"Of course I've thought it through."

The Third Hokage smiled, took off his divine robe and handed it to Genma Shiranui, saying, "I'll leave these things in your safekeeping for now, Genma."

Genma Shiranui took it blankly, somewhat at a loss.

He never expected that the Third Hokage would entrust him with the safekeeping of the God Robe and the Hokage Hat.

This arrangement ensures that whoever becomes Hokage in the future will receive a share of the family's legacy as a remnant of the Fourth Hokage's faction.

Their faction will also be reinstated.

"What a brilliant move, Third Hokage!" Genma Shiranui thought to himself.

Even though he knew this was a trick by the Third Hokage to give him a treat, Genma Shiranui still felt that most of the resentment he felt when he was forced into the Uchiha clan's territory had dissipated.

Not only Genma Shiranui.

Seeing this, the malice and anger in Shinobu's eyes almost disappeared.

As the saying goes, debts are settled when the person leaves.

The Third Hokage abdicated, and did so immediately, in exchange for protecting Danzo.

This deal is not impossible.

"Young man, you still lack some experience." The Third Hokage thought to himself with a smug smile as he looked at Junichi.

"Didn't expect I had this trick up my sleeve, did you?"

"Heh, you're only fifteen, yet you've pushed me to this point. That's terrifying enough. Fortunately, I was better prepared and thought things through more deeply."

While pondering.

A chill flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes.

Junichi Uchiha is only fifteen years old. What kind of terrifying person will he grow into?

but……

The coldness in the Third Hokage's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a faint smile.

He will not give Junichi Uchiha a chance to grow in the future.

Although he has stepped down from the position of Hokage, he will still be an elder, intervening in village affairs under the guise of assisting the Hokage.

However, the power will be greatly reduced.

But if it's for Danzo, it's worth it.

At that time, the four elders, together assisting their disciples—Tsunade or Jiraiya—will be able to dominate Konoha.

"You can't flip the table now, can you, Junichi Uchiha?" The Third Hokage caught a glimpse of Might Guy's complex expression out of the corner of his eye.

With Might Guy around, even if Junichi Uchiha turns against him, he will be safe and sound.

The above reflections.

It all happened in an instant.

On the surface.

The Third Hokage paused for a moment, then looked at Junichi with a smile, waiting for his reply.

"..."

silence.

All the Uchiha, including Fugaku, fell silent, their brows furrowed as if they were forcibly suppressing some kind of emotion.

Junichi, on the other hand, stared blankly at the Third Hokage.

"Are you satisfied with this plan, Junichi?" the Third Hokage asked with a light laugh.

Junichi remained silent, gazing at the Third Hokage for a long time.

The atmosphere was slightly solemn.

The surrounding Jonin couldn't help but tense up.

one second.

three seconds.

ten seconds.

Just when everyone was speculating whether Junichi Uchiha was about to turn against them.

"Ha ha……"

Junichi suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "This plan couldn't be better. I agree."

The ninja on the field was stunned.

So decisive?

"You, you agree?" The Third Hokage was taken aback. Looking at Junichi's smile, he suddenly felt uneasy.

It felt like I had overlooked something.

Danzo and the other two also looked at Junichi in surprise.

That was a very quick and easy agreement!

"Out of respect for Hiruzen Sarutobi, I, the Uchiha, agree to hand over the contents of this Root base to the future Fifth Hokage for disposal," Junichi said with a smile.

rear.

The Uchiha clan members, including Fugaku, wore strange smiles.

This smile made the Third Hokage even more uneasy.

He even felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling he hadn't had in a long time, as if he had stepped into a deadly trap.

"Now, let's talk about something else." Junichi smiled and waved his hand, calling out a name: "Fugaku."

"Yes."

Fugaku walked out slowly.

Amidst the questioning gazes of the Jonin, Fugaku's eyes hardened as he stared intently at Danzo's right hand, demanding, "Elder Danzo, you transplanted Wood Release cells into your right arm, didn't you?"

boom!

These words caused a great stir.

All the Jonin present showed expressions of shock and looked at Danzo in disbelief.

"Danzo, you!?"

The Third Hokage also looked horrified, staring at Danzo in astonishment.

"What Fugaku said, could it really be true?" Koharu Utatane was equally shocked.

"Yes, Danzo, you wouldn't do such a thing, would you?" Mitokado Homura asked in horror.

Wood Release is the signature power of the First Hokage.

The First Hokage, with his unparalleled power, quelled the chaos of the Warring States period and established the Hidden Village system.

Countless families and ninjas have benefited from this to this day and are filled with gratitude.

This gratitude, brewed by time, has transformed into a pure longing and reverence!

Almost every ninja grew up listening to stories of the First Hokage.

They held the First Hokage in the highest esteem.

He regarded the First Hokage's iconic "Wood Release" as something supremely sacred, which no one was allowed to offend or desecrate.

Just like the Mangekyou Sharingan, it holds a special place in the hearts of the Uchiha clan.

and so.

Everyone was incredulous upon hearing Fugaku's words.

Danzo was a disciple of the Second Hokage, who was the younger brother of the First Hokage!

With this kind of relationship, how dare you desecrate the power of the First Generation?

"H-How could this be!" Danzo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retorted, "How could I possibly offend the First Hokage?"

"This is pure slander!"

"I won't do that!"

He tried his best to explain.

However, cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, his voice was trembling, and his eyes were filled with guilt and uncertainty.

They're all pointing to the same thing.

Danzo did it!

"Danzo, you..." The Third Hokage stared at Danzo in disbelief.

Although he knew that Danzo was secretly researching Wood Release, he never expected that Danzo would be so crazy as to have Wood Release cells transplanted into himself.

That's a transplant surgery with an extremely high mortality rate!

"Are you crazy, Danzo?" Koharu Utatane blurted out.

Although Fugaku was questioning him just now, his tone was extremely firm.

To the point that she began to have doubts.

Unexpectedly, before Fugaku could produce any evidence, Danzo acted as if his secret had been leaked and confessed without being asked!

"Danzo, tell us you didn't do that!" Mitokado Homura stared at Danzo sternly.

"I...I didn't!"

Danzo, sweating profusely, responded hastily.

but.

It's hard to believe him looking like this.

All the Jonin looked at him with disgust, as if he were a monster.

puff-

On the Uchiha side, several members of the clan with three tomoe couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Danzo's disgraceful behavior pleased them greatly.

"Shut up!"

Danzo was like a powder keg ready to explode. Hearing the laughter, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, screaming and glaring at the Uchiha.

Especially Fugaku.

Danzo glared at Fugaku, his face almost contorted with rage: "Fugaku, do you have any evidence?!"

"Yes, Fugaku, you can't accuse an elder without any evidence," the Third Hokage said, speaking up for Danzo.

We can't not help at this time.

He sacrificed the Hokage position to protect Danzo, incurring huge sunk costs, and it was impossible for him to give up at this point.

and.

If Danzo is confirmed to have transplanted Wood Release cells, such a huge scandal will also affect his subsequent plans.
