"So how did you get the Uchiha to act?"
Utatane Koharu can command a part of the people in the village, and Danzo doesn't think it's an exception. After all, every elder has a strong loyalist, but these loyalists definitely do not include the Uchiha clan.
"Humph, they are displeased with Minato, and naturally there are people in the Uchiha clan who are displeased with Fugaku. There are also many elders who are coveting the position of Fugaku, the clan leader of the Uchiha clan.
How about it, do you want to cooperate with me? As long as this matter is made a big deal, let the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village completely erupt, plus the operation of several of our elders behind the scenes, it is very likely that Minato will be pulled down from the position of Hokage.
Even if you probably can become a Hokage"
Hearing this, Danzo was indeed moved, after all, he had been waiting for the position of Hokage for decades.
But just thinking for less than three seconds, Danzo shook his head.
"I refuse"
Hearing Danzo's answer, Utatane Koharu showed a surprised expression, seemingly unexpected to hear the answer of refusal.
"What did you say? Don't you aspire to the position of Hokage?"
Utatane Koharu knows that Danzo's aspiration to the position of Hokage can be said to have become a madman. She can't think of any reason that could make Danzo refuse.
"I do aspire to the position of Hokage, but I will seize it by my own means, not by colluding with you."
After speaking, Danzo left directly.
"Danzo, you will regret it. Now Minato's main suspect is you. When he can't catch the murderer of this matter, who do you think he will find as the scapegoat?"
Behind Danzo, Utatane Koharu shouted, looking a bit fierce.
Hearing this sentence, Danzo shook his head. He still had a sentence that he didn't say, that is, Minato is not someone you can deal with. Even if you can't find the answer now, everything will come to light soon.
He believes that Minato has such ability.
In his eyes, now Utatane Koharu is like an old birthday star hanging himself, looking for death. By then, even with the protection of the Third Hokage, she might not survive.
Konohagakure has been built for so many years, and there has never been a precedent for the execution of elders. It is estimated that Utatane Koharu will be the first.
After the two left unhappily, a small bug suddenly drilled out from under the ground and flew towards the distance.
And in the Hokage office, Aburame Shibi stood behind the Hokage, a small bug flew onto his hand, the two antennae on the bug's head were moving, and Aburame Shibi was also carefully watching the movement of the antennae, as if analyzing what the bug was saying.
"The murderer has come out, it's Utatane Koharu."
Aburame Shibi said calmly, originally he should call the other party an elder, but now that the other party is the mastermind behind this matter, there is no need to call the elder anymore.
"Is it her?"
Hearing this name, Minato also showed a shocked look. He thought left and right, and never thought that the mastermind behind this matter was Utatane Koharu.
Originally, this bug was planted on Danzo, and Utatane Koharu can be said to be an accidental harvest or self-exposure.
If it weren't for Utatane Koharu to actively find Danzo this time, they didn't know how long it would take to find the murderer.
"But now I don't know who is behind the clan, but it is said to be the person who is peeping at the position of Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader."
"Well, I will tell Fugaku about this matter later."
The Fourth Hokage spoke, with this clue, Fugaku's investigation should be simpler. After all, there are only a few people in the Uchiha clan who are coveting the position of the clan leader. If you investigate one by one, there will always be a result.
"So how should we deal with Utatane Koharu now?"
Nara Shikaku then asked.
Although they now know who the mastermind is, they have no evidence to prove it. If they speak without proof, the other party will not admit it. By then, they will fall into a very passive state.
"The Anbu will monitor her movements at all times. If she wants to force me to step down, just killing two people is definitely not enough. She will definitely act again. When she acts next time, we can catch her red-handed, and then she can't do anything."
"Good, just as I thought."
Hearing Minato's words, Nara Shikaku also nodded in agreement. As the Hokage's advisor, what he needs to do is to correct him when the Hokage makes a wrong decision, and give him the determination to make a choice when the Hokage is indecisive.
Then, Minato also told Hatake Satoru the candidate for the mastermind behind this matter. When Hatake Satoru learned that the other party was Utatane Koharu, the surprised expression on his face was exactly the same as when Minato first knew the answer.
"I didn't expect that old woman to be so extreme."
After knowing the answer, Hatake Satoru commented on her.
"The Third Hokage hasn't come out to make trouble yet, she can't bear it first. But in this way, shouldn't the other elder also be investigated carefully? After all, it is rumored that these two people are good enough to wear a pair of pants."
Minato naturally knew who the other elder Satoru was talking about, it was Mito Homura.
"You're right, we really need to investigate carefully."
A cold light flashed in Minato's eyes.
A long time ago, he had ignored these two elders. The reason why they still let them hold the position of elders is entirely for the Third Hokage to see, they have no power at all. In the final analysis, they are just a decoration.
They just didn't expect that they would dare to jump out again, it is indeed power that moves people's hearts. The older you are, the stronger your desire to control power.
"Shikaku, those elders will be investigated secretly by you, Shibi, your Aburame clan will fully cooperate with Shikaku's actions."
"Yes."
Nara Shikaku and Aburame Shibi spoke at the same time. There are not only those few elders in the entire Konohagakure village, but the rest are not very famous. But just in case, Minato still plans to investigate these people thoroughly, so that he can feel more at ease.
This incident sounded a warning bell for him, that is, no matter at any time, you must not relax your vigilance, because in the dark, there are many people staring at him.
Soon, Uchiha Fugaku also received the news from Namikaze Minato. Since all the people have been narrowed down to a rough range, it will be much easier to find them again.
People who are peeping at his position as clan leader, Fugaku knows all about it in his heart. Originally, Fugaku planned to turn a blind eye to those people, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually use the future of the Uchiha clan as a bet, which is something Fugaku can no longer tolerate.
