Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

"Hokage-sama, the number of Root places is very limited. It is a bit strange that Danzo recruited so many people all of a sudden. I wonder what he wants to do?"

In the end, no one directly said that Danzo had the intention of rebellion, but the meaning was quite obvious.

Danzo's eyes widened and he subconsciously looked at Shisui, who frowned as if he had heard it.

"Everything I do is for Konoha. The Daimyo has begun to target Konoha, and the nobles have also begun to train ninjas. My Root needs to eliminate these forces that threaten Konoha. If we don't have enough manpower, how can we protect Konoha?

Besides, I am currently recruiting Chunins, so I can't keep the number of vacancies the same as before, right?

If this is the case, please help me fill the manpower!"

Shisui hissed softly and nodded as well, appearing to approve of Danzo.

"What Advisor Danzo said makes sense. The Third Hokage also said that the power of the Root is indispensable. How about this, if you are willing to help the Root to complete its manpower, then I will let all the people recruited by Advisor Danzo go back."

this.
What a joke, they finally no longer have to be threatened by Danzo, who would be willing to help him fill the fire pit at the Root?
Moreover, what Danzo wanted were either jonin or gifted geniuses from various races. Who would be willing to let the Root suck their blood like this?

Seeing everyone silent, Danzo puffed out his chest and smiled, then continued: "Why? Are you unwilling to sacrifice yourself for Konoha?"

No one responded, which made Danzo even more proud. He said bluntly: "Hokage, I teach ninjutsu and recruit members for the future of Konoha. Only when the Root is strong can we eliminate the danger outside the village in the bud. I hope the Hokage can expand the organization of the Root and allocate some additional funds."

Shisui raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Danzo, but before he could say anything he was interrupted by a series of exhortations.

"No, Hokage. The Root is only a part of the Anbu. If there is anything to be done, just let the Anbu do it. If the Anbu is short of manpower, it can be expanded. There is no need to rely on the Root!"

Finally someone realized that the Root was, after all, just a part of the Dark, and there was no reason to expand the Root beyond the Dark.

damn it!
Danzo took a closer look at the man, memorizing his appearance and name.

"Hokage, no matter what, improving Konoha's strength is the top priority. I didn't force them, and I didn't do anything harmful to Konoha, but they have been blocking Konoha's improvement. In my opinion, there may be spies from the enemy country among these people. Let me handle this matter!"

"Danzo, stop spitting blood at me!"

Seeing that Danzo still wanted to attack them, everyone no longer tolerated it and the two sides started fighting each other in front of Shisui.

Shisui pursed his lips, then slowly sat down and watched the two sides quarreling. It felt extremely strange.

At this moment in the office, except for a few Chunins in the corners, none of the ninjas standing there supported Danzo.

This kind of unity made Shisui's eyes change slightly.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Danzo's breathing became a little rapid. He had no chance of winning an argument with so many people alone.

"Humph, I am too lazy to argue with you. It has been proven that the coercion was a frame-up. I just hope that the Hokage can handle it impartially. As for the rest, everything I did was for Konoha. Why should I explain to you!"

Danzo knew that he could not argue with them because he had too much dirt on him and they could not withstand investigation. Fortunately, the Anbu and the Police Department were under Shisui's control, and Shisui seemed to trust him because of the Third Hokage.

In that case, there's no need for him to waste time on nonsense with these people. He can just take action directly.

"Lord Hokage!"

"All right."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shisui spoke and stopped everyone.

"I've already understood this matter. The Root did not force ninjas to join. However, it is not right for the Root to expand without my permission. So, allow the Root to expand an additional Chunin battalion. As for the frame-up, I will never tolerate it!"

"The money"

Think beautiful!
Shisui ignored Danzo and just waved his hand to let everyone leave. As for the spread of ninjutsu, since they did not mention it, Shisui naturally pretended that it had not happened and let them fight over the rest.

Both sides left the Hokage Building with their own thoughts.

"Humph, there are a lot of spies in the village recently. I have encountered quite a few of them. You should be careful!"

Danzo was disgusted by these people, and when he saw the Root members arrived, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say something.

Everyone just looked on coldly without saying a word. Although they wanted to kill Danzo, the one who spoke first would inevitably be hated, which was not conducive to taking action in secret.

Both parties left in such an atmosphere.

Shisui ordered the Anbu to step up surveillance and the police department to increase patrols.

Danzo was a little angry when he returned to the Root base, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to take action without the support of the Hokage, so he called Owl and asked: "Although the Hokage agrees to expand the Root, the establishment of a battalion is not enough. Those guys will definitely keep an eye on us. I am afraid we can't expand on a large scale."

If we cannot form an advantage in numbers, it will be meaningless to recruit these Chunins.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao said, "Master Danzo, as long as we keep it a secret and develop the Root members like spies, it will be difficult for those people to know the situation of the Root."

Danzo shook his head and said, "Too slow. Now that those guys have started, they won't give me too much time to prepare."

Even though he talked to those people for a long time, he was actually very clear that his life was completely in Shisui's hands. As long as Shisui had ideas about him, he could make him spend the rest of his life in the police department, or even go to accompany Koharu Utane in advance.

This feeling made him a little scared.

"This"

Xiao also reacted. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't have any other solution for now. Please let me go back and think about it."

".Go ahead."

Danzo had a gloomy face. He didn't expect that Owl had no solution at all. He immediately lost hope, but he didn't make things difficult for the other party. After Owl left, he was once again conflicted.

"It seems that we still have to cooperate with that guy."

However, he received good news from Xiao the next day, even though he had no hope.

"Danzo-sama, I have an idea. The strength of the Chunin is insufficient and the Root missions are relatively difficult, so losses are inevitable. As long as the mission frequency is high enough, the number of losses should also increase. The only way to replenish manpower is to continue recruiting. Even the Hokage should have no objection."

"You mean fake death?"

"Exactly!"

Danzo's eyes lit up, faking death was perfect for the Root.

Joining the Root means abandoning the past, and from then on there will be no trace of such people in Konoha, and their death and return will not disturb anyone.

"Hahaha, very good, you are very good, let's do it!"

Danzo chuckled, very satisfied with this method.

"It just so happens that I have some tasks here, so you will lead the team this time."

"Yes, I don't know what the mission is. I will prepare it right away."

"The Land of Rain!"

Yuyin Village.

Heavy rains cover the land as usual throughout the year.

On a tall building wrapped with metal pipes, Xiaonan, wearing a black robe with red clouds, stood in the rain. Below, at the entrance of the Hidden Rain Village, a group of carts loaded with food were being pushed laboriously by a group of big men in white raincoats.

Ninjas kept coming in and out from both sides. They ignored the convoy and moved quickly as if they were carrying out some mission. All of this was seen by the owner of the convoy.

High up, Xiaonan raised her head and let the rain slide down her clean cheeks. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"The war is about to begin again. When will this land be able to calm down and grow such beautiful flowers and fruits?"

No one knew her thoughts. The only thing that responded to her from this land was the cold rain, not the gorgeous rainbow.

In early February of the 52nd year of Konoha, Danzo sent members of the Root to the Rain Country to carry out a mission. They were suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy and the team suffered heavy losses.

In the middle of the month, spies outside the Hidden Rain Village sent intelligence that the Hidden Rain Village ninjas began to operate on a large scale in the country.

In the second half of the month, traces of espionage activities were discovered in the village, and the Anbu, Police Department, and Root Department were searching for them with all their might.

In early March, three Shinobi were kidnapped and killed by spies on their way back to their clan's land, one of whom was the one who had questioned the purpose of the Root's expansion at the Hokage Building that day.

The atmosphere in the village changed.

On March 3rd, Danzo had people put up an advertisement in front of the Ninja School, openly mentioning the spread of ninjutsu, promoting the Root, and exaggerating the achievements.

On the 5th, the Root suffered heavy losses again while carrying out a mission in the Rain Country, and continued to replenish manpower.

After that, I supplemented it almost once a week, becoming more and more unrestrained.

In late March, a war broke out in the dense forest northwest of Konoha, resulting in more than ten ninjas being killed or injured. Fortunately, the Anbu arrived in time and rescued Advisor Danzo and several village ninjas who were unfortunately affected.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo has sent another person to report casualties. This time it is still a mission from the Rain Country."

In the Hokage's office, Nara Suzaku brought the documents to Shisui as usual.

Shisui frowned and asked subconsciously: "Didn't you ask him to give up the mission in the Hidden Rain Village? Why is he still using this excuse?"

Using the same excuse too many times is bound to cause problems. Even Shisui can't stand it anymore and has to ask Danzo to change it.

Shisui said as he took the information, his face changing when he saw the masked ninja mentioned.

"Wait, this isn't really a loss, is it?"

He knew that the so-called losses were just an excuse for Danzo to secretly raise troops, but the appearance of the masked ninja made him feel a little strange.

At this point, Shisui suddenly remembered that Yan Shifan once said that Kakuzu had appeared in the Hidden Rain Village, so Obito should also be in the Hidden Rain Village.

"This is a mission for the Land of Rain, and has nothing to do with the Hidden Rain Village."

Nara Suzaku opened his mouth to explain, but Shisui interrupted him hastily, "Tell Danzo that all missions related to the Rain Country are suspended, and the losses caused by the Rain Country will not be compensated!"

"?"

Shisui's uncharacteristic behavior made Nara Suzaku stunned, and it took him a moment to react, "Yes!"

"Also, please reveal my response."

The Hokage's attitude towards Danzo is crucial, and Shisui's support on several occasions has caused the ninja clans to feel quite strenuous.

This time, Obito might be involved. Shisui intends to warn Danzo not to let him unconsciously influence the ninjas he sends.

"Yes."

Nara Suzaku acted quickly, and the ninja clan knew on the same day that Shisui had rejected Danzo's application for replenishment.

Before Danzo could react, a raging fire broke out in the Shimura clan's territory that night!

Because there were few people in the Shimura clan's territory and Danzo had been in the Root base for a long time, the fire was missed in the best time to be extinguished. By the time the Police Department and the Anbu reported to Shisui, a large area of ​​the Shimura clan's territory had already been burned.

Especially Danzo's residence, which was reduced to ashes!
"These guys!"

In his own study, after dealing with the fire, Shisui returned home and complained to Sima Yi.

He also didn't expect these guys to be so unscrupulous that the fight had reached such an extent that it had affected the surrounding villagers.

"It seems that Danzo really can't let down his guard at all."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Danzo is a lone minister. Not only should you not suppress Danzo, you should also give him more support."

Shisui blushed, and judging by the results, he knew he had made a mistake.

"It really is because of Obito that I am confused."

"Obito is indeed a trouble, but since he is related to the Hidden Rain Village, we can find a way to force the Hidden Rain Village. It would be best if we can make him show up.

Unfortunately, you have too many things to do now, and Konoha's strength is too dispersed, so it's not the right time yet."

"Grandpa is right. I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

After Shisui finished speaking, he turned and left. He was going to find a way to strengthen Danzo.

The next day, Danzo, who had been staying at the Root Base, showed up with his men for a rare occasion.

He was also shocked by the cruelty of these people. They actually sent people to attack the clan’s territory. Are they trying to wipe out his Shimura clan?

Danzo was so angry that he was shaking all over. If he didn't want to expose his strength, he would have sent people to destroy these families.

And his appearance also attracted everyone's attention.

Thanks to Owl's guidance, although Danzo was at a disadvantage again, he was not panicked at all.

They directly ordered people to put up a sign on the Shimura clan land, which read: "Revitalize Shimura, revive the family."

Afterwards, they sent people to spread the word in Konoha that the Shimura clan would accept ninjas who were willing to join the Shimura. Anyone who joined the Shimura clan and changed their surname would receive ninjutsu and monetary rewards, and those who made contributions to the family would have the opportunity to receive personal instruction and practice from Danzo Shimura!
Ninjutsu, money, and guidance from famous teachers! In addition, Danzo's recent efforts to spread ninjutsu have made his prestige among the common people increasingly high.

As for the surname Yi?

How can common people get a surname? It is an honor to get a Shimura for free!

In this way, with multiple approaches taken simultaneously, all the ninjas who had ever received Danzo's ninjutsu were excited.

But the ninjas were furious. This was not a family revival, it was clearly recruiting soldiers! This was a declaration of war against them!
"Hokage-sama, if you don't stop Danzo, Konoha will be in real danger of destruction!"

Without waiting for Shisui to summon them, these people gathered together and begged Shisui to intervene with sad faces.

In response, the Uchiha, Hyuga, Kurama and other families with blood heritage had no reaction.

With the Hyuga ninja joining the Anbu, the Blood Clan in the village has completely turned to Shisui, and Shisui's will is their will.

Those who gathered together to cry and complain obviously did not realize that the ninjas in the village had already split into three classes.

"What Advisor Danzo did did not violate the laws of Konoha. All his actions were reasonable and legal. What reason do I have to stop him?" (End of this chapter)
