Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 132: Contradictions emerge, Danzo returns with merit
After leaving the clan, Shisui followed the orders of the Third Hokage and sent people to keep an eye on Danzo, and it was a surveillance that was done openly.

Danzo's reaction was as Yan Shifan and Sima Yi expected. Even with the orders from the Third Hokage, he still did not intend to leave Konoha so easily.

Shisui did not hide anything, nor did he force anything, but directly sent Danzo's reaction to the Hokage Building.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En felt depressed when they heard the news.

"Danzo still refuses to give up~"

Mitomon En sighed. The four of them had worked together for so many years, so how could they not know what Danzo was thinking.

Utatane Koharu didn't have so many feelings, she just said: "Huruzen is in a coma, we can't let Danzo stay in Konoha no matter what."

After that, she sent the Anbu people in the name of Hokage to reiterate the orders of the Third Hokage.

Danzo was not surprised to receive the urging, and explained in front of the Anbu and the police department: "Two elite teams died on the way. How can I, the Root, with such a small number of people, arrive safely? I need time to prepare."

Danzo was very clear about the configuration of Shinnosuke's eight people. Two of them were elite jonins, and four of them were from the Sarutobi clan and were quite powerful. There was also a reconnaissance-type special jonin and a medical-type special jonin. The eight of them cooperated very well, and when operating within the national border, this configuration was already extremely powerful.

Except for Wood Release, he has tried every means possible, but still returned empty-handed. However, according to the information obtained by his subordinates, there should be three waves of people who surrounded and killed Shinnosuke, including them. This cannot be a coincidence. It seems that there are many people who have the same idea as him.

There are so many ambitious people in Konoha. If he leaves at this time, wouldn't he be putting Konoha in danger?
For Konoha, he must stay!

Danzo puffed out his chest, looking righteous.

The Anbu man knew that he couldn't persuade Danzo, so he just conveyed the message. Seeing that Danzo had reasonable grounds, he simply returned to the Hokage Building to report.

Upon hearing this, both Tenne and Koharu were overwhelmed.

"What Danzo said makes sense." Mito Menyan was silent for a moment and uttered a word.

"What's his point? Does he really think we don't know what he did?"

Utane Koharu was furious, but fell silent after she finished speaking.

Why not use the attack on Shinnosuke to question Danzo and threaten him to leave quickly?
Because it really could be him. If it is made clear, and Danzo is forced into a corner and takes action directly, it is hard to say what the result will be.

Thinking of this, the two had no choice but to send someone to pass the message again.

"Give him a day to prepare. If he still feels that the guards are insufficient, you can mobilize some Anbu to accompany him."

But how could Danzo leave willingly?
A day later, he continued to delay on the grounds that the Anbu had left and there was no one to protect the Hokage, and that Konoha might be in chaos.

The two did not dare to force it, so they had to accept it and sent their Anbu to urge them on.

Two days later, Danzo began to mobilize the Shimura clan, which was already small in number, to serve as guards, and used this as an excuse to continue delaying.

Utatane Koharu could no longer stand it, so she called Shisui over and said in a commanding tone, "Danzo has disobeyed the Hokage's order and has been reluctant to leave. You take the police officers and ask him to leave immediately. If he says that there are not enough guards, then send some police officers to accompany him for protection. No matter what, he must leave the village today."

Jiraiya has already made arrangements for Naruto, and he will go to the Yuno no Guo defense line on a chosen day to take charge of the situation. They can't delay any longer.

Shisui's face remained calm and he replied in a businesslike tone, "Assistant Danzo has sufficient reasons. I have no right to force him to go directly. As for the police department, we are only responsible for the security of the village. We are not allowed to be sent out without the personal order of the Hokage."

bang~
"Uchiha Shisui!"

Utane Koharu was stunned, then became furious. She didn't expect Shisui to dare to disobey her orders. Although she usually didn't get along with the Police Department, she was the Hokage's assistant, and relying on the Hokage's authority, Shisui would never speak to her like this.

"Uchiha Shisui, the Hokage has revealed his true character as soon as he feels a little unwell. How could Hiruzen be so blind as to trust an ungrateful person like you!"

Mito Kado En's face changed, and he immediately interrupted, coming to Shisui and advising, "Huruzen also gave the order to keep an eye on Danzo. Now Danzo is staying in the Root and delaying to carry out orders. This will endanger the safety of the village. Isn't the duty of the Police Department to protect Konoha?"

Shisui didn't care. The three assistants each had their own ulterior motives. Danzo wanted to stay and seize the opportunity to get promoted. Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu wanted to cause a fight between Uchiha and Danzo, but he would not participate unless the Third Hokage woke up and asked him to take action directly.

"The order from the Hokage is of course important. I have already sent people to keep an eye on Assistant Danzo. However, he is the Hokage's assistant after all, and he has legitimate reasons to prepare. If you don't have the order from the Hokage, you can't just take action against an assistant."

As Shisui spoke, he suddenly looked at the two of them. If he could bypass the Hokage and attack Danzo directly, then he could naturally attack the other two as well.

Realizing this, Utane Koharu was dumbfounded. Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything anymore, Shisui said hello and left instantly.

Shisui's refusal again made Utane Koharu so angry that she could hardly hide the murderous intent in her eyes.

"Damn you little bastard, are all Uchiha people so rude? He actually wanted to attack me. Even Fugaku didn't dare to talk to me like this in the beginning!"

Mito Kado En glanced at Utane Koharu and frowned slightly, advising: "What he said makes sense. We should not let them get involved in this matter, so as not to bring trouble upon ourselves. Moreover, the most urgent task is to let Danzo leave as soon as possible. Since the police department has concerns, how about using the Anbu?"

Utane Koharu sighed and shook her head repeatedly, "Danzo's prestige in the Anbu is higher than ours. It's fine if he passes on some orders, but if they force us to use force, we can't say who will be dealt with."

Many orders of the Anbu were issued by Danzo, and many people had done missions under him. When the Third Hokage was in a coma and the captain of the Anbu died, Danzo had the highest command authority.

If the Third Hokage had not given Danzo the task of leaving the village in front of everyone, Danzo would have taken over the Anbu and suppressed the two men long ago.

"This"

The two were having a headache, and just then, an Anbu came to report.

"Two assistants, the Hokage has awakened. Please go to the Sarutobi clan's territory."

"Hiruzen is awake!"

The two were overjoyed, and Utane Koharu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that the Third Generation had only been in a coma for a few days, but everything went wrong for them. The usually obedient Uchiha Shisui even dared to directly refuse their orders.

"We must make Hiruzen recognize the Uchiha brat!"

Having said that, the two of them immediately headed for the Sarutobi clan's territory. When they arrived, they found that Shisui, who had just left, had already arrived here.

In addition, there are Jiraiya, Asuma Sarutobi and several medical ninjas.

"I'm sorry, Sandaime-sama, Danzo-sama is using these excuses to delay leaving. After all, he is the Hokage's assistant. I can't force him to leave, so I can only refuse the order to turn the assistant."

As soon as the two entered the room, they heard Shisui telling tales again. Koharu felt her head getting hot and her vision went dark. She wanted to run over and tear Shisui apart.

She took a deep breath and was about to yell, but was quickly stopped by Mito Menyan.

"Hiruzen just woke up, don't make a noise."

Mitomon En had a headache. He didn't understand why his usually calm friend became so irritable when he met a little kid like Shisui.

It’s not a big deal, but why do they keep pursuing it and making so many situations so embarrassing?

Utane Koharu was speechless. She looked at the pale-faced Sandaime and had to swallow her breath.

The third generation also noticed the arrival of the two. He was helped to sit up by Asuma Sarutobi. After being in a coma for three days, his body became increasingly weak.

Several medical ninjas also knew that they had important matters to discuss, so they left on their own accord when they saw Utane Koharu was present.

"Shisui did a good job. If he goes there, it will only intensify the conflict. Jiraiya, take the Anbu with you and have Danzo take the Root people to Kyoto immediately."

Just a few words almost exhausted Sandai's energy. Shisui truly felt Sandai's condition. He was out of breath and exhausted, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

Jiraiya sighed in his heart, looked at the Third Generation, nodded in agreement, and then left.

"Shisui."

After Jiraiya left, the Sandaime called softly, and Shisui immediately stepped forward and replied softly, "I'm here."

"Konoha, don't mess around, you have to watch out"

The Sandai's voice became smaller and smaller, but his breathing became increasingly rapid. When Utane Koharu noticed the Sandai's condition, he immediately went forward to check on him.

"Hiruzen, you just woke up and your body is too weak. You should continue to rest."

Utane Koharu didn't dare to let the third generation continue to worry, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

The third generation also knew his condition. He sighed and stopped talking. Asuma immediately helped him lie down.

Seeing this, Shisui had no choice but to leave first. After he left, the Third Hokage called out softly, "Tsunade, Tsunade."

Upon hearing this, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En looked at each other and left immediately.

"Continue to mobilize manpower and find Tsunade as soon as possible and get her back!"

After Shisui refused their order, the two understood the importance of this matter and immediately mobilized their tribesmen to leave Konoha to look for Tsunade. Danzo, with a very ugly expression, led the Root to the gate of Konoha.

The Anbu and Jiraiya beside him were looking at him expressionlessly.

He didn't expect that the Third Generation would wake up so quickly, and he didn't expect that the Third Generation would be so determined. The first thing he did after waking up was to ask Jiraiya to urge him to carry out the mission.

If it was someone from the Anbu, the Police Department, or those two guys, he could have kept them, but it had to be Jiraiya.

This man, who was stronger, more prestigious, and even more legitimate than him, received the order from the Hokage. He was powerless to resist and had to lead the Root to Kyoto in frustration.

After he led his men away, Jiraiya scratched his head and sighed, "What a trouble. Bring a few people to watch them and don't let them come back again."

"Yes!"

After dealing with Danzo's problem, Jiraiya immediately returned to Naruto's home. At this moment, Naruto had already packed up his toys and was sitting quietly on the bed in a daze.

"Naruto, I'm back, let's go eat barbecue."

Today is the last day, and tomorrow Jiraiya will set off for the Yunoku National Defense Line.

However, in response to Jiraiya's call, Naruto sat on the bed with his head down and did not respond.

"Naruto."

"Grandpa Toad, can you please not leave?" Naruto's voice was very low. He bent his legs and buried his head, not daring to look up.

Jiraiya paused, he slowly came to Naruto, stretched out his hand to stroke Naruto's hair, and explained softly: "Naruto, bad guys have come from the north, they want to destroy Konoha and kill many people. Grandpa Toad is going to destroy them and protect Konoha and you."

"No, I don't want Konoha, I only want Grandpa Toad!"

Naruto shook his head, desperately refusing.

Jiraiya frowned. Naruto's words were not nice, but he still patiently advised: "Naruto, don't be willful. The village is a place to protect everyone. I must protect Konoha. If you feel bored after I leave, you can ask Sasuke to come and play with you. I will arrange it."

slap~
As Jiraiya was speaking, Naruto suddenly slapped his hand away, extremely emotional. He raised his head and cried, "No, I don't want Sasuke. He has a father, a mother, and a brother. I only have Grandpa Toad. I don't want Grandpa Toad to leave me!"

Naruto threw himself directly into Jiraiya's arms, his body shaking slightly.

Jiraiya was stunned. He stood there in a daze, with his hand that was slapped away frozen there for a long time. With a dim look in his eyes, he slowly stroked Naruto's hair.

"Feel sorry."

If only he had been in the village at that time.

The two were silent for a long time, until Naruto's emotions settled down and sleepiness came over him, Jiraiya patted his head and said: "Naruto, I'm glad that you value Grandpa Toad so much.

But Grandpa Toad is the disciple of the Hokage, and everyone in this village is my family, and they are all people I want to protect.

Does Naruto want Grandpa Toad to lose his family? "

"don't want."

Naruto whispered back, still lying in Jiraiya's arms.

"I don't want Grandpa Toad to become a human too."

"Naruto is you scared of being alone?"

"Um"

"I see. Then set a goal. If you become Hokage, all the villagers will be your family and you won't feel lonely anymore."

"Become a Hokage? Like the Sandaime grandfather?"

"Yes."

"Will I have a family if I become Hokage? Will I no longer be alone?"

"Of course!"

"Really?"

"real."

"Then it's decided. I'm going to be the Hokage! I must become the Hokage!"

Naruto looked up, and the sudden light in his eyes and the familiar face made Jiraiya slightly distracted.

"Hahaha, okay, then it's a deal, Naruto, you must become Hokage, this is our agreement!"

"Yes! We have a deal, I will become Hokage!"

The two men exchanged fists, their eyes shining brightly.

goo~
Suddenly, Naruto's stomach growled and the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Let's go eat barbecue. I'll let you eat as much as you want today."

"Ok!"

The next day, when Naruto was too sleepy to get up, Jiraiya said goodbye softly, said hello to the Third Hokage, and led several teams north to the Yunoku National Defense Line. The Anbu immediately returned to Naruto to protect and monitor him.

At the same time another message was sent to Konoha.

"We got news that a bounty hunter brought more than a dozen heads to a gold exchange in the Land of Fire for 80 million taels."

Shisui was shocked and subconsciously asked, "Whose head is it? It's so valuable!"

"The heads of Shinnosuke, Sarutobi Yuuki and eight others are all there. Not only that, the man also brought the heads of several famous bounty hunters. In total, they were worth about 80 million ryo."

Hui opened his mouth and then began to explain.

After hearing this, Shisui fell silent. After all, he was the eldest son of the third generation, but his head was sent to the gold exchange office.

"Has the third generation heard the news?"

Hui shook his head and said, "The Anbu knew, the Sarutobi clan knew, but the Sandaime might not know."

"Yeah, it's better not to tell you. Any news about the bounty hunter's identity?"

"Not yet. I heard that the man didn't show his face, and after handing over the head, he immediately set his sights on the next bounty. He must be a wandering ninja who is short of money."

Shisui nodded and had to give up. At this point, he couldn't mobilize a large army just for Shinnosuke's head.

After this, the village fell into peace again, and the various departments of Konoha continued to operate as usual.

Although the Third Hokage was seriously ill and unable to handle government affairs, two assistants were temporarily taking over, so there would be no problem in the short term. Even very few people in the entire Konoha knew about the Third Hokage's condition.

Shisui continued with his work in the police department.

However, undercurrents were surging in Konoha. On the one hand, the two assistants stepped up their search for Tsunade, and on the other hand, they kept in contact with various clans in the village. Together with the Sarutobi clan, some ninjas from the three clans gradually entered the Anbu to work.

Shisui saw all of this. Now that the Third Hokage was not around, there was no one in the Hokage Building who could give him direct orders. This was a good opportunity to expand the Police Department, and he wanted to take action before Utane Koharu became powerful.

However, Sima Yi and Yan Shifan stopped him.

"No hurry. Once the army sets out and two thousand ninjas leave Konoha, Konoha will become even emptier. That will be the opportunity to expand power."

The proportion of village ninjas and civilian ninjas who do not recognize the Uchiha is greater, and the more of them leave, the better it is for them.

Shisui followed the advice of the two and chose to continue to endure, and secretly recorded the families and ninjas that Utatane Koharu contacted.

Shisui thought that this period of time would take a long time. After all, even if everything went well, it would take Danzo about half a month to come back.

However, things in the world always change unexpectedly. When everyone thought they still had time, Danzo, who had left Konoha for only four days, returned to Konoha again, bringing with him a group of ninja troops sent by the daimyo to escort the grant.

Konoha was shocked, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were trembling in their hearts. Danzo returned with merit, can they still wait for Tsunade to come back?
