Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 135 Hinata's grievances, Danzo's struggles

At the Yunogu National Defense Frontier, the Konoha Ninja Army Camp, several command assistants sorted out the intelligence sent by the reconnaissance team and handed it to Jiraiya, who read it and nodded slowly.

As Jiraiya expected, as long as he arrived at the defense line, the morale of the army would naturally stabilize.

The presence of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was the best comfort to the Konoha ninjas. The army then stabilized and followed Jiraiya's lead to attack. The Hidden Cloud Village did not realize that Konoha had changed its commander and was caught off guard. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties.

Although Konoha had some advantages in this battle due to the asymmetry of intelligence, the number of Konoha ninjas was at a disadvantage, and even with Jiraiya present, they were unable to regain the lost defense line.

After this battle, Konoha was still generally on the defensive, but Kumogakure's offensive also slowed down.

The two sides returned to small-scale infiltration warfare, waiting for the next opportunity.

"Master Jiraiya, the reinforcements are still sixty miles from here and are almost at the boundary of the rear camp."

Just as Jiraiya was thinking, someone walked into the military camp to report.

Long before the Konoha reinforcements set out, the Anbu had sent a secret letter in advance. Jiraiya already knew about the reinforcements, so he was not surprised to hear it.

He was just curious, how did the three old guys manage to send troops to support so quickly?

"Be on guard and send out the reconnaissance team to monitor the movements of Kumogakure at all times. Also, send someone to clean up the camp and make arrangements for reinforcements in a timely manner."

"Yes!"

Because they were at a disadvantage, the Konoha Ninja Army acted more cautiously. Although the Cloud Village was aware that something might have happened, they could not find an opportunity to intervene.

That night, reinforcements arrived at the defense line and Jiraiya went out of the camp to meet them. After the captain took over from Jiraiya, he did something that puzzled everyone.

"All the ninjas coming to reinforce this time are here. This is the roster. Lord Jiraiya can arrange them as you wish. I have a mission to complete and will return to Konoha first."

After learning that the other party was the captain chosen by Danzo to lead the army, Jiraiya thought that the other party would be a very difficult guy. However, he did not expect that the other party would really leave after bringing the people here. This made him a little confused.

But it was better that the other party left, so that Danzo would not cause trouble in the army. He simply responded and let the other party leave.

This scene made Sima Yi, who came with him, very confused. Danzo was willing to betray Uchiha to get the position, but he just left without doing anything.

What is he planning?
"The place is now cleared. Let's set up our tents and rest for the night. We can discuss anything tomorrow."

Jiraiya knew that everyone had been traveling for a long time, so he didn't waste any time. After making some simple arrangements, he let everyone rest.

It was not until the next morning that Sima Yi and Hui received an invitation from Jiraiya to go to the camp for a meeting.

When the two arrived, there were a few people standing next to Jiraiya. Sima Yi glanced at them and then his eyes fell on the people of the Hyuga clan. It was not that he had seen Byakugan before, but the other party's expression was a little strange.

A total of two people from the Hyuga clan came. One of the younger ones was the Hyuga Hizashi who came with the reinforcements. Sima Yi had never seen the other one before, and guessed that it should be the Hyuga Haruhiko mentioned in previous intelligence.

At this time, the two men looked very ugly. After noticing Sima Yi's gaze, Hyuga Hizashi snorted coldly, completely losing the depressed momentum he had on the way to support.

Jiraiya also noticed the strangeness between the two people. Compared with Sima Yi's doubts, he still knew the inside story.

In the past, Utane Koharu deliberately misled everyone, causing the Konoha ninjas, including the Hyuga clan in the village, to believe that the defense line was lost because Hyuga Touhiko on the front line failed to send timely reinforcements.

For this reason, Hinata mobilized most of the clan's forces to come to support in order to make up for the mistake, and was looked down upon along the way.

However, when they arrived at the defense line and learned the truth from Hinata Dongyan, they discovered that the loss of the first line of defense was clearly the result of the village's high-level officials' reckless manipulation. They and the Nara clan had been bearing the blame for so long in vain.

They were naturally annoyed, but when they wanted to seek justice, they suddenly realized that when Koharu Tsuneyasu reported the situation, he only gave guidance and never directly stated the causal relationship between the untimely reinforcement and the loss of the first line of defense.

Even the Third Generation said that it was his responsibility to lose the front line, but at that time, everyone including Hyuga Hiashi thought that the Third Generation was trying to appease the Hyuga clan, and they were somewhat moved.

damn it!
Hinata Hizashi is in his prime, and although the bird in the cage has cut off some of his spirit, he still can't tolerate the insidious behavior of the Konoha high-level officials. After learning about the situation last night, he wrote a letter to report what happened here back to the village.

When Sima Yi looked at him at this moment, he immediately remembered the contempt he had received along the way. He snorted coldly, unable to hide his dissatisfaction.

Jiraiya immediately interrupted everyone upon seeing this and started a combat meeting.

Although the reinforcements have arrived, they need some time to adjust internally. In addition, they have to wait for the infiltration troops to achieve results and obtain enemy intelligence before they can launch the next large-scale counterattack.

Jiraiya has been fighting for many years. Although his command ability is not as good as that of Nara Suzaku and Nara Shikaku, his arrangements in various places can be said to be steady and solid.

Sima Yi and Hui were just listening on the side. They didn't know much about this place and didn't raise any opinions. The other parties also had no opinions.

After the combat meeting was over, Sima Yi and Hui were stopped by Jiraiya.

Looking at this old man who was older than the third generation, Jiraiya became serious for a rare time. He took out the map of the areas where both sides were located, and then explained the intelligence about Kumogakure that he had obtained recently.

Although this information is confidential, the Uchiha high-ranking officials are qualified to know it.

Sima Yi knew that the other party was testing his ability, but after reading all this he still did not give any opinion.

He just said, "I need to understand the situation of both parties carefully. I can't give any suggestions for the time being. Let's talk about it in half a month."

Jiraiya was puzzled. He had already explained the situation of both sides very clearly. What else did Sima Yi want to know?
However, he did not ask any further questions. Half a month was not a long time after all. If the other party did not have this ability, he could just find a way to let the Nara family continue to command.

After saying goodbye to Jiraiya, the two returned to their own tent. Hui asked curiously, "Master Jiraiya, are you testing Uncle Yi's ability? Why don't you show off your skills?"

Knowing that Hui was impatient, Sima Yi smiled and explained: "The Uchiha had never been here during the previous Ninja World Wars, and we have just arrived not long ago. It would be too hasty to make a judgment based on the information on paper.

Don't be impatient, think twice before you act, wait for some time, and make a judgment after the strength of both sides and the current situation are clear.

As long as this war is going on, there will be opportunities to establish authority."

Hui suddenly realized and quickly praised: "Uncle Yi, you are the most steady!"

Then he sighed again, looked back at Konoha and said, "Without Uncle Yi's help, I don't know how Shisui is doing."

The situation in Konoha was very chaotic when they left, and Hui didn't know Yan Shifan very well, so he was quite worried.

"It's okay, Shisui will be fine."

Konoha, the land of the Kurama clan.

The old clan leader Kurama Ansai looked at the Root members in front of him and felt despair.

"Chief Kurama, please make a decision as soon as possible. Lord Danzo's patience is limited."

The cold voice lingered in the dim room. After Genbu left, Kurama Ansai was silent for a long time. When he opened his eyes, they were full of confusion.

He didn't expect that after being rejected by the big Uchiha families, Danzo would actually turn his attention to their small families.

He is the only jonin in the Kurama clan now. It is really hard to imagine that even though they have not fallen to this point, Danzo still wants to take a bite.

reject?

What can I say no to?
The Root is weak compared to those big families. Even if Danzo is isolated by the top leaders, he is still capable of eliminating the Kurama clan.

"Father, please let me go, otherwise Danzo will not let it go."

Kurama Ansai's only two remaining sons, Kurama Murakumo and Kurama Unkai, spoke at the same time.

Kurama Murasaki is a special jonin of the illusion type, and the strongest in the family except for Kurama Ansai. Kurama Unkai's talent is slightly worse, but he is a Chunin, and if he cannot awaken the bloodstains, he will at most be a special jonin in the future.

Kurama Yakumo is too young, and if the family loses even this son, there will be no hope for them.

"How much money is left in the clan?" After a moment of silence, Kurama Ansai sighed and asked softly.

"money?"

Kurama Muyun was stunned for a moment, frowned and recalled, then replied: "Less than 3 million taels." "Take it with you, and come with me to the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha clan gave up on us long ago. If we go to them now, can they help us?" Kurama Yunhai asked angrily.

The Kurama clan was quite loyal to the Uchiha clan. Under the circumstances back then, they chose to support the Uchiha clan in the fight for the position of Hokage. As a result, they ended up like this because of the Uchiha clan, but the Uchiha clan didn't show any expression at all. It was really disheartening.

"Don't say anything more, let's go."

Kurama Ansai certainly knew all this, but they had no choice now. Danzo's situation was not much better than that of Uchiha at the beginning. If they were dragged into it at this time, the Kurama clan would be really finished.

Although Kurama Muyun was also unwilling, he did not refute the other party, but stood up and followed.

The two brought gifts to the Uchiha clan's territory, and were then taken to Shisui's yard by the clan's guards.

After learning about the situation, Shisui solemnly met with the two men, which made Kurama Murasaki's expression ease a little.

"I was not feeling well before, so I did not have the opportunity to visit you since Shisui-sama became the clan leader. I hope you will forgive me for coming here today when I have time."

Those who are strong and powerful are adults, regardless of age.

Shisui was already used to this. He looked at the two people, then at the gifts, knowing that they must have something to ask for, and without trying to figure out their thoughts, he asked sincerely, "In the past, the Uchiha clan was in constant turmoil and it was difficult to quell it, so they could only watch the Kurama clan being targeted and gradually declining.

Although I did not do this, I feel deeply guilty. If you two have anything to ask for, please speak up. If I can help, Uchiha will not sit idly by. "

The two were moved, and Kurama Muyun even lowered his head, feeling guilty for his previous thoughts.

Kurama Ansai was also excited. Is the Uchiha finally going to rise?

The hard days of the Kurama clan are finally coming to an end!
At that moment, he suppressed his emotions, organized his words, and told Shisui about Danzo.

"I see. The Kurama clan is a friend of the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan will definitely help with this matter. The old clan leader does not need to worry. Just reply and refuse."

The two were overjoyed and thanked him immediately. After chatting with Shisui for a while and expressing their loyalty, they said goodbye.

After the two left, Shisui had the gifts sent back. This amount of money was better than nothing for the Uchiha clan, but it was definitely not a small sum for the Kurama clan.

Afterwards, he told Yan Shifan about this matter. Yan Shifan nodded and immediately suggested: "Danzo has nowhere to go. Let's add fuel to the fire and spread this matter out. Let's see how he struggles!"

"Evil Uchiha, damn Kurama, damn Uchiha Shisui!"

At the Root Base, Danzo looked at the Kurama clan's response and his anger was hard to suppress.

Danzo thought that some people would oppose him. After all, outstanding people are always envied, but these difficulties should be easily overcome.

However, there is always a huge gap between reality and his ideas. He is isolated, and with the power he now controls, it seems impossible to solve this problem.

Those big families are fine, but ever since being rejected by Uchiha, Danzo gave up the idea of ​​looking for them and turned his attention to small families like Kurama, Yuhi, Shiranui, Gekko, and Mitarai.

For these families, they would agree if they joined the Anbu, but everyone knew that Danzo was planning to transfer their people to the Root, so of course they were unwilling to do so.

Danzo also thought that they would resist, but it didn’t matter, he could still easily control these people.

But I didn't expect that the Kurama clan would go straight to the Uchiha clan without any reserve at all!
However, this is not the worst. As the story of Kurama and Uchiha spread, other families followed suit. The Yuhi clan found the Sarutobi clan, and because of the relationship between Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, the Sarutobi clan naturally agreed to provide shelter.

Shiranui and the Gekkou clan found Mitomon and Utane respectively, and the two assistants didn't want the Root to expand, so they pulled them directly into the ANBU.

As for the Mitarashi family, no one was willing to help, but Mitarashi Anko's father had died in the battle, and now the only capable ninja in the family was Mitarashi Anko.

It just so happens that Mitarai Anko is Orochimaru's disciple, and she is still in the police department's prison. If Danzo is willing to have a few Genin, the Mitarai family is willing to support him.

Of course Danzo didn't want a few Genin, he was unwilling to give up and turned his attention to other people.

However, those big families started to target the roots together as if they had agreed.

In the past, they were afraid of the Roots, firstly because the Third Generation supported them behind the scenes, and secondly because they did not know the strength of the Roots. Now these two concerns are gone, and of course they have to vent their previous resentment.

Moreover, anyone can see Danzo's current situation. If they follow his path, it will end sooner or later. Who would dare to support him?

Hinata had a different reaction, but even if Hinata agreed, Danzo would not want anyone from Hinata, because those eyes were too dangerous.

"If this is the case, relying on the Jonin Conference to become Hokage is just a fantasy. Damn it, do we really have to go back and look for those evil Uchiha?"

Danzo fell silent, then shook his head, and after thinking for a moment, decided to write a letter to Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru left the Land of Fire, the two still cooperated with each other, and he wanted to ask Orochimaru for help.

However, Orochimaru's reply was: I still need some money for my experiment. As long as the money is in place, I can find some people to help you. But my advice is that you should retire as soon as possible. The teacher will not give you the position of Hokage.

For the sake of money, Orochimaru rarely told the truth, but this sentence made Danzo even more angry.

"Huruzen has already promised me, I can't lose this opportunity, the position of Hokage is right in front of me, only I, only I can lead Konoha back to its former glory, only I can lead Konoha to unify the ninja world!"

Danzo had a sinister expression on his face. He had ordered all the men to be recalled, including those who were sent to the front line of Yu Country to seek an opportunity to seize military power.

Now he can no longer take care of the north. If he doesn't solve the problem at hand, he can only be an assistant in the end. But he is not willing to accept this and he wants to make progress!
Danzo also gradually saw the reality. He missed the opportunity to take the initiative, which led to Utane Koharu and Mitokado En taking control of the Anbu and even winning over the ninja clan. He could not become Hokage by conventional means.

“How can I gain their support?”

Danzo was in deep thought. Up to now he still hadn't thought of killing the two people. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but there was no use in killing them. The Utane and Mitomon families were still there, and rash actions would alert other families instead.

"These people don't want to enter the Root, but if they enter the Anbu, they will be controlled by those two guys. I am short of manpower and financial resources, so it is difficult to fight them. It seems that if the open method doesn't work, I can only use the secret method."

Danzo calmed down and thought a lot more clearly. He should fight with the means he was familiar with, not government affairs!
Thinking of this, Danzo immediately took out the Anbu list and transferred the people of the three families out of Konoha one after another.

They did not dare to refuse the routine mission and just accepted it and left. Danzo secretly sent people from the Root to ambush on the route they had to take.

As planned, the number of casualties in the Anbu skyrocketed in just a few days. Danzo took the opportunity to recruit some civilian middle and senior ninjas into the Anbu. Although he did not have much money, he had no shortage of ninjutsu. He used these as rewards and quickly replenished the Anbu membership.

All parties gradually realized that something was wrong. Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En and the new director of the Sarutobi clan rushed directly to the Hokage Building to question Danzo.

Danzo explained calmly, "Anbu missions are inherently dangerous, and it is normal to have injuries. If you don't want to bear the losses, you can choose to quit Anbu."

"you"

The three were furious, but they had no evidence, and they couldn't take action against the Anbu members like Danzo did.

After all, the ones who died were family ninjas who had been trained at great cost by the family, while Danzo recruited only civilians.

"Danzo, what you are doing is damaging the foundation of Konoha. Stop it as soon as possible. Let's each give in."

Utatane Koharu didn't want to continue to anger Danzo, so they were ready to back down.

"Yes, I want to completely control the Anbu. The Anbu can only play the greatest role in my hands!"

"Danzo, do you really have to persist?"

"I only want Konoha."

"Danzo, you will regret it!"

The quarrel among the top brass was reported to Yan Shifan, who chuckled and said to Shisui, "Send back the Anbu clansmen. Danzo is going to fight hard, but he is doomed to fail with the power he controls.

After he fails, we will tell him about it. Failure and deception will make him realize the reality, and then it will be our turn to take action. "

I spent two hours writing these last few paragraphs, but I feel like I didn’t achieve the results I wanted. Oh, writing a novel is so difficult.
