In Naruto, the more harems you have, the stronger you are.

His eyes showed an expression that was unclear whether it was anger or admiration.

"Very good, you have some backbone!"

"Then you must prepare for war immediately. In three days, I will declare war on the Land of Earth!"

After saying this, the Daimyo walked straight out the door, completely ignoring the Third Hokage's attempts to keep him.

Danzo stood at the door, bent slightly and watched the Daimyo go away.

He stood up, walked into the office and closed the door.

"Danzo, this couldn't really be you who did it, could it?"

The Third Hokage sat on the chair, looking at Danzo with a headache, and said tentatively.

Danzo snorted in annoyance.

"Hiruzen, you think too highly of me."

"Although there are a few Uchiha clan members in my hands, they only have three magatama Sharingan. How can there be something like Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"And if it does happen, will I not tell you?"

"Besides, how could I possibly put it aside for such a trivial matter as attacking the Hidden Rock Village? If I have to launch a surprise attack, I'd just attack the Hidden Sand Village. Isn't that more convenient?"

After saying these words in one breath, Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at the Third Hokage, and asked:

"But Hiruzen, this really wasn't done by your Anbu?"

The Third Hokage pulled out the drawer under his desk, took out the tobacco pipe inside, and started smoking with a frown.

The Third Hokage gently exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and thick white smoke floated in the air.

His wrinkled face appeared and disappeared in the thick smoke.

"None of my Anbu have the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Hearing this, Danzo had no doubt at all that the Third Hokage was lying.

He knew the character of his old comrade all too well.

Then, Danzo's expression became even gloomier, so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip.

"So someone in the Uchiha clan awakened the Mangekyō, but deliberately hid it?"

"And he did this privately in order to start a war between Konoha and the Iwagakure Village, so that the Uchiha clan could take advantage of the opportunity to do something?"

The Third Hokage took another puff of his pipe and spit it out forcefully, watching the thick smoke form white circles.

"It's better to be cautious in everything. What if this is just a trick by the Iwagakure Village to frame and instigate someone?"

"Perhaps Ohnoki would rather sacrifice the lives of a Jinchūriki, hundreds of ninjas, thousands of civilians, and the future of his own disciples, and perform a self-torture drama in order to cause division within Konoha."

"It would be better if we ask the Uchiha clan leader to come over and ask him."

Danzo closed his eyes and nodded, but a crazy idea emerged from his heart.

Danzo, who was deeply influenced by his master, the Second Hokage, has always had a deep prejudice against the Uchiha clan.

Now that this has happened, his prejudice has slowly turned into hatred.

An Uchiha like person who relies on hatred to open his eyes should not appear in Konoha at all.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties with sweat on his face pushed the door open and walked in hurriedly.

He looked at the Third Hokage and Danzo in the office.

There was visible surprise on his face:

"Sandaime-sama and Danzo-sama, what are you doing?"

Danzo just looked at the middle-aged man coldly, then closed his eyes and ignored him.

The Third Hokage looked at the current Uchiha clan leader in front of him, forced a smile on his face, and said softly:

"Chief, please take a seat."

After the Uchiha clan leader sat down, the Third Generation pondered for a while and said softly:

"Chief, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Rock Village lost control last night. They said it was caused by the Mangekyō..."

The more the Uchiha clan leader listened, the more sweat he got on his face. When he heard the last part, he immediately stood up and said quickly:

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Hokage-sama, please trust us!"

"Not to mention that there are no strong people with Mangekyō Sharingan in our Uchiha clan now. If we had one, we would definitely tell you, and we would never do such a thing in private!"

The Third Hokage just kept smoking his pipe, his eyes obscured by the thick smoke, full of scrutiny and various emotions.

The Uchiha clan leader's face was full of tension. He looked at the Third Hokage who didn't say anything and just stared at him.

After a long silence.

The Third Hokage stopped smoking and a professional, kind smile appeared on his face.

"The Uchiha clan has made great contributions to Konoha and is loyal to the people."

"I also believe that Uchiha would never do such a thing. It must be the people from the Hidden Rock Village who are trying to sow discord!"

The Uchiha clan leader did not breathe a sigh of relief, and the Third Hokage immediately said:

"But in a few days, we will go to war with the Iwagakure Village."

The Uchiha clan leader quickly patted his chest and said to show his loyalty:

"Don't worry, Hokage-sama. The Uchiha are the Uchiha of Konoha. We will definitely send all our forces to participate in the battle!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes, the Uchiha clan leader carefully took his leave.

Looking at the figure of the Uchiha clan leader walking out.

The Third Hokage turned to look at Danzo, who had been silent.

"Old comrade, what do you think?"

Danzo opened his eyes and said calmly without any expression on his face:

"What he said should be true, judging from his breathing rate and heartbeat."

The Sandaime nodded in agreement, he had just spent more than ten minutes observing every subtle movement of the Uchiha clan leader's body.

I also found out that he was not lying.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the Uchiha clan leader is an actor with very deep acting skills, who can control various unconscious subtle movements of the body and breathing frequency very well and deceive these two old foxes.

However, the possibility of this happening is so low that it need not be considered at all.

The third generation murmured with a complicated expression:

"The current Uchiha clan leader is an old man who experienced the Uchiha Madara period when he was young. His courage has long been frightened. Even if a genius with the Mangekyō Sharingan appears in the clan, he will definitely report it."

Danzo raised his lips with a cold smile, and said in a cold tone:

"Let's just treat this as something that was directed and acted by the Hidden Rock Village."

"But now the Uchiha clan is full of geniuses. The young generation has Uchiha Fuqiu, and the teenage generation has Uchiha Shisui."

The third generation was silent for a while, but finally shook his head and said:

"No, the Uchiha clan has changed a lot over the years."

Danzo's eyes were full of mockery and hostility.

"Changed a lot? As long as the way they open their eyes doesn't change, their nature will never change!"

"Now it's just that the old men who experienced Uchiha Madara's time when they were young are still in power."

"Wait a few years, these old people will die one after another, and the middle-aged generation born after Uchiha Madara will take power. Do you think they will be dissatisfied?"

The Third Hokage's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly:

"Lets see."

"The most important thing now is to prepare for war."

……

"Prepare for all wars immediately!"

"These hypocrites from Konoha who dare not admit what they did, I will make them pay!"

The Third Tsuchikage roared fiercely, saliva spurting out of his open mouth.

Huang Tu, who was closest to him, quietly took a few steps back to prevent his father's saliva from spraying on him.

"Father, what about the Kingdom of Wind?"

Ohnoki's short body stood directly on the brand new desk that had just been replaced.

He looked straight at the dozens of elite jonin in the office.

"Ignore them and let them fight the Lightning Nation."

"The Land of Grass is still in civil strife. Let's just bypass the Land of Grass and attack Konoha!"

"Also, spread the news that the Uchiha clan of Konoha controls our Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, but Konoha refuses to admit it. We are not afraid of embarrassment, but we will see if they are afraid of embarrassment!"

A few hours later.

The news that Konoha sent the Uchiha clan members to control the Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village, causing him to lose control and attack the Iwagakure Village, and then shamelessly refused to admit it spread throughout the ninja world.

……

In the Sand Village, in the Kazekage's office.

Li Fan, who had already returned to the Sand Village and had a good sleep, is now processing documents.

Hearing the news, he just shook his head.

Not as expected.

When faced with such a big thing, Danzo would never give in.

The Third Hokage, who was indecisive by nature, would definitely be influenced by Danzo.

In this way, the Sand Village will face much less pressure.

Feiyan has now manufactured three.

He also began to select suitable candidates from among the Sand Ninjas who remained in the village.

Now everything is on track.

Li Fan finished reviewing the documents in his hand and stretched.

Speaking of which, the Iwagakure Village wants to invade the Land of Fire as quickly as possible.

The best route is to pass through the Grass Kingdom which is still in civil strife?

However, Kusagakure, this village is like weeds that blow in the wind and is as tough and hateful as grass.

I heard from Hongyue that civil unrest has started again in Grass Country.

According to the timeline, Karin's mother is still alive.

And according to Karin's age, she was only about 16 years old when the Shippuden began in the rd year of Konoha.

At that time, she should not have been born yet.

An idea suddenly popped up in Li Fan's mind.

Li Fan did what he said and created a shadow clone to work here.

He quickly walked to the airport, picked up a Feiyan, and flew to the Land of Grass.

The Grass Kingdom is located northwest of the Fire Kingdom, adjacent to the Fire Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Rain Kingdom.

The fate of a small country or a fence-sitter is to be the center of a battlefield targeted by the big countries.

The Kusagakure Village did not live up to expectations and allowed itself to fall into depravity.

Since the First World War, the Kusagakure Village was split into the Flower of the Grass and the Fruit of the Flower, and there were civil conflicts from time to time.

Half a day later.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed above the Kusagakure Village in the Land of Grass, and then disappeared.
