Chapter 142: Danzo's Thoughts

Damn!!!

The Third Hokage stared at Danzo with eyes blazing fire.

It's me, not you, who is supposed to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, right?

You want me to die so badly?

The Third roared, "Then have you considered what the consequences would be if Ishihara escapes?"

"Have you considered what the consequences would be if Ishihara cooperates with the Uchiha?!"

"Have you considered what strength Ishihara will have in a few years? If he retaliates against Konoha then, how will we deal with him?"

He stood up, his aura exploding, spittle flying everywhere, making Danzo unable to help but wipe his face.

The Third Hokage panted heavily, his tone softening:

"Do you think I want to keep Ishihara, this unstable factor?"

"It is because there are too many unknown factors in eliminating him, and the danger is too great! If we fail, the consequences are unimaginable."

"But if we cooperate with him, Konoha's strength will advance a step further, and the terms of cooperation can continue to be negotiated."

"If we really cannot reach an agreement, then we will think of other methods."

Silence fell over the office again.

The four of them remained silent in their own thoughts.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a glance. "Danzo, why not let Hiruzen go talk to him first?"

They were old; they sought stability above all and did not want to create more trouble.

Danzo spoke coldly, "I do not agree to this matter. You will definitely regret doing this."

After speaking, he turned and left in a rage.

In the office, with the support of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the Third Hokage also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Leave the matter of Ishihara to me to handle."

"However, although Fugaku verified it before, for the sake of caution, we must also verify his talent."

"After all, those secret techniques and forbidden techniques are Konoha's most important secrets!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado nodded.

On the other side, after Danzo left the Hokage Tower, he quickly returned to the Root organization base.

At this moment, the anger on his face had vanished, replaced by shrewdness and coldness.

"How is the intelligence on Ishihara that you were asked to investigate?"

Swish!

A Root ANBU member appeared. "The intelligence is still very scarce; most of it has already been sealed by the Hokage-sama."

Danzo's eyes flickered.

He was not surprised by this situation.

"Have someone pay attention; once Ishihara enters Konoha, monitor him immediately."

"Yes!"

Danzo touched his right eye, wrapped in bandages, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"If Ishihara's talent is truly as terrifying as Hiruzen says, it is worth wasting one opportunity of Izanagi on him."

Just after hearing the intelligence on Ishihara, Danzo's heart was immediately stirred.

Such terrifying comprehension; once grasped in his own hands, it would be like divine aid, making becoming Hokage nothing too simple.

But now the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha is somewhat subtle; he must keep Izanagi in reserve just in case.

"Hiruzen, you want to be Ishihara's dog, right? Then wait until I control Ishihara, and I will enjoy watching!"

Danzo's face was full of a cold smile.

Just now, his anger was real.

He absolutely would not allow Konoha's secret techniques and forbidden techniques to be controlled by an outsider beyond his control!

Akimichi Clan, Yamanaka Clan, Inuzuka Clan, Aburame Clan...

All the clans quickly made their decisions.

Except for the Hyuga Clan, which was extremely resistant, most of the other clans held an attitude of waiting and watching.

After all, clan secret techniques concern their very foundation; they cannot easily show them to others.

And at this time, in the Uchiha Clan.

After Fugaku returned, he similarly convened a clan meeting.

Itachi also participated.

Because it was an emergency clan meeting, it was held in the secret room of Fugaku's house.

All three elders of the Uchiha Clan were present.

Among them, the First Elder already had gray hair, with a ferocious scar on his face.

The Second Elder and Third Elder also had the appearance of middle-aged men, with cold and resolute features.

There were also eight squad leaders of the Police Force.

And all the elite Sharingan users with three tomoe, totaling more than a dozen people.

And this was all the high command of the Uchiha Clan.

"Clan Head, how did I hear that you met with the Hokage and the heads of the major clans? Is the Hokage going to make a move against us?"

Before everyone had even arrived, the First Elder had already shouted in anger.

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately provoked anger in the others.

The Second Elder immediately shouted, "Damn it, are the Third Generation and Danzo trying to force the Uchiha to their deaths? Let's fight them!"

Itachi stood beside Fugaku, sighing as he looked at the angry clan members.

Could the grudge between the Uchiha and the Konoha elders truly never be resolved?

Fugaku shook his head, his expression grave.

"This has nothing to do with the Hokage. I called you here for something else."

He then shouted toward the door, "Tetsuka, come in."

As his words fell, the door to the secret chamber opened.

Inaho and Yashiro supported Tetsuka, whose eyes were wrapped in bandages, and walked in.

Boom!

Instantly, the expressions of everyone in the secret chamber changed.

Many even activated their Sharingan at once, immediately seeing Tetsuka's condition through their chakra.
