Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

He didn't hate Naruto.

It is the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

As time went by, the gossip among the ninjas around him, coupled with the immense damage the Nine-Tailed Fox had caused to Konoha, led him to begin to loathe Naruto.

Hiruzen is the Hokage, so there are many things he can't show.

I can only keep it silently in my heart.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in." Hiruzen Sarutobi dispelled his telescope technique.

The crystal ball returned to calm.

An elderly man dressed in white with a bandage wrapped around his right eye slowly walked into the Hokage's office.

His face was stern and serious, exuding a cold aura.

When he looked at the seat of the Hokage Hiruzen, a strong sense of jealousy welled up in his heart.

The newcomer was none other than Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Roots.

He originally had the opportunity to become Hokage!

He is currently Orochimaru's nominal superior.

"It's you, what a rare guest." Upon recognizing Danzo, Hiruzen took a deep drag and exhaled a smoke ring.

Danzo, being a cunning old fox, could easily hear Hiruzen's sarcasm. He sat on the sofa and spoke expressionlessly.

"As the highest leader of the village, the Hokage was personally appointed by the Daimyo. Although I am the leader of Root, I am also your subordinate. You wouldn't refuse to communicate with your subordinates about work, would you?"

Danzo once sent someone to impersonate a wandering ninja to assassinate Hiruzen, but the latter easily saw through the ruse.

However, Hiruzen did not investigate further.

After all, the two shared a common birth date and death date, which forged a deep bond between them.

However, their relationship has become complicated.

Higan stubbed out his pipe.

He got up and sat down on the sofa to Danzo's left, then asked, "What is it? Just say it."

Chapter 15 Conspiracy

Danzo spoke slowly.

"In Konoha, only the Uchiha clan can control the Nine-Tails. More than a year has passed since the Nine-Tails incident, and the Uchiha have still been unable to prove their innocence."

"Furthermore, the relocation of the Uchiha clan to the outskirts of the village worsened the relationship between them."

"Lord Tobirama once said that the Uchiha are an evil clan, and it's better to eliminate them sooner rather than later than wait for them to betray us!"

During the conversation.

Danzo made a throat-slitting gesture.

He had always hated the Uchiha clan.

We must get rid of him as soon as possible!

Upon hearing these words...

Hiruzen frowned deeply.

The Nine-Tailed Fox incident a year ago.

The Uchiha clan cannot be exonerated.

Hiruzen shook his head in refusal, and then explained.

"The Uchiha are one of the founding clans of Konoha, and they have produced powerful ninjas like Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Shisui who were willing to sacrifice for the village. If we were to attack the Uchiha, it would surely discourage the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and other clans. We cannot do that."

Danzo slammed his cane on the ground and said angrily, "As the Hokage, I cannot be merciful. Only by eliminating the Uchiha can I better protect Konoha!"

Hiruzen had his hands behind his back.

He also knew that the Uchiha were a threat.

Hiruzen seemed to be thinking, and after a while he murmured, "It's not the right time yet, or even if we exterminate the clan, the blame shouldn't fall on us, understand?"

A glint flashed in Danzo's eyes.

The other party seemed to be hinting at something.

A conspiracy began to emerge in Danzo's mind!

"I understand!"

Although Hiruzen did not give a clear answer, the fact that he gave hints proves that he has tacitly agreed.

Danzo continued, "I have another matter to discuss with you."

He gazed at Hiruzen with longing.

"Lord Hokage, entrust the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to my training. I will absolutely make it the most powerful weapon to protect the village!"

Hiruzen turned around, his gaze icy, and said, "You're delusional! Impossible!"

He rejected Danzo's proposal without even thinking about it.

First of all.

The power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is extremely unstable.

If used carelessly or haphazardly.

The natural disaster that happened a year ago might happen again.

Countless people will die or be injured.

Other hidden villages might take the opportunity to attack Konoha.

Second.

Hiruzen knew Danzo's wolfish ambitions.

If he were to master the power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...

This is a threat not only to the village.

It could even threaten their own position.

This must never be allowed to happen!

Danzo advised, "Hiruzen, are you really going to let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki grow up like this, go to school, and become just an ordinary ninja?"

"The natural disaster has already caused us to lose the Fourth Hokage and his wife, two of our top fighting forces. At this time, Konoha is already facing serious internal and external troubles. Entrust the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to me, and it won't be long before I train him into a war machine that is completely obedient to Konoha!"

Hiruzen gave a cold laugh, a mocking look appearing on his aged face.

"Is it because I'm obeying your orders?"

Although Hiruzen was old, he was not senile.

They really handed Naruto over to Danzo.

This is tantamount to raising a tiger to cause trouble.

He absolutely disagrees with this.

Hiruzen also took the opportunity to issue a warning, saying...

"If anything happens to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I will immediately take Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the Anbu to raze your Root organization to the ground!"

"You..." Upon hearing these words, Danzo's face turned red with anger.

I never expected the other party to be so old-fashioned.

"Guards, show the guest out." Ri Zhan issued the order to leave.

Two "whoosh" sounds rang out.

Two ANBU ninjas then appeared in the office instantly.

"Lord Danzo, please leave."

The ANBU ninja gestured for them to proceed.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

If Danzo dares to make any rash moves, they will take action.

"Fine, Hiruzen, you'll remember this!" Danzo turned and left.

Thinking back on all these years.

How many unspeakable things did he do for Hiruzen in secret?

Now he's being kicked out of the Hokage's office.

Danzo's chest was filled with raging anger.

Just before leaving the office, Danzo turned slightly and spoke slowly and deliberately, without any expression on his face.

"The Nine-Tails is an embodiment of evil. Allowing it to run rampant will only harm the village. Hiruzen, you will eventually regret your actions today."

"The Nine-Tails is an enemy. It cannot be treated kindly; it can only be controlled. If it cannot be controlled, then it can only be destroyed. Everything I, Danzo, have done is for Konoha, and I have never complained."

After Danzo left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at the Hokage Rock in the distance and sneered, "You think you can master the Nine-Tails' power?"

"A fool's dream!"

......

late at night.

The headquarters of Roots is located in a dark basement.

"Ah ah ah."

A series of piercing screams could be heard from time to time.

Inside the basement.

A tall, slender, pale-faced middle-aged man is using a scalpel to cut and dissect a living person.

Bright red blood flowed on the operating table.

His golden vertical pupils revealed an excited look, making him appear quite eerie.

The effects of the anesthetic have worn off.

The Konoha ninja lying on the testing table let out a shrill scream.

Orochimaru remained expressionless, engrossed in his anatomical research.

Not long after.

The ninja stopped screaming.

Her breath was faint and weak.

Life is fading away.

"Orochimaru, we don't have many test subjects left, so we need to use them sparingly."

I witnessed a cruel scene.

Danzo's face remained completely expressionless.

"The purpose of ninjas is to be useful. Konoha has never lacked people. You can just have the Root ninjas capture some more when the time comes."

"Am I right, Lord Danzo!"

Danzo did not refute, but only gave a slight cold snort.

Orochimaru has extremely high attainments in scientific research.

It was of great help to Danzo.

He wouldn't let such a small matter cause conflict with his partners.
