Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

------Konoha 58th Year------

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was enjoying a moment of peace, occasionally taking a puff from his old pipe with a look of satisfaction.

But this rare leisure time was quickly broken by a sudden noise.

A figure, without even bothering to report, simply pushed open the door and barged in, coming in and out freely as if the core area of ​​Konoha had become a busy city.

Hiruzen's brows immediately twisted into a knot, and even when he saw clearly that the person coming was Danzo, his expression did not improve.

"Danzo, where have your rules gone?" Hiruzen asked indifferently, his tone full of displeasure.

Danzo seemed to be deaf to Hiruzen's dissatisfaction. He strode up to him and looked him straight in the eye:

"Hiruzen, have you noticed the Uchiha clan's recent movements?"

A look of helplessness flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, but considering their many years of friendship, he did not get angry.

"Of course I know."

As the Hokage, how could he not know about the Uchiha family's almost complete transformation? Shouldn't all this be a positive sign?

Danzo said gloomily: "With the usual style of the Uchiha, how could they do this for no reason? They must be hiding some unspeakable secrets behind them."

"Huruzen, we must take action!" Danzo seemed impatient.

He accidentally discovered that the combination of the power of Senju and Uchiha could open the door to everything in the world - the legendary Rinnegan!

Although he lost the Rinnegan in the Land of Rain, he witnessed the shocking scene of Nagato using its power. Even Hanzo, the famous demigod in the ninja world, was no match for him.

This made him covet it even more.

Now, research on Hashirama's cells has made progress through his secret collaboration with Orochimaru, the only thing missing is a large number of Sharingan for experimentation.

In peacetime, no one in the Uchiha clan sacrificed themselves, so naturally there was no way to obtain the Sharingan, and there seemed to be a rift within the Uchiha clan, which made Danzo feel that his plan was about to come to fruition.

However, the Uchiha Clan's sudden transformation has gradually improved their reputation in the village and calmed down the internal unrest, which greatly consternates Danzo.

What exactly caused such a huge change in the Uchiha family? Was it due to the guidance of an expert, or was there another mystery?

Regardless, the Uchiha's transformation wouldn't change his plans, no matter how good they became.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was not someone who could be easily fooled. He stared at Danzo and said, "Danzo, what exactly do you want to do? Konoha cannot afford any conflict right now."

"When the Uchiha were unstable, you had a problem with it; now that they are getting better, you still have a problem with it. Konoha can no longer bear any more turmoil."

Danzo narrowed his only exposed eye and said, "I know your concerns, but I have hired an organization called Akatsuki, whose members are all top rebel ninjas from various countries. We only need a small amount of compensation to drive them to serve us."

"They will block the prying eyes of the outside world for us, so that we can focus on dealing with the Uchiha problem."

Ironically, Akatsuki lost Yahiko due to Danzo's intervention, and now, they have to indirectly help him under Danzo's employment.

Fortunately, Danzo never showed up, and the Akatsuki organization did not know that their employer was from Konoha, otherwise Nagato would probably have directly ordered Tendo Pain to attack.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly, without saying a word.

"Huruzen, don't forget the Nine-Tails Rebellion six years ago. It was the Uchiha clan who was behind it. Haven't you figured out their intentions yet?"

Shimura Danzo added fuel to the fire and urged Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, without the support of the Hokage, it would be difficult to deal with the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, just held the old pipe in one hand and took a leisurely puff, but hesitation quietly crept into his brows.

Seeing this, Danzo raised the corner of his mouth into an intriguing smile.

Is your heart moving?

But at this moment, Hiruzen's eyes inadvertently swept across a photo on the table - it was a photo of him and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

In the photo, Minato was taking the Hokage hat from him, preparing to inherit the position of leader of Konoha.

only……

The Nine-Tails Rebellion six years ago took Minato's life away forever.

During his lifetime, Minato Namikaze had a close relationship with the Uchiha clan, and the clan leader of the Uchiha clan was his best friend.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen gently covered the photo, shook his head, and had an idea in his mind.

"Wait and see. Do not act rashly against the Uchiha unless it is absolutely necessary."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Shimura Danzo's smile come to an abrupt end, and it froze on his face, looking a little abrupt.

"Huruzen, what do you mean?!" Danzo asked in disbelief.

"We should wait for a while this time and see if the Uchiha have any repentance. If they still have ill intentions, it won't be too late to take action then."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm but extremely determined expression, Danzo knew that nothing he said could persuade his old friend.

"You're going to regret this, Hiruzen!"

Danzo gritted his teeth and said, then turned and left abruptly, leaving behind a cold remark:

"I'll handle it my own way."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he became furious and slammed his palm on the table.

boom!

"Danzo, don't forget, I am the Hokage!"

Danzo's repeated disregard for his authority had stretched his patience to its limit.

Danzo didn't respond, but just glared at him fiercely and left angrily.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, sat back down, and looked at the covered photo again.

"well……"

"Minato, this is the last time I will help the Uchiha..."

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now and go see Naruto."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer in the mood to handle official business. Danzo's visit completely ruined his mood. He changed into casual clothes and quietly went to look for Naruto.

Chat group

Uchiha Itachi: "That's about it. I plan to gradually improve the reputation of our Uchiha clan."

"We don't need to completely change the whole village's attitude towards us, as long as they stop being hostile to us. Then, my next plan can proceed smoothly."

He shared his plan in the group, which seemed to be a combination of Shinomiya Yutsuki's previous proposal and improved it to form a perfect plan that could greatly reduce Konoha's casualties.

Shinomiya Yutsuki: "What a great idea! As expected of someone who fights with wisdom, you came up with a solution so quickly. If Obito were to do it, he would probably be confused for a while."

Uchiha Obito: "Eh? Why do you involve me? Besides, I'm also very smart, okay?"

"By the way, why haven't those two spots come online yet? What do you think they are busy with?"

Shigong Youyue: "I guess they are busy fighting. After all, the flow of time is different. It may not be over yet on their end."

Uchiha Obito: "I thought they thought they were under a genjutsu and were trying to break it."

Shigong Youyue: "I'm not that stupid."

White Mask: "What kind of illusion is this? Kabuto, when did you do this to me?"

Shinomiya Yuzuki: “6.”

Uchiha Obito: "Yuzuki, you're embarrassed, look, here comes the illusionist brother."
