Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Hokage Building.

After walking into the door of the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage looked at the urgent information scroll sent by Jiraiya with an uneasy mood.

The Third Hokage has always been very concerned about the Kumogakure battlefield where Jiraiya is.

If the Kumogakure battlefield fails, Konoha will not just lose an ally. Iwagakure and Kirigakure who originally signed the peace agreement may be ready to take action.

Sunagakure and the other small countries will also begin to doubt whether Konoha has the strength to protect them, and have the idea of ​​​​breaking off the alliance.

That's why he sent Jiraiya as the front-line commander, letting Ino Shikacho, Uchiha, Hinata and other ninjas go to the battlefield.

Together, these ninjas accounted for almost half of Konoha's combat power, enough to wipe out several small country ninja villages.

But the Third Hokage was not sure whether he could defeat the Hidden Cloud Village.

Compared with the other three major ninja villages, Cloud Hidden Village did not lose many ninjas in the last ninja war.

The top combat powers include the Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, among others.

With the village currently losing its jinchūriki, Jiraiya and the ninja jonin may not necessarily be Kumogakure's opponents.

Fortunately, in the last report, the two-tailed Jinchuuriki had been defeated, and now only the most difficult AB combination was left.

Perhaps, we can only look forward to new developments from Danzo and Orochimaru.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage sighed softly and opened the information scroll in his hand.

After briefly glancing at the content on the scroll, the Third Hokage's face changed slightly. After rubbing his eyes to make sure he was not dazzled, he took a deep breath.

The information Jiraiya sent was so exaggerated that he thought it might be fabricated.

After reading the information scroll again, the Third Hokage took a deep breath and said to the ANBU ninjas around him: "Go and ask the consultant elders to come see me and tell me that the village will hold an emergency meeting."

After receiving the order from the Third Hokage, the two-person team of advisors quickly rushed to the Hokage Building, and Danzo, the leader of the Root Organization, also appeared in the conference room on crutches.

They all looked at the Third Hokage, their eyes seeming to ask what was important.

The Third Hokage pushed Jiraiya's report directly onto the conference table without saying too much nonsense. After circulating it around, the two consultants showed shocked expressions, while Danzo's expression was a little uncertain.

After a moment, Mito Kadoen asked with some uncertainty: "Sandaime, is the above information true? Uchiha Shisui really awakened the Mangekyo? He also defeated the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki?"

Koharu, who went to bed, also echoed: "Sarutobi, the information above is too exaggerated. Byakuya of Amegakure Village actually fought a tie with the Fourth Raikage, and forced the Fourth Raikage to agree to peace talks. When did Amegakure Village possess This kind of strength..."

The Third Hokage said helplessly:

"I also have some doubts about the news above, but there is no reason or possibility for Jiraiya to deceive us on such a big matter. I prefer to believe that the news above is true."

Hearing this, Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was sleeping, looked at each other and looked at Danzo beside them.

Danzo was still flipping through the information scroll, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

The temporary cessation of the war between Konoha and Kumogakure and entering the negotiation stage is naturally a good thing for the village, as it can prevent the already weak village from continuing to be consumed.

But the current development was completely different from what he expected.

Danzo originally wanted to use the opportunity of the war to weaken the ninja clan in the village. When Jiraiya couldn't hold on anymore, he went to the front line with Orochimaru to support him, so as to gain the credit of becoming Hokage.

But now, before he and Orochimaru rush to the front line, the war is almost over.

Uchiha, who was originally expected to be weakened, not only did not get weakened, but also gained an extra pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, and gained the credit for defeating the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

What's even more disgusting is that that boy Byakuya was able to compete with the Fourth Raikage in a short period of time, allowing Amegakure Village to steal the show in this battle.

At this moment, Danzo could imagine Bai Ye's foul-smelling face, which made him feel a little numb.

Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Danzo looked up at the Third Hokage, and then said slowly: "Hiruzen, it is indeed a good thing that the fighting on the front line has stopped, but this does not mean that we can relax our vigilance."

Upon hearing this, the advisory duo pricked up their ears.

As the "background" among the top management of Konoha, the two of them never expressed their opinions on major issues and always adhered to the golden mean. However, they also secured their positions as advisor elders and never encountered any criticism from others.

After a brief pause, Danzo said: "According to the information, the reason for the ceasefire between the village and Kumogakure this time was not the will of us and Kumogakure, but the force of Amegakure."

"This is certainly a good thing, but Yuyin Village must have a conspiracy behind doing this."

"Conspiracy?" After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and then said:

"The current leader of Amegakure Village is a student of Jiraiya, and he has a very good attitude towards us. I also met that Byakuya once. He is a young man with the will of fire."

"Under their leadership, there should be no conspiracy in Yuyin Village."

Danzo sneered and retorted: "You are all deceived by Byakuya's appearance. He is a person full of darkness in his heart. I have never seen a darker ninja than him."

"And regardless of whether Yuyin Village has any conspiracy, Yuyin Village already has the power to threaten the village."

As soon as these words came out, the Third Hokage and others fell into silence. Although Amegakure Village did not make any move to threaten Konoha, it did have the ability to threaten Konoha.

At this point, what Danzo said makes sense.

Seeing that the three people agreed with his idea, Danzo raised a smile and continued:

"In order to prevent Yuyin Village from threatening the village in the future, I think it is necessary to increase the budgets of major departments. For example, the Anbu and Scientific Research Departments need funds to upgrade."

After mentioning funds, Koharu, who is responsible for logistics and management, frowned: "The daimyo are already very dissatisfied with the current military expenditure. If peacetime comes, the budget will only be reduced and not increased."

The Third Hokage nodded and said, "The villagers are already under great pressure and we cannot increase the budget any more."

After being rejected by the Third Hokage and Koharu, who was transferred to his dormitory, Danzo's face darkened, and he immediately said: "We can discuss the budget issue later, but we must beware of Amegakure Village and Byakuya, they will attack the village sooner or later."

The Third Hokage said impatiently: "I said that Byakuya and Amegakure are friends of Konoha. Danzo, I know you offended the Akatsuki organization in Amegakure, but the relationship between Amegakure and Konoha will not be because of you. Change personally.”

Danzo snorted coldly and did not mention the topic of Byakuya again. He changed the topic and said: "Byakuya's problem can be ignored for the time being, but Uchiha Shisui's awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan is always an internal matter within the village."

"Uchiha has always coveted the position of Hokage. If he gets the Mangekyo, he may become even more arrogant."

"And what happened at the Nine-Tails Night was still unclear to this day."
