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

After half an hour.

Danzo had just returned to Root when a member walked in.

He bowed respectfully and spoke indifferently.

"Lord Danzo!"

"The Anbu have sent a message that the Hokage needs you to go to the Sarutobi clan immediately for a meeting with the Hokage."

"It's extremely urgent, go immediately!"

After finishing speaking.

The members of the root group bowed and remained silent.

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He just killed his own son, and he's already discovered the problem?

impossible!

The Roots' operations are extremely secretive; even if they were discovered, it wouldn't be possible for them to act so quickly.

Koharu, Yan, and even Sarutobi Arashi would never betray them.

Could it be that something else happened tonight?

Thinking of this, I let out a sigh.

"Truly, these are turbulent times!"

"This is none of your business, you can leave now."

Danzo spoke indifferently.

The root members bowed and then left the office.

Followed by.

Danzo did not hesitate. He immediately got up, took four trusted men, and headed straight for the Sarutobi clan's territory.

About twenty minutes later.

When Danzo arrived at Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence, Arashi Sarutobi greeted him directly.

"Lord Danzo."

"Elders Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado have now arrived at the reception room."

"Now, all that's missing is you."

Sarutobi Arashi spoke calmly.

However, the way he looked at Danzo was filled with a strange meaning.

Yes.

Although he hadn't met Danzo today, he knew perfectly well that from now on they were all on the same side.

Because of Sarutobi Shinnosuke's death, if the truth comes out, none of them can escape.

Therefore, these words are what I am saying.

· ········Requesting flowers····· ······

It's a greeting, but also a reminder.

This was to tell Danzo that Hiruzen Sarutobi's gathering of them had nothing to do with Shinnosuke Sarutobi's death.

"Oh, that's it."

"Thank you for your help. Please lead the way."

Danzo spoke with a smile.

He could, of course, understand the deeper meaning in Sarutobi Arashi's words.

only.

The current situation is rather unusual, so he couldn't say more.

Sarutobi Arashi bowed slightly.

He then guided Danzo into the reception room, bowed slightly, closed the door, and left before letting out a soft sigh of relief.

Although his expression remained calm throughout, a closer look revealed...

You could see a surge of joy welling up in his eyes, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Yes.

He was overjoyed.

Because from today onwards, the mountain weighing on his heart will completely disappear.

..... 0 ...

"Shinnosuke, don't blame me."

“I know you’re a good person, and you’ve indeed been good to me within the clan.”

"But there's nothing we can do."

"Our social status and position dictate that we are not on the same path."

"If I don't remove you, this obstacle in my path, then I will be crushed by you for the rest of my life."

"I am also a person, and I have my own pursuits."

"I don't want my life to be like being trapped in a cage of contempt. I also yearn for freedom."

"So, I'm sorry!"

Outside a pavilion.

Sarutobi Arashi stood by the artificial lake, looking up at the dark night sky, muttering to himself.

Yes.

He was actually very saddened by Shinnosuke's death.

After all, Shinnosuke was one of the few friends in the Sarutobi clan.

But, unfortunately.

Their social status and position meant they could never be friends.

Followed by.

After reminiscing about his 'friend,' Shinnosuke felt a surge of pride welling up inside him.

Because Shinnosuke died.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's other son, Asuma, was not a cynical playboy.

His mind was full of unrealistic fantasies, and he even believed that there was only one jade in a country, and hoped that Hiruzen Sarutobi would hand over power to the daimyo.

Isn't this funny?

What makes the Hokage bow down to a mere mortal like the Daimyo?

even……

If the common people didn't hold the daimyo in such high esteem, even to the point of mythologizing him, even if these ninjas destroyed the daimyo, they still wouldn't be able to get all the common people to accept their rule.

otherwise.

That so-called great name is long dead! (Door)

Chapter 226 Sarutobi Arashi is excited, and the Konoha F4 each have their own plans!

Yes.

Throughout the ninja world, there are many people who dislike the daimyo.

Aside from the simpleton Hashirama Senju, any powerful figure with a modicum of ability would want to eliminate the daimyo and take control of everything.

But, no!

The daimyo's authority is too deeply ingrained in people's minds. If someone were to kill the daimyo and take the throne directly, the entire Land of Fire would be thrown into chaos.

Given time, they can manage to keep up.

But the problem is.

The entire ninja world has five great ninja villages. If any country becomes chaotic, would the other ninja villages give up such a good opportunity?

and so.

Unless the five great ninja villages determine a true victor and completely annex the other four villages, none of them dare to take the lead in attacking their own daimyo.

Daimyo was certainly aware of this.

Indeed, that is exactly the case.
