Chapter 39 - One Year Agreement
Morning.
Hokage's office.
clang!
Danzo pushed the door open angrily and came in.
"Hiruzen, what's the plan..."
Halfway through his words, Danzo noticed that the Hokage's secretary Chiba Emi was also in the office. He suppressed his anger and didn't finish his words.
Chiba Emi was now standing by the desk, wearing a short skirt and a black tight-fitting top. Her figure was graceful and charming, and her pair of long, white legs and proud breasts made Danzo's anger subside a lot.
Danzo watched with a secret envy.
Damn it, when he becomes Hokage, he will also find such a beautiful, sexy and young secret technique.
"Hokage-sama, can I go out for a moment?"
Chiba Emi looked at the Sandai, who nodded slightly. Chiba Emi immediately walked out and closed the door.
As soon as Chiba Emi left, Danzo's anger rose again, and he loudly asked the Third Hokage, "Why did the plan to hunt Uchiha stop?"
The third generation did not reply, but first checked whether there was any problem with the barrier in the office. Danzo, the loudmouth, always said loudly in his office things that were not conducive to the unity of the village, which made him very tired.
Fortunately, he has always paid attention to his image in public.
This time was no exception. The barrier inside the office was very solid. No matter how loud they spoke inside, no one outside could hear them.
Even the Hyuga family's Byakugan couldn't see their lip movements when they spoke through the barrier, so there was no need to worry about the conversation here being leaked.
"Tell me, Hiruzen, why did you stop the plan?"
Danzo felt very uncomfortable. His research plan on the Sharingan was at a critical stage, when a large number of Sharingans were needed. If the hunt for the Uchiha clan was suddenly stopped at this time, what would happen to his Mangekyō Sharingan?
Now Jing only has one Mangekyō Sharingan left.
The other one only lasted until a year ago before it was scrapped, despite all his efforts.
The eye transplanted on the right eye now is Mirror's last right eye, the Mangekyō Sharingan.
If we can't find a solution to the problem of the Sharingan and the body's rejection, this Sharingan won't last long.
By the time he loses his Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength will be greatly affected, and many of his plans will not be able to be implemented smoothly.
This was something Danzo didn't want to see, and that was why he was so angry at the moment.
Danzo was very angry, but the Third Hokage was very calm.
"Recently, a large number of ninjas have been mobilized on the borders of the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Wind. The Uchiha clan's hunting plan has been temporarily cancelled." said the third generation.
Danzo frowned after hearing this. As for the possibility of war, he put aside the Uchiha issue and said solemnly, "Do those guys want to start another Ninja World War? Mito-sama is still here."
The Sandai sighed, "Mito-sama is old after all."
No one can resist the ravages of time. Even Lord Mito, who protected Konoha like a pillar during the last Ninja World War, is now nearly eighty years old.
The eighty-year-old leader has to constantly consume a large amount of his own chakra to maintain the seal on the Nine-Tails. Only because the Uzumaki clan is born with huge chakra and is good at sealing techniques, Lord Mito can continue to suppress and seal the Nine-Tails.
But no matter how strong Lord Mito is, his life is almost coming to an end. The mobilization of ninjas on the borders of various countries is also a test.
Faced with this kind of temptation, Konoha must fight back firmly and must not show any sign of weakness.
Otherwise... the consequences will be serious.
Therefore, the Third Generation must unite all the forces of Konoha, and the hunting plan against the Uchiha clan must be stopped. This is non-negotiable.
Fortunately, Danzo was sensible enough and did not continue to bother with the Uchiha clan's hunting plan.
You can say that Danzo is ambitious and selfish, but his feelings for Konoha are really beyond reproach. At least during this period, the safety of Konoha is still his top priority in his heart.
Putting aside the Uchiha clan's affairs for now, Danzo is now more concerned about the succession of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Huruzen, can that girl take on the responsibility of Mito-sama and become the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki?"
Danzo had great faith in Mito-sama's reputation and strength, but he didn't have much faith in the new little girl from the Uzumaki clan.
The huge amount of chakra on the Nine-Tails is so huge that even a ninja who does not have the ability to perceive chakra can intuitively feel the terrifying power of that powerful chakra, which is simply beyond human power.
In the entire ninja world, only Uchiha Madara and Lord Hashirama can treat the Nine-Tails as a pet. No one else can do it.
Danzo was really worried about handing over a scary monster like the Nine-Tailed Fox to a little girl. Wasn't that equivalent to handing his own safety over to that girl? He felt uneasy.
"How about we restart the plan to recreate Wood Release?" Danzo's eyes suddenly flashed and he suggested.
The ability of Wood Release to restrain the tailed beasts is obvious to all. As long as Konoha regains the Wood Release ninja, not only can the Nine-Tails be properly dealt with, but the tailed beast jinchūriki of other ninja villages will also be insignificant.
And...it can also solve the problem of his Sharingan and body rejection.
Danzo had already researched this aspect of Wood Release.
But he didn't dare to transplant the first generation of cells because he was afraid of death.
He would only dare to transplant after the Wood Release Resurrection Plan was successful and the first generation cells could be safely transplanted.
That way, he could have the Mangekyō Sharingan forever.
hey-hey!
Danzo's mind was full of calculations, but the Third Hokage didn't buy it and said, "Don't worry, I've asked Mito-sama, and if he doesn't do anything, she can hold on for at least another ten years."
"Ten years is enough time for Xin Jiuna to grow."
Compared to the plan to revive Wood Release, the Third Generation believed more in the physical constitution of the Uzumaki clan.
He had seen the girl named Shin Kuna, and she did have the same Vajra Sealing Technique chakra hidden in her body as Mito-sama.
This kind of Vajra Sealing Chakra, which has been condensed and passed down from generation to generation by the Uzumaki clan and is almost considered a special bloodline limit, can not only be awakened through bloodline inheritance, but also has stronger sealing ability than that of ordinary people when using the sealing technique.
Only this enhanced sealing chakra combined with the corresponding sealing technique can exert a terrifying sealing effect and firmly suppress and seal a huge chakra creature like the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Ten years!"
For some reason, Danzo felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing that Mito-sama could live for another ten years. Fortunately, he realized immediately that this was not an emotion he should have. He immediately asked the Third Hokage, "So how should we respond now?"
The Sandaime glanced at Danzo, picked up the pipe in his hand and knocked it on the table. He lit the cigarette and took a puff. He said, "Two Root teams will also join the intelligence gathering along the border. The assignment will be decided by the Anbu chief."
"What about me?"
After the third generation finished speaking, Danzo immediately frowned and stared at the third generation with an unfriendly look.
This old guy wouldn't be going to burn his bridges and immediately take back his rights in the Root after failing to deal with the Uchiha clan, would he?
"Don't worry, I won't undo the roots."
The third generation gave Danzo a reassuring look, and Danzo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Root was not abolished, he was still the most suitable man to lead the Root, no doubt about it.
"What results have you achieved with the little boy I gave you?" The third generation suddenly became concerned about Li Yao's question.
"What kid?" Danzo looked a little confused.
He really didn't think about Li Yao. In the past few years, his mind was focused on the Sharingan, so how could he care about a child?
"..." The third generation's mouth twitched when he heard this. After taking a deep puff of cigarette, he said with some annoyance and resentment: "Don't you care about my orders at all?"
"Ahem..." The third generation suddenly showed such a resentful tone and expression, and Danzo said that he could not bear it anymore.
The expression on Sandai's face now is just like when they were little and they were tired from playing by the river, so Sandai played the guitar while he was taking a nap. The expression Sandai showed him after he woke up was so unbearable.
For a moment, Danzo's face turned red, and he felt as if he had done something to let down the third generation, and felt a little guilty.
"Um...I'll go back and study it right away."
Danzo said this quickly and turned to leave, rushing back to the headquarters base to see if there was any special need for research on the little boy mentioned by the Third Hokage.
"etc."
The Third Hokage stopped Danzo and solemnly warned him, "That little boy is very dangerous. I'll give you a year at most. If you still can't come up with anything useful after a year, kill that little boy immediately."
Deep down, the third generation has always been wary of Li Yao.
After all, he knew nothing about Li Yao's past, and this unknown made him very uneasy.
A year later, regardless of whether Danzo had studied Li Yao or not, the third generation was ready to kill Li Yao directly to eliminate the trouble forever.
Danzo didn't pay attention to the Third Hokage's serious words, and just said "I know" and went back.
