Nara Shikaku's tone was calm.
He had no good feelings for Danzo in front of him. Although he would give basic respect, don't expect more.
After all, their Ino-Shika-Cho three clans had a very stable ecological niche in Konoha.
Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had regained power, could only remove their management positions, he had no way to revoke the positions of their clan members.
Especially—the Yamanaka clan!
Without the secret techniques of the Yamanaka family, the Torture and Interrogation Corps would be directly paralyzed.
Although genjutsu and conventional interrogation also had a certain effect, they were far worse than the secret techniques of the Yamanaka family.
The brains of the Nara family were also irreplaceable!
If they really encountered trouble and difficulties, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to beg him.
The Akimichi family was the strongest among the three clans and was also the combat power foundation of their three clans. So even though Ino-Shika-Cho had been kicked out of the core layer, Nara Shikaku could still sit firmly on the fishing platform.
But, unfortunately.
With Danzo's words, Nara Shikaku couldn't hold it together.
"This is the Hokage's transfer order; each family contributes seventeen people!"
"Root is in urgent need of fresh blood recently. Since the three of you clan heads are here, it saves me an extra trip. I'll give you two hours to prepare."
"And don't even think about fooling me. At the very least, I need elite Chunin, and the number of Jonin-level personnel must not be less than five."
"I'll give you one day to prepare. I'll come back at this time tomorrow!"
After speaking.
Danzo took out the Hokage's transfer order directly, let the three of them take a brief look, and then put it away.
Yes!
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen only agreed to requisition seven people from each family, if he, Danzo, didn't play some small tricks, he wouldn't be Shimura Danzo, the Darkness of the Ninja World.
So, hehe.
Through Root's forgery expert, he directly changed the number seven to seventeen on this Hokage transfer order.
Thinking of this, Danzo admired himself even more.
Hehe.
He was really a little genius!
Subsequently.
He ignored the ugly faces of the three people in front of him and left Nara Shikaku's house directly.
Inside the tea room, there was dead silence.
With Danzo's departure, the faces of the three people present became extremely bad.
Bang!
Akimichi Choza went crazy first and slammed the table directly.
"Damn it, I absolutely disagree!"
"I would rather the whole clan defect to the Uchiha than allow clansmen to join Root."
"There is no room for negotiation on this point."
"What are your opinions?"
At this moment, Akimichi Choza didn't hesitate at all and expressed his thoughts directly.
Clearly.
He had been completely enraged by Danzo. That was a full seventeen clansmen!
And five of them had to be Jonin level.
If they really handed these people over, then the Akimichi clan could also announce its dissolution.
"The village has indeed gone too far this time!"
Yamanaka Inoichi's face was cold, and then he said directly: "I absolutely cannot accept it either. It's better to defect to the Uchiha collectively."
Yes.
Unlike the Nara and Akimichi clans, Danzo liked to use members of the Yamanaka family very much.
Therefore, Yamanaka Inoichi naturally knew more about Root than the other two, so even though he was usually calm, he made the same decision as Akimichi Choza now.
Immediately after.
The two looked at Nara Shikaku at the same time, the smartest person among the three clans.
In response to this.
Nara Shikaku exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.
"Inoichi, Choza, don't be anxious!"
"Danzo gave us a day. We have enough time to analyze this matter."
"First, point one."
"Do you think with Sarutobi Hiruzen's temper, he would give Danzo such great authorization?"
Almost in an instant.
With Nara Shikaku's words, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza fell into silence upon hearing this.
That's right!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation was already bad. If the village couldn't pick a suitable person now, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't be qualified to be the Hokage at all.
For someone who valued his reputation so much, in this complex environment, even if Root really needed to replenish manpower, would he issue such an authorization that disregarded means and the life and death of ninja clans?
Wasn't he afraid of forcing all ninja clans to rebel?
You have to know.
In the current Konoha, they were not the only dominant force; the Uchiha had already risen!
Yamanaka Inoichi pondered for a moment: "Shikaku, what do you mean?"
"I think we shouldn't make a decision." Nara Shikaku said slowly: "It's still the old saying, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"
"Doesn't Danzo want manpower? Then we'll give it to him, but remember to remind our people that once they leave the Ino-Shika-Cho clan grounds, they should defect immediately and run towards the Uchiha clan grounds."
"Internal strife!"
"Anyway, it has already happened once, so what if it happens again?"
Hiss!
With Nara Shikaku's words, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Akimichi Choza couldn't help but ask: "Is it really okay to fool Danzo like this?"
"Not a big problem." Nara Shikaku said slowly: "Just fooling him is enough."
"If it were before the Uchiha rose, we definitely couldn't fool the Konoha higher-ups like this."
"Now, it's different!"
"Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen wants our whole clan to defect to the Uchiha, even if he knows everything in his heart, he has to pretend not to know anything on the surface."
"Even if he wants to settle accounts with us, he has to wait until after the Uchiha are destroyed."
"But, the problem is..."
"Can the Konoha higher-ups last until then?"
"Even if the Konoha higher-ups really win in the end, they will definitely lose a lot of strength. At that time, even if they still want to settle accounts with us, how much strength will they have left?"
"If the Konoha higher-ups can really destroy the Uchiha without injury, then we Ino-Shika-Cho will continue to keep a low profile. Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen is very old. Even if he lives long, how many more years can he live?"
Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza nodded upon hearing this.
It had to be said...
Nara Shikaku's method was good. No matter who won in the end, Ino-Shika-Cho might not be able to get into the core, but continuing the clan would not be a big problem.
"Okay, I agree!" Akimichi Choza said.
Yamanaka Inoichi: "Let's settle it like this."
Immediately after.
With this major event settled, the atmosphere naturally became relaxed.
Akimichi Choza drank a cup of tea and couldn't help but ask: "With Danzo messing around like this, how many other ninja clans do you think will defect to the Uchiha?"
"I feel, definitely not a few." Yamanaka Inoichi said directly: "The Aburame clan will definitely collapse."
"Their clan is not good with words. No matter who takes office in the end, they cannot enter the core layer."
"And their bugs are too comprehensive, lacking neither offensive nor defensive means, and even possessing perception abilities."
"Plus, the Aburame clan's foundation is not high. If they don't want to be exterminated, then they must defect to the Uchiha!"
