Naruto: Becoming a God by Intercepting Kamui

Three days later, Danzo secretly returned to Konoha with his Root.

In the Hokage Building, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at his desk, looking down at official documents.

As he approached the abdication stage, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not become idle, but became even busier.

At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard. When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this familiar sound of footsteps, he knew that his old friend was back.

Sure enough, as the footsteps approached, Danzo's figure appeared at the door of the office.

"Why haven't we signed a peace treaty with Sunagakure for so long?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a sullen face, "It's been several months. What have you been doing in the Rain Country these past few months?"

"Huruzen, the situation has changed." Danzo's expression remained unchanged, without the slightest panic, "It's not that I don't want to sign a peace treaty with Iwagakure, but someone is trying to sabotage the relationship between us and Iwagakure, and wants to provoke us and Iwagakure to continue fighting."

"What do you mean?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "Is Hanzo trying to sabotage our peace talks with Iwagakure?"

Danzo did not answer directly, but asked another question: "Hiruzen, did you know that an organization has appeared in the Rain Country recently?"

"A new organization?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo in confusion.

New organizations in a place like the Rain Country cannot attract Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention. As the Hokage, and at the end of the war, there are too many things he needs to pay attention to.

A newly emerged organization from a small country was not even worthy of being on the Hokage's desk.

"An organization that advocates mutual understanding between people, replaces war with conversation, and believes that true peace can be achieved after people understand each other." Danzo briefly explained the philosophy of Akatsuki.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. Why did this concept give him such a strong sense of déjà vu? Wasn't it the same as Jiraiya's?

"Although young people are a little naive, their starting point is always good." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and asked doubtfully: "Their ideas are very good, maybe they will bring some changes to the Rain Country. Is there something wrong with this organization?"

"This is just an appearance. It looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but it's actually a petty theft." Danzo sneered and said, "Huruzen, as the Hokage, you don't understand this, do you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned cold, and he asked coldly: "What did they do?"

"The organization called Akatsuki disguised itself as ninjas from various ninja villages and burned, killed and looted everywhere in the Land of Rain. At the same time, they attacked ninjas from various ninja villages. What is their purpose?" Danzo said with a cold expression and cold eyes, "They just don't want our five major countries to cease fire!"

"Where is Hanzo? What is he doing? Why don't you do anything about the appearance of such an organization in our Rain Country?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Hanzo has been defeated," Danzo said lightly.

These words startled Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was a little bit unbelievable: "Hanzo was defeated? Is Akatsuki so powerful?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "It is true. I saw it with my own eyes."

"For this, my Root lost three teams, which is a heavy loss." Danzo said in a deep voice.

"What's Hanzo's current condition?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"I don't know the specific situation, I just know that Hanzo didn't suffer any serious injuries." Danzo shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "But I think Hanzo can still hold on for a while, after all, he was once known as a demigod."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was lost in thought, Danzo said: "The situation in the Land of Rain is treacherous now. We have to be on guard against this organization called Akatsuki. This organization has great ambitions."

"How much do you know about Akatsuki?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo.

"Almost nothing." Danzo shook his head.

"I know nothing~" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of opium in annoyance.

"Huruzen." Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a deep voice, "We can't just leave such a dangerous organization alone. Although Hanzo is old, he is not an easy person to deal with. Even if we can't destroy this organization, we should at least know more about it."

"Isn't this what your roots are best at?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo and said, "Now is the time for your roots to come into play!"

"Huruzen, don't you think that the Uchiha clan's recent momentum is a bit too strong?" Danzo did not respond, but talked about the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

"We now have Uchiha Fugaku, then Uchiha Shisui, and then there's Uchiha Akira. I heard that Uchiha Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi, is also a rare genius. He followed Uchiha Fugaku to the battlefield before he even started school. Don't you think the Uchiha clan seems a little too prosperous?"

Danzo said meaningfully, "On the contrary, we only have one golden flash here, and the three ninjas are all old-generation figures. It seems that there are no outstanding talents!"

"It's true that the Uchiha clan has produced many geniuses, but this is a good thing for us in Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "Shisui is the descendant of Kagami. Unlike other Uchiha, he is a Konoha ninja with the will of fire."

"I have observed Uchiha Itachi. He is a child with a strong Hokage mentality, which is a good thing for us." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"As for Uchiha Akira..." Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table unconsciously and pondered: "Uchiha Akira is different from other Uchiha. I can't tell what he is thinking..."

He didn't say anything about Uchiha Fugaku. They all knew Uchiha Fugaku's character. Indecision was the best description of his character.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said confidently: "But with Minato here, no evildoers dare to show up!"

"Hehe~" Danzo sneered, and said: "Namikaze Minato and the Uchiha clan are very close, and Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto have a very close relationship. You'd better remind him to be careful."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Minato will naturally pay attention to it. There is no need for me to remind him. Let's think about who to send to the Rain Country to collect information about that organization!"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Uchiha clan. The ninjas of the Uchiha clan are very powerful and are the most suitable to go to the current Rain Country to collect intelligence." Danzo said lightly.

"Uchiha..." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly and said, "That's an idea."

"I suggest that Uchiha Shisui be called back from the front line immediately, and have him and Uchiha Akira go into the Rain Country to collect intelligence on the Akatsuki organization." Danzo said solemnly.

"No." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Shisui is too young. This kind of mission requires an experienced ninja. Shisui's strength is qualified, but he lacks experience. We can't let him go."

Glancing at Danzo, he continued, "I have decided that when Shisui returns I will recruit him into my ANBU so that he can experience the Will of Fire more personally."

"Then let's go with Uchiha Ming. I heard that he defeated the Vulpix single-handedly. His strength is no weaker than Hanzo's current strength." Danzo said.

For him, being able to eliminate the unstable factors within the Uchiha clan is a good thing.

"Okay." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Uchiha Akira is very powerful, so it's perfect for him to go to the Rain Country for investigation."
