Naruto: The Strongest Force

But the Third Hokage looked sharp and energetic.

Jiraiya climbed directly in through the window.

Jiraiya's body was covered in dirt, and there was even a lot of blood.

"Old man, it's done. I accidentally lost a man's hand."

Jiraiya was a little apologetic. It was a bit embarrassing to be so well prepared and yet lose one man.

Last night's raid was a secret order given by the Third Hokage himself. To prevent the news from leaking out, the Third Hokage called all the Anbu back to the base.

The third generation Hokage personally selected the candidates, and others who had a hint of suspicion, whether they were related to Danzo, or people related to Mito Kabuto or Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory.

All of them were excluded by the Third Hokage, and they were not even allowed to leave the base in order to ensure the confidentiality of the raid.

In order to prevent the ANBU from suffering greater casualties, the third generation told them to use all their strength.

So when Jiraiya passed by, he directly turned on the sage mode and acted as the vanguard.

The Root was originally Danzo's base camp, and countless people were brainwashed by Danzo.

And it is impossible for these people who have been brainwashed by Danzo to be turned against the government.

Now Konoha seems to be calm, but in fact it is in danger.

Now that he has made up his mind, the order issued by the third generation is to kill without mercy!

Sure enough, even if the root system was not restored.

However, there are still many former Root members hiding in Danzo's base.

These people were all die-hard fans of Danzo. Even Jiraiya broke through the door first, followed by thirty Anbu who surrounded him.

These people also refused to surrender.

Jiraiya also took action directly, killing heads.

More than thirty people died in Jiraiya's hands alone. It was okay at first, with Jiraiya in sage mode acting as the vanguard.

No one died in front of me.

As a result, they finally met Yamafaze and Aburame Takegen, and Anbu accidentally lost one person to the nano-level poisonous insect.

Only sixteen others were injured to varying degrees.

The raid was a complete success, and eleven Root researchers were captured.

These have been following Danzo for many years, and a lot of evidence of Danzo's crimes can be extracted from them.

Jiraiya reported the detailed battle situation to the Third Hokage.

"I also found a secret passage inside, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a bomb. Someone must have taken advantage of it and escaped."

The third generation nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. The results this time are already good. Leave the rest to me. You can go and rest first. We will talk about other things later."

"Okay, old man, I'm going to take a nap first." Jiraiya yawned and walked out slowly.

The Third Hokage sat quietly in the office and waited.

It is actually very difficult to keep such a large-scale ANBU transfer secret.

At least Koharu and Mito Menyan couldn't hide it when they moved to bed.

That's why the Third Hokage chose the time at night.

There are even people from the Shimura clan behind Shimura Danzo, but Shimura Danzo has always sucked blood from the family in these years.

The relationship between the Shimura clan and him is a bit weak, but it may still cause some trouble for the Shimura clan to know that the third generation is determined to eradicate Danzo.

"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Mito Kadoyan and Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory were indeed there.

Both of them had bad looks on their faces, and Mito Kadoyan said, "Hiruzen, why didn't you discuss such a big decision with us?"

"That's right, ANBU informed us early this morning that you actually sent Jiraiya to raid the root base. Didn't you agree that Danzo would be locked up for a while?"

Utane Koharu complained a little, although she and Danzo were teammates.

But the reason she felt uncomfortable was that the Third Hokage had surpassed them.

The order was issued directly.

The position of advisory elder was actually set up to check and balance the power of the Hokage.

In recent years, the Third Hokage has also discussed everything with them.

We had agreed before that it was just a show and that Danzo would be locked up for a while.

Once the Uchiha succession ceremony is over, Danzo will be released.

As a result, Danzo's roots have been directly eradicated.

And they didn't just disband them, but directly killed all the diehard Danzo followers.

Even if any escaped, there were only two or three kittens.

All the people in the Anbu were given a ban and gathered at the Anbu base.

No one can leave, and the ban can only be lifted after Jiraiya's people return.

Therefore, the secret information of the two consultant elders could only be spread after the fact.

What is contained in this is very terrifying.

That's why the two consultant elders hurried over and asked the Third Hokage what he meant.

The Third Hokage did not give any explanation, but said calmly:

"Do I need your consent for any order I give?"

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kaden were shocked. Why did the Third Hokage suddenly become so strange?

"The situation in Konoha is extremely critical right now. For the next period of time, I will give direct orders for everything I want to do."

"You also have your own people to look after. I don't want any misunderstandings to occur. As for your opinions, please put them aside for now."

The third generation is not loud, but his attitude is extremely tough.

These words clearly told Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.

From now on, I will only inform you about what I do instead of discussing it with you.

"If you have nothing to do, just go down." The third generation directly issued an eviction order.

Seeing the different look on the Third Hokage's face, Koharu grabbed Mito Kado who wanted to speak.

"I understand, Hiruzen, let's leave now."

Mito Kadoyan didn't know why, but he still allowed Koharu to drag him out.

After going out, Mito Kadoyan whispered: "What's wrong, Xiaoharu?"

Uta-ne Koharu looked back and said with an unpleasant expression:

"Hiruzen is the same now as he was back then. If you offend him now, wouldn't that be courting death?"

Mito Kadoyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he seemed to remember something and trembled all over.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has become more and more easy-going in recent years, making Mito Kaden almost forgotten about him.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi took over as the Third Hokage, he showed amazing courage in the face of oppression from various families.

Promote various civilian talents and vigorously select people with potential as ANBU.

Heirs of various big families suddenly have various accidents.

Especially the strongest Senju clan in Konoha, after the accident happened to the rope tree, Tsunade's boyfriend, Kato Danya, also had an accident.

Tsunade became depressed and left Konoha.

On the pretext of studying Wood Release, the village began to recruit young men from the Thousand Hands clan to voluntarily undergo experiments.

In the end, none of the experiments were successful, and instead many young men from the Senju clan were lost.

Since then, the Thousand Hands clan has disappeared.

The representative of the family, Hatake Sakumo, was troubled by public opinion because of the failure of his mission.

The most incredible thing is that the rescued person actually came forward to accuse Hatake Sakumo.

Public opinion in the whole village was aroused.

As the shadow of the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent about this, letting it happen without doing anything to stop it.

In the end, Hatake Sakumo committed suicide.

The Third Hokage completed the highly centralized Hokage lineage.

The remaining ninja clans, except for the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, almost all became vassals of the Hokage clan.

The Sarutobi clan of the Third Hokage has not been well-known in recent years.

But Utane Koharu knew that the Sarutobi clan had quietly developed many ninjas.

The Third Hokage even asked her and Mitomon En to do something in private, and both of them benefited a lot.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's current appearance is undoubtedly the same as that of back then. If he wants to take action, he will use the power of thunder to eliminate all dissenters.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En received news that the team leader was Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and Jiraiya even used the Sage Mode.

The entire battle was almost devastating, and the ANBU suffered very few casualties.

After thinking about this, Mito Kadoyan also frowned. Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became strong. For what reason...

……

In the woods far away from Konoha Village.

There was a coughing sound from a hidden cave.

"Cough...cough..."

The letter came out from the secret passage at the root.

He held a long knife in his hand and walked out of the secret passage while coughing.

Every time I coughed, blood flowed out from between my fingers.

I looked back at the ruins at the root in the distance, brother, please don’t come back.

……

Chapter 176 Can be won over

next day

Uchiha clan land

Early in the morning, Qiming came to report.

"Clan leader, Hinata Yuto wants to see you."

Natsuki yawned, he had just gotten up.

"It's so early, let him come over."

Natsuki washed his face casually, and while he was brushing his teeth, Hinata Yuuto arrived.

"Gulu...Gulu...Yongren, come here so early..."

Hyuga Yuto looked a little tired, and there were many bloodshot eyes.

It was especially obvious against the white of his eyes.

Yongren took out a map and handed it to Xia Mu:

"Master Xia Mu, we have already checked the entire area last night."

"These are all the explosions, nothing is missing."

Natsuki took out his toothbrush: "No, Yongto, did you stay up all night?"

Yong Ren tried his best to smile and said: "There is such a big hidden danger in the village, how can you sleep."

Xia Mu wiped his hands and patted Yongren on the shoulder:

"Okay, you've worked hard, go back and rest. I'll have Hiashi give you a reward later."
