"Itachi, according to your ideas, what should we do?"
After pondering for a long time, Third Hokage threw the problem of how to deal with Danzo to Madara Uchiha.
"The original intention of Lord Hokage and Root is to do some secret tasks for you that ANBU can't do. If Root is alienated from you, then there is no need for this organization to exist. Considering Danzo Mr.'s hard work has paid off, I suggest you disband Root, take back Root to ANBU that belongs directly to you, and let Mr. Danzo stand in front of the stage and be the Senior Advisor of our Konoha."
With Madara Uchiha's temperament, Danzo must be killed, but unfortunately now he is just Uchiha Itachi.
On the one hand, it is impossible for Third Hokage to break with Danzo just because of Danzo's transgression. On the other hand, Madara Uchiha also needs to disguise himself as a descendant of the appeasement faction. He cannot expose the radical side of Madara's nature to Third Hokage.
After hearing Madara Uchiha's answer, not only Third Hokage, but also Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura fully recognized Madara Uchiha's sensibleness.
From the shadow of Hokage to the secret king of Konoha, the reason why Danzo has become more and more unscrupulous has a lot to do with the connivance of his three former comrades.
Danzo has already arranged for someone to assassinate Madara Uchiha. Madara can take the overall situation into consideration and forgive Danzo. Naturally, if these consultants make mistakes in the future, they will not be held accountable.
"Your suggestion is very good, but the problem is that Root is too powerful now. There are only five subordinates of Danzo who are close to or reach the level of Jōnin. If With the opposition of these five people, and the resistance of Danzo, it will not be easy for us to win over Root. You and Kai should go back first, we still need to take a long-term approach to win over Root."
Madara's suggestion is actually something Third Hokage has always wanted to do, but some things are not something you can accomplish just by thinking about it.
With Danzo Root's style of doing things, even if Madara and Kai killed the six Ninjas of Root, they would not be able to get any clues related to Root from these dead people, not to mention that the bodies of these people are still left in Land of Lightning.
Madara and Kai accuse Danzo, and Third Hokage believes them, but this does not mean that Danzo will be stupid enough to admit it directly. As long as Danzo does not admit it, then Third Hokage does not have enough conditions to dissolve Root.
On the other hand, Root is very powerful, and Third Hokage is not willing to risk civil war to do this.
"If it is Five-Man Squad from Root, then they should be the ones who intercepted Itachi and me. Besides them, there is another person who should be Yamanaka Fū from the Yamanaka Clan."
Third Hokage had just finished expressing his concerns when Kai's next words immediately set off a storm in Third Hokage's heart.
"You said that Root and Five-Man Squad were killed by the two of you when you were escaping?"
"Yes, Lord Hokage, although I don't know much about Root, but after all, these five of them have become Jōnin, so I am deeply impressed by them, Yamanaka Fū is also a famous genius of his generation, and I have a deep impression on him. It was Root who sensed us first when we were escaping. He must be the one who has such a large-scale detection capability."
Third Hokage looked at Kai and Madara Uchiha carefully.
Although I had long heard that Kai was strong enough to rival Kakashi in Jōnin, and although I had long known that Madara was definitely as strong as Jōnin, the fact that the two of them could kill five Jōnin and Yamanaka Clan's Yamanaka Fū at the same time still shocked Third Hokage.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
After the brief shock, Third Hokage immediately realized that now was the best time to seize power Danzo.
"Two consultants, do you want to go with us?"
Lord Hokage, who had been sitting there, stood up. He turned his head and looked at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who had been with him and Danzo for decades, waiting for their answers.
"Let's go together. With us here, Danzo will have more worries."
Although Third Hokage adopted a policy of appeasement, it was a concession he made for peace.
From childhood to adulthood, when Hiruzen Sarutobi really decided to do something, no one except the dead Second Hokage could change his decision. If not, Third Hokage's position would not be occupied by Hiruzen.
"Itachi, you wait for me here. Kai, you go and summon ANBU, Kakashi. You bring my souvenir and call the clan leader of the Uchiha Clan."
After confirming that the two Senior Advisor also supported him, Third Hokage quickly issued the order. In an instant, Kai and Kakashi, who had been hiding in the dark to protect Hokage, rushed out at the same time.
Not long after, Third Hokage took off his Hokage Robe and put on a simple combat uniform. At the same time, he was holding a thick and long stick in his hand. I think this should be his special weapon.
While Third Hokage changed into combat equipment, the two Senior Advisor also changed into combat attire. At the same time, Kai brought dozens of Anbu Ninja to Downstairs from Hokage Office, Kakashi and Uchiha Fugaku, together with the Uchiha Clan's five elites Ninja, also rushed to Third Hokage's side.
As Third Hokage's fingers moved slightly, a group of people headed by Third Hokage quickly sneaked towards Root Base.
In Root Base, Shimura Danzō is sitting alone in an empty and dark room, thinking constantly.
The news that Madara Uchiha killed Tanaka Qinghai had been learned by him as early as one day before Madara and Kai secretly returned. At this time, he had not received any news from his subordinates in return.
Have all the subordinates you sent out been killed?
In Danzo's mind, this is an impossible thing. Even if Kai and Madara are powerful, Danzo has equipped his team with Yamanaka Fū, the strongest perception system among Root, Ninja. Even if they can't defeat it, is it possible that their direct troops still can't escape?
"Uchiha Itachi, is this boy so good?"
Danzo, who was alone, muttered Madara's name to himself, and a very bad premonition hit Danzo's heart.
Is it possible that Hokage Position will be controlled by a junior who is much younger than himself?
When he thought of this, Danzo's eyes turned sinister, and a vicious plan came to his mind.
I have the impression that the eyes of Shisui Uchiha awakened a very powerful Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami. This Genjutsu can change the thinking of others.
If you take Shisui's eyes and use Kotoamatsukami to command Madara Uchiha to kill all Uchiha Clan, wouldn't it be wonderful to eliminate Madara's eyesore and cut off Third Hokage's new minions?
