Chapter 108 Let that old dog Danzo come out (Please subscribe and vote)

On the bed, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just been resting for a short while, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head slightly: "Is there something you need?"

Outside the window, an Anbu ninja hurriedly said, "Lord Hokage, there's an emergency regarding the Jinchuriki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat. He quickly got up, left the bedroom in his pajamas, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The ANBU ninja quickly reported what had happened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't a Jinchūriki going berserk.

But then he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Danzo, that old buddy of his, always likes to pull these underhanded tricks; they're not exactly respectable.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi still had to clean up the mess.

The root is very important, and Danzo is also a very good helper.

Especially at this point in time, with the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja successively invading the Land of Wind, although the Cloud Ninja has gone from winning one victory after another to suffering a series of defeats.

However, it is foreseeable that the scale of the war will continue to expand, and Konoha will be passively drawn into the war.

At this critical juncture, Danzo's actions, which could easily cause internal problems, are utterly foolish!

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to see through Danzo's purpose and ambition, and although he felt somewhat helpless, he was at ease deep down.

Because Danzo in this state simply posed no threat to him.

Therefore, he was able to confidently allow Danzo to gradually seize control of the Root organization.

The role of the roots has already been defined by him.

The Hokage's direct subordinates, the Anbu, represent the dark side of ordinary ninjas in Konoha.

The roots, however, are hidden even deeper, representing the dark side of the entire Leaf Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had turned back to change his clothes and was about to go to Minato Namikaze's house to appease him, stopped again because another ANBU member came to report.

Kushina Uzumaki and Ina Uzumaki went to Tsunade's house.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more troubled.

Kushina Uzumaki was easy to fool, no, easy to coax, but Tsunade was different.

If Tsunade gets angry, he won't give her any face.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to change his target and go to Tsunade's house.

……

At Tsunade's house, Tsunade heard Danzo's threat and Ina Uzumaki also became furious. The floor beneath her feet sank and then exploded.

Uzumaki Ina was startled and quickly said, "Lady Tsunade, Genichi said you shouldn't be too impulsive."

"Ok?"

Tsunade's anger faltered: "What?"

"He is back?"

Uzumaki Ina shook her head.

Tsunade immediately understood: "He anticipated that Danzo would threaten you?"

Uzumaki Ina nodded.

Tsunade immediately thought of the Wood Release experiment and realized that Danzo had discovered it.

She calmed down and scoffed, "He's quite sensible; knowing all this, he still acts recklessly."

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade said to Ina Uzumaki, "You can stay here and send a shadow clone back to report that you are safe."

"Kushina, go home."

Kushina Uzumaki hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What about Danzo..."

Tsunade calmly said, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to do anything."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back."

Watching Kushina Uzumaki and the Anbu ninja leave, Tsunade looked at Ina Uzumaki: "What else did that guy say?"

Uzumaki Ina quickly shook her head: "Xuan Yi only said that Lady Tsunade can be absolutely trusted, nothing else."

Although Tsunade felt secretly pleased, she chuckled coldly.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared with a squad of Anbu ninja.

Uzumaki Ina quickly greeted him, "Hokage-sama!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Ina Uzumaki and asked with gentle concern, "Is Ina alright?"

Uzumaki Ina shook her head: "No."

Tsunade crossed her arms, raised her chin, and demanded sharply, "What does Danzo want to do?"

"Could he be planning a coup?"

"Old man, you haven't lost control of your roots, have you?"

The three questions, without accusing Danzo of his actions, only made Hiruzen Sarutobi even more troubled.

He actually hoped Tsunade would lose her temper, or even cause a scene at Root, which would be ten times better than her current attitude.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also sensed that Tsunade was different.

This change gave him even more headaches, but also made him feel very gratified.

This disciple has grown!

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi's feelings were inevitably mixed at this moment. He said to Ina Uzumaki, "Don't worry, I will restrain Danzo and this situation will never happen again. You can focus on your training with Kushina and Tsunade."

Uzumaki Ina nodded: "Xuan Yi said that we can completely trust the Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt very gratified.

Tsunade sneered, "Heh, Ina initially asked Root if they were acting on your orders, but Root said they only carried out Danzo's orders."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was embarrassed.

You wicked disciple!
Couldn't we have waited until we were alone to talk about this?

Tsunade continued, "Furthermore, Danzo's threats against the families of Jonin will have consequences that could directly cause the entire Hidden Leaf Village to fall apart."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately said, "I will immediately revoke Danzo's qualification as the leader of Root."

Tsunade curled her lip. Root had become Danzo's private army. What was the point of disbanding it?

However, she also knew that this was the limit, especially at this critical juncture.

However, Tsunade was still unhappy and couldn't vent her anger, so she said lightly, "Old man, you should think about how to explain this to Genichi."

"He's out there risking his life for the village right now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly: "I will handle this matter."

He felt that Genichi Koushi, who was gentle and had a broad perspective, would definitely not be as troublesome as Tsunade.

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others leave, Tsunade's gaze was filled with disappointment and a hint of mockery.

She guessed what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking.

Unfortunately, Tsunade felt that her teacher had no idea that Genichi Koushi, that little bastard, had a different side hidden beneath his gentle exterior.

Hehe, there should be a surprise then.

Turning her gaze away, Tsunade waved to Ina Uzumaki: "Let's go, go to sleep." Ina Uzumaki nodded obediently like a good girl: "Yes, Lady Tsunade."

……

The southern border of the River Country.

Genichi Kinoshita and his team reunited with Shinnosuke Sarutobi and the others.

The reason they are here is because the Mist Ninja launched a war against the Sand Ninja, attacking the southern part of the Land of Wind from the sea, so they came here to gather intelligence.

"Xuanyi, what's the situation in the north?"

After meeting, Sarutobi Shinnosuke removed his mask and asked a question.

"Senior, the Cloud Ninja is about to lose."

Xuan Yi Dao under the tree.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke raised an eyebrow: "As expected of Sunagakure, a village known for its elite troops."

"However, if we are attacked from two sides, the situation of Sunagakure will be very bad."

Genichi Shushita said, "Judging from the current situation, Sunagakure may suffer significant losses, but Kumogakure and Kirigakure will likely also find it difficult to gain any advantage."

"I observed that there is a Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai ninja in Sunagakure who can control gold dust; he is very strong."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "It's Rasa, one of the best among the younger generation in Sunagakure. It seems that the Fourth Kazekage will likely be decided between him and another scorching kekkei genkai ninja, Pakura."

Genichi under the tree raised an eyebrow: "Burning Release: Leaf Village?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "He's about the same age as Rasa, and he's very strong. He's currently leading the Sand Ninja against the Kirigakure's invasion."

"Xuanyi, what do you think the situation will be like in the war?"

Everyone turned to look at Xuan Yi under the tree.

Genichi Shushita said, "Kumakuna's supply lines are too long. Failing to take down Sunagakure in one fell swoop means failure."

"But even if we defeat Kumogakure, Sunagakure will still have to face another enemy."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked, "Iwagakure?"

Genichi Kishita smiled and nodded: "Although we didn't go to the Land of Earth to gather intelligence, I don't believe that Iwagakure can sit still under these circumstances."

"With Sunagakure being besieged and its strength constantly being depleted, they will probably fill the gap once Kumogakure retreats."

"Moreover, the retreat of Kumogakure also faces the threat of Iwagakure."

Genichi Shushita sneered: "Although the Cloud Village is full of war, they are not stupid. They will consider the threat posed by the Iwagakure Village."

"Therefore, war between Iwagakure and Sunagakure, and between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, is just around the corner."

Moonlight Flowing Wind said, "That's for the best, so we can stay out of it."

A hint of worry flashed in Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes.

It's impossible for Konoha to stay out of this!
But Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't say much, instead ordering, "Rest for an hour and then head back to the village."

They've been out for a month; it's time to go back and submit the intelligence.

An hour later, the group of eight set off, intending to cross the River Kingdom back to the Fire Kingdom.

By the time they returned to Konoha, it was already evening of the following day.

It was now September 4th, Konoha 46.

When Genichi returned home, he learned from his parents that Ina Uzumaki had moved in with Tsunade.

"I know, Dad, Mom, I'll go to Lady Tsunade's place first."

Genichi smiled and turned to leave.

However, he did not go to Tsunade's house, but instead went to Minato Namikaze's house.

As soon as one of the hidden ninjas saw Genichi under the tree, he leaped away.

Kushina Uzumaki was overjoyed to see Genichi Kishita: "Genichi, you're finally back!"

Once she brought him into her home, Kushina Uzumaki immediately recounted everything that had happened the night before.

Genichiro nodded and said, "Thank you, Kushina-neechan."

Kushina Uzumaki tapped Genichi on the head: "Why are you thanking me? Ina is family too."

"However, what do you plan to do about this?"

"I heard from Lady Tsunade that the Third Hokage has removed Danzo from his position as head of Root."

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "I believe the Third Hokage will handle this matter well. I'll go see Lady Tsunade first."

Kushina Uzumaki didn't think much of it and smiled as she saw Genichi off to the door.

"Danzo, Danzo, you certainly haven't disappointed me!"

Genichi Shushita's smile vanished, his gaze turned icy, and then he leaped away and disappeared.

However, he still did not go to Tsunade's house or Konoha Hospital.

Hokage's office.

The first thing Hiruzen Sarutobi asked upon seeing his son was, "Where's Genichi?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Genichi is going home first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed something was wrong and immediately said, "Take some men and go find Genichi. If he's not at home or in Konoha Hospital, go to Root immediately."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was full of questions, but he immediately carried out the order.

however.

When Sarutobi Shinnosuke arrived at Genichi Koushi's place, Genichi Koushi had already appeared at the entrance of the Root base.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi received a report from Genichi Koushi that he had gone to find Kushina Uzumaki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood that Genichi Kishita had not gone to Konoha Hospital, and had immediately taken the Anbu ninjas straight to the Root base.

root base.

Xuan Yi's figure flickered as he entered the root base from the entrance, weaving through the crisscrossing beams.

As he landed on the bridge leading to one of the main entrances to the Roots base, figures appeared and surrounded him.

"This is the root area. Please leave immediately!"

"A Root ninja said coldly."

Genichi looked up from under the tree, and the three tomoe appeared in his right eye. The Root ninja who had been speaking immediately fell down without a sound.

"Sharingan!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Take him!"

One by one, the Root ninjas shouted and attacked.

They might draw their swords, form hand seals, or throw shuriken.

"I am Genichi Koushi. Bring out that old dog Danzo. I want to see how he plans to ruin my mission!"

Genichi's voice echoed through the root base, but he had already vanished from the spot.
