"Danzo ordered me to trick you out of the village and find an opportunity to kill you."
Itachi said calmly: "He will send Root shinobis to assist me!"
He added: "This time, I think Danzo is very confident and will send powerful shinobis."
"Oh!" Funan raised his eyebrows and smiled, his teeth shining.
Danzo wanted to take action against Funan, which was not surprising to Shisui, not to mention Funan himself. If there is any surprise, it is that Danzo decided to take action only now.
According to what several people knew about Shimura Danzo, he should have taken action immediately last night. Maybe it was because of his failure last time that he became cautious.
Shisui said in a deep voice: "Funan, we can't let Danzo mess around. We're going to find the Hokage right now."
"To the Hokage?" Funan looked at Shisui as if he were an idiot, and said: "You think the Hokage won't find out if Danzo acts now? Are you playing dumb here?"
Shisui wanted to speak but stopped. He really wanted to say that Hokage-sama didn't know. However, when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
Although all signs indicate that Danzo approached Itachi without authorization, using Konoha's name to force him to attack Funan, it was a personal matter.
However, Itachi's identity is so important.
Shisui and Itachi are the only ninjas in Uchiha who joined the ANBU, and they are the bridge between Konoha and Uchiha.
Itachi is the son of the Uchiha clan leader, surpassing Shisui in status.
The Hokage only has one such chess piece, and it is unique in the entire Konoha. It is impossible for him not to pay attention to Itachi, but to allow Danzo to issue such an order.
"Shisui!" Funan showed a malicious smile and said: "This is the measure of Konoha's top brass!"
Shisui's whole body was cold.
The Third Hokage praised them many times for their extraordinary abilities and qualifications as Hokage. He sighed at Uchiha's narrow-mindedness. He regretted that the Uchiha clan did not have the capacity to carry Konoha.
What about your measurements? Where is your will of fire?
Funan's low laugh rang in his ears, and he said: "Shisui, give up your naive thoughts, otherwise, you will suffer infinite pain, although this may enhance your pupil power."
Shisui said confusedly: "Funan, do you think I was wrong all along?"
Although he supports Funan to a certain extent, he still has expectations for the Hokage.
"I don't know." Funan answered simply. "But I know something."
He raised a finger and said: "The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen allowed Danzo to corrupt the Roots, he had betrayed the will of fire."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was ordered to become Hokage when the village was in chaos. At that time, he was indeed ambitious and wanted to change Konoha and bring prosperity to Konoha. He even wants to change the entire Shinobi World.
Unfortunately, reality slapped him hard.
When he became the Third Hokage, many elders from the Sengoku Period were still alive. They opposed Hiruzen Sarutobi and did not approve of him becoming Hokage.
At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was far from the first and second generation Hokage in terms of combat power. He only ascended to the position of Hokage with the support of a woman, Uzumaki Mito.
The shinobis in the village also looked down upon him. The Sarutobi clan was not a prominent shinobi clan and could not provide him with much support.
Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to secure the position of Hokage.
Perhaps, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already turned dark in the process of establishing himself as Hokage.
Paying a huge price, he led Konoha to win the war. In the process, he made huge sacrifices on the surface, but he didn't know what he paid secretly. All he know is that Danzo became The Darkness of the Shinobi.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know that at that moment, he also fell and became the Darkness of the Shinobi
As for the children being sent to the battlefield, that is a question for later.
After that, the Senju clan was broken into pieces, integrated into Konoha, and gradually disappeared. So far, only Tsunade is left.
Was that normal? Did integrating into Konoha mean becoming fertilizer? Isn't there something strange about the deaths of outstanding ninjas like Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan?
After that, Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, Orochimaru betrayed, Tsunade and Jiraiya separated from the Third Generation, and almost completely separated from Konoha...
During this process, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt helpless at every turn, and aged dozens of years at every turn. So much sacrifice for Konoha, sacrifice after sacrifice.
What rubbish!
All of Konoha's talents reached this point. Some say it's because the Third Hokage is incompetent, others blame his personality. Some people say he is old.
And the reality?
Funan would never underestimate Sarutobi Hiruzen. In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the greatest boss in the ninja world. He has been a Hokage for thirty or forty years, and no other Hokage can compare to him.
The Sarutobi clan gave birth to thousands of shinobis and became a first-class clan, so Orochimaru launched the Konoha Collapse Plan. Otherwise, Konoha Village would have been changed to Sarutobi Village.
Such a proper winner in life.
Compared with him, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, they are nothing! Some weaklings!
Danzo? Haha, he's just a clown, jumping on the Third Hokage's fingertips, but Danzo doesn't know that Hiruzen can crush him to death with just a wave of his hand.
Of course, not only Funan discovered this, but also many people in Konoha.
Otherwise in the Naruto Series, how could Orochimaru, being a rogue ninja, lead a group of second-level henchmen together with the weakest shinobi village, to cause chaos in Konoha.
The confrontation between Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen was also interesting. And surprisingly, no one helped.
Four Jonin from Otogakure, who were not even very strong among shinobi of the same level, managed to stop them all? Where are the many famous shinobi clans and shinobis in Konoha?
Jiraiya was actually held back by a three-headed psychic snake beast.
He only needs to summon Gamabunta and the others, as well as the Two Great Sage Toads. Without the need to enter Sage Mode, a couple of slaps can end the battle.
Just look at who died in the Konoha Collapse Plan.
Anyway, none of Konoha's important characters died, except Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Some people who are looking for death will not be counted.
Shisui murmured: "The will of fire?"
Itachi glanced at Shisui, with a trace of pity in his eyes, and said: "Funan-aniki, what are you going to do?"
"Step into his trap!"
Funan smiled slightly and said, "You can take this opportunity to gain Danzo's trust, but you must remember that this time you must not appear in front of me. Danzo knows that I have the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he still dares to attack me, he surely has prepared enough traps, so I have to be more serious."
"Don't worry!" Itachi smiled slightly and said: "I don't want to die in your hands for no reason."
"Hehe..."
"Wait... Wait, Funan, you..." Shisui was stunned: "You want to walk into the trap?"
"Why not?" Funan glanced at Shisui and said: "Shisui, you said there are two tigers in a mountain, how can we maintain peace?"
Before Shisui could speak, Funan said: "First, there needs to be enough external pressure. Second, the power of the two tigers is very close."
"We have external pressure now. Other villages have recovered a lot of their strength after recuperating in the past few years."
"What I want to do now is the second point, which is to weaken the power of the Hokage faction and gradually make it equal to the power of the Uchiha."
"It's too dangerous!" Shisui said solemnly: "I will go with you, I am also the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Funan looked at Shisui unexpectedly and said: "Have you made up your mind?"
Shisui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not stupid. The Hokage and the others only talk but do nothing. Even a fool can tell that they don't mean well. Now they are attacking you again and again..."
"I can't trust them."
