From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 39: There is also a trick at the root
Orochimaru, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel amused when he saw Danzo Shimura's helpless and furious look.

Danzo is a man with great ambitions but little talent, yet he is also arrogant.

Apart from having some talent in combat, he basically only relies on the two words "ruthlessness" and "greed" in other aspects. Relying on his relationship with Sarutobi Sensei, he has a huge amount of connections and resources, and will do anything to gather intelligence.

After several decades, he finally earned the name "Dark Ninja" in the ninja world.

However, he himself was completely unaware of this, nor of how much convenience the relationship between him and his teacher had brought him, and often attributed all the success of the entire Root to himself.

Over time, they naturally become more and more arrogant, and even regard the roots as their own property, and do not allow anyone to covet them.

Unfortunately, all Sarutobi Sensei needs is a piece of transfer paper to make the fragility of his so-called 'entangled roots' obvious.

Not to mention cutting off half of your organization just because you open your mouth, even if the entire Root is eliminated, what can you, Shimura Danzo, do?
Orochimaru stood in the corner, his softened tongue sliding across the corner of his lips, his golden snake eyes looking coldly at the scene in front of him.

He had no immediate intention of helping.

Over the past few years, Danzo Shimura has become increasingly unclear about his own status, and often even treats Snake as a subordinate, completely forgetting the time when the two of them first huddled together for warmth.

Orochimaru hoped that Danzo could become a little more sober through this incident.

However, it is obvious that Danzo Shimura is not the kind of person who will give in so easily.

"Bastard!"

He walked around the overturned desk in circles, his brows furrowed and his expression extremely solemn.

"The reason why this incident is so difficult is that it was an internal inquiry raised by both Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo at the same time, suspecting that there was a traitor in the upper echelons."

"In the content of the inquiry, cutting off half of the root weaving is not even a small matter."

'The biggest problem is that Tsunade has requested a comprehensive audit of the accounts of all major departments.'

"If you want to initiate an investigation, no matter whether it was Yan or Xiaochun who did it, I, the biggest suspect, will definitely be investigated."

'By the time.'

The more Danzo Shimura thought about it, the more he felt that he had been hit right in the weak spot this time.

Although he embezzled so much money, it was all for the better development of Konoha. Not a penny was spent on himself or his family. It was all used as Root funds.

However, the number he was greedy for had already reached a single-digit percentage of Konoha's entire fiscal expenditure.

It's really not that easy to ignore.

As for the root accounts, if it is just an audit, it would be fine. At most, it would just be a matter of making a few false accounts.

However, how could he withstand joint verification with other departments?
'damn it! '

"I just want Konoha to get better. Why is it so difficult to do something practical?"

'For now, since there is no way to solve the problem, we have to find a way to solve the problem of those who raised it.'

"That stupid woman Tsunade is the teacher's granddaughter, so she can't be touched lightly. But Hatake Sakumo was born as an immigrant from the Land of Iron, and is just a commoner without any foundation, nor does he have a bloodline limit worth paying attention to."

"The most important thing is that we must not let the Senju clan represented by Tsunade have the idea of ​​uniting with the civilian ninjas such as Hatake! "

"For the Hokage family, this is the biggest threat."

Shimura Danzo's idea is very simple.

As he thought about this, he immediately turned to look at Aburame Ryoma beside him and said coldly:

"Ryoma!"

"I'm here." The loyal Aburame Ryoma half-knelt on the ground.

"Find a way to kill Hatake Sakumo for me!"

"."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Root Office fell into deathly silence.

Everyone looked quietly at Aburame Ryoma who was standing at the front.

Aburame Ryoma was also dumbfounded, his expression under the mask suddenly froze, and he subconsciously pointed at himself.

"Ah, me?"

Danzo Shimura didn't hear the reply, and for a moment he was unable to react to the problem. He glanced in the direction of Ryoma Aburame with some annoyance.

How come even his most loyal subordinates don't know the rules?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, he heard a cold voice coming from the shadow corner.

"This is really too embarrassing."

"Lord Danzo."

"I'm afraid that all the ninjas in the entire Root combined would not be enough for Hatake Sakumo to kill alone, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked towards the direction where the voice came from.

Shimura Danzo raised his eyebrows and looked with his one eye.

A figure with a slender figure, pure white hair, and the whole body covered in a white robe walked out slowly.

The man had a hoarse voice, but his face was handsome and somewhat feminine, with a red mole between his eyebrows.

Orochimaru also looked over there, a little surprised.

"Beiliuhu?"

Seeing this competent laboratory supervisor, Shimura Danzo paused and his expression returned to indifference: "This is not a place for you to come in." But Biruhu ignored him and leaned over to put the document in his hand next to the overturned desk: "This is the battlefield trace investigation report collected by the Root team."

"According to the traces, the Third Raikage's movement speed is at least three times the speed of sound, and he is capable of smashing rocks, trees and other obstacles in front of him at this high speed."

"The estimated strength of the body and chakra armor based on my modeling are all written on it."

"In addition, according to the secret report, he once took on the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball head-on."

"Hatake Sakumo is able to fight a monster like this head-on, and his speed is even faster."

"At the same time, according to our insider report in Kumogakure, when the muscular monster of the Third Raikage returned to the village, he had several more wounds on his body."

“This is unprecedented.”

"Master Danzo, do you know what this means?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at Ryoma Aburame beside him.

Aburame Ryoma nodded carefully to confirm.

"hiss"

He took a deep breath.

Danzo Shimura is almost fifty years old this year and has been away from the front line for a long time. He only knows that Hatake Sakumo is very strong.

But I didn't expect him to be so strong? !

then this
This is truly unbeatable.

Although Danzo Shimura is arrogant, he is not stupid.

Others may not know the level of these three melons and two dates at the root, but how could he not know it?
But if this is the case, how can we solve the remaining problems?
Could it be that he really had to wait patiently for that bastard Hiruzen to cut him hard with the knife?

Just as Danzo was thinking this, he finally caught a glimpse of Hokuroko's confident expression from the corner of his eye.

"cough."

Shimura Danzo then pretended to clear his throat, sat back in his original position, and said calmly: "Hirohu, since you have a plan, then tell me about it."

A smile slowly appeared on Beiliuhu's face.

"Lord Danzo."

"Tsunade-sama and Hatake Sakumo-sama, since the report mentions questioning the Konoha high-level officials, why should we stop it?"

"On the contrary, for the future of Konoha, we should help them investigate thoroughly."

"The heads of the various ninja clans, the heads of the organizations, the supervisors of the Hokage Building, the chief officers of the front-line troops. Are the Konoha advisors the only high-level officials? Are these people not 'high-level officials'?"

"For Konoha's sake, we should get to the bottom of this."

In short, it’s just two words - times.

For this village in the midst of war, Beiluohu's proposal was vicious. He continued to talk:
“At the same time, we not only have to increase the stakes, but also place bets.”

"We will suppress public opinion, conduct a comprehensive investigation on the economic level, disintegrate the internal strength of each ninja clan on the military level, and fully promote the cleansing operation of Konoha on the political level."

Even a bold man like Danzo Shimura felt terrified after hearing these words.

With just a little imagination, he could imagine the disastrous consequences:

"Aren't you afraid of something happening?"

Hiruhu smiled gently and said, "This is all caused by Lady Tsunade."

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Danzo-sama, you have only expanded the scope of the investigation under the instructions of the Sandaime-sama."

The more Shimura Danzo listened, the brighter his eyes became, and the more he looked at Obiruko, the more admiring he became.

He had never imagined that this ordinary laboratory director, who was mediocre in appearance, actually had talent in this area.

I really underestimated him before.

"Oh, very good!"

"I didn't expect that among so many people in the Root, it was you, Beiliu Hu, who guessed my thoughts in advance."

"Good, it's decided!"

Beiluhu's eyes twitched violently, but he finally bowed down to show his respect.

His experiment still needs Danzo's support.

At least in the last few years, his source of income must not be reduced.

For this reason, this is the only option left.

As he thought about it, he secretly glanced at a man standing in the shadow in the corner with a tense expression.

He will prove himself no matter what the cost.

Even a mortal can surpass geniuses like you.

"Just wait, Orochimaru."
