Chapter 79: Why Did Danzo-sama Betray The Village?
"The Aburame Clan raises a large number of insects. It is inconvenient for them to live in the center of the village. This place near the forest will be your new clan territory."
In the conference room, Danzo Shimura held a small wooden stick, pointed to a remote location on the outskirts of the village, and spoke to the head of the Aburame Clan, Shibi Aburame.
Shibi: "…"
Shibi raised his head and glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting behind Danzo.
The other party did not respond.
"I understand." He nodded in agreement, seemingly having no objection to the decision.
"It seems that I have caused trouble for the family…"
He thought to himself.
It is rumored that after the death of the fourth Hokage, the third Hokage will regain power in Konoha, and Shibi Aburame and Choza Akimichi, who had the best relationship with the fourth Hokage and were even considered his direct subordinates, are in a somewhat awkward situation…
Choza Akimichi is from the Akimichi Clan and has always had a close relationship with the Sarutobi clan. In addition, Hiruzen supports Torifu Akimichi, so he will be let go after being warned once.
But someone is different…
"Danzo Shimura seems to be very interested in that little fellow…"
Shibi glanced at Danzo obscurely and made a decision secretly.
After arranging the Aburame Clan, it was time to move on to the main event of the meeting.
Danzo glanced at Fugaku Uchiha, who was looking straight ahead, and said calmly: "Many buildings in the Uchiha Clan's territory were destroyed; even the Konoha Military Police Force building collapsed, so after our discussion, we decided to rebuild the Uchiha Clan's territory…"
The small wooden stick pointed to the most remote corner of the Konoha map: "Let's go right here. The Uchiha Clan has many members, so the area here is relatively large."
Fugaku exploded on the spot!
He looked at the empty space that was almost squeezed out of the edge of the map and could hardly believe his eyes.
Large area? The area outside Konoha is even larger! Why don't you bastards just exile us?!
"Danzo-sama, I—"
"Why… Does clan head Fugaku have any objections?" Danzo narrowed his eyes dangerously.
This nine-tail rebellion must be closely related to the Uchiha Clan. It was already merciful enough not to exterminate them directly. How dare you nitpick?
"Danzo-sama, this location is too far from the center of Konoha!" Fugaku still wanted to fight for it: "If something happens in the village, it will be difficult for the Konoha Military Police Force to arrive in time, and there are also the usual patrol tasks…"
"Clan head, Fugaku!" Danzo put his hand on the table and said in a loud voice: "The tasks of the Konoha Military Police Force can be handled by the Anbu. You just need to follow orders!"
What happened? The Konoha Military Police Force couldn't arrive in time?
Apart from you, the Uchiha Clan, who else can cause a big incident in the village?
In fact, Danzo also wanted to investigate another matter, during the nine-tails rebellion, three of his subordinates who were sent to deliver orders and monitor the Uchiha Clan disappeared, and the ninjas from Uchiha, led by Shiratori Uchiha, actually appeared on the battlefield to besiege the nine-tails!
Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi told him in a very serious tone that he must not mention this matter again. Now is the weakest time of the village, and he must not create any more problems to provoke internal conflicts.
Danzo is about to explode with rage!
When has the root ever suffered such a loss? Before, the root always dealt with others in the village at will. How could someone kill a root ninja in the village without authorization?!
He really wanted to say: Hiruzen, after you learn—
"Danzo-sama, you will regret this!" A slightly childish voice came from outside.
Who? Who stole my line?
Danzo turned his head to look at the door, only to see Shiratori Uchiha walking in carrying three corpses.
This extremely shocking scene gave everyone in the room a premonition.
He comes with bad intentions!
When he saw the corpse in Shiratori's hands, veins on Danzo's forehead bulged.
These corpses… They haven't even taken off the masks at the roots!
"Danzo-sama, if you insist on moving the Uchiha Clan to the edge of Konoha, you will definitely regret it."
Shiratori threw the three bodies aside like garbage.
"Kid, what do you mean?" Danzo was so angry that he laughed: "And what's going on with these root ninjas? Can you give me an explanation?"
"You mean them?" Shiratori walked over and took off the masks of the three corpses one by one. "They are spies from other villages. I suspect that the nine-tails rebellion is related to them."
"Nonsense!" Danzo was furious: "They are my subordinates! How dare you kill root ninjas and accuse them of being spies! What… Is that your intention?"
Shiratori scratched his ears, not paying any attention to Danzo's accusations: "Oh… Your subordinate, so you are also a spy?"
Without waiting for Danzo's answer, he recounted what happened that night at a very fast pace.
Especially when it comes to banning the Uchiha Clan from participating in the war, Shiratori's tone is sad and angry.
What's the intention of not letting the powerful Uchiha Clan fight the nine-tails?
If the Uchiha Clan could have joined the war earlier, would so many people in Konoha have died?
The most infuriating thing is that they actually fake the Hokage's orders!
"I don't believe the third Hokage would doubt us!" Shiratori said firmly: "Besides, ordinary Sharingan can't control the nine-tails at all, so there is only one truth!"
He pointed at Danzo and said: "You, Danzo Shimura, colluded with foreign enemies and released the nine-tails with the intention of destroying Konoha!"
Danzo's face turned pale, his chest rising and falling violently: "You Uchiha, you evil little bastard…"
Shiratori ignored the furious Danzo and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Third Hokage, I propose a thorough investigation of the root! You give the order, and our Konoha Military Police Force will arrest them. We will ensure that not a single spy is spared!"
The ninja clan heads present had strange expressions on their faces.
They knew that Shiratori was talking complete bullshit, but they couldn't help but laugh when they saw Danzo, who usually loved to put accusations on others, being blamed by this little guy.
It is actually difficult to change anything with just these words, but Shiratori is smart in that he has exposed the conflict between Uchiha and the village leaders!
If the Uchiha Clan's land is eventually moved, it would be equivalent to the third Hokage publicly telling the Uchiha Clan: Yes, I doubt and exclude you.
But for the third Hokage… This is impossible.
Really…
"Danzo, the Uchiha Clan is also part of the village; you shouldn't doubt them… The Uchiha Clan's land does not need to be relocated; just rebuild it on the original site." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
"Hiruzen!?"
Danzo looked back in disbelief.
Who? Me?
Isn't this what you nodded in agreement to after our discussion yesterday?
Putting the blame on others again?
"Shiratori." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shiratori and said: "Danzo will not betray the village. This incident was just an accident. Let's stop here… Is that okay?"
"Yes, I will follow the orders of the third Hokage-sama."
Danzo turned around and met Shiratori's gaze. The other party's half-smile seemed to say: I told you you would regret it.
"You-"
"Third Hokage, urgent military information!" An Anbu ninja rushed in, interrupting Danzo's words, and handed a scroll to Hiruzen.
Hiruzen's expression changed drastically after just a quick glance!
"Everyone, this meeting is temporarily canceled. Notify all Jonin to assemble for the combat meeting now!"
Konoha Year 51, Autumn.
The nine-tails rebellion broke out in Konoha, the fourth Hokage was dead, and the Konoha ninjas suffered heavy losses.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Village Hidden in the Cloud tore up the armistice agreement with Konoha and sent troops to Konoha!
