Naruto: the Uchiha Rules the World

[Outside the Root Base]

With one order from the Third Hokage, a great number of masked Anbu rushed into Root.

While entering, they were shouting, "Resist and you will be killed without mercy!"

Uchiha Fugaku and Kairen looked at each other, then Fugaku said to the Third, "Hokage-sama, our Uchiha clan can help."

The Third Hokage waved his hand, his face full of sternness, "Elder Fugaku's good intentions I understand, but your Uchiha clan has never coordinated with Anbu before. Mistaken injuries could occur. Better leave it to Anbu."

"Rest assured, Anbu can handle all of this."

From underground came faint shouts of killing and explosion sounds, and several members of the Hyuga clan secretly activated their Byakugan.

Strange expressions appeared on their faces.

Because all the Root members didn't resist at all, they immediately surrendered upon hearing the wind.

Even the fighting and shouting sounds were completely faked by the Anbu.

At this time, there were already Uchiha clan members who came to Fugaku's side and softly reported, "Clan Head, just now twelve unidentified elite attacked, all with strength above jonin."

"But they were repelled by Elder Rengoku and Itachi."

Fugaku looked surprised. He wasn't shocked that the clan was attacked.

After all, Rengoku had previously said that the Third Hokage might act like a cornered dog, so Rengoku had stayed in the clan specially to wait.

But what was strange was that Itachi had actually returned.

Rengoku only sent someone to report safety, and did not mention details of the fight.

Fugaku didn't pay it much mind. After all, with Rengoku in the clan, he had complete confidence.

On the Root side, the Anbu's operations gradually showed results.

Anbu had already started bringing out Root members.

All Root members were bound at the hands, obediently following behind the Anbu.

The number of people kept increasing, and at the rear were Root's research group head, Fujiwara, as well as Yamanaka Fu, Aburame Torune, and others.

But there was no sign of Danzo.

One Anbu approached the Third Hokage and reported the results, "Reporting to Hokage-sama, we successfully broke into Danzo's hidden underground base."

"Captured Root members who hadn't disbanded, such as Yamanaka Fu, Aburame Torune… and others."

"Shimura Danzo is on the run. Our people are currently chasing him."

The Anbu's voice was loud, as if afraid others wouldn't hear.

Expressions around the Third Hokage varied, but all had a hint of ridicule.

The Uchiha were the most obvious. Upon hearing the Anbu's report,

Uchiha Kairen said sarcastically, "So many Anbu, and you still can't catch an old fossil like Danzo?"

The Third Hokage's face sank, and he took a puff from his pipe, "Capture always takes time. There will be results soon."

Uchiha Kairen crossed his arms, "Hiruzen, if your people can't catch him, we Uchiha have plenty of capable hands."

"Free assistance. No need to pay extra," As he spoke, Uchiha Kairen took the lead in laughing, and the Uchihas behind all burst into wild and arrogant laughter.

Even Fugaku, who had always shown deep respect for the Third Hokage, also laughed.

Including the Hyuga clan, everyone silently stepped back two paces, opening up space between the Uchiha and the Third Hokage.

Everyone could see it clearly, the Uchiha clan was obviously provoking the Third Hokage.

As long as Uchiha Kairen was present, so-called Clan Head Fugaku was just an echo beside him.

Kairen had a strong tendency for aggression.

Not only did he show no respect for the Third Hokage, he even seemed ready to stab Hiruzen at any time.

That aggressive look, it was like he hoped a fight would break out.

But it also made sense.

Or rather, this was the correct "style" for the Uchiha.

With three Mangekyo Sharingan masters in the clan, if they didn't act arrogant, would they still be Uchiha?

Not to mention the Uchiha also had a grudge with Danzo.

Danzo had clearly been dismissed from office, yet still retained power like before, and Root wasn't disbanded at all.

Such a situation could be played down, or blown up.

But if a fight started over this matter, the other clans definitely wouldn't help the Third Hokage.

After all, Danzo was a piece of stinking dog shit. Who knew how many things he had done to damage Konoha's interests before?

And yet you kept him, who would be okay with that?

The Third Hokage had ruled for so many years, of course he knew that in the current situation, he could only back down.

Facing Kairen's provocation, the Third Hokage gestured to the Anbu beside him, signaling him to back down.

Then, calmly and unhurriedly, he said to everyone, "Please rest assured, Elders. This time, Danzo and the remaining Root scum will all be uprooted by me and thrown into Konoha's prison."

Uchiha Kairen looked at the Third Hokage's face, without a trace of anger.

He couldn't help but sigh, 'Hiruzen has such deep scheming, only Rengoku can surpass him.'

After all, Rengoku had already said that in today's situation, the Grand Elder could be forceful, even mock Hiruzen.

In such circumstances, the Third Hokage would definitely back down.

Everything had gone just as Rengoku predicted.

Uchiha Kairen snorted coldly and stopped arguing.

He waited with the others for today's conclusion.

———

The Third Hokage had arranged in advance for Homura and Koharu to control the situation.

But the Hyuga clan also had some clever tricks. Once the branch family scattered the propaganda materials, they didn't care anymore.

Then they just went about their own business, pretending they didn't know anything had just happened.

Hyuga's high-level members were all on the Third Hokage's side, yet Homura couldn't even find a single Hyuga leader.

Would the Hyuga branch listen to a Konoha advisor elder? Besides, the Third Hokage had already suspended them.

After distributing the flyers, they all returned to the Hyuga compound.

This infuriated Homura completely.

On Koharu's side, she also sent people to stop villagers from looking at the flyers, while she went to the school to stop Uchiha Rengoku.

In the end, she not only got toyed with by Rengoku, but the Anbu trying to stop villagers from reading the flyers were just as ineffective.

The more something is blocked, the more curious the villagers of Konoha became.

Some people even pretended to comply outwardly, while secretly hiding a couple of flyers. Who could stop that?

The two of them came to the Third Hokage with dark, grim faces.

The Third Hokage could tell just by their expressions that things hadn't gone well.

But the incident had broken out suddenly. He was also in a passive position. In this situation, all he could do was hold his nose and endure.

At this time, an Anbu came to the Third Hokage's ear and secretly reported the battle situation of Sarutobi Ishishu and others.

The Third Hokage sighed inwardly, he didn't expect Uchiha Rengoku to have planned so thoroughly.

Originally, he wanted to strike while the three Mangekyo users were away, and eliminate the Uchiha clan territory.

Then surround and kill Fugaku and others.

After all, once Uchiha were dead or few in number, other ninja clans would never turn against him for a few leftover Uchihas.

But both Itachi and Rengoku had hidden themselves in the clan, and his forces suffered heavy losses.

He quietly made a hand gesture, and after a while, an Anbu came to report again, "Hokage-sama, Shimura Danzo has been captured and is being escorted to the prison."
