Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Danzo Shimura said, "You are the Hokage, but a retired one. Do you think the inherently evil Uchiha clan will give you face?"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, stop being so naive! Show your power!"

"You must tell them loudly that they must move immediately, hand over the planned number of ninjas, and they must also go to the East Blue battlefield to repel the Hidden Mist ninjas!"

Mitokado Homura frowned and said, "The Uchiha are still very strong. This kind of relentless suppression will only cause bigger problems."

Danzo Shimura was secretly pleased with himself, but on the surface he said coldly, "Fine, for the sake of Konoha, I'll endure this humiliation."

"If the inherently evil Uchiha clan refuses to fight for Konoha, I will definitely gather the Root ninja and fight to the death to wipe out the Uchiha clan!"

Hearing Danzo's increasingly outrageous words, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "Danzo! You've gone too far!"

Danzo sneered, "Everything I've done is for Konoha!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left!

Bang! !

Door:……

When Shimura Danzo was present, he was the only one targeting the Uchiha, but since he wasn't in front of his three classmates, they all turned against the Uchiha.

Mitokado Homura said, "Although Danzo's attitude was excessive, his wariness of the Uchiha was never wrong. Sensei's thoughts are definitely not wrong."

Koharu Utatane said, "Hen is right. We can't let our guard down with the Uchiha, or they'll definitely do something."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "You're right. We really can't let the Uchiha clan run rampant."

"Follow Danzo's suggestion and send the Uchiha ninjas to the eastern front to deal with the Kirigakure ninjas."

"Their fire style is countered by water style, so I think Fugaku Uchiha should send more Uchiha ninjas into battle."

"I will personally visit Fugaku Uchiha as the Third Hokage immediately. I believe he will give me that face."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both agreed, saying, "The Third Hokage is wise!"

History has proven that Hiruzen Sarutobi completely defeated Fugaku Uchiha. He persuaded the Uchiha clan to accept all their conditions by using the "Will of Fire" and the protection of Konoha.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't expect that while he had managed to resolve everything with the Uchiha clan, Danzo Shimura had made a huge mess with the Yamanaka clan and suffered a major setback.

Danzo left in a hurry because he was certain that the Third Hokage would personally go to persuade the Uchiha.

He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when Hiruzen Sarutobi concentrated the Anbu and lost the ability to monitor Konoha Village, to take down the Aburame clan and the Yamanaka clan, which he had long coveted.

Using Hiruzen Sarutobi's name, he tricked two ninja clans into giving away the genius ninja he had long admired.

Danzo Shimura first targeted the Aburame clan, successfully winning over the reclusive Aburame Shii, and then tricking ten Aburame girls, led by Aburame Torune, into his hands.

When he arrived at the Yamanaka clan in a huff, he continued to use the Third Hokage's orders as an excuse to specifically request geniuses such as Yamanaka Fu, Yamanaka Hatsukyu, Yamanaka Miyako, and Yamanaka Genji.

"In the name of the Third Hokage, all ninjas on the list, immediately come with me to become exclusive ninjas of the Anbu Training Department and undergo secret training to become Anbu ninjas!"

Danzo Shimura added arrogantly, "Yamano Inoichi, as the clan head, you wouldn't disobey the Hokage's orders, would you?"

Yamanaka Inoichi's face was solemn and gloomy, his clenched fists trembling uncontrollably, but he still gave the order to summon his clansmen.

Soon a group of eight- or nine-year-old children arrived at the clan chief's house. Their parents all had gloomy faces, and some of the mothers couldn't help but cry.

Yamanaka Chukyu was the last to arrive. When he saw Shimura Danzo's arrogant demeanor, he instantly felt his mind was clouded.

Why is this damn thing so hated?

I really want to kill him!

With his strength greatly increased, Yamanaka Hatsukyu was now quite confident in killing Danzo, making it difficult for him to suppress his killing intent.

Especially now that Shimura Danzo has come to his door to recruit him as a Root ninja, Yamanaka Hatsukyu is even more eager to kill him.

He closed his eyes and said to himself, "I can't do it now, or I'll harm my older brother, sister-in-law, and Ino."

"No need to rush into action. The war is about to begin. Once we leave the village, I can kill Danzo however I want. No rush, absolutely no rush."

Having finally managed to control his murderous intent, Yamanaka Chujiu was filled with resentment.

He couldn't be kept in the dark about Root; he knew that Shimura Danzo was bluffing and didn't actually have Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders!

Without further hesitation, Yamanaka Hatsukyu stepped forward, shielding his younger siblings behind him, pointed at Shimura Danzo, and loudly asked:

"Jonin Shimura, what are the Hokage's orders?"

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and retorted, "You actually want orders from me?"

"My word is an order!"

Yamanaka Chukyu asked again without any politeness, "Recruiting children from the Yamanaka clan into Root requires an official order from the Hokage, written in black and white and stamped with the Hokage's seal!"

"Jonin Shimura Danzo, you don't happen to be without orders, do you?"

Danzo Shimura realized that his bluff had been exposed. His smug expression froze, and the fierce glint in his one eye could not hide his panicked look.

A moment later, he roared in a guilty rage, "You bastard!"

"You're just a high-ranking ninja, how dare you question an elder like me!"

Undeterred, Yamanaka Hatsukyu shouted, "There is no such position as elder in Konoha!"

"Never!"

"You, Shimura Danzo, only have one position: Jonin of Konoha!"

Danzo Shimura, used to acting arrogantly because of his status as an elder, only realized after being rebuked by Hatsukyu Yamanaka that Konoha Village didn't actually have any elder positions.

If he were merely a Konoha Jonin, he wouldn't be able to use his status to suppress Yamanaka Inoichi.

So he instinctively blurted out, "I... I'm the Hokage's support!"

Yamanaka Chuji sneered and pressed on, asking, "Which Hokage are you supporting?"

Without hesitation, Danzo replied, "Of course it's the Third Hokage, Sarutobi..."

They finally fell for it!

Yamanaka Hatsukyu interrupted Danzo, questioning him in an even louder voice, "The Third Hokage you were assisting?"

"The Third Hokage has long since retired; he is no longer Hokage himself, so of course he doesn't have the authority to appoint assistant Hokage!"

"Even the Fourth Hokage didn't have any support, so here's the question: where did your Hokage support come from, and where did your Hokage orders come from?"

"Give us a formal order, and our mountain tribe will obey."

"But if you can't produce a formal order, our Yamanaka clan will have no choice but to conclude that you, Shimura Danzo, are falsely conveying the Hokage's orders!"

"A Konoha Jonin who falsely claims to be conveying the Hokage's orders is either plotting something sinister or betraying Konoha!"

Yamanaka Hatsukyu raised his right arm and shouted, "Yamamanaka clan ninjas, Aburame clan ninjas, this man's words and actions are highly suspicious!"

"Capture Shimura Danzo! Hand him over to the Third Hokage for punishment!"
