The land of grass.

Konoha Camp.

In a tent, Danzo was wearing a black coat, sitting quietly on a chair, receiving treatment from the medical ninja.

After giving Danzo the medicine, the medical ninja smiled and said:

"Danzo-sama, according to the current recovery situation, you will be able to move on your own in another week."

Danzo nodded lightly, with no clear emotion or joy on his face.

Danzo knows his physical condition better than anyone else.

Although the injury caused by Rou Quan has almost healed, it still left a bad negative impact on his body, and his body's reflexes also dropped a lot.

Not only that, he also lost an arm, and his strength has probably dropped to less than 70% of what it was in its heyday.

However, even the psychic beast, the Dream Eater, can barely participate in the upcoming war as a senior combatant in Konoha.

Although he longs for the position of Hokage, now is not the time to care about it.

With the situation the village was facing now, he couldn't compete with Hokage Hiruzen for power and gain, allowing outsiders to take advantage of the situation.

After the medical ninja left, a root ninja walked in.

Wearing a black coat and sunglasses on his face, he seemed to have a mysterious atmosphere surrounding him, making people think that he had extraordinary strength.

Aburame Ryoma is his name, and he is one of the top figures in the Aburame family of the Konoha clan.

He is the same generation as the Sannin, and is strong enough to compete with the Sannin, and is an elite jounin of Konoha who can not fall behind in a short period of time.

As the deputy leader of the Root Organization, he was in charge of the Root Organization during the period when Danzo was unable to take charge.

Coupled with the radical ideas of his fighting sect, Danzo had great trust in his character and abilities.

An outstanding Konoha ninja who can still fulfill his fundamental duties even if he is unconscious.

"You're here, Ryoma."

"Yes, Danzo-sama. Congratulations on your recovery."

Ryoma's tone was calm, as if he didn't care about anything.

Danzo didn't mind Ryoma's indifferent tone. In fact, he was used to Ryoma's indifferent and profound look, which always made people think that he was thinking of some very powerful strategies.

After wearing sunglasses, it is even more difficult to judge what he is thinking through his facial expressions.

"While I was in coma, what happened in the ninja world and the village recently? Tell me everything. I need to judge how to carry out the next action."

"yes."

Danzo actually woke up a week ago, but after waking up, due to poor mental and physical strength, he focused on recuperating for the time being and did not pay much attention to the internal affairs and external affairs.

Ryoma began to introduce the important things that happened while Danzo was recovering from his injuries. Some of the more important ones took the time to describe in detail, while the less important ones were briefly summarized.

Having followed Danzo for many years, Ryoma knows how to tell stories that can make Danzo understand the current situation in the shortest possible time, and whether the situation Konoha is facing now is good or bad.

After hearing that Koharu and Mito Kabuto secretly disobeyed the Hokage's orders, they rolled their eyes and conducted a secret investigation on the Hyuga clan. The calm look on Danzo's face suddenly turned gloomy, and anger flashed in his eyes.

"These two idiots, who have served as consultants for so many years, are really getting better and better! Is now the time to hold the Hyuga clan accountable?"

Moreover, this matter itself has nothing to do with the Hyuga clan.

Although saying this was a bit demoralizing to him, Danzo believed that it would be more appropriate for Hiruzen, as the Hokage, to handle the matter himself as to how to handle the future relationship between the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan is not a fighting sect in the village, and the importance of this clan in the village is completely different from that of the Uchiha clan.

This matter can only be comforted by the Hokage himself, not through the hands of advisors or even the roots.

This will only alienate the Hyuga clan from the higher-ups and shut out the Hyuga clan. If the Hyuga clan moves closer to the Uchiha clan because of this incident, things will really be in trouble.

"It seems I need to return to the village as soon as possible."

Danzo thought for a moment and made the decision to return to the village.

Right now, it is more important than foreign enemies to appease the Hyuga clan, rather than to continue to exert pressure.

He was very familiar with Hiruzen's soft-tempered temperament, which could be called a peacemaker and steady in everything. As a consultant, Koharu, who had moved to the dormitory, and Mito Monobu had done this, they would definitely not be punished too severely, they would only be punished.

Implement warning level sanctions.

This shortcoming has indeed become the basis for the development of the roots in peacetime, but at this time, if the advisors are allowed to continue to run wild, this shortcoming of being Hokage will become the culprit that destroys the balance of the village.

"This is unnecessary, Danzo-sama."

Aburame Ryoma spoke at this time.

Although when he received the news, he was also dissatisfied with the approach of the two consultants. Originally, the Hyuga clan was already in dire straits due to the defection incident. Doing this would only add fuel to the fire and put the village and Hyuga together.

The relationship between the clans is estranged.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Lord Hokage has come to apologize in person, and severely criticized the advisors at the Jonin meeting. The ANBU will monitor the two of them twenty-four hours a day until the end of the war. And on some matters, he will punish the Hyuga clan.

Make concessions.”

Ryoma answered methodically.

"Is that so?"

"And...according to the information I received, when the two consultants visited the Hyuga clan that day, there was no conflict. Instead, they successfully obtained the permission of the Hyuga clan elders. Only the branch family seemed to have some complaints.

"

However, the separation of families has nothing to do with the core power of the Hyuga clan, so their views are irrelevant.

After all, after the defection, the management of the separated families became more stringent.

"..."

Danzo was a little surprised to hear that the Hyuga clan had such a reaction.

He could predict that Hiruzen would make amends for this matter. However, the Hyuga clan actually made such concessions. After all, they had a strong attitude and refused the consultant's search operation. Hiruzen would not do anything.

Regarding this matter, Genbu will also consider the Hyuga clan's position in the village and support it.

only……

Danzo could not predict whether this incident would be good or bad for the future of the village.

But if I think about it carefully, I think it is reasonable.

The elders of the Hyuga clan are all clan ninjas who have retired for many years. They have neglected fighting for at least twenty or even thirty years. They have been enjoying themselves in the village and have long forgotten the idea of ​​being enterprising. Instead of quarreling with the higher-ups, they plan to settle the matter.

It is also more in line with their usual welcoming style.

"For the current situation of the village, it is actually a good thing for the Hyuga clan to respond like this."

Ryoma hesitated and said.

"No, it is only a good thing during the war. But this will inevitably be secretly instigated by some people. If someone is secretly planning this, Konoha will have lost in the long run."

Danzo gritted his teeth and forced out these words.

"You mean..."

"Hyuga Ayane."

"This is too alarmist."

"I have personally fought against all three of them. They are by no means ordinary ninjas. Especially Uchiha Ruri, who was only slightly inferior in the battle with Hiruzen that day."

Although in that battle, Hokage Hiruzen did not use all his strength because he was concerned about the safety of the Kyuubi, but only acted with siege tactics. However, it cannot be proved that in that battle, Uchiha Ruri also used all his strength.

Moreover, Hyuga Ayane's strength is equally impressive. Judging from the strength she finally showed that day, I'm afraid it would take Matt Dai, a taijutsu ninja practicing the Eight Gate Dungeon, plus the entire fighting force of Genbu, to barely pull it off.

Take it.

There is no doubt that the strength of these two women is ninja that can be compared with the "Five Shadows".

"Are there any spies in the Hinata branch?"

"This is just a guess, but here's the problem. We can neither force the Hyuga clan to be too tight, nor can we completely ignore them. If Hyuga Ayane does this intentionally, the Hyuga clan will also be a member of Konoha in the future.

Time bomb. How could they let go of such an easy-to-use chess piece if they have the technology to disarm the 'caged bird'."

A sharp look flashed in Danzo's eyes.

If it were him, he would also adopt such an aboveboard conspiracy.

Because the Hyuga clan is different from the Uchiha clan, even if they know that there is a high probability that there are internal ghosts in this family who will leak the situation of Konoha, they cannot act rashly or take drastic measures against the Hyuga clan.

Hinata's Byakugan has always been Konoha's most important strategic weapon, and its function far exceeds the convenience brought by Sharingan.

Konoha's many surprise attacks and counterattacks were able to run smoothly because of the Byakugan.

"Then how to prevent it?"

Faced with Ryoma's question, Danzo just shook his head. In a short period of time, he could not think of any good solution.

"Currently the Hyuga clan can only leave it alone. Since the situation in the village has been reluctantly stabilized by Hiruzen, ending the war between Sunagakure and Iwagakure as soon as possible is the top priority."

"The human hand at the root is missing right now."
