Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 81 Matchmaker Hiruzen Sarutobi

From Hiruzen Sarutobi's few words, Danzo Shimura had already discerned Hiruzen Sarutobi's plans for Chika Uchiha.

He made Uchiha Chika a disciple of Uzumaki Kushina, and through a series of small events, he helped Uchiha Chika and Uzumaki Kushina build a bond.

When Uchiha Chiga's Sharingan is strong enough to control the Nine-Tails, then he can try to proceed with the second step.

Using the Sharingan's eye techniques to control the Nine-Tails, he made Kushina Uzumaki a perfect Jinchuriki!

It must be said that this is indeed a far-fetched idea, but it also has a certain degree of feasibility.

However, this is equivalent to the two of them being bound together.

Moreover, it can be said that Kushina Uzumaki's life and death were entirely in the hands of Chika Uchiha.

"No, I just wanted Chiga to know that I was able to exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique entirely because of Kushina."

"I never imagined Kushina would go to such lengths for her disciple!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a wry smile, but inwardly he was pleased, as the first step in establishing the bond had been a great success.

The two have become very close.

Danzo Shimura knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi's clear words were also a way of telling him that Chika Uchiha was part of his plan, and he could no longer deal with Chika Uchiha, otherwise he would be openly opposing the Hokage.

However, Shimura Danzo didn't believe in such things. His face darkened, and he said, "As a ninja, you believe in things like bonds? Sarutobi, you're getting old! You're starting to act on emotion!"

"Your plan has good intentions, but you can't trust the Uchiha clan, not even a brat!"

"Don't forget, there were also ninjas in the Uchiha clan who cared about the village like Kagami!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi corrected him.

Mentioning his former teammate, Shimura Danzo didn't refute, only saying, "Hmph, I admit it, but people like that are extremely rare. I still suggest brainwashing Uchiha Chika before carrying out your plan!"

"Brainwashing? Turning the Uchiha clan geniuses of Konoha into tools?"

"Don't think I don't know the stupid things you've done!"

"In the past, when you coerced other families, you didn't use any particularly drastic methods, so I won't go into details."

"But you dared to attack Chika on Uchiha clan territory? Don't you think you're taking the Uchiha clan too lightly?"

"They really don't take me, the Hokage, seriously at all?"

"Besides, do you think Kushina wouldn't see that we've taken Chiga away for brainwashing?"

"If Kushina causes a scene, will you handle it?"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that Danzo Shimura was stubborn, he was so angry that he almost beat Danzo Shimura up himself.

"That's because you owe Kushina Uzumaki, not me!"

Danzo Shimura retorted instinctively.

His words made Hiruzen Sarutobi frown, and he softened his tone as he asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze."

At this point, Shimura Danzo looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then slowly said, "Kumoku ninja!"

In an instant, the moment Shimura Danzo uttered the word "Cloud Ninja," an invisible pressure suddenly surged from Sarutobi Hiruzen's body.

The aura of a top-tier ninja swept through the Hokage's office like a storm.

The terrifying killing intent in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes raged around them as if it were a tangible thing.

Even Danzo felt a slight sense of fear at this moment.

But since things had already come to this point, Danzo had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.

"Back then, when Kushina Uzumaki first came to Konoha, she was already an eight-year-old girl."

"She was already dissatisfied with Konoha for not helping the Uzumaki clan. Even after we found her while she was wandering the ninja world and brought her to the peaceful Konoha village, she still felt out of place."

"And you also saw the problem. Just then, the Cloud Ninja wanted to take Kushina Uzumaki, and you took the opportunity to arrange the scene where Minato Namikaze rescued her."

"Those Cloud Ninja never imagined that their every move was being monitored by the Anbu."

"Just when Kushina Uzumaki was in despair, Minato Namikaze, whom you had arranged, appeared just in time."

"This is how Minato Namikaze entered Kushina Uzumaki's heart, and at the same time, how Kushina Uzumaki came to accept Konoha."

As he continued, Shimura Danzo looked up and stared directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying, "More importantly, Namikaze Minato also became Jiraiya's disciple after that, right?"

"Ever since Kushina Uzumaki was confirmed to become the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, she's been nothing more than a puppet on your strings!"

"Danzo, it's time for you to leave!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said that he neither admitted to doing it nor admitted that he didn't.

It was all just Danzo's speculation.

As Shimura Danzo departed, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and sighed, "In the end, I didn't possess the same power as Lord Hashirama!"

Power can be intoxicating, but strength is the broad road to the pinnacle of power!

While Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were hurting each other.

Chiga was talking with Fugaku Uchiha at home.

"What exactly happened before?"

"Uchiha Fugaku asked."

"That Hokage's assistant wanted to recruit me into Root, but I refused, and then they attacked me."

Chiga briefly explained the situation to Uchiha Fugaku, without mentioning why she was being taken away.

Danzo

Fugaku Uchiha sighed and said, "I didn't want you to get involved in this, but it seems I need to tell you in advance."

"Among the higher-ups in Konoha, apart from the Third Hokage who was somewhat fair to our clan, the other three are extremely hostile to our clan, especially this Shimura Danzo. So you should be careful of Shimura Danzo."

"I understand, Chieftain."

Chiga nodded.

Seeing this, Fugaku Uchiha stopped talking and took out a scroll. After breaking the seal, a samurai sword was found inside.

In the afternoon sunlight, the blade gleamed with a cold light, and the scabbard was made of a rare black hardwood, smooth as jade.

The patterns on the back of the knife are clearly visible, making it obvious that it is no ordinary item.

"This sword was crafted by a renowned artisan from the Land of Craftsmen, and it even incorporates chakra metal. It's a rare gem, even among our Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Fuyue said.

Upon hearing this, Chiga gently flicked the blade of the sword with his hand.

Clang!

The soft ringing of the sword made Chiga nod in satisfaction.

Chiga asked, "I'm very satisfied with this sword. I'm grateful to the clan for taking care of me. Clan Chief, does this sword have a name?"

"Yes, the sword is named Gale!"
