Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 80 Plan

As Hiruzen Sarutobi began instructing Chika Uchiha on how to make the Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning Technique even more powerful.

Danzo Shimura knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea how Chiga had obtained the Fire Release technique.

Moreover, this conversation was a deliberate attempt to shift the topic and overshadow the fact that Chiga had seriously injured a Root ninja.

And he secretly told him not to keep bothering him.

Danzo Shimura was naturally unwilling to accept this.

He slammed his cane heavily on the ground, interrupting Chiga and Hiruzen Sarutobi's conversation.

After drawing their attention, Shimura Danzo said, "Sarutobi, this matter can't be left like this. My men are still lying on the ground!"

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

Upon hearing this, Qianhe was startled and immediately realized that these four people were his future experimental subjects, and they couldn't just die like this.

He glanced at the four people lying on the ground with great concern, then kindly said to Shimura Danzo, "Lord Danzo, why don't you take these four away and treat them first? They'll really die if they're not treated!"

As she spoke, Chiga, her face full of regret, continued:

"Although my Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning Technique was used quite well, as you just heard the Third Hokage say, the details were still a bit lacking, so it's common for me to not be able to control the power of the ninjutsu. I don't think Lord Danzo will hold this against me, will he?"

[Negative emotions from Danzo Shimura, emotion value +60!]

"Hmph, I don't need your feigned sincerity!"

At that moment, Shimura Danzo was furious, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also came to his senses and looked at Danzo, whose mouth was almost crooked with anger, and said.

"Danzo, listen to this. Chiga is still worried about whether your subordinates will die. It seems he held back when he killed them."

"How could someone like that betray the village? Your men must have failed to explain their intentions when they arrived, and they even attacked first!"

"Only Chika is a good kid; he didn't hold a grudge against your men, he just incapacitated them!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face contorted with grief and remorse, perfectly complemented Chika's expression as he forcefully struck the knife in Danzo's chest.

"Third Hokage, please stop. Lord Danzo was only thinking of the village's best interests!"

Chiga tugged at Hiruzen Sarutobi's sleeve, her face slightly flushed.

It wasn't that he was faking it; he just felt a little embarrassed when he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi praising him.

He simply felt that obtaining these four test subjects was not easy and didn't want to lose them just like that.

He wasn't like what Hiruzen Sarutobi said, caring about the life or death of the enemy.

"You've gone too far!"

At this moment, Shimura Danzo clutched his chest with one hand, and with the other hand, he pointed shakily at Senga and Hiruzen Sarutobi with his cane, barely able to speak!

[A breach of defense from Danzo Shimura, emotional value +100!]

[A breach of defense from Danzo Shimura, emotional value +100!]

The two advisors behind them couldn't stand it anymore, and more and more Uchiha clan members arrived.

They also knew that staying there any longer could easily escalate the situation.

The fact that it caused dissatisfaction among the Uchiha clan is a minor matter.

The problem is that the other clans in Konoha cannot know that they are treating the children of Konoha clans in this way.

"Alright, Danzo, take your men down there for treatment!"

"Yes, if there's a problem, let's go back to the Hokage's office and talk about it."

Seeing that no one spoke up for him, Danzo knew that he was now helpless against Uchiha Chika.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then gave Chiga a sinister look before walking towards the Hokage Building.

As for the roots lying on the ground, someone will naturally come and drag them away.

In the Hokage's office.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had already left, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

"Alright, that's enough about this. Danzo, you can't continue targeting Uchiha Chika!"

Faced with the powerful Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura could only remain silent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his former comrade-in-arms and sighed inwardly.

He clapped his hands lightly, and instantly an invisible force enveloped the entire Hokage's office.

Upon seeing this, Shimura Danzo's expression darkened, knowing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had said something important to him.

"Danzo, you're still researching Hashirama-sama's cells, aren't you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's opening line was a bombshell.

After Hashirama Senju died, Konoha Village lost its means of controlling the Nine-Tails.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura mobilized the entire village to conduct research on Hashirama cells.

However, because a large number of volunteers died during the experiment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to terminate the project.

And all the relevant records were sealed away as a dark history.

However, he knew that Danzo would not give up.

"The Nine-Tails has always been a threat to the village. Without the ability to control the Nine-Tails, we dare not let Kushina leave the village at will, and we have to protect her at all times."

"This is both a danger and a burden for the village."

"Therefore, finding a way to control the Nine-Tails has always been a shared goal for both of us."

To this, Shimura Danzo neither confirmed nor denied, but simply frowned and asked, "Sarutobi, what are you trying to say?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Have you considered that since Lord Hashirama's experiments have been unable to be completed, could we try a different approach?"

"Um?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puzzled expression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stated directly, "That person is also capable of controlling the Nine-Tails."

"That... Uchiha Madara?!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura's pupils suddenly contracted.

Compared to the violent Wood Release control method of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan control method is undoubtedly more sophisticated.

Using illusion magic not only allows one to control the Nine-Tails, but also to convert it into one's own power, making it a win-win situation.

Danzo Shimura seemed to understand why Hiruzen Sarutobi had agreed to let Chika Uchiha become Kushina Uzumaki's disciple.

He frowned and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "What a pipe dream! Aren't you afraid that when Chika Uchiha is able to control the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha clan will take over Konoha?"

"So, why do you think I made Chiga Kushina's disciple?"

"And why did you refuse when Chiga had battle merits that could have been exchanged for the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura immediately realized and said, "So, Kushina Uzumaki stealing the Scroll of Seals for her disciple was also part of your plan?"

"Ahem, no, not at all!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes at Danzo Shimura, who really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

If I could keep up with Kushina's thought process, would I still be sitting in this Hokage position chatting with you?
