The sea was vast and boundless. Cold Wind, who had transformed into Long Hyuga, and Bai Jue's clone were running rapidly on the surface of the sea. The two of them swung their four hands freely in the sea breeze.
"Zetsu, didn't you say that we can get back to the Land of Fire in half a day?"
Cold Wind asked as he ran, "It's been half a day, why haven't I seen the coastline yet?"
Bai Jue's clone was also puzzled.
The pier they came from before was a little far from the island of the Land of Whirlpools, so it took three days by boat. However, the distance between the two points was very short. They only needed to cross the sea to reach the coastline of the Land of Fire. With their speed, half a day was more than enough!
Unless …
White Zue's doppelganger looked at Cold Wind who was leading the way. His face, which was as white as chalk, twitched slightly. He forced a smile and said, "Long, are you lost?"
"Zetsu, let me tell you a secret, I! Won't get lost! I swear in the name of the Hyuga Clan's ancestors! "
Cold Wind said confidently, "So don't make this kind of joke with me!"
"I hope so."
Bai Jue's clone looked up at the position of the sun and estimated the direction they were running in by comparing the sunlight with the time, and then found that they were indeed running in the wrong direction.
The Hyuga Clan's ancestors were really pitiful to have such unfilial descendants.
Bai Jue's clone muttered in his heart, but his movements were very fast. He strode past Cold Wind and said with a smile, "Let me lead the way."
"Okay."
Cold Wind followed behind Bai Jue's clone obediently, and then opened his Byakugan. While admiring Bai Jue's clone, he pretended to ask casually, "Zetsu, can't you merge with the sea?"
Bai Jue's clone didn't hide and said, "I can only merge with the earth."
"Why can't you merge with the sea?" Cold Wind asked.
Is it because you are made of wood?
"This is my ninjutsu, there is no reason."
Bai Jue's doppelganger gave an example without looking back. "Just like your Byakugan, can you use Sharingan Genjutsu?"
"I see."
Cold Wind muttered to himself, "So, Bai Jue can't track and monitor us silently on the sea?"
Previously on the ship … Well, it might have merged with the cabin. After all, it was also made of wood.
Since Bai Jue has this flaw, I can change my identity and come to the sea.
Cold Wind's mind raced.
Under the accurate guidance of Bai Jue's doppelganger, Cold Wind finally saw the endless coastline of the Fire Nation before sunset.
"We're finally here."
Cold Wind smiled and asked, "Where is Orochi Maru?"
Now that he has found the skeleton of the Uzumaki Clan, the next step is to use the Edo Tensei. In order to prevent Orochi Maru from being lazy, he really has to closely monitor him and harvest him!
"Orochi Maru is now in the Waterfall Nation." Bai Jue's doppelganger was silent for a few seconds before replying.
Cold Wind was stunned, Waterfall Nation?
Orochi Maru's laboratory in the Waterfall Nation?
Although confused, Bai Jue wouldn't lie to him about this kind of thing. Cold Wind immediately set off.
…
Wood Leaf.
Naruto Tower.
Po Shui Mun has learned from Kakashi that Koharu met Danzō in secret late at night.
He sat on his desk, frowning.
Danzō's first contact with the two consultants should be to encourage them to use Waterstop's defection as a reason to force him to make a decision against the Uchiha Clan.
But Po Shui Mun didn't respond.
So they began the second contact, and after this contact, they will probably take action.
What will it be?
Po Shui Mun thought for ten minutes but still couldn't figure it out.
He immediately asked the guard on duty today to invite Shihisa Nara.
As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. With Shihisa Nara's help, it won't be a big problem!
Half an hour later, Shihisa Nara arrived.
"Yondaime-sama." Shihisa Nara bowed slightly. "You suddenly called me here, did something happen?"
"It's about Consultant Koharu."
Po Shui Mun immediately told him about Danzō and Koharu's secret meeting, as well as his own concerns, and asked him to analyze it.
Shihisa Nara's IQ was 250, and it wasn't an exaggeration, so he immediately began to reason.
"Waterstop's defection caused a huge shock in the Uchiha Clan. If it weren't for Patriarch Tomiyama using Uchiha Waterstop to attract their attention, the situation might have been out of control long ago."
Shihisa Nara said, "But even with Uchiha Waterstop as a scapegoat, there are still many ninjas in the Uchiha Clan who are ready to make a move. If I'm not wrong, Consultant Danzō will probably send someone to provoke these Uchiha Clan members. When they can't help but make a move, the two consultants will have a reasonable reason to bypass Yondaime-sama and directly punish the Uchiha."
Bypass me and directly take action?
Po Shui Mun frowned slightly.
To be honest, Po Shui Mun didn't have a strong desire for power, so he entrusted Sarutobi, Koharu, and Mitokado with important tasks. He handed over the management of the Wood Leaf Government agencies to the three of them, such as urban construction, land planning, water and electricity, medical industry, and so on. Po Shui Mun was mainly responsible for signing documents.
As for the ninja-related agencies, Po Shui Mun was personally in charge.
If things really develop according to Shihisa Nara's plan, then Po Shui Mun can take back the power of the two consultants in advance and directly destroy their actions.
However, Koharu and Mitokado have been in charge of the Wood Leaf Government agencies since Sandaime-Sama took office, and they are really deeply rooted. If they are removed for inexplicable reasons, it may lead to paralysis of the government agencies.
Po Shui Mun thought about it and decided to consult Shihisa Nara.
Listening to Po Shui Mun's distress, Shihisa Nara scratched his high ponytail, and he felt that he pulled out a lot of hair. After pondering for a long time, he said: "In fact, Yondaime-sama got the main point wrong."
"Huh?" Po Shui Mun was startled.
"Yondaime-sama, even without Koharu and the others, with Advisor Danzō's extreme style of doing things, he will still take action. Once the Uchiha ninjas can't control themselves and start a fight, will Yondaime-sama turn a blind eye to it?" Shihisa Nara asked.
"So, the most important thing is still Advisor Danzō." Po Shui Mun's expression gradually became dignified.
As a consultant, Danzō's power was different from Koharu and Mitokado's.
Root is Danzō's power!
Removing Koharu and Mitokado may cause paralysis in the government, but if Danzō is removed, Root may cause chaos.
This is also the reason why Po Shui Mun has been suppressing Danzō, but he didn't directly remove him!
Of course, in Po Shui Mun's original plan, he planned to weaken Root step by step until it was completely disbanded, then he would remove Danzō from the government, or arrange him to accompany Koharu, Mitokado, and Sarutobi!
But in the past few years, Danzo and his Root had been living in seclusion, and they didn't even see each other for a year or so. Under such circumstances, Namikaze Minato had no excuse to look for trouble. Coupled with the fact that he was busy with official business, he soon forgot about Danzo.
"It seems that my previous idea was right."
With this incident, Po Shui Mun was more determined to disband Root and remove Danzō.
"Shikaku, do you have any suggestions?"
Po Shui Mun wasn't ashamed to ask.
In terms of cultivation, Po Shui Mun was several streets ahead of Shihisa Nara, but in terms of intelligence, Shihisa Nara wasn't inferior to anyone!
Shihisa Nara touched his chin and bowed his head to think. After a long time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Yondaime-sama, we seem to have overlooked a very important point!"
Shihisa Nara suddenly looked up at Po Shui Mun, his eyes were shining, "What is Consultant Danzō's motive for doing this?"
"Motive?"
Po Shui Mun thought for a moment and said, "Consultant Danzō has always been biased against the Uchiha Clan, he should want to use Waterstop's defection to suppress the Uchiha Clan."
As soon as he said that, Po Shui Mun frowned.
Danzō was very smart, after the halving of Root's funds and the banning of gambling houses, he must know that Po Shui Mun was targeting him, which was why he kept a low profile for the past few years!
In other words, Danzō knew that once he jumped out to cause trouble, he wouldn't be able to protect himself, so why would he take such a big risk to suppress the Uchiha Clan?
Could it be that if he successfully suppressed the Uchiha Clan, Po Shui Mun wouldn't target him?
Shihisa Nara had already thought of the answer, but he didn't say it out loud.
Po Shui Mun thought for a long time before he vaguely made a terrifying guess.
"Consultant Danzō wants to force the Uchiha Clan … to launch a coup d 'état?" Po Shui Mun looked at Shihisa Nara in disbelief.
If the Uchiha Clan launched a coup d 'état, Po Shui Mun naturally wouldn't have the time and energy to make things difficult for Danzō!
Shihisa Nara smiled in relief, then added, "To be precise, it should be a joint coup d 'état! Waterstop's defection, coupled with the continuous suppression from the village's higher-ups, this will make the Uchiha Clan jittery. At this time, Consultant Danzō appeared and sincerely cooperated with the Uchiha Clan, one in the light and one in the dark. If there's a coup d 'état, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Po Shui Mun's expression became uglier and uglier.
He thought that he had paid enough attention to Danzō, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated him.
Coup d 'état?
Danzō's way of doing things had always been extreme, so a coup d 'état wasn't surprising!
And if the Uchiha Clan followed Danzō's script, it was very likely that they would be dragged down by him!
Fortunately, there was a huge 'flaw' in all of this. Danzō didn't know that Waterstop's defection was to carry out a spy plan, but Uchiha Tomiyama knew!
Po Shui Mun narrowed his eyes, and a 'conspiracy' gradually emerged in his mind.
"Fourth generation, it's time for me to go." Shihisa Nara stood up.
Since he had seen through Danzō's conspiracy, the rest was no longer a problem.
"Thank you very much for this time." Po Shui Mun stood up and thanked him.
After Shihisa Nara left, Po Shui Mun continued to work, get off work, eat, and beat up Naruto as if nothing had happened. It wasn't until late at night that Po Shui Mun wrote a letter in his bedroom, sealed it with a sealing technique, and then handed the letter to Shinna Kushina.
"Shinna Kushina, please personally hand this letter to Uchiha Mikoto, I'm counting on you." Po Shui Mun said solemnly.
"I understand."
Shinna Kushina sensed that this letter might have something to do with Waterstop's defection, but she didn't ask.
The next morning, Po Shui Mun went to work as usual, while Shinna Kushina went shopping with her best friend Uchiha Mikoto. When they parted in the evening, Uchiha Mikoto had an extra letter in her arms.
On the third day, Uchiha Mikoto took the initiative to invite Shinna Kushina to go shopping.
On the fourth day, these two plastic sisters were cold.
But Po Shui Mun and Uchiha Tomiyama had secretly reached an agreement.
An agreement to kill Danzō.
