Chapter 32
"Since you all agree, let's act as soon as possible. I'll contact the Uchiha clan first, and I'll leave Tsunade and Jiraiya-sama to you and Ding Zuo." In this situation, one more friend means one more strength. Besides, the strength of the Uchiha clan is enough to influence the situation. No matter how unruly they are, we should do our best to win them over.
"clear!"
"Leave it to us."
………………
At the same time, in the Hyuga clan land~
"Dear elders, how should we deal with the disappearance of the Sandaime?"As the head of the clan, facing this major event that concerns the direction of the entire clan, Hyuga Hiashi can only ask for the opinions of the elders before making plans.
"Humph, we don't need to get involved in this boring power struggle. No matter who comes to power, they can't do without our Hyuga clan."The second elder, Hyuga Kamon, looked down on the Konoha high-ranking officials with a little arrogance.
"You can't say that. Everyone knows Danzo's style of doing things. When he was the leader of the Root, he frantically searched for the secrets of various tribes and even forced the tribesmen to work for him. If he becomes the fifth Hokage, the life of our Hyuga clan will be difficult. After all, our Byakugan is not in vain."Unlike the arrogant second elder, the fourth elder Hyuga Natsusuke knows Danzo's character very well.
"The second and fourth elders may think too highly of our Byakugan. Compared to our Byakugan, Danzo seems to be more interested in the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. With the Uchiha clan in the lead, why should we worry about Danzo? He is just a dead person. Even if he is allowed to take the position, he probably won't live for many years."Faced with the opinions of the elders, Hyuga Hiashi put forward his own views at the right time.
"Hmm? Hiashi is right. We forgot how old Danzo is. We have all grown old without realizing it. The second elder was talking about Danzo, but he was secretly sighing in his heart.
"If that's the case, then Danzo is indeed not a concern."The third elder felt his body was weakened and secretly compared his age with Danzo's.
"Then just ignore it, how it was in the past, and it will continue as usual in the future?" The fourth elder didn't care about the rolling eyes at this time.
"Well, let's do it as usual, it's just Danzo." In the end, it was the Great Elder who made the final decision on the matter.

Uchiha clan, clan leader's residence~
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the Sandaime-sama do such a thing? This must be the old dog Danzo who is slandering the Sandaime-sama. Father, we can't just sit back and watch. The Uchiha clan is the most powerful family in Konoha. How can we allow a shady person like Danzo to usurp the throne and seize power!"
As a member of the Anbu and the young patriarch of the most powerful family in Konoha, no one understands the Sandaime-sama better than himself. The Sandaime-sama.........I will never do those things.
"Itachi, calm down first. Danzo is the elder after all, and now that the Sandaime is missing, we don't have the backbone even if we want to defend him."Alas~ Although I am very happy that the Sandaime is missing, if it is Danzo who takes over, I would rather the Sandaime is not missing
"Can......Are we just going to leave Danzo alone?"The Sandaime-sama must be under house arrest by Danzo, and it's possible that......
Uchiha Itachi didn't dare to think about it anymore. Brother Shisui died at the hands of that guy Danzo, and now even the Sandaime-sama...
No wonder the Sandaime-sama said that when he asked Shisui to make the decision before, it turned out that Danzo's power had become so powerful?
"I will call the elders together to discuss and make plans. After all, Danzo's attitude towards the Uchiha clan is obvious to all, and we really can't just leave it alone."Although the Sandaime also targeted the Uchiha clan, at least he would not be as blatant as Danzo. If Danzo came to power, the Uchiha clan would not be able to survive. The clan members were already clamoring for a coup, and if they were provoked by Danzo, the consequences would be............
"this......All right."The people who rely on the family? They probably hope that the Sandaime-sama will never show up. Humph, since you don't care, I will investigate it myself. Although the hope is slim, I can't just ignore the Sandaime-sama. Maybe Danzo still remembers the old friendship and just puts the Sandaime under house arrest?
Phew~ I have to cheer myself up, the Sandaime-sama is still waiting for me to save him.
Afternoon~
"What is the purpose of Chief Shikaku's visit to our Uchiha clan this time? Fugaku did not remember that the Uchiha clan had any intersection with Ino-Shika-Chou."This group of lackeys of the Sandaime came to us at this critical moment. Could it be that there was a turnaround on the Sandaime's side?
""Clan leader Fugaku, I believe you have also received the news about what happened last night. Now that Elder Danzo has taken over, how will the Uchiha clan respond?" Nara Shikaku poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who had a serious face.
"Hmm? As the most powerful clan in Konoha, the Uchiha clan cannot do without us no matter who comes to power. We will deal with it as we did in the past."Nara Shikaku came to ask about this matter today for no reason. The relationship between the Uchiha clan and Danzo is not a secret. The other party suddenly brought up this matter, which obviously means something else. Wait
, if Danzo comes to power, they, the lackeys of the Third Hokage, may be listed as the primary target of attack, so......The situation that Ino-Shika-Chou is facing now is similar to that of the Uchiha clan.......Almost?
Nara Shikaku's purpose of coming here should be to form an alliance to resist the pressure brought by Danzo.
"Haha, I'm afraid that Chief Fugaku is just wishful thinking, right? Even if the Uchiha clan wants to live in peace, I guess our Lord Danzo will not let the Uchiha clan go. After all, Danzo's past style has already explained everything, right?"
"Humph, so what? In the past, the Uchiha clan would not be afraid of Danzo. Now that he has taken the position of Hokage, our Uchiha clan will not be afraid. He is just the Hokage. It is not like our Uchiha clan has not been targeted by a series of high-level officials such as the Hokage."It seems that Shikaku is indeed here to form an alliance
"Well, there is no need for you to pretend to be calm, Chief Fugaku. I will speak frankly. The situation of the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans is similar to that of the Uchiha clan. We are also being targeted. I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between us." Nara Shikaku put down his teacup and stated the purpose of his trip straight to the point.
"Oh, we, the Uchiha clan, feel deep sympathy for what happened to the Ino, Shika and Chou clans, but I'm sorry I can't help you. After all, this is how the Uchiha clan got through in the past, and even the Ino, Shika and Chou clans were the vanguards against the Uchiha clan in the past." Looking at Nara Shikaku who couldn't sit still, Uchiha Fugaku felt secretly happy.
You, Ino, Shika and Chou clans, have also suffered this day? Why didn't you think of today when you followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's ass and barked wildly in the past?
