Chapter 321 If he were still a human being, he would not be so useless as to do nothing!
Reception room.

After listening to what Yamanaka Inoichi said.

Bah!
Qiu Daoding's fat body suddenly stood up and shouted angrily:
"We will gather our clan members immediately and go to the Root to find Danzo and ask for clarification!"

The three clans have always been of the same mind. In the past, because the number asked for by the other party was not much, they accepted it in order to support the Hokage system.

But now more than twenty mountain ninjas are needed at one time, which is simply leaving them no chance to survive. How can people not be angry?

Previously, for the sake of the village, they sent out all their private troops and paid a huge amount of supplies.

However, they were tricked by the Third Hokage and got nothing in return. The other party used abdication as the price, leaving them no excuse to make trouble.

The original idea was to force the corrupt and greedy old guys like Konoha F4 to step down, and the major ninja clans were not opposed to accepting this.

But who would have thought that the Fourth Hokage would die in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, leaving the Third Hokage to temporarily take over the position of Hokage.

Until now, there has been no intention to elect a Hokage.

It’s not that there is no suitable person in the village, it’s just that the person is not from the Hokage lineage, so the other party’s behavior naturally made the major ninja clans unhappy.

When the village was first established, it was said that the Hokage would be elected by the villagers. But it is too much for you, the Hokage, to directly regard the position of Hokage as your own.

Filled with resentment, all the major ninja clans laid down and gave up after the war.

But they didn't expect that Danzo would come and target them even after all this, and it's no wonder that the hot-tempered Akimichi Choza reacted so strongly.

"Calm down Ding Zuo!"

Nara Shikaku stopped his friend's impulse.

But to be honest, he might be dissatisfied with the third generation.

At least he was very dissatisfied with the other party's letting Danzo go, but he knew that in the heart of the Hokage, his status was far inferior to that of several advisory elders, so he did not dare to say it.

In his opinion, letting Orochimaru take the throne was the best option. Even though it would suppress the ninja clan, it could at least allow Konoha to recover quickly.

But just because the other party did not have the "Will of Fire", he denied the other party.

In response to this, Nara Shikaku just wanted to say, "As long as you are happy."

Because other people don't know about the Will of Fire, but don't these great ninjas know it? It's a completely naive and unrealistic ideal.

Yes, Sarutobi Hiruzen may really believe in the Will of Fire, but the problem is that he is not the only one in the top leadership.

Nara Shikaku wasn't going to obey this order anyway.

After stopping Ding Zuo, he said:
"Danzo should not only come to the Yamanaka clan to ask for people to join the Root, he will definitely go to the Aburame clan as well. Let's find them and go together to ask for mercy from the Hokage!"

The Yamanaka and Aburame clans are considered the hardest hit by the Root, because their personalities and secret techniques are too suitable for the Root.

But before they could head to the Aburame clan, they discovered that the other clan leader had already arrived at the Yamanaka clan.

"Shikaku, you must save our Aburame clan this time!"

As soon as they met, Aburame Zhiwei, the chief of the Aburame clan, changed his usual taciturn style and asked for help directly.

Nara Shikaku asked with a frown.

"what happened?"

He felt that Danzo must have done something to make the so-called 'perfect ninja' Shiwei Aburame lose her composure like this.

"Danzo demands fifteen members of our Aburame clan!"

Aburame Shiwei told them a piece of news that shocked them.

That doesn't sound like a lot.

But you have to know that the Aburame clan is just a small ninja clan, with only a few dozen ninjas in the entire clan. This number represents nearly half of the clan members.

It's as if he wants to wipe out the Aburame clan.

"How dare Danzo do this? Why doesn't he just let you, the clan leader, join the Root!"

Akimichi Dingzuo complained indignantly.

The other party has a good relationship with them. Although he is taciturn, he is an extremely reliable companion on the battlefield.

As soon as he complained, he found that the other party was silent.

A terrible thought came to his mind, and Qiu Daoting asked in a low voice in disbelief:

"Zhiwei, the roots won't really include you..."

I have never heard of such a thing, Danzo shouldn't dare...right?

"Yes, I'm on the list too!"

Aburame Shiwei nodded decisively.

If they had not been forced to this point, with their Aburame clan's always submissive attitude, they would never have had such a big reaction. "..."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

No one expected that Danzo would be so crazy.

Not to mention the members of the Dianji family, even the clan leader was ready to swallow the root together. No one else would dare to do such a thing, let alone think about it.

Danzo is truly brave!

For a moment they didn't know what to say.

"Let's go, let's go see the Third Generation Master!"

Nara Shikaku finally spoke.

And when they left the clan land and headed for the Hokage Building, the clan leaders of the small ninja clans, such as Inuzuka, Kazesatsura, Kurama, etc., also followed.

They are also 'victims'.

Although Danzo favored the Aburame and Yamanaka clans, he did not let these ninja clans go.

After all, the talents of the adopted orphans are really not good, far inferior to those of the descendants of the ninja clan. In addition, these ninja clans have been trained since childhood, which can even save the Root a lot of time and resources. How can he not seize the opportunity to kill them?

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in the office, received a report that many clan leaders wanted to see him. He was shocked and gestured for people to come in.

"Shikaku, what are you doing...?"

He didn't understand what could have happened that could have brought them together.

"Hokage-sama, I beg you to save our Aburame clan!"

The scholar got down from his seat and begged for mercy.

"Zhiwei, get up quickly, what's going on?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up in confusion, not understanding what was going on with Aburame Shiwei.

Small ninja clans like the Aburame clan, who are loyal and powerful, are the backbone of Konoha. He would have to be crazy not to save them.

Even the Second Hokage's strategy of weakening the ninja clans and supporting the civilians was meant to weaken those ninja clans with too much power, and would not target smaller ninja clans.

"Hokage-sama, you let fifteen Aburame members, including Shiwei, join the Root...!"

Nara Shikaku reminded quietly.

When the clan leaders who followed heard this, their faces were filled with disbelief.

They also didn't expect that Danzo could actually do such a thing. He was completely inhuman.

But that's true, if the other party can still be a human being, he won't be a complete non-human at all.

After listening to what Nara Shikaku said, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally realized what Danzo had done.

"Call Danzo immediately!"

He angrily ordered an ANBU.

There is no way. If we fail to appease these ninjas, we will be in trouble.

The other party is the real pillar of their Hokage system. If they really lose their support, it would not be surprising that the Hokage system might collapse.

These clan leaders did not say anything, but just stood silently in the office.

Their presence here has already shown their attitude.

That is to say, I want an explanation for what happened today.

Normally they would obey the Hokage without hesitation, whether it was conscription or material support, and were willing to give everything for the village.

But what Danzo did today did break their bottom line.

If they dare to do this today, they will dare to annex the ninja clan tomorrow, and they dare not even think about the day after tomorrow.

If they don't stand up this time, it might be their turn next time.

Of course, Danzo was not a fool, and he did not attack the elders and the Uchiha and Hyuga ninja clans.

As for the Shimura clan?

He had no intention of letting it go, he just wanted to strike at the end.

It has to be said that Danzo really treated everyone equally in this regard, and did not show mercy just because the Shimura clan were his own people.

Unfortunately, before he could visit the Shimura clan, he was found by the Anbu and sent to the Hokage's office.

Dozens of minutes.
The Hokage's office welcomed the culprit of today's incident.
