Hokage Office.
"The purpose of Danzo is already obvious."
Third was sitting at his desk and puffing away. This so-called Konoha High Command meeting had already returned to the office from the conference room and was talking behind closed doors.
"He has won the support of Daimyo and plans to let Uchiha help him clear obstacles."
"His ambitions are greater than I thought before... If Orochimaru's speculation is correct, then Danzo may want more than just Fourth Hokage."
Third Hokage may not be the strongest Hokage.
But it is definitely the most "lasting" Hokage.
From the energetic young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes back then, to the old lion greeting the sunset now.
Third's judgment is still very experienced.
"Not just Fourth Hokage?"
Utatane Koharu obviously does not have the same judgment and vision as Third.
Danzo I regretted it for most of my life because I didn't stand up in time.
Utatane Koharu has no similar regrets.
In the final analysis, the main reason why this elder is the absolute top executive of Konoha is his seniority.
And for people like this, there is also Mitokado Homura.
"Are you thinking too much, Monkey..."
Mitokado Homura frowned in displeasure and said, "It is Uchiha who has a rebellious heart now, not Danzo who is thousands of miles away."
"Danzo can get the support of Daimyo, which does no harm to Konoha, Monkey."
"Indeed."
Utatane Koharu also said with some confusion, "Compared to Danzo, Uchiha is the problem we urgently need to deal with now."
"It's time to make a decision, Third."
Orochimaru's plan didn't work.
When the two elders had to deal with Danzo and Uchiha, there was no doubt that they would only choose the latter.
For the two elders, this has never been a two-choice question.
However, in the end, only Third can make the decision.
The answers given by the two elders can only be "bait" to push Third to make a decision...
"..."
Third sighed and responded with silence.
He has already guessed what "Danzo" is going to do...
Sunagakure of Land of Wind has surrendered, and Iwagakure of Land of Earth is still holding back.
In addition, Land of Fire's Konoha...Second Shinobi World War, the place where the fighting is fiercest, is now in a state of silence.
The former Land of Rain has now become the section of Land of Fire by default.
Then the purpose of Danzo is not difficult to guess...
If the territories of the three major countries can be regarded as a plate.
Then the location of Land of Rain is undoubtedly the core area of this plate.
The owner of this area is now "Danzo".
If Danzo can convince Daimyo to regard Land of Rain as Land of Fire's new ninja organization, and ban Konoha...
Then Danzo's authority will definitely be unprecedented.
He can even command ninjas from three ninja villages at the same time!
Iwagakure has a grudge against Konoha?
No... all hatred can be eliminated, it just depends on the price.
At least from Third's point of view, Danzo can let Uchiha bear all the hatred, and can even use "disbanding Konoha" as a bargaining chip on the negotiation table.
With its unique geographical location and absolute interests, Danzo is fully capable of promoting this matter.
Third knows this very well.
After all, he is Danzo...
But at this moment, Third has no intention of expressing his suspicions.
Because he is not sure about the positions of these two "old friends"...
Danzo's ambitions are indeed great.
The risks of doing so are also high.
Once it fails, Konoha will most likely become a joke.
But once successful...
Third looked at Hokage Rock outside the window.
Will the inheritance of Konoha be considered by Danzo?
There are too many factors for Third to make an accurate judgment at this moment.
But one thing he knew very well.
This inheritance must not end during his term of office.
"If Uchiha wanted to rebel, then when Uchiha Madara left Konoha, they would have chosen to leave together."
Third turned around and looked at the two elders.
"They just won the battle and the clansmen suffered heavy losses. You two should stop being harsh..."
"In the final analysis, Ruohuo is just a child. Guidance is greater than criticism."
Third said in a calm tone, "I will let Orochimaru educate this child well. Uchiha will also recuperate in Konoha and temporarily stop all war activities."
"This matter ends here, I don't want..."
Dong dong dong--
Hokage There was a knock on the office door.
It's very urgent, and something big is happening.
If the matter discussed at the moment was not too sensitive, in the past, it would have been possible to report directly to the door.
"Come in!" Third responded.
The office door was then opened, and a Anbu appeared, knelt on one knee, and quickly reported, "Lord Third, Lady Tsunade are fighting with Uchiha Ruohuo."
"The scale of the battle has escalated to a B-level situation. Anbu tried to stop it, but was stopped by the Uchiha Clan's clan members."
"They claim that this is a challenge from the Senju Clan patriarch to the Uchiha Clan patriarch, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb it."
Before Anbu finished reporting, Third had already taken out Crystal Ball!
Hand Seals, inject chakra, link Konoha barrier, lock the observation position, Telescope Technique, turn on!
The scene inside Crystal Ball made Third's expression gradually dull...
The red skeleton giant stands on the ruins of Konoha Military Police Force.
Its bones seemed to be burning with blazing fire, glowing with a strange red light.
Its opponent was a blond woman with heroic movements. She jumped up high and punched the Susanoo giant. The Susanoo giant crossed its arms to block it, but it was retreating steadily, and its bones showed signs of collapse!
There were many people around watching the battle.
Uchiha Clan is the main body, there are also many villagers, and members of other large and small families...
The excitement at the scene was comparable to that of the Chunin assessment, but no one cheered or cheered for this fierce battle.
There was both awe and nervousness in their eyes. The ruins of Konoha Military Police Force, Kakkō intertwined with dust, reflected this contest of strength and wisdom.
The skeleton giant was retreating steadily under the attack of Tsunade. Every collision seemed to tell the glory and crisis of Senju and Uchiha.
"The power of Tsunade... can't even Susanoo bear it?"
Utatane Koharu ignored Konoha Military Police Force, which was in ruins, and sighed.
"Tsunade is the granddaughter of Lord First after all. How can a little Uchiha brat deal with it..."
Mitokado Homura also has a very relaxed tone.
Third didn't say anything, but silently thought about the two elders' attitudes towards Tsunade.
But this time.
"Tsk tsk..."
The Anbu who came to report stood up, and under a burst of white smoke, he turned into a certain Uchiha kid!
"The two elders... are you looking down on me too much?"
