-------------------------------------------------------------
During this time, Danzo and Root’s people were unable to intervene, which led the Third Hokage to discover something he had never expected.
From Root, they uncovered many shocking things, including experimental materials and recorded documents.
"How dare he!!"
The Third Hokage roared like an angry lion, while Koharu looked up at the sky, speechless. This time, Danzo was truly finished.
If these things hadn’t been found, perhaps after stabilizing the Daimyo, Danzo could have regained his position as an advisor to the Hokage, and Root might not have been beyond saving.
But now... it’s completely hopeless.
Those piles of contraband materials and documents made her scalp tingle just by looking at them.
Is this something a human could do?
What made the Third Hokage even more furious was that, according to the ANBU’s investigation, the news of Danzo’s plan to assassinate the Daimyo was spreading from the Daimyo sides and the surrounding areas.
This news made even the people of the Land of Fire aware of the existence of Root.
The message was spreading like wildfire, even showing signs of reaching beyond the Land of Fire. The ANBU tried to contain the news but found it beyond their capability.
If it were within Konoha, they might have been able to manage, but since the news started spreading from the Daimyo side...
Even with their best effort, they couldn’t lock it down.
Moreover, given the sensitive timing, even if the ANBU had enough manpower, they wouldn’t dare to take such action.
A large number of ANBU operating around the Daimyo would absolutely provoke the Daimyo’s sensitive nerves.
Half of the Third Hokage’s anger was directed at Danzo, and the other half at the Daimyo.
Root hid too many things, almost all unspeakable, while the Daimyo directly leaked the news.
Since the news started from the Daimyo, the Third Hokage could only place the suspicion on the Daimyo.
And not on the Uchiha.
The uproar at the Daimyo side indicated that other nations and villages would soon receive the news.
The villages most concerned with the Land of Fire and Konoha, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, were the fastest to react.
With the help of messenger hawks or certain summoning beasts, the transfer of intelligence and news could be accomplished in just a few hours.
Thus, by that afternoon, the intelligence scroll was already on the desks of Onoki and the Fourth Raikage, A.
Could this be an opportunity?
Looking at the contents of the scroll, Onoki fell into deep thought.
The ambiguous end of the Third Ninja War still left Onoki unsatisfied, always wanting to take a bite out of the Land of Fire.
A was even more dramatic, starting with a burst of schadenfreude laughter.
Similarly, A also saw this as a great opportunity.
Even if they couldn’t take advantage of the chaos to launch a war against the Land of Fire, they should at least benefit from it, or at the very least, tarnish Konoha’s reputation and widen the gap between Konoha and the Daimyo.
Kumogakure immediately sided with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, voicing support for the Daimyo and condemning Danzo and the Third Hokage.
Iwagakure followed suit, adding fuel to the fire.
As the situation escalated, everyone came to believe that Danzo truly conspired to assassinate the Daimyo.
This unshakable blame from above would stick with Danzo until his death.
The outside world was in an uproar, with all kinds of accusations pouring in, even from many small countries condemning Konoha.
The Third Hokage was overwhelmed with all the chaos, having no time to deal with the Uchiha.
As for Danzo... having lost his freedom of movement, he could only obediently retire. At least for the short term, he couldn’t stir up any more trouble.
The burden on Kazuki’s shoulders suddenly felt much lighter.
Even Kazuki didn’t expect that a piece of false information could have such a significant impact.
If he released other pieces of information, wouldn’t the entire ninja world be in an uproar?
"Captain, are you feeling unwell again?"
Izumi’s small face was full of concern as she followed Kazuki like a shadow, almost following him even to the bathroom, fearing something might happen to him.
"It’s nothing. It’s just that your talent is too great, and I’m a bit overwhelmed."
Kazuki, with a somewhat pale face, shook his head, indicating he was fine.
He had been using Izumi as a copying subject for several days in a row, ultimately finding out that Izumi was like a treasure trove.
If not for his craving for Indra and Asura’s chakra, Kazuki would have liked to keep Izumi by his side indefinitely.
Every day, he could increase his mental energy and Sharingan power significantly. Where else could he find such a good thing?
"My talent is too good?"
Izumi was baffled, unable to understand how her talent being good related to Kazuki feeling unwell.
"Yes, your talent is very good, so train hard and practice diligently. Don’t let down my trust and hope on you."
"I believe you, Uchiha Izumi, your talent is on par with the genius that Uchiha produce and nurture. Believe in yourself; you can do it."
To motivate Izumi, Kazuki painted a big picture for her.
Sitting in his office, Kazuki pondered what had caused him to become idle.
Itachi had joined the police department. To cultivate his son, Fugaku directly assigned Itachi and Shisui’s former teammates to Kazuki, merging them under his command.
As for Fugaku’s plan to reorganize the police department, it still hadn’t come to a conclusion.
Because several hardline elders in the clan disagreed.
They believed that Fugaku’s actions were stripping them of their power.
The family could improve and grow stronger, but their power must not be taken away.
Thus, despite numerous discussions, Fugaku’s proposal had yet to be resolved satisfactorily.
Knock knock knock!
The knocking interrupted Kazuki’s thoughts.
"Come in."
Arranging the documents on the table, Kazuki looked up and called out.
The door opened, and Itachi, who was even shorter than Izumi, walked in.
Entering the office, Itachi slightly bowed and greeted:
"Captain, there are many suspicious strangers in the village. These people entered Konoha under the guise of merchants but are secretly gathering information. Should the police department investigate further and apprehend these people?"
Ah~ this little admirer has changed quite a bit.
Kazuki still remembered how, when Izumi first joined the police department, she would blush at the sight of Itachi, her eyes darting around, extremely excited.
Yet in less than a month, she could now face him calmly.
She didn’t react much to Itachi’s arrival, as if he were just an ordinary colleague.
Kazuki looked at Izumi strangely and asked Itachi:
"Is this your personal opinion?"
"It’s my personal opinion," Itachi replied.
Assassinating the Daimyo was no small crime. Spreading the news would cause a great uproar.
More and more villages chose to stand against Konoha, voicing support for the Daimyo and condemning Konoha.
From this time, people with special purposes began to gradually come to Konoha to gather information.
"Izumi, you can go out now."
"Okay."
Izumi raised her small hand to gesture, reminding Kazuki to take care of his health and not overwork. She left the office, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
