Chapter 264

~5 min read 942 words

This guy was too dangerous.

"I agree with Koharu's opinion!" Mitokado Homura said solemnly: "Uchiha Jin is too dangerous, and his actions are becoming more excessive each time."

"We cannot let him continue to live; we must finish him off with all our strength."

"Even if we pay a high price, in my opinion, it is worth it!"

"Hiruzen, take action."

"Just as Koharu said, before the Uchiha react, secretly contact all the ninja clans in Konoha and finish off the Uchiha in one go!"

"The Uchiha are too excessive this time; even those ninja clans cannot tolerate them."

"It's just that we will lose some reputation among the commoners, but compared to the benefits we can gain from finishing off the Uchiha."

"Hehe, it's worthless!"

"Ordinary commoners are forgetful; strength is the true kingly way."

"As long as we have strength, they can't turn the sky!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.

He himself admitted in his heart that his two old friends were right.

This time, the opportunity was rare.

If it could be grasped well, perhaps the Uchiha could be solved in one go.

This temptation was too great!

Really, the opportunity was rare.

One must know that the Uchiha this time had offended all the ninja clans.

It's just that, I'm really not reconciled!

The good reputation I've managed for so many years, could it be that it really can't be saved this time?

Bang!

Just at this moment, the office door was kicked open.

Danzo walked in with a gloomy face, then immediately spread his hands.

"Hiruzen, you are too cowardly!"

"Koharu and Homura are right; this is the best opportunity to deal with the Uchiha."

"As long as you are willing to speak up, I believe all the ninja clans in Konoha will definitely choose to support you."

"So, don't hesitate."

"Although doing this will weaken Konoha's strength, if all the ninja clans work together, in my opinion, it won't require paying too high a price."

"As for the war front, there is no need to worry too much."

"Draft more family ninjas to go; just take the opportunity to weaken these people more."

"So many benefits, just paying some reputation."

"What a cost-effective thing; Hiruzen, you wouldn't still refuse, would you?"

Danzo's face was cold.

He stared fixedly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, with fierce light flickering in his eyes.

Yes.

Among the entire Elder Council, he was the most serious about dealing with the Uchiha.

Since there was such a good opportunity this time, no matter what, he was unwilling to give it up.

Not to mention.

Taking the opportunity to ruin Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation was simply wonderful for him.

One must know, the position of Hokage.

This was the saddest place in his life; he was just that little bit away back then.

Just because he answered a moment late, otherwise the position of Hokage should have been his to sit in.

Now, the opportunity was rare.

Being able to finish off the Uchiha while even being able to ruin Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This way, if he wanted to ascend to the position in the future, it would definitely become much simpler.

Thinking of this.

His heart became more and more excited.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

He furrowed his brows tightly.

Looking at Danzo in front of him, he was even more silent than before.

He could guess the inner thoughts of this old friend of his with eight or nine out of ten accuracy.

Ruin my reputation?

If my reputation wasn't bad enough, I'm sure this old friend of mine would be willing to help for free.

The worse my reputation, the happier he would be!

However.

Everyone was right!

The opportunity this time was indeed rare; as long as it could be grasped, finishing off the Uchiha really wasn't difficult.

He was indeed tempted.

So.

After pondering for a long time, he nodded slowly.

"Good, I agree."

"The Uchiha are indeed too excessive this time; even if I wanted to keep them, all the ninja clans wouldn't agree."

"Since that's the case, how could I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, be reluctant to part with mere reputation."

"Go and secretly notify the major ninja clans; no need for the Anbu to go this time, you three elders go yourselves."

"Tell them to come secretly to the Jonin meeting hall at nine o'clock tonight!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

Yes.

Although choosing to do this would definitely have a slight impact on him.

Perhaps even Danzo, the knife in his hand, might even take action against him.

But, it didn't matter.

He knew Danzo's methods too well, and was even more confident that he had enough grasp to press Danzo down again.

Since that's the case, let it be.

After saying these words, he lit his pipe again and began to puff out clouds of smoke.

Amidst the misty smoke, his eyes were obscure and uncertain.

However.

At this moment, Danzo and the other three elders couldn't care about this, and instead fell into wild joy.

Yes.

For them, the situation before them was a guaranteed win.

The most important thing was still Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Without him, the Hokage, taking the lead, even if other ninja clans were tempted, they wouldn't dare to truly participate.

But now it was good.

No matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen had nodded.

For them, this was already enough!

"Good, I'll go right away."

"I'll go too."

"I'm also willing to help; let's discuss our respective targets for visits."

"..."

Danzo and the others didn't waste words.

They immediately began chatting with each other, and after allocating their respective tasks, they pushed the door open and left.

Yes.
