Konoha Tatsuno

Muye Village, root base.

sassy sassy~

Figures of people kept flashing in the meeting hall.

On the main seat, Danzo sat quietly.

2 minutes later, more than 200 root ninjas rushed to the hall.

"Sir, everyone is here."

After these root ninjas entered the hall, they all knelt on the ground in rows. The leader waited until everyone arrived and then respectfully reported to Danzo.

"it is good"

Danzo stood up slowly after hearing this.

His eyes swept over the root ninjas below.

Finally, Danzo's eyes rested on a man in a robe beside the leading root ninja.

This Kabuto man is Orochimaru's spy left in Konoha, Yakushi Kabuto.

Danzo looked at Yakushi Kabuto coldly and said, "Kabuto, has the news from Orochimaru been confirmed?"

Yakushi Kabuto heard this and replied respectfully: "Danzo-sama, information has been sent from Lord Orochimaru that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has suffered heavy losses. If Tsunade and Shizune hadn't arrived, Lord Orochimaru would have succeeded.

However, even so, the Third Hokage may not be able to continue to serve as Hokage in the future, and he does not have much time left."

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is the news confirmed to be true?"

Yakushi Kabuto said: "The message from Lord Orochimaru is correct!"

Danzo was silent for tens of seconds after hearing this and then said: "Okay! Act as planned."

With that said, Danzo's figure disappeared into the hall in a flash.

In the hall, a group of root ninjas also followed suit and disappeared.

Naruto Building.

In the Hokage's office, Nara Shikaku, who was appointed by the third generation to take charge of the village's affairs, was handling government affairs at a desk.

Suddenly, several Konoha ninjas hurriedly rushed in and said: "Lord Shikaku, it's not good! All the people at the root are dispatched and are rushing towards the Hokage Building."

"Quick! Notify the Jonin class and the major families immediately."

Nara Shikaku's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly gave instructions to several people.

After the third generation left, Nara Shikaku was worried about chaos in the roots, so he specially arranged for manpower to keep an eye on the movements at the roots.

"Yes"

After hearing this, several Konoha ninjas quickly took the order and left.

A few minutes later, Nara Shikaku summoned dozens of Konoha ninjas in the Hokage Building, and then led them towards the root base.

Uchiha clan.

"Clan leader, it's not good! Shisui and Misuke took a large number of clan members and followed Akimichi Tatsuno to the root base."

Uchiha Inari and Uchiha Tekka hurried into the home of the clan leader Fugaku, shouting anxiously.

The two entered the hall, but unexpectedly found Fugaku sitting quietly at the table drinking tea.

Seeing Fugaku's expression at this time, both of them were stunned and couldn't help but subconsciously saluted: "Clan leader."

Fugaku glanced at the two of them and said softly: "Let's all sit down."

"Yes"

Hearing this, Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inari responded respectfully.

But soon, Uchiha Tiehuo realized that something was wrong. He quickly repeated what he had just said: "Clan leader, Shisui and Misuke, they took a large number of clan members and followed Akimichi Tatsuno to the root base."

Fugaku heard the words and said softly: "What reason did they say?"

The look on Uchiha Tiehuo's face was slightly strange: "It is said that it is a reactionary coup at the root, and they want to help the village suppress the coup."

The Uchiha clan helped the village suppress the coup, which sounded a bit strange.

A few years ago, launching a coup was something the Uchiha clan had always wanted to do.

The situation of the family was completely reversed without even realizing it.

Fugaku said calmly: "Let them go."

"what?"

Hearing Fugaku's words, Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inari were both stunned.

They are very puzzled by the current state of the clan leader Fugaku.

Does the clan leader not care about such an important matter?

Looking at the stunned two people, Fugaku added: "Let them go with this matter. The family's future will only depend on them from now on."

"Patriarch"

Uchiha Tiehuo and Uchiha Inohuo were shocked when they heard this, and opened their mouths to say something else.

However, Fugaku raised his hand and interrupted them: "You don't need to participate in this matter, let them do it."

After a while, Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inari left Fugaku's house with doubts and helplessness on their faces.

On a forest road not far from the Root Base in Konoha Village, Danzo led a large group of Root ninjas towards the Hokage Building.

sassy sassy~

A series of sounds broke through the air, and Nara Shikaku rushed over with dozens of ANBU ninjas.

"Lord Danzo, what do you mean?"

Nara Shikaku stared at Danzo with a solemn expression and asked word by word.

"Shikaku, the third generation was attacked by Shenting on his way to attend the Five Shadows Conference. He is no longer able to host the next Five Shadows Conference.

In order to preserve the majesty of the Fire Country and Konoha, the Daimyo has ordered me to be appointed to handle this matter and temporarily take over as Hokage until the Third Generation is restored."

Danzo took out the appointment document from his arms, then unfolded it towards Nara Shikaku and said.

Looking at the appointment document in Danzo's hand, Nara Shikaku's expression changed slightly.

For a long time, the game between the fire country's daimyo and Konoha's Hokage faction has never stopped.

In the first and second generations, due to the strength of Naruto, this trend was not yet obvious.

After the third generation came to the throne, secret contests between the two became more frequent.

Now the other party has used Danzo's influence to extend his hand directly into Konoha.

Once Danzo ascends to the position of Hokage under the direct appointment of the Fire Country daimyo, it will be difficult for the future Hokage of Konoha Village not to be influenced by the Fire Country daimyo.

And, more importantly, Danzo was able to produce the appointment letter for the Fire Country Daimyo at this time, which was obviously premeditated.

Now, Nara Shikaku is more worried about the safety of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In Konoha, Danzo, who has been in charge of the root for a long time, has huge influence on the advisory elders and major families.

With the Third Hokage Yuan Fei Hiruzen around, he might be able to prevent Danzo from ascending to the throne.

But if something really happened to the Third Hokage Yuan Fei Hiruzen, Nara Shikaku and others alone would not be able to stop Danzo.

Nara Shikaku was anxious, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

sassy sassy~

Just as he was thinking hard about countermeasures, two more piercing sounds sounded behind him.

The two consultant elders, Mito Monohan and Koharu Kaden, actually arrived before the vast majority of people.

"Shikaku, the third generation was attacked by the Divine Court on the road, and his death is unknown. In order to maintain the operation of the village and send people back to host the Five Shadows Conference in time, we must confirm a new acting Hokage as soon as possible to handle the matter.

Danzo's appointment letter with his name is here, why are you still stopping here? "

As soon as the two arrived, Mito Kadoyan said solemnly to Nara Shikaku.

Obviously, Danzo had already been angry with the two of them before coming.

Mito Kadeni and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, also obviously supported Danzo.
