Root’s personnel have all been reassigned. Those who needed to be dealt with have been dealt with, and those who needed to be placed elsewhere have been placed elsewhere.
Danzo has no one left to use, and the ANBU are constantly watching him, making it impossible for anyone to et him easily.
So, how did he get the information?
It must be from the ANBU!!!
Given Danzo’s nature, it would be strange if he didn’t have so spies within the ANBU.
The Third Hokage’s face imdiately fell:
"I don’t want sothing like this to happen a second ti!!!"
Usually, the Third Hokage turns a blind eye to Danzo’s spies, but in this case, it was intolerable for soone to be gathering information for Danzo.
If soone couldn’t keep their mouth shut and accidentally leaked the information, causing the Daimyo to hold them accountable, it would be a huge problem.
At this mont, the Third Hokage did not want to clash with the Daimyo because they had not yet received this year’s developnt funds.
If the Daimyo got upset and withheld the funds, it would be a major headache.
"Yes."
The ANBU ninja lowered his head in guilt, silently cursing: Which idiot did this?
Danzo demanded to see him, and the Third Hokage couldn’t just pretend it hadn’t happened.
Moreover, after what Danzo had just pulled, the Third Hokage had lost the mood to continue handling official duties. He left the Hokage’s office building and went to Danzo’s small courtyard where he was living in retirent.
"Hiruzen, what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting so cowardly? Have you forgotten our original intentions?"
"The Uchiha clan is simply incorrigible! And that Uchiha Kazuki that evil brat, dared to attack a village ninja, and Kakashi is still an ANBU squad captain!!"
"What do those Uchiha think they’re doing?"
The Third Hokage had just arrived and was imdiately bombarded by Danzo’s complaints, causing the ANBU ninjas around them to break out in a cold sweat.
’Sir, your anger is understandable, but please don’t take it out on the Hokage!’
"..."
Not only was his good mood ruined, but he also got a faceful of scolding after coming all this way to see Danzo.
No wonder the Third Hokage’s expression was so grim.
Especially since Danzo showed him no respect, scolding him right in front of all the ANBU ninjas.
Who could tolerate that?
"Danzo!!"
The Third Hokage’s face darkened as he reprimanded:
"As for the matter with Kakashi, the Uchiha have already explained and apologized, and they even returned the Sharingan, promising that nothing like this would happen again. What more do you want?"
"Do you think an apology, a promise, and returning the Sharingan is enough to settle this?"
Danzo retorted, his neck stiff.
"Is this really your concern?"
The Third Hokage snapped back:
"Danzo, do you not understand your own situation? The Daimyo has been watching you and watching . At a ti like this, you’re still obsessed with the Uchiha, still wanting to target them?"
’What do you an I’m obsessed with the Uchiha and still want to target them?’
’Isn’t this our long-standing approach and strategy?’
’How did it suddenly beco my problem?’
Caught off guard by the accusation, Danzo was montarily stunned.
Fortunately, as soone who has borne many such burdens, he didn’t mind taking the bla this ti either.
"Anyway, we cannot let Kazuki get away with this, nor can we let Uchiha Shisui. All of them need to be dealt with!"
’I’ve made myself perfectly clear, yet you still won’t let it go?’
The Third Hokage was furious.
’Is Danzo trying to push the Uchiha to the brink, forcing them into a desperate fight with the village, leading to mutual destruction?’
At that mont, the Third Hokage lost any desire to argue with Danzo.
"Whatever needs to be done, I’ll handle it myself. You don’t need to worry about it. Just focus on your recovery."
’I’m the Hokage, yet you want to sit above and give orders?’
"The Uchiha may be highly suspicious, but it’s just suspicion, and your approach is too extre."
"Danzo, forcing the Uchiha to the brink is not good for the village either. If the Uchiha undergo a drastic change, it will ultimately harm the village. I hope you can put away those dangerous and unrealistic ideas. Oh, and from now on, the ANBU will no longer provide you with any information or reports. Just rest well."
After saying this, the Third Hokage turned and left.
As he left the courtyard, he shot a glare at the squad captains, making it clear that such a thing couldn’t happen again. He didn’t care who was responsible; the squad captains needed to keep their people in line.
"You will regret this, Hiruzen!!!"
Danzo shouted in frustration, but there was no response.
The Third Hokage didn’t want to push the Uchiha too hard, didn’t want to stir up trouble at this ti, and certainly didn’t want Danzo causing more issues.
Right now, the village needed stability.
The Third Hokage left, leaving Danzo fuming.
The ANBU squad captains responsible for monitoring Danzo were in a foul mood as well.
They quickly gathered their subordinates.
"I don’t care who did it, but there will be no next ti. You’ve seen the Hokage’s attitude. If so people can’t control themselves, don’t drag down your comrades and teammates."
"From today onwards, no one on a mission can act alone. You must operate in pairs, and no one is to leave their partner’s sight."
’Catching the mole?’
’It’s pointless.’
’Catching a mole within the ANBU cos at a high cost, so these squad captains could only issue warnings and enforce pair formations to prevent the planted spies from continuing to follow orders and deliver information to Danzo.’
The Hokage was very displeased with what happened this ti, and it couldn’t be allowed to happen again.
Otherwise, everyone would lose face.
Danzo had intended to deliver a critical blow to the Uchiha. Even if he couldn’t do that, he at least wanted to cause them so trouble.
But who would have thought that instead of finding trouble for the Uchiha, he ended up in a quagmire himself? The most frustrating part was that it was his own doing.
At the Daimyo’s residence, a reasonably well-liked barbecue restaurant had beco a favorite spot for Konoha’s ninjas.
The Uchiha clan mbers were no exception.
After finishing their duties, Uchiha Ryoichi and his teammates headed to the barbecue restaurant to treat themselves.
It was dinnerti, and the restaurant was packed.
Ryoichi and his group were seated in a corner, and as luck would have it, the table next to them was occupied by soone the Uchiha weren’t too fond of—Sarutobi Asuma.
Asuma looked like he was in a bad mood, sitting with a few companions, eating barbecue, drinking, smoking a cigarette, and lounging around with his legs crossed, exuding a thuggish vibe.
Today, instead of relaxing at the palace, the Daimyo’s group was having a garden banquet, and Asuma happened to be part of the protection detail.
What he didn’t expect was that a simple guard duty would leave him seething with anger.
