Chapter 98 Danzo’s Operations

"Are you saying that there are traces of the Sharingan in Kyuubi's eyes?"

Danzo Shimura said expressionlessly after listening to the report.

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

"The process of the Kyuubi's eyes changing from vertical pupils to round pupils shows traces of the Sharingan. This is seen with our own eyes by the dark lines at our roots."

Wearing a black tights, an off-white overalls, and a red patterned human mask on his face, the Anbu ninja knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

The uniforms of Konoha's ANBU are very similar to those of the Roots. They generally wear black tights underneath, a gray-white suspender top, and black tights underneath. The right thigh is usually wrapped with a bandage.

It's just that most of the masks of Anbu ninjas are based on animals, while the masks of Root ninjas are more diverse and not limited to animals.

However, it is not possible to accurately judge based on the difference in masks alone. It is not difficult for a root ninja to impersonate an ANBU ninja, and vice versa.

To be precise, it can't be regarded as impersonation. It is basically the training department of ANBU and is nominally affiliated with ANBU.

After receiving the confirmation, Danzo's face became very gloomy and he said coldly: "What is the police department doing now?"

"My subordinates rushed over as soon as they got the news and needed to investigate."

"Go immediately."

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the root ninja disappeared into the dim root base, and Danzo stood there with his eyes closed to rest.

About a minute later, the root ninja reappeared in front of Danzo and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord Danzo, we have found out everything."

"The police department ninjas are evacuating the villagers in the village, but the police department jounin are generally not present, and only a few jonin are leading the team."

"Hmph..."

Danzo opened his eyes and sneered: "It seems that the police department wants to support the Kyuubi battlefield and cannot let them succeed."

"Sharingan appears in Kyuubi's eyes, Uchiha is very suspicious."

"Immediately send someone to convey my order. Let Fugaku do his job and not get involved in the Kyuubi matter."

"yes."

"In addition, call all root ninjas and wait for my order."

"yes."

After the root ninja left, Danzo murmured to himself: "This may be an opportunity..."

He lost his power because of the rise of the fourth generation.

If he can lead the root ninja to reverse the situation and solve the Kyuubi at a critical moment, then he will have made a great contribution.

In this case, would the fourth generation have the nerve not to restore his position as elder and root minister?

If you ask Hiruzen to say something nice again, it will definitely happen!

However, the support cannot be too fast. The Kyuubi's strength is too strong. They must wait for Hiruzen and the Fourth Generation to bring people to consume the Kyuubi.

If the support is given too early, not only will it fail to play a decisive role and thus achieve great success, but it may also affect his family fortune...

After making up his mind, Shimura Danzo left the root headquarters and went to the top of Konoha Back Mountain to overlook the Kyuubi that was raging in the village, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

As for the fourth generation being killed in battle, Danzo never thought about this possibility.

After all, the name "Yellow Flash" is famous in the ninja world. When it comes to saving lives, Danzo doesn't think anyone in the ninja world can compare to him...

Sacrifice for the village?

Just talk about this kind of thing verbally, but as a last resort, when you really can't survive, which superior person would do it?

…

On the other side, Uchiha Gen has summoned most of the jounin of the Uchiha clan and gathered in the courtyard of the Fugaku family, a total of twenty-two people.

These jounin are all young and strong men, like Uchiha Setsuna and the two elders, who are over fifty and lead the evacuation of the police department ninjas to protect the villagers.

Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader's wife at the Jonin level, also went to evacuate and protect the villagers on behalf of Fugaku.

"The village is being ravaged by the Kyuubi. As a member of the village, and as the most powerful family in Konoha, we, the Uchiha clan, should fight in the most dangerous places!"

"For the honor of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Fugaku Lee gave an impromptu speech and then raised his right hand and said.

"For the honor of the Uchiha clan!"

The jounin of the Uchiha clan was not afraid at all when they heard that they were going to fight the Nine-Tails. Other ninjas dared to do so. What did they not dare to do?

Therefore, all the Jonin of the Uchiha clan raised their right hands and responded loudly, including Gen and Shisui.

"Set off!"

After giving the order, Fugaku took the lead, and the other jounin immediately followed.

They were all jounin, and they were traveling very fast. Black shadows flew through the dark night at high speeds, leaving only afterimages...

After leaving the clan and crossing several areas, a root ninja suddenly appeared in front of everyone and shouted coldly, his voice as cold as frost, without any emotion.

"He who comes is stopped!"

Fugaku made a gesture when he heard this, and everyone stopped immediately.

"Are you a ninja at your core?"

As the leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku would naturally not be unable to tell the difference between root ninjas and ANBU ninjas.

"yes."

"Danzo-sama ordered that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are prohibited from approaching the Kyuubi. They only need to do their job of evacuating and protecting the villagers!"

When everyone heard this, they were in a bad mood and showed dissatisfaction. Why should they not be allowed to participate in the war?

In front of the core members of the clan, Uchiha Fugaku would naturally not retreat with just one sentence, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"reason?"

"There were traces of the Sharingan in Kyuubi's eyes." The root ninja said coldly.

"What?"

"how come?"

"impossible!"

"You must have seen it wrong!"

"..."

Everyone was in an uproar, their faces full of disbelief.

Uchiha Fugaku was shocked and felt something bad in his heart. How could there be traces of Sharingan in Kyuubi's eyes?

Since Uchiha Madara left, no one in the Uchiha clan can control the Nine-Tails. That is simply not something that ordinary Sharingan can do.

Is it possible that someone in the Uchiha clan has secretly awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Fugaku had no idea that only eyes above the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could control the full version of the Kyuubi, and thought that only the Mangekyō Sharingan could do it.

"That's true. More than one ninja present saw it, so you guys go back immediately!"

The root ninja said coldly, maintaining a tone that seemed unchanged for thousands of years.

Uchiha Fugaku was already confused at this time. Hearing the persecuting words of the root ninja, he couldn't help but flinch and said: "Okay, we will..."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Minister."

Upon seeing this, Gen Uchiha immediately interrupted Fugaku.

"Xuan, do you have anything to say?"

The other ninjas of the Uchiha clan also set their sights on Gen Uchiha.

Uchiha Gen looked around and said solemnly: "Everyone, are there any ninjas in our Uchiha clan who are not here tonight?"

Some of the smarter Uchiha jounin heard this and immediately understood Uchiha Gen's intentions.

"All of my men are present, there is no absence."

"mine too."

"mine too."

"mine too."

"..."

The Uchiha jounin who was thinking about it quickly responded, and the other jounin who were more straight-minded also started shouting when they saw everyone was like this.

"Yes, all the ninjas from our Uchiha clan are here tonight. There is no one missing."

"So the villains who controlled the Kyuubi and attacked Konoha are definitely not members of our Uchiha clan."

"The attacker is likely to be the descendant of Madara Uchiha who once fled Konoha."

"Although the attacker also has Sharingan, what does it have to do with the Uchiha clan of Konoha?"

Uchiha Fugaku was so blessed that he immediately made a concluding speech to clarify his responsibilities.

The root ninja was unmoved and said coldly: "Whether you are Uchiha or not, you must retreat. This is Danzo-sama's order."

"Are you going to disobey Danzo-sama's orders?"

Fugaku, Shisui and other jounin of the Uchiha clan hesitated when they heard this.

The main Danzo is a companion of the Third Hokage. He has been a high-level assistant in Konoha for a long time, and the behavior of his subordinates is very strong and cruel, which is difficult to offend.

Of course, this is also related to Fugaku's character and situation. He is always unable to be tough at critical moments.

"Pooh!"

Suddenly, a loud angry roar sounded...
