Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

When mentioning Byakuya and Amegakure Village, the Third Hokage did not want or want to think about the threat of Amegakure Village.

No matter how powerful the upper-level combat power of Amegakure Village is, limited by the number of ninjas and geographical location, Amegakure Village cannot develop into a ninja village of Iwagakure and Kumogakure levels.

Even if it obtains a status no less than that of the Five Great Ninja Villages, it will be able to share the pressure from the north for Konoha.

But the Uchiha clan is different. Although Uchiha is a companion in the village, he is the most unstable factor among all the ninja clan.

As early as the time of the First Hokage, Uchiha Madara defected from the village and took the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha.

During the period of the Second Hokage Tobirama, there were also radical Uchiha like Setsuna Uchiha who secretly planned to seize power because they were dissatisfied with their teacher's policies.

Although this coup was suppressed by the teacher before it even started, it also proved Uchiha's ambition.

Now that decades have passed, it is impossible for the Third Hokage to believe that Uchiha has lost this idea.

And on the night of the Kyuubi, Uchiha also had many doubts.

Is the masked man's identity actually Uchiha? Did the Uchiha team up with the masked man to deal with Minato? Or maybe the masked man is Shisui in disguise?

If Shisui really awakened the Mangekyo at that time, he should run for the Fourth Hokage.

The Third Hokage shook his head. He tried not to think about the threat of Uchiha, but Uchiha was indeed an unstable factor in the village and could explode in the village at any time.

But if we really deal with Uchiha without any evidence, not only will it violate the will of fire, but the other ninjas in the village will also feel an urgent threat and be alienated from the Hokage Building.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage looked at Danzo and said slowly:

"Danzo, I know you have always been prejudiced against Uchiha, but now Uchiha is the hero of the village, and you must not doubt them because of some unfounded things."

"I heard that your subordinates have been recruiting people recently, but they haven't achieved enough results..."

After hearing this, Danzo's expression suddenly became serious, and he changed the subject and said, "Hiruzen, don't forget what Tobirama-sensei once said. Uchiha are naturally evil ninjas."

The Third Hokage's expression also changed, and then the two began to quarrel.

Seeing this scene, Koharu and Mito Menyan were already used to it. Whenever the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo got into a dispute.

The Third Hokage will always use his Hokage identity to overwhelm Danzo Shimura.

And Danzo would move out of Tobirama, their common teacher, and use Teacher Tobirama's words to refute the Third Hokage, but the dead Hokage is no match for the current Hokage.

Disputes between the two sides often end in Danzo's defeat.

A few minutes later, Danzo walked towards the door with a dark face, and while opening the door, he said: "Hiruzhan, if you continue to indulge Uchiha, you will regret it sooner or later!"

The Third Hokage said without hesitation: "But now, I am the Hokage!"

After the slamming of the door, Danzo left the Hokage building gloomily and uncertainly. Every time before he attended a high-level meeting, he knew that the Third Hokage would definitely refute his opinions.

But for Konoha and to become Hokage, he came to the Hokage Building without hesitation.

Just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be refuting himself everywhere, but he must have kept his words in mind. This was their tacit understanding for decades and their original agreement.

He would take on the dark side of the village, in exchange for Sarutobi Hiruzen bathing in the sunshine.

It's just that you have enjoyed life in the sun for decades and have retired from the position of Hokage. Now, taking advantage of the death of the fourth Hokage, it is not too much to continue to suppress yourself and control the position of Hokage.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were unwilling to become Hokage and would not allow themselves and Orochimaru to become Hokage.

Do you want to continue to be the Hokage and wait until your son, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, the ANBU chief, grows up so that the Sarutobi clan can continue to become the next Hokage?

Thinking of this, Danzo, who was originally walking along the shadow in the corner, looked at the light and shadow separated by a thin line.

He wanted to become Hokage so much, but the power he had accumulated so far was not enough, and his aging body had also greatly reduced his strength. Unless the wood escape experiment could bear fruit, everything would be in vain.

Half an hour later, Danzo arrived at the root laboratory outside the village.

Danzo, who was about to enter the laboratory to ask Orochimaru, met Orochimaru at the exit.

Orochimaru was in a very bad mood. After meeting Danzo Shimura, he shook his head and said, "Danzo, the results of the wood escape experiment were different from what was expected. Our experiment failed this time."

After hearing this, Danzo's face, which had just softened, turned gloomy again: "Orochimaru, what do you mean? So much money and manpower was spent on the Wood Release experiment, why did it fail?"

"It's normal for experiments to fail, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Danzo stared into Orochimaru's eyes, and then said: "Isn't this the reason why you defrauded the funds? The roots will no longer provide funds for the wood escape experiment!"

Orochimaru said expressionlessly: "That's up to you, Danzo-sama. I have no interest in the Wood Release experiment anymore. I have put all the information about the experiment in it. If you are willing to continue studying Wood Release, then continue Go study it.”

After saying that, Orochimaru left this place without looking back. He still had other experiments to complete.

After this large-scale experiment, he realized that the power of Mu Dun was uncontrollable. Unless the chosen one really appeared, no one would be able to survive the backlash of Hashirama's cells.

After seeing Orochimaru leave, Danzo reluctantly walked into the laboratory and prepared to get experimental materials.

Orochimaru is still very young, only in his forties. He can give up the wood escape experiment, but he can't. He must obtain the power of the first generation Hokage.

After entering the depths of the laboratory, Danzo looked at the experimental subjects soaked in the glass jar.

These human experimental subjects either lost their life breath, or turned into a twisted wooden monster, or stayed in a glass jar peacefully, or ferociously.

At this time, Danzo suddenly heard a cry and frowned.

Searching along the glass jar, Danzo found a still-living experimental subject in an inconspicuous corner. Although the other party was separated from the glass jar, he was still alive.

Holding the experimental subject in his arms, he felt the Yang Escape Chakra filling the other person's body.

A smile appeared on Danzo's lips.

Orochimaru's wooden escape plan did not fail. There is still a living experimental subject, and Orochimaru does not know the result. This is a great good thing for Danzo.

Next, he can quietly cultivate the experimental subjects and squeeze Orochimaru out of the center of power.
