Naruto: Saving the Uchiha

As for whose proposal it was, it doesn't matter now.

The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the Daimyo.

"So, the Uchiha also know about this?" Koharu grasped the key point.

The Third Hokage sighed heavily, understanding her implication:

"I wanted to test Uchiha Kazuki, so I took him to the palace to meet the Daimyo. So... he knows everything."

Koharu: "..."

Homura was so angry that he pounded his chest:

"Hiruzen, you fool, how could you take him along?

What are you waiting for?

Send someone to block off the Uchiha district immediately. No Uchiha should leave without permission. If the news gets out, where will Konoha's reputation be?"

"I have already informed the Anbu."

The Third Hokage said wearily:

"If any related news spreads in the village, it will be immediately sealed. I will also remind Shisui. For now, let's deal with Root."

"Root will not be disbanded, and I will not accept it."

Root had finally developed to its current state. If it were suddenly disbanded, what would Danzo have left?

He might even be forced into retirement, becoming a nobody.

This result was unacceptable to Danzo.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage. I have the authority to disband any department in Konoha, including Root."

The power was given by me, and if I want to take it back, you can't stop me.

Discussing it was giving you face, giving you an out. If you don't cooperate, you will lose everything.

A moment of silence followed.

Danzo remained grim and silent, and Koharu and Homura were speechless as well.

They knew that the Third Hokage had made up his mind to disband Root, at least until the Daimyo was stabilized.

As for Danzo, he might not even be able to keep his position as Hokage's advisor, let alone preserve Root.

Danzo was in serious trouble.

The Third Hokage, looking stern, smoked constantly. Koharu and Homura knew that whenever he was like this, he was weighing his decisions.

This meant he was about to make a final decision.

"Danzo, everything I do is for the village. Root will be disbanded."

Sure enough, the moment the Third Hokage set down his pipe, the decision was made.

The Third Hokage ultimately chose to give up on Danzo and Root.

He decided to side with the Daimyo, as the development and peace of the village and the Land of Fire could not afford his hesitation.

Danzo was important to him; otherwise, with all the evil deeds Danzo had done, in any other village, he would have been killed long ago.

But with the Third Hokage's protection, Danzo had not only survived but thrived.

However, compared to the entire Konoha and the Land of Fire, Danzo was less significant.

At least the Third Hokage would choose the village over his old partner.

Everything I do is for the village.

Danzo could never have imagined that the words he often used to deceive others and defend himself would now become the Third Hokage's reason to convince himself.

Those words were harsh.

They felt like sharp spikes piercing deeply into Danzo's heart.

At this moment, Koharu and Homura didn't dare make a sound.

They chose silence because they knew that nothing they said could change the Third Hokage's decision.

"Root will be disbanded. I will allow you to keep a few people as your subordinates.

Moreover, you need to retire for a while. I will still keep the position of Hokage's advisor for you."

Not only was Root being disbanded, but the Third Hokage was also stripping Danzo of his position.

He was being sent home to retire.

It was a comprehensive arrangement for Danzo.

While the Hokage's office was bustling, Kazuki couldn't see this dramatic scene. He had just arrived at Shisui's house.

"Waa! Waa!"

As Kazuki approached, the piercing cries of crows spread, particularly sharp in the night.

Looking at the yard full of crows, Kazuki couldn't help but complain, "What a bad luck!"

Of all things to raise, why crows?

Awoken from his sleep, Shisui, draped in his clothes, jumped onto the windowsill.

Seeing Kazuki in the yard shooing away the crows, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Stop yelling, or I'll roast you."

Crows are inherently ominous, with their sharp cries and aggressive nature, making them widely disliked.

In the entire Uchiha clan, no, in all of Konoha, only Shisui liked these birds, and he even got Itachi into it.

Of course, this was just a threat to scare these intelligent crows.

Kazuki wouldn't actually roast them. In a world where people die every day, who would want to eat crows?

You wouldn't even know if its last meal was on some corpse.

"Kazuki, did you come over in the middle of the night just to scare my crows?"

"Raise something less unlucky."

After a bit of banter, Kazuki sat on the windowsill:

"I need to talk to you about something important concerning Konoha and the Uchiha."

"Go ahead."

Shisui's annoyed face quickly turned serious. He waved his hand, sending the crows away to rest.

These intelligent crows, following their master's command, soon dispersed into the night sky.

Entering Shisui's house, Kazuki sat on the sofa and said to Shisui, who was pouring water:

"I accompanied the Hokage to the Daimyo to handle some matters. We met the Daimyo, who had received intelligence that our Hokage's advisor planned to assassinate him to support someone else."

Clang!

Shisui's hand shook, causing the cup to fall and shatter on the floor.

"That's impossible!!!"

Shisui's eyes widened in shock. He thought Kazuki was joking or slandering Danzo.

'I knew you'd have this reaction.'

Among the high-ranking members, Shisui trusted the Third Hokage and Danzo the most.

Kazuki leaned back:

"I'm not joking. This is true. The Daimyo was furious and withheld the funds meant for Konoha's development. The Hokage went to the Daimyo because of this."

"The Daimyo doesn't even trust our people and wants protection from Iwagakure and Kumogakure, fearing Danzo might actually assassinate him."

"To stabilize the Daimyo, I recommended you to him. You will go to the Daimyo side to protect him. You must ensure his safety. Only by stabilizing the Daimyo can we handle this properly. Otherwise, if the news spreads, Danzo and Konoha will become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world."

With Kazuki's alarming words, the seriousness of the situation escalated significantly.
