In the past, Tsunade would have thought this was a happy event worthy of celebration. But in fact, this was probably the beginning of trouble in Konoha.

Once Danzo dies, the fighting faction will inevitably lose its due control, and a civil war will most likely occur.

If you want to avoid such a thing, you can only let the roots continue to stabilize the rule of the martial arts faction.

If you want a stable and long-lasting rule, you need new leaders to be born.

It is this intention that Danzo expresses.

It can be said to be a conspiracy, there is no hidden conspiracy at all, but it makes Tsunade and Shikaku have to jump into it.

"Shikaku, what do you think? In any case, this has a lot to do with you."

Judging from Danzo's attitude in coming to Shikamaru, he must have taken a fancy to Shikamaru's potential qualifications.

Therefore, Tsunade put the decision-making power in Shikaku's hands. Shikaku smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "No, I don't know how to do it."

From the perspective of the village, this seems to be a very beneficial thing.

But how could he not know what kind of place the root is?

He didn't want his son to work in a place like this.

Moreover, when he thought that Shikamaru might imitate Danzo's gloomy expression and return home in the future, the muscles in Shikaku's face couldn't help but twitch.

"In this case, how about I discuss it with the child myself? In any case, he is already a qualified ninja and will have his own opinions. After all, it is not a good thing to dote on a child too much."

Danzo said so.

".·" Shikaku sighed and nodded helplessly: "Okay, but Hokage-sama and I will listen in secret. I also ask Elder Danzo not to force that child. Moreover, that child is still recovering.

Can't stand too much stimulation, time to communicate,

Let’s wait until he’s discharged from the hospital.”

"Can."

Danzo agreed to the request and stood up.

"By the way, since you value Inuko so much, why did Uchiha Sasuke make him do such risky things when he attacked Konoha?"

Lu Jiu didn't understand this, so he asked.

Shikamaru was seriously injured that day, and if Naruto had the Sage Talisman, he might have been sacrificed.

This is inconsistent with Danzo's words and deeds at this time.

Danzo glanced at Shikaku and Tsunade, and said slowly: "When he met me through Sai that day, I secretly left the 'Izanagi' pupil technique in his eyes, which will be automatically triggered when he dies.

, to rewrite the fact of his death. Even without Uzumaki Naruto's Sage Talisman, he will be fine. But since this pupil technique has not been triggered, let it remain in his eyes."

After saying that, without waiting for Shikaku and Tsunade's reaction, Danzo left with Yamafaze and Aburame taking root.

"Shikaku, have you really thought about it? If Danzo convinces you, there will be no turning back."

After Danzo left, Tsunade asked Shikaku.

"One or two, that brat met with Danzo once behind my back, so it might happen a second time in the future. If he doesn't give up the idea, it won't matter how many times he tries. Besides, Danzo is interested in him.

Yes, it’s also the strength of Hokage and Inorika Die, his intelligence actually doesn’t account for a large proportion.”

Lu Jiu sighed melancholy.

Otherwise, the current Shikamaru alone cannot be regarded as a young ninja in Danzo's eyes. He can only be said to be a young ninja with great potential, but he is still far from being able to truly stand on his own.

Therefore, the Hokage faction represented behind Shikamaru and the power of the family are what Danzo really values.

"As long as you are confident. However, after getting rid of Danzo's thorn in the side, I can also be a little tougher on that brat from the Kingdom of Demons."

After all, it is also a very frustrating thing for Tsunade to always be suppressed by her former students.

Shikaku couldn't deny Tsunade's words.

Tsunade is tolerant of the Kingdom of Demons, not because she likes to be patient, but because before the internal forces of Konoha cannot be unified, no matter how she interacts with the Kingdom of Demons, it will end in failure. She can only choose the method of minimizing losses and speeding up the destruction of the country.

Only when Ye is unified internally can he have the strength to fight back.

The losses in the Fourth Ninja War could have been avoided, but the division within Konoha gave the Demon Country too many opportunities to take advantage of, resulting in an unfavorable war situation.

After learning this experience and lesson, Tsunade adopted the strategy of treating the Kingdom of Demons as if nothing happened as long as there was no large-scale attack, and the top priority was to unify the interior as soon as possible. If the negotiation with Danzo goes well this time,

Then, it is only a matter of time before Konoha is unified internally.

But on the other hand, Shikaku didn't want this thing to go too smoothly.

Contradictory feelings were born in Lu Jiu's heart. The Kingdom of Zhi.

In the underground water of a huge building, Sasuke struck the person who wanted to escape with lightning, and immediately knocked the escaping ninja to the ground. He was paralyzed and unable to move. He could only stare fiercely, waiting for Sasuke to respond.

His fate was pronounced. "Is this all, Kakashi?"

Sasuke turned to look at Kakashi, who didn't know when he appeared here. Behind him were the ninjas from the Kingdom of Demons in heavy armor. They took the escaped ninja out of the underground sewer like a prisoner.

"Yes, after cleaning up this rat, the intelligence department here in Zhizhi Country will not have any problems in a short time. After all, the official cooperation with Zhizhi Country has been less than a year, and the newly built intelligence branch here has

It’s normal to have some problems.”

After all, it takes a lot of time to put spies in.

Especially for an intelligence organization with a rigorous structure like the Kingdom of Ghosts, there is an extremely strict onboarding process for new recruits. This is true even if it exists as a branch.

Therefore, if outsiders want to plant spies in, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

This kind of thing won't happen in a short period of time

The second time, Kakashi and I went to the rooftop of the building and looked at the scenery below.

The intelligence branch here is located in the capital of Zhizhi Kingdom, only a few office streets away from Daming Mansion, so the location is very close.

Here, the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Ghosts is a formal official organization, so it can be built openly and operate smoothly with the support of the Daming Palace of the Kingdom of Zhi.

But similarly, the information they get here will also be shared with the Daming Mansion of Zhizhi Country, and if necessary, they will capture the 'rats' for them to ensure their safety.

For a small country that is rich in medicinal raw materials and has no ninja village, it can only maintain its inheritance in the ninja world if it is protected by a big country.

And compared with other small countries that are still in war, the domestic situation in Zhizhi Country is favorable, and there is no political turmoil.

Currently, the only ninja unit from a major country that has officially settled in is the Demon Country.

Although this ninja force only has a total of more than 150 people, this arrangement is enough to protect a small country. "It is really a peaceful country, completely different from the small country I visited before."

Sasuke said this.

Before coming to Zhi Country, he and Kakashi also passed through a small country.

A civil war is taking place in that small country, and the manipulators behind the scenes are the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Earth. They are using that country as a platform to engage in a wrestling match between the big powers.

In contrast, the peace and tranquility here in Zhi Country seemed to Sasuke like two different worlds.

"I heard that the higher-ups are planning to have sex with a certain princess from Daming Mansion here.

The marriage alliance, and the fact that this country is rich in medicinal resources, are reasons why we will send troops to provide protection directly."

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders.

Marriage and union between major powers is not a rare thing.

In the past, the Senju clan, which was famous in the ninja world, and the Uzumaki clan, which was good at sealing techniques, were combined through marriage.

The princess of the Uzumaki clan was once the wife of the First Hokage and the first Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha.

This kind of alliance was very common during the Warring States Period. Even the Uchiha clan used this method to develop their own power and confront the Senju clan.

It's just that those ninja clans were eliminated by the cruel ninja battlefields in the long years of battles. In the end, only the powerful Uchiha clan survived. To this day, they still retain a relatively complete family inheritance.

"If you want to revitalize the Uchiha clan in the future, you can also try to develop in this direction. The revitalization of the clan has nothing to do with the size of the population. As far as I know, there seem to be many girls who are secretly observing you.

.”

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled. "."

Looking at Kakashi who was getting more and more crooked as he spoke, Sasuke didn't expect to get angry, so he ignored his teasing.

marry?

Before killing Danzo, he would not consider such boring and meaningless things.

"Okay, now that the matter here has been resolved, let's go to the next country quickly, complete this mission as soon as possible and then go back. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Sasuke changed the topic and focused on this mission.

In order to save time, he did not take Zhongwu and the four people with him, but asked Zhongwu to help train the four people to improve their strength.

"That's it..."

Kakashi lazily took out a map with a clear route of action outlined on it.

"The country we are going to next is the Country of Sake, which is an area hit hard by the civil war. Previously, the intelligence branch there was attacked by Kumogakure's ninja leaders, and a lot of valuable information was lost. After arriving there

, but there is no leisure here in Zhizhi Country. Let’s take a short rest and set off at midnight tonight, trying to arrive before noon.” Looking at the setting sun that was about to sink to the western sky, Sasuke nodded and agreed.
