Chapter 26: The Plan

The territory of the Uchiha clan is far from the central and prosperous area of ​​Konoha, but is located in a remote corner, close to Konoha Prison.

But silence is not in a hurry.

As I walked, I thought about what type of can I would recommend to Sasuke.

at the same time.

Shimura Danzo, with white bandages on his head and arms, was standing at the door of Hokage's office with a gloomy expression.

He has been standing here for a few minutes.

But he didn't push the door in.

Because he hasn't gotten the information yet.

Until a certain ninja with a pale face, gasping for breath, stumbled over appeared.

"Iping." Danzo called out the man's name.

It was a very soft voice, but it made the Anbu ninja named Ippei tremble uncontrollably as if stung by a poisonous scorpion.

Kneel directly to the ground.

"Lord Danzo, I..."

squeak--

The door of Hokage's office suddenly opened.

Sarutobi Hizan, wearing Hokage's robe, was standing in front of the window with his back to them.

"come in."

Old but powerful voice.

Danzang didn't speak, and strode in, but Yiping's face turned even paler.

He is nominally Anbu of Hokage.

However, he still obeyed Danzo, the former chief, the founder of "Root".

"Rizhan, called me over late at night, what's the important thing?" Danzang asked knowingly.

"Danzo, you should call me Hokage-sama." Sarutobi Hizan turned around, his eyes were cloudy during the day, but now he exudes sharp eyes like swords, "Why, you have to give such an order to Ippei."

Yiping's body trembled again.

He lowered his head deeply.

tonight.

Hokage-sama's order was for him to invite the man who was eating with Tsunade-sama over.

And when leaving.

However, Danzo came with new instructions, letting him take the opportunity to test the strength of the man, and if he is weak... bring it directly to Danzo.

The result of the temptation is already in sight.

"Why?" The corners of Danzo's mouth pursed, seemingly sarcastic, but quickly disappeared, "Let's get straight to the point, Rijian, you sent Yiping to perform the mission, isn't it acquiescence, or even hope that I will give it that way? The command?"

The root, although after Uchiha was exterminated, was disbanded by Sarutobi Hizuchi.

But many of them still serve in Anbu and are loyal to Danzo.

Sarutobi Hizan knew this.

In this situation.

He also dispatched Ippei, a member of the original root, to invite the mysterious man who appeared beside Tsunade. The purpose is obvious.

It's just asking Danzo to give orders.

Unable to stop the cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, the purpose of Hokage-sama sending himself to perform the mission was to imply that Danzo-sama intervened.

Then now the mission fails....

Isn't the responsibility on Danzo-sama?

"Forget it, everything has already happened." Sarutobi Hizan didn't continue to talk about the topic of the order, he took a deep breath of cigarette, and his tone seemed to soften a little, "You didn't see it, but... Ippei should have a deep understanding of the strength of that businessman."

"Yes!"

Yiping's body trembled slightly.

Not only because he was involved in the game between Hokage-sama and Danzo-sama, but also because—

He recalled the fear just now.

"Subordinate, subordinate just felt..." Yiping swallowed, his voice a little messy, "That's not human at all, even when he faced Nine Tails twelve years ago,

The subordinates don’t have that kind of fear, he didn’t even do anything, just standing there, the subordinates completely lost consciousness, their heads went blank…”

He didn't know what language to use to describe it.

all in all.

It just feels so powerful, so powerful that it doesn't hold the slightest hope of resistance.

"Illusion? Pupil?" Danzo's exposed eye wrinkled.

He could naturally see that Yiping had no physical injuries at all, but was only mentally stimulated like a nightmare.

Illusion or powerful pupil technique, both of which may be able to achieve such an effect.

"If I'm not old enough to be useless." Sarutobi Hizan looked at the desk in the office, "That should be... just an oppressive aura created by pure power, which the first Hokage-sama also possessed, But he's... better."

Danzo followed Sarutobi Hizan's line of sight.

Saw the burst crystal.

I also saw... Sarutobi Hizan's eyes were filled with deep fear.

It was the first time Danzo had seen a look like this on Hizan Sarutobi's body.

Is it old after all? Day cut.

"If you are worried, you can leave this matter to me." Danzo said slowly.

He is not arrogant, but there is a hint of motivation in his heart, surpassing the motivation of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

What you can't do.

I can do it! Can even do better than you!

Since Uchiha was exterminated, Danzo's role as "Hokage Assistant" was dismissed by Sarutobi, and the organization "Root" was also disbanded, the contradictions and dissatisfaction between him and Sarutobi have been deepening. Hokage, surpassing Sarutobi Hiizan's emotions, also became more intense.

"No." Sarutobi Hizan slowly shook his head, glanced at Danzo, and said bluntly, "I hope you can bear the conflict tonight."

"..."

Even Danzo had a strange blush on his face at this time.

pissed off.

I thought you called me here to discuss a plan, but in the end, you asked me to take the blame!

"That businessman is more mysterious than I expected. At least until I know more, there is no need for Konoha to conflict with him again." Sarutobi Hizenzan seemed to be talking to himself as if he did not see Danzo's anger. He lowered his voice as if, "The most important thing is that Tsunade is back."

The last sentence is the key.

Tsunade is back.

Sarutobi Hizan is very clear that the fifth generation Hokage, from the current point of view, only Tsunade is the candidate.

Prestige, character, ability...

It's fine if the hyperphobia has not been overcome. Now that it has been resolved, even if he doesn't support it, as long as Tsunade wants to, he can still sit in the position of the fifth Hokage.

Therefore, he was worried that Tsunade would be deceived and deceived, and even used Danzo's hand to test it.

And the result of this trial.

Not only did he not reassure him, but he was more cautious.

The purpose of calling Danzo tonight is to warn him not to do any small actions without authorization, expand the conflict, and even explain what happened tonight.

Danzo, staring at Sarutobi Hiizan with his one eye, finally looked away.

"I'm not even a Hokage consultant anymore, what can I do?"

He turned his back and walked towards the door alone, his back seemed full of loneliness.

Sarutobi Hizan watched this old friend leave step by step, with a hint of unbearable in his heart.

But what he didn't know was that the moment Tuan Zang turned his back, there was suppressed anger in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hizan thought he was being cautious.

What Danzo thought was fear!

When did Konoha reach the point where even Hokage fears the rest!

He had crazy plans in his mind, and then, he thought of a person.

Uchiha Itachi!

Since Sarutobi Hizen thinks that Konoha does not need to conflict with the so-called businessman, then... Will the Akatsuki organization be interested?
