Because every member of Root had been branded with the special Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal by Shimura Danzō, no one could ever willingly or unwillingly reveal any information about him. And because of Jiraiya and the two Advisors, they couldn't use any unconventional methods on Root's Anbu members either. With no way to learn what Danzō was actually up to, Jiraiya could only hurry to notify Tsunade, who was already on her way toward the Land of Iron, through the Anbu's special internal intelligence network.
With no way to figure out what Danzō was after,
they had to prepare for the worst.
Even the two Advisor elders, who had always chosen to trust Shimura Danzō, couldn't help feeling a faint trace of doubt at this moment.
The Shinobi World was like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest spark.
Setting aside the past grudges and current tensions between the Five—no, the Six Great Ninja Villages, the threat posed by the Akatsuki alone was already a serious problem. If anything else went wrong under these circumstances, a world war could erupt at any moment. And this war would likely surpass any of the first three Shinobi World Wars in scale, largely because of the unique presence of the Akatsuki and the Snow Ninja Village.
An uncontrollable war.
Unlike that arrogant, conceited old fool Danzō,
Utatane and Mitokado still had a little sense left, enough to recognize that their own village, Konohagakure, was at its weakest point in history. The two Advisors were genuinely worried about the difficult position their village would face if war broke out!
The older generation had declined completely, while the new generation had yet to fully mature.
Most importantly, their Jinchuriki had defected and become one of their greatest enemies.
All of this was enough
