Chapter 15
"Hiss~ Okay, the work is done. If there is nothing else, I will not keep you here." No, a spare three magatama must be transplanted immediately. Feeling the discomfort coming from his arm, Danzo understood that this was the agitation of the Wood Release Cells. Now without Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō, the few Sharingans on his arm could only barely suppress the Wood Release Cells.
"Why is there only one? At this point, Danzo, do you still want to hold back?"Looking at the Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand, the Third Hokage looked at Danzo with a slightly ugly expression and asked
"Humph, it's not that I want to keep it, but I only left one eye of Uchiha Shisui, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped. I guess the other Mangekyō is in the hands of that brat Uchiha Itachi. With that brat's trust in you, you can find out this information by just asking around. There's no need for me to lie to you."
Faced with his old friend's questioning, Danzo explained patiently with a dark face.
""Hmph? I'll believe you for once, but the story is not over yet. Don't you have anything to say about the Wood Release Ninja codenamed Jia under your command? You and Orochimaru have done a lot of things behind my back these years, haven't you? It was you who started the Wood Release project, and it was you who asked me to support it. I gave you the funds and manpower, but in the end, I became an outsider after the results were achieved?"
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't control his emotions. He had always been in control of the overall situation with the mentality of a wise man, but he didn't expect to find out that Danzo, whom he despised, was the wise man. He was like a clown, thinking that he had everything under control. In fact, all the good things were taken away by Danzo, and he didn't get anything. Instead, he spent money and effort to cover for him.…………
"What!…………Hiruzen, how did you know about the existence of Kabuto? It is obvious that only Ryoma and I knew about this matter. Even Orochimaru himself should not know about this matter. Is it possible? Impossible, Ryoma will never betray me. There is a restriction that the tongue can never be used to cause trouble."
The sudden questioning made Danzo lose his composure. Even Hiruzen knew about the existence of Kabuto, which meant that everything he had done over the years was completely secret from him. Even the transplanted Sharingan and Wood Release on his arm were probably under Hiruzen's surveillance. Damn it, Hiruzen, this hypocritical guy, was still so insidious.
"Don't worry about how I know it, just tell me honestly.
In view of your series of actions, the Root will be jointly controlled by Xiaochun and Yan with you in the future.
I will let Xiaochun and Yan review the data of the Wood Release experiments in recent years.
If there are other results, you'd better tell us as soon as possible, don't waste everyone's time.
"Xiaochun was right.
Danzo actually hid a Wood Release ninja.
Fortunately, he was discovered early.
If this Wood Release ninja grows up, I, the Hokage, will probably not be able to suppress him.
"No, Armor is my hard work for many years, Hiruzen, you must at least leave some for me. The Mangekyō Sharingan has been handed over to you, and Wood Release must be left to me. Moreover, Armor is still young and does not have combat power. It is useless for you to take it. It is better to leave it to the root so that I can train it well."
So the reason why Hiruzen came here today was actually because of this. Damn it, where did the news leak out? Did Orochimaru realize something was wrong later? So he passed the message to Hiruzen?
Humph, knowing that you can't snatch the results of Wood Release from me, you want Hiruzen to disgust me? Orochimaru~ You guys are still so nosy even if you defected?
"Humph, impossible, Jia must be taught by me, this is a matter of great importance to Konoha's future, your Root's style of doing things is not suitable for him."
What a joke, if you don't come here when he is still young and has no fighting ability, when he grows up, it will not be up to you to say it.
"you…………Hiruzen, you will regret this!"Damn it, I shouldn't have handed over the Mangekyō. This situation is too passive for me.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage! Koharu, take some people in to search, and don't miss any information about Wood Release." Ignoring Danzo's angry look, the Sandaime directly gave orders to the two elders beside him.
Although the power of the Root will be distributed to Danzo, Koharu and Yan in the future, in order to prevent Danzo from transferring resources after this time, Koharu must go in first to buy the bottom, so as to prevent Danzo from making trouble in secret.
""Okay, the rest of you follow me in and search." After receiving instructions from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu picked a group of people at random and walked into the base, including Uchiha Shinichi who had been following her.
Swish, swish, swish~
Seeing Utatane Koharu and his group forcing their way in, the Root members around them immediately pulled out their kunai. They didn't care whether you were an elder or not, the Root only listened to the orders of Lord Danzo.
"Danzo, you even ignored the Hokage's orders? Are you planning to rebel? Get them out of the way."Facing the Root members in front of him, Utatane Koharu looked at his old friend and threatened him with the Sandaime Hokage as a shield.
"Xiaochun, you... forget it~ all of you, get out of the way." Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Danzo didn't want to make things too awkward. In today's situation, even if he put all the Root on the line, he couldn't change the outcome. Hiruzen was obviously well prepared. It was estimated that all the Anbu in Konoha were transferred here by him.
"Yes, Master Danzo!"
As the Root retreated, Uchiha Shinichi followed Utatane Koharu into the Root base.
"Everyone, split up and search. Don't miss anything related to Wood Release. If you find anything important, come and inform me immediately."
"Yes, Elder Koharu!"
At Koharu's command, all the Anbu members dispersed.
Outside the base, the two sides were still in a standoff.~
"Danzo, I don't want to pursue this matter, but I hope you can cooperate with Xiaochun and Yan in the future. As for Itachi, you'd better behave yourself. He is still useful now."
Looking at the Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen called out to Danzo with a meaningful look.
"Humph, after all these years, Hiruzen, you are still the same. I don't believe that you, as the Hokage, will ignore Uchiha Itachi's threats. When he really grows up, it will be too late for you to regret."
He is worthy of being my teammate for many years. He hasn't even started to act yet, but Uchiha Itachi is not so easy to control. With three Mangekyō Sharingan in hand, who in Konoha can control him if he really grows up?
