Konoha Tatsuno

after one day.

Outside Konoha Village.

On a dirt road, Tsunade and Shizune were helping the third generation move forward quickly, one on the left and the other on the right.

This is the result of three generations of constant urging.

After experiencing the battle with Orochimaru, the already elderly Sandai was sealed away by the ghoul and absorbed a lot of life force.

In just a few days, Sandai looked at least ten years older.

Tsunade was originally going to take Sandai to a nearby town to recuperate for a while, but Sandai asked her to take him back to Konoha quickly.

The third generation has clearly felt that his body can no longer adapt to the role of Hokage.

He must rush back to Konoha as soon as possible to do what he told him.

Moreover, the corpses of more than ten root ninjas deliberately left behind by the member of the Divine Court also gave the third generation a bad premonition.

There must be something to do with Danzo behind the matter.

Without him in charge, can Shikaku suppress Danzo?

Regarding this, the third generation was very worried and doubtful.

From a distance, the Sandaime, who was being supported by Tsunade and the two men, saw Konoha in front of him.

At the entrance of the village, two Konoha ninjas were guarding one on the left and one on the right.

It seemed as if the village had changed little from when he left.

"It's Hokage-sama who's back."

Two Konoha ninjas also saw Tsunade and the Third Generation, and one of them said in surprise.

"I'm going to greet the Hokage. You quickly go to inform the Hokage building."

Another guarding ninja also said happily.

After saying that, he jumped up and quickly rushed towards Sandai and the others.

10 minutes later, in the Hokage's office.

The third generation with an old face and frail body sat on the Hokage's seat, with a dull look on his face.

Danzo is dead!

The roots were directly uprooted!

Two of the village's advisors, Mito Monohan and Koharu Koharu, were imprisoned.

It was Tatsuno who led the Uchiha clan members from the police department who did it, and Nara Shikaku led some of the ANBU and Jonin class ninjas who were directly under the Hokage also participated in the matter.

Sandai heard the shocking news as soon as he came back.

A lot of things that Danzo and Nebe have done over the years have definitely slipped somewhat out of the third generation's control.

He was also very dissatisfied with some of Danzo's past events.

But Sandai never thought of taking the life of his old friend.

He couldn't make up his mind either!

In the heart of the third generation, at best, he only wants to restrict Danzo and dismantle the roots.

And now, Tatsuno has made a choice for him.

The matter was resolved in the most direct and brutal way.

Danzo and Genbe are gone!

After sitting in silence for a long time, Sandai said in a hoarse voice: "What is everyone's reaction to this matter?"

In the room, Nara Shikaku said respectfully: "The major ninja clans in the village and the ANBU and jounin class ninjas involved in the battle have all remained silent about this, and no one has expressed their opinion on this matter.

The ordinary people and ninjas in the village don’t know about this yet because of the news blockade.”

Three generations are silent.

After hearing what Nara Shikaku said, Sandai truly realized Tatsuno's influence on the village and how bad Danzo and Nebe's reputation was in the village.

Except for Mito Kabuto and Koharu Koharu, no one was willing to stand up and speak for Danzo and Nebe throughout the whole process.

This even includes Danzo’s own clan, the Shimura clan!

At this moment, Sandai felt a little sad in his heart.

Feeling sad for himself and Danzo.

Over the years, he and Danzo had cooperated overtly and covertly to do so many things for the village.

The final result was that he was not understood at all by other people in the village.

So what is the meaning of all that they have done and maintained over the years?

After another long silence, Sandai spoke tiredly again: "In the end, did Tatsuno have anything to say about this matter?"

Nara Shikaku said respectfully: "He proposed that Lady Tsunade should take over the position of the Fifth Hokage."

"It's Tsunade? He really said that."

Sandai's voice was full of surprise.

Nara Shikaku nodded and said, "Yes."

After a short pause, the third generation shook his head and said: "Tsunade has been away from the village these years. It is difficult to persuade her to take over the position of Hokage!"

Nara Shikaku said: "Tatsuno said he would find a solution for this matter."

The third generation waved his hand and said: "What can he do? It's better for me to persuade her personally. Find a way to inform Jiraiya and ask him to rush back to Konoha as soon as possible."

"Yes"

Nara Shikaku respectfully accepted the order and left.

When leaving, his steps were lighter.

In the Hokage's office, the third generation sighed softly and said: "Old friend, you can go in peace!"

Uchiha tribe, Fugaku family.

In the living room, Fugaku knelt at the head and Itachi knelt below him on his left side.

"Itachi, did you go out a few days ago?"

Fugaku's deep voice sounded in the room.

"Yes, father" Itachi replied respectfully.

"For what?"

Fugaku's eyes were slightly narrowed, looking a little deep.

Hearing this, Itachi paused and said, "The captain has arranged for me to go out on a mission."

"Akimichi Tatsuno?" Fugaku murmured in a low voice.

There was a brief silence in the room.

After a moment, Fugaku's voice sounded again: "You also joined the organization behind him?"

Itachi's body trembled, and he looked up at his father.

Facing Itachi's gaze, Fugaku's face was calm and he said in a calm voice: "His rise is too fast! How could his strength increase so quickly without the support of other forces behind him?"

Itachi was speechless.

Fugaku continued: "What will happen to the Uchiha clan and Konoha in the future?"

Itachi said: "Brother Tatsuno once said that he would bring Konoha to the top of the ninja world. He would personally end this chaotic world, and we, the Uchiha clan, will also become a glorious clan."

Fugaku murmured: "The glorious clan?"

After a few seconds of silence, Fugaku asked again: "Who is the owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Itachi shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Seeing this, Fugaku's eyes flashed slightly.

Looking at his father opposite who seemed to have no intention of speaking anymore, Itachi stood up, bowed to him, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Walking to the door of the room, Fugaku's voice sounded behind him.

"Itachi, go tell Shisui and Misuke that no matter what they decide, I will fully support them."

"Yes"

Itachi paused slightly, responded, and then stepped away.

After Itachi's figure disappeared, Uchiha Mikoto walked in from outside the living room.

She looked at Fugaku with a worried look on her face and said, "Have you decided yet?"

Fugaku nodded and said: "Well! The young people in the clan have grown up, and it's time for me to retire, so that I can spend more time teaching Sasuke."

Uchiha Mikoto hesitated and said: "But, which one of them is suitable?"

Hearing this, Fugaku raised his head and looked at his wife and said, "I'm just preparing to step down as the captain of the police force temporarily. They can't take over the position of clan leader yet."
