Ironically, the Akatsuki organization lost Yahiko precisely because of Danzo's intervention, and now, under Danzo's employment, they are indirectly helping him.
Fortunately, Danzo did not show himself, and the Akatsuki were unaware that their employer was from Konoha; otherwise, Nagato might have directly ordered Pain to attack their doorstep.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat quietly, without saying a word.
"Hiruzen, don't forget the Nine-Tails' attack six years ago. That was all orchestrated by the Uchiha clan. Haven't you seen through their scheme yet?"
Danzo Shimura added fuel to the fire, strongly urging Hiruzen Sarutobi that without the Hokage's support, dealing with the Uchiha clan would be no easy task.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, holding his old pipe in one hand, taking a leisurely puff, but a hint of hesitation crept across his brow.
Upon seeing this, Danzo's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Is your heart moving?
But just then, Hiruzen's gaze inadvertently swept over a photograph on the table—a picture of him with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
In his sights, Minato was receiving the Hokage hat from him, preparing to inherit the leadership of Konoha.
only……
The Nine-Tails' rampage six years ago took Minato's life forever.
Minato Namikaze had a close relationship with the Uchiha clan during his lifetime, and the clan head was his best friend.
With these thoughts in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi gently covered the photograph, shook his head, and an idea formed in his mind.
"Let's wait and see. Don't act rashly against the Uchiha unless absolutely necessary."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words abruptly stopped Danzo Shimura's smile, freezing it on his face in a rather abrupt manner.
"Hiruzen, what do you mean by that?!" Danzo asked incredulously.
"Let's hold off for now and observe whether the Uchiha have shown any remorse. If they still harbor ill intentions, it won't be too late to take action then."
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's calm yet resolute expression, Danzo knew that nothing could sway his old friend.
"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"
Danzo finished speaking through gritted teeth, then abruptly turned and left, leaving behind a cold remark:
I will handle it in my own way.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger flared up, and he slammed his hand on the table.
boom!
"Danzo, don't forget, I am the Hokage!"
Danzo's repeated disregard for his authority pushed his patience to its limit.
Danzo didn't respond, but glared at him fiercely before leaving in a fit of rage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, sat back down, and turned his gaze back to the covered photograph.
"well……"
"Minato, this is the last time I'll help the Uchiha..."

"Never mind that for now, let's go see Naruto."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had lost all interest in official duties; Danzo's visit had completely ruined his mood. He changed into civilian clothes and quietly went to search for Naruto's whereabouts.

Chat group
Itachi Uchiha: "That's roughly it. I plan to gradually improve the reputation of our Uchiha clan."
"There's no need to completely change the entire village's opinion of us; as long as they stop being hostile towards us, that's enough. Then my next plan can proceed smoothly."
He shared his plan in the group chat, which seemed to be a combination of Shinomiya Yuzuki's previous suggestions, with some improvements, resulting in a perfect plan that could greatly reduce Konoha's casualties.
Shinomiya Yuuki: "That's a great idea. As expected of someone who fights with wisdom, you came up with a solution so quickly. If Obito were to do this, he'd probably be completely bewildered for a while."
Obito Uchiha: "Huh? How did this get to me? Besides, I'm pretty clever, okay?"
"By the way, why haven't those two smurfs logged on? What do you think they're busy with?"
Shinomiya Yuuki: "They're probably busy fighting right now. After all, time flows differently, so it might not be over yet on their end."
Obito Uchiha: "I thought they believed they were under a genjutsu and were trying to break free."
Shinomiya Yuuki: "He can't be that stupid, can he?"
White Mask: "What kind of illusion is this? Kabuto, when did you tamper with me?"
Shinomiya Yuzuki: "6"
Obito Uchiha: "Yuzuki, you got your face slapped, didn't you? Look, Genjutsu-kun is here."
Chapter 52 Unwavering Will, White Mask
------Year 67 of Konoha Village------
The white-masked man summoned the Six Paths of Pain to protect himself, lest Naruto Uzumaki and Killer Bee launch a sneak attack. At the same time, he stared in shock at the virtual screen in front of him.
Characters were flowing across the screen; he had never seen anything like it before.
"What is this……"
"Is it an illusion?"
White Mask's heart sank. He recalled Naruto mentioning before the battle that Madara had also appeared on another battlefield and expressed doubt about his identity.
No need to guess, it must have been Kabuto Yakushi's doing, resurrecting Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique without authorization.
This strange thing in front of me must also be Kabuto Yakushi's masterpiece.
"This guy……"
He decided to immediately settle accounts with Yakushi Kabuto after obtaining the Nine-Tails.
He suddenly looked up, his Rinnegan and Sharingan flashing cold light. He then pulled out a fan from his back and swung it forcefully at Naruto and Killer Bee!
Fire Release: Flame Fan Great Fire!
The white-masked man spewed out a huge ball of flame, and then with a wave of his fan, a gale arose!
The fire, fueled by the wind, and the wind amplified the fire's power, transforming into a fiery tornado that madly devoured the earth, heading straight for Naruto and Killer Bee!
"Uncle, watch out!"
Naruto's pupils constricted, and he shouted a warning.
"Wind Style: Rasengan Shuriken!"
With a sharp whistling sound, a bright blue Rasengan instantly formed in Naruto's palm.
"You idiot, you bastard, let me show you what I'm capable of!"
At the same time, Killer Bee also gathered a small Tailed Beast Ball.
"coming!"
The two threw in unison, and the Rasenshuriken and Tailed Beast Ball collided violently with the fire tornado.
In an instant, a dazzling white light filled the sky, and a deafening roar resounded through the heavens.
boom! ! !
As the dust settled, a massive crater appeared between the white-masked man and Naruto's group. The once lush green trees and land around them were torn apart beyond recognition by the explosion.
After everything settled down, Naruto Uzumaki was revealed to be completely unharmed.
White Mask was not surprised by this result.
If he could capture the Nine-Tails so easily, he would have already accomplished his mission.
Just as he was about to wave his hand to order the Six Paths of Pain to attack, his body suddenly froze, and a piece of information quietly flooded into his mind.
"what?!"
This is a brief explanation of the chat group, which made the white-masked man realize that what he was seeing was real.
Group chat
Shinomiya Yuzuki: "Done"
"I set up a group announcement, and all new members will receive an explanation. Hopefully, no one will be able to act as the 'Illusionist Bro' anymore."
Uchiha Itachi: "Hmm, quite a useful setting."
White Mask: "So, this isn't an illusion?"
Obito Uchiha: "Yo, isn't this Genjutsu Bro? You yourself don't even know if it's a genjutsu? What kind of genjutsu can fool the Rinnegan?"
White Mask felt a jolt in his heart. Yes, he instinctively touched his left eye socket; there, a Rinnegan radiated a faint purple light.
The Sharingan already possesses extremely high resistance to genjutsu, not to mention its ultimate evolved form—the Rinnegan.
That's practically an illusion-immune existence.
