"The Third Generation Lord is truly amazing!"

The Japanese player offered a word of praise.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

"Even so, Itachi remains an uncertain factor..."

Because Itachi is currently unaware of his younger brother's sudden surge in power, I'm unsure whether his faith in the Will of Fire will waver once he learns of it.

After a pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly:

"Therefore, we must take action against the Uchiha clan immediately before Itachi receives the news..."

Otherwise, if this drags on, we might lose this high-level combat capability!

Hiashi Hyuga nodded knowingly, understanding why the Third Hokage was in such a hurry to act.

Chapter 34 Deterrence! The Anbu! Danzo!

But he was still somewhat worried:

"I understand your concerns, Third Generation Lord, but I'm still worried about my situation..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Don't worry, your Hyuga clan only needs to provide combat assistance. Danzo and his Root will handle the rest."

"At that time, Root will be responsible for the frontal attack, and we only need to hold the line on the perimeter and prevent any Uchiha clan members from escaping in the chaos!"

The Japanese team's eyes lit up.

"Okay, then I have no further questions!"

“Yes!” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. “Next, let me explain the battle plan to you in detail!”

Half an hour later.

Hiashi Hyuga emerged from a very unassuming wooden hut, the smile on his lips indicating that he was in a very good mood.

When he looked in a certain direction, the smile on his lips disappeared, and his eyes revealed intense hatred!

The direction he was looking in was the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory.

"Hmph! Uchiha, your end is near! I hope to see you filled with regret and remorse then! Uchiha Rukawa!"

...

root.

"How strange, Hiruzen. Why are you at my Root organization instead of staying at the Hokage Building?"

Danzo Shimura has a white bandage around his right eye and an "X"-shaped scar on his chin.

He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had suddenly appeared at the Root base, and said in a sinister tone.

"I am the Hokage, and there is no place in Konoha that I cannot come to!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared expressionlessly at his longtime friend.

Shimura Danzo had always coveted the Hokage position, a fact that Sarutobi was well aware of.

Therefore, the atmosphere was never very friendly whenever the two of them were together.

"Heh! How impressive, Hiruzen. You came all the way to my Root just to emphasize your Hokage status?!"

"Or is it because you were humiliated by a brat from the Uchiha clan today, that you came here specifically to vent your anger on me?"

Danzo Shimura continued his eccentric and sarcastic remarks.

Given the Root ninjas' intelligence-gathering abilities, he naturally learned of what had happened at the village entrance immediately.

To be honest, Danzo felt particularly pleased to hear that Hiruzen had been mocked so much by a brat.

Unfortunately, he wasn't there at the time and didn't get to see Hiruzen's furious face.

At the same time, he also became interested in that kid named Uchiha Rukawa, who possessed such strength at such a young age.

It doesn't make sense at all, so there must be a secret about him!

Danzo's eyes gleamed with greed... He needed to find an opportunity to capture this brat and bring him to Root for a thorough study.

...

"Enough, Danzo! I'm not here to waste time with this nonsense; I have important business to discuss with you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a serious expression on his face.

"Is it about the Uchiha? Heh! After all, you made a huge fool of yourself before, so I can understand if you're angry out of embarrassment!"

A glint of wisdom shone in Shimura Danzo's single eye.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, ignoring the other party's insults, and said in a deep voice:

"That's right! Tonight, the Uchiha clan will be completely wiped out of the ninja world!"

"Tsk! Making our move tonight?"

Danzo Shimura glanced at the Third Hokage with surprise.

"Hiruzen, when did you become so charismatic? I'm starting to think you're a fake!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Danzo, I'm just asking you, can we make our move tonight?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, somewhat annoyed that Danzo kept insulting him!

"Hmph! I've already made all the preparations. If you hadn't been so slow and dawdling, I would have taken down the Uchiha clan long ago. Why would it have dragged on until now!"

Danzo leaned on his cane and gave a disdainful snort.

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the other's complaints and simply said:

"Although the timing of the plan has changed, our action plan remains the same! Go!"

"Danzo, send your men to the Anbu and summon Itachi. Have him be the vanguard!"

"Hmph! Seeing that you've shown such rare courage, I'll let it slide this time since you ordered me around!"

Danzo was dissatisfied, but he still gave the order towards the darkness:

"A! Go to the Anbu and bring Uchiha Itachi here!"

"Yes!"

A voice responded from the shadows.

.....

ANBU.

Itachi, who was feeling conflicted about the impending annihilation of the Uchiha clan, suddenly received a summons from the Konoha leadership.

"Hmm?! The Third Hokage and Lord Danzo are both looking for me, and the meeting place isn't with the Anbu, but with Root. Is there something they want to discuss?"

Itachi asked the armor beside him.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong!

"do not know!"

A's answer was concise and to the point.

"Has anything unusual happened in the village today?"

Ever since Itachi was informed that he would be carrying out the Uchiha clan massacre plan in a few days, he had been locking himself in a small room in the Anbu...

Should I sacrifice my family for the sake of the village?

He has been kept out of the public eye for the past few days.

He came out now because he wanted to know if anything major had happened in the village these past few days.

"do not know!"

Unfortunately, A's answer was the same as before; no information was obtained at all.

We can only take it one step at a time!

Helpless, Itachi followed Kabuto and hurried towards the Root base.

...

"Lord Third Hokage, Lord Danzo, may I ask why you two have summoned me here?"

After bowing to the Third Hokage and Danzo, Itachi respectfully asked...

"Humph!"

Danzo turned his gaze away, not looking directly at Itachi. He was a little annoyed that his name was listed after the Third Hokage's.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then revealed a kind smile and said gently:

"Itachi! You've come. I called you here today to talk to you about something related to the Uchiha clan."

"I have received intelligence from my spies that the Uchiha clan will stage a coup tomorrow!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was solemn, yet tinged with a sense of helplessness.

"Therefore, in order to prevent the Uchiha clan from being accused of betraying the village, and for the sake of the village's peace and stability..."

After discussing with Elder Danzo, I have decided that we will take action against Uchiha tonight!

Uchiha Itachi looked astonished upon hearing this:

"Lord Third Generation, didn't you say you wouldn't decide to make a move until five days from now?"

"Hey~"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his face showing a pained expression.

“Your people have gone almost insane. I didn’t want things to escalate like this, but… alas! There’s just no other way!”

"We must act tonight, otherwise by tomorrow, the Uchiha coup will turn the entire Hidden Leaf Village into a battlefield, and countless lives will be lost!"

"At that time, countless innocent people will lose their lives because of the Uchiha's mistakes. Not only that, other ninja villages will also take advantage of the situation."

"With Konoha destroyed, the Uchiha will be sinners for all time!"

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed grief, revealing his true feelings.

A faint glimmer appeared in his eyes, as if he had truly seen Konoha reduced to ruins.

Seeing this, Danzo thought with disdain, "Hiruzen is such a hypocrite."

Unlike him, whose sole purpose is Konoha!

Chapter 35 Itachi! Orochimaru!

The Third Hokage ignored Danzo's thoughts and continued his performance, lamenting:

"Itachi! As the successor to the Will of Fire, you certainly don't want that kind of thing to happen, right?!"

Itachi kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

“I understand, Third Hokage. But you promised me a request earlier…”

"rest assured!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He said with a sincere expression:

"After completing this mission, you will become a hero of Konoha."

"I guarantee that your younger brother, Uchiha Rukawa, is absolutely safe staying in Konoha!"

Moreover, if he has enough talent, I will even take him as my disciple.

He personally taught him ninjutsu, devoting all his efforts to training him into an excellent Konoha ninja!

"In the future, if Rukawa's abilities are strong enough, it's not impossible for him to become the Hokage of Konoha!"

In order to get Itachi Uchiha to make a move tonight, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a lot of promises.
