“Too much!”

"Patriarch, we can't agree to this!"

"Yes! You must not agree to it."

The young ninja with two streaks of paint on his face spoke excitedly to a young woman sitting in the hall.

"No need to talk about the wind!"

"We know we can't agree to it, but the one who asked was Danzo, and we are not Uchiha, so how can we refuse his request?" said a slightly older man.

The young ninja said, "I know that, but Danzo went too far this time. He asked us for twenty jonin right away."

"And they directly asked for the clan leader's son and daughter."

The young woman sitting in the hall was none other than Inuzuka Tsumugi, the patriarch of the Inuzuka clan. She was also the mother of Inuzuka Kiba, one of the future Twelve Ninja Warriors of Konoha.

"What do you think?" Inuzuka Tsume asked the others.

Others also didn't know how to deal with this matter for a while.

Danzo's request was really excessive, and it was completely intended to undermine the Inuzuka family's roots. However, if Danzo's request was not met, the Inuzuka family would immediately be targeted.

"I originally thought I was just watching a farce between the Hokage and the Uchiha, but I didn't expect that the fire would burn us in the end." said an older ninja.

Inuzuka Tsuma sighed and said, "Let's end this here for now!"

"Danzo has suffered heavy losses at the Root this time, so he will definitely not just come to our Inuzuka family. People from other families will definitely come as well."

"I'll go talk to Zhiwei and see what his attitude is."

After saying that, she stood up, jumped out in a few steps, rode on the back of a big dog, and rushed out of the tribe.

It would be really painful for Danzo to ask the Inuzuka family for 20 jonin at once.

Training the ninjas of the Inuzuka family is very resource-intensive, because not only do the ninjas of the Inuzuka family need resources themselves, but the ninja dogs they raise also need resources.

After a battle, if one of the dog and the person dies, they are basically destroyed.

and,

All major ninja clans are extremely resistant to entering the Root.

1. Because after entering the root, you are just an illegal resident in the village, without a name, identity, or honor...

2. The root's confidentiality measures are extremely powerful.

Set the [Seal: Eliminate Tongue Trouble] on their tongues to prevent them from telling anyone the secrets of Danzo.

Moreover, under Danzo's special brainwashing training method, the ninjas who entered the Root were completely lost to the family.

The most important thing is...

Danzo is very destructive.

The major families originally had geniuses with the qualifications to become Kage-level, but they were quickly trained by Danzo to become Jonin by forcing them to grow, and then sent to carry out various dangerous missions. It can be said that Danzo treated the future of the village as consumables.

This time, Danzo came to the Inuzuka family not only to find an ordinary jonin, but also her son and daughter.

This time, Inuzuka Tsume was completely unable to sit still.

When Inuzuka Tsumugi was halfway there, she immediately stopped because she saw Aburame Shiwei, who was wearing sunglasses, also rushing towards her.

"you……"

Aburame Shimi put her hands in her pockets, "Danzo asked me for Shino."

The two fell silent for a moment.

Roots!

It is very secretive among the common people, but it is not a secret at all among the great ninja clans, because 90% of the Root people come from them.

The Root recruited all kinds of talented ninjas in Konoha Village, but not the Uchiha and Hyuga clans. As long as the Uchiha clan had their own police department, they didn't need to go to other agencies. Besides, the Root was targeting the Uchiha clan, so how could they recruit Uchiha clan members?
The reason why no one from the Hyuga family is accepted is entirely due to the Hyuga family’s special family rules.

The main branch of the Hyuga family is responsible for inheritance, while the branch branch is responsible for protecting the main branch.

Therefore, there are no more than 5 people in each generation of the main family, and everyone in the branch family has [Seal: Bird in a Cage] on their forehead.

It is impossible to take the roots of the main family, and they dare not take the people from the branch family.

"Do you think we should agree to this?" Inuzuka Tsuma said with a bitter look on his face.

The Inuzuka family is said to be a big family in Konoha, but it is completely at the bottom of the list. If it hadn't always clung to the thigh of Aburame, life would have become even more difficult.

Aburame Shiwei said: "Danzo will definitely ask other families for people. Let's go back to the family and wait. Someone should come to us to form an alliance."

How strong the Aburame family is depends entirely on intelligence.

If they have enough intelligence, they can kill super shadow level ninjas like killing dogs. If they have insufficient intelligence, ordinary jonins have a chance to defeat them.

"Okay!" Inuzuka Tsume nodded and was about to return to his family.

"Wait!" Aburame Shiwei called out to Inuzuka Tsumugi.

Inuzuka Tsume wondered, "What's wrong?"

The dog beside her also growled at this time, and Inuzuka Tsumugi frowned.

She followed Aburame Shiwei's gaze and immediately spotted three figures heading towards them.

"you……"

"you……"

The people who came were the patriarchs of the three tribes of Pig, Deer and Butterfly. The five of them laughed dryly.

Nara Shikaku said, "We won't beat around the bush. What are your plans?"

Aburame Shiwei was silent.

Inuzuka Tale deadpanned, "Danzo asked me for fang and flower."

Nara Shikaku said, "Danzo also asked me for Shikamaru."

Yamanaka Hiichi said: "Ino and Choji are also needed."

They looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's thoughts and determination. If handing over a few members of the clan could save the family, they would make some choices, but if they were asked to hand over their children, that would be a big problem.

Their second daughter is the next human head of the family. When they thought of Uchiha Itachi, their hearts were suddenly trembling.

"Everyone says that you, Shikaku, have many ideas. What do you have?" Inuzuka Tsume asked.

After confirming that they were all on the same boat, Lu Jiu didn't waste any more words.

"Convene a jonin meeting and propose the election of the fifth generation."

They all understood that it was Danzo who came, but Danzo's power came from the Third Generation.

"The election of the Fifth Hokage may not be easy." Inuzuka Tsumugi frowned.

It has been so many years since the fourth generation died, but the election for the fifth generation has never been started. Everyone can understand what the third generation was thinking.

"It doesn't matter whether the Fifth Hokage can show up or not. What's important is to divert Danzo's attention," Shikaku said.

Inuzuka Tsumugi glanced at Aburame Shiwei, but saw the dark sunglasses, which made it impossible for him to make eye contact, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

The chief of the great ninja clan was also aware of Danzo's obsession with the position of Hokage.

"As expected, you are worthy of being the number one think tank in Konoha. You are trying to stir up internal conflicts among them..." Inuzuka Tsume sighed.

The Sandaime wanted to smoothly transfer the position of Hokage to Asuma Sarutobi, but Danzo Shimura wanted to wear the Hokage's hat on his own head.

As long as the Fifth Generation Election begins, no matter what the result is, the Third Generation and Danzo will no longer be two sides of the same coin. (End of this chapter)
