Chapter 348 It Is Easy to Share Adversity, but Difficult to Share Prosperity
In order to prevent Shimura Danzo from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, the Third Hokage decided to deprive him of his right to make suggestions. He only needs to be an open commander.
He doesn't need to care about other things.
He can't care.
Having grown up together until today, the Third Hokage knows too well the ability of his rival to make trouble.
As long as he is given a little chance, he can make a big mess for you.
Now thinking back to the things against Kushina and Shizuichi, the Third Hokage felt depressed.
Damn Danzo, can't you let me save some trouble?
Everyone likes the black glove who is capable, can take the blame, and is not afraid of being scolded.
But after this black glove started to mess around, the taste changed.
The current situation of the Third Hokage is quite embarrassing. He has tolerated Shimura Danzo again and again, and he dare not use him casually if he can't throw him away.
As for the disposal of Shimura Danzo, it's even more outrageous.
The Third Hokage did have such an idea, but he just cut it off as soon as the idea came out.
It is not difficult to deal with Shimura Danzo, but it is difficult to deal with Shimura Danzo. What will others think of him after dealing with him?
Utatane Koharu, Mitomon En and others will definitely have other ideas.
We can share hardships together, but not wealth together?
How much Shimura Danzo helped you, how many merits he made, and how many black pots he took for you, have you forgotten?
You even dealt with him, what about us?
Will you kill us with a knife the next time we make a mistake?
"I hope there will be no conflicts."
At this point, the Third Hokage can only hope that Shimura Danzo can be more stable, think about himself, and not get sick again.
Hide peacefully.
This is good for everyone.
Shimura Danzo is the scapegoat on the surface, and the people who took action are the Hokage Guards of the Third Hokage.
The Anbu will definitely not participate in such things. Even if the Third Hokage wants to borrow people, Jingyi will not allow it.
The Anbu did something shady, and their shady intentions were directed at outsiders, not their own people, so you should ask for help from someone else.
Therefore, the only people that the Third Hokage could mobilize were the Hokage Guards and several family ninjas behind the F4 group.
Uchiha Fugaku wanted to use the Third Hokage to get rid of several elders of the family, so he certainly couldn't let the family ninjas participate, not even the clan leader's guards.
Therefore, he could only make the Third Hokage suffer, and then make the ninjas of the Sarutobi and Shimura families suffer.
The cleanup plan was simple and not complicated, but Uchiha Fugaku hadn't made up his mind.
The attitude of the Hokage's Office had been holding him back.
Now that the Hokage's Office came forward to help, all the concerns were bullshit.
On the third night after the plan was confirmed, the elders of the Uchiha clan received a notice from the clan leader.
The family wanted to hold a high-level meeting, but because the content was too radical, it could not be held in the ancestral hall to prevent the village's high-level officials from noticing.
The Uchiha elders did not think much about this reminder. Although their ideas were not in line with the young clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku had always been restrained and stable since he became the clan leader.
No one would think that Uchiha Fugaku would attack them, unless Uchiha Fugaku was crazy.
In an underground base on the edge of the Uchiha clan.
The base here was built by Uchiha Fugaku's father, the previous Uchiha clan leader. When Uchiha Madara defected from the village, there was a lot of noise.
The relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan once dropped to a freezing point. In order to prevent the village from really attacking the Uchiha clan one day, many similar bases were built in the Uchiha clan.
Usually hidden and not used, they can come in handy at critical moments.
As time went on, the Uchiha people also realized that the village had no intention of attacking the Uchiha clan, and these underground bases lost their due role.
Today's Uchiha high-level meeting will be held in this base.
As for why they were not in the family ancestral hall but in the combat base, wasn't the reason already given?
Worried about being noticed by the village's high-level officials.
This makes sense, right?
At least several radical elders thought it was reasonable, and Uchiha Fugaku's arrangement was correct.
The time was almost up, and several elders came to the base with their guards.
Little did they know that from the moment they entered the base, they had stepped into the trap set by Uchiha Fugaku and the Third Hokage.
The huge base seemed a bit empty, and there were only a dozen guards besides several elders.
As the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku was always the last to arrive at every meeting, so these elders did not worry too much.
"The clan leader asked us to hold a high-level meeting. Did he promise some benefits to the Hokage's office?"
"Alas~~~ I once thought Fugaku was a good boy, a good boy who could lead Uchiha to glory. Who could have thought... he was a coward."
"It's better to use the family's money to buy the Hokage's office."
"When will this hell of a day of being targeted end? It was a mistake for us Uchiha to join Konoha!! Uchiha Madara was even more wrong!!"
"I think the next Hokage should be someone from our Uchiha family. It should be the Uchiha's turn anyway."
In the base, all kinds of rebellious words came out one after another. The courage of these Uchiha elders was also very big.
This is why Uchiha Fugaku couldn't wait to get rid of them.
If these people are not cleared out, there will be a huge disaster in the Uchiha. Once these family elders make trouble, many clan members will follow them.
At that time, even Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, will not be able to end it.
The discussion in the base was in full swing. Outside the base, groups of ninjas took advantage of the night and surrounded the base.
Shimura Danzo took the lead.
The Third Hokage, Utatane Koharu, and Mitomon En watched from afar.
As for Uchiha Fugaku, he didn't come.
He was waiting for news at home.
It's almost time.
The Third Hokage nodded to Shimura Danzo, reminding him that he could take action.
In the base, some elders expressed dissatisfaction.
"Why hasn't the chief arrived yet? Although he is the chief, he is our junior. Doesn't he know that he should respect his elders?"
"When the chief arrives, we should talk to him and educate him."
"Who!!!"
A cry startled several elders.
Then, the vibrations of the battle spread to the base.
