"Damn it! Failed again!"
Shimura Danzō cursed angrily and slapped his palms on the table hard, making a whirring sound.
No one around him dared to provoke him, they all lowered their heads and were as silent as cicadas, not daring to speak.
After in-depth communication with Root's chief partner Orochimaru, Danzo has asked his subordinates to keep a low profile in the recent period.
But when he saw Third Hokage, who was full of energy and began to guide the village's security work, and Hyuga Clan, who fell silent, he became extremely angry.
The incident of Uchiha Itachi did not affect the authority of Third Hokage. Hyuga Clan himself was appeased. Hiruzen Sarutobi is still firmly seated in Hokage's position. When will Shimura Danzō take over?
If he doesn't make big moves now, he can still fix some small things.
It is true that he only did some small things, but his useless subordinates couldn't even do these small things well. Wasn't it just to assassinate Third Hokage? If he, Shimura Danzō, had done it himself, he would have been able to do it easily.
But of course he can't take action directly. His Sharingan and his other trump cards are all reserved for enemies who dare to harm Konoha. Especially that precious eye, which must not be used on Third Hokage.
"Okay! Everyone, get off!" Finally, he slapped the table in front of him so hard that the documents on it jumped up. Then he waved his hand and drove away his men.
Only one person did not leave. He lowered his head and waited until all the other Roots had left. Then he took out a scroll from his body. There was still disgusting mucus on the scroll, but Danzo didn't dislike it at all and opened it directly.
It is all dense experimental data, and it is not until the second half of the scroll that there is any content that Danzo is interested in.
During this period, in order to prevent the recurrence of the last theft incident, he moved all Laboratory located in the village outside the village, and all those who could conduct experiments were also moved out.
With the end of the relocation, his Laboratory started up again, and all he conducted was research on Sharingan. Danzo began to gradually transform the gains from Uchiha Clan Compound into the combat effectiveness of Root, and also into his own combat effectiveness.
The decision to assassinate Third Hokage again was also made during this process.
Those Root members who had been transplanted with Sharingan experienced varying degrees of rejection reactions. Among them, those who adapted best could not even reach the level of Hatake Kakashi, and more people even faced a significant reduction in life span, and may even die within a short period of time.
In order to make full use of the final value of these people, he sent them all out at once and arranged for them to assassinate Third Hokage.
The outcome is naturally a failure. Danzo's subordinates are not as strong as Hatake Kakashi, and Sharingan is even more unskilled. Even in a group fight, they cannot beat Third Hokage.
But they still brought a lot of trouble to Hokage, because they were not only Sharingan, but also carefully designed by Danzo, who carved the human bomb of Sealing Technique.
Root himself is doing various experiments related to Sharingan. He also outsources this work, and the contractor is Orochimaru himself.
Danzo didn't want to cooperate with Orochimaru at first, but his own research progress was too slow, and his blind attempts caused some physical problems, so he had to turn to Orochimaru for help.
The scroll in his hand was the solution given to him by Orochimaru. After reading it, even he felt his scalp numb.
But when he handed the scroll containing the solution to his chief scientist, the man praised him and called the person who came up with the solution the most powerful genius in the world.
He looked at Hokage Building with the light on in the distance, took a deep breath, then clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"Hiruzen, just wait. When I finish these Sharingan, it's time for you to have a good rest, hum..."
He turned his head and looked at his researcher, and his voice suddenly became louder. "Why are you still standing here? Didn't I tell you the solution? Why don't you hurry up and do it!"
"All of you combined are not as good as Orochimaru! A bunch of trash!"
After he finished cursing, he looked at Hokage Building in the distance again, and squeezed his hands tighter.
But the people in Hokage Building also squeezed their hands, tighter than Danzo, and their palms were full of sweat.
Asuma Sarutobi stood in front of Hokage Office's door, but he didn't open the door for a long time. I don't know if he lacked courage or for some other reason.
I heard from Anbu that Lord Hokage went out during the day today, so he has a lot of busy business backlog. If he didn't want to delay it until tomorrow, he might work overtime until very late today, but he couldn't wait here forever.
While he was struggling, a loud voice sounded at the top of the stairs.
"Asuma! You're back!"
With his watermelon head, thick eyebrows, and green tights, this person is familiar to not only the ninja circle, but also ordinary civilians in Konoha.
He Tenten ran, stood on his head, or jumped frog in the streets and alleys of Konoha, but he did not do these exercises today because he took on a task and was busy until now to finish it. Looking at Hokage Building's light that was still on, he ran back to hand in the task.
"Idiot..." Asuma scolded. He had been brewing feelings for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, Might Guy was all disrupted. Now there is only a piece of mush in his mind, and the resentment of punching the watermelon head away.
But Might Guy didn't give him any chance. He jumped up directly, hugged Asuma and patted him on the back.
"The life outside the village is very nourishing, Asuma, but you have neglected to exercise." He said with a smile.
"You are still the same as before, Might Guy." Asuma sighed and turned to look at the door of Hokage Office that had opened at some point. The familiar figure inside was looking up at the situation outside the door.
Asuma took a deep breath, pushed Might Guy in, and closed the door.
"Um...Lord Hokage?" Might Guy is so bold and bold in front of everyone, but only when facing Hokage, he seems cautious.
But his movements were not slow at all, and were even much faster than usual. He handed in the mission scroll and received the reward. The speed of each step seemed to have turned on Eight Gates Released Formation.
But Hokage didn't say a word, and slowly and leisurely finished everything. He even tidied his robe and bamboo hat, raised his head, and watched Might Guy rush out, then hurriedly pushed Asuma into the house, and then closed the door again.
