Danzo Shimura burst out of the door.
He knew that there was no point in continuing the conversation.
The decision to disband the redundant root members became a certainty.
With this order, the power of the Root will shrink by at least half.
"Qing, put the cost of replacing the door on Danzo's account."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the empty gate and gave the order.
The Anbu base not far from the Hokage Building.
Uchiha Itachi stood by the window, looking at the thriving Konoha Village.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
He had a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with Danzo Shimura today.
It was this encounter that made him certain of one thing.
Uchiha Shisui's eye was indeed inside Shimura Danzo's eye socket.
Danzo Shimura was not a member of the Uchiha clan, so he could not close his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Therefore, at close range, he noticed something was amiss.
After all, Shisui Uchiha's other eye was in his hand.
Unfortunately, he was unable to avenge Uchiha Shisui.
This would completely ignite the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
However, Itachi Uchiha also saw hope.
That is, Tsunade becomes the new Hokage.
Given her hatred for Shimura Danzo, the Uchiha clan might be able to retrieve Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Just then, Itachi Uchiha had a sudden thought and turned to look at the doorway.
"Itachi".
Fugaku Uchiha walked in.
"Father."
Itachi Uchiha was somewhat surprised, but he quickly guessed why Fugaku Uchiha was looking for him.
Why did Tsunade ask you to come with her to Root?
Fugaku Uchiha asked directly.
He knew his son was smart, so he didn't try anything complicated.
"It's because Kakashi-senpai and I went with her on a mission to Kusagakure last time."
Uchiha Itachi replied, "Lady Tsunade probably thinks our strength is not bad."
"I see."
Fugaku Uchiha thought it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement.
If that's the case, then its significance is worth pondering.
"If there are any more missions for Tsunade, you can try your best to take them."
Fugaku Uchiha thought for a moment and then said.
"I see."
Itachi Uchiha paused for a moment and said, "There's one more thing."
He recounted how Hiruzen Sarutobi had dealt with the Root.
"what?"
Fugaku Uchiha looked shocked.
He thought the matter was over, but he never expected such an explosive follow-up.
This is the biggest setback the Root has suffered since its founding.
The number of people has been reduced by more than half, which is a huge loss.
However, on the other hand, the pressure on the Uchiha clan will be greatly reduced.
This is undoubtedly a new landscape for Konoha Village!
Chapter 167 Kitazawa's Soaring Status
Monday of the third week of November.
Konoha Village was unusually lively because Tsunade forcibly entered the Root base and Shimura Danzo disbanded the non-compliant Root members.
However, this information is only known to a select few, such as the various ninja clans and the high-ranking officials of Konoha Village.
For ordinary villagers and ninjas, it was another peaceful day for Konoha Village.
Kitazawa woke up early as always.
After washing up, I went to the ninja school.
"Good morning, Kitazawa-sensei."
Hinata Hyuga stood gracefully at the office door to greet him.
"Good morning."
Kitazawa patted her head and said with a smile.
He felt that Hinata Hyuga was almost like a lucky cat, waiting for him at the door of his office every morning.
"Come and eat."
Kitazawa glanced at it.
Apart from Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka and the others didn't come over for a free meal today.
"Ah."
Hinata Hyuga nodded.
She was overjoyed and quickened her pace considerably.
I walked up to the coffee table and sat on the sofa. Because of my height, my two bare little feet dangled in the air and swayed slightly.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Hinata Hyuga suddenly remembered something and said, "My father told me yesterday that you can come to my house for dinner if you have time."
Kitazawa paused slightly as he took out the breakfast.
Why did I invite him to dinner out of the blue?
yesterday?
Kitazawa seemed to have figured out the reason.
It's most likely related to Tsunade's forced entry into the Root base.
He is now considered by various ninja clans to be Tsunade's confidant, hence his soaring status.
Kitazawa couldn't help but sigh that Tsunade still held too much of a status in Konoha.
He hadn't even become her student yet, but he was already close to becoming a high-ranking member of Konoha Village.
However, Tsunade was probably quite troubled at this moment.
Her personality leads her to be extremely high-profile in her actions.
This forced entry into the root base is seen by many as a signal or omen.
Even if Tsunade didn't want to be Hokage, others would find a way to make her.
It just goes to show what I said in my past life: You've caused me so much suffering!
Kitazawa thought about it carefully.
His gains from this raid on the Root base were actually greater than Tsunade's.
Not only did he receive the seal to eradicate the tongue-borne disease, but Tsunade also promised to teach him superhuman strength.
The indirect benefits were an improvement in status and identity, gratitude from the Aburame clan, and overt and covert connections with various ninja clans.
Since the Hyuga clan is trying to befriend him, other ninja clans will probably do the same.
"it is good."
Kitazawa agreed.
Hinata Hyuga couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, appearing happy.
After all, Kitazawa rarely visited her home for meals.
After breakfast, the two arrived at the training ground.
As soon as Kitazawa arrived, he saw a scene that seemed familiar.
Kabuto the Pharmacist is telling a story.
He was surrounded by Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, and Torune Aburame.
Only Kiba Inuzuka and Neji Hyuga did not participate.
The former is in an artificial lake, and the latter is where soft boxing is practiced.
"No sooner said than done, Kitazawa-sensei easily took down the Root ninja who ambushed him with a single Wind Release technique..."
Kabuto Yakushi was telling the story vividly when he saw Kitazawa, at which point he suddenly stopped.
"What's next?"
Naruto Uzumaki didn't notice Kitazawa, but when he stopped talking, he couldn't wait to ask.
"That's all for now, we'll continue next time."
Kabuto coughed lightly and greeted, "Good morning, Kitazawa-sensei."
That's when the others noticed Kitazawa.
"Everyone go to training."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then reminded everyone, "You will all attend the practical training session this afternoon."
He plans to start today and take turns beating up Sasuke.
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
The group dispersed, leaving only Yakushi Kabuto, Aburame Shino, and Aburame Torune.
"Qu Gen, what brings you to school today?"
Kitazawa looked at Aburame Torune and asked.
“My dad is quite busy, and Qu Gen isn’t used to being alone at home, so I brought him to school.”
Shino Aburame quickly explained.
"also."
Kitazawa didn't say anything more after hearing this, but asked again, "Kabuto, do you know him?"
"We already know each other."
Yakushi Kabuto smiled gently and said.
He was born into the Root and was an excellent spy and intelligence officer.
Although we are now detached from our roots, the habits have already been formed and cannot be changed in a short time.
When he first saw the unfamiliar Aburame Torune at the training ground, he fell victim to his professional instincts and took the initiative to approach and talk to him.
"He will team up with you to participate in the Chunin Exams."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
