Chapter 392: Appointment Order of the Hokage Building

It took Jiraiya and Tsunade a few minutes to digest the news brought by Kakashi, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

No one expected that so many things would happen in the village on the eve of the Fifth Hokage election. First, Orochimaru attacked Tsunade, who was a candidate for Hokage, and almost killed her.

Then it was discovered that another candidate, Danzo, colluded with Orochimaru and chose to commit suicide after the matter was exposed.

After sorting out all the clues, Jiraiya and Tsunade finally understood that the intrigues in the village over the years were probably more cruel than they imagined.

For the position of Hokage, the Uchiha clan almost mobilized the power of the entire clan, but was brutally suppressed.

Not only were most of the clan members murdered by Uchiha Itachi, but the surviving Uchiha ninjas also became puppets of Shimura Danzo, and became Danzo's claws to attack the Third Hokage.

In order to obtain the position of Hokage, Danzo took the initiative to attack Shisui, deliberately intensified the conflict between Uchiha and the village, and prompted Uchiha to finally raise the temperament of rebellion.

After solving the Uchiha, Danzo directly pointed his spearhead at the Third Hokage.

By launching the Konoha Collapse Plan in conjunction with Orochimaru and Rasa, he successfully killed the Third Hokage and took the initiative to ask to participate in the election of the Fifth Hokage.

What is even more frightening is that after the Konoha Collapse Plan, Danzo still kept in touch with Orochimaru.

A few hours ago, he was still using Orochimaru as a sharp blade to seize the position of Hokage.

The Hokage is the leader who protects the Konoha Ninja Village. Only by being loved by everyone can he become a Hokage. If he ascends to the top through conspiracy and darkness, what can Danzo get even if he becomes a Hokage?

Jiraiya and Tsunade can't understand Danzo's thoughts. Perhaps they are not the same kind of people.

After collecting his thoughts, Jiraiya said to Kakashi: "Since Danzo has been killed, take us to the Root Base."

Kakashi nodded and stood in front to lead the way.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the Root Base. When they walked into the Root Base, they soon saw many Root Ninjas who had taken off their masks.

Due to Danzo's death, the Tongue-Destroying Root Seal of these Root Ninjas was lifted, and they could speak freely. They also looked up at Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Jiraiya saw several familiar faces and was shocked.

Then, under the leadership of the Uchiha Root Ninja, he visited the entire Root Base and had a basic understanding of the situation of the Root Organization.

After the Uchiha Clan's extermination night, the Third Hokage stopped financial support for the Root.

On the surface, this limited the size of the Root's personnel and the power of Danzo, the leader of the Root, making Danzo an elder who had lost power.

But in fact, the Root Organization took the opportunity of the Third Hokage stopping financial support to complete the destruction and then the establishment.

Completely got rid of the restrictions from the Third Hokage and became an organization within the structure of Konoha Ninja Village, but completely independent of Konoha Ninja Village.

So far, the Root Organization has developed into an organization of hundreds of people.

This includes most of the members of the original guard team, as well as a large number of civilian ninjas absorbed by the Root Organization. These people are active in various positions in Konoha and have been integrated with Konoha Ninja Village.

After listening to these reports, Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

What has the Third Generation Teacher been doing all these years? He actually didn't know the development of the Root Organization at all, or the Third Generation Teacher had known about the expansion of the Root Organization, but was powerless to do anything about it.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it shows that the Third Generation Teacher has lost control of the village.

At this moment, the two were actually somewhat fortunate that Danzo did not use the power of the Root Organization to deal with them, otherwise even if they could unite with Konoha Jonin to suppress Danzo, Konoha would be divided due to serious internal strife.

Konoha can no longer bear such a loss.

After gradually recovering from the shock, Jiraiya and Tsunade began to consider another serious problem, that is, how to deal with the root organization left by Danzo.

It is obviously not a good idea to label the Root Ninja as a traitor and put it on the wanted list.

But if the Root Organization is allowed to continue to exist, anyone who becomes the Fifth Hokage will be uneasy, and no ruler will allow a force that can threaten him to exist around him.

And the most critical thing is how to deal with the Uchiha Ninja in the Root Organization.

Before the Uchiha Night, the Uchiha was an unstable factor in the Konoha Ninja Village, but now it has become the object of sympathy for a group of senior ninjas.

It is too cruel for a clan to be massacred and all ninjas to become puppets and tools.

It is so cruel that the Blood Mist Village next door has to sigh and feel ashamed. After all, only the village where the Will of Fire was born can have such pure darkness.

If they continue Danzo's practice, they will undoubtedly become the next Danzo.

Konoha can no longer withstand the destruction of another Danzo. In this critical period, they must unite together to make the Will of Fire shine again.

How to manage the Root Organization?

After thinking hard, Jiraiya thought of a suitable candidate and said to Tsunade: "Tsunade, I have an idea about how to deal with the Root Organization."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and motioned for Jiraiya to continue.

Jiraiya nodded and expressed his thoughts: "Tsunade, the Root Organization cannot be disbanded at present. Most of the Root Organization ninjas are poor people who have been destroyed by Danzo, including the Uchiha group."

"What you said makes sense..."

As a descendant of Senju, Tsunade was born with a certain degree of hostility towards Uchiha, believing that Uchiha was unreliable and would go to extremes at any time because of the Sharingan.

But in this matter, Uchiha is undoubtedly the biggest victim, even more than the third generation teacher.

After a pause, Jiraiya continued: "Since the Roots cannot be disbanded for the time being, and a Ninja Village is needed to manage it on their behalf, I think Uchiha Shisui is the best candidate to be the next leader of the Roots."

"I don't agree!" Tsunade subconsciously shook her head in denial.

Jiraiya sighed softly, and then explained: "Tsunade, I know that it is very risky to let Uchiha assume the position of root leader, but Shisui is different from other Uchiha. His heart is full of love and the will of fire."

"Shisui once took the initiative to reveal the secrets of other gods to others, which proved his position and proved that he is a ninja worthy of our trust. We cannot doubt him like Danzo."

"Besides, we want and must give an explanation to these Uchihas who have been persecuted by the Hokage family."

"If Uchiha's normal demands cannot be met, similar things will still happen in the Konoha Ninja Village in the future, and all the previous lessons will be in vain."

Tsunade hesitated, but shook her head and said, "Have you forgotten other gods?"

Jiraiya nodded, and then said: "The other gods are indeed very terrifying. They can control Shisui for several years and make him Danzo's loyal dog. However, the other gods have disappeared into the ninja world with Danzo."

After hearing this, Tsunade's expression softened a lot and she began to seriously think about Jiraiya's proposal.

Jiraiya saw Tsunade's thoughts, and immediately brought out the examples of the first and second generation Hokages. Even during the reign of these two Hokages, they still gave Uchiha considerable benefits.

…

Early the next morning, an announcement was made in the Hokage Building.

The announcement announced that Danzo Shimura, the leader of the Root Organization, had launched a rebellion last night. Under the suppression of Jiraiya, Tsunade and other high-level officials in Konoha, a conspiracy was prevented from breaking out.

The elder vacancy left after Danzo's arrest was taken over by a senior member of the Roots.

Seeing this announcement, the entire Konoha Ninja Village became excited, sparking a heated discussion. Some people suspected that a power struggle broke out within the village, while others were concerned about whether it would affect Konoha's future. to myself.

After all, unlike ordinary ninjas, Danzo is a disciple of the Second Hokage and an elder who has served the village for decades. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard for half his life.

If even Danzo rebelled, who in the entire Konoha Ninja Village would not rebel?

Just when the Konoha ninjas thought that the matter would continue to expand, the Hokage Building was unexpectedly calm. Two advisors, Koharu and Mito Monobu, appeared and told Danzo's crimes personally.

With the endorsement of these two elders and confirmation that Danzo was dead, everyone felt relieved.

Danzo is dead when he dies. After the death of the Third Hokage, Danzo has no need to continue living. The older ninjas in the village have all heard of Danzo's reputation.

As long as the village can stabilize, it doesn't matter to them.

However, the senior member of the Root Organization who took over Danzo's position attracted a lot of attention, because this senior member of the Root Organization was named Uchiha Shisui.

Konoha ninjas are no strangers to Shisui's name.

But didn’t Uchiha Shisui disappear a few years ago? How could he suddenly become a high-level member of the Root Organization and succeed Danzo as the new leader of the Root Organization?

Could there be something ulterior happening in this? Makes people very curious.

After a while, several genin got a few pieces of information from the jounin who participated in last night's operation. After splicing them together, they knew the ins and outs of everything.

Danzo actually attacked Shisui, forcing Uchiha to move towards a coup.

After Uchiha Itachi attacked the Uchiha clan, Danzo secretly collected many unconscious Uchiha and controlled them into root puppets.

Danzo was actually involved in the recent sabotage of the Chunin Exams.

After the news was completely disseminated, it spread uncontrollably in all directions, giving birth to different ideas in the minds of different ninjas.

For the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clan, Danzo's death had little impact on them.

They have successfully supported the next Hokage, and as long as Konoha does not fall, their status will not change.

For the Hyuga clan, Danzo's death did not have much impact.

After so many vicious incidents, the Hyuga clan no longer dared to treat the Hyuga branch excessively, and even had plans and plans to abolish the caged bird.

For ordinary ninjas, it doesn't have much impact.

Who is Danzo? They have never been exposed to it before. Compared with these important things in the Ninja Village, they care more about whether the next commission is difficult and whether the reward is generous enough.

Soon, the news also reached the ears of the members of Team 7.

Sakura was surprised by the news of Danzo's downfall, but she didn't know much about Danzo. She just lamented that the village's top leaders had experienced another internal fight.

Naruto took advantage of the training to pull Sasuke to a hiding place, and said with a smile: "Sasuke, it seems that your clan brother has completely defeated Danzo. Next, you Uchiha can return to the ninja world. "

Sasuke nodded, but his expression was not too happy.

The culprit who ordered the attack on Uchiha was dead, but the ninja who actually did it still stayed outside the village and was at ease.

Naruto saw what Sasuke was thinking and said seriously:

"Sasuke, are you still going to Orochimaru? You don't need to take such a big risk. Your parents and relatives are still alive."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and said, "That's true, but I can never forgive him for what he did. I must kill him to get rid of my hatred."

"Naruto, don't you hate the masked man who killed your father? Don't you want revenge?"

Hearing this, Naruto's face seemed to be covered with frost, and the whole person was like a beast about to explode. He said in a low voice:

"Of course I remember, but I don't have that strength now."

Sasuke snorted coldly, and then said, "Then you have to hurry up. The masked man is also Bai Ye's enemy. If you can't grow up quickly, the masked man may be killed in advance."

After that, Sasuke himself was not in a good mood.

He and Naruto encountered the same dilemma. They never worried about their own revenge. They were worried that their enemies would be killed before they took revenge.

Naruto curled his lips and said, "Let's go early, don't die there, I also need to find a suitable teacher to hone my strength."

"No need for you to remind me, I'll leave today."

Sasuke responded lightly and then disappeared into the forest.

...

In the Root Organization base.

After the death of Danzo, the Root Organization did not change much, nor was it seriously affected.

The leader of the Root Organization is still Shisui, but Shisui used to be Danzo.

For this, all the Uchiha ninjas who stayed in important positions in the Root knew it well. A few old people who stayed during the Danzo period would not talk too much and go to Jiraiya to tell on him.

After all, they knew clearly.

The Root Organization, which is intertwined and has a huge influence in the Konoha Ninja Village, is just a subsidiary organization of another huge organization.

Jiraiya, Tsunade and the two advisory elders may be able to shake the Root Organization.

But they cannot shake the Akatsuki Organization behind the Root Organization, which rules half of the Ninja World Continent.

After walking to the cell deep in the Root base, Shisui opened the cell door and looked at the Third Hokage who was living a retirement life in the cell. Shisui left a scroll.

The Third Hokage picked up the scroll, which was actually a commission statement.

It recorded that according to the discussion of the Hokage Building, Uchiha Shisui would replace Shimura Danzo and become the new leader of the Root organization.

The moment Shisui saw that he was about to become the leader of the Root, the Third Hokage was stunned.

Uchiha Shisui's mouth corners slightly raised, showing a confident arc. The contest between the Hokage Building and the Uchiha Guard ended with Uchiha breaking into the Hokage system.
