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

Yes.

If we want to get this sorted out, Danzo will really have to put in some effort.

The Anbu doesn't have that capability!

Only the root can possibly do this.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke softly.

"okay, I get it."

"Lu Jiu, you should go back and deal with the clan's affairs first. This time, your three clans of pig, deer, and butterfly have suffered considerable losses!"

"Of course, this is an internal matter of your ninja clan, and I, as the Hokage, will not get involved."

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in a flat tone.

However, when saying the word 'loss', the tone suddenly became much stronger.

only.

Nara Shikaku's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were a subtle warning to him, and also an indication that he would not pursue the matter further.

Obviously.

Nara Shikaku's idea today can be seen as a test from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Now, the test has been passed.

Taking a deep breath, Nara Shikaku spoke.

"Thank you, Hokage!"

"We will definitely reorganize the clan properly."

"Farewell!"

Chapter 255 Danzo nods and summons Minato!

Hiruzen Sarutobi had an indifferent expression.

After watching Nara Shikaku leave, he couldn't help but let out an angry snort.

Yes.

Even if he had no evidence, how could he possibly know absolutely nothing about the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's little tricks?

But, same thing.

Why is it that he currently has no one under his command, while Nara Shikaku is very useful, and the remaining Ino-Shika-Cho trio will be a great help to him?

So, forget it.

Even if they wanted to cause trouble for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, they would have to wait until things stabilized.

Thinking of this, he spoke indifferently.

"Anbu!"

"Hokage-sama."

"Go and invite Lord Danzo over."

"Yes!"

An undercover agent appeared and immediately knelt on one knee.

After hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's instructions, he immediately left the Hokage's office.

About ten minutes later.

Danzo walked in with a gloomy expression, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi was much fiercer and more sinister than before.

There was no respect shown, no hysteria, not even kicking down the door.

He simply stood quietly in place, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with indifferent eyes.

"Why did you call me here?"

Danzo spoke softly.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi even spoke, he didn't bother to argue with the battle between Root and Anbu that morning.

They've already broken off relations a long time ago.

There's not much point in saying it out loud; everyone just needs to understand.

The rest depends on each person's methods!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Danzo didn't bring it up, nor did Hiruzen Sarutobi.

after all.

Even if he was wronged in this matter, and he did not command Shisui, there was no way to talk about it.

Since Shisui was a member of the Anbu, he had indeed mentioned this before.

If we were to sell Shisui now, who would dare to work with him as Hokage in the future?

more importantly.

Danzo was just an elder, while I was the Hokage!

As a Hokage, wouldn't it be considered a sign of weakness for him to proactively discuss this matter with Danzo?

So, absolutely not!

therefore.

He gave Danzo a deep look before speaking calmly.

There's no need for formalities between us.

"You understand the current situation in the village; the Uchiha are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with."

"To deal with the Uchiha, the first step is to end the war, but the Hidden Cloud Village is not accepting that right now."

"Nara Shikaku just gave me a suggestion, and I hope to get your help to make it happen."

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not hesitate.

He briefly explained Nara Shikaku's plan, and then stated that he could not accomplish it, as only Root had the ability in Konoha at present.

Although he didn't say many things, he believed Danzo understood.

The core message is just one point.

Even if we eventually have to break ties and fight to the death, it will only happen after we've killed the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

Before that, unity is essential.

But now.

To truly deal with the Uchiha with peace of mind, we must first end the war.

So, are you going to do this or not?

Danzo fell silent.

Although he did dislike Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had to admit that Hiruzen's suggestion was correct.

I really couldn't kill the Uchiha clan on my own.

Now, after some simple consideration, I think the suggestion that Nara Shikaku has made seems to have a certain chance of success.

The Third Raikage, Ame!

This powerful individual is indeed a problem.

If we could take this opportunity to kill them, it would be a good thing for ourselves, for Konoha, and even for the entire ninja world.

After figuring this out, he slowly nodded.

"no problem."

"The Root will handle things in Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

"However, I hope you can send Minato Namikaze, or even try to persuade King Uchiha."

"One is Flying Thunder God, the other is Kaleidoscope."

"If the two of them work together, then the chances of killing the Third Generation Ai are the highest."
