Chapter 153 Nine-Tail Night (Part )

within the root base.

After receiving the order from the Third and Fourth Hokage requesting support, Danzo did not immediately go to the front battlefield where the Nine-Tails was wreaking havoc to provide support.

Instead, he gathered all his men and came to the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory.

Seeing this, Aburame Ryoma asked in confusion: "Master Danzo, shouldn't we support the Third and Fourth Hokage? Why did you bring people to the Uchiha clan's territory?"

Danzo first glanced at Aburame Ryoma, and then gave a rare explanation: "Ryoma, do you think that the Third and Fourth Hokages can't deal with a mere Nine-Tails with their strength? Do they really need our support?"

After hearing this, Aburame Ryoma nodded slightly, but he was still a little confused.

With the strength of the Third and Fourth generations, it is more than enough to deal with the Nine-Tails. However, just because the Third and Fourth generations can deal with the Nine-Tails, it does not mean that the Root Ninja can ignore the disaster in front of them.

Seeing the slow-witted Aburame Ryoma, Danzo sighed softly in his heart.

As his deputy, how could Aburame Ryoma be so much slower than Orochimaru? If Orochimaru was present, he would definitely understand his intentions, and his "student" Byakuya would be able to draw inferences from his example.

However, Orochimaru is not loyal to him, and has left the village to collect experimental materials.

Needless to say, Bai Ye was a sinister villain who learned his strategies and then mocked him in return.

Although Longma is not very smart, he is loyal enough.

After a moment's silence, Danzo continued, "Ryoma, you only saw that the Nine-Tails had escaped from the Jinchūriki's seal and was causing chaos and conflict in the village, but you didn't see the truth behind it."

"What truth?" Aburame Ryoma looked puzzled.

Danzo glanced at Aburame Ryoma and said:

"The Nine-Tail's escape from the seal this time is definitely not a simple escape. There must be a ninja behind it who has planned this conspiracy. Who do you think is the ninja who has the ability to control the Nine-Tail?"

"Could it be Uchiha..." Aburame Ryoma hesitated for a moment, then gave the answer.

Danzo nodded and said:
"Yes, it is Uchiha. Only Uchiha's Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails."

"The reason why the Nine-Tails escaped the seal of the Jinchūriki this time must be that Uchiha knew the time when the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki would give birth, and deliberately chose this time to manipulate the Nine-Tails to launch an attack."

Aburame Ryoma was somewhat skeptical about Danzo's statement, and then he said to himself:
"But Lord Danzo, if the Uchiha really has the ability to control the tailed beasts, in the previous battles with Iwagakure and Kirigakure, if they were able to control the tailed beasts and turn the tide of the battle, they should be qualified to run for the position of Hokage."

Hokage, Hokage!
After hearing the word 'Hokage', Danzo's face changed. He also knew that his argument had logical loopholes and could not stand up to scrutiny.

But he believed in the teachings of Mr. Tobirama.

The Uchiha clan is a naturally evil ninja clan. It is not surprising that they do anything under the stimulation of the Sharingan and chakra. This attack on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must have been done by the Uchiha!
Thinking of this, Danzo said solemnly:

"Just follow my orders. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we cannot let the Uchiha find an opportunity to attack the village."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Listening to his subordinates' responses, Danzo's eyes involuntarily turned to where the Nine-Tails was.

He brought his subordinates to the outskirts of the Uchiha clan, on the one hand to guard against the Uchiha, and on the other hand to preserve his strength to see if there was a chance to become Hokage in the future.

He still remembered that a year ago, he had provided Bai Ye with two plans to seize power. One was to quietly develop, and after all the opponents were dead, he would naturally become the leader of the ninja village by relying on his qualifications and power.

The other is to stand up when the ninja village encounters a crisis, become a hero in the eyes of everyone, and become the supreme leader of the village with absolute prestige and fame.

He was always thinking about implementing the second plan.

But when opportunities were presented before him, he always couldn't help but retreat and did not dare to risk death to become a hero in the sun.

From this perspective, what that brat Bai Ye said was right. He really did not have the courage to be a hero.

……

When Danzo led the Root to block the Uchiha clan's territory, the Uchiha inside the clan was also in an uproar.

As early as when the Nine-Tailed Fox just appeared outside the village, they sensed its huge and violent chakra aura.

The violent Nine-Tails Chakra not only did not make them retreat, but instead activated the fighting blood in their bodies. They couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield to restore the glory of the Uchiha clan.

But when the Uchiha ninja gathered their team and appeared in front of the security building.

However, a Root ninja appeared in front of them and conveyed the order from the Hokage: the Uchiha guard force must stay where they are and must not step out of the clan territory, otherwise it will be regarded as treason.

After hearing this order, the Uchiha Jonin's face became extremely ugly.

Soon, someone wanted to disobey the order and leave the clan territory, but was stopped by Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader.

Fugaku, who was wearing the uniform of the security captain, said sternly: "Everyone, stay where you are and don't go out even a step!"

"Captain Fugaku, why?"

"Yes, why would the Anbu ninja not let me go out? If we really don't go out to support today, how will the ninjas and villagers in the village look at us?"

"They'll think we Uchiha are cowards who don't even have the courage to fight."

"Yes, we can accept death in battle, but we will never allow the honor of the Uchiha to be tarnished!"

Fugaku glanced around and looked at every Uchiha ninja. He said in a tone that could not be refused: "This is the order of the Hokage. Do you want to become a traitor?"

"This time it was the Nine-Tails that broke free of its seal and attacked the village. Although we did not attack the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, in the entire ninja world, we Uchiha are the only ones who have the ability to control the Nine-Tails! It is normal for the village to be wary of us."

At this time, an Uchiha jonin stood up and said:
"But we really didn't attack the Nine-Tails. If we had the ability to control the Nine-Tails, why would we wait until now?"

Fugaku heard this, glanced at the Uchiha Jonin and said:
"It is precisely because we are innocent that we cannot leave our clan even a step. Otherwise, we Uchiha will never be able to clear ourselves of the blame for tonight's turmoil. So for the glory of the Uchiha, please be patient and wait."

"The Fourth Hokage is different from the previous two Hokage. He does not discriminate against us Uchiha and has issued many policies that are beneficial to us in the past few months."

"I believe that by the end of tonight, the Yondaime will clear us of suspicion."
