Therefore, the person Mito Uzumaki hoped would break the deadlock was actually herself.

Seeing Mito Uzumaki deep in thought, Seiryu Uchiha tugged at her sleeve.

When Mito Uzumaki came to her senses and looked at him, she said:

"Grandma Mito, why can't you become Hokage?"

This single sentence, like a gentle nudge, made Mito Uzumaki understand the crux of the matter.

Yes, why can't she be Hokage?

She didn't compete for the position of Third Hokage initially to avoid suspicion.

Otherwise, if the first, second, and third generations are all Senju, it wouldn't sound good to others, making people think that Konoha has already been taken over by the Senju.

Secondly, it was to respect Tobirama Senju's last wishes.

Thirdly, Mito Uzumaki herself didn't want to become Hokage; she had no such intention.

But things are different now, for the sake of the village's stability.

Whether it's to end the war as quickly as possible, she is an excellent candidate.

Even if Mito Uzumaki herself doesn't want to be Hokage, this responsibility will change her.

Thinking of this, Mito Uzumaki smiled again and patted Seiryu Uchiha's head.

“Xingliu is right, but we haven’t reached that point yet. Let’s give the Third Hokage some trust; maybe he’ll choose the right path?”

Uchiha Seiryu didn't believe this at all.

The list details the evil deeds Danzo committed afterward: spreading rumors to frame White Fang, secretly conducting human experiments, kidnapping children from an orphanage, conspiring with Obito and Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan, and even attempting to assassinate the Hokage.

Even though things were already like this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to forgive him and even allowed his roots to grow stronger time and time again.

In the end, he became too powerful to control; even after Danzo died, his henchmen could still cause trouble.

Therefore, Uchiha Seiryu believed that this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi would inevitably walk down a path of no return.

Looking at the disbelieving Uchiha Seiryu, Mito Uzumaki said irritably:

"Alright, the arrangements are basically in place now. Is the witness you mentioned safe?"

Uchiha Seiryu slapped his forehead, secretly reflecting on his carelessness.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know who this witness was; Danzo had gone to find him himself, so how could he not know?

He then quickly looked up and checked the sky.

They acted quickly; the ninja academy should still be in session, so Nono is safe for now.

But given Danzo's erratic nature, he would definitely make a move on the way home from school.

Therefore, just like Uchiha Subaru before, Uchiha Seiryu had already walked away as soon as the farewell was spoken.

Mito Uzumaki chuckled as she watched, but then she left as well.

She needs to prepare for the worst and take precautions.

.....

Uchiha Seiryu rushed to the Ninja Academy, where they were in class.

He had just reached the classroom door when he heard Tu Qizhi's roar.

"He dared to ask for leave on his second day of school. Next time he comes, I'll make him run a hundred laps, and that still won't be enough!"

Uchiha Seiryu gave a wry smile, but he still stood at the door and knocked.

"Shh!"

The door opened instantly, and Tsuchiki Tomo's ferocious face became even more terrifying upon seeing Uchiha Seiryu.

He chuckled softly and said in a somber tone:

"Uchiha Seiryu, you're really something, kid. You dared to ask for a day off on the second day?!"

Uchiha Seiryu didn't care about Tsuchiki Satoshi's threatening tone; he wasn't the important person at the moment.

He looked into the classroom and saw Nono sitting there listlessly.

This relieved Uchiha Seiryu, even though Danzo didn't dare to attack the Ninja Academy.

But what if he goes crazy and actually does it?

These teachers alone cannot stop Gen's assassination attempt.

“Chunin Tsuchikichi, there is something important that I need to see Lady Mito with Nonou. Please allow us to pass.”

Uchiha Seiryu's formal tone caused Tsuchiki Satoshi's expression to change instantly.

As a ninja who had been on the battlefield, he understood.

If Uchiha Seiryu wasn't joking at this moment, then something truly very important had happened.

He stepped aside, then said in a deep voice:

"Do you need me to protect you?"

Uchiha Seiryu shook his head, waved to Nono and Tsunade, then turned to Tsuchiki Satoshi and said:

"You're not capable of helping. Something important has happened today, so give them a day off."

"You need to arrange for teachers to take all the students home, and for each one, a teacher must accompany them, understand?"

Tsuchiki Tomo puffed out his chest and said loudly:

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Tsunade, along with Nono, came to Uchiha Seiryu's side.

"You are in danger now. I'm going to take both of you away. Don't resist."

With that, he picked up Tsunade and gestured for Nono to climb onto his back.

Tsunade gasped in surprise when she was picked up, but quickly regained her composure.

Nono hesitated, but seeing the Uchiha Seiryu's formation and what had happened to her, she hesitated.

Make her understand that what Uchiha Seiryu said was not an exaggeration at all; she is in real danger right now.

Without much hesitation, Nonoyu blushed and climbed onto Uchiha Seiryu's back.

Uchiha Seiryu, on the other hand, didn't feel anything.

Two little brats, they have nothing, what's so great about them? He even complains that they're uncomfortable.

Once the two were ready, he whispered to them to hold on tight, then leaped away.

After they left, Tu Qizhi began to arrange for the teachers to lead the students home in an orderly manner.

Chapter 49 Root Ninja A went up, Root Ninja could not rise again

As soon as Uchiha Seiryu left the Ninja Academy, he sensed that a small squad of ninjas had followed him.

He frowned, genuinely surprised that Danzo had acted so quickly.

This indicates that the worst has happened, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's time as Hokage has come to an end.

Uchiha Seiryu continued on his way without making a sound, but secretly prepared for battle.

Just as he was passing through a relatively remote section of the road.

The scene in front of me suddenly blurred for a moment, and then instantly returned to normal.

A muffled groan came from not far away from him.

Uchiha Seiryu stared intently and saw a masked person supporting a person who was unsteady on their feet.

At that moment, he heard a commotion behind him; someone had blocked his escape route.

Using genjutsu to deal with the Uchiha Seiryu was, to be honest, a miscalculation on Root's part.

Although he had not yet learned the Magic Mirror Reversal Technique, which is specifically designed to deflect illusions.

However, the basic abilities of the kaleidoscope are enough to deflect most illusions.

Just as he was pondering, the Root Ninja who had been hit by the rebounded genjutsu recovered with the help of his companions.

Meanwhile, the two Root ninja who had blocked their retreat also emerged, completing the encirclement of Uchiha Seiryu and his group.

Uchiha Seiryu chuckled softly, then spoke gently to Tsunade and Nono:

"Close your eyes, it will be over soon."

The attack came as soon as he finished speaking.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! x2"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough! ×2"

Although it's difficult to cultivate Kage-level individuals at the Root level, their level of teamwork is still quite good.

At this moment, they formed a team of two, one releasing Fire Release and the other releasing Wind Release.

Although it hasn't reached the level of combined ninjutsu, the combined power is quite formidable.

Their attack struck Uchiha Seiryu's location in the blink of an eye.

A loud explosion followed, and smoke billowed into the air.

Before the Root could even confirm the outcome, in the next instant, a skeletal arm swung a knife at them.

Three of them had their pupils shrink, and without a single scream, they were swept away by Susanoo and disappeared from sight.

The remaining person reacted quickly, dodging the attack in a flash as soon as they sensed something was wrong.

He stood not far away, watching Susanoo slowly emerge from the smoke, cold sweat pouring down his face.

Although Root's brainwashing made him fearless, humans still tremble involuntarily when faced with overwhelming power.

Having narrowly escaped death, Gen suppressed his inner resistance and prepared to continue his attack.

But a very bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

Suddenly, the area around him heated up, and then small white flames appeared.

He reached out his hand to form hand seals and release a ninjutsu, but it was too late.
