Damn it, you got a good deal.

"Lord Hokage, there is one more thing to report."

Kakashi lowered his head and continued.

"We found a large number of corpses in the forest outside the Uchiha clan grounds. After identification, they were all wearing Anbu uniforms.

However, there haven't been any more mobilizations of Anbu personnel tonight. I'm afraid they are…"

"Yes, I understand. It's Danzo's people."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded directly. The appearance of Root there was not surprising at all.

After all, Danzo and Itachi Uchiha colluded with each other to attack the Uchiha clan, so naturally someone needed to watch.

But just thinking about how so many people from Root died again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. For a moment, he didn't know if this was good news or bad news.

Of course, this wasn't bad news for Shūzawa. If nothing unexpected happened, all those who went there this time were Danzo's loyalists.

If all these people died, it would be a good thing for him!

"Thank you, Kakashi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know what Shūzawa was thinking, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"I still need you to continue working hard next. I'm really sorry."

"It's nothing, Lord Hokage. This is what I should do."

Kakashi shook his head, and then respectfully said.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Lord Hokage."

With that, he turned to leave, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi to rub his brows in place.

"I didn't expect this matter to be so big this time. It's really shocking."

Koharu Utatane stood behind and couldn't help but sigh after watching Kakashi leave. Homura Mitokado also shook his head beside her.

"Danzo was tricked by Itachi Uchiha this time, but Itachi Uchiha is really good at deceiving people. Everyone was deceived by him."

"However, Shūzawa, you performed very well."

Koharu Utatane turned her head to look at Shūzawa. She originally wanted to speak with a superior attitude.

After all, she was still a high-level member of Konoha, but recalling that earth-shattering sword, that move that seemed to directly cut through the darkness with majestic divine power.

As well as Tsunade, who was sitting aside and didn't speak, but was constantly showing her identity, she finally softened her tone a little.

"The Uchiha didn't rebel. This is good for everyone, but it's a pity for Danzo…"

"Don't mention Danzo. He brought it upon himself. I told him not to go too far a long time ago, but he never listened!"

Speaking of Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also full of anger. Homura Mitokado didn't want to participate in it, and he immediately changed the subject.

"Alright, let's not talk about him. It's good for all of us that he's temporarily gone, but Third Hokage, you need to know that we can't be without Root.

In addition, the Uchiha's matter also needs to be handled properly. Although everyone now knows it was Danzo and the Akatsuki.

But public opinion still needs to be guided. After all, his collusion with Itachi Uchiha to attack the Uchiha will arouse the fear of the major families."

It has to be said that this Homura Mitokado has some skills. He can naturally see how terrible the subsequent impact of this matter will be.

But this is also normal, after all, this time is greatly different from what Shūzawa remembers.

This time, the damage caused is even greater, and it also forced Danzo to admit his connection with Itachi Uchiha.

It can be said that if it is not handled well, the trouble will be even greater!

"That's right, I propose that Tsunade or Jiraiya temporarily take over as the leader of Root."

Koharu Utatane spoke directly, but Tsunade was immediately angry.

"What are you talking about? I'll temporarily take over Root? Just go find Jiraiya, don't drag me into it!"

Tsunade obviously hated these things very much. Although she came from a wealthy family, she knew the importance of Root.

But she wasn't even interested in the Hokage position, so how could she be interested in Root?

"Tsunade, now is not the time for you to be willful."

Koharu Utatane frowned and spoke subconsciously, but Tsunade directly interrupted her.

"Don't lecture me. You guys caused this, so stop pointing fingers at me. I said I don't want to, so I don't want to!"

"You…"

Koharu Utatane seemed to underestimate Tsunade's anger, which made her particularly embarrassed for a while.

Looking around, she felt helpless again, because Hiruzen Sarutobi was holding a smoking pipe and didn't say a word at this time, and Homura Mitokado lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Lord Hokage."

However, just at this moment, Shūzawa suddenly spoke.

"How about, let me try?"

"You?"

Koharu Utatane's squinting eyes widened, and Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked at Shūzawa with some surprise.

In his mind, this young man with the power of the First Hokage and the skills of the Second Hokage was destined to be one of the candidates for Hokage in the future.

Letting him go to Root seemed a little inappropriate, right?

In fact, from the moment Shūzawa showed his Wood Release, Hiruzen Sarutobi already had the intention of training Shūzawa to become the Hokage's successor.

It's just that Shūzawa was too young. Even now, he was only sixteen years old. No matter how you looked at it, this age was not suitable.

You have to know that the youngest Fourth Hokage was also in his twenties when he took office. You can't have a sixteen-year-old Hokage, right?

"Lord Hokage, I actually think I'm the most suitable candidate."

Shūzawa didn't know what he was thinking. Who said that to control Konoha you must become Hokage? He nodded to Tsunade, who was full of astonishment, and then continued.

"I originally came from Root and know all the problems within Root. If it was before, maybe I wouldn't have this idea.

But this time, the Root has suffered setbacks, it seems a large number of personnel have been killed, and Danzo-sama has temporarily left the Root. I think this will be an opportunity to change the Root!”

What is the Root?

According to Konoha's system and institutions, compared to the system across the ocean before Hidekawa's transmigration, this is basically the CIA!

The Anbu is the FBI, specializing in internal affairs, and the Root is the CIA, specializing in external affairs.

Although Danzo has been overstepping his authority and often doing things internally, Hidekawa will not. He never intended to develop the Root within Konoha.

Striking out externally is the best choice!

Besides, the Root is seen by him as 'Danzo's legacy'. As 'Danzo's most loyal subordinate', he should inherit this 'legacy'!

“Moreover, this is also an opportunity for me. My dream has always been to become Hokage.”

Hidekawa saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi was still thinking, and he continued with a smile, now is the time for the 'Child Hokage Dream'.

“But I know that to become Hokage, I must increase my own abilities, whether it is management ability or a change in the understanding of the village.

These all require process and experience. The Root is buried deep underground, no one knows it is me, and I will not let others know my identity.

But in this process, I can carefully observe the operation of Konoha, and accumulate experience in managing a large department.

At the same time, I can also try my best to change some of the problems within the Root, so I hope Hokage-sama can give me such an opportunity!”

“Is that so?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up a little. Hidekawa's words were somewhat to his liking.

Especially Hidekawa's desire for Hokage, and the fact that he clearly knew not to expose himself, so as not to become as annoying as Danzo, this is much better than Danzo!

However, the Root is, after all, an important position. Even if he has already decided in his heart, he does not intend to agree directly.

“I understand, I will consider it, and I will give you an answer within three days.”

“Thank you, Hokage-sama.”

Hidekawa nodded with a smile, he knew that this matter was definitely stable!

It's a pity that Danzo is not here, otherwise he would have wanted to appreciate Danzo's changing face at this time.

However, even if Danzo is not here and can't add some fun to him, he doesn't care.

After all, this time, he has made a big profit!

Chapter 128 Yin-Yang Release Chakra Mode?

“What are you thinking? You actually want to go to the Root?”

After leaving the Hokage Building, Tsunade, who had been holding back from saying too much to Hidekawa, finally couldn't hold back anymore. She stared directly at Hidekawa and asked in a low voice.

“Since you know what kind of place that is, why do you still want to go back? Are you out of your mind!”

“Teacher, I know what I am doing.”

Looking at Tsunade like this, Hidekawa was actually a little speechless. How disgusting is this Root?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that Hidekawa himself is extremely disgusted with the Root. When he was training inside, he couldn't wait to burn it to ashes!

Moreover, not to mention the training, the Root's business scope basically does not have anything that any normal person would like.

Assassination, kidnapping, stealing information, subversion operations, as long as it is something that bad people do, the Root will directly flock to it like a fly encountering dung.

It would be strange if anyone liked such a broken organization.

“You know? You know and still want to inherit the Root?”

Tsunade rolled her eyes, she said helplessly to Hidekawa.

“If you really want to experience it, there are positions you can choose from. You have to remember that you are not alone. I and Jiraiya will be your backing.

As for those elders, ignore them. Although they are very reliable at critical moments, they are just a bunch of idiots who only know how to show off on weekdays.

As long as you want, I can find a way to recommend you. It's better to stay by the old man's side, why go to the Root?”

Not going to the Root, how will those Uchiha be settled?

Hidekawa complained in his heart, but he still shook his head with a smile.

“I appreciate the teacher's kindness, but this time I am returning to the Root not only for my own ideas, but more importantly for the teacher.”

“For me?”

Tsunade was a little confused, and Hidekawa nodded with a smile.

“Hasn't the teacher been looking for the connection between the Uchiha and Senju clans, but many materials may not be found completely in Konoha.

Then, what kind of department in Konoha can collect information externally, and which department has secret bases all over the ninja world.
