Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 131: Get ready...get ready to take over the Fire Nation!
"Go to Daming Mansion and kill Daming!"

Unconsciously, this voice became the mainstream in Konoha.

But Shikaku could only watch this happen and couldn't suppress it anymore.

He knew very well that those people would not listen to him.

There, there are many small ninjas who have joined Hinata Yu.

Among them are the civilian ninjas who hoped that Minato would become the daimyo but were suppressed by him.

There are also many ninjas and civilians rescued from the isolated island...

These people all have one thing in common.

They are people who have experienced pain under the existing system or are often ignored.

And the person most likely to...destroy the existing system.

There is no ninja in Konoha who has both the prestige and strength to unite these people. All the ninjas with such ability are either dead or outside Konoha and have not returned yet.

Forcible suppression by force would only make these people doubt his position and plunge Konoha into greater chaos, but if they were not stopped and allowed to continue to find more companions, the consequences would be disastrous.

Just when Shikaku was in a dilemma, someone who could stabilize the situation came back.

It’s Tsunade!
"Lady Tsunade, it's great that you're finally back. I can't hold on any longer."

In the Hokage's office, Shikaku looked at Tsunade who had returned alone, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in surprise, "Where are Fugaku and the others?"

"I came back on my own." Tsunade waved her hand indifferently, "Because I won many times in the casino, I didn't continue with the cleaning plan, and came back early, and didn't meet Fugaku."

“…Is that so?” Shikaku broke into a sweat.

"Let's not talk about that. Are the rumors within Konoha true, Shikaku?"

When asked about this, Tsunade's expression suddenly darkened, "Minato is dead, Jiraiya is missing, Orochimaru defected, and Haneko... is dead too?"

"..."

Shikaku nodded with a heavy expression, "The news about the Fourth Hokage and Master Jiraiya was passed back by Yamaru. After Orochimaru defected, the Third Hokage went in pursuit. Yu's body is in the morgue and has been identified."

"Did the daimyo do it?"

"..."

"is it?"

Seeing that Shikaku had fallen silent as if in acquiescence, Tsunade looked dazed for a moment. Under Shikaku's worried gaze, she walked to the window, looked at the increasing number of ninjas gathering nearby outside, pursed her lips, and left without saying a word.

She seemed to have come just to confirm the authenticity of the news with Shikaku.

Seeing this, Shikaku was stunned and hurriedly followed, "Tsunade-sama, where are you going now?"

"Go meet... Danzo!"

Tsunade said as she stepped out of the Hokage building, the gathered ninjas followed her without a word when they saw her.

Shikaku knew that these people wanted a backbone after learning the news of Tsunade's return, and they also wanted to know Tsunade's answer.

After all, they couldn't do anything if Tsunade got in the way.

It was in such a silent atmosphere that Tsunade came to the torture room and met Danzo.

The other party was still the same as before, entangled in chains with sealing spells, sitting there quietly.

"Tsunade, what do you think? Hiruzen regrets this now, right?" Danzo laughed shrilly.

"Don't act dumb here. You know what I want to ask. Have you arranged someone around the Daimyo?"

Tsunade stared at him coldly, "Tell him to tell me the information about the Daimyo."

"..."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and said dimly, "What do you want to do with the information?"

He had indeed planted people under the daimyo, and even some members of the Root were now doing dirty work for the daimyo, waiting for the opportunity.

Tsunade said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"hehe."

With two cold smiles, Danzo did not expect Tsunade to answer, and only asked: "What can I get?"

"I'll beat you to death right now!" Tsunade's arms were covered with blue veins, and the chakra she emitted made Danzo's heart tighten. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend anyone now, so he had no choice but to reveal the information.

"Go to shop number three on the commercial street and you can get all the information you want."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade turned around and left, showing no interest in continuing the conversation with him.

Shikaku followed Tsunade the entire time, watching her meet Danzo and go through the intelligence on the Daimyo that the Root spies had gathered.

Looking at the solid evidence of the murder of the Fourth Hokage, Shikaku looked at Tsunade worriedly.

The other person's expression was very calm, so calm that it made Shikaku feel scared.

Finally, Tsunade turned to the last piece of information and saw the three words "Hinata Yu" on it. As if she had made up her mind, she slowly stood up and walked out of the store.

At this time, most of Konoha's ninjas had gathered.

Not only the ninjas who wanted revenge, but also those ninjas from the Shinobi clan who were unaware of the truth gathered there.

Because of Tsunade's identity, they also wanted to know the answer.

"..."

Before Tsunade spoke, Shikaku seemed to be worried that she would make an irrational choice, and said in a low voice: "Lady Tsunade, please calm down, we..."

"Minato is dead."

Tsunade's weak voice interrupted Shikaku's words, and she stared blankly at him as he walked towards the ninjas.

"Jiraichi might be dead too."

"Orochimaru is gone."

"Hako-chan is dead."

With every step, Tsunade mentioned a name, and finally looked back at Shikaku with a sad look, "Shikaku, how can you ask me to calm down? How can I calm down!?"

"..."

Shikaku was speechless.

"Peace survives when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise. This is what is now engraved in the textbooks of new schools."

At this time, an Uchiha ninja looked at the frozen Shikaku and said in a low voice: "Shikaku squad leader, you have always been so calm, so what did you get in return for this calmness?"

"Since calmness has brought the death of Hokage-sama and his men, let the Daimyo taste the wrath of the Lord!"

Shikaku looked at him in a daze, unable to make any rebuttal.

Some anger will never disappear with time, some hatred will always exist.

If Konoha wants to successfully survive this crisis, someone must step forward.

And Tsunade is the best choice.

The granddaughter of the first generation.

The princess of the Fire Nation.

She has the ability and status to question the leader of the Fire Nation.

"Let's go. Anyone who wants to come with me, let's go ask and meet the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

After saying this, Tsunade walked towards the village entrance with a silent expression.

Upon hearing Tsunade's decision, many ninjas were shocked and walked out of Konoha with her, heading towards another center of the Fire Kingdom - the Fire Kingdom Daimyo's Palace!
Watching this scene, Shikaku knew that everything was irreversible, and said to a fellow ninja with a bitter face:
"Get ready...get ready to take over the Fire Nation!"

question?

If Tsunade was in a state of mind where she could calmly chat with the daimyo, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

Not to mention that those ninjas were also in a state of rage...

After that, I am afraid I will face endless troubles.

But this might be... the only way to break the impasse.

Shikaku sighed secretly.
