Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 172: Inviting guests, beheading, and taking them in as dogs!

Zhiyi's expression looked somewhat strange.

His beloved teacher Danzo has already infiltrated the body of Uehara Ishi in Kirigakure.

He became like Voldemort.

What about the Third Mizukage that Shiichi controlled?

Dumbledore?

You should know that the entire Hidden Mist Village is filled with Shiatsu's spies.

Shiki clearly heard Danzo's plan.

"Want to become the master of demons and monsters? Teacher, you should have said so earlier! If you had, I would have arranged for you to go there long ago."

"Furthermore, if you wish to become the lord of demons and monsters, then so be it. Why do you still want to eliminate the Third Mizukage whom I control?"

Shiichi briefly imagined the scene of Danzo versus the Third Mizukage.

That would truly be a ninja world version of Voldemort versus Dumbledore.

"Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Nagato and Jiraiya, Obito and Minato."

"Could it be that betraying one's master and destroying one's ancestors is truly Konoha's destiny?"

Shiichi shook his head and looked at the Root ninja he had just taken over.

"I need to find a way to brainwash these Root ninjas into becoming my subordinates."

"Master Danzo, keeping these Root ninjas alive probably means you have ulterior motives."

"Perhaps, Danzo-sensei deliberately left behind a backup plan."

"Master Danzo, you really break my heart! You even scheme against your own disciple!"

"But it doesn't matter. If Master Danzo wants to stage an Infernal Affairs, then I'll stage a counter-Infernal Affairs."

Shiichi smiled as he imagined the future, how Danzo would be tricked and covered in blood by the news released by the Root ninjas.

"Danzo-sensei, please don't blame me, it's all for Konoha!"

The Root ninja appeared before Shiitsu in a flash and said respectfully:

"Lord Shii, two Hokage advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, have come to see you."

"Oh, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are here to see me?"

Shiichi's expression turned somewhat strange; he knew that Koharu Utatane and Erokazu Mitokazu were in very bad shape.

But what do you need him for?

Ask him for help?

They're overthinking it; Zhiyi isn't some great philanthropist.

To put it another way, among the powerful ninjas like Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, there was Shiatsu.

"Tell them to go to the training department's conference room. I'll be there right away."

The Root ninjas led Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado to the conference room.

Koharu looked at the Root ninja with envy.

They also tried to recruit Root ninjas to increase their power, but all their attempts failed.

Not only that, Orochimaru severed all their hands that had reached into the Root.

Of course, the Root ninjas wouldn't obey Orochimaru's orders.

Whose orders do the ANBU ninjas take?

Of course, I'll obey Zhiyi's orders.

Shiki is Danzo's disciple and the rightful successor of Root, a fact acknowledged by all the Root ninjas.

With a single call, Shiichi received the legacy left by his teacher, Danzo.

"Zhiyi actually made us wait for him, he's so rude!"

"We're his teacher's colleagues, his seniors!"

"Alright, let's bear with it for now. We need support right now; Konoha is developing too fast."

Mitokado Homura was somewhat melancholy. All the Konoha ninja wanted to move forward, but the two Hokage advisors were unable to do so.

The situation escalated, and the two of them became stumbling blocks for everyone and the target of public criticism.

The Konoha ninjas are almost ready to make up their minds to eliminate these two obstacles.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's rights come from the Hokage.

If the Hokage doesn't support them, they'll be two easy targets who have already amassed a huge amount of wealth.

If Konoha were in ruins or half-dead, they might be able to barely maintain the status quo.

But now Konoha has soared to new heights, becoming the undisputed number one ninja village in the ninja world, receiving all sorts of compensations and being overwhelmed with missions.

The Konoha ninjas, their ambitions ignited, yearn to go even further.

And so, these two old codgers stood in the way of a group of ninjas who were eager for greater profits.

However, Zhiyi is different. As someone who has mastered the core technology of the Qiangzhi Armor, his role is irreplaceable.

In particular, they had witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo fight using giant armor.

The tragedy of the Valley of the End is still etched in the hearts of the Konoha ninja.

Every time I think about it, I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart:

The giant armor truly lives up to its reputation as Konoha's war machine!

Therefore, Shiichi's power was recognized by everyone in Konoha.

Even if the Hokage wanted to touch it, the Konoha ninjas would not allow it.

Why is the Emperor plotting a rebellion?

Yes.

This is the gap.

Zhiyi is sitting firmly on the position, his power is secure, and even others, those who seek him out, are power in his hands.

Those ninjas who wanted Konoha to become stronger and stronger were Shiichi's supporters.

"My two advisors, what brings you here?"

Zhiyi arrived at the conference room, sat down directly in his seat, and said lazily.

"We've come to you because we want you to carry on your teacher's will and continue to form a political alliance with us."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado have realized that with the power structure being reshaped, it will be difficult to maintain their previous authority.

Rather than being gradually pushed out of the center of power and devoured.

It would be better to take advantage of the fact that he still has power and influence and form a new political alliance with Zhiyi.

They can then rely on Zhiyi to maintain their position.

He's not good-looking, but he has a lot of beautiful ideas.

"What will I get in return?"

"The benefits of the training department are already huge enough. I have no interest in taking on more power, otherwise I would incur the wrath of the masses."

Mitokado Homura spoke up, "We are the Hokage's advisors. Forming an alliance with you will further solidify your position!"

Zhiyi scoffed at this, his position was already as secure as Mount Tai.

Back when Shiitsu was still weak, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo wielded immense power.

He could be said to have absolute power, running rampant in Konoha, and the ninja clans dared not speak out against him.

And so, Zhiyi was left with a base.

Currently, Zhiyi has brought four of the five training bases under his control.

Sarutobi and Shimura are struggling to hold on to the remaining base.

The Shimura clan was the first to be driven away by Shiichi, because without Danzo, the Shimura clan was really not doing well.

Seeing that things were not going well, the Sarutobi clan, feeling a sense of shared fate, took over the Shimura clan.

The two powerful clans were locked in a base, struggling to resist Zhiyi's attack.

Zhiyi didn't completely drive them away, after all, I'm not some evil person.

You left me a base back then, and now I'm leaving you a base in return.

Zhiyi couldn't help but sigh that he was just too kind.

"Let me put it more clearly: after the alliance is formed, who will be in a dominant position?"

After listening, Mitokado Homura immediately fell silent, and then continued, "In an alliance, everyone is naturally equal."

It's clear that Mitokado Homura knows what Shiichi means, but he's still unwilling to give up.

They are the esteemed advisors to the Hokage. Now, they've humbled themselves and formed an alliance with a junior. Isn't that enough?

"You're unwilling to lose your rights, but you're also unwilling to be dogs. This puts me in a difficult position."

Zhiyi showed no respect whatsoever to the two advisors.

Two broken-backed dogs dare to bark and howl!

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her dorm, sighed and stepped forward.

"The new political alliance will be centered around you. Although your position is stable and important, it has only been a short time and you have not yet cultivated enough subordinates."

"We can help with that. After all, we two old guys have been in business for so long and have connections in various fields."

Mitokado Yan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Utatane Koharu.

"Can you relinquish power?"

This one sentence silenced Mitokado Hō.

Is it possible to give up?

Of course I can't give it up.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come looking for Zhiyi.

"Since we can't give up, there's nothing more to say."

"Let go of dignity that doesn't matter."

"Besides, isn't this our best option?"

Just as Koharu Utatane said, she and Homura Mitokado really had no other choice.

Whether they like it or not, they can only do their best to support Zhiyi.
