The news of Ara's return was immediately delivered to the Hokage's office.

This was an obscure order issued by the Sandaime Hokage himself.

And after Gang Zi Tie left, the crisp sound of the cane also sounded from far to near in the corridor.

I saw an old man who looked decadent and weak, with half his body wrapped in bandages, slowly appearing at the end of the corridor.

Danzo Shimura.

The 'evil' buried deep under Konoha eliminated many potential enemies for Konoha during the war.

Even Sansho Hanzo, known as the demigod of the ninja world, was manipulated by him.

"The news from the root is really fast."

Glancing at the old guy who just opened the door and walked in without any courtesy, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes showed a hint of deep meaning that was difficult to detect.

Obviously, he had just received the news of Uchiha Ara's return, but this old guy who was far away in the underground stronghold was actually able to arrive on the back foot.

This kind of response speed is not unsatisfactory.

It seems.

Although the roots have suffered a certain blow, there are also many hidden reserves.

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo lowered his eyes slightly, and the contempt in his eyes was suppressed to the extreme.

'Hiruzhan...'

'You really are getting better and better as you live.'

After sitting upright, he could raise his eyes to look at the Sandaime behind the desk, his hands folded on top of the crutches.

There was a sharp rhetorical question:

"Shouldn't you focus on Uchiha Ara now? He has disappeared from this world for nearly four months."

"How did that kid avoid ANBU's eyes?"

"What happened inside Yuyin Village?"

"What's the current situation of the Akatsuki organization?"

"Shouldn't these things be the first thing you pay attention to?"

At this point, his dissatisfaction quietly reared its head again.

but.

This root hidden in the ground, this darkness buried deep in Konoha, finally suppressed those special emotions and continued to add:

"Moreover, there is a high probability that the Uchiha clan has a way to contact Uchiha Ara."

"Otherwise, the little guy wouldn't come back at exactly this time."

"You can finally be cruel when it comes to doing big things."

Danzo's voice is a little complicated.

You can hear the praise and a touch of genuine joking.

Although his proposal of "provocative general" was delayed for nearly a month, the old guy finally did it.

Now I'm looking forward to that irritable little guy doing something irrational.

certainly.

This is also Danzo's foreshadowing.

Let's use the previous proposal to test Uchiha Ara.

If that kid still maintains his previous madness and ignores it, then there is still a need to stay as a chess piece.

but.

If this trip changes your personality and makes you reclusive, then you need to pay special attention to it.

even.

Can be erased in advance.

"snort."

In response, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly.

The dissatisfaction in his eyes became more and more intense.

Earlier, he didn't want to use the children of the Sarutobi clan to do some small tricks, fearing the negative impact, so he continued to choose to wait.

but!

There was still no news for more than ten days, and the endless waiting finally made this nervous old man unable to sit still.

And it has to be said that some of Danzo's methods and guesses are correct.

He just stirred up the nerves of the Uchiha clan through his clan members, and the little guy they regarded as their clan leader immediately appeared from some unknown nook and cranny.

He even didn't hesitate to expose his own flying psychic beast!

"Uchiha Ara got a giant eagle from somewhere as a psychic beast. It's not so strange that ANBU couldn't find traces of him at the border."

"The important thing now is: Where has he been these days?"

"Is it true that he went to Yuyin Village as he said?"

"If I went, what information did I get?"

"The current Rain Country and the Akatsuki organization that has gathered many rebellious ninjas are making people feel a little uneasy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was tapping his pipe lightly on the table, his old cheeks were solemn, and even the wrinkles were piled together in his thoughts.

"If it's Itachi..."

"well."

After stopping for a moment, he suddenly mentioned that person's name again.

But in the end it turned into a long sigh.

There is no chance to start over again. That night, they had already broken up.

If it weren't for the existence of Uchiha Sasuke now, as the final link between the two.

Then, things will most likely evolve into a worse situation.

Regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi's sighs and annoyance, Danzo Shimura did not make any waves.

He is different from the other person.

I will only look forward. Since some things have already happened, I will find ways to check and balance them and eliminate them.

Of course, Hiruzen also fully agreed with the issues mentioned by Uchiha Ara.

"Then gather all the clan leaders together."

"At that time, that kid will choose to hide the information and make everyone angry, or he will be honest and share the information."

"Let him alone."

"Besides, Konoha's rules for going out should be changed."

"Especially as a clan leader."

"Otherwise, it would be bad if hostile external forces take advantage of the situation."

Danzo said slowly.

And put forward some restrictive opinions.

After all, they can fight among themselves for power, and they may even dig pits to limit each other's power and make each other feel disgusted.

But once it touches Konoha's interests and Konoha's existing or potential enemies, the stance will become particularly consistent.

However, these two old men guessed wrong about one thing.

Huang's return has nothing to do with their little scheme. It's just that after recruiting a large number of subordinates, they felt it was time to come back and show their face.

Moreover, when he was stationed in the empty area, he also asked Nekomata and Izumi whether he had used him to find his traces or send some messages.

After all, he has been away from his family for a long time.

The answer available is: no.

The little girl followed the agreement and never disturbed it.

Such an answer also made Huang Guihui's thoughts more urgent. Therefore, after briefly explaining a few details and watching the stronghold begin to take shape, he immediately channeled the giant eagle's return.

Of course, there are two small things that are also worth mentioning.

First: The steel fortress hidden in the deep sea, the traces similar to human activities, through the monitoring and feedback of the "sea", Huang has become somewhat certain about their identity.

It is indeed a human force.

At the same time, as guessed, it was a force that was defeated in the war.
