"Of course I know that Itachi has returned from completing his mission. What I want to ask you is how Maeda Shin died!"
As the leader of Root, Danzo naturally has an assassination list for Nations's Hardliners Nobles.
Maeda Shin is also at the top of Root's assassination list.
Danzo once organized two assassinations against Maeda Shin, but all failed without exception. In the process of failure, he even hooked up with two capable subordinates.
Now a nine year old has killed Maeda Shin which is clearly beyond the comprehension of Danzo.
It would be fine if this child was from the Yamanaka Clan or Aburame Clan, but this child happened to be from the Uchiha Clan!
Danzo is not a fool. Although Third Hokage did not put the contradiction in the open, it is obvious that Third Hokage is now targeting himself by supporting Uchiha Clan. If It is impossible to know the details of Madara Uchiha's killing of Maeda Shin, so it is possible that Root's people were killed by Madara using the same method. It is no wonder that Danzo is so anxious.
"Reporting to your lord, I have not received any specific information. I only know that Maeda Shin was killed by Fire Release."
After hearing the report from my subordinate Danzo, my hands were shaking with anger.
People were killed by people from the Uchiha Clan. What Uchiha Clan is best at is Fire Release. Do you still need to tell me this bit of information!
"Replying to Master Danzo, regarding the inspection rights of Konoha Center, Third Hokage replied that the safety inspection of Konoha Center is Uchiha Clan's responsibility. Now Since Uchiha Clan is no longer a threat, they should let their people move, otherwise they will take the village's money in vain. If Root also wants to patrol, then they must do it in the dark and in the dark. It is absolutely impossible for the Uchiha Clan to evacuate."
After being angered by the first subordinate, the second subordinate's reply made Danzo even more angry. In anger, Danzo threw away his cane.
The sound of the cane hitting the floor echoed in the empty base of Root. The two subordinates kneeling in front of Danzo could only bury their heads low for fear of being angered by their superiors.
There are various signs that Third Hokage wants to cultivate a second Fourth Hokage!
"Uchiha Itachi, it's all because of this child!"
Taking a deep breath, Danzo found the reason why he was being pressed harder and harder.
Ever since Chunin Ninja Exams Madara Uchiha came out, Third Hokage's attitude towards the Uchiha Clan has changed.
Third Hokage, who was originally in the same boat as him against the Uchiha Clan, suddenly started to protect Uchiha Clan, and even favored Uchiha Clan in terms of mission resources.
If it weren't for the patriarchs of the Aburame Clan and Yamanaka Clan complaining to me recently that the rewards for their missions were getting lower and lower, I really wouldn't have been able to discover the fishiness in this.
I am afraid that Third Hokage had quietly started taking action two years ago, but recently he has only intensified his actions.
"Send a letter to Raikō Shōta, Kumogakure, and I can provide the traces of the murderer who killed his son, as long as he gives me the recent information on Tanaka Qinghai."
Raikō Shōta, Elite Jōnin of Kumogakure, whose strength makes Danzo extremely afraid of this person is Anbu Captain of Kumogakure, and he also He is the father of Sandō Raikō; Tanaka Qinghai, Land of Lightning is one of the main war faction Nobles who owns a fiefdom, and he is also one of the mission targets assigned by Shinhiko Kōzuki.
If Madara Uchiha is the beginning of all changes, then destroy him, and Konoha will naturally return to his control.
[Third Hokage, people who have retired should stop lingering on Hokage's position. How ridiculous it is to place your hopes on a nine-year-old child!]
"Let the people responsible for patrolling the village come back."
Danzo had just given the order to exchange information with Kumogakure. Then he turned around and gave another order - only a clenched fist can deliver the strongest attack.
Uchiha Clan If they want the right to patrol the center of the village, then I will give it to them, as long as they don't regret it in the end.
Danzo's conspiracy is secretly flowing here, and Third Hokage's cultivation of Madara Uchiha is also continuing over there.
Land of Water mission target, Hoshino Jun, this person is a wealthy businessman from Land of Water. Although he cannot participate in politics, he is one of Land of Water Hardliners's important sources of funds.
The person responsible for serving as the examiner for Land of Water is Shikaku Nara from the Nara Clan.
Land of Earth mission target, Yamashita Kaede, is the political minister of Land of Earth. It is said that Iwagakure's assassination operation against Shinhiko Kōzuki was initiated by him.
The person responsible for serving as the examiner for Land of Earth is Chōza Akimichi from the Akimichi Clan.
Whether it is the assassination of Hoshino Jun or the assassination of Yamashita Kaede, it is definitely an S-level dangerous mission. After all, both of them also live in Capital in their respective countries.
Not to mention the special status of these two people, even if the target of Capital in other countries is Commoners, just the dilemma of how to escape after killing is enough to stop most Ninja, and this is not a problem in front of Madara Uchiha who owns Flying Thunder God Technique.
Of course, even if Madara doesn't have Flying Thunder God Technique, there won't actually be much of a problem, but Flying Thunder God Technique is the least labor-intensive and most effective in shocking people.
In less than a month, Land of Wind, Land of Earth, Land of Water and Nobles died one after another. Although in this era of frequent assassinations, the death of Nobles is considered normal, but the way of death of these three people is particularly special.
All of them died under the sea of fire that suddenly appeared in the daytime, and the sea of fire always appeared without any warning. From word of mouth, ordinary people even thought that this was God's punishment for these three people, but experienced Ninja knew that this was just the same kind of Ninjutsu.
Ninja generally strives to kill without leaving any traces, and the Ninja who assassinated these three people obviously deliberately used a kind of Ninjutsu and did not shy away from carrying out the assassination in front of everyone. This caused such widespread public opinion.
Obviously, Ninja, who killed these three people, was not afraid of his identity being exposed, and perhaps he was actually declaring war on the world in a special way.
"Are you back, Choza? Regarding the execution of your mission, please remember not to communicate with anyone else except Kakashi and Shikaku Nara."
After killing Yamashita Kaede, Madara Uchiha returned to the village with Chōza Akimichi. Compared with Kakashi and who quickly recovered, Shikaku Nara, Choza was still a little dazed. He looked at Madara Uchiha carefully. This child could indeed Flying Thunder God Technique, right?
Madara Uchiha killed people so fast that Choza couldn't react in time. It wasn't until Third Hokage reminded Choza again not to leak the secret that he hurriedly responded.
"The next target you want to assassinate is Tanaka Qinghai of Land of Lightning."
