Konoha's Sea of ​​Fire

In the meeting room of Huo Ying Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Koharu and Mito Kaden once again started a small round table meeting to discuss various matters in the village.

After the Third Ninja War, the Country of Fire, as the victor, received a large number of ninja task orders from other countries. Therefore, in terms of finance, Konoha has a large surplus every year. Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been They are all making drastic changes to Konoha.

Increase spending on health and education.

Build a lot of new infrastructure.

Improve transportation.

Expand the shopping mall.

Promoting Konoha fried chicken, ahem, this doesn’t count.

Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen was involved in all these reforms. As a result, there were more and more gray hairs on his head, and the wrinkles on his face were getting deeper and deeper. Time was like a butcher's knife, and it fell on him. His face was carved to his heart's content.

Two hours later, after the four people once again drew up some new projects, the topic naturally turned to Uchiha.

"Although Uchiha Fugaku agreed to Uchiha Itachi joining ANBU, under his strong request, Uchiha Shisui withdrew from ANBU. This shows that Uchiha's alienation has not been eliminated, but has become more and more serious." Zang's opening of mouth sets the tone.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, these two have all entered the Uchiha Seal Fire Supervision Department, and this department is responsible for the surveillance of the village. To be honest, I am very worried."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette and spoke slowly: "I believe these children, they have inherited the will of fire, and they will never do anything to betray the village."

Mito Kadoyan said: "It is true that Uchiha Shisui did not leak any information about the village during his tenure in the ANBU, but Uchiha Itachi is different. He is Uchiha Fugaku's son. Father and son have a deep love. None of us can Guarantee what choice he will make”

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly. The collision between the will of fire and the love between father and son was indeed heart-wrenching.

Danzo spoke at the right time: "No matter what, Uchiha Itachi has to make his own choice, whether it is a family or a village, we must know his choice, so I suggest that he be responsible for monitoring the Uchiha clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at Danzo deeply: "Sealing Huo will take care of it, Danzo, don't worry."

"No" Danzo retorted loudly, "Hiruzhan, don't forget that Fugaku Fugaku is also from the Uchiha clan. He will definitely try every means to win him over. Using his own son Uchiha Itachi is currently the best and most effective way. Safe way”

"Yes, if Uchiha Fugaku uses Uchiha Itachi to draw Uchiha Seal Fire into the Uchiha clan, the consequences will be disastrous," Koharu said sharply, "So Hiruzen, my suggestion is to directly remove Uchiha Seal Fire's supervisory force captain position"

"Koharu, you are worrying too much." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, "Feng Huo will not do anything detrimental to the village."

"But as long as there is a one in 10,000 possibility, we have to prepare for the worst." After sleeping, Koharu had long been unhappy with Feng Huo. At this time, he seized the opportunity and just dealt with it, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel entangled. Incessantly.

Mito Kadenen also said: "Hiruzen, Uchiha Fenghuo is not only responsible for taking care of the life of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, but he is also a three-tailed Jinchuriki, and he also takes care of such an important department as the ANBU Supervision Department. If he makes any changes, the entire village will be affected." chaos"

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and was about to retort, but was interrupted by Danzo.

Danzo smiled and said: "Actually, I believe that Uchiha Sealhu will not betray, but we are not familiar with Uchiha Itachi after all, so asking him to monitor the Uchiha clan can not only confirm whether he is sincere, but also test it out. Uchiha's attitude towards sealing fire can also reassure Koharu and Men Yan, Hiruzen, what do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a slow drag on his cigarette, puffed out smoke, but did not speak again.

He had a feeling that Koharu and Men Yan forced him to revoke the position of Fenghuo, just to let him avoid the easy task and agree to Danzo's suggestion.

After the old fox figured it out, he naturally took his time and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Danzo said: "Hiruzhan and Uchiha's dissent will only become stronger day by day. One day, they will launch a coup and usurp the village's political power. Think about it, what kind of turmoil will occur in the village by then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smoking hand couldn't help but twitch.

"Even if we can suppress the Uchiha rebellion, how many ninjas will die under the Sharingan by then?" Danzo continued, "Hiruzhan, don't forget, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are always eyeing us. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood became heavier and heavier as he spoke.

According to the development of the current situation, what Danzo said is by no means alarmist, but an event that will actually happen in the future.

When the fourth generation died, Kumogakure Village brazenly launched an invasion of the Fire Country. If the entire Uchiha disappeared, Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village could still sit back and watch.

"Hiruzhan, I know you still have illusions about the Uchiha clan, so apart from monitoring them, you don't have any policy against them. But since it is just monitoring, we must do our best, otherwise if there is the slightest mistake, the entire The village will be in danger.”

The outstanding Danzo spoke again, frantically attacking Hiruzen Sarutobi's defenses.

"Let Uchiha Itachi monitor the Uchiha clan. If Uchiha Itachi chooses the family, then we will expel him from the ANBU. If he is really sincere and use him, we can master all the information about the Uchiha clan. Once Uchiha By launching a coup, we can prepare in advance.”

After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

In the current situation, Uchiha Itachi is indeed a key figure. They must confirm Uchiha Itachi's attitude.

After being defeated by the three people, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and nodded in agreement.

He could not and did not dare to gamble with the future of the village, so he really wanted to confirm Uchiha Itachi's attitude.

Danzo rolled his eyes and smiled: "Hiruzen, if Uchiha Itachi is wavering, I want to second him to the root. I believe I can help him make the most correct choice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "This matter is another matter to be discussed."

Danzo nodded, and then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His eyes flashed coldly, but he pretended not to care and asked: "Hiruzhan, speaking of which, the fourth generation has been dead for six years. His body, Seal Fire Haven’t you sent it to the Martyrs’ Tomb yet?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened: "Danzo, why do you care so much about the fourth generation's body?"

He thought about the theft of Yondaime's home. It was most likely that Danzo was collecting Yondaime's cells, and then used the dirt to reincarnate in an attempt to resurrect and enslave Yondaime. Thinking of this, nameless rage burned in his chest.

Danzo smiled lightly and said: "Actually, I have always been curious about whether the fourth generation is dead or still alive."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest suffocated with anger, and his face changed drastically: "What do you mean by this?"

"After all, none of us have seen his body, right?" Danzo looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen, with something called spinach in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended to be calm, but his heart was already in chaos.

He had always believed Feng Huo's words and believed that the fourth generation had died and his body was buried somewhere else. But at this time, Danzo's words made him have other thoughts.
