Chapter 121 The Arrest Scene
Outside the root base.
At the Third Hokage's command, a large number of masked Anbu members charged into Root.
As they went in, they were still shouting, "Slay any who resist!"
After exchanging a glance with Shizora, Fugaku said to the Third Hokage:
"Lord Hokage, we Uchiha people can help."
The Third Hokage waved his hand, his face serious:
“I appreciate Elder Fugaku’s kindness, but you Uchiha have never cooperated with the Anbu before, so it’s easy to accidentally hurt each other. It’s better to leave it to the Anbu.”
"Don't worry, the people in the Dark Division can handle all of this."
Scattered shouts and explosions could be heard from underground, and the members of the Hyuga clan secretly activated their Byakugan.
His face was full of strange expressions.
Because none of the members at the root offered any resistance, they surrendered without resistance.
Even the fighting and shouts of killing were completely staged by members of the Dark Guard.
At this moment, a member of the Uchiha clan approached Fugaku and whispered a report in his ear:
"Clan leader, twelve unknown experts have just attacked, all of whom are at least Jonin level."
"However, they have already been driven back by Elder Qianyao and Itachi."
Fugaku looked surprised, though he wasn't surprised that his clansmen had been attacked.
After all, Chiyo had said before that the Third Hokage might resort to desperate measures, which is why Chiyo specifically waited for him at the clan.
But strangely, Itachi actually came back.
Qianyao only sent someone to report that everything was alright, without mentioning any details of the battle.
Fugaku didn't care, since he was completely at ease with Senyo in the clan anyway.
Meanwhile, the Root organization's operations in the shadows have also begun to show results.
The secret service has been bringing out members of the root organization one after another.
All the Root members had their hands bound and obediently followed behind the Anbu.
More and more people joined, and the one who came last was Fujigoro, the head of the research group at Root.
And Yamanaka Kaze, Aburame Torune, and others.
However, Danzo was not present.
One of the ANBU members approached the Third Hokage and reported the results of the battle.
"Reporting to the Hokage, we have successfully infiltrated Danzo's hidden underground base."
"We captured Yamanaka Fu, Aburame Torune, and others who were not yet disbanded from the Root organization."
"Shimura Danzo is on the run, and our men are in pursuit."
The voices from the shadows were very loud, as if they were afraid others wouldn't hear them.
The expressions on the faces of those near the Third Hokage varied, but there was a hint of mockery in them all.
The Uchiha were the most obvious among them, having heard the Anbu's report.
Uchiha Shitora added sarcastically:
"With so many people in the Anbu, surely they can catch an old geezer like Danzo?"
The Third Hokage's face darkened, and he picked up his pipe and took a puff.
"The arrests always take time, but we'll have results soon."
Uchiha Shitora crossed his arms:
"Hiruzen, if you can't capture your people, we Uchiha have plenty of good ones."
"We'll help you for free; you won't have to pay us anything extra."
As he spoke, Uchiha Shitora led the mocking laughter, and the Uchiha behind him all let out arrogant and rampant laughter.
Even Fugaku, who had previously held the Third Hokage in high esteem, laughed.
Everyone, including the Hyuga clan, silently took two steps back, making room for the Uchiha and the Third Hokage.
It's clear to everyone that the Uchiha clan is deliberately provoking the Third Hokage.
As long as Uchiha Shitora is around, even the so-called clan leader Fugaku is just a yes-man.
Si Hu has a very strong tendency to attack.
Not only did he show no respect for the Third Hokage, but he also constantly provoked Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Their aggressive manner suggested they were afraid a fight wouldn't break out.
But it also makes sense.
Or rather, this is the correct style of the Uchiha clan.
With three Mangekyou Sharingan masters in the clan, wouldn't they be considered Uchiha if they didn't act arrogantly?
Not to mention that the Uchiha clan also had a grudge against Danzo.
Despite being dismissed, Danzo still retains the same power as before, and Root has not been disbanded at all.
This kind of thing can naturally be big or small.
However, if a fight breaks out because of this, the other ninja clans will definitely not help the Third Hokage.
After all, Danzo was a piece of stinking dog shit, and who knows how many things he had done to harm Konoha's interests in the past.
You actually kept it? Who would want that?
Having ruled for so many years, the Third Hokage certainly knew that in this situation, he had no choice but to back down.
Faced with Si Hu's provocation, the Third Hokage waved to the Anbu member beside him, signaling him to leave.
Then, calmly and patiently, he said to everyone:
"Elders, please rest assured that Danzo and his Root remnants will be uprooted and thrown into the Konoha prison."
Uchiha Shitora noticed that the Third Hokage showed no sign of anger.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that only Senyou could surpass Hiruzen Sarutobi's deep cunning.
After all, Qianyao had said that in today's situation, the Grand Elder could be more assertive, and even mock Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In this situation, the Third Hokage would definitely back down.
Everything Qianyao predicted was correct.
Uchiha Shitora snorted coldly and stopped his verbal sparring.
Waiting for today's results with everyone else.
……
The Third Hokage had arranged for Mitomon and Koharu Utatane to control the situation beforehand.
However, the Hyuga clan also has its own clever tricks; the branch family simply throws away the promotional materials and then ignores them.
Then go about your business as usual, pretending you don't know what just happened.
All of the Hyuga's top leaders have gone to the Third Hokage's side, and Mitokado Homura can't even find a leader in the Hyuga.
Do you think the Hyuga branch family would listen to a mere Konoha advisor elder? Besides, the Third Hokage has already suspended them from their duties.
After they finished distributing the leaflets, they returned to the Hyuga clan.
This infuriated Mitokado.
Koharu also sent people to stop the villagers from looking at the leaflets, while she herself went to the school to stop Uchiha Chiyo.
As a result, not only were they tricked by Qianyao, but the fact that the secret agents prevented the villagers from reading the leaflets was no different from a failure.
The more something is prevented, the more curious the villagers of Konoha become.
Some people agree readily on the surface, but secretly hide two bills behind your back; who would know that?
Both of them arrived at the Third Hokage's side with grim faces.
The Third Hokage could tell from their expressions that things were definitely not going well.
However, the incident happened so suddenly that he was in a very passive position, and now he has no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.
At that moment, an ANBU member came to the Third Hokage's ear and secretly reported the battle situation of Sarutobi Seishuu and the others.
The Third Hokage sighed inwardly, never expecting that Uchiha Chiyo's schemes were so profound.
Originally, I planned to take advantage of the absence of the three Mangekyou Sharingan users to wipe out the Uchiha clan's territory.
They then surrounded and killed Fugaku and his men.
After all, if few Uchiha members are left, other ninja clans certainly wouldn't want to be enemies with him for the sake of a few remaining Uchiha.
However, Itachi and Chiyo's true forms were both hidden within the clan, causing his people to suffer heavy losses as well.
He subtly made a hand gesture, and a moment later, another undercover agent came to report:
"Lord Hokage, Danzo Shimura has been captured and taken to prison."
