Chapter 427

Tsunade led the Anbu to force their way into the Root base, and they even fought.

It had been a long time since such a major event had occurred in Konoha.

"Served them right!"

Tekka Uchiha said very happily: "Danzo Shimura and the Root are always targeting us; now it can be considered retribution!"

"So restless, what kind of decorum is this?"

Yashiro Uchiha couldn't help but glare at him and ask.

Although he was also happy to see Danzo Shimura eat humble pie, he didn't show his joy like Tekka Uchiha.

However, he could understand.

After all, if Itachi aren't spirited, are Itachi still a young man?

"I'm just saying."

Tekka Uchiha shrank his head and said: "Itachi personally beat up the Root ninja!"

Speaking to the end, there was deep envy in his tone.

If conditions allowed, he would have rushed to the Root to vent the anger in his heart long ago.

"Yashiro, restrain the ninja in the clan; don't let them act without authorization because of this matter."

Fugaku Uchiha thought for a moment and said.

Although Danzo Shimura suffered a loss, it was limited to this.

The Root was still there, and the Uchiha clan couldn't be too optimistic.

Most importantly, Itachi Uchiha participated in it.

He was worried that some young ninja in the clan would be unable to resist imitating him.

"Yes, Clan Leader."

Yashiro Uchiha said immediately.

"I'm going home."

Fugaku Uchiha stood up and said.

In Yashiro Uchiha's account just now, he discovered an unexpected figure: Kitazawa.

In what capacity did Kitazawa participate in this matter?

Logically speaking, as a teacher at the Ninja Academy, he shouldn't have appeared.

But since he did appear, it showed that his relationship with Tsunade was closer than he had imagined.

Perhaps Kitazawa had already become Tsunade's student, just not announced to the public yet.

However, this time period was quite sensitive.

It wasn't convenient for him to find Kitazawa directly, so he planned to take another path—that is, through his son, Sasuke Uchiha.

Incidentally, he also had to find Itachi Uchiha to confirm the situation again.

After all, he was the person involved.

Yashiro Uchiha's intelligence was all heard from others; perhaps he would miss some important details.

Today was Sunday.

Sasuke Uchiha wasn't at school.

He was in the courtyard practicing the genjutsu Itachi Uchiha taught him, called Genjutsu: Shiranui.

"Father?"

Sasuke Uchiha heard footsteps, subconsciously turned his head, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hasn't Itachi returned yet?"

Fugaku Uchiha saw he was alone and asked.

"No."

Sasuke Uchiha asked suspiciously: "Father, why did Itachi come home at this time?"

"I have something to do."

Fugaku Uchiha paused and asked: "How is your relationship with Kitazawa?"

"Relationship?"

Sasuke Uchiha was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said: "It's alright, I suppose."

"If Itachi have the chance, Itachi can cultivate the relationship more."

Fugaku Uchiha suggested.

"Hmm."

Although Sasuke Uchiha was a bit puzzled, he still agreed.

After all, Kitazawa had helped him a lot.

"Teacher Kitazawa's birthday is next month!"

Sasuke Uchiha suddenly thought of something and said: "I plan to give him a ninjutsu as a gift!"

"Does he like ninjutsu?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked thoughtfully.

"I gave him several Fire Style ninjutsu before, and he accepted them happily; he should like them."

Sasuke Uchiha said uncertainly.

"That's good."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded and said: "I'll choose a ninjutsu for Itachi then, and Itachi can give it to him."

Although Sasuke Uchiha was the second young master of the Uchiha clan, the gift he could give was at most B-rank.

Fugaku Uchiha planned to give an A-rank ninjutsu to Kitazawa.

Being Hokage isn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

But the Uchiha clan of the past, under the suppression of Danzo Shimura and the Root, couldn't even develop human relationships.

Plus, the Uchiha clan was naturally proud; letting them befriend ninja clans and ninja weaker than them was absolutely out of the question.

But changing it to Tsunade—that was possible.

How did the saying go? Don't provoke medical ninja, especially the most excellent medical ninja.

And Tsunade's status and strength were also sufficient.

"Great!"

Sasuke Uchiha was worried about what gift to give.

His father being able to help saved him the trouble.

"Itachi continue training; I'm going to find Itachi."

Fugaku Uchiha touched his head and said.

Hokage's office.

After Tsunade left, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled.

Although Tsunade was his student, he found it hard to handle her fiery temper.

The key was that he was also in the wrong and couldn't bring out his status as her teacher.

"Lord Hokage."

Haru walked in and said: "Lord Danzo will be here soon."

"None of them let me have any peace."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a headache as soon as he heard Danzo Shimura's name.

But he still had to see him.

"Hiruzen!"

As soon as Danzo Shimura saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, he complained: "Tsunade went way too far this time!"

"How did she go too far?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked coldly.

"She led people to force their way into the Root and injured Root members!"

Danzo Shimura asked resonantly: "Isn't this going too far?"

"It was the Root members who ignored the Hokage's order I gave her."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with dissatisfaction: "Is the Root your Root, or Konoha's Root?"

"Of course it's Konoha's Root."

Danzo Shimura said seriously: "Everything I do is for Konoha!"

"I've heard that many times already."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at him and said.

"Hiruzen, if Itachi wanted Torune Aburame, Itachi could have just told me."

Danzo Shimura changed the subject: "Tsunade is clearly using this matter to target me!"

"If I asked, would Itachi have given him to me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted coldly and said: "Over these years, the Root has done many things it shouldn't have!"

"Hiruzen, if Itachi ask, I will naturally give."

Danzo Shimura emphasized again: "Everything the Root does is for Konoha!"

"Enough, don't I know Itachi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly: "I just talked to Tsunade; the Root members Itachi recruited in violation of the rules must all be repatriated."

"What? That's impossible!"

Danzo Shimura said in shock and anger: "Without them, is the Root still the Root?"

"Don't forget the Root's original establishment was seventeen people; look at how many people Itachi've recruited now?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said without hesitation: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter; execute it when Itachi go back."

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo Shimura said very angrily: "Where there is light, there is darkness; the existence of the Root is essential!"

"I'm just asking Itachi to repatriate the personnel recruited in violation of the rules; I'm not asking Itachi to dissolve the Root."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone turned cold, and he asked: "Do Itachi really want me to order the dissolution of the Root?"

"..."

Danzo Shimura was shocked in his heart, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, unable to believe he would actually say something like dissolving the Root.

Itachi've changed; Itachi've become so strange.

"Hiruzen, Itachi will regret this!"

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth and said.

He didn't dare to continue the conversation.

Because he understood Hiruzen Sarutobi; since he had said it to this point, there was no possibility of change.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him and retorted tit-for-tat.

Bang!
