Itachi Uchiha did not agree with the idea of conquering through force, nor did he support replacing the Hokage through a coup.
Otherwise, what would be the difference between Xu Fan and the Uchiha Clan?
If Xu Fan intended to make a move against the Third Hokage, he would definitely stop him.
Because in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, becoming Hokage did not earn one everyone's recognition. Only after earning everyone's recognition could one possibly become Hokage.
So this conversation was not merely a spur-of-the-moment impulse. It was also a test he had set for Xu Fan.
Judging solely from his answer, Xu Fan had passed his test.
"Xu Fan."
Itachi Uchiha glanced at Xu Fan's profile.
Perhaps his Chakra amount was immense. Perhaps his Wood Release was masterful.
But every technique had its weaknesses.
Xu Fan was not invincible.
"We're in." Xu Fan took a deep breath. Just as his original body had expected, the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi left the village, Danzo began to act.
Countless Root members had been summoned here.
And this place was indeed well hidden.
In fact, Danzo did not make many appearances in Shippuden.
His first official appearance should have been during Pain's attack on Konoha, when he ordered all Root members to remain still, hid in the underground fortress, and even killed Mount Myōboku's messenger frog.
After that came the Five Kage Summit, followed by Sasuke hunting him down.
Because there was simply too little information about Danzo in Shippuden, Xu Fan and Itachi could only approach Danzo this way.
"Are we making our move in a place like this?"
Itachi Uchiha looked around. This was also his first time in a place like this.
"The Root Shinobi gathered here are enough to deal with a coup launched by the Uchiha Clan."
Itachi's gaze narrowed
