Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world
Chapter 176 Reversal and Faith
In the evening, Mo Congfeng and six other Root organization captains gathered together again. The gathering place was still the Root organization's stronghold outside Konoha Village.
Mo Congfeng secretly complained in his heart that Shimura Danzo was really bold. He had the guts to rebuild the Root organization's base at the original location and was not afraid at all of Beiruo revisiting the old place.
Compared with the original base, the current base of the Root Organization has been dug deeper underground. Mo Congfeng perceives it as a deep well.
The original three underground floors have been temporarily abandoned and may be repaired in the future.
Mo Congfeng felt uncomfortable with the deep well space. There was a natural sense of claustrophobia that made him feel uncomfortable. Mo Congfeng even felt that if he stayed in such a space for a long time, his mental state might be affected.
Danzo Shimura first affirmed the efforts made by the captains of each branch of the Root Organization to expand its personnel during this period, and said that this personnel inspection work was carried out very smoothly.
Danzo Shimura also summarized the two large-scale attacks that the Root Organization had recently suffered. One was that the original C Detachment was completely wiped out in the mission of attacking Beiluhu, and the other was the recent attack launched by Beiluhu on the Root Organization, in which the A Detachment and some functional personnel suffered heavy losses.
However, the Root Organization has shown sufficient resilience under such difficult circumstances. Today, its personnel has increased instead of decreased, and it already has the strength of six fully staffed detachments. However, the new members of the Root Organization need to improve their qualities and abilities in all aspects.
Shimura Danzo said this and looked at Mo Congfeng and Kinoshita Ichiro, meaning that the members of the Bing and Ding detachments were not competent enough. Mo Congfeng didn't care about it, but Kinoshita Ichiro looked unhappy.
Shimura Danzo finally got to the point, "Although it is a peaceful time now, Konoha is still in crisis, with internal and external troubles emerging one after another. It is already difficult to deal with just one Obiruko, and now a new powerful enemy has appeared within our Konoha...
But now our Hokage is too weak, and the two candidates he selected are almost the same. This situation is very unfavorable for Konoha's future development!"
Except for Orochimaru and Oto who returned to Konoha, the other four looked at each other. What did Danzo Shimura mean by this? He began to publicly express his dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage and the two Hokage candidates in front of his subordinates?
Mo Congfeng also felt strange and sighed, "But now that the two candidates for Hokage have been announced, the facts are a foregone conclusion. Even if we have other ideas, it's too late!
The only thing to do now is to do your best to assist the Third Hokage and the future Fourth Hokage. After the Third Hokage abdicates, Danzo can exert influence on the Fourth Hokage and put cruel reality and powerful enemies in front of them.
I believe that for the sake of Konoha, they will give up the idea of being soft on the Uchiha."
At this time, Mo Congfeng did not want the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo to have conflicts or even internal strife. Of course, Mo Congfeng hoped that the Third Hokage could realize the horror of Uchiha Madara like Shimura Danzo and participate in the eradication of the Uchiha clan.
Shimura Danzo sighed, "If there were no external or internal crises, and if there was enough time, Mo, the strategy you mentioned would certainly be more stable and effective.
However, I can tell you clearly that in addition to the external enemy, Obito, Konoha now also has an internal enemy, the inherently evil Uchiha clan.
Hiruko dare not easily enter Konoha to cause trouble, but the Uchiha clan is different. They are in our heartland. If they start a rebellion, the consequences will be disastrous. "
Shimura Danzo paused here and stared at Kinoshita Ichiro, “Therefore, I decided to go against Sarutobi Hiruzen’s wishes, unleash the power of the Root Organization, and replace him with a decisive Fourth Hokage.
Kinoshitarou, I know you received a secret order from the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and you came to the Root organization to monitor us.
Now please make a choice, will you choose to be a member of the Root Organization or an enemy of the Root Organization?
The Root Organization has already sacrificed a captain codenamed C, and perhaps the next C will be sacrificed.
Alas, I am afraid that C will become an unlucky code name within the Root organization in the future."
Kinoshita Ichiro was sweating profusely and looked at Mo Congfeng and Shimura Danzo, unable to make a decision.
Mo Congfeng was also a little surprised. The development of this matter had exceeded his expectations. Judging from what Danzo Shimura meant, if Kinoshita Ichiro chose to be loyal to the Third Hokage, then today would be the day of Kinoshita Ichiro's death.
If that was the case, Mo Congfeng would immediately break out with Kinoshita Ichiro and completely side with the Third Hokage, becoming completely opposed to Shimura Danzo.
In this way, all the efforts made by Mo Congfeng in this period will be wasted, and his plan to unite Danzo Shimura and others to launch an attack on the Uchiha clan will be completely defeated. Mo Congfeng's tolerance of Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru in this period will immediately become meaningless.
But after experiencing the painful lessons of Shizuka and Hiruko, Mo Congfeng knew how to make a choice so that he would not regret it.
Mo Congfeng began to calculate the chances of winning. Shina Touhiko would definitely stand on his side. The truly powerful ones were Danzo Shimura and six detachment captains. Three against four, Mo Congfeng did not feel afraid.
But Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru are definitely not stupid people. They should take the stance of the small group of Mo Congfeng, Shina Touhiko, and Kinoshita Ichiro.
They shouldn't fight an unprepared battle. Mo Congfeng thought about the deep well-like terrain he was in and understood their plan.
Who knows how many traps and mechanisms are buried in such a deep well. Could it be that Danzo Shimura wants to take this opportunity to launch an attack and eliminate the internal separatist forces that have formed within the Root organization in one fell swoop?
Mo Congfeng patted Kinoshita Ichiro's shoulder and said softly, "Think about the Uchiha brats you have killed. Lord Danzo Shimura did this to unite enough forces to curb the harm that the Uchiha clan may cause.
In order to deal with the Uchiha, we really need a decisive and ruthless Fourth Hokage."
Kinoshita's face turned pale, "I am willing to accept the seal of the Tongue Trouble Root Awakening and keep all the secrets of the Root Organization, just to control the Uchiha clan, these evil dogs!"
Mo Congfeng suddenly felt that he was despicable for imposing his will on Kinoshita Ichiro.
Shimura Danzo laughed, "Very good, that's good, now let's discuss the candidate for the Fourth Hokage we want to support!"
Everyone looked at Orochimaru. There was no doubt that among these people, Orochimaru, as a disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the Three Ninjas, was the most qualified to become the Fourth Hokage.
Orochimaru understood the meaning of everyone's gaze, and chuckled and refused, "I did aspire to become the Fourth Hokage in the past, but after I joined the Root Organization and began to shoulder the research work of the Root Organization, I have extinguished the thought of becoming the Fourth Hokage.
I recommend Danzo-sama, and the Root Organization should support Shimura Danzo-sama to become the Fourth Hokage."
Mo Congfeng couldn't believe his ears. Shimura Danzo's age was wrong. According to Orochimaru's theory of ninja lifespan, Shimura Danzo had passed his prime and was no longer suitable to be the Fourth Hokage.
Unexpectedly, Shimura Danzo nodded slightly, "Well, in that case, I will reluctantly join the competition for the position of the Fourth Hokage!"
In Mo Congfeng's mind, the image that Shimura Danzo displayed during the day had completely reversed. Something must have happened that he didn't know about!
Mo Congfeng recalled the scene where Danzo Shimura stared at his hands with disbelief on his face, and an idea flashed through his mind.
Danzo Shimura's lost hands underwent changes, which gave him the confidence to seize the position of the Fourth Hokage!
