Her exceptional espionage skills earned her a title that many powerful ninjas did not possess.

This represents the fear that other ninja villages have of her, and it is also a symbol of her achievements.

Although the anime doesn't explicitly state this ace's strength, he is active in other ninja villages, gathering intelligence and then escaping unscathed.

Her strength is at least Jonin level, and that's only because she was trained by a trash organization like Root.

Otherwise, Yakushi Nonou might have been able to reach the Kage level.

Moreover, compared to her espionage skills, her physical strength is insignificant.

With such a natural talent for public security, if she were in charge of Konoha's security, which spy could possibly escape unscathed?

Unfortunately, even such an outstanding Konoha ninja died at the hands of Danzo.

The other four shadows must be laughing in their sleep every day.

With such high-ranking officials, how could Konoha not be destroyed?

Moreover, unlike commoner ninjas like Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Yakushi Nonou has a surname.

This means that there is a small ninja clan behind her.

Whether there are other talented people like her among them is unknown.

You don't need many, just a few, and with the help of the Nara clan, they can support Konoha's internal affairs.

This made Uchiha Seiryu's gaze towards Yakushi Nonou somewhat intense.

Being stared at like that, Nono felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

She is not yet the fearsome walking witch; she is just a child who has just enrolled in school.

Seeing the embarrassment flash across Nono's face, Uchiha Seiryu realized he had been somewhat rude.

But they didn't know each other before, which is hard to explain.

Fortunately, no one else noticed the awkwardness between them, which gave them a sigh of relief.

Just then, Tsuchiki Tomo walked in from outside the door.

Looking at the noisy classroom, he said with a dark face:

"Kids! Still want to run laps? Sit down and be quiet!"

Suddenly, the once lively classroom fell silent, as if it had frozen in time.

The students then quickly returned to their seats.

This eased the dark look on Tsuchiki Tomo's face, and he took out his textbook and said:

"Let's begin class. Today I'll explain the founding of Konoha."

But before he could finish speaking, Jiraiya raised his hand and said:

"But we don't have textbooks!"

Tsuchiki Satoshi froze, then slowly turned his head and asked:

"Didn't I tell you to go and get it?"

Upon seeing this, the students below couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chapter 33: The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the better.

While Uchiha Seiryu was laughing and joking, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just returned to the Hokage Building, was suffering from a terrible headache.

At the Ninja Academy, the sudden inspiration of the Will of Fire greatly inspired him.

He was preparing to come back and organize it for future use as teaching materials at the Ninja Academy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the office, he saw Danzo waiting for him there.

Hiruzen Sarutobi went to great lengths to care for his close friend.

Danzo's political acumen wasn't entirely lacking, but rather utterly devoid of talent.

No one in Konoha, big or small, liked him; in fact, they loathed and hated him.

Danzo's strength wasn't very high either; at his peak, he was only a relatively weak Kage-level.

But he also likes to provoke others everywhere; the title of "King of the Blade" in the ninja world is well-deserved.

If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi's protection and indulgence, Danzo would have committed suicide by swallowing kunai long ago.

At this moment, the Dark Ninja had been waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi for a long time, and his eyes lit up when he saw him walk in.

"Hiruzen, the winds have changed in the village. We can't just wait like this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he skillfully picked up his pipe and began to puff away.

He certainly knew what Danzo was talking about.

Hiruzen Sarutobi still vividly remembered Mito Uzumaki's reminder that day.

I was still hesitating about whether to change my mind and try to reconcile the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village.

But I never expected it would only last three days.

After Mito Uzumaki announced that she had adopted Seiryu Uchiha and revealed Seiryu's battle record.

Konoha underwent tremendous changes.

People don't believe in the Uchiha clan, but they do believe in Mito Uzumaki's abilities.

They believed that Mito Uzumaki could guide Seiryu Uchiha onto the right path.

Having chosen to believe, many people in Konoha have made changes.

The most obvious example is the village's attitude towards the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan, once universally hated, are now highly sought after.

This has led to a surge in the influence of the dove faction within the Uchiha clan, giving them even greater power and influence.

Harmonious coexistence became the theme for both Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's previous policies were still being implemented normally, which created a conflict.

As it turns out, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not have that much prestige.

His policies were ignored.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't dare to openly discuss dealing with the Uchiha, his subordinates simply pretended that the policy didn't exist.

His ability to become Hokage was inseparable from the support of the Senju clan, led by Mito Uzumaki.

However, Mito Uzumaki's current support for others has caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation to decline considerably.

He hasn't been Hokage for very long, and his control over the village is far less than it was during Naruto's time.

Therefore, the events of these three days have had a huge impact on his position as Hokage.

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi also hesitated.

Danzo may not be good at much else, but he has a deep understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitate, he knew that his goal for the day was only half achieved.

“Hiruzen, I know that Uchiha Hoshino can’t move right now. But just because he can’t move doesn’t mean that others can’t.”

"The ninja clans in the village are all opportunists. When you are strong, they will obey you without question, but when you are weak, they will kick you when you are down."

“My Root organization is short-handed. Give me the warrant, and I’ll ask the smaller ninja clans for people to teach them a lesson.”

"This will let others know that you are the Hokage, and it will also increase your power. What do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had expected Danzo to spout some grand theories, but it turned out to be the same old thing. Danzo even wanted to extend his reach to the ninja clan this time.

But Danzo's last words moved him.

That's right, I am the Hokage!

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi made his decision. He took out the Hokage's transfer order and signed his name.

Then it was handed over to Danzo, who was eagerly waiting.

"This is a one-time event, there will be no next time."

Danzo had achieved his goal, but upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, he couldn't help but refute Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen, you are too weak. You need to be disciplined properly to maintain the Hokage's authority."

As soon as he said it, he knew he had gotten too cocky.

As expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was dark, clearly angered by Danzo.

Danzo knew he was in the wrong; how could someone ask for a favor and still act so self-righteous?

(Minglou, kneel down, your elder sister is begging you to do something.)

Fearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi might change his mind, he pretended that nothing had happened and turned to leave.

After Danzo left, Hiruzen Sarutobi's complexion returned to normal.

Having spent so much time together, just as Danzo understood him, he also knew Danzo's personality.

He wasn't angry at all about what Danzo had just said.

But as Danzo said, some people do need to be properly disciplined, like himself who said those words.

So Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a dark expression, pretended to be angry, to let Danzo know that some things shouldn't be said carelessly.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi was aware that Danzo's actions would damage his reputation.

But he really had no other choice.

Ultimately, the only people Hiruzen Sarutobi could be sure were on his side were his Sarutobi clan and Danzo's Shimura clan.

Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio might not necessarily stand on his side.

In the present day, when Mito Uzumaki is still alive, and the Senju and Uzumaki clans have not disappeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi faces numerous restrictions in the village, so he now wants to demonstrate the prestige of the Hokage and increase his own influence.

Since the goal is to demonstrate prestige, using ninja clans from other factions as a scapegoat is a good approach.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were actually a replica of the White Fang incident.
