"Fugaku, you know that what yoing to do will directly put you against Danzo, and if you fail to eliminate him this time, the Uchiha will directly be against him. He will stop targeting you in the dark and will openly go against you," Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga , said.

  After the Uchiha , this was the that had tributed the most in building this vilge along with the Senju , which is why they were called the noble of Konoha.

  "I know, but he has already done so much harm in the dark that I would rather make a move against him than keep on suffering. The number of ninja we have lost is almost 1.5 times as many as yours," Fugaku said.

  Kiba Inuzuka, the head of the Inuzuka , asked, "Fugaku, are you sure that what you have reported in your report is true?"

  "That was just two is. Don't tell me you actually believed that the 10-year-old in from your died fighting against some bandits when a rogue ninja ambushed him. How absurd would it be for a rogue ninja to successfully ambush an Inuzuka member if they are not a jonin?

  And do you think a rogue jonin would e that deep into our territory and also be able to take the bodies of him and his dog while the bandits were killed to hide the traces? Try telling this to the children of your d see if even they believe this bullshit," Fugaku said with an annoyed voice.

  "You know what I'm talking about," Kiba tinued.

  "Yes, and you also know that Root is the only anization capable of pulling that stunt off," Fugaku said while passing all of the plete files to the heads.

  They took the files and began reading them, with their chakra fring time to time. Many of their young talents who were 'actally' killed or kidnapped during their missions were under Root.

  There le proof present in the files to validate those cims.

  Shibi Aburame, the leader of the Aburame , became increasingly angry about this because it was his that had suffered the most after the Uchiha .

  It was easier to kidnap the ninjas of other s, but not his, therefore, most of them were killed and used as research material by Root.

  Then he remembered how Danzo came to his office a month before, taking a batch of young ninja from his to bee a part of Root. No matter how much he wao deny him, knowing the high casualty rate of Root training, he didn't have the authority to do so and had to give Danzo many young children from his , but only on the dition that these ninja would not have the same training as other Root ninja and die during training.

  But acc to the report in his hand, only 2 out of 10 ninja were able to survive the training. Knowing that Danzo now had his eyes on his own son, Shibi became a plete supporter of the Uchiha removing Danzo.

  "I will support you pletely." This was his only statement, but it was enough because all the heads uood from his statement that even if the Uchiha failed in this attack, the Aburame would still support them.

  Slowly, every head gave their support to Fugaku, even though not to the extent of the Aburame , but they were going to support him pletely this time.

  Having so many heads as his supporters, Fugaku could easily make Danzo take a break from his position for more than a couple of years, even if Hiruzen supported him as usual.

  But the whole situation had ged, and with his lips slightly curling up, Fugaku became apparently happy thinking about the face Danzo would make after he uood how messed up his situation had bee.

  "Then I will raise a pint against Danzo tomorrow with an official request for a cil meeting. I would be expeg your approval for that," Fugaku said.

  Everyone present heir heads, hearing that, a back to their pounds after that, but they didn't go back alone. Eae of them had a shadow tailing them back to their .

  They were all jonin under Fugaku, tasked to keep an eye on those heads because any one of them may leak his pns to Danzo for some extra bes.

  Fugaku didn't want to take any risks at this point in time. Then he called a ninja and told him t Shisui to his office, going back to his offiplete some other preparations required for this task.

  ...

  "Good evening, Fugaku-sama," Shisui said, entering Fugaku's office.

  "What happeo you? Why are there two bck balloons under your eyes? Did someory to poison you?" Shisui asked, trying to act ed.

  "For fuck's sake, you be serious for on your life? Here I am w non-stop to make this pn successful, and you are resting your ass off for the st two days," Fugaku said angrily.

  "I'm sorry, sir, but I respectfully remind you that I am the one you sacrificed the most and pleted the task given to me," Shisui became serious once again.

  "Yes, I want a full report about that. Tell me everything iail," Fugaku said.

  ...

  Shisui directly went to the Hokage's office after dropping his mom and Yomi at Fugaku's house.

  "I want to discuss something very important with Lord Third," Shisui said to the Receptionist.

  The Receptionist just nodded her head ao the Hokage's office to rey the information.

  'Danzo, what have you dohis time?' Hiruzen thought and told her secretary to call Shisui.
