Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

With Aokiji's personality, it's hard to imagine him doing anything out of line.

In addition, the Uchiha clan has been dissatisfied with the top leaders for many years. If the assassination fails and Aokiji raises his hand, they will not only have to face Aokiji's revenge, but also the Uchiha clan.

If it really comes to this, Konoha will be on the verge of civil war...

Whether they win or not, it will be a devastating blow to Konoha.

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes became fierce and a bold decision grew in his heart.

If you want to kill Aokiji, you must be prepared to kill that person as well.

Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed the cruelty growing in Danzo's eyes and warned him, "Danzo, don't mess around..."

When it comes to the assassination of Aokiji, Danzo is the perfect person to take the blame.

But there is one bad thing. He inherited the darkness of the village, so he does things in an extreme way and sometimes he is too unscrupulous to achieve his goals.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid that the other party would do something out of line.

"I'm free and measured."

Danzo did not answer this question directly.

The idea of ​​killing Tsunade as well was just a thought.

Although he is unscrupulous, he is not so cruel as to be so cruel.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that he was not very reassured and kept a close eye on him.

Danzo didn't want to continue the conversation on this issue, so he asked, "Could the people ambushing on the roadside be the work of Kirigakure and Iwagakure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen denied this: "It shouldn't be, otherwise they wouldn't have rescued me and then let me go back."

Danzo pinched his chin and fell into thought.

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Danzo who was thinking and asked him to replace him to meet and negotiate with the other party.

Danzo nodded in agreement.

........................

a week later.

With the previous experience of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the agreed location this time is different from the last time and is within the territory of the Land of Fire.

The Third Tsuchikage and the Third Mizukage had no objection to this and went to the appointment as usual.

After meeting and exchanging brief greetings, both sides got straight to the point.

The Third Mizukage's eyes narrowed into slits, his expression unreadable. "Regarding that proposal from last time, what do you think?"

Regarding the matter of Aokiji, Danzo discussed with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu, and the four of them agreed unanimously.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this."

This is the same principle as bargaining, and Danzo did not agree directly.

He wanted to sell Aokiji at a good price and squeeze out all its value through some bargaining.

The Third Mizukage was slightly surprised. He opened his narrowed eyes and a dangerous cold light flashed in his eyes: "This is really unexpected."

"Aokiji is an important and outstanding ninja of our village. I, Shimura Danzo, would never do such a thing as betraying my companions."

Danzo said this with a righteous tone, waiting for the other party to raise the stakes before showing any signs of softening their stance.

The Third Mizukage crossed his palms and rested them on his chin, saying with admiration, "As expected of Konoha. Even at this point, you still refuse to betray your companions in exchange for peace."

Danzo's eyes were solemn, and he felt uncomfortable with the other party's calm attitude.

"By the way, have you in Konoha found the murderer who kidnapped the son of the Fire Country Daimyo?"

Danzo was puzzled by the sudden and unexplained digression and pondered for a moment, "No, there has been no progress so far."

After saying this, he stared at the other person with one eye, wanting to see what the other person was up to.

"Really? I do have a clue. Would you like to listen to it?" The Third Mizukage smiled intriguingly.

Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly: "What clue?"

The Third Mizukage spoke leisurely: "Uchiha Aokiji..."

Danzo was stunned for a moment: "W-what?"

As if afraid that he didn't understand, the Third Mizukage further explained: "The person who planned to kidnap and extort the son of the Fire Country Daimyo and then beat him up was none other than Uchiha Aokiji."

Upon hearing this, Danzo opened his mouth slightly, and his shocked expression was like the scene where the pause button was pressed for a moment.

As if appreciating this rare expression, the Third Mizukage smiled with interest and looked at the surprised face.

After a brief moment of trance, Danzo's expression became solemn: "Any evidence?"

"motivation……"

motivation?

Danzo lowered his eyes and fell into thought.

After this reminder, some things are terrifying when you think about them carefully.

Aokiji meets the requirements in terms of motivation, strength, and timing.

There was a storm in Danzo's heart.

Aokiji's vindictiveness is beyond imagination.

Combined with this case, Danzo can be more certain that Aokiji's previous Sharingan was deliberately disguised.

The Third Mizukage smiled and said, "Do you need me to give you more evidence?"

"No need..." Danzo said in a deep voice.

The other party obviously has sufficient evidence to bring this matter to the surface.

If this is true, then Aokiji must die no matter what.

Otherwise, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation really would not be able to give an explanation.

Before he knew it, Danzo had more reasons to assassinate Aokiji.

Mentioning this, the Third Mizukage brought back the previous topic: "Now, let's talk about Aokiji again."

"So this is your trump card, huh..."

On the way here, Sarutobi Hiruzen specifically mentioned this matter to Danzo.

The Third Mizukage looked calm and asked, "It's always better to be well prepared, isn't it?"

"I understand……"

Danzo looked at the man fearfully: "But before that, I have two conditions."

The Third Mizukage raised his chin and said, "What are the conditions? Tell me."

"In this matter, it is inconvenient for us in Konoha to take action. I will create the conditions, but you have to take action on your own."

If you want to kill a ninja of Aokiji's level, you will definitely pay a huge price. Danzo wants to use Aokiji's counterattack before his death to weaken the power of the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village.

"This is acceptable."

The Third Mizukage accepted the suggestion very easily. It was so smooth that Danzo could hardly believe it. He looked at Ohnoki with a questioning look in his eyes.

"That's fine with me." Ōnoki gave the same answer: "Originally, we were going to deal with Aokiji on our own."

Then, the Third Mizukage and Ōnoki said nothing, motioning for him to continue.

Danzo said in a deep voice: "After he dies, I want to reclaim his Sharingan."

"can."

The Third Mizukage and Ōnoki had no objection.

Something like the Sharingan can only unleash its true power in the Uchiha clan.

If used by people who are not of the same race, there will be great side effects, such as consuming chakra all the time.

As the talks progressed to this point, Danzo revealed a barely perceptible smile of satisfaction.

Just as he was thinking about how to make a plan to kill Aokiji when he returned, the other party spoke.

"We have already agreed to the conditions you proposed. Now, can you also agree to one thing for us?"

It definitely didn't sound good, so Danzo frowned and asked tentatively, "What is it?"

"I hope you Konoha can lend us one of them."

"Who?"

"Tsunade."

"What did you say..."

Danzo's pupils dilated.

ps: If you have a cold, go to bed early.

Chapter 314: Perfect Control of the Five-Tailed Power (Two-in-One)

The Third Mizukage smiled: "Don't be nervous..."

Danzo stared at the other person's expression, trying to see something from the other person's face: "What do you want to do?"

"Just another layer of insurance."

The Third Mizukage's words were somewhat intriguing. Danzo narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Insurance?"

"Aojiki, this Jinchuuriki is so special. He is different from other Jinchuuriki. He possesses the Sharingan, and his control over tailed beasts may be unmatched by any previous Jinchuuriki."

"If you want to kill him, I don't think I can successfully kill him with just one ambush."

Danzo agreed with this sentence, but did not understand the meaning of the previous sentence: "But what does this have to do with Tsunade."

The Third Mizukage glanced at it with a meaningful look: "Anyone will have weaknesses once they have feelings..."

Danzo listened, his brows relaxed, and he had a clue.

But he soon frowned again, looked at the other party warily, and muttered: "So, you want to use Tsunade as bait."

"Don't you think this is a pretty perfect idea?"

The third Mizukage spread his arms like a show off and started talking.

Danzo listened silently and kept his mouth shut, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The opponent's strategy is to set up an ambush to assassinate Aokiji. First, weaken his strength. Of course, it would be best if he can be killed directly. If he cannot be killed, then he can immediately seamlessly proceed to the second plan.

According to the clues left specially, it was revealed that Tsunade was in danger. At this time, Aokiji, who learned about this, would not worry about Tsunade's comfort at all, and would rush over without stopping.

After the previous round of consumption, even the jinchuriki's chakra will definitely be consumed by most of it. Plus, there is Tsunade as a hostage, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to deal with Aokiji.

After hearing this plan, Danzo took a deep look at the other party.

They had obviously done enough homework in preparing to kill the Aoki Pheasant.

If Tsunade is used as bait, Aokiji will definitely fight to the death, and the consequences of doing so will be death.

Danzo commented in his mind, but he was still a little worried about this plan.

Seemingly seeing Danzo's true thoughts, the Third Mizukage said bluntly: "What, are you afraid that I will kill Tsunade as well?"

Danzo's expression was not very good: "It's not impossible."

He just wanted Aokiji's life, but he didn't want to risk Tsunade's life.

The Third Mizukage knew that the other party would not believe anything he said, so he simply did not explain it and just emphasized the kidnapping and blackmail issue of Aokiji.

Danzo had a headache when he heard about this. He now regretted that he came to talk to him instead of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I can't answer you directly about this kind of thing right away."

Danzo did not refuse directly, leaving room for leeway.

He wanted to think about whether he could find other ways to get rid of Aokiji instead of using Tsunade as bait.
