-------------------------------------------------------------

After only a few seconds of looking at the scroll, his expression changed drastically:

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. This intelligence is fake. Someone is deliberately targeting our Land of Fire, sabotaging the relationship between Konoha and the Daimyo."

What nonsense is this about Danzo, the leader of Root, planning to assassinate the Daimyo?

While it's true that Danzo might want to get rid of the Daimyo, the Third Hokage would never allow it.

Danzo wouldn't dare to do something so outrageous at this time.

Because if he did, it would mean he'd have no place in Konoha or the Land of Fire.

"Impossible!!"

The Daimyo didn't believe the Third Hokage's explanation at all, thinking it was an excuse. Enraged, he stood up from his chair and loudly questioned:

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you know what kind of person Shimura Danzo is. A few years ago, you came to me for help, asking me to support Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage. I helped you, and what happened?"

"Danzo's glare was as if he wanted to kill me. You promised to give me an explanation, but where is it?"

"That so-called explanation was nonsense."

Afterward, the Third Hokage completely forgot about it. To be precise, he never dealt with it at all.

After the war ended, the village was in chaos, and with Minato becoming Hokage, the Third Hokage had to manage everything and didn't have time for such matters.

Besides, it was just a threatening look. Danzo wouldn't actually kill you.

Who would have thought the Daimyo would remember it?

Coupled with this unreliable intelligence, the Daimyo truly believed Danzo wanted him dead.

Damn it!!!

The Third Hokage was so angry he almost swore.

You still remember such old matters, and where did this ridiculous intelligence come from?

Seeing the Third Hokage's sullen face and silence, the Daimyo thought he felt guilty and sneered:

"Hokage, you say Danzo isn't like that? Fine..."

"Then Uchiha, tell me, what kind of person is Danzo!"

"..."

I'm just an onlooker, why am I being dragged into this?

Kazuki was momentarily stunned, then noticed the Third Hokage sharply looking at him.

The message was clear: Don't say anything rash.

The Third Hokage wasn't worried about others, but Kazuki was unpredictable.

Considering Kazuki had the guts to confront clan elders and openly call Danzo a sewer rat and a viper, without a hint, he might just reveal all of Danzo's deeds.

"Umm... Danzo-sama is a good person, a very good person."

Even though he had fallen out with Danzo, now wasn't the time to make trouble, or it would backfire on him.

Kazuki didn't want this fire to burn him, better to keep watching the show.

"Rubbish!"

Hearing Kazuki's words, the Daimyo angrily cursed, his emaciated face trembling slightly:

"You think I'm a fool? You think I can't gather intelligence on Konoha?"

"Danzo's actions against the Uchiha, aren't you, as an Uchiha, aware of them?"

"Or have you forgotten how you cursed Danzo not long ago?"

"A good person, he's a good person?"

Well, the cards are on the table.

Kazuki shrugged at the Third Hokage.

It's not my fault, the Daimyo has people in Konoha collecting all sorts of intelligence, I can't help it.

Damn.

The Third Hokage was utterly at a loss.

He had no choice but to continue defending himself and Danzo.

"Lord Daimyo, there are many misunderstandings between Danzo and the Uchiha, but this intelligence is inaccurate. Danzo would never commit such a treasonous act, and I wouldn't allow him to."

"Fine, I'll believe you."

The Daimyo asked in exasperation:

"Then tell me, how would anyone know about the Root department of Konoha?"

"..."

How the hell would I know where this damn intelligence came from?

The Third Hokage was instantly speechless.

Not only outsiders, but even within the village, few knew about Root. Even if they did, they had to keep it secret.

Otherwise, the Anbu would definitely come for a chat.

Having vented his anger and cursed, the Daimyo felt he had lost his composure, so he sat down and drank two cups of tea to calm down.

Then he gave the Third Hokage an ultimatum.

"I don't care if Danzo has such intentions or not. I just don't like Danzo. I see no need for Root to exist."

"Spending my money to support someone who threatens me, I'm not stupid."

This was the first time since the founding of the country that the Daimyo had issued such a public threat, showing how angry he was.

Ultimately, it was the fear of death and Danzo's questionable character.

With previous threats and Kazuki's fake intelligence, the Daimyo exploded.

I give Konoha so much money every year, and this is how you repay me?

You think I give too little and want to kill me to support someone else?

"If this isn't handled properly, Konoha can forget about getting any more funds from me. I'll directly contact the Daimyos of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth. I believe Iwa and Kumo would be happy to provide protection."

"..."

Damn!!!

The Third Hokage was on the verge of collapse. The Daimyo had brought up the enemy villages, showing his determination.

Either Konoha resolves the issue with Root and Danzo, or he'll seek protection from enemy villages.

No more funds, making Konoha as self-sufficient as Suna.

Is there a choice?

No, the Third Hokage had to choose the Daimyo and abandon Danzo and Root.

"Hmph, I hope you won't just placate me."

"Rest assured, Lord Daimyo. I will personally handle this matter. If you're still concerned, Konoha can provide absolute protection to prevent any incidents."

Let enemy village ninjas protect the Daimyo?

What kind of international joke is this? Not to mention the implications, just spreading the news would make Konoha a laughing stock.

"Accept your protection? No way, I don't dare."

The Daimyo rolled his eyes. Danzo wants to kill me, and you want me to accept your protection? Isn't that walking into the wolf's den?

"If the Daimyo is not reassured, the Uchiha can provide protection."

Seeing an opportunity, Kazuki decided to seize it. Maybe he could gain some benefits and give Shisui some tasks.

Instead of letting Shisui join the Anbu and continue as a double agent, it would be better for him to protect the Daimyo.

He could also let Shisui see what kind of person Danzo truly was.
