Jutsu is of Hyuga clan during his Sensei Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Sarutobi Hiruzen relies on this technique to spy and keep his eyes all around the Konoha village.
"First of all, the Uchiha family..."
In the crystal ball, the scene in the Uchiha tribe is presented.
There is happening a duel between two
"Hmph~ Girl, go and play with your dolls and paper, ninjutsu is not for girls.
The young boy said to the other girl.
"Don't underestimate me!"
The girl started sealing her hands
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A small fire was released from the girl's mouth but it was quite extraordinary for her age.
The boy's face changed because he has just few days ago refined chakra so he doesn't know to avoid it.
An elder came forward and performed a water style ninjutsu to dispel it.
"The winner, Uchiha Mikoto..."
"Has such a young child started training?"
"Sure enough, they are a group of ambitious guys..."
A deep look appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
Since the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan has become the No. 1 clan of Konoha.
There are many ninja elites in the clan, and there are many young and fresh talents also.
If left unchecked, the Uchiha clan may threaten Hokage's rule in the future!
He Continued to use the crystal ball to spy around the Uchiha tribe and noted the names of those talented juniors...
"Next, let's take a look at Senju."
Sarutobi Hiruzen adjusted the crystal ball's surveillance target.
The clan of the Senju clan.
There he can see her student Tsunade teaching her brother.
"Be serious with me!"
"Yes~"
Under Tsunade's Iron Fist supervision.
Nawaki reluctantly began to practice the knot with both hands.
Each seal corresponds to a different Chakra meridian in the body.
The flow of Chakra can be adjusted by a different order of knots called tenketsu, to activate different ninjutsus.
"Nawaki's performance is quite satisfactory..."
"But he is the grandson of Lord First Generation. From the perspective of blood, he will not be an ordinary kid!"
After watching for a while.
He then transferred the picture of the crystal ball to the courtyard.
"Water Style Water Barrier!"
The boy Akuma spat out a large stream of water from his mouth.
A wall of water formed in front of him.
Then, by changing the fingerprints, the water wall is turned into a ring-shaped barrier, and a 360-degree defense is carried out!
"Have he learned the Grade B Water Style so quickly?"
"And it's the improved version of the Sensei and, his sealing is quite fast."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.
on the screen.
Akuma after practicing Water Style.
Holding a Short Sword, he began to practice swordsmanship.
Facing a wooden stake in the yard, he practiced the most basic knife swing seriously.
Water Style and Konoha-style swordsmanship are all unique skills of Senju Tobirama during his lifetime.
"It seems that this kid Akuma has inherited Sensei's talent very well."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.
This is also expected.
After all, it is the descendant his Sensei. If his qualifications are mediocre, it will be abnormal and unsatisfactory.!
However, based on current observations.
His talent is good, but not beyond the norm.
Everything is in his control...
Yet what Sarutobi Hiruzen could not have known was.
What he spied on was only the Shadow Clone that Akuma left for spied upon by him.
The real body, hidden in the enchantment woven by Kidō, carries out the practice of Shinigami!
Sarutobi Hiruzen peeked again, the other Senju clan juniors.
But soon lost interest...
"Senju's collateral clan, the bloodline is weak."
"Sure enough, they are just ordinary people with mediocre qualifications."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked indifferent.
His sensei, Senju Tobirama, taught him the politics
The Third Hokage position of Sarutobi Hiruzen was designated by Senju Tobirama!
Because the previous two Hokages were from the Senju family.
The long-term rule has made the prestige of the Senju family in Konoha unparalleled!
This also affected the peace and many people from big clan's were unsatisfied and, no one in the Senju clan was a good option for the next generation of Hokage so he choosed Hiruzen.
in the current era.
Sarutobi Hiruzen fears the Senju clan even more than the Uchiha clan!
Therefore, he adopted a series of policies to weaken the influence of the Senju clan.
As mentioned earlier, the expropriation of Senju's clan land is just one of the "more moderate" methods.
In the war, he deliberately sent ninjas from the Senju clan to the front line to serve as cannon fodder to die in battle.
Tsunade and Nawaki's parents, as well as Akuma's father, were killed in the war.
In the Bent Light enchantment...
Akuma's POV

With his all-round talent, he has no shortcomings in any of them.
Skill proficiency is steadily improving.
