Root.
"Lord Danzō, can't the village and the Uchiha Clan coexist peacefully?"
After some time had passed, Minato Namikaze gradually accepted the fact that he had been resurrected.
There was just one thing he could not quite adapt to.
The body created by Impure World Reincarnation felt no pain and had no need for sleep, no appetite, no sense of cold or warmth.
It was as though his body had been made of earth, devoid of any sensation.

"This is for the sake of the village's future. Drawing Itachi and Shisui to our side was the right decision."
Shimura Danzō knew what Minato Namikaze was referring to.
He had only just arranged for Itachi to take the Chunin Exams as an exception, all to win him over.
"But raising someone from a clan to be a spy is far too despicable a method. Besides, he's only a child."
"No, Minato. You're too young."
Shimura Danzō looked at the indecisive Minato Namikaze and sneered inwardly.

Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.
