Danzo's reinstatement was terrible news for the Uchiha Clan. Of course, it was even worse news for spies from other villages.
When dealing with the Uchiha, Danzo would openly monitor them and oppose them at every turn. In secret, he would arrange for their geniuses and promising youngsters to suffer assassination attempts by enemy nations, one after another.

What a joke. I may be ruthless and underhanded, but I'm not stupid. Showing off a little right after returning was one thing, but biting my own people the moment I came out? What would everyone think of me? They'd say I had rabies! Then I'd have to crawl back into hiding again.
As for the Uchiha, there was no need to rush. They could settle their accounts slowly. For now, he would slaughter the little pigs he had fattened up over the years.

Checking the time, she called a halt to Kushina's training and gave her a few instructions.
