After discussing the matter with Uchiha Fugaku Danzo to persuade Hiruzen Sarutobi. Ultimately, based on his years of understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he successfully convinced Uchiha to Hiruzen Sarutobi clan to appear on the battlefield.
In return, the Uchiha Clan would provide a team of elite ninjas, nearly equivalent to Anbu squadron, consisting of twelve Uchiha who had awakened the Mitsudomoe Jonin, to help Root fight against the Light Organization.
Back at the Root Base, Danzo summoned a ninja and asked, "I had you investigate the origins of all the members of the Light Organization. Did you find anything? Putting aside the other two, that Ice Release user definitely came from the Yuki Clan Kirigakure. Do our spies in the Land of Water have any information?"
Danzo knew that Ice Release was unique to the Land of Water, and that finding answers from the Land of Water might be better for dealing with the Ice Release users of the Light Organization. If he could figure out the identities of the Ice Release users, it would definitely be helpful for the subsequent extermination plan.
The Root ninja who had been summoned knelt on one knee and replied, " Lord Danzo, our informants in the Land of Water haven't found any trace of Ice Release user, and we haven't heard of any great clan possessing Ice Release having ever produced a genius comparable to the Ice Release user of the Light Organization. Therefore, I suspect that the Ice Release user of the Light Organization might be the offspring of someone with Ice Release blood who was separated from their family. If that's the case, our informants will face immense difficulties in their investigation, and we'll find it hard to find any useful clues in the short term."
Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, Danzo narrowed his eyes and pondered.
He knew very well the strength of the Ice Release user. If such a powerful person appeared in the Land of Water, there would be no way he would leave no trace. Therefore, he could only grow up alone outside.
In other words, exploring the Land of Water would likely be a waste of time.
Even so, he would not give up the investigation; any clue would be worthwhile.
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but we still can't give up on the clues about the Land of Water. The Yuki Clan in the Land of Water is the source of Ice Release, and Ice Release users are definitely related to them."
"Yes, Lord Danzo." After saying that, the Root ninja who was kneeling on one knee suddenly disappeared.
After the Root ninjas disappeared, the base fell silent once again.
Meanwhile, within the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku summoned the clan's high-ranking members and elders overnight to inform them of Danzo's intention to cooperate with the Uchiha Clan.
"Everyone has heard clearly, right? Danzo wants to cooperate with us and is willing to lift the restrictions on us, allowing us to step onto the battlefield and gain merit. So, what are your thoughts? Speak them now, and we'll discuss them properly." Fugaku looked around at the elders and strong members of the clan before speaking slowly.
Upon hearing Fugaku say that they could step onto the battlefield and fight for the glory of the Uchiha, the people around him immediately became excited. Regardless of whether it was in cooperation with Danzo, they agreed without hesitation, saying, "Clan leader, it doesn't matter whether we help Danzo or Konoha. As long as it brings corresponding benefits to the Uchiha, that's fine."
"Yes, Chieftain. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, who knows how long we'll have to wait."
Everyone present knew that this might be the Uchiha Clan's last chance to enter the battlefield. Given the current situation, unless Konoha suffered significant losses or a new ninja village attacked Konoha, the Uchiha Clan could forget about ever appearing on the battlefield.
Therefore, for the Uchiha Clan, who are eager to achieve great things, simply stepping onto the battlefield is a victory.
They were confident that with the strength of the Uchiha Clan, they could easily gain merits as long as they stepped onto the battlefield.
When the war ends and rewards are distributed, Hokage Uchiha Clan will definitely reap huge benefits. If their achievements are outstanding enough, they might even have a chance at becoming Hokage.
Thinking about it this way, most of the Uchiha Clan present became even more excited, eager to enter the battlefield immediately and make their mark.
However, some of the more rational Uchiha leaders were not blindly optimistic. They were well aware Danzo Uchiha, so why would he be so kind as to deliberately offer such a good opportunity? Therefore, this cooperation must have secrets or dangers that they were unaware of.
Therefore, a high-ranking member of the Uchiha Clan poured cold water on the jubilant clansmen around him, saying, "Don't be too optimistic. Given Danzo's dislike for the Uchiha, why would he give us such an opportunity? This cooperation might just be a trap that will cost us the Uchiha's lives."
Such a stern remark brought the Uchiha Clan, who were lost in their beautiful illusions, back to reality.
Indeed, Danzo isn't the kind of person who would give them a chance. Could there really be a serious problem with this mission?
At this moment, a high-ranking member, heeding the warning, calmly asked Uchiha Fugaku, "Clan head, regarding Danzo's stated cooperation target, the Light Organization, what kind of organization is it? Why does Danzo's Root want to cooperate with us?"
Although the Light Organization is powerful, its strength is mostly known among the high-ranking members of the battlefield. The lower-ranking ninjas don't know much about it, let alone the Uchiha Clan, who have been out of the battlefield for some time.
This question jolted the Uchiha present. Yes, how powerful must an organization be if even Root couldn't handle it?
Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the first seat, smiled with satisfaction upon hearing the question.
He was genuinely afraid that his people only saw the benefits but failed to see the risks involved.
He had specifically researched this Light Organization and knew it was definitely not easy to deal with.
" The Light Organization was initially discovered by Kōki Itō. He even fought a member of the Light Organization, but surprisingly, Kōki Itō, who inherited the First Wood Release, was unable to defeat the member of the Light Organization and instead fought her to a draw."
Fugaku's words startled the Uchiha Clan present.
That was a monstrous ninja who inherited the First Wood Release; how could anyone possibly fight such a powerful opponent to a draw?
Although the Uchiha has a natural hostility towards Wood Release Wood Release, it doesn't diminish their respect for it, since it's the power that allowed them to rival their ancestor, Madara Uchiha.
Moreover, the ninja with Wood Release was a prodigy who, at around nine years old, defeated many Kage Level opponents and subdued multiple Tailed Beast, a feat that earned them their utmost respect.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant they are, they would never look down on Kōki Itō.
A high-ranking Uchiha, his face filled with disbelief, swallowed hard and asked, "Clan leader, you must be mistaken. How could anyone in the Shinobi World possibly be able to withstand someone as powerful as Kōki Itō?"
Clearly, this Uchiha hoped his clan leader was just joking. After all, if the Light Organization was truly that powerful, it meant that agreeing to cooperate with Root would be suicidal, and that the Uchiha's return to the battlefield would be a distant dream.
But unfortunately, he was wrong.
Fugaku shook his head. "This was said by Kōki Itō himself in front of Lord Jiraiya. I believe that in such a serious setting, Kōki Itō wouldn't exaggerate the facts."
"Furthermore, the Light Organization later defeated Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze from our frontline camp and took away the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi. So this organization is far from simple."
Now the Uchiha members no longer harbored any illusions and had to accept one fact: this Light Organization was truly terrifying.
So the question is, do they really want to cooperate with Danzo?
