"So, the Yang Organization has reappeared? Is its goal to Kekkei Genkai?"
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen rested his chin on his hand, his face looking quite grim.
Uchiha Kei nodded.
"Even the weakest among them are Jonin..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen a bit of a headache.
The Shinobi World had only been at peace for a few years when this organization suddenly appeared.
Is lasting peace really that difficult?
For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also somewhat confused.
"Lord Hokage, what is Konoha's opinion on the Yang Organization?"
Mei Terumi, who was standing to the side, seized the opportunity to speak.
Of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha is the strongest.
If Konoha were willing to unite with the other villages, the Yang Organization's living space would be further compressed.
The combined power of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is something even the Yang Organization would have to think twice about, right?
"Opinion? Guest from the Kirigakure, what does that sentence mean?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"I believe that the Lord Hokage can see the threat posed by the Yang Organization, right?"
Mei Terumi a charming smile.
"If they dare to go to our Kirigakure, they will surely come to Konoha as well."
"After all... Konoha's Kekkei Genkai is much more tempting than our Kirigakure's."
Uchiha Kei gave Mei Terumi a commendatory look.
No wonder he was able to become the Fifth Mizukage.
The way Huo Shuidong used this tactic was truly masterful.
However, Mei Terumi is not wrong.
Although there are only two types of Kekkei Genkai in Konoha, each of them is something that drives ninjas crazy.
The Hyuga Clan possesses unparalleled insight into the Byakugan!
The Uchiha Clan's incredibly mysterious Sharingan!
Moreover, these two Kekkei Genkai...
They're mass-produced in Konoha!
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused in his movement of picking up the pipe.
She looked at Mei Terumi with some surprise.
"Hehe, the guest from Kirigakure is quite right. The Yang Organization is indeed a common enemy of the entire Shinobi World."
After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his gaze to Uchiha Kei.
"Jing, you discovered both pieces of intelligence about the Yang Organization. What's your take on that?"
What do I think?
I stood there watching...
Uchiha Kei muttered to himself.
That old fox, whoever takes the blame for this kind of thing will be held responsible.
It's good that the Yang Organization was eliminated.
If it's not eradicated, and the casualties are heavy...
The person who agreed will likely be branded with shame.
"Lord Hokage, you surely already have the answer in your heart, so why ask me?"
Uchiha Kei laughed, a laugh that was innocent and pure.
Naruto, his two companions, and Mei Terumi all took a step back simultaneously.
This guy...
Trying to scam people!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback, not understanding what Naruto and the others meant.
"Hehe, you're quite the veteran now, so your experience is naturally very rich."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled very kindly.
"Just from the fact that you've been called Konoha's God of Wealth for three years, your strategic vision and intellect are enough to get you involved in Konoha's major decisions."
Uchiha Kei's smile grew even sweeter.
"My cleverness is nothing more than a trick; Lord Hokage flatter me."
"After all, I'm only eleven years old this year..."
Uchiha Kei blinked, looking like an innocent and naive young boy.
"It's just a baby."
Sarutobi Hiruzen:...
Naruto and his two companions:...
Mei Terumi:...
I've learned something new!
Mei Terumi took a deep breath.
Decisive and ruthless!
His strength is comparable to that of Kage Level!
This person actually has the audacity to say today that he's still a baby!
With skin this thick, even Tailed Beast Bomb couldn't penetrate it, right?
Sarutobi Hiruzen also took a few quick breaths.
He believed he already had a thick skin.
But today we've truly met our match.
"Age doesn't define you. The greater your ability, the greater the responsibility you must bear, don't you agree, Jing?"
"Right!"
Uchiha Kei.
"Therefore, I believe that besides the Hokage, the person most qualified to speak on this matter is..."
"Danzo!"
Everyone in the office was stunned by these words.
Among them was Danzo, who stood in the corner with a gloomy face.
Danzo taken aback at first, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.
He's not afraid of any Yang Organization.
Before the root of all things, these are nothing but clowns.
He needs an opportunity!
An opportunity to step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight!
And now, Uchiha Kei has handed this opportunity over to him!
"Danzo?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen deeply.
During this period, his conflict with Danzo intensified considerably.
The reason is that the Konoha Daily actually reported on the Root!
It details a lot about the Root.
Those despicable acts, one after another, not only infuriated the Konoha, but also disgusted him to no end.
Is it these despicable things that he cares about?
No, that's not the case.
What he cares about is whether he, as Hokage, can escape responsibility once Root is exposed.
Fortunately...
The Konoha Daily only reported on Root, without explaining that Root was an underground organization of Konoha.
This made him even more eager to dismantle the roots.
Therefore, his several conversations with Danzo ended unhappily.
"Lord Hokage, do you think I'm not good enough?"
Upon seeing the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo's anger began to flare.
What's there to be silent about?
Is he really not even as good as a little brat?
He's still that evil Uchiha brat!
"It's not that it's impossible, but..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very troubled.
Could it be that he's trying to shift the blame onto Uchiha Kei, preparing for the elimination of the Uchiha Clan?
Why can't Danzo understand this?
"That works!"
Danzo strode up to the Hokage's desk.
"Leave this to me. What Yang Organization? They're just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen's reply and strode away triumphantly.
As he was leaving, he glared at Uchiha Kei, but his usual ferocity was much less pronounced.
Uchiha Kei nodded at him with a grin.
Seeing Danzo nowhere to be seen, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wide enough to fit an orange.
Why is Danzo always so eager to take the blame for these kinds of things?
Like or hobby?
"Lord Hokage, since Danzo has accepted this task, shall I leave now?"
Uchiha Kei was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.
There was even a hint of regret on his face.
"Huh? Oh..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to awaken from a dream.
"Of course, you've worked hard these past few days, Jing."
Uchiha Kei watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile quickly transformed into a benevolent one, and he Sarutobi Hiruzen his tongue in amazement.
How does an old fox become an old fox?
Because though your heart is full of schemes, your face remains as calm as still water!
Uchiha Kei bowed and left the Hokage's office.
Naruto and the others did the same, leaving with him.
Sitting in the chair, Sarutobi Hiruzen up his pipe in a daze and took a deep drag.
"Call..."
A puff of thick smoke was exhaled, instantly filling the entire Hokage's office with a hazy mist.
This pot...
How did Danzo it?
He was even quite pleased with himself for reciting it...
That shouldn't be the case...
