Danzo's face was ugly, and his scalp tingled slightly.
Yes!
He was not stupid. He was a little confused at first, but now he had reacted.
These ninja clans must have defected to the Uchiha!
Nonsense.
The entire Konoha was strictly monitored by the Barrier Team. If such a large number of people left the village, how could the Barrier Team not notice at all?
And in the current Konoha, there was only one place they could go.
The Uchiha!
Thinking of this, his face became even worse. The Uchiha were already difficult to deal with. With the joining of so many ninja clans, how arrogant would the Uchiha become?
Also...
More importantly, how to explain to Hiruzen!
If he knew that because of his actions, major ninja clans defected to the Uchiha, Sarutobi Hiruzen would probably tear him apart alive.
What to do?
Danzo's brain spun frantically, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly.
"Tell Hiruzen I won't go."
"Root received intelligence that something happened in other ninja villages, and I need to deal with it immediately."
"Yes, that's it!"
At this moment, Danzo's face was full of solemnity.
As if something big really happened in other ninja villages, urgently needing him, Danzo, to go and deal with it immediately.
The Anbu member was dumbfounded.
Damn!
If you do this, how do I explain?
His forehead was covered with cold sweat: "Danzo-sama, but the Hokage ordered..."
"Enough, shut up." Danzo interrupted directly, his tone quite serious: "If you really delay the village's major events, can you afford it?"
"Just report it to Hiruzen like this; you don't need to worry about other things."
After speaking.
Without any hesitation, Danzo left directly using the Body Flicker Technique.
Yes.
He was not stupid!
Now that all the major ninja clans had defected to the Uchiha, if he ran to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the enraged Sarutobi Hiruzen might really dare to summon Enma and poke him out of the village with a stick.
So?
Run, run!
Anyway, he was not the Hokage; Sarutobi Hiruzen should be the anxious one.
As the Hokage, he was more anxious than him!
If this matter couldn't be resolved, then his position as Hokage would be unstable. So it was better to wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen to handle it, and then it would be time for him to return to Konoha and show his grand plans!
Anbu member: "..."
His mouth twitched.
Looking at Danzo's leaving figure, although he really wanted to stop him, his status was too high, and he simply didn't dare to stop him!
There was no helping it.
He was the Hokage's companion after all. No matter how big a mistake he made, at most he would be scolded by the Hokage, and then everything would be as usual.
But, what about himself?
If he was hated by Danzo, he could go choose a grave now.
What to do?
At this moment, the Anbu member was completely bewildered.
But, sigh!
Finally, after a helpless sigh, he returned to the Hokage's office helplessly.
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting behind the desk, whose face was gloomy as ink and whose aura was cold as hell, and the two elders standing beside the Hokage, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However.
He still knelt respectfully on one knee, and then said in a very steady tone.
"Reporting to—Hokage-sama!"
"Danzo-sama's Root received a secret letter saying that there were some small movements in other ninja villages, and he needs to go deal with it immediately."
"He will come back after dealing with it!"
After speaking.
The Anbu member kneeling on one knee couldn't help but start sweating on his forehead.
Then, immediately after.
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Utatane Koharu screamed.
"What? Danzo ran away?"
"That damned guy caused such a big mess, and then you tell me he ran away?"
"Why didn't you stop him!"
Utatane Koharu's face was very ugly, pointing at the Anbu and cursing loudly.
Even Mitokado Homura was extremely angry.
Yes!
They already knew what happened at this time, which was why they asked the Anbu to notify Danzo for a meeting immediately.
But, damn it.
Danzo, this damned dog, actually patted his butt and ran away just like that?
"Enough!"
"Now is not the time to shift responsibility; finding a way to solve the problem as soon as possible is the key."
"Alright, you go down."
Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and smashed the seventeenth pipe, which showed how angry he was at this time.
However.
He still waved his hand to the Anbu and let him leave directly.
Obviously, he also knew very well that if Danzo wanted to leave, the Anbu dared not and could not stop him. Now that the major ninja clans defected to the Uchiha, his manpower was already stretched thin, and he couldn't get angry casually and chill the hearts of his subordinates.
Hearing this, the Anbu felt as if he had been granted a pardon.
Without saying a word, he quickly left the Hokage's office. At this time, his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
There was no helping it.
When he came to work at the Anbu today, he found that almost half of his Anbu colleagues didn't come to work, leaving only resignation letters on their respective desks.
Now, things were big!
The remaining members of the Anbu reported immediately, and then Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious and immediately sent people to conduct targeted investigations.
And the ninja clans didn't intend to hide it, so it was naturally investigated immediately. So Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was angry to the limit, immediately assigned him, this unlucky guy, to find Danzo.
But, damn it.
Who would have thought that Danzo, this bastard, would be so shameless? The first moment he found something was wrong, instead of thinking about solving it, he actually thought about running away directly?
Damn it.
Killed me!
As for why this matter was exposed today, actually, this Anbu was also very clear.
Although the Anbu was filled with a large number of civilian ninjas, the true backbone ninjas were members of ninja clans. This was the fundamental reason why the major ninja clans transferred frantically last night but were never discovered by the village higher-ups.
Whether it was the Anbu, the Barrier Team, the Intelligence Division, or the Interrogation Department, they were all filled with a large number of ninja clan members.
Now that these ninja clans wanted to run away, the members of these departments naturally had to help hide it.
After their own clan grounds were emptied, these people would run away last.
...
Hokage's Office, the atmosphere was depressing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two looked ugly. For a while, no one could think of a solution. After all, this happened too suddenly, leaving them with no mental preparation at all.
No choice!
Who would have thought that Danzo would be so ruthless? His authorization was only seven people per clan, but this guy dared to secretly increase it to seventeen, and each clan had to provide five Jonin.
Good heavens.
This is asking for the lives of those ninja clans!
Especially the Aburame clan, it was damn inhumane, asking Clan Head Aburame Shibi to take the lead and bring the entire clan to join Root?
Damn it, so ruthless!
When getting this news, Sarutobi Hiruzen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Just at this time, Jiraiya jumped in from the window.
"Old man..."
"Calling me so urgently, what did the Uchiha do again?"
