Konoha Village, Hokage Tower.
After several days of traveling, the Fire Team arrived at the Ninja Village and arrived at the Hokage Building.
The Third Hokage in the office stood with his hands behind his hands, standing in front of the window sill and looking at the withered yellow leaves on the ground, like a world-famous painting, waiting for someone's return.
As the doorbell rang, the Third Hokage turned around and looked at the team of Jonin in front of him, and asked impatiently: "Is the mission completed?"
The members of the Fire Team looked at each other, their faces not showing any expression of joy, but rather solemn.
The Third Hokage immediately understood something. He sat on the armchair and asked with a complicated expression: "Tell me the specific situation."
As the captain, Yin immediately handed over the mission report and glanced at the corner.
After taking the mission report and reading it carefully for a while, the Third Hokage took a long breath and said: "It seems that the strength of the Akatsuki leader is much stronger than we expected... But if you can be safe, I will
not worried."
The Third Hokage had already personally experienced the information about the Akatsuki leader mentioned in the report.
At that time, he and Jiraiya led a large number of ninjas to raid, but they were unable to break through the defense of Amegakure Village. They were stopped in front of the gate of Amegakure Village. The power of the Earth Blast Star was simply despairing.
But for some unknown reason, Payne, whom Team Fire and others encountered, did not use that technique.
Is it because that technique has eye sequelae?
If you think about it carefully, there is some truth. If such a technique could be used at will, the Akatsuki organization would not have to stay dormant for so many years, and would have abolished the order of the five major countries.
With the sparkle restored in his eyes, the Third Hokage looked at the Jonin in front and asked: "Do you have any insights about the Akatsuki Organization and the Akatsuki Organization's next move?"
After Yin and Hinata Zang heard this, they all fell into silence.
This is not just asking for opinions, it is the Hokage taking the initiative to ask for opinions. In the past, only the chiefs of the clan and the advisory elders could be asked for opinions.
This undoubtedly illustrates one thing. The three generations are gradually unable to deal with the current situation, and the new generation of ninjas have grown up to the point where they can stand alone.
Facing Sandai's inquiries, several people provided their own guesses.
After the Akatsuki organization took away the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the only remaining tailed beasts were the three major ninja villages of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha. The Akatsuki organization may launch a surprise attack on any ninja village.
Kakashi thought it was Kumogakure, Uchibo thought it was Konoha, and Hyugazo thought it was Iwagakure.
After listening to these guesses, Sandai slowly closed his eyes. After opening his eyes again, he asked a few more questions, and then asked Hinata Zang and others to retreat.
The three major ninja villages all have great possibilities, so what's the difference between that and no suggestions?
However, his purpose was not to solicit opinions, but to see their ability to think independently.
It was almost at their age that Minato became the Hokage by showing off his talents through military exploits, and ten years had passed since Minato fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps, he can no longer miss the position of Hokage and must pass the responsibility to the younger generation of ninjas.
After watching Hinata Zang and others leave and the door gradually closing, the Third Generation looked to the side and said in a faint tone: "Danzo, don't you have anything to say?"
Danzo walked out of the shadows next to him and said immediately: "Hiruzhan, you should not seek their opinions, especially the opinions of Uchiha, they will lead the village into the abyss!"
After hearing this, Sandai looked at Danzo meaningfully: "You should understand that this is not what I am referring to."
After saying that, without waiting for Danzo to answer, the Third Generation threw a report at Danzo and then stared at Danzo.
Danzo took the report, glanced at it casually, and his face became extremely gloomy. All of it was evidence that he conducted wood escape experiments and violated the Hokage's orders.
Not only was it just a report from the Fire Team, the Third Generation knew about it not long after Danzo left the village.
"Yes, I have indeed been studying Mu Dun, but it has not affected the civilians. These are all to increase the strength of the village..."
After being seen through, Danzo did not deny it, but began to state the interests.
The third generation held his chin with his hands and said indifferently: "If I hadn't known that you were doing it for the village, you would have been labeled a traitor. However, the necessary punishment must not be less. You and the root will have a certain amount of funding reduced."
Danzo's face was as gloomy as water and he nodded.
His behavior of studying Mudun and actively hunting the Akatsuki organization is essentially a game. If he wins, he will be able to gain huge reputation, which can even allow him to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
Protect the roots of the village from the darkness and become a true Hokage.
At that time, even if Hiruzen knew that he had gone beyond the order by studying Wood Release, he could only acquiesce.
But he was defeated, defeated by the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and all his wooden escape team were killed. It can be said that he lost most of his elite strength.
Without the elites like Genbu, he would not be able to influence Hokage simply by taking on the title of leader of Genbu.
The third generation is also looking at Danzo at this moment. Danzo is still studying the Wood Release. He has a guess, which has only been confirmed recently. It is precisely because of the Wood Release that Danzo's strength can be restored to its peak.
According to the Fire Team's report, Danzo's current strength is probably above him.
After pondering for a long time, Sandai said to Danzo: "Danzo, send all the research materials and experimental data of Wood Release to me. No further Wood Release experiments are allowed."
Danzo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed to hand over the information and data.
Of course, that was only the data from half a year ago. The progress of Hashirama's cells half a year ago was almost the same as it is now, but there was no natural energy to assist at that time, and natural energy was the most important thing.
After seeing Danzo off again, Sandai took out his pipe from the drawer and took a few puffs.
Not long after, a root ninja brought information about wood escape to the third generation.
This person is exactly the spy planted by the Third Generation in the Roots. With such a large organization as the Roots, the Hokage cannot sit idly by and do nothing. Although Danzo also knew that there were spies, he did not dare to screen them on a large scale.
There is a lot of information on the wood escape experiment, almost filling the desk.
Even though he knew there were deletions in it, Sandai still read it attentively.
As time went by, the expressions of the three representatives changed extremely. Finally, in front of a piece of information, their expressions became extremely solemn.
Wooden Release was created by transplanting the cells of the First Hokage.
And this information records that in addition to being able to perform Wood Release, successfully using Hashirama Cells can also restore ninjas to their peak.
Return to your peak!
The third generation looked at his withered arms, then carefully recalled Danzo's recent energy, picked up the pipe on the table again, and smoked it for a long time.
