Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

This guy is too dangerous.

“I agree with what Xiaochun did!” Mitokado Homura said solemnly, “Uchiha Jin is too dangerous, and his actions are getting more and more outrageous.”

"We can't let him live any longer; we must do everything we can to kill him."

"Even if it comes at a high price, it's worth it in my opinion!"

"Hiruzen, make your move."

"Just like Koharu said, before the Uchiha can react, secretly contact all the ninja clans in Konoha and crush them all at once!"

"The Uchiha have gone too far this time; even the other ninja clans can't tolerate them."

"It means we'll lose some reputation among the common people, but that's a huge advantage compared to the benefits we'll gain from killing the Uchiha."

"Heh, worthless!"

"Ordinary people are forgetful; strength is the true path to power."

"As long as they have the strength, they can't turn the world upside down!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

He himself admitted that his two old friends were right.

This is a rare opportunity.

If we can handle it well, we might be able to defeat the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop.

This temptation is too great!

Really, this is a rare opportunity.

You have to understand that this time, the Uchiha have offended all the ninja clans.

But I'm really not willing to accept it!

Is it really possible that all the good reputation I've built up over the years is now gone?

boom!

Just then, the office door was kicked open.

Danzo walked in with a gloomy expression and immediately opened his arms.

"Hiruzen, you're too cowardly!"

"Xiaochun and Yan are right. This is the best opportunity to deal with the Uchiha."

"If you are willing to speak up, I believe that all the ninja clans in Konoha will choose to support you."

So, don't hesitate.

"Although doing so will weaken Konoha's strength, in my opinion, if all the ninja clans work together, it won't cost us too much."

"As for the front lines of the war, there is no need to worry too much."

"We should conscript more clan ninjas and take this opportunity to weaken them further."

"So many benefits, all for the price of some reputation."

"Such a good deal, Hiruzen, you're not going to refuse, are you?"

Danzo's face was cold and sinister.

He stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Yes.

Of all the elders, he was the most serious about dealing with the Uchiha.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, he is unwilling to give it up no matter what.

Not to mention.

He could also take this opportunity to ruin Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation, which was perfect for him.

You need to know about the position of Hokage.

This is the saddest place in his life; he was just a tiny bit short of it back then.

Because he answered a second too late, he would have been the Hokage by now.

Now, this is a rare opportunity.

Not only could he kill the Uchiha clan, he could also ruin Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation.

This will definitely make it easier for him to rise to power in the future.

Think of this.

His heart was filled with increasing excitement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

His brows were furrowed.

Looking at Danzo before him, he became even more silent than before.

He could guess his old friend's inner thoughts pretty accurately, even if he had to guess.

To ruin one's own reputation?

If my reputation isn't bad enough, I think my old friend will be willing to help me for free.

The worse his reputation is, the happier he is!

but.

Everyone's right!

This is indeed a rare opportunity. If we can seize it, killing the Uchiha clan won't be difficult at all.

He was indeed tempted.

and so.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly nodded.

"Okay, I agree."

"The Uchiha clan has really gone too far this time. Even if I wanted to keep them here, no other ninja clan would agree."

"In that case, how could I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, be reluctant to part with my mere reputation?"

"Go and secretly inform all the major ninja clans. This time, the Anbu won't need to go; you three elders can go in person."

"Tell them to secretly come to the Jonin meeting room at nine o'clock tonight!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke solemnly.

Yes.

Although choosing to do this will definitely have some impact on myself.

Perhaps even Danzo, the very sword in his own hand, might turn against him.

But it's alright.

He knew Danzo's methods all too well and was confident that he could suppress Danzo once again.

Since that's the case, let's leave it at that.

After saying this, he lit his pipe again and began to puff out smoke.

His eyes were unfathomable amidst the billowing smoke.

only.

At this moment, Danzo and the other two elders disregarded all of this and were instead overjoyed.

Yes.

For them, the current situation is a sure win.

Most importantly, it's Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Without him as the Hokage leading the way, other ninja clans, even if tempted, wouldn't dare to actually participate.

But now things are better.

Regardless, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

That's enough for them!

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"I'll go as well."

"I'm also willing to help. Let's discuss who we should visit."

"..."

Danzo and the others stopped wasting words.

They immediately started chatting, and after assigning their tasks, they left right away.

Yes.
