Chapter 69: I'm Considering the Future Development Direction of the Root Organization (1/2)

Since the Third Hokage had spoken.

Fugaku naturally couldn't say much more. He waved his hand, signaling his clansmen to disperse and return to their homes.

As for the "explanation" the Third Hokage promised the Uchiha, they could only wait.

There was no way to rush it, after all.

Wakaho also wanted to go home, and he wanted to bring the Five-Tails with him to the Uchiha compound.

But that was obviously impossible. Aside from the potential risk of the Five-Tails going berserk, its massive size made it difficult to find a place to settle it...

"But I want to introduce my new companion to my grandmother and siblings. I've already sent out my shadow clone to tell them," Wakaho frowned at Orochimaru.

"Trust me, even from within Konoha, your grandmother and siblings can see Lord Mu Wang..."

Orochimaru wasn't lying.

Because from the top of the Five-Tails' head, Wakaho could see the Uchiha clan's compound...

When Mu Wang fully rose, its height was over 60 meters. Any slightly open area in Konoha could see Mu Wang from afar.

"Alright then."

Seeing that Fugaku had discreetly ordered a dozen Uchiha elites to guard Mu Wang, Wakaho immediately agreed.

Before leaving, Wakaho took a deep look at Danzo.

After the area was cleared, a few Anbu members erected a barrier around them.

Handling the last words of a Konoha elder was the highest priority for the village.

Inside the barrier, Danzo closed his eyes again, like an old monk meditating, exuding an aura of detachment, as if he had truly resigned himself to his fate.

'Should I notify the Hyuga clan to come and watch...'

Wakaho secretly pondered.

Danzo would definitely be reluctant to die.

If he really were to die, he would drag a few Uchihas down with him before his end.

Moreover, he had Izanagi.

But Danzo had to die.

Because this concerned the Hokage's credibility. If Danzo didn't die, it would be as if the Third Hokage was mocking the entire Uchiha clan, which would mean war.

With the current Ninja World War, the Third Hokage wouldn't be so foolish.

Wakaho had already anticipated Danzo and the Third Hokage's moves.

Elder Danzo would be sent away personally by the Third Hokage, giving the Uchiha an explanation, silencing the rumors, and further suppressing the Uchiha.

At least regarding the Five-Tails, the Third Hokage would have greater authority.

But Danzo was clearly going to survive...

Retreating to advance, he might even gain more power in the shadows.

I've sacrificed everything for you, living in the shadows for the rest of my life, don't I deserve some compensation?

'This game... let's call it a draw, Danzo old thief.'

Wakaho squinted, thinking to himself.

At this moment.

"Wakaho-kun, what are you thinking about?"

Orochimaru, walking beside Wakaho, suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Wakaho hesitated for a moment, "I've been considering challenging Clan Leader Fugaku... and the future development direction of the Root organization."

Here we go, round two. The stage is set for "Advanced Sheep Stealing: Direct Home Theft," let's see how you respond!

"..." Orochimaru pursed his lips in silence.

Child, you really do worry about so many things.

"I thought you would be... resistant to the Root organization, Wakaho-kun."

Orochimaru couldn't help but say. Then, feeling this sounded too conventional, not quite fitting the "Wakaho style" thinking, he added:

"After all, the assessment methods of the Root organization can be quite brutal..."

Orochimaru was still reflecting on his previous misjudgment of Wakaho's thought process.
