I defected before Genocide Night

"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan leader Fugaku is here."

When Uzumaki Naruto was having his memory checked, Fugaku came to the Hokage Building.

Looking at the advisory group, the Third Generation and others who were waiting for the results, Fugaku hesitated for a moment and said that Uchiha Taki was now in Konoha.

"He actually dares to return to Konoha."

"This villain must be caught!"

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kaden stood up, their faces full of anger.

Unlike the two extremely excited advisors, Sandai was habitually deep in thought, constantly guessing about Uchiha Taki's purpose.

Danzo took the opportunity to speak before him: "The Uchiha clan is always so arrogant, just let me deal with him!"

Hearing this, both Sandai and Fugaku frowned slightly.

"The roots are the roots of Konoha!" Sandai looked at Danzo with a meaningful look and reminded him.

As for Fugaku, in addition to suppressing his inner dissatisfaction, he only felt aggrieved.

From the reactions of everyone present, he could see that Konoha's top brass still harbored prejudices against Uchiha.

It was obviously only Taki's fault, and the Uchiha clan had publicly expelled him long ago, but the higher-ups in Konoha always lumped them together.

At that moment, Fugaku responded coldly: "Taki is no longer a member of the Uchiha clan. I have no objection to what Danzo-sama plans to do. At the same time, Konoha does not need to ask the Uchiha clan for instructions on how to punish Taki."

After saying that, he left the Hokage Building with a cold expression.

The third generation glared at Danzo dissatisfied.

"You are deliberately trying to sow discord between Uchiha and Konoha. Don't forget who caused Konoha's current crisis!"

His words made Danzo's expression frustrated and he felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Mito Kadobu, one of the members of the advisory group, could only come out to ease the atmosphere: "Danzo, you should arrange for someone to capture Uchiha Taki first!"

Then, he turned to the third generation: "Hiruzhan, let's see who appears in Uzumaki Naruto's memory."

Sandai took a deep breath and nodded.

Danzo left the table.

Not long after, Haiichi Yamanaka, who was responsible for spot-checking memories, came out.

"Naruto Uzumaki has recently come into contact with two guys of unknown origin."

After hearing his report, Sandai and the two consultants looked at him with serious expressions and asked attentively: "Who is it?"

"One is Uchiha Taki, and the other is a guy wearing a whirlpool mask."

Yamanaka Haiichi continued to narrate the memories of what he saw.

And the expressions of the third generation are becoming more and more serious.

At the end, he and two consultants slammed the table together.

"The masked ninja and Uchiha Taki must be the culprits who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion."

"The Yondaime and Kushina were killed by them."

Combining the information Taki revealed when he defected, they made a decision.

"Taki and that mysterious ninja must be eradicated, otherwise such conspirators will harm Konoha again sooner or later."

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Monobu moved in unison, and soon sent someone to pass the information to Danzo.

The third generation had his hands crossed and his chin propped up while he was thinking.

Because of Taki's defection, Konoha and Uchiha reached a preliminary reconciliation.

So before, he thought that Taki became a rebel ninja and defecting from Konoha was just a helpless move.

At that time, there was still pressure from the Immortal Eye.

In that case, he did not send too many men to capture Taki.

"Maybe I made a wrong decision before." Sandai sighed inwardly.

He got up and planned to lead people to search the village together with two consultants.

"Third generation grandfather!"

Uzumaki Naruto was brought to the conference room by Yamanaka Haiichi.

There was a slight hint of uneasiness on his small face. Seeing this, Sandai could only sigh.

"Why can't you, like your mother, fully control the power of the Nine-Tails?"

Feeling regretful in his heart, he touched Naruto's head, then turned and left.

The two advisors following him glanced at Naruto, the Jinchuuriki, with undisguised disgust and distress on their faces.

Suddenly, Naruto, who was already feeling uneasy about having his thoughts checked, became even more hesitant.

Looking at the hurried Sandai and others, he had some things he wanted to complain about, but he couldn't say them out no matter how hard he tried.

In the Hokage building, ninjas from various departments are busy with their own things.

Naruto didn't get permission, so he had to sit on the ground anxiously.

If it were him before, he would have climbed out of the window and jumped out of the Hokage Building by now.

It's just that there are too many things happening these days, and Naruto's inner endurance has almost reached its limit.

He was afraid that he would really be abandoned, so he didn't dare to cause trouble.

He sat on the ground obediently, not even daring to ask for a chair from the busy ANBU ninja.

After waiting for a long time, until the sun set and the last red light of the setting sun shone into the conference room, Naruto finally waited for someone to come.

It's Danzo.

He searched all over Konoha for a whole day, but could not find any trace of Uchiha Taki.

"Damn it, the Uchiha clan must have hidden him."

Danzo's first suspicion was Fugaku who came to report the situation early in the morning.

Because during the day, he forcibly broke into the Uchiha clan to search without the permission of the third generation.

Although no one was found in the end, the Uchiha clan showed an uncooperative attitude during the root search, which greatly increased Danzo's inner suspicion.

But the Uchiha clan's inner grievances were no less than his, and they had already made great concessions to the root ninjas who had barged in.

Unable to communicate, Genbe finally had a strong conflict with the Uchiha clan.

When an angry Danzo entered the conference room, he happened to see Naruto sitting on the floor.

"It's the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki!"

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Danzo's mind.

After sneering in a low voice, he came to Naruto's side.

"You must be Uzumaki Naruto!" Looking at Naruto with his head lowered in a daze, Danzo asked, "Are you interested in becoming a root ninja who protects Konoha in the darkness?"

After asking such a question, Danzo's eyes were fixed on Uzumaki Naruto.

If possible, he wanted to hold the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in his hands.

As long as Naruto Uzumaki agrees, the Third Generation, Jiraiya and others must respect his wishes no matter how reluctant they are.

"Root Ninja?"

Naruto murmured softly, not quite understanding this title.

"He is a ninja who adheres to the dark code and walks in the darkness." Danzo explained.

Although he himself cannot make such an extreme sacrifice, this does not prevent him from using this rhetoric to coax children.

Naruto shook his head: "I don't like darkness."

Danzo frowned: "Where there is light, there will be darkness. You can live peacefully in the village because countless root ninjas have made sacrifices for this."

"Why sacrifice?" Naruto still scratched his head in confusion.

Danzo was speechless.

"Forget it, maybe the fourth generation should not choose to let you become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki." Danzo shook his head.

Afterwards, the Sandai and others who could not find Uchiha Taki and Obito returned to the conference room one after another.

Seeing Naruto still sitting inside, Sandai paused slightly: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

According to his understanding of Naruto, the naughty Naruto would definitely sneak away on his own.
