To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Uchiha Fugaku's plan was not complicated.

Some people brought the corpse of Iwagakure to provoke the Iwagakure garrison troops, luring the Iwagakure ninjas to rush out of the government office and fight with them.

Regarding this part of the plan, Uchiha Fugaku said: The more Iwagakure ninjas we can lure out, the better.

Make sure the power within the Iwagakure government office is further weakened.

Another group of people took advantage of the fact that the Iwagakure ninjas were out fighting, rushed into the government office, seized it, and then turned around and surrounded the Iwagakure ninjas outside the government office.

"It would be best if we could annihilate all the Iwagakure ninjas, but if that's not possible, we'd better try to increase their casualties as much as possible." Uchiha Fugaku said with a cold light in his eyes: "Then we will occupy the capital and plunder the surrounding border cities. With such losses, the Tsuchikage will surely be furious and will definitely gather ninja troops to attack us..."

The Anbu ninja interrupted Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Okay, your plan is good and has a high chance of success. We, the Anbu, agree to cooperate and provide support."

"......Forehead."

Uchiha Fugaku was a little stuck. He was a little surprised and asked: "You agree now?"

The ANBU man nodded: "I'll give you the contact location, come here when you are ready, this is the code, remember it..."

Uchiha Fugaku mechanically wrote down the code said by the ANBU man.

——So, the cooperation was reached just that easily?

Uchiha Fugaku prepared a series of words to persuade the other party, but none of them worked, which made him speechless.

After the ANBU man finished giving the code word, he nodded to them and turned away.

Uchiha Fuyou and the others were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

Uchiha Shigeka looked at the back of the Anbu man with a meaningful look.

......

"Lord Danzo, we have reached a cooperation with Uchiha Fugaku and others."

The ANBU man knelt on one knee in front of Shimura Danzo and told him the details of Uchiha Fugaku's plan.

“This is the plan…”

Shimura Danzo frowned, his face darkened and he said, "Chi, it seems you didn't finish listening to Uchiha Fugaku's words."

The man's face changed, and he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I...I think that what follows is nothing more than to cause Iwagakure to attack the Rain Country, attract the attention of Hanzo, and then let Konoha..."

Shimura Danzo interrupted him and said, "I don't want to hear your excuses. My will is the will of the Root. You must follow my will. You must do whatever I say. Don't have any extra thoughts."

"You violated my trust. Go down and accept your punishment."

When the man named Chi heard the word "punishment", his body suddenly trembled, his face under the mask turned pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed out.

He didn't dare to refute Shimura Danzo's order and could only squeeze out one word.

"......Yes."

Chi stood up with difficulty and walked out.

"A ninja's mission is to serve as a tool and accomplish tasks brilliantly. Chi, don't forget this."

Chi paused.

"...Keep this in mind, Master Danzo."

"Say yes, that's enough."

"......Yes."

Ike walked out, and Shimura Danzo's eyes flickered with disgust.

"Taking the initiative, huh."

Danzo Shimura stopped thinking about his subordinates and turned his attention to the content of Uchiha Fugaku's plan.

The search team led by Iwagakure Jonin Oishi and others was destroyed, causing heavy losses to the Iwagakure border ninja troops.

Uchiha Fugaku's plan is simple and straightforward, lacking details. It sounds like just talk, but it may not be without value.

The power of the Iwagakure border has definitely declined.

They plus Uchiha Fugaku and others... No, mainly Uchiha Shigeka.

Danzo Shimura thought of the huge pit in the Senju clan's territory - the power of Uchiha Shigeka, who possessed ultimate-level ninjutsu, should not be underestimated.

If they work together, Uchiha Fugaku's plan may actually succeed.

However, compared to successfully bringing down Iwagakure, killing Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shigeka is more attractive to Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo's sinister eyes flashed with a sinister light.

——It can not only involve Iwagakure in this war, but also kill Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shigeka...

Shimura Danzo was thinking about how to kill two birds with one stone.

......

After Uchiha Fugaku and his group finished their preparations, they arrived at the contact point left by the Anbu man.

Unexpectedly, it was not a cave or a dense forest, but a rural village.

A group of people wearing cloaks and hoods hid their figures and headed towards a residential area.

This village is dilapidated, but there are still some people living there.

The ragged and skinny people on the roadside had numb eyes. When they saw this obvious group of people, they just raised their heads and then lowered their heads, letting the cold rain hit their bodies.

Uchiha Shigeka looked at them silently. There was no life in their eyes. They looked like zombies.

Uchiha Fugaku arrived at the house and, according to the ANBU man, knocked heavily on the door twice, then knocked lightly five times, and finally kicked it twice.

Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and pretended to be angry and cursed: "Where are the people? Are they all dead? Come out to meet the guests! If you don't come out, I will chop your whole family to death!"

......

Chapter 111: The Root's Plan

squeak-

Under the gaze of Uchiha Shigeka and others, the door was opened and an old woman appeared with a look of fear on her face.

Seeing this group of people, the old woman shrank and begged, "My lords, we really have no way to pay back the money. Please be tolerant for a few days."

Uchiha Fugaku continued the old woman's play and said in a vicious voice: "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to leave us outside in the rain? Get out of the way and let us in. We'll know if you have money after searching inside!"

Uchiha Fugaku and others pushed the old woman and walked into the house.

The door was closed and people on the passerby looked over. After a while, they heard sounds of smashing and looting coming from inside, as well as the wailing of an old woman.

It is not uncommon for bullies to come to people's homes to collect debts in this village, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

These days, everyone is trying their best just to survive and has no energy left to help others.

What's more, they didn't dare to help because there was no doctor here and they might die on the spot if beaten by the bullies.

They shook their heads, sighed, and left here with their bodies hunched.

After a while, the old woman's door opened and a group of people walked out.

The leader sneered: "You said you had no money, but you hid it well. I found it anyway, ugh!"

The group left cursing, leaving the old woman still crying.

......

As soon as Uchiha Fugaku and others entered the old woman's house, they saw that the old woman's face was no longer frightened, and she calmly led them to the bedroom.

Then the old woman turned a cup, and to the surprise of Uchiha Fugaku and others, curses and wailing suddenly came from the house, accompanied by the sounds of clanging and smashing.

Uchiha Shigeka looked around curiously. Where did the sound come from?

The old woman formed seals with her hands, and in the surprised gaze of everyone, a rune quietly appeared on the floor. After flashing a few times, the floor disappeared like melting spring snow, revealing the secret passage underneath.

A group of people who were of the same height as Uchiha Fugaku and the others and wearing the same cloaks came out of the secret passage and waited in the living room.

Uchiha Shigeka and others looked at these people with strange eyes.

"Okay, you guys go down." The old woman's words made Uchiha Shigeka and others look away.

Uchiha Fugaku and others looked at each other, then walked into the secret passage.

After everyone entered the secret passage, the old woman made seals with her hands again, and the floor reappeared to cover the secret passage.

"You will be out of here in five minutes."

The old woman gave instructions to the group of people waiting in the living room.

These people nodded, and five minutes later they all went out, cursing and leaving.

The old woman was left standing there quietly, with her wailing as the background sound.

......

This secret passage is quite long.

Uchiha Shigeka and his group walked for about twenty minutes before they finally reached the end.

A little candlelight illuminated the enclosed space, and a group of ninjas dressed as Anbu silently watched Uchiha Shigeka and others walk out from underground.

"This is... the base of the Anbu?"

Uchiha, who was no longer skin and bones, looked around curiously again and again.

"where is this place?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked the Konoha Anbu in a deep voice.

An Anbu came out and said, "This is not your concern. Come here, we need to discuss who will attract the enemy and who will attack the Iwagakure headquarters."

After he finished speaking, he led the way. Uchiha Fugaku and others looked at each other and followed closely.

Where the candlelight was, a table came into view, on which was a map of the border between the Rain Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

Uchiha Shigeka looked at it carefully and found that the map was very detailed.

The headquarters of Iwagakure, the outposts of Iwagakure, the layout of the Iwagakure ninjas...

The Anbu ninja got straight to the point and picked up a pen and drew a circle in front of the Iwagakure headquarters.

"If we want to lure out the Iwagakure ninja, we can't be too far from the headquarters, nor too close. This is the best location."

Uchiha Fugaku looked over and said in surprise, "This place is between the sentry post and the headquarters, completely surrounded by Iwagakure ninjas. This is not the best position, it's the most dangerous one!"

Uchiha Fugaku pointed to the map and said, "The ninja troops stationed at the border must have weapons deployed. If we use Konoha's weapons as a standard, this place is within the attack range of the government office and the outposts. This is too dangerous."

The ANBU ninja said indifferently: "Didn't you say that we should attract as many Iwagakure ninjas as possible? What you said can give the Iwagakure an illusion and make them mistakenly think that we have entered their encirclement."

"It is this seemingly fatal situation that allows the Iwagakure ninja to come out boldly."

"That's what I thought, but..."

Before Uchiha Fugaku could finish his words, the Anbu ninja interrupted him and said, "That's right, the Anbu has discussed this location many times, and there is no need to change it. Now, just tell me who to send to do this."

Uchiha Fugaku and others looked unhappy. Of course they were unwilling to go to such a dangerous place.

The Anbu looked at them and reminded them: "Konoha ninjas must prioritize the Anbu's missions. If you refuse, you will be treated as a traitor!"

"Impossible. How can you be a traitor if you refuse to follow the Anbu..."

"The rules during wartime are different from those during normal times." The Anbu ninja looked at them, and the cute animal mask inexplicably carried a captivating sense of oppression.

"A reminder that the actions of the Anbu are confidential. You are all well aware of confidential matters."

The Anbu ninjas surrounded them.

Uchiha Fugaku and his group looked even gloomier. Is this how the Anbu treat ninjas from the same village?

ANBU ninja: "Tell me, who among you is going to carry out the mission to attract the Iwagakure ninja?"

Uchiha Fugaku kept thinking as he looked at the map, and finally he let out a breath.

"How many people did you ANBU send?"

"Fifty-two."

"What do you do with those weapons?"

"Our undercover agents in Iwagakure will destroy the weapons."

"Undercover?" Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up: "Yes, there is an undercover. Can you guarantee that the undercover can destroy the weapon?"

The ANBU ninja nodded: "I can guarantee it."
