Danzo calmly explained.

"To be on the safe side this time, I'll ask the Fourth Raikage to keep an eye on that kid and kill him. Don't you think we should give him some benefits?"

The Third Hokage squinted, thinking, "They actually sent outsiders to kill members of the Uchiha clan?"

That's a good suggestion. The Fourth Raikage is indeed a top-tier fighter.

This would make the deal 100% done, but what about the benefits the other party mentioned?

He still asked cautiously.

"What are the benefits? Please explain in detail."

The regimental commander squinted as he spoke.

"Of course, it's time to renegotiate. I hope the Hokage can make some concessions."

The third generation's expression changed upon hearing this. Was he going to back down?

Is this an attempt to make him suffer another loss of sovereignty and national humiliation?

He had previously made concessions in the peace agreement signed with Iwagakure, which led to his resignation.

Danzo might be plotting to dig a hole for himself and step down.

Although the other party is a knife in his hand, this knife is double-edged, and he must always be on guard against the other party.

How could he give up his position as Hokage just for the sake of his son?

He said sternly.

"Danzo, be careful what you say, I cannot grant this request."

The regimental commander sighed inwardly. This old guy was really cautious; it seemed like this approach wouldn't work.

If the other party really agrees, then make him sacrifice a lot of the village's interests to negotiate peace with Kumogakure.

In this way, Danzo could incite the ninja clans to force the other side to step down.

Who in the village will be able to compete with him then?

The Uchiha clan is unpopular.

None of the three disciples of the Third Hokage were in the village.

If I were to speak with the Daimyo and offer him benefits, then I could truly achieve my wish and become Hokage.

Unfortunately, this guy wasn't that stupid.

Danzo, having calmed himself down, could only say this.

"It's just a small benefit, like some money, which the large village can afford."

The Third Hokage immediately spoke.

"One hundred million taels, that's all we're talking about."

Danzo had no choice but to agree.

One hundred million taels is no small sum.

"Then I'll go back and make the plans."

"Afterwards, I will send the list of talents I want to Lord Hokage, and I hope that Lord Hokage will persuade those humans not to interfere."

……

After leaving the Hokage Building, Danzo returned to his Root base.

He immediately drafted a secret letter, pondering who should be sent to deliver it to the Fourth Raikage.

However, to get close to the Fourth Raikage, one must be a powerful ninja skilled in espionage.

After thinking it over, there was only one candidate left: Yakushi Nonou.

He then headed towards the outskirts of Konoha Village and entered an orphanage.

There was a group of children playing inside.

Ignoring them, I went straight to the front of a building, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Inside the office building sat a woman wearing a white headscarf and large glasses.

Hearing the door open and noticing who it was, he stood up and said respectfully.

"Lord Danzo."

Although she has left the company, the respect that should be shown is still necessary.

She is now the director of the orphanage because of Danzo's financial support, which is why she is able to take in these orphans who lost their parents in the war.

Danzo waved to signal.

"You don't need to get up."

He then sat down at the desk.

He spoke.

"The orphanage is well-run."

Yakushi Nonou said with a smile.

"It was thanks to Lord Danzo's help that the orphanage was able to provide a place for these children who had become orphans due to the war to live."

Danzo was extremely pleased to hear this, although that was not his original intention.

They just wanted to select talent from the orphanage.

These helpless and destitute people can be more easily cultivated into loyal subordinates when they enter his inner circle.

Have you discovered any promising talents recently?

Yakushi Nonou sighed inwardly. So it was another attempt to recruit talent into Root. Although she had left Root, she still knew how dark Root was.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't have provided Danzo with talent and sent these orphanage children to the dark land.

But there's no other way. If we don't provide Danzo with talent, the orphanage probably won't be able to keep operating.

I can only say.

"There was a guy with ninja talent named Kabuto Yakushi."

Danzo glanced at the other person.

"Will it take your surname?"

Pharmacist Nonoyu nodded.

"I picked up an orphan from the Land of Fire. He was very young at the time and couldn't even remember his parents' surnames, so he had to take my surname."

Danzo understood, "I see," and asked.

"You should have taught him the basics of ninja and espionage, right?"

Yakushi Nonou nodded.

"certainly"

Danzo nodded in satisfaction; it seemed the other party hadn't forgotten his duty.

"That's good. I'll have someone come and take him away later. There's one more thing. I hope you'll deliver this secret letter to the Fourth Raikage of Kumokage Village."

"You're more familiar with the situation over there, and only you are confident you can complete this mission."

He then took the secret letter out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

Yakushi Nonou looked at the secret letter on the table and handed it to the Fourth Raikage.

It must be another secret deal between Danzo and the Fourth Raikage.

However, given the current situation, she cannot leave the orphanage. If the orphanage were to leave her, there would be no one to take care of these children.

Said helplessly.

"Lord Danzo, please allow me to refuse this mission."

"I have withdrawn from the root."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, thinking, "Does he really think that just because he left Root, he doesn't have to work for me anymore?"

If we hadn't known that the other party left the Root organization to set up an orphanage and provide him with some talent, such behavior would have been considered betrayal and would have warranted execution.

"I hope you will seriously consider helping me complete this task, otherwise I will no longer be able to provide funding to this orphanage."

Yakushi Nonou's expression hardened, and she couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Danzo, how can this be? If we don't have the funds, these orphans will probably not be able to survive."

Danzo remained expressionless and said nothing more.

I have already grasped the other party's weakness.

Yakushi Nonou cares most about this orphanage, and since she left Root, she has no other way to get money.

The air became still for a moment.
