Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

Morning.

Hokage's Office.

Bang!

Danzo stormed into the office, pushing the door open with anger.

"Hiruzen, how come the plan..."

Halfway through his sentence, he noticed Chiyoe Himemi, the Hokage's secretary, was also in the office. Danzo suppressed his anger and didn't finish his words.

Chiyoe Himemi was standing by the desk, wearing a short skirt and a black, fitted top. Her figure was graceful and alluring, her long, white legs and impressive bust made even Danzo's anger subside a little.

Danzo secretly envied her in his heart.

Damn it, when he became Hokage, he would find a beautiful, sexy, young secretary too.

"Hokage-sama, should I leave for a bit?"

Chiyoe Himemi looked at the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage nodded slightly, and Chiyoe Himemi immediately left, closing the door behind her.

As soon as Chiyoe Himemi left, Danzo's anger flared up again. He loudly questioned the Third Hokage, "Why was the Uchiha hunting plan stopped?"

The Third Hokage didn't answer but first checked if the barrier in his office was intact. Danzo, with his big mouth, always spoke so loudly in his office, saying things that were detrimental to the village's unity, making him very tired.

Luckily, he had always been mindful of his image in public.

This was no exception. The barrier in his office was very strong. Even if they spoke loudly inside, no one outside could hear them.

Even the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan couldn't see through the barrier and see their mouth movements while speaking. There was no need to worry about the conversation leaking out.

"Go on, Hiruzen, why did you stop the plan?"

Danzo was very uncomfortable. His research plan on the Sharingan was at a crucial stage, and he needed a large number of Sharingan. Stopping the hunt for the Uchiha clan at this time would affect his Mangekyo Sharingan.

He only had one Mangekyo Sharingan left.

Despite his best efforts, the other one had only lasted a year before it was rendered useless.

The one on his right eye was the last remaining right eye Mangekyo Sharingan of Kagami.

If he didn't find a solution to the Sharingan's incompatibility with his body, this one wouldn't last long either.

Without the Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength would be greatly affected, and many of his plans would be impossible to execute smoothly.

This was something Danzo didn't want to see, and it was the reason for his current rage.

Danzo was very angry, but the Third Hokage remained calm.

"Recently, there have been large-scale ninja movements on the borders of the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Wind. The Uchiha clan hunting plan has been temporarily suspended," the Third Hokage said.

Danzo frowned after hearing this. The possibility of war was involved. The Uchiha matter was put aside. He said solemnly, "Are those guys trying to start another Great Ninja War? Mito-sama is still alive."

The Third Hokage sighed, "Mito-sama is old after all."

Everyone succumbs to the ravages of time. Even Mito-sama, who had been like a pillar of strength, protecting Konoha during the last Great Ninja War, was now nearly eighty years old.

At eighty, she still had to constantly consume a large amount of her own Chakra to maintain the seal on the Nine-Tails. Only because the Uzumaki clan was naturally blessed with immense Chakra and skilled in sealing jutsu could Mito-sama continue to suppress and seal the Nine-Tails.

But no matter how strong Mito-sama was, her life was nearing its end. The recent ninja movements on the borders of various countries were a kind of probing.

In the face of such probing, Konoha had to respond with force and never show any sign of weakness.

Otherwise... the consequences would be dire.

Therefore, the Third Hokage had to unite all of Konoha's strength. The hunting plan against the Uchiha clan had to be stopped. There was no room for discussion.

Luckily, Danzo was still somewhat sensible and didn't continue to dwell on the Uchiha clan hunting plan.

You could say that Danzo was ambitious and selfish, but his heart for Konoha was genuine. At least, during this period, the safety of Konoha was his top priority.

The Uchiha clan matter was put aside for now. Danzo was more concerned about the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki succession.

"Hiruzen, can that girl shoulder Mito-sama's responsibility and become the new Nine-Tails Jinchūriki?"

Danzo trusted Mito-sama's reputation and strength, but he didn't trust the new Uzumaki girl.

The immense Chakra of the Nine-Tails, even ninjas without Chakra Sensing ability, could directly feel its terrifying power. It was simply not something humans could withstand.

In the entire ninja world, only Uchiha Madara and Hashirama-sama could treat the Nine-Tails like a pet. No one else could do that.

Danzo was really uneasy about putting such a terrifying monster in the hands of a little girl. Wasn't that like putting his own safety in her hands? He was anxious.

"Or, should we restart the Wood Release revival plan?" Danzo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and suggested.

The effectiveness of Wood Release against tailed beasts was undeniable. If Konoha regained Wood Release ninjas, not only could the Nine-Tails be properly handled, but the tailed beast Jinchūriki of other villages would be insignificant.

Moreover... it could also solve the problem of his Sharingan's incompatibility with his body.

Danzo had long researched this aspect of Wood Release.

But he didn't dare to transplant the First Hokage's cells, afraid of death.

Only after the Wood Release revival plan succeeded and he could safely transplant the First Hokage's cells would he dare to do so.

Then, he could possess the Mangekyo Sharingan forever.

Heh!

Danzo's mind was racing, but the Third Hokage didn't buy it. He said, "Don't worry, I've asked Mito-sama. Without taking action, she can hold out for at least ten years."

"Ten years is enough for Kushina to grow."

Compared to the Wood Release revival plan, the Third Hokage trusted the Uzumaki clan's constitution more.

He had seen the girl named Kushina. She indeed possessed the same Adamantine Sealing Jutsu Chakra as Mito-sama.

This Adamantine Sealing Jutsu Chakra, honed through generations of the Uzumaki clan, was almost considered a special Kekkei Genkai inheritance. It could not only be awakened through bloodline inheritance, but its sealing ability was also stronger than that of ordinary people when used in sealing jutsu.

Only this enhanced sealing jutsu Chakra, combined with the corresponding sealing jutsu, could exert a terrifying sealing effect, capable of firmly suppressing and sealing a massive Chakra being like the Nine-Tails.

"Ten years, huh!"

For some reason, hearing that Mito-sama could live for another ten years, Danzo felt a strange sense of disappointment. Luckily, he quickly realized that this wasn't the right emotion. He immediately asked the Third Hokage, "So, what should we do now?"

The Third Hokage glanced at Danzo, tapped his pipe on the desk, lit it, took a puff, and said, "Two Root squads will also join the intelligence gathering on the border. The mission allocation will be decided by the ANBU commander."

"What about me?"

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Danzo immediately frowned, staring at the Third Hokage with a hostile gaze.

Was this old man trying to cut off the bridge after crossing the river? After dealing with the Uchiha clan, would he immediately take back his authority in Root?

"Don't worry, I won't disband Root."

The Third Hokage gave Danzo a reassuring look. Danzo finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Root wasn't disbanded, it would still be the same. He was the most suitable man to lead Root, no one else.

"What about that little boy I assigned to you? Have you made any progress in your research?" The Third Hokage suddenly asked about Kenshi.

"What little boy?" Danzo's expression was a bit confused.

He really didn't remember Kenshi. For the past few years, his mind had been focused on the Sharingan. He hadn't paid any attention to a child.

"..." The Third Hokage's mouth twitched. After taking a deep puff of his pipe, he said with a hint of annoyance and resentment, "Do you really not take my instructions seriously?"

"Cough..." The Third Hokage suddenly adopted this resentful tone and expression. Danzo felt he couldn't handle it.

The Third Hokage's expression now was like when they were playing by the river as children, and he had tickled the Third Hokage while he was taking a nap. When the Third Hokage woke up, he would look at him with that kind of expression, making it impossible to withstand.

For a moment, Danzo's face actually flushed red, as if he had done something wrong to the Third Hokage. He felt a little guilty.

"That... I'll go back and research it immediately."

Danzo quickly said this, turned around, and was about to leave, rushing back to the Root Base to see what the Third Hokage meant by the little boy needing research.

"Wait."

The Third Hokage called out to Danzo, solemnly reminding him, "That little boy is dangerous. I'll give you a year at most. If you haven't found any useful value after a year, then kill that little boy immediately."

In his heart, the Third Hokage was always wary of Kenshi.

After all, he didn't know anything about Kenshi's past, and this unknown made him uneasy.

After a year, whether Danzo had researched Kenshi or not, the Third Hokage planned to kill Kenshi directly to eliminate any future trouble.

Danzo didn't pay attention to the Third Hokage's solemn words. He casually said he understood and then left.
