Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 78 Danzo is a man of great talent, with a clear mind and exceptional abilities!

Hiashi Hyuga, clinging to his last hope, looked at the Third Hokage, his attitude self-evident.

The Third Hokage exhaled a smoke ring, his aged face etched with helplessness and heaviness: "Hiashi, I know you're upset. But there's no other way right now. Kumogakure is coming on strong, and Konoha needs time to recover. For the sake of the village's peace and stability, sometimes difficult choices must be made."

"I didn't expect even you to say that!"

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Hiashi Hyuga felt utterly disheartened.

The last glimmer of light in his white eyes went out, and an indescribable disappointment spread from the depths of his heart.

Is this the village leader he protected his whole life?

This is Konoha, the village to which the Hyuga clan has served for generations.

Faced with the despicable acts of foreign enemies, their first thought was to sacrifice their own guardians to appease the situation?

The prophecy from Shenyue echoed in his ears, causing his blood and qi to surge and making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He spoke, his voice carrying a weary resignation mixed with a resolute determination: "Since that's the case, for the sake of the village, I'll sacrifice myself!"

At that moment, Shingetsu suddenly spoke, interrupting Hiashi Hyuga.

"Wait, Chief Hiashi. Who says there's no other way? I do have a good idea that can both save Chief Hiashi's life and resolve this crisis."

Upon hearing Shingetsu's words, Danzo and his two advisors were about to launch into another sarcastic remark.

Danzo glared with his one eye: "Hmph, you Uchiha brat, who gives you the right to spout nonsense here? What good ideas do you have?"

Koharu, who was turning the dorm, also said with a stern face: "Shingetsu, this is a serious matter, don't speak carelessly."

Mitokado Homura shook his head: "Even the Third Hokage thinks this is a problem, what good solution do you have?"

"Kamizuki, this is a serious matter, don't talk nonsense!" The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, also spoke up to advise him.

"Third Hokage, I do have a suggestion that can definitely resolve the current crisis!" Shingetsu shrugged helplessly at the Third Hokage.

"Oh, you really have a way? Tell me about it!" The Third Hokage's eyes flickered slightly.

He knew that although this Uchiha boy acted outrageously, he was often capable of doing amazing things and was also very meticulous.

His initiative at this moment suggests he might genuinely have a different perspective.

Shen Yue immediately said, "The logic is simple. If Kumogakure can kidnap people from Konoha, why can't we kidnap people from Kumogakure?"

The office fell silent as soon as he said that.

He glanced around at everyone and continued, "If we also kidnap an important figure from Kumogakure, such as their Jinchūriki, we can not only weaken Kumogakure's strength but also make them hesitant to act rashly against Konoha. If they dare to use the death of the messenger as a pretext, we'll have a hostage, and that way, the current crisis can be resolved!"

Everyone was shocked by Shingetsu's suggestion. Kidnap a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure?!

This idea is absolutely insane! Jinchuriki are the ultimate weapon of every ninja village, holding a special status and heavily guarded. The difficulty and risk involved are hundreds or thousands of times greater than kidnapping people from the heavily guarded Hyuga clan territory within Konoha!

Danzo immediately retorted, "Absurd! The two Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, Killer Bee (Eight-Tails) and Yugito (Two-Tails), are both incredibly powerful. They are constantly protected by elite Kumogakure ninja and are located deep within the village's defenses. How could they be so easily defeated? Do you think you're like the Yellow Flash, able to come and go as you please?"

"Kamizuki, you're absolutely delusional!"

"This plan?!" The two advisors were stunned by this audacious, almost reckless, plan.

Koharu Utatane shook her head repeatedly: "Nonsense! This will only escalate the conflict and push the situation to the brink of an irreversible war! If Kumogakure discovers that we intend to kidnap their Jinchuriki, it will be the fuse for a full-scale war!"

Mitokado Homura added, "This plan is too risky, and the chance of success is extremely slim. If it fails, Konoha will suffer the most insane retaliation from Kumogakure."

"Hmph, a bunch of cowardly cowards!"

Hearing their words, Shen Yue sneered inwardly, but her expression remained unchanged. She retorted, "So, according to your methods, handing over the corpse of the Hyuga clan leader to Kumogakure as an explanation will truly bring peace?"

His sharp gaze swept over Danzo and the two advisors: "Kumakuha is insatiable. They succeeded this time, but will they demand even more next time? For example, will they directly ask for the Byakugan bloodline limit? In that case, will Konoha continue to sacrifice members of the Hyuga branch family, or will they hand over the entire Hyuga clan?"

"This kind of compromise and concession will only make every clan in Konoha feel insecure! Today they can sacrifice the Hyuga, but tomorrow can they sacrifice the Uchiha, Nara, and Akimichi? In that case, who will still feel a sense of belonging and loyalty to such a village? Konoha will collapse without a fight if its people are divided!"

These words carried weight and silenced the office once again.

"Well said, as expected of someone from the Uchiha clan!" Fugaku secretly praised Shingetsu in his heart.

The Uchiha clan desperately needs people with such sharp tongues.

"Kamizuki!" Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light rekindled in Hiashi Hyuga's eyes.

Even the Third Hokage fell into deep thought.

"Hmph, even so, who should we send? Should we send your Uchiha clan to carry out the mission?" Danzo continued to mock.

"I'm going on a mission, what are you dreaming about?"

Upon hearing Danzo's words, the murderous intent in Shingetsu's eyes intensified.

He looked at the Third Hokage and said, "Third Hokage, this matter is of great importance and cannot be discussed with words alone. I request that you personally issue an order to dispatch elite ninjas from the Root organization to secretly infiltrate Kumogakure and carry out the mission of 'kidnapping the Two-Tails Jinchuriki'."

"What? You mean Paigen?" Everyone else was stunned.

"good!"

"Lord Danzo is a man of great talent, with a clear mind and exceptional abilities. He single-handedly built Root, making it a force to be reckoned with in the ninja world!"

"He's the most suitable person!"

"Besides, hasn't Lord Danzo always emphasized that Root operates in the shadows for Konoha, handling shady matters? This is a perfect opportunity for Root to showcase their skills and perform unparalleled feats for Konoha. Having Root's elite, skilled in infiltration, assassination, and intelligence, handle the operation is surely more reliable than sending a ten-year-old like me, right? Or perhaps…?" Shingetsu's eyes darted around, a mocking glint in them as she looked at Danzo: "The Root under Lord Danzo's command isn't actually as powerful as the legends say. They couldn't even infiltrate Kumogakure, create chaos, or find an opportunity to kidnap a Two-Tails that isn't a perfect Jinchuriki?"

"Who says I can't do it? It's just that it's happening now!" Danzo tried to argue.

However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seemed to think that Shingetsu's words made a lot of sense.

He nodded.

He looked at Danzo: "In that case, Danzo, let your Root unit be the one to act!"
