One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

In Konoha Village, at the Root base, looking at the empty base, Danzo Shimura muttered to himself in the darkness with a gloomy face.

"Damn the Shell Organization, I will never let you get away with this!"

Standing by the railing at the base, the once bustling training ground was now deserted, and the nameless fire in Shimura Danzo's heart burned ever brighter.

After a while, the last remaining Root ninja knelt before him.

"Lord Danzo, the Hokage requests your presence at the office building!"

"Understood, lead the way!"

Two figures walked one after the other towards the Hokage Building and soon arrived at the entrance of the Hokage's office.

Danzo Shimura squinted, calmly tidying his appearance, then pushed open the door and entered. All four members of Konoha F4 were present. Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were full of indignation as he questioned them sharply.

"Danzo, I need an explanation for last night's actions!"

Shimura Danzo remained completely calm, slowly walking up to the other person and staring at him with his only intact eye.

"With such a large-scale mobilization by Root, Hiruzen, can you really say you were completely unaware of it?"

"you……"

"Danzo, Konoha has endured so much suffering recently that it cannot withstand any further turmoil and is unable to withstand a potential war!"

"Moreover, the internal problems remain severe, you should understand that!"

"Of course I understand, which is why I initiated this action!"

"That's enough, Danzo!"

"Write down a detailed list of Root's personnel and give it to me. From today onwards, Root will no longer act independently and will be incorporated into my direct command of the Dark Division!"

"it is good!"

"?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo Shimura, who stood ramrod straight and expressionless, with a mixture of surprise and delight. He was flattered that the other party had agreed to his request so readily and couldn't help but confirm it again.

"I'm asking you to relinquish your power; from now on, I'll take charge of the root of things!"

"I understand, I can write down the personnel list for you now!"

After Shimura Danzo finished speaking, he strode forward, took the paper and pen from the stunned Hiruzen Sarutobi, and began to write.

A moment later, the other three people in the room looked at the list that Shimura Danzo handed over, which contained only a handful of names, and suddenly cursed in unison.

"Damn, is this all the people left in the Root?" x3

Sensing something was wrong, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado pulled them back in time, their eyes wide as they tried to strangle Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was trying to kill Danzo Shimura.

"Calm down, Hiruzen!"

"Don't be impulsive, Hiruzen!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was held tightly by two high-ranking Konoha officials on either side of him, who were roaring angrily.

"Danzo, these are the future of the village, and yet you..."

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

Danzo Shimura remained completely calm, as if he had been prepared. He reached into his robes, pulled out a list, and handed it to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was smoking a cigarette in silence.

"I'm doing all this for Konoha. The Root organization must recover its strength as soon as possible. I also need to expand the existing Root structure. These are the entities I've been secretly observing. I'm going to activate them all this time. Please confirm!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

The list was filled with outstanding talents from the Konoha ninja clans, and many of them were even future heirs from small, already sparsely populated families…

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to throw the list at Danzo Shimura's old face, but after a moment of silence, he took out his pen again, crossed out some names, and sighed.

"I can't do as you ask, otherwise Konoha will be on the verge of collapse. This is the biggest concession I can make!"

Danzo Shimura was secretly delighted, but pretended to be calm on the surface. He took back the list, feigning displeasure, and checked the names that had not been crossed out.

"There's no time to lose. To deal with the future threat from the Shell Organization and the problems within the village, I'll get to work now!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado simply served as background figures, each reporting on their recent work progress before leaving the office.

After everyone left, Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed in the direction of the Uchiha clan, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

"Sigh, I hope nothing goes wrong. Losing a pair of kaleidoscopes should make things a bit more peaceful..."

In the underground base of Kusagakure Village, Orochimaru was conducting experiments on Nagato, while Kusagakure curiously fiddled with a beaker beside him.

"Bang!" Another familiar explosion rang out. Orochimaru, with a cold face, put down the syringe in his hand and instantly appeared behind Kusanagi, whose face was blackened by the explosion.

"Lord Kusakage, please leave professional matters to the professionals. Please leave!"

Looking at those vertical pupils, Cao Zhi, who was many times stronger than his opponent, was somewhat alarmed. He had sworn that his purpose was definitely to help, but who knew that following the steps would still result in an explosion.

Kabuto Yakushi came to the rescue with a warm smile, cleaning up the debris from the laboratory explosion while speaking gently.

"Lord Kusakage, you can go out now. I can take care of things here."

Cao Zhi feigned sadness, looking as if she were heartbroken.

"Sigh, you still won't call me Dad, even though we've been living together as a family for so long."

………………

After Kusashi left, Kabuto Yakushi cleaned up the explosion traces and began to cooperate with Orochimaru to perform surgery, attempting to uncover more secrets of the Rinnegan!

After bidding farewell to Orochimaru, Kusanagi transformed into a pile of cards and arrived on the other side. Tsunade, dressed in a research suit, stood with her arms crossed, staring at the unconscious boy in the nutrient solution, her brows furrowed.

"So the village ultimately turned against Uchiha after all..."

"Hello, Tsunade!"

"It's you again, you idiot! I've already healed Shisui, but his lost eye can't be repaired unless I get his Sharingan back!"

Kusaji originally didn't want Tsunade to get involved, but Orochimaru, having acquired Nagato's Rinnegan, was unwilling to help. From Orochimaru's words, Kusaji could understand that...

"I'm so tired of studying kaleidoscopes..."

Orochimaru had studied Obito and Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan countless times, and had long since lost interest in them...

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Danzo Shimura once again approached Hiruzen Sarutobi and, understanding that the latter's recent distress was due to the Uchiha clan, who had been causing trouble in the village recently, offered his suggestions.

"I suggest releasing the former sinners of the Uchiha clan. This would appease their emotions, show goodwill, and prove that the village still trusts the Uchiha clan!"

"You mean Uchiha Setsuna, who launched a rebellion during the time when our teacher was in power?"

“That’s right. After so many years of ideological reform, I think he should have figured it out by now.”

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Five days after Shisui's disappearance, the Uchiha clan, fearing that the village would turn against them, saw their pro-war factions demanding a rebellion.

During the Uchiha clan meeting, Uchiha Setsuna had a gloomy expression. After returning to the clan, he immediately became the representative of the pro-war faction, with nearly two-thirds of the clan members who had awakened their Sharingan sitting behind him.

"Shisui's whereabouts are unknown, and the village has already taken action. Fugaku, what are you still hesitating for? Do you have to wait until Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo stab kunai into the chests of your clansmen before you wake up!"

With Shisui's disappearance, the original moderates completely sided with Uchiha Setsuna's pro-war faction. Shimura Danzo deliberately released him and created multiple frictions and conflicts, which finally had an effect!
