Ninja Recruitment System

Fugaku hoped that Danzo would escape, so in the process of his capture, Danzo would make some big fuss. Fugaku was hoping to use this method to pressure Danzo and corner him.

But unfortunately, when he arrived at Danzo's residence, Danzo was sitting quietly while drinking tea. Let alone escaping, there was no sign of resistance at all!

Seeing this scene, Fugaku suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Danzo-san, our police department received a report from the villagers that you are a suspect of an assasination attempt against the Hokage. Please come with me to the HQ for further investigation."

Fugaku said as he stared at Danzo's face, hoping to find a trace of panic or fear. Unfortunately, Danzo's expression remained indifferent.

This guy was really not easy to deal with!

Just as Fugaku was thinking about what to do next, Danzo slowly put down the teacup in his hand and calmly spoke.

"Fugaku, do you still hold a grudge against me because of what happened back then?"

Hearing Danzo's words, Fugaku suddenly frowned.

When the Kyubi attacked Konoha, Fugaku originally planned to lead Konoha Military Police Force to join the defense against the Kyubi, but he was stopped by Danzo.

Danzo suspected that the Kyubi incident was related to the Uchiha clan, and because of some selfish motives, he ordered Police Force to stay around the village to maintain order.

The final result was that in the Kyubi chaos, the other clans and villagers suffered casualties. Only the Uchiha clan was intact, which was one of the important reasons why the Uchiha clan was rejected by other villagers.

Fugaku knew that this was Danzo's plan all along!

After all Danzo had done to the Uchiha, of course Fugaku was full of dissatisfaction. This was an opportunity he couldn't miss.

But Fugaku was not stupid enough to display his intentions, so after hearing Danzo's question, he immediately shook his head.

"I don't know what are you talking about. I am just carrying out our official duties. I need to bring you to the HQ, or do you resist?"

Saying this, Fugaku's eyes changed. His black eyes instantly became red, and three black tomoes appeared.

"Sharingan!"

Seeing that Fugaku had already put on a fighting stance, Danzo suddenly laughed softly.

"Haha, Sharingan? Forget it, I will go with you!"

After saying that, Danzo stood up and walked out of the door under the vigilant eyes of Police Force members.

Seeing that Danzo did not resist, a trace of disappointment flashed in Fugaku's eyes. He frowned again and waved to his subordinate next to him.

"Bring Danzo back to the HQ!"

"Yes!"

On the way to Police Force HQ, Danzo seemed to be very cooperative and did not make any radical moves. Even when facing the villagers pointing at him from the side of the street, his expression did not change at all.

He even had the mood to chat with Fugaku.

"I'm curious, who sent you here? It can't be Hiruzen. I know him, he won't do this!"

Hearing Danzo's question, Fugaku, who was walking next to him, suddenly frowned.

"So, you admit that you sent someone to assassinate the Third?"

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Fugaku who was frowning, Danzo smiled and stopped talking.

Soon, Danzo was brought to Police Force HQ, and Fugaku was preparing to arrange an interrogation in a room.

Suddenly, one of his subordinate ran to his side and whispered a few words into his ear.

After hearing his subordinate's words, Fugaku frowned again. Then, he waved to the several members of the Force next to him.

"You guys look after him first. I will be back soon!"

"Yes!"

Seeing this scene, Danzo's face revealed a smile again. At the same time, he looked deeply at Fugaku. His playful expression made Fugaku very uncomfortable.

But at this time, he did not say anything more. Instead, he turned and walked towards his office.

When Fugaku arrived at his office's door, he did not directly open it. Instead, he knocked.

"Knock knock!"

"Is it Fugaku? Come in!"

Hearing the familiar voice inside, Fugaku took a deep breath, then opened the door and walked in.

"Hokage-sama, what business do you have here?"

At this time, the person who appeared in Fugaku's office was none other than Hiruzen who had rushed over after hearing the news.

After hearing Fugaku's words, he immediately explained his purpose.

"I want you to release Danzo immediately. Konoha needs to be stable now. I think you understand what I mean!"

Looking at the serious face of Hiruzen, Fugaku was silent for a while before opening his mouth.

"Hokage-sama, we, the Konoha Military Police Force, exist for the stability of Konoha. We will eliminate any destabilizing factors. Our Uchiha clan has the strength to do so!"

Fugaku said firmly, but after hearing his words, Hiruzen frowned.

"Fugaku, I think you should know that you can't do anything to him just based on the rumors spreading around the village!"

Of course, Fugaku knew that based on rumors alone, he couldn't take any actions. To be precise, the moment Hiruzen came to his office, he couldn't do anything to Danzo.

But it was impossible to let go of Danzo like this, so he thought for a while and then spoke to Hiruzen again.

"Our job is to ensure the safety and stability of the village. Now that the news about Danzo-san's assassination attempt on the Hokage was spread around the village, we can't let him go without interrogation!"

Fugaku's words were reasonable, and even Hiruzen could not find a reason to refute, so he could only frown again.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Seeing that Hiruzen's tone softened, Fugaku was happy, and the expression on his face softened a lot.

"Danzo-san will stay here for a period of time. If we still don't get anything from the interrogation, then we will hand him over to the Anbu's Interrogation Department. Then Hokage-sama will decide!"

Hiruzen understood what Fugaku meant. He just wanted the higher-ups to make some concessions to the Uchiha. If he didn't agree, the Uchiha clan would certainly make a big fuss over this matter.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen closed his eyes and nodded after thinking for a while.

"I know, the village will stop the monitoring of the Uchiha clan, but you must transfer Danzo to the Anbu within three days!"

Fugaku guessed that was probably the biggest offer Hiruzen could make, so he immediately nodded.

"Yes, Hokage-sama. But three days is too short. I will try my best to hand Danzo-san to the Anbu in ten days!"

"Well, ten days it is!"

Hearing Fugaku's words, Hiruzen suddenly nodded, then got up and left the office.

After coming out of the Police Force HQ, Hiruzen pondered as he walked.

"Who exactly told Fugaku this news? It's impossible for the people of the Anbu, and it's even more impossible for the people of the 'Root'. Could it be..."

Thinking of this, Hiruzen's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of realization.

"Ryunosuke! That's right, it must be this kid!"
