"Then I thank you." Mito's eyes flickered slightly.
"It depends on whether Danzo has researched Edo Tensei. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about Hiruzen going to the front line this time."
"Hiruzen's strength is far superior to Danzo's, but there's one thing he can't compare to Danzo. That is, he is not as ruthless as Danzo. Hiruzen will still treat Danzo as a comrade, but Danzo has always regarded Hiruzen as a rival. When the time comes, it's not impossible for Danzo to ambush Hiruzen."
As she spoke, Mito's eyes deepened.
"Then do you think I should remind Hokage-sama about this?" Kazuki lowered his head and asked.
Mito couldn't see Kazuki's expression. Mito was truly old and cunning.
Kazuki also didn't want to disappoint Mito, it was just that there were some things he wasn't willing to do.
"Heh heh, you underestimate Hiruzen too much. He'll just suffer some losses at most." Mito let out a light chuckle.
"Danzo can no longer threaten you, and letting him leave Konoha is temporarily beneficial to you as well. A ninja who dares to attack the Hokage, do you think Konoha will still tolerate him then?"
Kazuki pursed his lips. In the future, Danzo dared to attack Hiruzen, and wasn't he still living well?
He could even plan the Uchiha Clan's demise.
In fact, at the end of the day, it was because Hiruzen's courage was getting smaller and smaller in the future, and his forces were constantly being weakened, making him dare not act rashly at all.
Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about these problems. He was ultimately different from Hiruzen.
"Moreover, once Danzo defects, he might be sought out by some people, and you can find some people through Danzo, can't you?" Following that, Mito continued to speak.
"Madara?" Kazuki nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
"Because of me, Madara suffered no small loss. Kirigakure was under Madara's control before, and now that the Third Mizukage is gone, Kirigakure has suffered even more severe losses. Moreover, the Second Great Ninja War should also be for weakening the Ninja World, their goal has been achieved."
"Yes, the more such battles continue, the more detrimental it will be to the Ninja World in the end, but you already possess power that surpasses Madara, so you don't need to fear." Mito was no longer afraid of Madara.
With Kazuki, Madara couldn't pose any threat to Konoha. She was only worried about the dark forces hidden in the shadows. Perhaps Madara was only one of them, or even just a pawn.
Thinking of the possibility that Madara might just be a pawn, Mito shivered.
That was Madara!
"Grandma Mito, please rest assured, I will protect Konoha." Kazuki was full of confidence.
"As long as you give me time, even the Sage of Six Paths, I will surpass him."
I just fear you won't have time!
A trace of worry flashed in Mito's eyes, but there was nothing she could do now.
…
Kazuki stayed with Mito, enjoying a delicious meal with Mito and Kushina.
In the past few days, Nawaki rarely ate at home, instead staying out to perform missions. It wasn't that he was too strict with them, but Nawaki and Minato had some special missions that required them to execute, and besides these trustworthy people, Kazuki found it inconvenient for others to perform this mission.
Not to mention Nawaki and Minato, even Mikoto and Rinka would occasionally go out to perform missions.
Just as Kazuki finished eating and was about to return to the Hokage Office to continue working, a somewhat familiar figure blocked his path.
"Hiashi?" Kazuki looked at Hiashi with a hint of surprise.
You know, the bridge of communication between Kazuki and the Hyuga Clan was Rinka, and their relationship wasn't particularly bad. At least Kazuki was one of the few Uchiha who could receive some goodwill within the Hyuga Clan.
"Hello, Kazuki, is it convenient to chat?" Hiashi invited Kazuki.
"Sure." Kazuki scrutinized Hiashi for a long time, then nodded slightly in agreement.
He didn't mind having a good chat with Hiashi. He remembered that this person almost became his teammate at first.
If it weren't for Hiashi giving up on becoming Tsunade's disciple, it probably wouldn't have been Rinka's turn. He wondered if Hiashi regretted the current situation.
Anyway, Kazuki preferred being with Rinka. As for Hiashi, he was a bit too rigid. Who knew how uncomfortable it would be to get along with him?
Led by Hiashi, the two entered a teahouse together. Watching Hiashi meticulously brew tea, Kazuki nodded silently. Indeed, it was a good thing for him that Hiashi didn't join the Tsunade Squad back then.
Rinka was better.
Kazuki was observing Hiashi, and Hiashi was also observing Kazuki.
Hiashi's heart was filled with emotion. He had almost become Kazuki's teammate back then.
A few days ago, he had a spar with Rinka, and he was surprised to find that Rinka's strength was actually superior to his own.
Hiashi didn't believe this was because his talent was inferior to Rinka's, but rather that their opportunities were different. However, for their Main Family, strength or lack thereof wasn't important. They only needed to restrain the Branch Families below them.
Of course, Hiashi was a relatively good member of the Main Family. He was also diligently training, just not as dramatically as Rinka.
"Hokage-sama has left Konoha? Do you have any big plans recently?" Suddenly, Hiashi abruptly asked.
"That doesn't seem to be something you should be asking, does it?" Kazuki narrowed his eyes, looking at Hiashi with some amusement.
"Monitoring the Hokage's movements without permission is a great disrespect."
"I know. I just want to tell you that the Hyuga Clan is willing to fully support you in becoming Hokage, and I hope you can also provide us with some information." Hiashi nodded slightly, then spoke in a shocking manner.
