Ignite the fire from the pirates

"But this is different from what the Root does, Third Generation Master..."

As soon as the words fell, the three people in the office stood together, opposing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, this situation made the already elderly ninja even more dissatisfied.

The change of power, as well as the differences in systems and choices, made him feel that he had handed the edge of power into the hands of his opponents.

"zero one."

The same loud shout.

The direct ANBU under the Third Generation appeared in the office.

Although he was wearing a mask and addressing by a code name, Minato knew who the other person was.

The eldest son of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the future heir of the Sarutobi clan.

"Notify the two advisors to come to the Hokage building."

After the words fell, Lingyi said in a deep voice: "Understood."

The Anbu directly under the new and old Hokage left one after another, but the two were still confronting each other.

Neither side backed down.

This situation made even Minato Namikaze very angry.

This involves not only concerns about power struggles, but also emotional aspects and the inability to accept the three moral values ​​after ideological awakening.

People shouldn't be like this, and ninjas shouldn't be just emotionless tools.

Uchiha Yan's face flashed through his mind, along with the bodies of the dead in the attack and the four companions who died in the operation.

Thinking of this, Minato closed his eyes, turned around and sat behind the desk, the position that represented the shadow.

At this moment, this person represents not only power, but also responsibility.

……

After the Fourth Hokage took over, the secrets of the Root were no longer a secret to the Hokage.

What's more, when the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze took over, he was backed by not only the civilian ninja line, but also the Hyuga and Uchiha.

Shisui, as the captain of the Anbu directly under the Fourth Hokage, knew the location of the Root of Konoha's Darkness.

Together with Obito and several ANBU teams, as well as the barrier squad, they isolated the entire Root in the first place.

In the dark underground, on the bridge inside, Uchiha Shisui looked at Danzo opposite him.

"Hokage-sama orders that Danzo-sama proceed to the Hokage building."

Hearing this, Danzo raised his head slightly.

"The Root is under independent jurisdiction, and the Hokage you are talking about is it Sarutobi Hiruzen? Or Namikaze Minato?"

Obito stepped forward and crossed the bridge step by step: "If you don't want to stand, I can only carry you across."

Danzo's eyes narrowed: "Arrogant!"

As soon as the words fell, wisps of black matter swarmed in.

That's a bug from the Aburame clan.

However, facing such intensive attacks, Obito did not dodge at all and let all the bugs pass through his body.

At the same time, the Mangekyō Sharingan emerged from under the mask.

He reached out and grabbed Danzo.

"Shh!"

A kunai flew by, and a figure's eyes met Obito's.

However, the Yamanaka clan's secret Yin Dun technique is nothing compared to the Mangekyō and Observation Haki.

"puff!"

The invasion failed and Shan Zhongfeng spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, Obito grabbed Danzo again.

"Evil Uchiha...get away!"

One after another, spells emerged, and Danzo, who had already formed seals, suddenly exploded.

The technique made Obito's body freeze, but his observation Haki still allowed him to avoid the wind blade shot out by the opponent.

"Danzo-sama...seems to be very familiar with my abilities."

At this time, a large number of Root ninjas had also completed their hand seals and were about to attack Obito when Danzo raised his hand.

For a moment, all the Root ninjas stopped.

"It's a pity that it's a little off."

Danzo lowered his head, then walked out: "I am an advisor, and the Root is also the secret place of the village. You... must be sensible."

Proportionate?

Shisui said nothing, but after bringing him out, he signaled to Obito with his eyes.

The Hokage ordered the barrier team to seal off the Root.

This action was not just to let Danzo go for questioning. Since he and Obito were acting at the same time, the purpose was self-evident.

The evidence of Root's human experiments needs to be fixed and preserved, and cannot be destroyed by Root after learning of the situation.

So after Shisui took Danzo away, Obito took another group of Anbu and prepared for action.

……

On the way to the Hokage Building, Danzo suddenly said, "It's a good plan, but you won't succeed. This is not just my problem, but also the problem of that guy who has always been very careful about his reputation."

Shisui frowned, but remained silent.

And at this moment at the Root, Obito was indeed stopped.

"Counselors, if you don't leave now, I will really take action."

Obito was very annoyed by the two bullies in front of him, but he didn't dare to take action against the village high-ranking official like the advisor without the clear order from the Fourth Hokage.

Capture Danzo and go to the Hokage Building. That was the teacher's order.

But he did not receive any orders from the two people in front of him.

In addition, many of the Root's ninjas were drawn from various missions. After being brainwashed by the Root, they no longer represent the various ninja clans, but they still have a relationship.

Putting them all down is already the limit.

If they are all killed, the Uchiha who was just accepted will be in danger again.

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu did not give in at all in the face of Obito's threat.

After receiving the news about Sarutobi Hiruzen, Zero One also told him what he knew.

As old friends, it was obvious that they understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's meaning at the first moment.

Human experiments on primary cells must never be made public.

"The Root was established for the benefit of the village and was authorized by the Third Generation. There is a lot of top-secret intelligence of the village here, so you cannot go in directly before it is processed."

Mitomon En stared at Obito and said, "If you use your space-time ability, don't blame it for a conflict. This is a consequence you can't afford."

Obito's expression was grim: "Asshole! This is the so-called Will of Fire!"

Utane Koharu glared at him: "Say what you just said again!"

Obito glared back, "What? Are you trying to trick me into saying something that you can record?"

For a moment, several people were deadlocked here.

But inside the roots, a white-haired figure was in the shadows, searching for something.

This kind of thing is more suitable for Obito to do, but unfortunately the ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan has been exposed, and the opponent's attention will inevitably be on Obito.

But where is the evidence of human experiments?

There are many small laboratories, but none of them have this.

……

At the same time, in the Hokage Building.

The two Hokage, who had already made their move, started arguing again after Danzo arrived.

In other words, it was the first time that the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze demonstrated his influence to the village's higher-ups after taking over as Hokage.

He questioned the previous generation of high-level officials and told the various ninja clans who were watching that he now had the capital to get close to them.

"boom!"

The file of the Uchiha Kagure family was placed on the table. Namikaze Minato looked at Danzo and said, "The ninja who killed his own village was targeted by you for human experiments because of his special physique, which led to the attack."

"Danzo! What do you Root want to do?!"

"Besides Uchiha Karumi's family, how many others are there?!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and replied in a deep voice: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Fourth Hokage?"

Yes, compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo knows better what to do.

He had received the message before confronting Obito and Shisui.

Having more time to think and deciding to come for questioning also means that he knows he will not be convicted.

As long as... that location isn't found.

……

In Konoha Village, on a water tower not far from the Hokage Building.

Kevin felt the cool breeze and looked towards the Hokage Building where the lights were.

After his ideological awakening, Minato Namikaze's personality also changed greatly.

After this, the power of Konoha's top leaders will be transferred to him no matter what the outcome.

……

Chapter 368: The Beginning of the Power Struggle between the Old and New Hokage

I am the Hokage...

These words sounded so familiar to Sarutobi Hiruzen that he instantly understood the meaning contained in them.

The Hokage is the village's jewel and the highest authority.

At present, even if the entire jonin squad raises doubts, a series of procedures are required, even including notifying the Fire Country Daimyo, and only after obtaining approval can the Kage step down.

Yes, even if there is doubt, it is just resignation.

Just like after the Third Ninja World War, the village suffered heavy losses, coupled with the wrong decisions made during the war, Danzo used public opinion to force him to step down.

And now…Minato was telling him who was the Jade of the village and who was the Kage.

This is already the second time.

After gaining the support of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, as well as the support of almost all the ninja clans, Minato had already begun to think about holding on to power.

This is how Sarutobi Hiruzen understood it, but that doesn't mean he would accept it.

"I stopped the Wood Release experiment a long time ago. I am not aware of the Root's research on the primary cells."

"Before this, human experiments with primary cells were voluntary. But because primary cells are so invasive, there have been no successful cases."

"There were too many casualties. Although the purpose of the experiment was to protect the village, I eventually stopped the experiment. All of this is recorded in the archives."

After the successor has grown strong enough, he wants to truly begin to grasp the power of the shadow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could tolerate these things because it was he who recommended the Fourth Generation Namikaze Minato.

In his heart, the safety of the village is above all else.

His plan before this was to bind the village with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, and then use Kushina to bind the Golden Flash Namikaze Minato.

Possessing the strength to repel the Kirigakure alone, he was well aware of the terrifying maneuverability of the Flying Thunder God Technique when not restrained.
