If someone like him were placed on the front lines, very few would be able to threaten his existence.
On the contrary, keeping him at the front line will only allow him to continuously accumulate merits and prestige!
This is definitely not what Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and the others wanted to see.
"Well"
The Third Hokage took a few puffs of his pipe and nodded: "Fugaku definitely needs to be recalled! We all agree on that! So, what about the Uchiha on the front lines? Should they be recalled or sent to other battlefields?"
Currently, although there are no major battles on the battlefields of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, small-scale probing and covert struggles are constantly taking place.
If the Uchiha ninjas withdrawn from the Hidden Mist battlefield could be redeployed to the battlefields on both sides, it would greatly alleviate the pressure on the front lines on both sides.
But the same question remains: will this further enhance the Uchiha clan's reputation?
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Once the Uchiha members get to know the ninjas from other clans on the front lines, with their abilities, it won't be difficult for them to blend in with the ninjas from those clans.
On the front lines, absolute strength is paramount.
Such people are more respected, and people don't pay as much attention to their arrogance.
Upon hearing this, Danzo immediately said in a deep voice, "Let them split into two groups to support the battlefields of Kumogakure and Iwagakure!"
"But!"
Xiaochun, who had just switched dorm rooms, suddenly wanted to say something.
Mitokado Homura looked at Danzo meaningfully and said, "You mean..."
"Not bad!"
Danzo nodded with a cold smile: "Distribute them among the other Jonin leading the teams. While wearing down the enemy, deplete as much of the Uchiha's manpower as possible!"
"The dead Uchiha are the heroes of Konoha, that's why I'm talking about the Uchiha! Heh!!"
This way, you can achieve three goals at once.
Not only would it greatly weaken the Uchiha clan's forces, but it would also deplete the forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and provide Danzo with more opportunities to acquire the Sharingan.
Speaking of this, Danzo was very dissatisfied with Orochimaru at this time, even hating him!
Because the dozen or so Root ninjas he had sent to the Hidden Mist battlefield had all been wiped out; not a single one had escaped.
He sent people afterward, but they all disappeared without a trace.
Then, Danzo realized something was wrong and sent a message directly to Orochimaru, the commander-in-chief at the front, questioning him.
But the answer I received was that I didn't know.
Danzo instantly raised his suspicions about Orochimaru to the highest level.
He immediately concluded that Orochimaru was most likely responsible.
As for the purpose?
Is it for the Hokage position?
In short, he hadn't acquired many Sharingan before, and almost all of his stock was stolen by a mysterious person. He was also tricked by Orochimaru.
We need to find another way to get some Sharingan to satisfy his needs.
As for Orochimaru.
After returning victorious this time, Danzo will naturally settle accounts with him slowly!
Don't forget, he still has some dirt on Orochimaru!
Want to betray him? To compete with him for the Hokage position?
Danzo will make Orochimaru pay the price.
Chapter 191
"Isn't this a bad idea? After all, the Uchiha clan really did make great contributions to Konoha this time, didn't they?"
The third generation hesitated somewhat hypocritically.
This is due to his personality.
In addition, Yunxiao has performed very well in the past six months and has trained Asuma very well. If he really did that, the Third Hokage would feel a little bit guilty.
It seems I've let Yunxiao down a bit?
Danzo immediately objected, shouting, "Hiruzen, are you going to go easy on us again? Don't forget, suppressing the Uchiha clan was a policy set by our teacher!"
"The ninja forces in Konoha that you and I control have suffered heavy losses. If we allow them to continue accumulating power, are you sure we can suppress them?"
"Especially Uchiha Fugaku, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, was able to defeat the Six-Tails Jinchuriki single-handedly, and also killed a Kage-level shinobi from Kirigakure, not to mention countless Jonin and Chunin!"
"If we let him return with those Uchiha ninjas who have experienced blood and fire on the battlefield, can you guarantee that they won't develop rebellious intentions?"
In short, Danzo couldn't allow those Uchiha to return to Konoha at this time.
"Hey!"
The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and finally sighed, saying, "Alright! Let's do it your way! I'm not involved in this anymore! You can explain things to Fugaku, how about that?"
This third generation is really trying to shift the blame!
Unless I gave the order, this matter has nothing to do with me.
Over the years, whenever they encountered difficult or offensive situations, all three generations of Danzos would shift the blame to him.
"hehe!"
Danzo inwardly cursed the Third Hokage for his hypocrisy, but outwardly he nodded without hesitation and replied, "Alright! I'll be the villain! I'm the Darkness of Konoha! This is the most suitable thing for me."
"Let's do it this way!"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had no objections and immediately agreed.
Isn't it just about suppressing and weakening the Uchiha clan?
What's the big deal?
At this moment, Yunxiao, far away in his underground base, witnessed all these conversations through nano-monitoring. He immediately sneered, "What a clever scheme!"
"What a pity! These are all just wishful thinking! You have no chance!"
Yunxiao immediately instructed Honghou, "Honghou, forward the video to Fugaku! Make sure he understands his and the Uchiha's situation! And make proper arrangements for the Uchiha clan members over there, lest the losses become too great!"
"Make sure those tribesmen on the front lines clear their heads and become smarter!"
For the time being, the Uchiha clan members will still have to stay in the two battlefields for a while.
They can only return once things have settled down in Konoha.
Of course, halfway through, Yunxiao also decided to send two shadow clones to the two battlefields respectively.
Firstly, to protect their own people as much as possible; secondly, to make it easier to hunt down the Root members sent by Danzo!
This time, he's going to make Danzo lose another piece of flesh.
"Yes! Master!"
The Queen immediately accepted the order and directly communicated via satellite with a communication bracelet that Yunxiao had given to Fugaku, sending Yunxiao's words and previous surveillance footage directly to Fugaku.
"bump!"
After watching the video, Fugaku slammed his fist on the table, furious: "Damn it! This is outrageous!!"
"Third Hokage! Danzo! How dare you bully my Uchiha clan like this? Do you really think we're helpless?"
How could Fugaku not be furious at such behavior of not treating the Uchiha as human beings and discarding them after using them?
He had the heart to kill Danzo and the Third Hokage.
However, now was not the time to be angry. He took a deep breath and asked the Red Queen, "Your Majesty, how are the plans on Cloud Sky's side going? Will there be any problems?"
The Red Queen immediately replied, "Please rest assured! Everything is under Master's control!"
"My master told me to tell you! Currently, he has already won over Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and others! This plan is bound to succeed! All you need to do is cooperate with his plan!"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Fugaku's eyes lit up slightly, and he felt much more at ease: "Then I will await Yunxiao-kun's good news! At the same time, please tell him that I will take good care of the clansmen here!"
"Ok!"
Meanwhile, Minato secretly contacted Jiraiya and showed him all the evidence of Danzo's crimes.
This also includes things that three generations were involved in or tacitly approved of.
After reading it, Jiraiya's face darkened: "So, it's true that Tsunade's suspicions about the Senju clan and Nawaki were related to Danzo and our teacher?"
"Furthermore, it turns out that Danzo orchestrated Sakumo-senpai's affair, with the teacher's tacit approval! Why? Why is that?"
Is power really that important?
"Shouldn't the Hokage be the guardian of Konoha, protecting the villagers and making the village stronger? What have the teachers and the others been doing now?"
"Suppressing geniuses, eliminating dissidents, scheming against the Senju, Uchiha, and even Hyuga clans—all of these actions are undermining the foundation of Konoha!"
Jiraiya's eyes turned red.
Things shouldn't be like this!
This was not the teacher or Hokage he envisioned.
Minato's expression was also grim as he said, "So, the Third Hokage is no longer a qualified Hokage! Or rather, he was never qualified!"
"He may have done many good deeds for Konoha! But these are not enough to offset the crimes he committed against Konoha and the damage he caused!"
"teacher!"
At this point, Minato looked at Jiraiya with a solemn expression and said, "I need your help and support!"
"I want to become the Fourth Hokage! A true Hokage!"
"At the same time, I also hope that after I become Hokage, you will come and supervise me! Keep an eye on me!"
"If I stray from the righteous path of prioritizing Konoha's interests, can you remind me in time and stop me?
I saw the sincerity and determination in Minato's eyes.
·· ········
Jiraiya was infected too!
"Minato! You little brat!"
A sense of relief suddenly welled up in Jiraiya's heart.
At least, he also gained a good apprentice.
His apprentice is an upright successor to the Will of Fire.
They also possess a warm, kind, and selfless heart.
There is still hope for the future!
"it is good!"
Jiraiya's gaze gradually hardened, and he solemnly patted Minato on the shoulder, saying, "Your teacher supports you! And will be watching you! Minato! Be brave and go for it!"
"As long as you don't go astray, your teacher will always be your strongest support!"
"do not let me down!"
At this point, Jiraiya was completely disappointed with the Third Hokage and placed all his hopes for the revitalization of Konoha on Minato.
"Minato must be the child of prophecy! He must be!"
Jiraiya told himself this in his heart.
"Thank you for your trust, teacher!"
. .
Minato bowed deeply to Jiraiya.
Minato feels very fortunate to have such a virtuous and kind teacher who is willing to trust and support him.
"Hahaha!"
Upon seeing this, Jiraiya's gloom was largely dispelled. He smiled broadly, reached out to help Minato up, and his solemn expression vanished. He winked at Minato and asked, "So, what do you need me to do for you next?"
"You need other supporters, don't you?"
