Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 79 Danzo's self-inflicted wound, Hiashi Hyuga's olive branch, and the pursuit of S

"What?! Hiruzen, you actually sent Root on this kind of mission?"

Danzo was stunned when he heard that the Third Hokage had ordered him to send someone to Kumogakure to kidnap a Jinchuriki.

He originally thought that the Third Hokage would categorically reject Shingetsu's crazy suggestion to "go to Kumogakure to kidnap people," but he did not expect that the Third Hokage would actually adopt it and entrust this almost impossible task to him and his Root organization!

He looked at the Third Hokage, somewhat incredulous that this was his order.

"Hiruzen, are you serious? Infiltrating Kumogakure and kidnapping a Jinchuriki? This is tantamount to sending Root to their deaths! The success rate is extremely low, and if it fails or is exposed, it will be the fuse for a full-scale war!" His voice was heavy and cold.

The two advisors also disagreed.

Koharu Tsurugi shook her head repeatedly: "This plan is too risky, the success rate is too low, and if it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Mitokado Homura added, "It would be better to take a safer approach and first engage with Kumogakure to buy time."

However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, exhaled a smoke ring, a rare sharpness and decisiveness appearing on his aged face: "Precisely because it is dangerous, it is all the more necessary for the experienced and covert Root to carry out the mission. Danzo, haven't you always said that Root is Konoha's hidden blade, capable of handling the dirtiest and most difficult tasks? Now is the time to prove it. We cannot keep backing down, especially when the Kumogakure envoy is in the wrong. This is not only to protect the Hyuga clan, but also to demonstrate Konoha's determination and strength to Kumogakure, letting them know that Konoha is not to be trifled with!"

As he spoke, he looked at Danzo, his tone becoming more serious: "I have made my decision. Danzo, you will personally select the most elite personnel and devise the most meticulous plan. Remember, this is not about brute force, but about outsmarting them. I believe you have a way of executing it."

"I never expected that I would be the one to send people to carry out this mission, you evil Uchiha brat!" Danzo narrowed his one eye, feeling both shocked and angry.

He never imagined that the trap he set for the Uchiha clan would eventually trap him as well.

In the end, Danzo had no choice but to agree.

"I understand. I'll get to it." His voice was hoarse as he began to calculate the cost of this operation and how to make the most of this opportunity, perhaps even taking advantage of it to gain something for himself, such as shifting the blame onto the Uchiha clan if the mission failed.

His mind raced, but outwardly he could only obey orders.

Seeing Danzo lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot, and how he was furious but had no choice but to take on this hot potato, Kamizuki was quite pleased with himself.

This is going to give that old thief a headache for a while.

"Thank you, Shingetsu-kun!" Hiashi Hyuga looked at Shingetsu with great gratitude.

He knew that it was Shingetsu's seemingly crazy but actually highly aggressive proposal, along with Fugaku's firm support, that reversed the situation and prevented the Konoha leadership from sacrificing him to appease the situation.

"So this is what the Uchiha clan was in before!" At this moment, he felt the same way.

After the crowd dispersed.

Hiashi Hyuga even made a point of traveling with Fugaku and Kamizuki for a while. Along the way, Hiashi glanced at Fugaku and then moved his gaze to Kamizuki.

Finally, he spoke, revealing his true feelings.

"Fugaku! Your Uchiha clan is truly blessed to have produced a talent like Shingetsu-kun. If it weren't for Shingetsu-kun's heroic efforts today, my Hyuga clan would likely have met with certain doom. From this day forward, the Hyuga clan is willing to stand with the Uchiha clan, supporting and helping each other!"

"Yes, he's still too young and needs more experience!"

Fugaku was overjoyed to hear this.

However, his face remained serious and solemn.

"However, this child, Kamui, is indeed the pride of the Uchiha clan."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes.

However, he also knew that a strong alliance with the Hyuga clan was of great significance in changing the Uchiha's isolated situation in Konoha.

"No, this child is indeed outstanding and incredibly powerful!" Hiashi Hyuga looked intently at Kamizuki.

"I'll go back first and take care of some family matters!"

"By the way, if you have the chance in the future, come visit our house more often. Hinata has been talking about you all day!" After saying this, Hiashi Hyuga waved to the two of them and returned to his clan.

After Hyuga Hiashi left.

Fugaku looked at Shingetsu with great satisfaction. He patted Shingetsu on the shoulder: "Well done, Shingetsu. Not only did you resolve the crisis, but you also secured a powerful ally for our clan. You've really grown up." His tone was full of relief and pride.

Shen Yue shook her head, her expression not entirely relaxed: "Clan leader, things aren't over yet. Samui has escaped from Kumogakure, and she must have set up a backup at the border. Moreover, Danzo may not actually carry out the mission to the fullest extent; he might pull some other tricks. We still need to make some preparations."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku also became serious: "What are your plans?"

Shen Yue said, "I still have some things to take care of. Chieftain, you should go back and appease the people first, and at the same time be wary of Tuanzang's desperate actions, and strengthen the vigilance over the tribe's territory."

"Okay, be careful."

Fugaku did not ask any further questions.

After all that has happened, he now fully trusts Shingetsu's abilities and judgment.

Afterwards, Shingetsu left Konoha alone and headed towards the secret location he had previously agreed upon with Orochimaru.

In the darkness, Orochimaru emerged from the shadows like a ghost.

"Kamizuki-kun, how's the situation going? Are the higher-ups in Konoha having a real headache?" He had a gloating expression on his face.

Shen Yue nodded: "Danzo has taken on the mission to kidnap a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, which will be a real problem for him. The Hyuga clan is also on our side now. However, there's still one loose end to loosen."

He looked at Orochimaru and asked directly, "Did you lose Samui?"

Orochimaru chuckled and licked his lips with his long, thin tongue: "Everything about her is under control. My little snakes have been following her from a distance. She's very cautious, taking a roundabout route, but she's still in the border region of the Land of Fire, seemingly setting up a trap in a secluded valley. It looks like she's preparing to meet up with Chloe and Troy, and then retreat back to Kumogakure together."

Upon learning this, Shen Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Very good. She holds a high position in Yunyin. If we can win her over, the benefits will be immeasurable!"

As they were talking, Shingetsu immediately took Orochimaru to find Samui, who was setting up a trap at the border.

He wanted to personally resolve this last hidden danger, and perhaps he could also obtain some information about Kumogakure from Samui.

Without another word, the two moved swiftly, like two shadows blending into the night, heading towards the border.

And they had just left.

The ground where Shen Yue and Orochimaru had just stood trembled slightly, and a pitcher plant-like plant slowly rose up, revealing a strange face that was half black and half white—it was Zetsu.

He silently watched the direction the two had left, and the white half spoke in a hoarse voice: "Uchiha Shingetsu, and Orochimaru. They actually joined forces. It seems the envoy from Kumogakure has completely failed."

Space distorted slightly, and a figure wearing an orange swirling mask silently appeared beside Zetsu—it was Uchiha Obito. His exposed Sharingan gazed towards the night sky where Shingetsu and Orochimaru had disappeared.

"Heh, this is getting more and more interesting." Obito's voice was deep and indifferent: "This Uchiha brat not only disrupted Danzo's plans, but also won over the Hyuga clan, and now even Orochimaru seems to have become his collaborator."
