Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

What she didn't know was that Uchiha Seiryu had long wanted to deal with Danzo.

If we're talking about who Uchiha Seiryu disliked the most in Naruto, it would definitely be Danzo.

He now possesses not only sufficient strength.

Konoha's two major clans, the Senju and the Uchiha, could be said to be standing behind him.

Now Danzo has delivered the knife to Uchiha Seiryu again. If Uchiha Seiryu doesn't take him down, he'll feel like he's wasting this opportunity.

Mito Uzumaki initially wanted to refuse.

However, upon hearing him say he had an idea, Mito Uzumaki narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Alright, then come with me to the Hokage's place."

Chapter 45 Just Go with the Flow

Having already decided to bring Uchiha Seiryu along, Uzumaki Mito was not going to hesitate.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, Mito Uzumaki did not make a big fuss about going to the Hokage Building.

Instead, he planned to secretly instruct the Hokage to investigate the situation through a private visit.

When Uchiha Seiryu heard Uzumaki Mito's idea, he thought to himself, "Wow!"

You're making people investigate themselves; there's no way they'll find anything from that.

However, he did not try to persuade Mito Uzumaki to change her approach.

So far, everything Uchiha Seiryu has said about this matter is just speculation.

Yakushi Nonou remained silent, and there was no other evidence available at the moment.

Moreover, all that's needed is to see the Hokage; once you see him, you can set the record straight.

The perpetrator was characterized as a traitor who attacked a child.

If we hand this matter over to Hiruzen Sarutobi to investigate, we might not find anything, or someone might take the blame.

But that doesn't mean that only Hiruzen Sarutobi can find out who's behind it all.

With Mito Uzumaki's experience, having met the Hokage, she would definitely be able to sense that something was wrong.

At that time, Uchiha Seiryu will persuade her to ask the Uchiha Police Force to investigate the matter.

Mito Uzumaki's adoption of Seiryu is a signal of goodwill towards the Uchiha clan.

The security forces also have this responsibility, so the Uchiha clan is definitely duty-bound to handle this matter.

While the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Danzo wasn't as irreconcilable as it became in later generations, it certainly wasn't good either.

The Uchiha clan member was quite capable, and with his subtle reminder, he could quickly lock onto the target.

Even if Danzo's actions were flawless...

As for Nono, Uchiha Seiryu was confident he could get her to tell the truth.

Moreover, given Danzo's personality and abilities, he couldn't possibly do that.

Therefore, it's only a matter of time before Danzo is exposed.

By then, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi tries to protect Danzo and smooth things over, it will be too late.

Because the matter has already been settled, and it has become common knowledge in Konoha.

Danzo will be severely injured, if not killed.

Uchiha Seiryu didn't need to do much in this whole affair.

By simply going with the flow and waiting for a while, Danzo can be driven to a dead end.

.........

The Hokage Building remained as peaceful as ever.

This is Uchiha Seiryu's second time here.

Last time, the Anbu brought him here; this time, it was Mito Uzumaki who brought him.

It can only be said that the two are not comparable.

When Mito Uzumaki arrived, the guarding ninjas, upon learning of her purpose...

Without even issuing a notification, they went ahead to lead the way for Mito Uzumaki.

On the road, people who saw Mito Uzumaki would greet her.

Even some female ninjas looked at her as if they had met their idol.

And so, they arrived at the Hokage's office without any obstacles.

The traffic flow was just as smooth as going home.

This exaggerated performance left Uchiha Seiryu speechless.

No wonder the Senju and Mito clans disappeared later, and even Senju Nawaki died.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't strong enough to control a subordinate with such high prestige.

If we don't find a way, Senju Nawaki might actually become emperor one day.

Mito Uzumaki didn't care about Seiryu Uchiha's thoughts at this moment; they had already met Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Seiryu Uchiha, then approached her with a broad smile.

"Lord Mito, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Sensing the increasingly clear malice emanating from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mito Uzumaki's already bad mood, caused by the child's situation, worsened.

She knew where Hiruzen Sarutobi's malice came from: it was because of Uchiha Seiryu.

Xingliu has become a rising star of Konoha and a bridge between the village and the Uchiha clan.

He is a famous child prodigy and the future pillar of Konoha.

Within Konoha, there were even voices advocating for Uchiha Seiryu to become the Fourth Hokage.

However, the matter was ultimately dropped because Uchiha Seiryu was too young.

But this was completely unacceptable to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently in the prime of his ninja skills, and he has no intention of retiring.

Now that he sees Mito Uzumaki bringing Seiryu Uchiha along, he naturally feels dissatisfied.

Sensing this malice, Mito Uzumaki smiled helplessly.

She stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi for a moment before speaking:

"Hiruzen, I have something important to ask you this time."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi put aside his ulterior motives.

Given Mito Uzumaki's personality, anything important is unlikely to be trivial.

The war isn't over yet; it would be bad if something went wrong on the Senju front.

So he quickly asked:

"I don't know what happened that made Lady Mito come to me."

Mito Uzumaki glanced at Seiryu Uchiha and gestured for him to go up and speak.

After all, it was Uchiha Seiryu who discovered the matter, so it's more reasonable for him to speak on it.

Uchiha Seiryu wasn't intimidated. After receiving a signal, he stepped forward and stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying:

"Lord Hokage, someone has broken a taboo in the village and is harming the children."

Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the problem wasn't with the front lines.

But when he heard that someone was harming a child, his first thought was of his old friend.

Then I remembered the warrant I had given him.

In an instant, his back was soaked.

But as a cunning old fox, Hiruzen Sarutobi still pretended to be angry and asked for information.

"Is the intelligence accurate? Do you know who did it?!"

"Damn it, they dare to do such a treasonous thing! They really don't respect me, the Hokage!"

Uchiha Seiryu thought for a moment and then answered Hiruzen Sarutobi's question.

"The intelligence is accurate; there are already witnesses."

"But we still don't know who it is, so we've come to ask the Hokage to send the Anbu to investigate."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine when he heard that there were witnesses.

Then, upon hearing that no one knew who the mastermind was, he was secretly delighted.

Finally, when he learned that Mito Uzumaki had come to him to ask him to find the mastermind, he felt completely relieved.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't be sure if Danzo was behind it, based on his understanding of Danzo, it was highly likely.

So when he was asked to investigate, Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite relieved.

This gave him the opportunity to take the blame; at worst, he could find someone to take the fall.

However, he then remembered that there were witnesses, and his heart, which had just settled down, began to race again.

"No problem, I will instruct the secret service to investigate thoroughly."

Then, pretending to be concerned, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said:

"Are the witnesses still safe? Why don't you let me protect them?"

Uchiha Seiryu almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Hand it over to you? Are you sending a lamb to the slaughter?"

However, his acting skills were also quite good, especially when faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's seemingly casual question.

Uchiha Seiryu said with a smile:

"No need, this person is already under Grandma's protection, so we won't trouble you, Hokage."
