Konoha: Starting from Refining Dragon Bloodline

Chapter 159 The storm is coming, the shaky position of Hokage

The leader, Uchiha Eita, also took the lead and rushed over immediately.

This border area was not clean a few years ago, and ninjas from the base often came and went. For this reason, the Uchiha Patrol Team even added a new patrol line.

But ever since Yayoi made a name for herself on the battlefield, this place has also experienced a long-lost sense of purity. However, before a year of purity has passed, things have begun again here.

Could it be that there is a natural conflict here? The chakra fluctuations are very subtle and not big. I hope it is a few children practicing ninjutsu.

Yongtai thought silently.

After all, it is not uncommon for spies to infiltrate villages after the peace era.

"Uncle Yongta, good evening."

In just a few seconds, the Uchiha patrol team rushed over.

When Nagata and the Uchiha team behind him were ready to activate their Sharingan at any time, they faced a head-on challenge.

A familiar voice suddenly came, and after everyone turned the corner, they saw Yayoi standing under the streetlight.

Those golden eyes make people feel an inexplicable fear, and they dare not look into their eyes.

But Uchiha was different. They each opened their Sharingan eyes and looked at Yayoi, as if they were competing.

"It's Yayoi, what happened?"

Yong Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it's Yayoi, it must be fine.

After all, the son-in-law of the eldest elder's family is one of the family, so what can happen to him?

"A spy of unknown origin was found here. He escaped very quickly. I didn't catch him. It's best to report it to the village."

Yayoi said casually.

It would be good to strengthen Konoha's vigilance, it would be better than nothing.

"spy?"

"The spy who infiltrated the Uchiha family."

Hearing the news of ANBU's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at Danzo next to him. Danzo had a dark face, feeling unjust for Sarutobi Hiruzen's suspicion.

Although he previously felt that in the village, as long as he didn't go too far, the other party couldn't do anything to him.

However, several root ninjas were sent to follow Yayoi Uesugi, but without exception they disappeared.

This matter was originally Danzo's temptation and could not withstand the exposure. Because of the new curse seal and the absolute confidentiality of intelligence information, Danzo swallowed this tone.

Although he followed and monitored him, he thought he was still a good person, and he didn't have the powerful subordinates here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo, shook his head, and then thought it was impossible.

According to the information reported by Uchiha, it is obvious that Yayoi did not catch him either.

Then the spy's strength needs to be evaluated.

Danzo absolutely does not have such subordinates, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen speculated that Danzo himself might not have been able to escape under Yayoi during his heyday.

Although he and Yayoi had fallen out and their relationship had been tense recently, he had to admit Yayoi's strength.

Such an unknown ninja with extremely strong detection and escape abilities must be seriously considered.

"Hiruzen, I think Orochimaru and Uesugi Yayoi have definitely gained from the progress of the recent experiments, but they just kept the results privately and tried to monopolize them.

Moreover, the two misappropriated funds many times for research on non-Hashirama cells."

Danzo looked at his mutilated limbs and gritted his teeth to accuse the two of them of their behavior.

He only ate and did not work, and spent all day long in the laboratory with his own and the village's funds.

Those who knew the inside story knew that they were studying Hashirama cells, but those who didn’t knew thought that funds were being transferred there.

Although the experimental results obtained are reported regularly, only the person who wrote the report knows whether they are true or false.

God knows how much pressure Danzo endured during this period.

If you lose your limbs and become disabled, it means that your ninja career will come to an end.

And not being able to become a ninja means the end of Hokage's journey.

He didn't want to do this, so he had to do his best to facilitate Tsunade and Orochimaru's experiments.

Orochimaru and Uesugi Yayoi also seemed to know this, and they tightened their grip on this point and would not let go.

There really was nothing Danzo could do about this. After all, they were the only ones who had the final say on things like research progress.

"Danzo, we are getting old soon, can't we still let go of some false reputations?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh.

He knew Danzo's little desire to become Hokage, but the current situation was like a chaotic mess.

Tsunade, Yayoi, Sakumo, Orochimaru.

They are connected as one, have mutual interests, and are linked into a whole through different ties.

Even he, the Hokage, is almost out of control of the competition for the position of Hokage.

This is sad. Konoha's talents have grown so fast that even his newly established position as Hokage can be shaken.

Not to mention Danzo, even he was a little unwilling.

It wasn't that he couldn't see through the false prestige of the position of Hokage, it was just that he had only been Hokage for a few years, so why did he have to fight for it when he was in his prime.

Can't you wait a few more years and abdicate when you get old?

Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt angry in his heart.

However, in the face of strength, he could only compromise again and again.

According to Yayoi, even the Hokage can only have limited interference in everything he has fought for.

Moreover, the strength of ninjas is supreme. At present, besides him, the Third Hokage, there is another person who can rival him in Konoha.

If the time comes to abdicate, then I am afraid that all the families that have opposed me and are involved in their own interests will rise up.

At that time, the turmoil that swept Konoha began.

"Hiruzhan, no matter how afraid of them you are, if you want, give me the power of ANBU, and I will cut out the pests that harm Konoha for you."

Danzo also felt a burst of pressure, eager to obtain the power to stop the turmoil before it came.

It's so depressing. Ever since I became the leader of the root and surrendered myself to the darkness, I have never felt such unprecedented pressure.

The Senju who gradually gained the right to speak, the radical Uchiha of the entire clan, the caged bird was released, the entire clan fell into a whirlpool, and the storm was about to come.

And the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki who must be controlled by the Hokage.

Konoha is now like a dynamite barrel that will explode if not handled properly. The fuse that was missing now appears, and all the dynamite barrels are tied to one person.

How could this prevent him from panicking, suppressing, and doing something in advance to prevent the civil strife that was destined to be turbulent?

"No, Danzo, your ambition is too great.

The power of ANBU cannot be handed over to you, so just do your job with peace of mind.

We are already old, and sometimes we have to accept the fact that we are getting older."

"But I will ask Tsunade and Orochimaru about regenerating limbs.

Old friends, get ready."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said earnestly, with a hint of sigh in his tone.

He no longer looked at Danzo's suppressed angry face, stood up from the Hokage's office, walked to the glass behind him, and looked at Konoha, which was plunged into darkness.

If there is a Third Ninja War, it will definitely be after everything is destined.

Sarutobi Hiruzen would not think that he is worse than Yayoi now.

The position of Hokage was not right at the beginning, but now it still needs to be defended with strength.
