Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Leaf.

Hokage Building.

After Danzo Shimura rushed back to the village overnight, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Sakumo Hatake, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade…

"Report the situation, my assistant." Hiruzen Sarutobi, seated at the head of the round table, spoke with a serious expression.

Danzo Shimura nodded and explained the situation to everyone:

"Based on dozens of days of infiltration and the intelligence gathered by the team from various sources, we can now confirm that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, Burubi, is in an extremely unstable state, just as the Hokage predicted."

"The villagers of Kumogakure have mentioned the Eight-Tails' rampage more than once. Inside the tavern, an insider secretly mentioned that this is the third time the Jinchuriki has been replaced in a short period of time."

"Burubi is the nephew of the Third Raikage. His father and uncle were both previous Jinchuriki who went berserk and died."

"Our spies also witnessed Brubi unintentionally leaking Tailed Beast chakra, causing a small-scale panic within the Hidden Cloud Village."

Koharu Utatane asked, "How can you be sure that the so-called insider's information is accurate? Is it possible that it was just drunken talk, an expression of dissatisfaction with Kumogakure?"

"We've already killed him and extracted the information from his brain," Shimura Danzo sneered. "He was from the Cloud Village Sealing Squad."

"This person's memories also indicate that the sealing techniques of Kumogakure are not powerful, and the sealing technique used by the Jinchuriki is called the 'Ironclad Sealing Technique,' which the Third Raikage has mentioned many times hoping to improve."

"Burubi is also taking medication to calm her nerves and prevent her from going berserk during her routine inspections of the seals."

This cold snort showed his dissatisfaction with Koharu's questioning of the dormitory.

He's a professional at infiltration and assassination! How could he not verify the source of the intelligence?

But Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, didn't care and just nodded in agreement.

This is her duty.

The role of an advisor is to help the Hokage determine and finalize every uncertain possibility, even if the questions raised may seem like nitpicking.

"In conclusion, the chances of successfully leading the team to raid Brubi are very high. Under the Hokage's orders, we will return to the village for further reporting."

Danzo Shimura added this sentence and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His feelings were complicated.

First, Hiruzen's reaction was very quick. By analyzing the reason for kidnapping Kushina Uzumaki and using the friction data between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, he deduced the state of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

This was something he hadn't expected at the time.

Secondly, he felt that Hiruzen was still not decisive enough, even though he could have taken the credit himself...

I also had to go back to the village to report, which affected the timeliness.

With all these conflicting feelings, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but make a small sarcastic remark.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm, a smile playing on his lips.

If Shimura Danzo became docile after being manipulated by him a few times, he would feel something was amiss...

After so many years of ups and downs, it's not something that can make him accept things just from one or two incidents.

"The intelligence and the village analysis are basically consistent, and Danzo's further confirmation is quite detailed." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't rush to respond to Shimura Danzo, but instead praised him.

"Haru, you said that Kushina and Minato, those two brats, have extraordinary skills in sealing techniques?"

Koharu Utatane replied, "Yes, ordinary Jonin can hardly reach their level of skill, perhaps it's related to the Uzumaki family tradition."

After visiting the mission, Koharu went home and pondered for a while the technique that Minato and Kushina were researching, but found that she still had no clue.

Therefore, when reporting to Hiruzen Sarutobi, I emphasized this aspect.

"Anbu, summon them here."

"Hiruzen, those are two brats!" Danzo Shimura questioned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured for him to be quiet with his eyes and summarized, "We need to grasp three main principles regarding our revenge plan against Kumogakure this time."

"First, it's to retaliate in kind and strengthen the village's cohesion."

"Second, we must pay attention to secrecy. Leaving evidence for the enemy will put us at a disadvantage in public opinion, which may lead to a series of events and trigger a war."

Third, when the situation is favorable, we must find ways to expand our gains.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "This Brubi is a relative of the Third Raikage, so we can't just think about assassinating him. We need to find a way to get his body for research."

"The information in his mind, once broken down, will be valuable."

"If we're going to take action, we need to achieve a complex outcome in a single battle. This isn't a close-quarters raid like in wartime."

Shimura was speechless.

He wasn't mentioned at all, but every word he uttered was a response...

Orochimaru shook his head and chuckled. What was Shimura Danzo thinking?

Is he arguing with his current teacher? He doesn't think he can win an argument, does he...?

"Teacher, if we are to bring his body back, then the Jinchuriki state when the Eight-Tails was unsealed must be in a controllable state that we can completely control."

"First, the Iron Armor Seal must be completely dismantled; it cannot be forcibly dismantled, as this would cause the Eight-Tails to immediately go berserk."

"Secondly, it's best to put the Jinchuriki into a state of illusion or poisoning, which greatly helps with concealment."

Orochimaru analyzed:

"If he's taking medication, then I can assassinate and replace the doctor who prescribed it, but I don't have a suitable drug on hand, so I'm unsure when to develop it..."

"How poisonous is the salamander?" Tsunade asked. "During the Second Shinobi World War, the village collected some in order to develop an antidote."

"Based on this, I can enhance its paralyzing effect and do it within a day."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Very good!"

Orochimaru agreed, saying, "If it's the poison of the salamander combined with your modifications, there's no problem."

"As for genjutsu, if the Jinchuriki is in this state, my genjutsu will work..." Orochimaru pondered, "What do you think, Sensei?"

"The best genjutsu to deal with tailed beasts is naturally the Uchiha clan's, but their Sharingan is too obvious..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, "Please summon the Kurama clan's Genshin!"

The Kurama clan was an important ninja clan during the early establishment of Konohagakure.

His unique bloodline limit can enhance his genjutsu abilities, and he was once as famous as the Uchiha clan in the field of genjutsu.

Deprived of the five senses and nervous control, it is also rumored to possess the terrifying ability to "manifest reality"...

Kurama Genjin is the current patriarch of the Kurama clan.

Jiraiya raised his hand and said:

"Teacher, I can help with infiltration and retreat! The Toad Concealment Technique can evacuate multiple people!"

"Let me go too! I want to do something for Kushina..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "Alright..."

"Orochimaru, how's the medicine going? I've given you even more responsibility, are you tired?" Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe and asked.

"Regarding the pills, all that's left is packaging and minor adjustments; I don't need to worry about that too much for now." Orochimaru smiled. "How could I be tired working for the village?"

"After all, not only the teacher, but also the Hokage's assistants are charging ahead..."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes.

The situation is different now...

He and Orochimaru were rivals to the Fourth Hokage, not partners as before!

Danzo Shimura's original plan was to have Orochimaru become the fourth Hokage, and then have the next generation pass it on to him...

But now that I'm qualified to go directly to the fourth generation, who would want to choose such an uncertain method?

No wonder this kid is so enthusiastic!

Developing pills and participating in assassinations...

Go ahead and roll, roll! I, Shimura Danzo, have toiled countless times in my life, yet I can't even outmaneuver a junior like you?

At this moment, the Anbu also brought Kurama Genma, Namikaze Minato, and Kushina.

"Lord Hokage!" the three greeted in unison.
