============================

After closing the door, Homura Mitokado was startled to find a figure behind it. It was the Akira Senju he had encountered on the battlefield more than half a month ago.

At the sight of Senju Akira, Homura Mitokado felt an immediate chill from his feet to the top of his head. His first instinct was to run; Senju Akira, who defeated the fourth generation of Raikage and the third generation of Tsuchikage, was not an opponent he could handle alone. The only chance they had was to mobilize all of Konoha's power and confront him.

His thoughts abruptly changed, and Homura Mitokado wanted to escape using any means possible. However, he suddenly froze when he noticed the eyes under Akira Senju's mask shining with a light red fluorescence. Three Tomoes appeared around the pupils.

"Sharingan?!" Homura Mitokado exclaimed, his whole body shocked. His pupils dilated rapidly, a confused expression crossed his face, and then returned to normal. Strangely, he no longer felt panicked. Instead, he turned and walked towards his house.

Uchiha Natsu had consumed a significant amount of ocular power, controlling Homura Mitokado with an illusion, and then he sneaked into the ground again. Employing the same strategy, he arrived at Koharu Utatane's house. Hiding behind the door once more, he used illusion techniques to control her thoughts. Continuously manipulating the minds of two people, especially two consultants close to the Hokage, even Uchiha Natsu's current ocular power found it challenging.

Feeling his eyes getting sour, Uchiha Natsu raised his hand and rubbed it, and the Sharingan gradually faded away. He then found the direction of the roots and sneaked past underground.

Meanwhile, Danzo, leaning on crutches, slowly returned to the root station. Covering the distance between the roots and Hokage Tower took more than ten minutes. In the dark corridors, many root members observed him, but none came out to disturb him.

Danzo returned to his bedroom with ease, and a root member reported the situation of the root halfway. As Danzo made arrangements, everything had been settled by the time they reached the bedroom door.

A master of time management, Danzo pushed the door in and closed it with his backhand. Turning around, he found a person standing in the middle of the room. As soon as Danzo attempted to retract his hand from the doorknob, he discovered it had been "trapped" by some wooden strips. Panic set in as he desperately twisted the doorknob, trying to escape the room.

"Crack..." The horror struck him when he realized the door handle was wrapped in wooden strips and immovable. A drop of cold sweat ran across his forehead. Trembling, Danzo turned around, and his nervous heart began beating faster.

Uchiha Natsu, looking at Danzo with cold eyes, had wrapped the entire room in wooden strips while he was talking. He said lightly, "I'm here to ask you to cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Danzo glanced at the wooden bars around him, wondering what kind of cooperation this entailed.

"I came to help you carry out a coup d'etat," Uchiha Natsu said in Senju Akira's deep and hoarse voice.

Danzo's pupils shrank, and the cold sweat on his forehead worsened. He responded with evasive eyes, "You, what are you talking about? How could I want a coup d'etat."

Uchiha Natsu raised an eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth under the mask rose slightly. Seating himself on a nearby chair, he spoke in a flat voice, "I will assist you in the coup, and then I will make you Hokage."

"Having me as Hokage... does it benefit you in any way?"

At the mention of the word Hokage, Danzo's heart skipped a beat. Aware that there was no free lunch in the world, he knew there must be some purpose behind Akira Senju's proposal.

Uchiha Natsu chuckled lightly and said, "In contrast, I want Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, and you will be Hokage on the surface, but you must obey my requests in secret."

With clear terms laid out, Uchiha Natsu made it apparent that while Danzo would be Hokage, he would essentially be a puppet Hokage. Despite this, Danzo couldn't hide his excitement.

"This is something I must agree to," Danzo thought to himself. "If I don't, whether Akira Senju kills me or not is another matter, but I will cooperate. Dealing with a strong man like Sarutobi Hiruzen is not easy, and the strong are all his prey. He will not let me survive."

Therefore, Akira Senju had to find someone relatively weak, who could be controlled without posing a threat. Moreover, this person must have the potential to become Hokage, convincing others.

Considering Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, Danzo knew he wasn't the only eligible candidate. He couldn't afford to hesitate; someone else might seize this opportunity.

Without delay, Danzo replied, "I agree to your request and will cooperate with you."

"However, Lord Senju, there is a challenging problem now, and that is the Uchiha clan. If we initiate a coup, their power will pose significant obstacles."

Danzo said hesitantly, "They have three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, and they will undoubtedly help Hiruzen Sarutobi fight against us."

Uchiha Natsu sneered inwardly; Danzo seemed to forget that someone else had once said something similar, but when it was Danzo's turn, the tables turned, and he found himself surrounded by three generations.

This, however, aligned with Uchiha Natsu's intentions.

So, he responded, "I have communicated with those two consultants in advance. At tomorrow's meeting, propose the imprisonment of the entire Uchiha family."

"Claim that the Uchiha clan frequently kills villagers, and the police force often enforces the law violently. In short, it will be easy for you to find a reason."

"Even with three pairs of Mangekyou, as long as I kill Hiru Sarutobi first and only Uchiha is left, they pose no threat."

Uchiha Natsu's voice exuded confidence, treating the situation as if it were an ordinary matter.

Excitement filled Danzo as he saw the position of Hokage within reach. His heart beat wildly, realizing that his wish, a deformed obsession for many years, was about to come true with the support of Akira Senju.

Uchiha Natsu, observing Danzo's expression, coldly hummed in his heart. The position of Hokage was just a big prize for Danzo; let him be the first pawn. If he wished to be Hokage, he could only fantasize in his heart.
