In order to minimize potential casualties in the Dark Division, the Third Hokage demanded that they go all out.
Therefore, when Jiraiya went there, he immediately activated Sage Mode and acted as the vanguard.
The Root organization was Danzo's stronghold, and countless people were brainwashed by him.
Those who have been brainwashed by Danzo are simply not going to be persuaded to switch sides.
Konoha appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it is fraught with danger.
Having made up his mind, the Third Generation's order was: kill without mercy!
As expected, even without rebuilding the root system.
Many members of the original Root are still hiding within Danzo's base.
These people were all die-hard fans of Danzo. Even when Jiraiya led the charge, he was followed by thirty Anbu members who surrounded him.
They also refused to surrender.
Jiraiya also took direct action, killing countless enemies.
Jiraiya alone took down more than thirty people. At first, things were fine, with Jiraiya in Sage Mode leading the charge.
There were no casualties at the front.
In the end, they encountered Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, and the Dark Division unfortunately lost one member to nano-level poisonous insects.
The other sixteen people also suffered injuries of varying degrees.
The raid was a great success, and eleven researchers from the Root were captured.
These people had followed Danzo for a long time, and we could extract a lot of evidence of Danzo's crimes from them.
Jiraiya reported the details of the battle to the Third Hokage.
"I also discovered a secret passage inside, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the explosion. I'm afraid someone escaped in the chaos."
The third generation nodded: "You've worked hard. The results this time are already very good. Leave the rest to me."
You should go and rest first.
We'll talk about other things later.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'm going to take a nap."
Jiraiya yawned and slowly walked out.
The Third Hokage sat quietly in his office, waiting.
Such a large-scale covert mobilization is actually very difficult to keep secret.
At least Koharu and Mitokado Enoki couldn't be kept in the dark.
That's why the Third Hokage chose to act at night...
Chapter 109 The Peril of Konoha! Hiruzen Sarutobi! Kawasaki! Konan!
Behind Shimura Danzo are members of the Shimura clan, but Danzo has been exploiting his family for years.
This led to a estrangement between him and the Shimura family.
However, if the Shimura clan learns that the Third Hokage is determined to eliminate Danzo, it might cause some trouble.
"Bang!!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and sure enough, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu arrived.
Both of them looked grim. Mitokado Homura spoke up, asking, "Hiruzen, why didn't you consult us about such a big decision?"
"That's right. We received a notification from the Anbu early this morning that you actually sent Jiraiya to raid the Root base."
"Wasn't it agreed that Danzo would only be imprisoned temporarily?"
Koharu complained a little, even though she and Danzo were colleagues.
But her dissatisfaction stemmed from the Third Hokage bypassing them.
The order was given directly.
The position of advisor elder was essentially created to check the power of the Hokage.
Over the years, the Third Hokage consulted with them on everything.
It was agreed beforehand that it would just be a formality to imprison Danzo for a while.
Danzo will be released after the Uchiha succession ceremony is over.
As a result, they have now completely removed the roots of Danzo.
Moreover, instead of disbanding the group, they directly executed Danzo's staunch supporters.
Even if some escaped, it was only a few.
All members of the Dark Division were ordered to gather at the Dark Division base.
No one is allowed to leave; the order can only be lifted when Jiraiya's men return.
Therefore, the two advisor elders' secret agents could only pass on information afterward.
The information contained within is astonishing.
Therefore, the two advisor elders rushed over to ask the Third Hokage what he meant.
The Third Hokage offered no explanation, simply stating:
"Do I need your approval to give me an order?"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were both shocked; how could the Third Hokage suddenly become so unfamiliar?
"The situation in Konoha is now extremely precarious. For the next period of time, I will be issuing direct orders for everything I do."
“You all need to keep an eye on your own people. I don’t want any misunderstandings to occur.”
As for your opinions, let's put them aside for now.
Although the third generation's voice was not loud, their attitude was exceptionally firm.
This was clearly stated to Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.
From now on, I will only inform them before asking for their opinions.
"If there's nothing else, you can go down now."
The third generation directly issued an order to leave.
Seeing the Third Hokage's unusual expression, Koharu Utatane stopped Homura Mitokado, who was about to speak.
"Understood, Hiruzen, we're leaving now."
Mitomon En QQ group 1060928735 was unaware of the situation, but still left with Xiao 78 Chun after the dormitory change.
After leaving the house, Mitokado Homura asked in a low voice, "Haru, what's wrong?"
Xiaochun, who was turning around in the dormitory, glanced back and said with a grim expression:
"Hiruzen looks exactly the same as he did back then. If you go and provoke him now, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Mitomon Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, then seemed to remember something, and his body trembled involuntarily.
In recent years, Hiruzen Sarutobi has become increasingly easygoing, to the point that Homura Mitokado has almost forgotten about him.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi took over as the Third Hokage, he displayed astonishing courage in the face of pressure from various clans.
Talented individuals among the common people are promoted, and a large number of promising individuals are selected to join the Dark Guard.
The heirs of various powerful families suddenly encounter a series of unexpected events.
Especially after the accident involving Nawaki, the most powerful member of Konoha's Senju clan, Tsunade's lover, Dan Kato, also encountered an accident.
Tsunade became depressed and left the village.
Under the guise of researching Wood Release, the village began recruiting young men from the Senju clan for experiments.
The experiment ultimately failed, and instead resulted in the loss of many young and middle-aged members of the Senju clan.
From then on, the Thousand Hands Clan disappeared without a trace.
Sakumo Hatake, the family's representative, is under immense public pressure due to the mission's failure...
Most incredibly, the person who was saved also stood up and accused Hatake Samo.
The entire village was abuzz with discussion.
As the village leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to remain silent, refrain from interfering, and take no measures to stop it.
Ultimately, Samo Hatake chose to commit suicide.
The Third Hokage thus achieved a high degree of centralization over the Hokage system.
Of the remaining ninja clans, apart from the Uchiha and Hyuga, almost all of them became vassals of the Hokage's forces.
Meanwhile, the Sarutobi clan, to which the Third Hokage belonged, has remained relatively unknown in recent years.
However, Koharu Utatane knew that the Sarutobi clan had secretly trained many ninjas.
The Third Hokage even had them do some behind-the-scenes work, and they both gained a lot of benefits.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly the same as before, acting swiftly and decisively to eliminate all resistance.
According to information obtained by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the leader of the operation was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and he had even used Sage Mode.
The entire battle was almost one-sided, with the Dark Division suffering minimal losses.
Mitokado Homura frowned as he pondered this. What was the reason behind the Third Hokage's sudden display of power...?
.....
Deep in the forest, far from Konoha Village.
A series of coughs came from a hidden cave.
"Cough...cough...〃～."
The letter emerged from the secret passages of the Root organization.
He staggered out of the passage, coughing as he leaned on his long sword.
Each time I cough, blood seeps out between my fingers.
