Putting aside other things, Danzo is very good at putting accusations on others.
The many ninjas who had originally surrounded the scene had already shown a look of vigilance in their eyes.
"Oh? Who are you? Why are you talking nonsense here?" Uchiha Tomoki asked knowingly.
"My name is Danzo Shimura." Danzo did not get angry because of the rude words from the young man in front of him, but replied leisurely.
"So it's Danzo-sama. He's said to be one of Konoha's high-ranking officials and has made great contributions to Konoha."
"Contribution? Tell me what contribution you have made."
"There are so many things, such as... uh, why are you asking so many questions? Danzo-sama has made great contributions to Konoha, otherwise how could he become a high-ranking official?"
Uchiha Tomoki ignored everyone's comments and continued to ask, "So it's Elder Danzo. Although I, Uchiha Tomoki, am only a squad leader of the Konoha Security Department, I have heard of Elder Danzo's reputation. I wonder what specific position Danzo holds in the village? It seems that only the Hokage has the right to decide whether a ninja is sentenced to serve in the village. When I heard the question just now, I thought the Hokage had arrived."
"Hmph! You're so eloquent! No matter how you try to argue, these corpses can't be fake. They are ninjas from Konoha."
"So who is a Konoha ninja and who is not can be determined just by talking. I wonder what position Danzo-sama holds in Konoha. You know, the elders don't have the power to decide whether someone is a Konoha ninja or not."
"And as far as I know, these ninjas are spies from other countries. They disguised themselves as Anbu ninjas and tried to abduct the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I deliberately lured them away and successfully killed them with three members of the Security Department."
"I don't know if there are any ninjas from the archives here, but I can guarantee that there are absolutely no files on these people in all of Konoha's archives."
Of course there are files, but the files of Root ninjas are top secret in the Root. Apart from Danzo, only a few people have the right to access them.
It would be strange if Konoha Archives had their files.
"You..." Danzo opened his mouth and closed it again. The existence of the Root was not suitable for most of the ninjas present to know.
Danzo finally got angry and was left speechless by a brat from the Uchiha family.
Then he thought to himself: "For Konoha, nothing is unbearable. Only the huge roots that silently support Konoha in the darkness can protect Konoha."
"Huruzen, do you know how much I have sacrificed for Konoha? Only if I become Hokage can I lead Konoha to greatness again."
After feeling moved by himself, Danzo's anger towards Uchiha Tomoki disappeared.
An evil family like the Uchiha must be destroyed. Uchiha Tomoki will only be one of them. What I want is the complete destruction of the Uchiha.
Then he ignored Uchiha Tomoki. Danzo believed that Fugaku would definitely come under such circumstances, and there was no need to argue with this young boy.
After a while, the head of the Uchiha clan and the chief of the Konoha Security Department, Uchiha Fugaku, arrived at the scene with a pair of people.
"Elder Danzo is also here. I wonder what has happened that brings you here?"
"Hmph! I saw a sound in the sky passing through Konoha and thought it was an enemy invasion. When I came over, I found that your Uchiha clan was killing ninjas from the same village. What's the matter, Fugaku, are you Uchiha clan planning a rebellion?"
"Ah, I think Elder Danzo has misunderstood. We have confirmed that these three are indeed Kumogakure's spies, and they have six accomplices who are about to escape from Konoha Village."
"After killing those six, Captain Uchiha Tomoki must have been worried about his men's safety and was anxious to get on with his journey, leading Elder Danzo to believe there was an enemy invasion."
"Oh, by the way, this operation has been reported to the Hokage. If Elder Danzo has any questions, please feel free to come to the Security Department to ask."
Uchiha Fugaku knew that he still had to maintain the family honor in front of outsiders. It seemed that he had seen the Hokage before, Uchiha Tomoki thought.
Danzo originally didn't have the patience to argue with Uchiha Fugaku, but when he heard Uchiha Fugaku say that he had reported to the Hokage, he knew that Hiruzen had reached an agreement with Fugaku.
"Hiruzen, you actually gave up such a good opportunity. You are indeed indecisive and no longer suitable to be the Hokage. Only I am the right person for the position of Hokage."
Danzo was very angry when he learned that he was betrayed by his teammates, but he did not show it on the surface.
"I see. I understand. I'll leave first."
Seeing that the matter had been concluded, the other onlookers also dispersed in twos and threes.
-----
"Bang!" The door of the Hokage's office was roughly pushed open, and Danzo walked in.
"Huruzen! Why did you give up such a great opportunity!" Danzo asked directly.
"This is a good opportunity to solve this troublesome Uchiha. After the sacrifice of the Yondaime, they still dared to contact the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The Uchiha definitely has bad intentions."
"Fugaku has already told me that it's probably just normal interaction between children. Here's Uchiha Kari's information, take a look first."
As he said this, he handed a document in his hand to Danzo. Danzo took it and looked at it. It recorded all the big and small experiences of Uchiha Xia Li since his birth.
Danzo just glanced at it and threw it back: "Hiruzen, you wouldn't believe this trick to fool children, right? Uchiha Kari is the sister of Uchiha Tomoki and the granddaughter of Uchiha Hiko. How could such a person be like what is written here?"
"Just because Uchiha Youshu was able to kill the Root Ninja without hesitation today, we know that if it was an Anbu Ninja who went there, he would also be killed by him. He is a complete family ninja and must be eliminated immediately!"
"Oh~" Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. In exchange for not pursuing this incident, I demand that Fugaku transfer Uchiha Tomoki from the security department to the border garrison. Since he likes killing people, let him go to the border to kill the enemy."
"Huruzen, you're always such a hypocrite. Don't worry, I won't let him reach the border. Anyone who kills my Root will never be able to continue living."
Danzo saw what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, but he did not refuse. After all, the training of each ninja in the Root cost huge resources, and these resources were all collected from Konoha with great effort by him.
"Danzo, you misunderstood me. Uchiha Tomoki is an outstanding Jonin in the village and played a huge role in the battle between the village and the Hidden Mist Village."
Danzo sneered as he watched Sarutobi Hiruzen continue his performance. "Do you mean to let me disguise myself as Kirigakure?" The village's outstanding ninja, because he was too outstanding, caused huge losses to Kirigakure, so he was assassinated by Kirigakure after leaving the village. As expected, when it comes to playing tricks, it's you, Sarutobi Hiruzen. With such a dark heart, you are no match for the Hokage. Don't worry, Hiruzen. After I become Hokage, if you are still here, I will make you the leader of the Root. Now that your heart is filled with darkness, you are more suitable to hide in the dark than me.
Seeing that he was no longer talking, Danzo continued, "In order to prevent the Jinchūriki from being controlled by the Uchiha, I lost nine Roots. To make up for my loss, I will hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki to the Root."
"Huruzen, I will definitely train the Kyuubi Jinchuriki to be the village's most powerful weapon."
"Danzo, you must believe in the power of bonds. Naruto will find his bond with the village at the ninja school."
"Hmph! Hiruzen, your weak talk again, bonds! The bonds with the Uchiha clan?"
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Uchiha Kari will drop out of school soon. Danzo, I warn you again that your Root is absolutely not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"As for the Root's losses, the Uchiha will deliver them."
"Huruzen! Konoha will be destroyed by your indecision sooner or later."
"That's enough, Danzo, I'm the Hokage!"
"Huruzen, you're going to regret this!"
