"Very good. From now on, you are a full member of the Anbu. First, practice the Wood Release sealing technique with Kakashi."
The third generation gave instructions.
"Yes!"
Even Tianzang's dead fish eyes seemed to have regained their luster.
"I'll handle Danzo's matter. You may all leave now."
The Third Hokage waved to signal Kakashi and Tenzo to leave.
"Yes!"
After the two left.
The third generation lit the pipe and took a puff:
"From now on, Vice Chief Kawasaki should use the main gate to avoid any misunderstandings."
Kawasaki leaned out of the window:
"Is the Third Hokage satisfied with this gift?"
The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then asked another question:
"Were those sixty babies really stolen by Danzo?"
Kawasaki smiled and nodded:
"Is this important?"
The Third Hokage nodded.
Thinking to himself, Orochimaru, who had principles, was ultimately easier to control than Danzo, who had no bottom line.
Kawasaki shrugged: "Genuine, no doubt about it."
The third generation asked, "What do you want?"
Kawasaki's smile faded:
"Third Hokage, you know that there is no great enmity between our Uchiha clan and Konoha, but Danzo always has designs on us."
The Third Hokage said:
"Danzo has been dismissed from all his posts; he is now just an ordinary citizen."
Kawasaki shook his head:
"As long as his roots remain intact, his ambition will continue to grow."
The Third Hokage paused for a moment:
"Even if I publicly demand the dissolution of the root group, it may not be of any use."
Kawasaki understood that this was not just an excuse from the third generation, after all, the composition of Root members was complex and large.
Moreover, they were all brainwashed by Danzo, and even when the Third Hokage ordered them to disband, they would secretly continue to work together.
"It's better to have less loss, after all, this guy keeps talking about our Uchiha clan."
Kawasaki said nonchalantly.
The Third Hokage thought for a moment.
It has recently come to the conclusion that Danzo's hidden ambitions are far greater than what has been revealed, and it is time to put him under control.
Although the Uchiha had just caused trouble for Konoha, Konoha actually didn't suffer any losses. On the contrary, they gained a lot of benefits from the peace talks with Kumogakure.
Now, Konoha has received a Wood Release ninja they desperately need. To be honest, the Third Hokage has mixed feelings about Kawasaki.
Moreover, Kawasaki is too strong; for now, we can only try to keep him in check.
"No problem, I will inform the entire village in the name of the Hokage to disband Danzo's Root organization!"
Kawasaki stood up, bowed slightly with composure, but did not lower his head:
"The Third Hokage is wise. We Uchiha will always support you. I have family matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."
"Humph!"
Although he had never seen this gesture before, the Third Generation could guess that it was probably a kind of etiquette.
Kawasaki is really unserious.
The third generation watched Kawasaki's departing figure and snorted.
The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.
After the mission failed, Ao led Zabuza and the other elites back to the village.
"Zabuza, if it weren't for your stubbornness, we would have infiltrated Konoha long ago!"
Ao was a little annoyed by Zabuza's bravado.
"Hmph, I'll take responsibility for my own mess. If the Grand Elder wants to blame me, I'll take the fall alone!"
Zabuza looked impatient, while Ao's tone made it seem as if he could infiltrate Konoha without losing.
"you!"
Qing was also furious with this troublemaker.
However, Zabuza is also a talented individual, having reached Jonin level at such a young age.
Besides, the mission has already failed, and there's no other way but to see what the Grand Elder thinks.
Qing stopped arguing with Zabuza and quickly led the others to the Grand Elder to apologize.
In recent years, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, found Isobu and became his jinchūriki.
In the past two years, he has gradually been able to perfectly control the tailed beasts and has begun to carry out major reforms.
The elder's power gradually diminished, and the village clearly split into two factions.
On one side was the Mizukage faction, represented by Yagura, and on the other side was the Elder faction, led by the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder was skilled in intelligence gathering, bringing countless opportunities to the Hidden Mist Village.
However, he was very wary of bloodline limit families and advocated weakening the power of the various bloodline limit families in the Land of Water.
The Mizukage is individually very strong, but he is conservative in his thinking and advocates for a peaceful resolution to relations with bloodline clans.
After reporting the details of his mission, Qing knelt on the ground, awaiting the Elder's judgment.
The elder's expression was indifferent, as if he had already anticipated Qing's defeat.
"In that case, let's throw Zabuza into the assassination squad for some training."
"As for you, you'll be locked up in solitary confinement for a year."
"Thank you, Elder!"
This punishment is already very lenient; even sending Zabuza into the assassination squad would be considered a reward.
Compared to other punishments in the Hidden Mist Village, a year of confinement is nothing.
Ao and Zabuza were quickly taken away.
The space behind the Grand Elder distorted, revealing Obito, who was wearing a mask.
The Grand Elder bowed back: "Lord Ban, Qing has been brought under control."
Obito nodded and imitated the voice, saying:
"Yagura is becoming an increasingly significant threat to us."
"What does Your Excellency intend to do?"
"My men are almost here. They will lure Yagura out in seven days."
"As you command, Madara-sama."
There are many skilled fighters in the Hidden Mist Village, and the bloodline limit families are all formidable opponents.
Those things that cannot be used by me! Eliminate them all!
...
Seven days later.
Obito, along with Pain and Konan, arrived at the entrance of Kirigakure. Upon seeing this, Yagura immediately drew his weapon.
"Who are you?!"
Obito's Kamui Eyes spun wildly, and the immense power instantly pinned Yagura to the spot.
In an instant, Yagura lost consciousness.
...
At the gate of Konoha Village.
The white-haired, tall and robust Jiraiya looked up at the Uchiha territory, which had been renovated by the Third Hokage.
The former Uchiha houses are gone, leaving only rings of walls.
The Uchiha's new territory has moved to a more distant place.
"Uchiha Kawasaki, Kaleidoscope..."
Jiraiya pondered the name as he stepped into Konoha Village.
.....
Chapter 46 Jiraiya!
Uchiha territory.
"Lord Kawasaki, news has just arrived from the Hyuga family."
Uchiha Keimei came to report.
"Jiraiya has returned to the village."
"Oh?"
Kawasaki straightened up while inspecting the defensive reconnaissance barrier.
