Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization - #323 - Chapter 322 I want to live in the sunshine

When the Fourth Kazekage felt recognized as a rebel ninja, the Third Hokage, who was also one of the Five Kages, was staying in the Hokage Building, worried about the frontline war.

The war between Iwagakure and Konoha has been going on for three full months.

In the past three months, although there has been no large-scale head-on confrontation between the two sides, small-scale battles have never stopped, and the number of casualties every day continues to rise.

Regarding this situation of neither improvement nor inferiority, the Third Hokage desperately wanted to change something, but was helpless.

He wanted to summon jounin masters from all the major ninja clans to fight on the front line, but the major ninja villages always used various methods to evade, so he could only mobilize ANBU ninjas to rush to the front line, consuming the limited power of the Hokage family. .

The reason for such a problem is essentially that the ninja clan has lost trust in the Hokage Building.

After experiencing the Uchiha incident, the attitude of the major ninja villages towards the Hokage Building became subtle, and the reason was very simple.

The Senju and Uchiha families that founded Konoha back then don’t stay in Konoha much now.

Among them, the Senju clan was forced to integrate into the Konoha Ninja Village due to the consumption of the first and second ninja wars. The Uchiha clan was attacked by Uchiha Itachi and disappeared from the ninja world.

Regarding the encounter between the two major families, the major ninja clans in Konoha saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

They don’t want to be the second Senju, nor the second Uchiha. They refuse to send too many Jonin on the battlefield, and they refuse to get too much credit on the battlefield.

The third generation of Hokage could only acquiesce to the bad behavior of the major ninja clans, unless he wanted to offend all the clans.

After sighing slightly, the Third Hokage looked at the two latest information scrolls sent to him, opened them, and began to read them carefully.

The first scroll was sent from Sand Hidden Village, and it contained a lot of information.

The scroll records the information that the Fourth Kazekage sent people to assassinate the Jinchuuriki, colluded with the S-class rebel Orochimaru, and finally defected.

When seeing this information, the Third Hokage was stunned.

The information about Sunagakure Village is exploding one by one. How could Rasa, the Kazekage, send someone to assassinate the jinchuriki? Moreover, the one-tail jinchuriki should be Rasa’s youngest son.

As for Rasa colluding with Orochimaru, this should be a trivial matter to Sunagakure Village.

Orochimaru is a rebellious ninja of Konoha, not a rebellious ninja of Sunagakure Village. Although the two countries are in an alliance, the alliance is not something that many people really take seriously.

Could it be that Sunagakure Village has really figured it out and wants to completely become a vassal of Konoha?

The Third Hokage expressed doubts about this, but the most explosive news was not these two pieces of information, but the news that the Fourth Kazekage attacked the daimyo and then defected.

He simply couldn’t imagine the scene of Kazekage defecting, it sounded like a joke.

However, after reading all the information, the Third Hokage was finally able to understand what Sunagakure Village was doing. The reason why the Kazekage defected was not because of the assassination of the Jinchuuriki and collusion with Orochimaru, but because of the suspected assassination of the Third Kazekage.

To be fair, if news emerged in Konoha that he had assassinated Mr. Tobirama, his position as Hokage would not be secure.

Retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, the Third Hokage began to think about future diplomacy with Sunagakure Village.

In the case of the Fourth Kazekage’s defection, Sunagakure should be able to select an acting Kazekage soon. It may be an elite Jonin, or it may be his old friend Chiyo.

If it’s Chiyo’s, it’s easier to say. The newly appointed elite jounin will be able to figure out the specific ideas.

After putting down the first scroll, the Third Hokage took out the second scroll, which was stamped with a toad mark and was sent by Jiraiya from the front line.

After opening the scroll and scanning it for a few times, the Third Hokage had a helpless smile on his face.

Jiraiya sent good news. When the frontline encountered a major crisis, Tsunade appeared in the Konoha camp and became a medical ninja as a volunteer.

With the second of the Sannin taking charge, the situation on the front line has gradually stabilized.

I believe that it won’t be long before the Yanyin Village comes over for peace talks. After all, with the information that both sides are evenly matched, the war cannot continue.

Unless Iwagakure was prepared to die together, Ohnoki was not that stupid person.

However, according to Jiraiya, Tsunade still refused to return to the village. Tsunade was unwilling to see him, nor was she willing to return to Konoha, which had changed beyond recognition.

After writing the reply, the Third Hokage’s expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something, and issued an order to the ANBU next to him to summon Danzo.

After giving the order, the Third Hokage sighed softly.

Three months ago, he personally issued the order to disband the Roots, with the purpose of making all the major ninja clans in the village accountable and throwing the blame for the Uchiha genocide on Danzo.

And now, he wants to reboot the roots.

If you want to quickly end the war with Iwagakure, it is not enough to rely solely on the power of Tsunade and Jiraiya. You must rely on the power of Danzo and the roots.

Half an hour later, the Anbu returned to the office and said uneasily: “Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama, he refused to come to the Hokage Building, and also told you that the Roots have been disbanded and he has retired…”

“Danzo refuses to come to the Hokage Building, and he says that the Roots have been disbanded?”

The Third Hokage suspected that he had heard wrongly. Danzo had always been thinking about the position of Hokage. How could he disband the Roots? Even if he gave the order to disband the Roots, Danzo would not obey it.

The ANBU seemed to have read the Third Hokage’s thoughts, and then said: “Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama also asked me to tell you that he no longer wants to fight for the position of Hokage, nor does he want to continue to stay in the darkness.”

“In the remaining time, he wants to enjoy his life in the sun.”

Hearing this, the Third Hokage’s face became uncertain. He did not believe that Danzo would give up the position of Hokage. Rejecting him at this moment was just threatening him so that he could make more conditions.

But the root already possesses most of the power of the Hokage. If more power is given away, the root leader will be the real shadow hokage.

After pondering for a moment, the Third Hokage said with a cold face:

“Tell Danzo that he has done a good job and carried out the orders I gave him. Even so, he must serve as the leader of the root. From today on, he will stay in the village and take good care of himself.”

“Yes, Hokage-sama.”

After receiving the order, the ANBU ninja immediately left the Hokage building.

After the Anbu left, the Third Hokage’s face became extremely livid. Danzo was no longer willing to be his white glove. There were many people who were willing to be, and he had many subordinates who wanted to improve his status.

Without Danzo, he can still find the right people, and they can do a better job than Danzo, be more competent, and will not threaten him at critical moments.

His sons Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Kakashi are both good candidates.
