Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Kakashi Hatake..." Danzo Shimura listened to A's report with a gloomy expression.

A's judgment was completely correct in Danzo Shimura's opinion. As long as Kakashi was willing to cooperate, he could have taken down Fugaku and his son.

Then A brought Shisui back to the root organization, so that he could seize the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that can control thinking, but all such good opportunities were destroyed by Kakashi.Danzo hated Kakashi so much in his heart, and the trace of goodwill he had towards Sakumo disappeared at this moment.

Just when Danzo was thinking about what to do next, a root member appeared and reported to him that the Fifth Hokage Hatake Sakumo was coming with ANBU.

Danzo's squinted eyes opened, and he wondered why Hatake Sakumo appeared at the Root Organization base now, knowing that his son Kakashi had just had friction with his Root Organization a few days ago.

"Invite him to come in." After a moment of silence, Danzo waved to his men to let him go.

After a while, Hatake Sakumo, wearing Hokage costumes, slowly walked into the main hall under the protection of ANBU.

Danzo was still sitting in his seat without any intention of greeting the Hokage. This was undoubtedly a very disrespectful behavior.

Danzo glanced at the six ANBU beside Sakumo, but did not find Kakashi's white-haired figure.Danzo, who originally planned to use the topic as an excuse, gave up the idea, and then snorted coldly: "Sakumo, I wonder what you have to do with me? If there is nothing important, please come back."

Hatake Sakumo slowly took off the Hokage hat and said with an indifferent expression: "Danzo, I wonder if the destruction of the Uchiha clan is an important matter?"

"What! You..." As soon as Hatake Sakumo's words came out, Shimura Danzo stood up with a look of astonishment on his face. He never imagined that this sentence would come out of Hatake Sakumo's mouth.

"What do you mean..." Danzo was a little confused about the fifth generation Hokage's thoughts. He suppressed the surprise on his face and returned the question to Hatake Sakumo in a deep voice.

Hatake Sakumo is naturally under the control of Uchiha Obito, and now it is equivalent to Obito talking to Danzo himself.The illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot be detected by ordinary ninjas. Only ninjas with pupil techniques such as Sharingan and Byakugan can detect it. This is also an important reason for not bringing Kakashi this time.

Danzo did have a private Sharingan on his body at this time, but the Sharingan was hidden by the bandage and was not used on Hatake Sakumo, so he could not detect the abnormality.

However, A, who had the first-generation cells on the side, noticed something unnatural from Sakumo Hatake. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not say it in public. After all, it seemed that Sakumo Hatake had not shown any malicious intent towards the root tissue.

"Danzo, there's no need to hide it, you have the same idea, don't you?" Hatake Sakumo smiled lightly, looking at Shimura Danzo with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"A, please take a seat for the Fifth Generation." Danzo looked at Hatake Sakumo expressionlessly for a moment, and then said calmly to A beside him.

A immediately used Wood Release to create a wooden chair behind Hatake Sakumo, and sat him down according to Danzo's instructions.

Shimura Danzo has now put aside his previous dissatisfaction with Hatake Sakumo. Now Sakumo's stance is enough to gain Danzo's attention. Judging from Danzo's change in his title, the two can already discuss this matter carefully. It's an "important matter".

Uchiha Obito, who was hiding in the dark, curled his lips. It seemed that the progress on his side was going very well.

Hatake Sakumo and Shimura Danzo held a secret meeting, which lasted all night.

......

Four days later.

Uchiha Shisui's fainting after the battle with Shimura Teru was caused by excessive eye use and excessive chakra consumption, so apart from a decrease in vision, there were no major physical problems.

Shisui regained consciousness as early as the early morning of the next day, and within the next two days, Shisui accepted the interrogation and investigation of the ANBU.

Zhisui did not lie and conceal the experience. Zhisui gave a rough description of everything from the dinner party he and others had to the battle with Teru Shimura.It was just that some key information such as Susanoo and others were hidden. After the ninja observation of Konoha Anbu's polygraph department found no signs of Shisui lying, they made some hasty records and let Shisui go.

After all, the Uchiha clan has been putting pressure on the Anbu interrogation department from outside. Shisui was really difficult to deal with, so after confirming that he was not lying, Anbu gave Shisui his freedom as soon as possible.

The Uchiha clan's Nanga River.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Shisui stood at the edge of the cliff beside the Nanhe River and stared at the flowing waterfall, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Swish!

Uchiha Itachi, wearing Anbu armor, appeared behind Shisui, slowly took off his mask and walked behind Shisui.

"Shisui, do you have anything to do with me?" Itachi asked doubtfully.

"Itachi, do you think our Uchiha clan still has a future?" Shisui didn't look back, his tone a little lonely.

"Sorry, I tried to mention this to my father recently, but his attitude was tougher than I thought. It seems that the coup of the clan will not be undone so easily."

Itachi recalled that he and his father had been unhappy two days ago, and his father, who had always been more open-minded, seemed to have fallen into the narrow-minded thinking of the clan. Itachi wanted to get answers from Shisui about where Uchiha would go in the future.

"This can't be blamed on the clan leader. As a clan leader, he is just doing his duty. After all, he thinks about problems based on his position."

After a pause, Shisui's tone began to become deeper: "The rebellion of all members of the clan is not so easy to undo. Everyone's will is stronger than we imagined..."

"Do you have an idea?" Itachi probably understood after hearing this. Zhisui didn't come to complain to him. Itachi, who knew Zhisui well enough, knew that the other party had already had an idea.

"Ah... I started thinking about it after fighting that guy last time. Now I have decided that I can no longer sit idly by and do nothing. I want to give it one last try." Uchiha Shisui said calmly.

"But aren't your other gods afraid of those people? They won't be willing to talk to you!" Itachi frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, not expecting the effort Shisui said.

Shisui took out a scroll from his pocket and signaled Itachi. There was a circle drawn with ink on the scroll, and the word "root" was written in the circle.

"Root Organization?! Do you want to negotiate with Danzo?" Itachi looked shocked and recognized the scroll as something from Root Organization at a glance because it had the mark of Root Organization on it.

Itachi felt anxious. He felt that Shisui might have been overwhelmed by the pressure. No matter how unwise he was, he couldn't go to the Root Organization for cooperation. Wasn't this asking for death?

"Itachi, listen to me. This is my last chance, I have no choice!" Shisui smiled bitterly, how could he not know that the root tissue is the den of a dragon and a tiger, and if you go in, you may not be able to get out, but for The Leaf Village and the Uchiha clan could coexist, and he was willing to give it a try.

"Shisui..."

Itachi wanted to persuade again, but he didn't know how to persuade. After all, this was Shisui's own will, and no one could change what Shisui had decided.
