Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 196: Take down Uchiha! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

Hoshita Hide asked Aburame Ryoma to keep Danzo's body, but he kept the arm with the Sharingan himself.

After it was handled, he notified Tsunade and they went to the Hokage's office together.

At this time, after a period of digestion, Sarutobi Hiruzen had regained the calmness of a Hokage and asked Tsunade again.

However, Xingxia Xiu had already coordinated his testimony with Tsunade.

Besides, except that the parallel world was changed to the past, the rest were basically facts that Tsunade knew.

Moreover, Tsunade also said something that Xingxia Xiu had not said before.

That is the existence of Black Zetsu.

A being who claims to be carrying out the will of the Six Paths Sage and has lived for thousands of years.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen's scalp tingle again.

After taking a few deep puffs of his cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "So, you already have a plan?"

Xingxia Xiu said: "Collecting the tailed beasts is one of the plans."

"Uchiha Madara will definitely collect the tailed beasts, although it is not clear why he has not moved yet."

"So, we must collect the tailed beasts in secret and have nothing to do with Konoha."

Tsunade said: "If Xiu can hide, then hide. If you can't hide, then Xiu's collection of tailed beasts has nothing to do with Konoha. It is his own ambition."

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood instantly: "Is it possible to create cooperation with Uchiha Madara?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "This is also a way to obtain intelligence."

"The ultimate illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi is too dangerous. My intuition tells me that the truth will definitely not be what is written on the Uchiha clan's stone tablet."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "That stone tablet has been passed down from generation to generation in the Uchiha clan, and can be traced back to the Sage of Six Paths. What other truth could there be?"

Xingxia Xiu said meaningfully: "Third generation, many of the truths left by history are deliberately left for future generations to see."

“The real truth is often hidden beneath these truths.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

For example, Uchiha Madara and Konoha.

Who still remembers now that Uchiha Madara made an indelible contribution to the founding of Konoha.

"Then follow your plan!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "After all, the future belongs to you young people."

"Xiu, the roots will be in your charge from now on. This will also make it more convenient for you to act."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Thank you, Sandaime."

"However, although the future belongs to the young, you are not old yet, Sandaime, and we still need you to support the overall situation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, then asked, "Xiu, what do you think about the Uchiha side?"

Xingxia Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "Uchiha is also part of the village. If we don't use them, they will be used by the enemy."

"Although there are barriers, they can be overcome."

Whether the Uchiha can be used depends on whether the ruler has the confidence to suppress the Uchiha.

The Uchiha people are arrogant and have an overwhelming sense of family honor.

The key point is that those who have the Sharingan will have somewhat different thought processes.

But at the same time, Xing Xiaxiu was also very clear.

This group of people are also the most willing to submit to strength, and they also yearn for peace and stability.

The fact that no one followed Uchiha Madara when he left is proof of this.

Xingxia Xiu has enough confidence to suppress the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to solve the Uchiha clan's problem, so he simply became a hands-off boss: "Then, the Uchiha clan's side will also be left to you, Xiu."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded in response: "Understood!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "The matter of Uchiha Madara is limited to the three of us for now."

Hoshita Hide and Tsunade nodded in unison.

……

After leaving the Hokage Building, Hoshita Hide and Tsunade separated and came to the Root.

At this moment, all the Root ninjas who were not on any missions had gathered together.

Because Danzo is dead, their seals to eradicate the evil tongues have disappeared.

After Xingxia Xiu arrived, the Root Ninjas calmed down: "Master Xiu!"

"Danzo-sama was assassinated by the enemy. From now on, I will be the new leader of the Root."

Xingxia Xiu made a straight-to-the-point announcement and then issued orders one after another.

One is to pass on this news to Root members other than sleeper spies.

Those who can change shifts should do so, and let the members who are on missions come back to plant the mark of eradicating the evil of tongues again.

The Seal of the Tongue is not used to control a person's body, but is a curse seal used to restrict Root ninjas from revealing Root secrets. Hoshita Hide directly used it.

However, he simply abolished Danzo's previous emotionless, robotic training method.

Although people trained in this way are indeed very useful.

But it is not actually suitable for tapping personal potential.

What makes us human is that we have seven emotions and six desires.

Even Danzo's training methods cannot truly eliminate emotions.

Xingxia Xiu likes ninjas who have their own will and beliefs.

Well, the Will of Fire.

The will of fire he displayed under the stars!
……

After dealing with the urgent matter at the root with quick and decisive measures, Xingxia Xiu left a clone to take charge and then used the wooden body to appear in an experimental base.

Orochimaru, who was cleaning the experimental equipment, paused, then turned around and was a little surprised to see Xingxia Xiu, then smiled and said, "It seems that Xiu-kun has left some tricks on me."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "When we fought against Sunagakure, but this method should not be difficult to solve after you, Snake-kun, have a deeper study of the primary cells."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "It is indeed related to Wood Release."

"It seems Danzo has come looking for you."

Xingxia Xiu said: "Danzo has been killed by me!"

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically: "What?"

Hoshita Hide looked at Orochimaru steadily.

Orochimaru looked at Xingxia Xiu in shock, then smiled: "I still underestimated you, Xiu-kun."

"So, now you are the new Root leader?"

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "If there is no more important task for you, this position will be yours."

Orochimaru digested the news of Danzo's death. Snake Eyes looked at Xingxia Xiu and smiled, "A more important mission?"

"Did Danzo say that? Become a spy?"

Xingxiaxiu nodded and said with a smile: "You will be very interested."

"But some information cannot be disclosed for the time being."

He changed the subject and asked, "In addition to studying primary cells, Snake Lord has also studied a lot of secret techniques recently, right?"

Orochimaru subconsciously stuck out his tongue: "Hide-kun knows a lot!"

"But, could it be that Xiujun is also interested in those secret techniques?"

"Hehe, maybe we can make some deals."

Looking at Orochimaru sticking out his tongue, Xingxia Xiu immediately knew that this guy had begun human body transformation.

To be more precise, it is a software transformation that allows itself to continuously transform into a white phosphorus snake.

What a mad scientist!
"No wonder there were subtle changes in the chakra."

Xing Xiaxiu pondered secretly, but smiled and said, "I know a lot of things, and Snake King will know them later."

"As for the transaction, there is no rush for now."

Orochimaru felt a little regretful: "I wanted to use some things to exchange your cells with Xiujun!"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "My cells are not tradable." He didn't want to see many clones of himself in the future.

"I have something better suited than my cells."

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward: "Follow me!"

Orochimaru put down his weapon.

Xingxia Xiu put one hand on Orochimaru's shoulder, and the next moment the two disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in Xingxia Xiu's own experimental base, and on the experimental table in front of him was White Zetsu.

"This is……"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank and he stared at White Zetsu.

Xingxia Xiu said: "The creation of the first generation of cells."

"This guy's name is White Zetsu."

Orochimaru looked up at Xingxia Xiu and was very excited: "Did Xiujun and Tsunade research this together?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "No, I caught him from outside."

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Interesting, it seems that Xiujun does know a lot of interesting secrets."

"So, Xiujun, are you planning to use this to exchange something with me?"

Xing Xiaxiu kept it a secret: "I can't produce the Snake King I want for the time being. I'll talk about it when the time comes."

"But I do have a suggestion."

"You've seen Danzo's situation. If you want to make good use of the power of the First Generation's cells, you can't rely on the Sharingan."

“In fact, the two complement each other.”

Orochimaru was thoughtful.

Hoshita Hide continued, "The Sharingan is difficult to use effectively on those who are not members of the Uchiha clan. That's why no one in the ninja world has acquired it. It's not that it's impossible to obtain it, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

"The real strength of the First Generation Cells is not Wood Release. Wood Release is only a bloodline limit. Its strength lies in the astonishing Yang Release."

"With the power of Yang Release, the power of Sharingan can be better exerted."

"Although the Sharingan can suppress the power of the First Generation Cells, the ordinary Sharingan is not enough for people to make good use of the First Generation Cells."

Orochimaru nodded, "I see."

"It seems that cooperating with Xiujun is indeed a wise choice. Your understanding of the first generation cells and the Sharingan far exceeds Danzo's expectations."

"Then, this White Zetsu will be left to me from now on?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "You can study his clone."

Doppelgänger?

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment.

Xingxia Xiu said to Bai Zetsu on the experimental table: "Bai Zetsu, use your spore technique."

Bai Jue, who was lying down, felt very aggrieved: "Master Xiu, you should put me down first."

Xing Xiaxiu snorted coldly: "I don't like bargaining."

Bai Zetsu quickly chuckled and said, "I was just joking. As you wish."

Soon, Xingxia Xiu sensed that there was an extra spore in Orochimaru's body. He immediately stepped forward, entered the Sage Mode in an instant, and used Sage Chakra to stimulate the spores and force them out.

Grabbing the spore White Zetsu with one hand, Xingxia Xiu reminded: "White Zetsu has a strong ability to transform and burrow underground. If it runs away, it will be very troublesome."

Orochimaru's eyes were already burning. He raised his hand and wrapped the venomous snake around the spore White Zetsu. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Such a precious experimental subject, I can't bear to let him escape!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded, then turned and walked out with Orochimaru: "Snake-kun, I am looking forward to your exploration of immortality."

Orochimaru looked at Xingxia Xiu's back: "Oh?"

"Is Xiujun exploring too?"

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "Although the path you took is a little different."

The art of reincarnation without corpses could be an option for him.

You don’t have to, but you have to know how to use it.

Xingxia Xiu was too lazy to do any research and just wanted to enjoy the results of Orochimaru's work.

Orochimaru was very interested in what Xingxia Xiu said: "Xiu-kun always makes people look forward to it."

……

After seeing off Orochimaru, Hoshita Hide came to the Uchiha clan again, and soon under the leadership of Uchiha Fugaku, he met the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shigeki, Fugaku's father.

Sarutobi Hiruzen acted quickly as the news of Danzo's assassination had already spread.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the Anbu to track down the so-called enemy, and the Uchiha naturally knew the news.

So the appearance of Xingxia Xiu at this time made Uchiha Shigetai a little nervous.

Do you think Danzo's death is related to Uchiha?

Xingxia Xiu did not speak immediately, but waited for Uchiha Fugaku to pour the tea and took a sip before saying, "I believe that the head of the Shigetai clan has already known about Danzo's death."

"However, I actually killed Danzo in the name of the Sandaime."

what?
Uchiha Shigeta and Uchiha Fugaku both looked at Hoshita Hide in shock.

Unexpected, such an unexpected thing!
It's hard to believe.

Seeing the two people's shock, Xingxia Xiu was very satisfied and continued: "This matter is related to Uchiha. Danzo attacked his fellow villagers. I discovered it and reported it to the Sandaime. The Sandaime was very sad and issued this order to give the Uchiha an explanation."

Another shocking news.

Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and said, "So, it was Danzo who secretly stole the Sharingan from our clan?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "No, he is just one of them."

His gaze shifted from the quickly calmed Uchiha Shigedai to the grim-looking Uchiha Fugaku, and Hoshita Hide continued, "Back in the Land of Grass, after you left, I caught a guy who had been following you."

"Someone is secretly targeting the Uchiha and trying to obtain the three-magatama Sharingan."

Uchiha Fugaku exclaimed: "What?"

Uchiha Shigeta frowned and shouted, "Fugaku, calm down!"

Uchiha Fugaku quickly restrained his expression and lowered his head: "Yes, father!"

Uchiha Shigetai looked at Xingxia Xiu: "Xiu-kun, have you found out who is secretly watching the Uchiha?"

Xing Xiaxiu shook his head: "Not yet."

"That guy doesn't belong to the five major ninja villages, or even any ninja village."

Uchiha Shigeta's face darkened after hearing this. He sensed that Xingxia Xiu had more to say, but since he didn't say it, it was pointless to ask. He didn't ask any more questions, but instead thanked him earnestly: "Thank you Xiujun for telling me. Uchiha is very grateful."

"I will personally thank the Sandaime for the matter regarding Danzo, and I also thank Hide-kun for killing Danzo for the Uchiha."

Xingxia Xiu nodded and said immediately, "The Root needs to recruit more people recently. The Uchiha is one of the powerful families in Konoha. I wonder if the head of the Shigeta clan can provide some support?"

Uchiha Shigetai was shocked, another unexpected thing.

If the Anbu and the Root are separated, then the Anbu and the Root are definitely the core of Konoha's core.

And such a core often excludes the Uchiha.

However, although he did not understand the purpose of Xingxia Xiu's doing this, since there was an opportunity to enter the core, Uchiha Shigetai immediately agreed: "Xiu Jun, I will personally select people later and have them report to the root."

"Then I hope to get the support of the Chongtai clan leader."

Xingxia Xiu stood up with a smile and said goodbye.

Uchiha Shigeta and Uchiha Fugaku escorted Hoshita Hide out the door.

"It seems the Fourth Hokage has been chosen!"

Looking at the receding figure of Xingxia Xiu, Uchiha Shigetai sighed.

Uchiha Fugaku said: "With Hide-kun's strength, no one in the village can compete with him."

Uchiha Shigetai shook his head: "No, the fourth generation will probably be Tsunade."

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned.

Uchiha Shigeta turned around, "Hide-kun and Tsunade came together, and he now controls the Root."

"Fugaku, you must be good friends with Hide-kun from now on."

"He is different from Danzo and the others. He doesn't reject us Uchiha."

Uchiha Fugaku turned the corner and quickly spun around to catch up: "Yes, father!"
