Danzo urged Hiruzen to consider the Uchiha clan's situation as soon as possible, and Hiruzen sank into contemplation.
He naturally knew what the Uchiha clan wanted, given their active participation in the war.
However, he would absolutely never allow the Uchiha clan to enter the power center of Konoha again.
Currently, the Uchiha clan is despised by almost everyone in Konoha.
Not only Danzo, who hates the Uchiha, wants to deal with them, but even he himself wants to deal with this plague.
However, the Uchiha clan's power is too great, and even as Hokage, he cannot be too aggressive in dealing with them.
Moreover, during the war, Konoha's situation is not very good, and the Uchiha clan's strength is especially important.
And what he is most worried about is after the war.
With the Uchiha clan's current active participation in the fighting, their contribution will definitely be the greatest after the war ends.
But the Uchiha clan is already the largest clan in Konoha and also controls the Konoha Police Force, so how else can they be rewarded?
Surely, he can't just give the Hokage position directly to them?
Moreover, the Uchiha clan is used to being arrogant and domineering in Konoha, and if they are given more power, Konoha will definitely fall into chaos.
The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the rest of Konoha will definitely grow larger and larger.
If this continues, the conflict will erupt and become unmanageable.
Hiruzen considered Danzo's suggestion and frowned, asking: "Danzo, do you mean to push Yasu forward to restrain the Uchiha? But can he do it?"
Danzo said coldly: "In my opinion, only him is suitable. Yasu possesses the Uchiha clan's bloodline. If we push him out, others will only see it as an internal conflict within the Uchiha clan. Besides, doesn't he have our assistance?"
Hiruzen frowned deeply as he puffed on his pipe: "Yasu is only a Jonin. We need a reason to push him out."
Danzo then said: "I think the Root's name is enough."
Hiruzen was silent for a long time, then tapped the ash from his pipe and said: "Let's focus on the war for now. These things will have to wait until after the war. Even if we want to push Yasu out to restrain the Uchiha clan, his reputation needs to be further enhanced, otherwise it won't have much effect."
Danzo's lips curled slightly, because he who knew Hiruzen very well, was very clear that he had already agreed to his suggestion.
...
Yasu arrived at the Uzumaki residence.
Coincidentally, Kushina didn't have a mission today and was at home.
Before he could even knock, Kushina opened the door and rushed towards him, launching herself at him
Seeing him again, Kushina was very happy: "Yasu, you finally came back to see me!"
Yasu rubbed her head: "Yeah, how have you been lately? Is everything going well?"
Kushina pouted and said: "Isn't it the same as always? I keep applying to go to the Land of Hot Water, but every time I get rejected. Seriously, I'm strong now, okay."
Yasu said with a smile: "Okay, there's no way they'll let you go. Besides, I'm going to the Land of Grass soon, so it's useless for you to go to the Land of Hot Water."
Kushina was surprised: "Eh? you are going to the Land of Grass?"
Yasu nodded: "Yeah, my transfer order has been issued, so after staying in Konoha for a few days, I'll be heading there."
Kushina's eyes lit up: "Staying for a few days? Does that mean you're not leaving right away?"
Every time he returned to Konoha, he would quickly meet her before leaving immediately.
So, after hearing this, she jumped up excitedly: "Yay! Then let's go out and play quickly, and tell me about the Land of Hot Water!"
Yasu took Kushina around Konoha, telling her about some interesting things that happened in the land of Hot Water.
It wasn't until the evening that he carried the tired Kushina back to the Uzumaki's residence.
After putting her on the bed in her room, he didn't leave residence, but instead actively sought out Mito Uzumaki.
Mito Uzumaki was in the living room. Hearing the knock, her somewhat hoarse voice came: "Come in, Yasu."
Yasu entered the living room and looked at Mito Uzumaki in front of him. Compared to when he saw her before, she looked even older.
Mito also looked at him and sighed: "You and Kushina have both grown up and can stand on your own now."
Then she asked: "This is the first time you've taken the initiative to see me in so many years, so what's the matter?"
Yasu said bluntly: "Lady Mito, I don't mean to offend you, but I want to ask you a question, you... how much time do you have left?"
Mito's eyes were fixed on him, her eyes full of kindness, without any change: "You actually want to ask about Kushina's time, right? At least within three years, I can hold on that much."
Yasu's eyes flickered.
Three years, which means there's still a year after Kushina Uzumaki comes of age.
But Mito shook her head and said: "Yasu, you still can't accept Kushina becoming a Jinchuriki? Living in Konoha, there are some things we can't decide. I don't have much time left, and she is the most suitable candidate to become the next Jinchuriki. This has already become a foregone conclusion."
Yasu said firmly: "It's not a foregone conclusion yet. Indeed, there are some things we can't decide, but they can be changed. I want to ask Lady Mito for a favor."
Mito said gently: "As long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you."
Yasu looked at her seriously and said: "If there is a turning point in the matter of Kushina becoming a Jinchuriki, I hope you can stand on my side!"
Mito looked at him in surprise.
Yasu has never been a person who speaks without aim.
If he could say this, indicating that he might have really found a way to prevent her from becoming a Jinchuriki.
Mito then asked: "Can you tell me what the turning point is?"
Yasu replied: "I haven't found the person yet. If I find that person and bring them back to Konoha, then the turning point will appear."
Mito frowned slightly, then asked in shock: "Is this the reason why you were suddenly transferred to the land of Grass?"
Yasu admitted: "Yes, my transfer to the land of Grass is for this matter."
Mito paid close attention to Yasu's affairs, so she quickly learned about his transfer to the land of Grass.
A turning point that could affect Kushina becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Then the person he was talking about could only be Kushina Uzumaki and her surviving clansmen.
