The news of Nine Tails's assassination reached all the Kage's desk in less than half a day. They were well aware of the situation of Konoha after the war, and the only reason why they didn't do anything was because the Shinobi World couldn't afford a fourth war.

The third Tsuchikage Onoki called his granddaughter Black Soil to his side and gave her some advice. He circled Shimura Danzo's name in red and marked the key points. This is a more sinister and cruel politician than him. For the sake of Konoha, he would do anything and everything.

After the end of the third war, Konoha's Root completely absorbed enough resources from this war to strengthen their power. Some people who knew about Root and Danzō were waiting for a good show to happen. The reason was very normal, two tigers can't live on the same mountain, let alone two leaders with opposing views.

Either Sarutobi will suppress Danzō, or he will overthrow Sarutobi.

The two tigers in Konoha are fighting, this is an opportunity for them.

"Sama, why don't we join this plan? This may be the only chance to get the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai in decades." Whether Danzō succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with them.

Black Soil read the information several times, but she still couldn't figure out why they didn't take advantage of the conflict between the snipe and the clam to be the fisherman.

"Didn't you always say that missing an opportunity is worse than wasting it?"

Looking at his granddaughter's high-spirited appearance, Onoki slowly leaned back in his chair and explained: "Danzō's conditions are indeed tempting, but Black Soil, you have to know that there are only interests between countries, there is no trust. Shimura Danzo can make a plan to kill the Uchiha, no matter what the reason is, Konoha will inevitably track him down afterwards."

Onoki smiled: "Killing to silence, cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, what better reason than a hostile country's ninja?"

Not only because of this concern, before he received Danzō's offer to cooperate, he also learned through his own channels that a new member of the Hashirama Clan has joined Konoha. All information about this successor of the Hashirama Clan has been kept secret, but fortunately, an organization he secretly supported brought some information to him.

– Mokuton.

This information was too subtle. The attitude of the Third Generation Leader was different, and he started to use a strong hand in political affairs. Everything changed after the successor of the Hashirama Clan appeared. He could tolerate Danzō for nearly ten years, why can't he tolerate him for another twenty or thirty years?

Onoki valued his granddaughter very much, and he patiently analyzed the pros and cons for her: "No matter what, Konoha must have suffered a great loss this time. Sarutobi dared to go against Danzō, he must have a trump card. Danzō has been too arrogant these years, and he has completely forgotten that the Fire Country only recognizes Naruto. We don't need to get involved in their internal conflict and get ourselves into trouble."

After knowing each other for so many years, Onoki understood Sarutobi quite well. This also made him see clearly that Sarutobi didn't want to dominate the country, nor did he have enough of Danzō, but he wanted to pave the way for the next Naruto.

"Then we give up this opportunity!" Black Soil was indignant.

"No." The Third Tsuchikage calmly said, "We're going to Konoha."

To see the future Fifth Generation Leader Naruto.

Because far more precious than the immediate benefits is the attitude of the next successor of Konoha.

Unlike what the other countries had guessed, Konoha was now in a completely confused atmosphere the next day.

More or less, the Fire Nation was destroyed while I was sleeping???

Things weren't that serious.

But it wasn't that far off.

The Uchiha Clan's land, which was rarely visited in the past, was now crowded with a group of people. Whether it was villagers, ninjas, or spies, there was no sense of surprise at all at this time. There was no other reason than the large-scale battle that broke out in the Uchiha Clan's land last night. Tall trees appeared out of thin air in half of the Clan's land, and they weren't ordinary trees, but hundreds of meters long stretches of primeval forest.

The head of the Enchantment Department was stunned. The Uchiha Clan's land had been moving closer and closer to the border of Konoha for many years, so this forest directly pierced through the Konoha barrier. Repairing the barrier wasn't as simple as filling a hole.

After a while, the ninjas who came to disperse the crowd began to clean up the battlefield last night.

Broken walls, messy shurikens and kunai scattered on the ground, tangled tree trunks were buried in the soil, and occasionally there were clear traces of dried blood between the branches. The smell of blood, the smell of scorched earth, the smell of fresh leaves, and more things that symbolized uneasiness were brought into the ground by the trees.

The entire leadership fell into a dead silence, and the higher-ups who vaguely knew something were also silent.

They couldn't say, and they couldn't ask, because the weight of the word "coup" was enough to question everything and crush everything, and no one wanted to be the first bird to take the lead.

Uchiha Itachi pushed open the door of Naruto's office, walked in, bowed deeply to Sandaime-sama, and handed over something.

"Sandaime-sama, this is another Mangekyo left behind by Shisui -senpai."

The boy paused, "I'm glad that I didn't have the chance to use it, please return it to him later."

Sarutobi accepted it, and said with some guilt: "We are very sorry about the Uchiha and Fugaku's matter, please restrain your grief."

He never thought that one day his former companions would betray the village for their own selfish desires. The enemy last night was not only Root, but also the ninjas of Wind and Water. Their misjudgment of Danzō's ruthlessness caused them and the Uchiha clan to pay a heavy price. Fortunately, Hashirama came in time at the last moment, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

"For Uchiha, this is the best result, but in the future, Sasuke … mother, please."

Itachi bowed his head. The Uchiha clan had preserved their bloodline, and with the support of Sandaime-sama, his and Shisui's first dream had been realized.

He took off the mask that symbolized the Anbu and handed it to Sandaime-sama along with his identity card.

This was his, Uchiha Itachi's, next decision.

He abandoned all his past identities and lurked around the mysterious person who appeared in the Uchiha clan last night, becoming a traitor of Konoha, and a stain on the Uchiha clan's name.

Uchiha's strength was strong and unyielding, and if there was no change, there would be a day when the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind, and when the pile was higher than the shore, it would be swept away by the current.

Shisui's death was recorded on the public record, plus his betrayal of Konoha, and the baptism of the Blood Night, the entire Uchiha currently had less than 10% of their best fighters left. With this reason, the Uchiha could be released from the prison of the guards, and have a chance to enter the core area in the future. And because of their clan's sacrifice, Sandaime-sama had an excuse to fight for more benefits for the clan.

"This is Uchiha."

After Itachi left, the Leopard Cat smiled under the mask. "He really is a good Uchiha, a good brother."

"Yes …."

The third generation's heart was instantly filled with speechless bitterness and self-blame. The youth was only eleven years old, an age when his peers were still studying in school, but he had no choice but to shoulder the heavy burden of the family and go far away alone.

The Leopard Cat patted Sandaime-sama's shoulder and comforted him. "It's good now, but there's always change little by little."

Sarutobi coughed twice, and put away his unruly expression. Now was not the time to be in a daze.

Danzō's rebellion at Root was suppressed by Sandaime-sama on the surface.

Root and the Anbu came from the same source, and in the original structure of the Anbu, Root was the place where the reserve members of the Anbu gathered, and was responsible for providing fresh blood to the Anbu. After Danzō took over, Root gradually changed from a subordinate department to an independent department.

If people questioned Root, they would also question the loyalty of Konoha Anbu. If Root, the symbol of the seed, was rotten, then what about the fruit it bore?

"Danzō's matter can't be defined as a rebellion."

Once the news of Konoha's coup was leaked, it would be a huge blow to Konoha that hasn't recovered from the shadow of war.

Several people present exchanged looks, and they had an answer in their hearts.

Regarding the battle that happened last night in the Uchiha land, Konoha finally gave an official answer. The elite forces of Mist and Sand jointly attacked Konoha, but they were discovered by the Uchiha, and Konoha Ninjas quickly supported them. The two sides fought fiercely at the border, and finally, the Uchiha lost a lot of clansmen in order to wipe out the enemy.

At the same time, the Land of Fire strongly condemned the Mist and the Sand, and their relationship with the Land of Wind and the Land of Water fell to the freezing point.

Root, which was entrenched in a corner of Konoha, disappeared without a trace.

The work of incorporating Root went very smoothly. First of all, the elders who were close to Danzō fell into silence after Danzō lost power, and they were afraid that Naruto would suddenly remember them, so they were currently in a state of closed door.

The members of Root who were close to Danzō died as early as that day, and most of the rest were still children who were still in training.

"What a sin."

Leopard Cat and Uchiha Shisui, who had just finished the eye transplant surgery, came to a training ground, and there were several children standing in the center of the field. Leopard Cat pointed to a group of children below and said, "Before you recover, you can use some light and heat. Here, these children are yours."

Shisui: "…"

No one was more skilled than Leopard Cat in torturing the members of Root and exploiting their surplus value.

However, Uchiha Shisui had been in Root for a long time, and it would be better for him to lead these children who grew up in Root.

"You're now a recorded dead man, and your name is engraved on the memorial tablet. How about it? Have you thought about what you'll do in the future?"

A certain Black Ops captain said sincerely to Shisui, "I think you're quite talented at backstabbing and diving. Do you want to come to the Black Ops with me?"

Shisui rolled his eyes. "Can you not mention diving?"

After he woke up, Sandaime-sama had told him that Uchiha Shisui was originally recorded as dying, but this person beat him to it and wrote his name on the memorial tablet in Konoha.

Now, whether he wanted to die or not, he was already a dead man.

"No, no, no. You're the ninja with the best diving posture I've ever seen. You're blind and injured, yet you're still alive after drifting all the way from the top of Naka River to the bottom of the river." Tanuki smiled kindly. "Our Anbu department lacks talents like you."

“.....”

Uchiha Shisui choked on his words, and vaguely foresaw his future.
