Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

It wasn't surprising that Uchiha Seiryu could guess what Uzumaki Mito had guessed.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance was somewhat problematic, making it easy for people to guess that it was him.

As the Hokage, he has no reason to harm children; it would only do him harm.

Since it wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi, he still acted strangely.

That means he just had someone in mind who was behind it all.

This person must also be related to Hiruzen Sarutobi, otherwise he would have already captured that person.

So Uchiha Seiryu nodded, and without further ado, said directly to Uzumaki Mito:

“I suspect it’s Elder Danzo; he’s the only one in the village who fits the description.”

"I also heard that he created a brand new department called Roots, and this war caused considerable losses to Roots."

“All Danzos have a motive to kidnap children to cultivate their own factions.”

After listening, Mito Uzumaki's previously confused thoughts instantly became clear.

She immediately regretted it; she had come to find Sarutobi to avoid alerting him, but it turned out to be unnecessary.

Although Uchiha Seiryu informed her of the news immediately, it's certain that some children were still harmed.

Mito's actions now are undoubtedly pushing those children into a fire pit.

Seeing Mito Uzumaki's somewhat sad expression, Uchiha Seiryu comforted her, saying:

"Grandma Mito, don't worry, we still have time."

"Assuming it really was Elder Danzo who did it, he would definitely destroy the evidence as soon as he received the news."

“There’s a time gap here. We can use this to our advantage and send someone to keep an eye on Elder Danzo. That way we can rescue those children.”

After listening, Mito Uzumaki carefully examined Seiryu Uchiha and said with some emotion:

"Sometimes I feel like you're not a child at all; you're a bit too mature."

After her initial sigh, she faced a dilemma: the Senju clan was severely understaffed.

No matter what, Danzo is not someone that a Chunin or Genin can keep an eye on.

The Senju clan's top fighters are all on the front lines; she can't abandon the Senju front and have them withdraw.

Going alone would be too conspicuous; using the transformation technique would make her even more easily discovered.

Thinking of this, Mito Uzumaki turned her gaze to Seiryu Uchiha, hoping that he could give her an answer.

Uchiha Seiryu had anticipated this.

He pointed to his clan crest, then looked at Mito Uzumaki's suddenly enlightened expression and said:

"There aren't many people in the village who can keep an eye on Danzo right now, but the Uchiha will definitely have a way."

"Only a small fraction of them were allowed to go to the battlefield; most of the capable ones were kept behind under the pretext that the village needed a garrison, so..."

Uchiha Seiryu wanted to continue speaking, but Uzumaki Mito couldn't wait any longer.

She feared that if she was even a step too slow, she would kill those children.

Mito Uzumaki eagerly pulled Seiryu Uchiha away.

They moved in the blink of an eye, and by deliberately remaining hidden, no one could detect them.

Before long, the two arrived at Uchiha Subaru's residence.

At this moment, Uchiha Subaru was handling official business, clutching his sparse remaining hair.

As the second elder of the Uchiha clan and the leader of various factions, he also has to conduct experiments on the Sharingan during this period.

The ever-increasing workload was giving him a major headache.

Just as he was pulling out another handful of hair and muttering to himself, he suddenly heard the sound of glass being knocked on.

He instantly became alert, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, and looked toward the direction from which the sound came.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing who it was.

Mito Uzumaki and Subaru Uchiha knew each other.

The subsequent change in Uchiha Seiryu's eyes made him completely lower his guard.

The fact that they can activate the three-tomoe orb and are standing next to Mito Uzumaki is enough to prove their identities.

Although he didn't know why they wanted to see him, he would never hurt him.

Uchiha Subaru opened the window and let the two in.

When Mito Uzumaki entered, she didn't even have time to tidy her hair, which was disheveled from her journey, and said directly:

"There is a very important matter in the village right now, and we need the Uchiha's help."

"I need you to select an elite team to monitor Danzo, along with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. Can you do that?"

The matter concerned the life and death of the child, and Mito Uzumaki also adopted the demeanor of a strong woman.

To be on the safe side, she even started monitoring Hiruzen Sarutobi's other two close friends.

Uchiha Subaru was very surprised. The three people that Uzumaki Mito had asked him to monitor were all high-ranking officials in Konoha.

This made him hesitate for a moment, but after glancing at Uchiha Seiryu, he nodded and said:

"Lord Mito, leave it to our Uchiha clan."

Seeing that he agreed, Mito Uzumaki continued, still not entirely convinced:

"Time is of the essence. You need to make arrangements now. This matter concerns the lives of many children in the village. You must act quickly."

Upon hearing that it concerned a child, Uchiha Subaru understood somewhat.

As expected, anything that can make Mito Uzumaki so anxious must be something significant.

They actually dared to attack the children in the village; they're truly fearless.

He then became somewhat excited, as the Uchiha clan, confined to the village, had no opportunity to earn merit and prestige.

No one in the higher ranks would speak up for the Uchiha, and without battle merits and prestige, no one in the Uchiha could be promoted to a higher position.

It's like exploiting a bug, leaving the Uchiha clan stuck in that awkward, unpredictable situation.

But if the Uchiha clan successfully stops this now and saves the child...

That prestige and merit came much faster than killing enemies.

So he said goodbye and left excitedly.

Judging from his attitude, he cares about this matter even more than Mito Uzumaki.

Uchiha Seiryu and Uzumaki Mito exchanged a glance and chuckled silently.

Mito Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief.

As someone who lived through the Warring States period, she knew the Uchiha clan's level all too well.

Aside from the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan ruthlessly crushed all other ninja clans.

Now that this matter has been handed over to the Uchiha, she can finally calm down and think it over carefully.

This previously uncertain matter was settled by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His words and actions inadvertently revealed a lot of information.

The worst outcome has already occurred.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, did not choose the right path; instead, he protected the criminals.

Although it cannot be confirmed that it is Danzo, everything points to him.

If Danzo really did kill the children, then Sarutobi would not escape punishment.

So Mito Uzumaki was thinking about who could act as Hokage after the removal of the Hokage.

Or rather, who will become the Fourth Hokage?

Chapter 48 The person who breaks the deadlock often cannot see themselves.

If things really do go the worst, Hiruzen Sarutobi is definitely not suitable to be Hokage.

But at this time, the Ninja World War was not yet over.

Changing the Hokage is a major event that will inevitably have an impact on the village.

If the battlefield changes, for example, if other ninja villages feel that Konoha has changed its commander at the last minute and wants to continue the war.

Then she would be a sinner in the village.

However, if Hiruzen Sarutobi were to remain in power after committing such a heinous act, it would undermine morale within the army.

After all, soldiers risk their lives on the front lines, only to return home to find their children gone. Who could bear that?

If these people are not punished, it might lead to a mutiny.

This dilemma left Mito Uzumaki in a state of hesitation.

Mito Uzumaki immediately shook her head with a chuckle.

She has hesitated many times during this period of time today.

This made her wonder if there really is no perfect solution for some things.

Uchiha Seiryu knew the outcome of this war; the five great nations would be utterly defeated.

As a result, it took more than a decade after this ninja war for the Second Shinobi World War to begin.

Moreover, the challenge was not initiated by the five great nations, but by Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure.

This shows that the five countries are actually at their last gasp.

Neither side wanted to bear the cost of defeat, which is why they continued the war, wanting to determine a victor.

Now that the war is over, all that's missing is an opportunity to negotiate peace.

As Hashirama Senju's wife, Mito Uzumaki was able to forcibly extract the power of the Nine-Tails.

Those with the ability and prestige should seize this opportunity.

If she can exercise her rights as the Shadow and convene the Five Shadows Conference, she can end this war immediately.
