Chapter 18 - Chapter 17: Third Hokage: I Am the Hokage, Danzo: Hiruzen, You Will Regret This

"Hmm! With such outstanding talent in medical ninjutsu, if he possesses the Will of Fire, perhaps Tsunade can accept him as a disciple;"

"In this way, if we label him as a direct descendant of the Hokage, it will be much easier to influence and brainwash him later!"

The Third Hokage couldn't help but think carefully.

In fact, with this identity, he could at least instigate Haruto a little bit later and gradually cause him to be excluded by the tribe members and treated as an alien, making him feel more and more aggrieved in the Uchiha clan.

After such a long time, Uchiha Haruto will definitely develop hatred towards Uchiha and become a tool to completely control and suppress Uchiha.

He is very familiar with this move.

Wasn't that the case with their companion Uchiha Kagami back then?

Although, the Second Hokage did not do so initially, Uchiha Kagami was also rejected and disliked by most of the Uchiha due to his personality and attitude towards the village not fitting in with most of the Uchiha, and he got too close to the village.

It's already like this without any instigation. If he adds fuel to the fire in secret, the effect will only be worse.

The premise is that Uchiha Haruto possesses a certain will of fire.

"Bang!"

Just when the Third Hokage was showing a smug look, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang."

The Third Hokage's thoughts were interrupted, and his brows furrowed. He looked up with anger rising in his heart.

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo hurried in and said to the Third Hokage without waiting for him to speak: "You must have heard about the news about Uchiha Haruto, right?"

"Leave Uchiha Haruto to me! Let him join the Root, and I will definitely train him into a qualified tool to deal with Uchiha."

When the Third Hokage heard this, his already dissatisfied expression became even uglier, and he scolded: "Danzo, you are a high-ranking official in Konoha after all, can you be more steady?

"Next time you come in, could you please knock on the door first?"

He felt like Danzo had no respect for him as the Hokage.

This is a very bad habit.

"Huh? Is now the time to be fussing over such trivial matters?"

Danzo frowned, looked at the Third Hokage speechlessly, and asked impatiently, "Do you agree or not?"

Trivial matters?

The Third Hokage frowned even more. He wondered if he had spoiled Danzo too much in recent years.

This made Danzo so arrogant, and he didn't take the Hokage seriously at all!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Third Hokage, and he said in a deep voice: "Danzo, your hand is too long!"

"I have been mindful of our friendship over the past few years, so even though your Root organization far exceeds the limit I gave you, I didn't say much;"

"But this is no reason for you to escalate."

Originally, the Root consisted of only three teams.

The total number would not exceed 20 people.

But now?

He knew that there were no less than 80 Root Ninjas.

Even he, the Hokage, doesn't know how much is going on in secret.

This is undoubtedly wrong in the eyes of the Third Hokage.

As the Third Hokage's position has become increasingly consolidated over the years and the power in his hands has grown, his ambitions have naturally grown, but his tolerance has become smaller.

In his opinion, everything in Konoha should be under his control and should not be exceeded.

This is true for Uchiha, this is true for Senju, and naturally, Danzo and Root are no exception.

That is, Uzumaki Mito has a high status, generation, reputation, and position, is too powerful, and is the wife of the First Hokage, so he has no way to control her.

Everyone else must be under his control.

"Hiruzen...what do you mean?"

When Danzo heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he angrily said with a gloomy face: "I just asked you for a Uchiha brat, and you asked me this?"

"Then what does it mean for me to take the blame for all the things I have done for you over the years?"

"Don't you really know why the Roots have expanded like this?"

"If it wasn't to help you deal with things that are inconvenient for you to handle, why would I continue to expand the Roots?"

He feels that the Third Hokage has changed. Are they trying to get rid of him?

For a time, Danzo not only felt a surge in his sense of crisis, but he also became increasingly dissatisfied with the Third Hokage.

The obsession and desire for the Hokage in his heart also grew rapidly.

In his opinion, just because he was not Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen could suppress him, target him, and drive him around without any hesitation.

They made him do all the dirty and tiring work, and then they were afraid of him and wanted to settle accounts with him afterward.

If he had stood up first, perhaps he would have been the Hokage. How could there be such an absurd situation today?

At that time, it was you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who did the dirty work and took the blame.

"this...."

When the Third Hokage heard Danzo's accusation, he thought of all the dirty work Danzo had done for him and all the blame he had taken over the years to help him secure the position of Hokage, and a sense of regret emerged in his heart.

He waved his hands helplessly and said, "Forget it! I won't bother with you about the overstaffing of the Root!"

"But we can only maintain the current organization and cannot continue to expand without restraint!"

"Don't push my boundaries, Danzo! You should know that well."

"You.... humph! I get it!"

After hearing this, Danzo just snorted coldly and didn't say much.

In his opinion, he can agree on the surface, but what he does behind the scenes is his business.

At worst, he won't let the Third Hokage know.

But Uchiha Haruto was unwilling to give up and chased again: "I can stop expanding, but Uchiha Haruto you have to give to me."

"Impossible! Just give up on this idea!"

The Third Hokage waved his hands and refused bluntly: "I have other arrangements for Uchiha Haruto. I will not allow you to attack him. Do you understand?"

"you...."

Danzo got angry again after hearing this: "Why? You should know that it is the right thing to do to let me train you!"

"How can we let this Uchiha kid with such horrible talent stay in Uchiha and let Uchiha train him?"

"You will definitely become a big problem for us in the future! What on earth are you thinking about?"

"Have you become soft-hearted towards the Uchiha? Have you forgotten how they launched the coup in the first place?"

"Uchiha Setsuna is still locked up in Konoha's prison! Do you want me to bring him up and show him to you?"

Why not take this extremely talented Uchiha kid and brainwash him into a tool, and keep him for the New Year?

"You're being extreme and short-sighted, Danzo!"

After hearing this, the Third Hokage shook his head helplessly and said, "Uchiha Haruto is the son of the clan leader Uchiha Shinji. With his tough personality, do you really think you can take it directly from him and use the Tongue Eradication Technique to control and brainwash you?"

"You are a little too naive!"

"If we really do this, it will only backfire and alert the enemy;"

"I already have my plan for how to deal with Uchiha Haruto, so stay out of this matter!"

"Anyway, don't worry. I won't allow an Uchiha that could threaten us to grow up."

"If my plan succeeds, suppressing and even splitting the Uchiha will be a piece of cake."

"ha?"

Danzo was shocked and angry when he heard this: "You don't want to bring him under your control and brainwash him, do you?"

At this point, Danzo noticed the Third Hokage's flickering eyes and immediately realized that his guess was right. He immediately frowned and shouted angrily, "Hiruzen, you're going too far!"

The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes and stared at Danzo, saying word by word: "Danzo, don't forget, I am the Hokage!"

Danzo: (╬ ̄皿 ̄)

It was this sentence again. Whenever Danzo heard this sentence, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

But he knew that, having said that, it would be impossible for him to change the Third Hokage's mind by continuing to argue, so he immediately glared at the Third Hokage with deep anger.

"Hiruzen, you're going to regret this!"

After saying this, Danzo left with a livid face.
