Chapter 175: Changes of Three Generations

Hokage Building.

Hokage Office.

The Third Hokage was already in the office very early. I wonder if he didn't sleep.

But the Third Hokage looked sharp and energetic.

Jiraiya came in directly from the window.

Jiraiya was all dirty and even had a lot of blood on him.

"Old man, it's done. I accidentally lost a man."

Jiraiya was a little apologetic. He was so well prepared, but he still lost a man. It was really embarrassing.

The raid last night was a secret order issued by the Third Hokage himself. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the Third Hokage recalled all the Anbu back to the base.

The Third Hokage personally selected the candidates, and the others who were slightly suspicious, whether they were related to Danzo, Mito Kado En or Utatane Koharu.

All of them were excluded by the Third Hokage. They were not even allowed to leave the base in order to ensure the confidentiality of the raid.

In order to avoid greater casualties in the Anbu, the Third Hokage instructed them to use all their strength.

So when Jiraiya went there, he directly activated the Sage Mode and acted as a vanguard.

The Root was originally Danzo's base camp, and there were countless people who were brainwashed by Danzo.

And these people who were brainwashed by Danzo could not be turned against.

Now Konoha seems to be calm, but in fact it is in danger.

Since he has made up his mind, the order issued by the third generation is to kill without mercy!

As expected, even if the Root system is not restored.

But there are still many people from the original Root hiding in Danzo's base.

These people are all Danzo's diehard fans. Even if Jiraiya took the lead and broke into the door, he was followed by 30 Anbu and surrounded.

These people refused to surrender.

Jiraiya also took action directly, killing people.

There were more than 30 people who died at Jiraiya's hands alone. At the beginning, it was good because Jiraiya in the Sage Mode was the vanguard.

There were no casualties in the front.

As a result, they encountered Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Togen, and the Anbu accidentally lost one person under the nano-level poisonous insects.

Only sixteen others were injured to varying degrees.

This raid was a great success, and eleven Root researchers were captured in the end.

These were all people who had followed Danzo for many years, and they could extract a lot of evidence from Danzo.

Jiraiya reported the detailed battle situation to the Third Hokage.

"I also found a secret passage inside, but it was blown down. Someone must have escaped in the chaos."

The Third Hokage nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. The results this time are already good. Leave the rest to me. You go and rest first. Other things will be discussed later."

"Okay, old man, I'll go to sleep first." Jiraiya yawned and walked out slowly.

The Third Hokage sat quietly in the office waiting.

It is actually very difficult to keep such a large-scale Anbu transfer secret.

At least Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En can't be concealed.

So the Third Hokage chose the time at night.

There are even people from the Shimura clan behind Shimura Danzo, but Shimura Danzo has always sucked blood from the clan over the years.

The relationship between the Shimura clan and him has become a little distant, but if the Shimura clan knows that the Third Hokage is determined to eliminate Danzo, it may still be a bit troublesome.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu really came.

Both of them looked unhappy, and Mito Kado En said: "Hiruzen, why didn't you discuss such a big decision with us?"

"That's right, the Anbu notified us early this morning that you actually sent Jiraiya to raid the Root base. Didn't we agree to just lock Danzo up for a while?"

Utane Koharu complained a little, of course, although she and Danzo were teammates.

But the reason she was uncomfortable was that the Third Hokage bypassed them.

He gave the order directly.

The position of advisor elder was actually set up to check the power of the Hokage.

In recent years, the Third Hokage has also discussed everything with them.

It was agreed before that it was just a show, and Danzo would be arrested and locked up for a while.

After the Uchiha succession ceremony was over, Danzo would be released.

As a result, Danzo's roots were directly eradicated.

And it was not a dismissal, but all the diehards of Danzo were killed directly.

Even if there were escapees, there were only two or three kittens.

All the people in the Anbu were banned and gathered at the Anbu base.

No one could leave, and they had to wait until Jiraiya's people returned before they could be released.

Therefore, the secret lines of the two advisory elders could only spread the news after the fact.

What was contained in it was very scary.

So the two advisory elders came in a hurry and asked what the Third Hokage meant.

The Third Hokage did not give any explanation, but said lightly:

"Do I need your consent for any order I give?"

Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En were both shocked. Why did the Third Hokage suddenly become so strange?

"The situation in Konoha is now in jeopardy. For a period of time, I will directly order whatever I want to do."

"You should also keep an eye on your own people. I don't want any misunderstandings to occur. As for your opinions, put them aside for now."

The third generation's voice was not loud, but his attitude was extremely tough.

These words clearly told Mitomonen and Utane Koharu.

In the future, I will only notify you when I do something, instead of consulting you.

"If you have nothing to do, go down." The third generation directly ordered him to leave.

Seeing the different look of the third generation Hokage, Utaine Koharu grabbed Mitomon En who wanted to speak.

"I know, Hiruzen, we'll leave now."

Mitomon En didn't understand, but still let Utaine Koharu pull him out.

After leaving, Mitomon En whispered: "What's wrong, Koharu."

Utaine Koharu glanced back, and then said with an ugly look:

"Hiruzen looks the same as he did back then. If you go to offend him now, aren't you looking for death?"

Mitomon En was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and trembled all over.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has become more and more easy-going in recent years, so Mitomon En almost forgot about it.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen took over as the third generation Hokage, he showed amazing courage in the face of oppression from various families.

Promote various civilian talents and vigorously select people with potential as Anbu.

The heirs of various large families suddenly encountered various accidents.

Especially the strongest Senju clan in Konoha. After Nawaki had an accident, Tsunade's boyfriend, Kato Dan, also had an accident.

Tsunade was depressed and left Konoha.

The village began to recruit young and strong men from the Senju clan to volunteer for experiments on the pretext of studying Wood Release.

None of the experiments were successful in the end, but many young and strong men of the Senju clan were lost.

Since then, the Senju clan has disappeared.

The representative of the family faction, Hatake Sakumo, was troubled by public opinion because of the failure of the mission.

The most incredible thing is that the people who were rescued actually came forward to accuse Hatake Sakumo.

The public opinion of the whole village was rampant.

As the shadow of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent about it, let it go, and did not do anything to stop it.

In the end, Hatake Sakumo committed suicide.

The third generation Hokage completed the high degree of centralization of the Hokage line.

The remaining ninja clans, except for Uchiha and Hyuga, almost all became vassals of the Hokage line.

The Sarutobi clan of the Third Hokage has not been well-known in recent years.

But Utane Koharu knows that the Sarutobi clan has quietly developed many ninjas.

The Third Hokage even asked her and Mito Kado En to do some private operations, and both of them gained a lot of benefits.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is now undoubtedly the same as he was back then. He will use the force of thunder to eliminate all those who disobey.

The news that Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En received was that the leader was still Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and Jiraiya even used the Sage Mode.

The whole battle was almost a crushing defeat, and the casualties of the Anbu were minimal.

Thinking about this, Mito Kado En also frowned. Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became strong, what on earth was it for...

...

In the woods far away from Konoha Village.

A cough came from a hidden cave.

"Cough... cough..."

Shin walked out of the secret passage at the root.

He leaned on a long knife and walked out of the secret passage while coughing.

Every time he coughed, blood flowed out from his fingers.

He looked back at the ruins at the root in the distance, brother, please don't come back.
