Preparations on Both Sides!

Back at the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat directly behind his desk, picked up the smoking pipe on it, and began puffing furiously.

Danzo paced back and forth beside him, leaning on his cane.

"Hiruzen, the Uchiha have already slipped out of control. We must find a way to purge them as soon as possible."

Hiruzen took a deep drag from his pipe, exhaling clouds of smoke.

"And what solution do you have? You saw Uchiha Senya's strength too. He won't be easy to deal with."

"More importantly! Who would have thought that Uchiha Senya had realized the Police Force's true authority? What could I possibly do about that? This was compensation given to the Uchiha by Lord Hashirama and Teacher Tobirama out of guilt over the position of Hokage!"

"Most importantly, you sent people to act! How could you leave evidence behind? Now we've lost both the bride and the troops! You have no choice but to swallow this loss, whether you like it or not!"

Hiruzen looked at Danzo with an expression of utter disappointment.

Feeling Hiruzen's gaze, Danzo first flared with rage, then felt his scalp go numb and subconsciously clenched his buttocks.

Hiruzen's look made him feel as though he were staring at him like a resentful wife.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Danzo once again considered the idea Hiruzen had forbidden many times before.

"Hiruzen, at this point, I'm afraid we must use the Nine-Tails jinchuriki and the power of sealing techniques."

Hiruzen frowned and began considering whether it was feasible.

"The Scroll of Sealing contains forbidden techniques left behind by Lord Hashirama. It cannot be used unless there is an emergency."

"As for the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, there is no need to use a jinchuriki for an internal village matter. You need to understand that the Uchiha are retaliating so madly only because of what your Root did. This has nothing to do with Konoha."

"Handle Root's affairs yourselves!"

After saying that, Hiruzen raised the pipe in his hand and continued puffing away.

Danzo ground his teeth in fury after hearing that!

"Hiruzen, you should understand that I am your other self in the darkness. Think carefully about it!"

"Once my Root is eliminated by the Uchiha, every shameful thing you have done will be exposed!"

"Besides, every document bears your written order. It is all there in black and white!"

"I can do without the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, but you must give me the sealing scroll! Otherwise, when Uchiha Senya retaliates, I'll be dead for sure! And if I die, don't think you'll get off easy either!"

Hiruzen's utterly unmoved attitude left Danzo with no choice but to threaten him and force him to comply.

Hiruzen took another hard drag from his pipe, only to accidentally inhale the smoke into his lungs.

He broke into a violent coughing fit.

Hiruzen sighed.

Whether out of his old bond with a former comrade or because of Danzo's threats,

Hiruzen ultimately nodded. He agreed and brought Danzo into the secret chamber to retrieve the sealing scroll.

After obtaining the sealing scroll, Danzo was overjoyed.

Hmph, Hiruzen, you hypocritical old bastard. In the end, I still got what I wanted.

Don't tell me you didn't know that the sealing scroll contained the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Now, the Nine-Tails jinchuriki will be mine for the taking...

Elsewhere, at Senya's home.

Senya sat at the table, slowly savoring the tea in his cup.

Fugaku sat across from him, restless as though sitting on needles, feeling as if Ants were crawling all over his body. His fingers tapped the tabletop incessantly.

He had said plenty while confronting those two idiots earlier, and after using Susanoo, nearly half of the chakra in his body had been drained.

This was all the chakra in his entire body, not his usual chakra reserves.

Most ninja normally only had access to around one-third of the chakra in their bodies. Only at the brink of life and death would their bodies unleash their hidden potential.

Generally, only ninja at the Kage level or taijutsu masters could freely control all the chakra in their bodies.

Seeing Senya looking perfectly fine and utterly relaxed, Fugaku could no longer hold back and finally spoke.

"Senya, we've completely fallen out with Danzo and Hiruzen this time. What are you planning to do next?"

Senya calmly took another sip of tea.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're like some king of panic."

"Relax. That old fossil Hiruzen won't dare do anything. Once I displayed the third stage of Susanoo, it became impossible for him to turn against us."

"Only that old scheming bastard Danzo will keep acting. We just need to wait for him to make his move."

After hearing Senya's words, Fugaku felt completely lost.

"What do you mean, king of panic? I'm talking serious business here."

"Hiruzen was ready to give the order to attack back then. Don't tell me you didn't notice. You weren't just chopping down Root ninja for fun."

Fugaku drained the tea leaves from his cup in one gulp. At that moment, he felt incredibly smart, as if his intelligence had risen and he had seen through everything!

Senya glanced at Fugaku's confident expression and sighed.

Sigh, following a genius like me has indeed improved this guy's intelligence, but only a little. He's evolved from a single-celled organism into an ape. I shouldn't have expected too much from Fugaku.

"It was precisely because he gave up on attacking then that he will never attack again in the future, understand?"

"This time, he brought almost all the Anbu directly under the Hokage."

"Ordinary jonin can no longer threaten me. No matter how many there are, they're nothing but ants to me. Didn't you see what happened to the Root ninja?"

"I attacked the Root ninja so Hiruzen would understand this truth and reality. I wanted him to stop overestimating himself and coming to me just to die. Understand?"

After hearing Senya's explanation, Fugaku looked enlightened and nodded repeatedly.

"So next, we only need to inform the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and Jiraiya."

"And wait for Root to make its move?"

Hearing Fugaku finally correctly guess the next step of the plan,

Senya finally felt a trace of accomplishment and was deeply moved.

This idiot can finally think like a person! Calling him an ape was underestimating him. Fugaku is now a perfectly normal person with sound intelligence!

"That's right. You handle the Hyuga and Ino-Shika-Cho. Leave informing Jiraiya to me."

Having understood the arrangements ahead, Fugaku turned and left. After all, it was getting late, and lately, sparks of love had been reigniting between him and Mikoto. He was now eager to give Itachi and Sasuke another little brother or sister.

Only after Fugaku left did Senya begin calculating the next stage of his plan.

He raised his head and looked at the moon outside the window.

Jiraiya, I may have to wrong you a little next. This can't be considered selling out a teammate. It's just necessary for the plan...
