Chapter 794 Shimura Danzo's Disaster Day
Although he didn't know why Uchiha Fugaku would find this place, Shimura Danzo had already prepared to deny it in his heart.
In order to get Uchiha Zhi, he spent a total of 30 million taels, which was almost equivalent to the activity funds of the root for more than one year in the future. How could he willingly hand him over?
Moreover, Uchiha Zhi was first controlled by her illusion, and at the same time, he was imprisoned in a secret room known only to him and a few confidants by a special sealing technique. As long as he didn't take the initiative to speak, no one would know that he had imprisoned him there.
...In the final analysis, the other party had no real evidence.
As long as he was not caught in the act, he had too many ways to fool the matter. As long as the time was delayed for a few months or even half a year, under his operation, no one in the village would remember that there was such a genius as Uchiha Zhi in Uchiha.
It just so happens that, in his estimation, if he wants to make Uchiha Zhi completely become his own person, the training time is at least more than half a year.
...Of course, the premise is that he must successfully send away Uchiha Fugaku in front of him.
In fact, he doesn't look down on Uchiha Fugaku, the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, in his heart. After all, judging from his usual performance, he is a little too weak.
If it were Uchiha Setsuna, the absolute radical, they would never dare to push the Uchiha so close, because that madman really dared to lead the Uchiha to break with the village, but like Uchiha Fugaku, the other party not only considered too much, but also hesitated too much, which gave them enough confidence to erode and disintegrate the Uchiha bit by bit.
It is precisely because of this that Shimura Danzo didn't take Uchiha Fugaku who came to him too much to heart. He just wanted to send him away quickly, and he didn't even bother to find a decent excuse.
What he didn't expect was that Uchiha Fugaku, who would choose to be tolerant in most of the time, was unexpectedly difficult at this time.
"Really? But according to Mitarashi Anko, she did see her teacher bring Zhi here with her own eyes."
Looking at Shimura Danzo in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku smiled softly.
"Since Danzo didn't know, maybe he could ask other members of the root."
Having said that, Uchiha Fugaku was actually giving the other party a way out. In his mind, he didn't want to conflict with Shimura Danzo.
After all, in his cognition, Orochimaru, as a third-generation disciple, was still a pillar of the village. Danzo might have reached some kind of deal with Orochimaru, such as wanting to lure Zhi to join the root, so Orochimaru brought Uchiha Zhi here.
As the head of a clan, he personally came forward to deal with this matter, which was already very face-giving to the other party.
"Mitarashi Anko... I'm sorry, she is now a fugitive, so her words cannot be trusted."
After quickly sorting out the reasons for everything, Shimura Danzo's mind was in a state of panic, and the expression on his face seamlessly changed to a heavy and worried posture.
"Originally, this matter should be kept secret, but in order to prevent the Fugaku clan leader from having any misunderstandings about my roots, I'd better speak out."
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku in front of him, Shimura Danzo spoke in a deep voice.
"According to the joint secret investigation of the Root and the Anbu, Orochimaru has committed the taboo of using village ninjas for human experiments. Tonight, the Third Hokage personally led a team to hunt Orochimaru, and my Root was responsible for coordinating with the Anbu to assist. As a result, at this critical juncture, because of the arrival of the Fugaku clan leader, I had to interrupt the operation and rush back quickly. I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be a rumor from others..."
While observing Uchiha Fugaku's slightly changing face calmly, Shimura Danzo sighed in his mouth.
"Since Orochimaru committed an unforgivable felony, his disciples are naturally untrustworthy. So, his disciple Mitarashi Anko may want to disrupt the Root's actions in this way."
"... And obviously, she succeeded."
Uchiha Fugaku: "..."
... At this moment, he didn't know who to trust.
Orochimaru's story can't be faked. After all, it is a fact that can be easily verified. Although Mitarashi Anko doesn't seem to be lying... But with Orochimaru's personality, it doesn't seem difficult to understand that he would induce his disciples to do such a thing?
"How about this, since Chief Fugaku is still worried, why don't you go with me to visit the Root Base?"
Seeing the hesitation on Uchiha Fugaku's face, Shimura Danzo made way.
"Since a large number of Root ninjas have been sent to help assist the Hokage's arrest operation, there are not many people in the base. Except for some absolutely confidential places that cannot be made public, other places can still be visited by Chief Fugaku."
"... In this case, I will obey your order."
After a moment of hesitation, Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
Shimura Danzo: "..."
No... you really dare to go in and visit?
Originally, he used this move to retreat in order to advance. After all, according to his understanding of Uchiha Fugaku, the other party would not really go into the Root to visit, and might even take the initiative to pack up that Mitarashi Red Bean and send it to the Root.
But he didn't expect that the other party would not play by the rules at all.
...But it doesn't matter.
Walking in front to lead the way for the other party, Shimura Danzo's face was as gloomy as water.
The place where he imprisoned Uchiha Zhi was a secret among secrets. It has always been in the deepest part of the Root Base, almost isolated from the world. No more than three people know the existence of that place. Even if he took Uchiha Fugaku to visit the Root Base from beginning to end, he couldn't get there.
——The other party forced to visit the Root Base, and in the end it was just self-humiliation.
In the final analysis, Uchiha Zhi is already his... No, now he should be called Shimura Zhi.
After that, in that room, he will train and brainwash the other party for more than half a year, until the other party completely becomes an existence that only listens to his orders.
...After he ascends to the throne of Hokage, the other party will become his direct Anbu, and will also be the sharpest knife under his command! !
With this beautiful vision of the future, Shimura Danzo's steps became a little lighter.
——Then the next minute, he just stepped into the parliament hall and saw Uchiha Zhi sleeping soundly on the main table in the center.
Shimura Danzo: "???"
