Chapter 118 Shimura Danzo's Plan
Muye Village
Hokage Building
"Huruzen, don't hesitate, tell that brat to hand over the Five-Tails to the village for control."
Due to the subsequent counterattack by the Hidden Cloud Village, the Root Ninja suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the village in advance. Shimura Danzo looked at his old friend in front of him and said anxiously
Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth, exhaled, and continued to read the battle report of the Land of Grass sent by Orochimaru with a serious expression.
It records in detail how Uchiha Minami displayed his great power, thwarted the attacks of the Iwagakure Village and the Kusagakure Village, and captured the Five-Tails.
And everything was completely contrary to what he wanted to see.
He had previously obtained intelligence from Danzo, and in order to weaken Uchiha Minami's prestige on the battlefield, he transferred him to the Kusagakure Village battlefield.
Unexpectedly, this Uchiha kid not only did not show any sign of discouragement, but became even more courageous and caught the Five-Tails.
What is a tailed beast? It is a village's protective weapon.
Just as Danzo said, how could such a dangerous weapon fall into the hands of Uchiha Minami?
But he didn't know what reason he should use to take the Five-Tails back from him.
Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi are indeed friends for many years.
Looking at the monkey's sad face, he knew what this old friend was thinking.
"Isn't that just excuses Hiruzen? There are plenty of them."
"Um"
Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became alert, put down the information in his hand, and stared at him closely.
"We can tell Uchiha Minami that the Land of Earth wants to take back the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and for this purpose they can sign a permanent peace treaty with Konoha."
"In this way, wouldn't it be an excuse to bring the Five-Tails back to the village?"
"But," Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a little hesitant. Would Uchiha Minami really obey his orders?
"Huruzen, at worst we can leak this news to the whole village in advance and use public opinion to force him to submit, just like White Fang did before..."
Shimura Danzo knew that his old friend had given in, so he continued to persuade him.
It would be fine if he said anything else but he couldn't hold it in when he mentioned White Fang Sarutobi Hiruzen. He didn't want others to associate this matter with him.
"I had no idea about this matter back then, so don't mention it again in the future."
Shimura Danzo curled his lips in disdain and cursed in his heart: I clearly told you this matter vaguely at the beginning, but you kept silent, so I dared to do this.
Now you have changed your face and said it was not your fault. You are really a whore who wants to pretend to be a virtuous woman.
"Just do as you say."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and asked his old friend to go down, but he paused, remembered something, and added another sentence.
"Danzo, if the Iwagakure Village really sends someone to declare a truce with this condition, then return the Five-Tails to them."
"Huruzen, what are you talking about?" Shimura Danzo looked at his old friend in disbelief.
"Those are tailed beasts, weapons of war that can easily destroy a village. Just give them back like that!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and leaned back in his chair.
"I'm doing this for the peace of the village. Do as I say, Danzo."
"I will never agree to this matter, Hiruzen. Don't even think about it!" Shimura Danzo looked furious.
In his mind, he had already arranged how to use the Five-Tailed Fox, and there was absolutely no way he would give it up.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand at this time, and said slowly with a leisurely look on his face
"Danzo, I am the Hokage."
"Hiruzen you will regret this!"
boom!
Danzo Shimura slammed the door and walked out of the Hokage building, sneering in his heart.
He had already planned to send people to spread the news of the Five-Tails in the village while pretending to agree to Hiruzen's plan.
At the same time, he sent someone to take over the Five-Tails and seal it into a reliable person.
As for the Iwagakure and the like, he will mobilize all the Root members in his hands and spread them across the border of the Land of Earth.
As soon as we detect their intention to send an envoy to Konoha, we will kill them all.
In this case, if the envoy from the Iwagakure Village does not arrive for a long time, the Five-Tails will have to fall into his hands and be dealt with by him.
By that time, it would be a done deal. Even if the Iwagakure Village came looking for him, he believed that Hiruzen would make the right choice.
After the war, he mobilized public opinion in the village to force Hiruzen to step down and take responsibility for the deaths of Konoha ninjas in the war.
On the other hand, he was making a big publicity of the news that he had added another Jinchūriki to Konoha, in order to increase his prestige in the village.
As for Uchiha Nan, who is he? He is just an Uchiha kid who almost made a big mistake by stealing the tailed beast from another village.
He is the only one who can turn such a dangerous factor as the tailed beasts into a hero who can protect the village's Jinchūriki.
The right to speak in the village is in the hands of his faction, so it is up to him to say whatever he wants.
Can that little brat really fight against the entire village?
On the other side, on the battlefield of the Land of Grass, Uchiha Minami went out to relax and met Orochimaru.
"Nan-kun, the Hokage-sama sent a message asking you to hand over the Five-Tails to the village and go to the Wind Country battlefield to take over Minato's mission!"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and looked at Uchiha Minami with interest, wanting to know what he would do.
"To take over from Minato. The Hidden Sand Village has been defeated on the battlefield in the Land of Wind. What am I going to do now to take over from him?"
"Lead the ninja troops over there to retreat back to the village?"
Uchiha Nan had an expression as if he was laughing out of anger, his eyes fixed on Orochimaru.
If he had been transferred to the battlefield of the Hidden Sand Village some time ago, there would have been some chance to clean up the stubborn resistance elements in the Hidden Sand Village.
But under Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God's crazy killing, if he went there now, he would only encounter some defeated ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village.
By that time, the little he gained would not even be enough to fill his teeth, and it was not worth wasting several days to change the battlefield.
"This is none of my business, Nan-kun. It's the village's decision. You need to calm down."
"I am only responsible for reading out the orders. It is up to you whether you follow them or not."
Orochimaru handed the contents of the secret letter to Uchiha Minami.
Then he took two steps back and stood aside. He didn't want to be affected by the confrontation between Uchiha and the village.
After reading the contents of the letter, Uchiha Nan crushed it into pieces and threw it away.
"Are you trying to use the power of village public opinion to kidnap me?"
Having said that, he smiled before looking towards Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, report to the village that the Five-Tails is not in my hands. He ran away during the battle just now. As for where he went, let them send someone to look for him themselves."
"As for the Wind Country battlefield? I'm seriously injured and need to recuperate. Let's talk about it in 10 days."
Uchiha Nan did not lie. The Five-Tails did run away and was not caught by him. They just signed a contract, which did not count as catching it.
As for going to the Kingdom of Wind, he just discovered it after this period of time.
His skin was badly damaged by long-term exposure to wind and sun, and it became much darker.
He decided to take about 10 days to recuperate. There is nothing wrong with that. It is a very normal thing. I believe the villagers will understand his difficulties.
