Konoha: Starting from Sage Transformation

Chapter 77 Crisis at the Root

Danzo quickly ended his mental meeting with his men. On the surface, he looked calm and calm, but inside he was already in an uproar.

According to the intelligence just reported by his subordinates, Gen is now being targeted, and various signs indicate that the mastermind behind the scenes is probably Kirigakure.

"If it is Kirigakure, then it will be difficult to continue to recover the financial resources from the Country of Waves. On the sea, the world is still dominated by these guys who have lived overseas for a long time."

Danzo's mood gradually worsened.

Gen's life has been difficult recently because he is short of money.

A certain Fire Nation nobleman who had secretly funded Gen was shot to death in his bedroom, and then a large amount of evidence of corruption and rebellion was exposed.

Gen's approach in this matter can only be said to be very Danzo-like.

After Danzo received the news that the great nobleman had been killed, he did not think of avenging the great nobleman. Instead, he immediately cut off the great nobleman and killed all the people who had come into contact with him inside the root. The Sandai and the Daimyo found evidence that he was in cahoots with the great nobleman.

His callous and ruthless approach naturally made the other great nobles of the Fire Country who secretly supported the root cause sorrow and aroused their strong dissatisfaction.

As a result, these big nobles drastically reduced or even cut off their financial support to Gen, and instead supported other powerful forces in Konoha.

Danzo didn't care much at first, thinking that the members of the Roots would not shake their belief in protecting Konoha for mere money, nor would they betray the Roots, but he was slapped in the face.

Without sufficient salary, the level of work benefits has dropped significantly, and a large number of peripheral members who have not planted the curse have defected. Even if they have not defected, personal enthusiasm has been greatly reduced.

Even the enthusiasm of many internal members was affected and they resented him.

From then on, Danzo deeply felt the power of money for the first time and never dared to underestimate it again.

After losing the financial support of the great nobles of the Fire Country, Danzo had no choice but to step up the plunder of wealth from the merchants controlled by his subordinates, and try to control more businessmen to serve Gen, in order to alleviate the pain of losing the financial support of the great nobles of the Fire Country. pressure.

But before Root's plan to develop new capital sources came to fruition, news came that the goods of the merchants from the Kingdom of Waves under his control had been taken away by pirates and suffered heavy losses. There were also several large businessmen from small countries who secretly cooperated closely with Root. He was also killed by unknown forces.

The two major arteries from which Root's funds come are both severely damaged. The Fund's capital chain was suddenly cut in half, and the welfare level of Root's members naturally further dropped significantly.

As a result, the chain reaction will be that more root members will defect and their enthusiasm will further decrease, which will ultimately lead to the overall strength and execution of the root being severely damaged.

Obviously, the behemoth in the darkness at the root is not as obedient as Danzo imagined. It will not work obediently without feeding it with enough money.

Even if there is a lofty belief at the root as a link, in the end it is a collection of interests.

Within the root, there are countless speculators, and even Danzo is not the only one who is ambitious.

Once there is a huge internal crisis, such as not enough bread, it is almost inevitable that this hungry behemoth will fall into internal chaos or even split.

How could Danzo, the leader of the Roots, not be aware of the seriousness of the problems currently occurring within the Roots? He decisively sent his capable men loyal to him to suppress the voices of internal discord, and sent people to hunt down the traitors and deter those who were thinking of defecting. , and also to speed up the progress of new capital development plans.

In the recent period, Danzo has been almost exclusively focused on dealing with the root internal problems, and has no time or energy to engage in conspiracies and dig holes to frame others.

After all, his roots were his foundation for settling down in Konoha. If he lost control of his roots, he would really be close to death.

However, despite his busy schedule, Danzo still did not relax his surveillance of the Uchiha clan and Kirito.

The Uchiha clan was okay, as usual, there was no unusual behavior, but Kirito lost most of his surveillance power over the hospital due to the loss of Yamanaka Yun, the core dark child placed in the hospital, and he was unable to be as close as before. Pay attention to Kirito's every move.

This bad situation became more serious after Yamanaka Yun's rebellion.

"Did Yamanaka Yun realize something? He would actually betray me at this time."

Danzo cursed inwardly.

In the script he wrote, the main executor of Kirito's assassination was Yamanaka Yun. Unexpectedly, the leading actor suddenly betrayed him, causing the follow-up plan to assassinate Kirito to be aborted before it even started.

Not only that, Yamanaka Yun's betrayal further weakened his surveillance power inside the hospital.

Not all members within Root are loyal to him alone. He only controls some of the core members, and then uses these core members to command the people under them.

The root power in the hospital was basically developed by Yamanaka Yun. Naturally, the root members in the hospital were only mobilized by Yamanaka Yun. Moreover, Danzo himself did not know who the true identities of these people were.

If he wants to continue to gain surveillance power in the hospital, perhaps only those root members developed by Yamanaka Yun will come to him.

However, the Anbu forces in the hospital have still not been transferred. Especially after Hinata-san, Kirito's physical arts teacher, became the captain of the hospital guard team, the intensity of the internal investigation of the mole has not weakened. If anyone dares to contact him now, then It's just asking for death.

Clouds in the mountains.

Danzo really didn't expect that this person would betray him, or betray him at this time.

He concluded that Yamanaka Yun must have discovered something, but who gave him the clue?

The first person Danzo suspected was Kirito, because the biggest beneficiary of the whole incident was Kirito.

But this idea was quickly rejected by him.

Because he is very aware of the power that Kirito currently possesses. Although he is very strong, there is no intelligence force around him that can help him. It is impossible to trace the top-secret information about Yamanaka Yun.

Relying on the intelligence power of the Senju Clan.

Do not make jokes.

It’s not that Danzo looks down on the Senju clan, it’s that the Senju clan has no usable talents and advantages in intelligence. Most of the people in this clan are upright, short-sighted, not good at escape ninjutsu, and are not suitable for intelligence. personnel.

Moreover, the matter that made Yamanaka Yun choose to betray him without hesitation was a top secret.

He was very careful back then, and he is the only one who still knows about this matter. In order to completely control the important chess piece of Yamanaka Yun, he has already personally eliminated the other insiders.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Kirito to know that he designed to kill Yamanaka Yun's fiancée.

Danzo has this confidence.

"If it's not this kid, then who is it? It seems that after I stepped down, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts thought that I had lost power and could never make a comeback, so they couldn't help but attack me."

Danzo thought secretly, and finally targeted inside the root.

If it wasn't Kirito, then it would have been someone who did it.

Only you can know that.

As for the purpose, of course someone had undue ambitions, thought he was not worthy of continuing to be the leader of the root, and wanted to replace him.

"Who could it be? It seems that I need to find an opportunity to go out and see my 'loyal' subordinates to see if the curse marks on their bodies are still there."

Danzo took a sip of hot tea with a calm expression, his heart filled with thoughts.

Finally, his eyes fell on the latest piece of information that had been sent to him. This was secretly sent by his old classmate Xiaochun, who had moved to bed. The content above was the final decision of the third generation to surrender to the rain ninja.

"Stupid Hiruzen, you will regret this."

After Danzo read the contents of the information, a smile finally appeared on his face.

It is difficult for a newbie to get started. I hope all book friends will come and read it more often to increase the reading rate. After reading it, I hope everyone will vote for this book more and invest in it. If you can give some monthly votes and rewards, Haruko will be grateful. Newbies and new books are so great.
