"This letter is nothing but a conspiracy he concocted against Uchiha Sasuke."

Nara Shikamaru said seriously.

"You wouldn't say that if you had read the secret letter carefully."

Yamanaka Hiichi shook his head and said in the same serious tone:

“Many of the doubts above are indeed suspicious.

"But, as we said before, the truth doesn't matter.

"From the content of this letter, it seems that Shimura Danzo has been investigating this matter for a long time.

“This is definitely not a plan that was hastily put together.

"In fact, I suspect that the death of the Fifth Hokage is not as simple as it seems."

After a pause, Yamanaka Hiichi sighed and said with emotion:

"It seems that this 'root' that claims to be buried deep underground has finally reached the point where he can no longer bear the loneliness."

"The heads of the six major families, as well as Kakashi, Might Guy and several other elite jonin, have all received this letter."

On the side, Qiu Daoting took over the conversation and continued:

"To be honest, Danzo's lobbyist came to me this afternoon and promised me the position of the largest family in Konoha.

"The request is that my Akimichi clan should do everything in our power to support him in taking the position of Hokage."

"He came to me the day before yesterday."

Nara Shikamaru said silently.

"Well, I did this morning."

Yamanaka Inoichi took over the conversation.

On the side, Akimichi Choza's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

But Yamanaka Inoichi did not notice this episode and continued:

"Also, I heard that Danzo personally visited the Hyuga clan."

After a pause, Yamanaka Hiichi leaned forward to retrieve the secret letter, tapped the paper lightly with his index finger, and said:

"Right now, doubts about Uchiha Sasuke's identity are still limited to the Konoha council circle.

“But according to my intelligence, Danzo will not be satisfied with staying at this level.

"By this time tomorrow, I'm afraid, all the ninjas in the village will know about this."

"It seems that he doesn't intend to leave any leeway for Sasuke this time."

On the side, Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but frown, feeling very disgusted by Danzo's behavior, and commented:

"It's really a very vicious method."

"So, this time the fight may not end until one dies. As the head of the Nara clan, you should be more cautious in your actions."

On this side, Yamanaka Inoichi pointed to the earrings on his ears, reminding Shikamaru of the oath the three families had made together, and said:

"Our three families, Pig, Deer and Butterfly, have been friends for generations, and we have always stood together.

"In this life-and-death matter, you must not lose your composure."

On the side, Nara Shikamaru nodded silently and said:

"Please rest assured, uncles.

"Although I am young, I will never do anything that is harmful to our three families."

After a pause, Shikamaru once again said seriously:

“Now that we have come this far, let’s make our conversation more thorough.

“I have carefully read all the contents of Danzo’s letter.

“The accusations in the letter regarding Uchiha Sasuke’s identity are simply too absurd.

“And the so-called evidence listed can only be regarded as doubtful at best.

"But there is not a single piece of direct evidence that is convincing."

"But after tomorrow, a large number of Chunins, Genins, and ordinary civilians will not be as clear-headed as you when faced with such a gimmicky story."

On the side, Yamanaka Haiyi frowned and said worriedly.

"Yes, from the perspective of rumor-mongering or public opinion control, Shimura Danzo did make a ruthless move this time."

Nara Shikamaru nodded, but soon his eyes were replaced by determination again.

He looked directly at the two clan leaders in front of him and said:

"However, for us, Pig, Deer and Butterfly, the only key thing to be clear at the moment is this.

"Who will be more beneficial to us if he becomes the Sixth Hokage?

"Uchiha Sasuke is a ninja of the same level as me. Although he looks aloof and arrogant, he is upright and chivalrous.

"This person has a natural and correct understanding of right and wrong, good and evil. He is always sincere and consistent with his companions."

As Shikamaru spoke, several images kept appearing in his mind -

In the Land of Water, Sasuke sympathized with the boatman and avenged him;

In the Sand Village, Sasuke desperately defended his allied village;

As well as the loyalty and friendship of Kimimaro, Hyuga Neji, Uzumaki Naruto and others to Uchiha Sasuke.

"If such a person becomes Hokage, even if he cannot achieve any great results, at least he will not lead the entire village into an irretrievable situation.

"On the other hand, Shimura Danzo is radical, unscrupulous, and ambitious.

"If he really becomes the Hokage, I think you uncles should make plans early."

"When the time comes, it would be better for you to take your family and hide with me to Sand Village as soon as possible."

On the side, Akimichi Chouza and Yamanaka Inoichi nodded slightly, and their faces looked very ugly.

It seems like I'm really starting to think about it.

Can the harsh climate of the Sand Village be adapted to by the younger generations in the family who have become spoiled?

“In short, we just want to advise you not to make obvious moves to take sides before everything is settled.

"Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

After a while, Yamanaka Haiyi sighed and spoke again.

"Of course, I think so too."

Nara Shikamaru nodded seriously and spoke.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall once again what Uchiha Sasuke had said to him before.

//

"If the family is involved, it could very well turn into a civil war within Konoha if we're not careful.

"This is a price that both you and the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village cannot afford under the current situation."

//

Silent all night.

The next morning, Uchiha Sasuke woke up in the empty Hokage's house.

The first thing I did was to open the system forum and post my own new question.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke. Recently, a full-scale conflict with Shimura Danzo and the Root Organization he leads may break out at any time.

"What suggestions and advice do you have for this?"

Sasuke then briefly details Danzo Shimura's investigation into him, as well as the "fake death plan" he, Jiraiya and the others had implemented.

After posting, Sasuke did not just sit there waiting for replies from fellow netizens.

Instead, get up immediately.

After a short rest, he headed towards the suburbs of Konoha's East City.

Halfway through the journey, he saw Hyuga Neji and Kimimaro walking towards him together.

"Sasuke!"

On this side, Hyuga Neji also saw Sasuke.

I saw him walking towards me while shouting the other person's name.

"Are you ok?"

As he came closer, Hyuga Neji looked serious and greeted with concern.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and asked:

"Where are you planning to go?"

"Where else can I go? To you, of course."

Hyuga Neji said:

"Anyway, such a big thing has happened, what's next."

"What a coincidence. I was just about to go look for you guys."

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted Neji and whispered:

"This is not the place to talk, let's go home."

After a while, the three of them came to Kimimaro's house together.

Now, Kimimaro and Ningji are neighbors.

Over the past few days, the relationship between the two has become much closer than before because of the bond of Uchiha Sasuke.

After entering the house, Ningji took out a few cushions and sat down with ease.

Kimimaro was busy pouring tea. The two men's warm hospitality made Sasuke seem like an outsider.
