Conference Hall, Hokage Building, Konohagakure
The hall was filled with silence, only the breathing sounds of the people attending the meeting could be heard, and everyone had a serious expression on their faces.
In the main seat, Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down and looked at everyone with a tired expression. He let out a weak sigh and said, "I hope everyone has carefully read the summary of the information laid out on the table ... now let's talk about everyone's opinion on the matter."
Jiraiya put the papers in her hands on the table and said with a serious expression, “Very clearly, until now, we have all been played with by Danzo. I won't say anything in connection with the rumored problem on his body, however, the wound he sustained on Kakashi's hand, was definitely intentional to make us think that he was vulnerable and weak!”
Tsunade agreed with Jiraiya, “According to the information sent by Raikage upon meeting Danzo, there were no signs of the wound on her body, which obviously meant it was healed, even Raikage said that the problem in his soul was also just his action! Based on this, we can conclude that Danzo just wants us to think that there is a problem with his soul and body. And the next important thing was the sudden rumors about his whereabouts in two different locations.his whereabouts were leaked a few days after the alleged 'injury' he had suffered. No doubt, his existence was also leaked by him. The goal is likely to be to lure someone using his vulnerable state as bait. ”
Everyone present in the meeting nodded.
Too many rumors were circulating about Danzo until just a few days ago, which one was right and which one was wrong, it was very difficult to determine, he said, so no one could judge whether there was indeed a problem in his soul or not. But now that they had gathered all the information they had about Danzo, it could be clearly determined that Danzo was trying to lure someone.
The only problem is, they don't have enough information to accurately determine who Danzo wants to lure.
Although they could make some guesses, however, without solid evidence, everything was useless.
At this moment, Patriarch Uchiha also placed the paper on the table and said, "There is no information on how he obtained a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, we should determine that as well!"
Hearing Fugaku's hesitation, Shisui subconsciously glanced at Kuroto with a questioning gaze, asking if 'Kuroto knows something about this matter.'
Sensing Shisui's gaze, and understanding her intentions, Kuroto shook her head lightly, replied, 'no' and gestured to remain calm.
Despite being well aware of the origin of the Mangekyou Sharingan Danzo, Kuroto had no intention of telling anyone about it, as it meant explaining the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual and Kuroto did not want to do that.
Moreover, Danzo's threat had been resolved by him, so naturally, there was no need for anyone to figure out why and how Danzo obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha.
While the others nodded at Fugaku's hesitation, Patriarch Hyuga asked, "Do we know where Danzo is hiding?"
Commandant Jonin Konoha, Nara Shikaku replied, “Although, we do not know where exactly he is hiding, however, based on the information he received from Kirigakure, we do not know where exactly he is hiding, after a failed attempt to control Mizukage Yagura-sama, Danzo immediately escaped from the Fatherland and disappeared somewhere in the desert of the Land of Wind. Kazekage Pakura-sama has deployed Sunagakure shinobi and they are looking for the exact location.”
Elder Koharu muttered, “Did he hide in the desert of the Land of Wind?” and sighed, “Honey once.. I never imagined one of us would end up in such a sad situation.”.
No one paid attention to Elder Koharu's words because there was no one here who sympathized with Danzo.
Hiashi questioned, "Why did Danzo escape Kirigakure so decisively?"
Nara Shikaku replied, “Based on what Kirigakure told us, there seem to be two reasons why she escaped, first because she looks exhausted and out of chakra due to some continuous fighting, which is why she is running away, and the second reason is he seems to be running away from someone.”
No one doubted Nara Shikaku's words, as it seemed to make a lot of sense.
Fugaku asked, "And do we know from whom Danzo escaped?"
To this everyone shook their heads, and Nara Shikaku replied, "No, we're not sure, the information is too little." And added, "But given Danzo's strength, it must be someone who's very strong."
Sandaime Hokage took the words of Nara Patriarch and continued, “Even the five Kages do not have enough power that would make Danzo escape so decisively. If I had to guess, it could be Akatsuki or Amatsukami. The likelihood of Akatsuki being quite high considering that members of the Akatsuki Organization also seem to be looking for him.”
Hearing Sandaime's explanation, everyone nodded, “Nonsense.” Because only Akatsuki and Amatsukami seem to have enough power to make Danzo feel threatened.
At this time, the captain of the intelligence division, Yamanaka Inoichi said, “Kumogakure hopes to use the upcoming conference to unify the five Kages and launch a decisive siege to eliminate Danzo as his presence is a threat to the peace of the entire Shinobi World.
Jiraiya sighed, "I never expected that one day would come when the Raikage was so actively seeking help, it seemed like Danzo was really putting too much pressure on him."
Tsunade expressed her thoughts, "Honestly I don't see any problems in the Raikage proposal, however, given the recent actions of the Akatsuki Organization... Isn't that too risky?"
Sandaime nodded, "That's also what I'm worried about."
A few days ago, Iwagakure was suddenly attacked by the Akatsuki Organization, based on the information Konoha could gather about this attack, he said, all they knew was that Sandaime Tsuchikage was severely injured and barely managed to escape, his whereabouts currently unknown. Onoki Kitsuchi's son was killed in the attack, while Jinchuriki of four and five was captured by the Akatsuki Organization, and eventually, the, more than half of the Shinobi in the village at the time were either dead or seriously injured.
Overall, it was a disaster for Iwagakure.
When Konoha received news of Akatsuki's attack on Iwagakure, it was like a sudden bolt of lightning, and everyone in Konoha was shocked.
It should be known that although Iwagakure did not have as many Kage-ranked individuals as Konoha, their strength was still excellent, especially the overall military power, Iwagakure had the most number of shinobi from any village.
However such Iwagakure suffered greatly in the face of the attacks of the Akatsuki Organization.
Now the Akatsuki Organization has managed to capture the three-tailed beast, and they also have part of the three-tailed and Eight-Tailed chakra they acquired during the Konoha Collapse plan.
Although no one understood Akatsuki's purpose clearly, everyone instinctively felt that they could not let the Akatsuki Organization succeed, but once again, everyone felt that they could not let the Akatsuki Organization succeed, it seems that no one has any confidence that they can do anything against Akatsuki.
Just imagine, Iwagakure suffered greatly from the attack of the Akatsuki Organization, a few months ago, Kumogakure suffered from the rampage of Shimura Danzo, before Konoha suffered from the Fall of the Konoha Plan of the Akatsuki Organization, and previously Kirigakure suffered due to the civil war initiated by the Akatsuki Organization.
The only village that had not suffered any attacks was Sunagakure, but their Kazekage had previously died at the hands of Akatsuki and now they were completely lacking the shinobi of the Kage rank. Except for the current Kazekage Pakura, it seemed that no one possessed such strength.
While everyone was silent, Hiashi suddenly asked, “Isn't Akatsuki long dormant? Why did they suddenly become active? First, they target Danzo, then they suddenly change their target and suddenly attack Iwagakure.
Kakashi nodded, and told everyone, "The reason Akatsuki is targeting Iwagakure, may be related to Dojin."
"Dojin?!" someone muttered, and asked, "Who is Dojin ?!"
