People raise Hokage in Yunyin

A few days after the funeral, Konoha Village gradually returned to its former glory.

It was night, in the reception room of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Kaiichi were sitting around the table.

The three are representatives of the new generation of Pig, Deer and Butterfly. Since ancient times, the three tribes have been advancing and retreating together. Whenever a decision is made, the three tribes will discuss it together.

"Konoha is really hard to understand these days!"

Yamanaka Haiichi suddenly said that in recent Konoha, in addition to a large number of ninjas from the ninja clan, a new group has appeared. A large number of civilian ninjas have joined the "Root" organization and acted as a group.

Under the banner of "Everything is for Konoha", people were recruited into the organization everywhere. Civilian ninjas were basically included, and now lobbyists came to ask for people every day.

"Danzo also came to visit today and expressed the hope that some ninjas from our Akimichi family would join their 'roots' and shine for Konoha."

Akimichi Choza also spoke, with helplessness written on his face.

"Civilian ninjas are only secondary. Danzo's real target is ninjas like us."

"Most of the civilian ninjas have been included in his 'roots', and he can use his coercion to force us ninjas to join in large numbers."

Nara Shikaku's face looked a little ugly. He clearly saw Danzo's thoughts, but there was nothing he could do.

There is currently no Hokage, and no one can suppress Danzo.

The other senior officials in the village chose to ignore Danzo's behavior again, which was a bad sign.

"Before coming here, I asked Akimichi Tōfū, the jounin of the clan. He was a classmate of Elder Shimura Danzō." Akimichi Choza suddenly said.

"According to Tofeng-senpai, Shimura Danzo is the person who inherited all the dark will of the second generation Senju Tobirama, and he may have gone too far in some aspects. In terms of his personality, he must retaliate."

After a pause, Akimichi Choza added.

‘Is the second generation thinking? ’

Nara Shikaku fell into deep thought.

Judging from the behavior of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, it is easy to guess his thoughts. He established a ninja school, formed an ANBU, and recruited outstanding young people from various ninja clans as disciples to pass on his ideas.

The Nidaime undoubtedly hopes that all ninja clans will gradually integrate into Konoha and become a whole, while giving civilian ninjas a better way to rise.

In the long run, this is undoubtedly an excellent policy that will gradually enhance Konoha's strength and make Konoha more united.

But if you want to achieve it in the short term, or do it more radically... Nara Shikaku thought of what Danzo had done recently.

He demanded the power of the ninja clan more urgently, prompting each ninja clan to stand in line, forcing all the ninja clan with strong power and numerical superiority, without caring about face, and... suppressing the Uchiha clan even more fiercely.

Danzo's actions against the ninja clan made a few people a little angry, but compared to the situation faced by the Uchiha clan - being monitored and excluded everywhere, a few people felt a little lucky.

But no matter what, the interests of the ninja clan were going to be hit, and Shikaku looked bitter.

"Let some ninjas join the 'Root', and at the same time, let the clansmen restrain themselves a little bit recently, so as not to let others take advantage of us. We also try to reduce gatherings as much as possible, and don't give the idea of ​​​​unity to outside ninja clans."

Nara Shikaku finally made a decision, and he had basically understood Shimura Danzo's plan.

"Also... let the clansmen stay away from the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan is competing with Danzo for Hokage. We cannot give others the illusion of supporting the Uchiha clan."

Thinking of Danzo's vengeful character, Shikaku felt that the Uchiha clan might be facing a reckoning in the future.

"It's almost certain that Danzo will become Hokage. The next step is to suppress the ninja clan, which is politically correct. We must make plans to cut the losses."

Nara Shikaku spoke clearly and reminded his two friends.

The three of them all looked a little heavy, and after repeated discussions, they dispersed.

-

On the other side of Konoha, inside the dark root base.

Danzo was telling his men about his lofty ambitions.

"Ryoma, do you know the purpose of my recent actions?"

Danzo Shimura stood with his hands behind his back and spoke in a deep tone.

"I don't know, but it must be an important decision that is beneficial to Konoha!"

Aburame Ryoma knelt on one knee and looked at Danzo's back with a fervent expression.

Shimura Danzo nodded slightly, very satisfied with Ryoma's performance, and then began his explanation.

"When the teacher was alive, he hoped that all the ninja clans would integrate into Konoha and make Konoha more prosperous. However, after the teacher's death, Hiruzen failed to do this."

"He is too weak! He only knows how to play with balance."

Danzo hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. His teacher's long-cherished wish, Hiruzen, has not been fulfilled for decades, and now he will fulfill it himself.

"I will let most Konoha ninjas join the 'root' department. In this way, those ninjas who have not joined the 'root' department will inevitably be squeezed out." Danzo explained.

"With this trend, the Ninja clan cannot refuse our invitation."

"Those ordinary ninjas can serve as peripheral members of the 'root' and only need regular ideological education. But for those truly outstanding ninjas, we must fully control them and let them serve Konoha wholeheartedly!"

Danzo stretched out his palm, as if the entire Konoha was in his palm.

"In this way, in a few decades, our 'roots' will contain all secret techniques. If the ninja clan cannot be integrated into Konoha by then, then there is no need for them to exist. The secret technique ninjas in the roots will be able to replace them. role!”

Danzo's tone was gloomy. As long as he follows his plan, within 20 years, when a new generation of ninjas grow up, Konoha will become a whole.

"Lord Danzo is wise. As long as such a plan is successfully implemented, Konoha will become stronger!"

The Aburame Ryoma behind him looked at Danzo with admiration. Even if the Aburame clan was also planned to be destroyed, it would not have the slightest impact on him.

A ninja who sticks to one clan has too narrow a vision, everything is for Konoha!

All ninjas who deeply understand the idea of ​​"root" agree with this.

"The first step of the plan is that I want to become Hokage. Only when I become Hokage can I remove all obstacles."

Danzo waved his hand and Qi Yu said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

"We have received the support of many small clans. At the same time, Danzo-sama, you are currently quite famous among civilian ninjas."

Aburame Ryoma quickly reported the current progress.

"It's just that...several big clans like Inorakacho are still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude. The Sarutobi clan has not expressed its stance yet, and the Uchiha clan has made it clear that it supports its clan leader to become Hokage."

"Pig Deer Butterfly...heh..."

Danzo made a disdainful sound, but he was just a faggot following the Sarutobi clan. After a few days, they would understand the situation clearly and they would definitely lead him.

The Sarutobi clan is not a big problem. After all, they are the same clan as Hiruzen. As he and Hiruzen are friends, they can always get support.

As for the Uchiha... Danzo's face turned cold. He firmly believed in his teacher's opinion that the Uchiha clan were all evil ninjas and deserved his vigilance.

"Strengthen the surveillance of the Uchiha clan, let those small clans stabilize the Uchiha, and at the same time spread scandals about the Uchiha among the civilians."

Danzo soon made a decision. Without the support of high-level officials and the common people distrusting Uchiha, it would be impossible for the Uchiha clan to become Hokage.

But what if he becomes Hokage and the Uchiha clan rebels?

This is Danzo's worry that has been buried deep in his heart. He firmly believes that no one can stop him from becoming Hokage, but he is also worried about the power of the Uchiha clan.

"Master Danzo!"

Ryoma's call interrupted Danzo's contemplation, and Danzo turned to look at Ryoma in confusion.

"This is the information I received today. Lord Jiraiya has left the village."

"Did he leave any message?"

"He informed the two elders that he was leaving the village to find Tsunade, and at the same time he was looking for the son of the fourth generation Namikaze Minato."

Danzo Shimura's heart tightened, looking for Tsunade?

Jiraiya never told him about this matter, and Koharu and Men Yan agreed without consulting him. This shows that they are still hesitating now. If Tsunade returns to the village at this time...

Danzo felt time was running out and he needed to become Hokage quickly.
