In the conference room, all the honorary elders and advisor elders were seated.
Even Akimichi Torifu, who usually enjoys a peaceful retirement at home, made a rare appearance in the meeting room.
We meet once a month to discuss important matters in Konoha.
Honorary elders can only offer suggestions; the final decision rests with the Hokage and the advisor elders.
Even though he is the Hokage, it's all for naught if the advisors and elders all oppose him.
However, it hasn't been this chaotic in recent years.
In the past two or three years, the Third Hokage has aged rapidly.
The valor of the ninja heroes of yesteryear has vanished, leaving only a sense of despondency.
"Now is the time for free speech."
The Third Hokage tapped the table.
The chair creaked open.
Akimichi Torifu stood up, and the chair he had just sat on was severely deformed by the weight.
He hasn't attended meetings in so long that he doesn't even have a designated seat anymore.
“I propose to buy back the shops in Uchiha Eighth Street, re-attract businesses, and revitalize the Eighth Street commercial area.”
Akimichi Tokifu was unwilling to come, but back then, the Akimichi family was the one that snapped up the most shops in the Eighth Street.
After all, the Akimichi family sells barbecue, so being next to the Uchiha clan can attract some customers.
Who would have thought that Danzo would try to steal their techniques, and the Uchiha took everything with them.
The Uchiha store is empty. The more empty stores there are, the fewer customers there are, and other stores suffer as a result.
The shops are owned by the Uchiha clan, and they were centrally located for easier management.
Even though the Uchiha clan has left, they can't be used casually, since it's someone else's property.
If we don't buy it back from the Uchiha, the Eighth Street will remain desolate forever.
"Agree."
"Agree."
"Agreed...qun10609287350..4278."
Many honorary elders seconded the motion, since the elders present were mostly leaders of the great ninja clans and had keen intuition.
Therefore, they are the ones who suffer the most losses.
The third generation looked around and found that two-thirds of the honorary elders agreed, and Akimichi Torifu was still nominally an advisor elder.
The Third Hokage slammed his fist on the table: "Approved. Who will go and talk to the Uchiha?"
Everyone looked toward the Hyuga clan, where two people were sitting: Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
Originally, only Hiashi was an honorary elder, but this time, after Kaito obtained the authorization letter, he handed it over to the clan.
The clan was worried that Kawasaki would come back and settle scores with them.
The Hyuga branch family, having a close past with the Uchiha clan, has many complaints about the main family.
Therefore, Hiashi decided to give the honorary elder position to Hyuga Hizashi, who was on good terms with Kawasaki.
Over the years, no one from the Hyuga branch family has ever served in Konoha's decision-making hierarchy.
This move greatly won over the hearts of the Hyuga branch family.
After the Uchiha clan left, the Hyuga clan spread the news that Danzo had orchestrated it.
While quelling the discontent over the division of the clan, the news was also relayed to other ninja clans.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hyuga Hizashi stood up:
"I'll take care of this."
Seeing that Ri Cha had volunteered, the three generations nodded in satisfaction.
"Hisashi, I've decided on you."
Then the third generation waved to signal Hizashi to sit down.
"Next topic."
The third generation loud voice.
Danzo stood up: "Konoha's monthly mission completion rate is too low. I suggest rebuilding Root. Root can ensure that one-fifth of Konoha's missions are completed."
Akimichi Torifu stood up abruptly: "I object!"
With a snap, the chair he was sitting on completely broke.
"Konoha's economy is in decline, and rebuilding the roots will only increase unnecessary expenses."
Danzo has been causing trouble all these years. If he hadn't forced the Uchiha clan to leave, he would still be happily counting his money at home.
Rebuilding the roots? No way.
"I also object; the roots are completely useless."
"be opposed to."
"be opposed to......"
-
root base.
"Humph!"
"These bastards dare to oppose my proposal."
Danzo returned to the base with a dark expression. Apart from the Shimura clan, the honorary elders of the other ninja clans did not accept his proposal.
He even said the root was useless, which infuriated him.
Danzo understood that everyone was blaming him for the Uchiha's departure.
But he was helpless. He had made a deal with Jue to find Haidou, but now Jue had disappeared.
The honorary elder is gone, and the funding chain has also broken.
He really lost out big time.
Its roots are its strongest point, and now that it's a time of peace and all countries are quiet, people have gradually forgotten the importance of its roots.
Danzo paced back and forth, feeling uneasy about Jue's sudden departure.
The new technology brought by Jue restored his arm to its original freedom.
He no longer needs to use that Mangekyou Sharingan to suppress Hashirama cells.
So Danzo reattached the Sharingan he had previously removed to his right eye, and there was still plenty of room for it.
However, Danzo was always suspicious of others, except for his own unwavering self-confidence.
Now, Jue has mysteriously disappeared again.
"Send someone to call the medical team over."
At Danzo's command, medical personnel quickly assembled.
"I'm worried that my right arm might have been tampered with, that they might have put a seal on it!"
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
...
The Land of Wind, the Hidden Village of Sound.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Kawasaki made remarkable progress.
Finally, he was able to easily defeat Fugaku and Orochimaru in the dream space, and he no longer needed to train so hard in the short term.
That day, Kawasaki and Orochimaru finished planning their next move, left some money behind, and decided to leave.
Although Kabuto did not return to Otogakure during those three months.
However, through the summoning beasts they share with Orochimaru, they can ascertain Kabuto's life or death status.
It is estimated that he is still practicing immortal arts and will not be able to return for the time being.
Since Kabuto's Snake Sage Technique wouldn't be available anytime soon, Kawasaki decided to go find Tsunade first.
First, bring Tsunade back to the Uchiha clan, and then proceed with the subsequent plans.
With a clear purpose, Kawasaki decided to travel alone.
"Kimimaro, you will stay in Otogakure for now and let Orochimaru examine your body."
Just in case.
Kimimaro was reluctant to see Kawasaki leave.
But he understood that only with good health could he better assist Lord Kawasaki.
"I understand, Lord Kawasaki."
Kawasaki reached out and gently stroked Kimimaro's face.
"You have to listen to Orochimaru."
Kimimaro blushed and nodded in agreement.
During the time Bai spent with Kawasaki, he was well-fed and warmly dressed, and his physique was no longer so thin.
He stood to the side, his eyes filled with fear, equally reluctant to part with Kawasaki.
Kawasaki smiled and ruffled Shiro's hair.
"Study ninjutsu diligently here. Orochimaru has collected many ice-style techniques."
We'll see each other again soon.
Bai Taiyang nodded firmly: "Next time, I will definitely be able to help Lord Kawasaki."
"Okay, okay, you can help me next time."
