Naruto: Rise To The Top
14 The Konoha Council

14 The Konoha Council

After day.

The Hokage building.

In the meeting room.

"Hirozen, why are you doing this without consulting me?" Danzo is angry at the Third Hokage for making Ryuu Tsunade's student unbeknownst to him.

"I don't understand why you're angry. There was no problem with making Ryuu as Tsunade's disciple, the two of them were future clan leaders if their relationship was good, this could bring the relationship between Senju and Uchiha closer and closer." perhaps defusing their hostility, this is good for resolving the conflict within Konoha." The Third Hokage did not understand why Danzo was so angry, what he did would bring benefits to Konoha and not harm Konoha.

Actually, there was another reason for Danzo's anger, during the past month he made several attempts to kill Ryuu, but they were stopped by Tsunade. If Ryuu becomes Tsunade's disciple, they will be together often. It would be much harder to kill Ryuu than before.

"What do you think of Homura, Koharu?" The Third Hokage asked.

"I think what Hiruzen did was right. If we can eliminate the conflict in the village, we can focus on the more important things." Homura said to support the Third Hokage's decision.

"I also agree with what Hiruzen said that it would benefit Konoha." Koharu agreed with the Third Hokage's decision.

"Did you hear that Danzo? Homura and Koharu agreed with what I did. Do you have anything else to say?" The Third Hokage.

"Well, since you all agree to this, I don't mind anymore."

Danzo was angry at Homura and Koharu for not supporting him but agreeing to Hiruzen's decision, but he knew how to make them side with him.

"But I have something else to discuss, about Kushina Uzumaki's relationship with Ryuu Uchiha. You all know it will be a jinchuriki in the future, but if it is in the hands of the Uchiha, their influence will greatly increase, affecting the balance of power between clans in Konoha."

"Danzo, we've talked about it many times, and Mito-sama supports Kushina's relationship with Ryuu. We can't disrupt their relationship" the Third Hokage said.

"I'm not saying to force them apart, all we have to do is get Kushina to reject it willingly." Danzo said with a smile.

Danzo is thinking of a way to get Ryuu to break up with Kushina, and the best way is to get Kushina to reject Ryuu herself. To make Kushina part from Ryuu herself, they must rebrand Ryuu's ideal image in her mind, and the best way is to spread bad rumors about Ryuu in Konoha.

"Whatchu mean? Danzo," asked the Third Hokage, feeling that Danzo would say something she did not like.

But the one who answered the question was not Danzo but Homura.

"It means to break the relationship between ryuu and Kushina, we have to make Kushina hate ryuu," Homura said.

"I also agree with Danzo's idea" Homura said.

"Why do you want to do this?" The Third Hokage asked angrily, not believing that his comrades who fought together in the First Ninja War would do such a shameful thing.

"We did this for Konoha," Danzo replied, feeling relieved that Homura and Koharu were by her side now.

"Kushina and Ryuu are also part of Konoha, you hurt them and then say for Konoha's sake" Hiruzen grew angrier the more he spoke to Danzo.

"If you care so much about them, let's choose someone else to be a jinchriki, I have someone at the root with great vitality, suitable to be a jinchriki." Danzo's real goal is to get the kyuubi under his control.

"No, no matter what person you bring, their vitality cannot be compared to someone from the Uzumaki clan." The Third Hokage sensed Danz's desire to obtain the kyuubi, so he immediately rejected it.

“So you mean if I can find someone from the Uzumaki clan, we can make him jinchuriki?” If the Third Hokage agrees, Danzou will immediately send Root for research.

"Klan Uzumaki was recently destroyed and even if there were survivors, they would be hard to find in the current chaos among the ninja villages."

When the Third Hokage said this, he felt saddened by the fate of their allies who had been annihilated by the ninja village, and he felt regret for not being able to help them.

"Even if you find someone from the Uzumaki clan, you can't make him a jinchriki, for the reason Kushina was chosen as a jinchriki is a special chakra that he has that is compatible with kyuubi." The Third Hokage erased Danzo from the dream of controlling the kyuubi.

"And even if you find someone with Kushina qualifications to become a jinchuriki kyuubi, you must get approval from Mito-sama," the Third Hokage added, to get Danzo to get the idea to control the kyuubi from his hands.

'If you want to say no, say it from the beginning' Out of anger, Danzo's left eye turns red.

"So you mean the Uchiha clan can take the jinchuriki Kyuubi?" Danzo.

"Uchiha is part of Konoha, so even if you take the Uchiha jinchriki, it's okay."

"I don't want to talk any more than this so the meeting will end here, so you can leave," the Third Hokage said as he began to feel dizzy from Danzo.

'Hirozen, you don't deserve to be Hokage, so I will definitely take this position from you in the future,' Danzo thought as he walked out of the meeting room.

When Danzo, Homura, and Koharu came out of the hall, they heard the Third Hokage's voice from behind them.

"If I hear rumors about Ryuu or Kushina, don't expect to stay in your position."
