Chapter 761 You Regret My Shadow

A Kumogakure jounin lurked near Konoha. Given the current war between the two countries, it could already be called a major event.

So time did not pass long, even before Mu Qingzhi arrived at Konoha Hospital, the report compiled by the ANBU was already placed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care much about this report, but after turning it over and seeing the relevant description of the suspected Kumogakure Jonin, his expression suddenly became serious.

A Jonin can already be called the top force in a village besides Kage. Such a being has silently lurked so close to the village. It can be called someone from Konoha's security department. A dereliction of duty to some extent.

...Especially during such a sensitive period when the war between the two villages has temporarily subsided and a large number of injured ninjas have been withdrawn from the front line.

After reading the report, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment unconsciously. He knew all the words in the report, but he couldn't read them together.

...What do you mean that it was a six-year-old little girl from the Uchiha family who discovered this Kumogakure Jonin lurking in? And he successfully dealt with Master Yunying and got Orochimaru's support?

Five years old, little girl, jounin...how are these words connected?

"Huh? There is another report, this is Orochimaru's description..."

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to translate the report again to see if he had read it wrong, he found that there was another brief report underneath this report.

After reading this report, he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, then Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the pipe beside him and started smoking.

"...Uchiha Zhi? A more genius existence than Shisui..."

In addition to the fair description from Orochimaru, the ANBU personnel also added an additional detailed information of the person involved. Originally, opening the Sharingan at the age of five was already a very outrageous thing, but since then Judging from the situation in this document, the other party may have opened the Sharingan earlier than he thought.

Opening the Sharingan is not a simple matter. It not only requires extremely strong emotional stimulation, but also requires a certain amount of talent. Many Uchiha people cannot open their eyes for the rest of their lives.

And the only thing he could think of that could give a child of a few years old a strong stimulus was the Nine-Tails Rebellion last year that brought heavy pain to Konoha.

In other words, the age when Uchiha Zhi opened the Sharingan was not five years old, but four years old... What kind of peerless monster are these?

Now at such a young age, he was able to deal with a Kumogakure Jonin until the arrival of Orochimaru. When the other party grows up, it is only a matter of course to surpass Uchiha Shisui.

Compared with this one, Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha family member who is also known as a genius like Shisui, seems a bit overshadowed.

Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen was just thinking about one thing in his mind.

——As for the existence of Uchiha Zhi, do the people in the Uchiha family know about it.

It would be okay if the Uchiha family didn't know, but if they actually knew it already, and even pushed another Uchiha Itachi to attract attention...

Vaguely, a cold light flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

This is not a deliberate conspiracy theory on his part, the main reason is that the two bright kaleidoscopes in the eyes of the Nine-Tails in the Night of the Nine-Tails are just too scary.

At this moment, there was a sound of crutches leaning on the ground from outside the office. The person didn't mean to knock on the door, so he just opened the door and entered.

"...Danzo?"

Looking up at the figure walking in front of him with a cane and bandages all over his body, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown slightly.

We have been friends for decades, and he can tell why the other person appears here just by looking at the expression on the other person's face.

Different from the ANBU that he, the Hokage's subordinate, controls, Danzo, the Hokage's assistant subordinate, also controls a similar intelligence agency called Root.

There are reports from the Anbu on his side, and the other party will naturally know the relevant things through Gen.

"Five years old... no, even at a younger age, the Sharingan has been opened. There is Uchiha Shisui in the front, and Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Zhi behind. This generation of Uchiha, monsters are really endless. Woolen cloth."

Danzo stood in front of the table with a smile on his face. “Tell me, why did you come to me?”

Somewhat tiredly, he stretched out his hand to press his eyebrows. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at the other party.

"Uchiha Zhi, you must join the root."

Without hesitation, Danzo answered.

"It would be too dangerous for such a talented person to be left with Uchiha. Only by joining the root and controlling it for us can we eliminate the threat to the greatest extent."

"Why, adding the roots will remove the threat?"

Looking up at Danzo in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, I will train her well."

It was rare that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't refute. Seeing the drama, Danzo felt happy.

"Don't worry, Hiruzen, as long as you leave the person in my hands, I will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer. This kind of inherently evil Uchiha brat needs to be corrected at the root..."

"Don't forget, Uchiha is also a member of Konoha."

Interrupting Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe again.

"Not to mention that Uchiha will not agree to this kind of thing, I will not agree to it either."

... Sometimes, he really wants to open Danzo's brain to see what the other party is thinking.

Before, the other party had proposed that Uchiha Itachi, the son of the Uchiha clan leader, join the Root. Now he proposed this again, as if he had not thought about it at all...

Thinking of this, looking up at Danzo in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly turned cold.

"Danzo, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Konoha now can't withstand another turmoil. I will let the Anbu monitor the Root. I will never allow you to mess around!!"

"After so many years, you are still so indecisive. Now Uchiha is too powerful. For the future safety of the village, we must restrict it."

At a glance, the other party saw through his mind and directly exposed it. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting behind the table in front of him, Danzo's eyes were full of disappointment, and his voice suddenly rose eight degrees.

"Hiruzen, you will regret it!!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!!"

Looking up at the other party, Sarutobi Hiruzen confronted him without hesitation.

"………"

After staring at each other for a moment, Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and turned around and walked out the door.

——Following that, there was the sound of the door being slammed shut.
