Danzo-sama

"-The Jinchuriki has been kicked out along with the failure."

"You can leave now."

Danzo read through the file of Shiori, again.

Shiori, Age 3, parents: Tou and Kaa(Civilians), birth records: normal delivery on 9th October, purple hair, purple eyes, potential: genin at best

Extremely cooperative and fairly intelligent for a 3 year old. Has shown interest in becoming a shinobi and has been training by herself in the orphanage.

Danzo coldly looked at the photo, and then started focusing on his main target, Itachi and Shisui.

But still, he couldn't help but think that it is a waste. He had considered her to be one of the top ROOT recruit from the orphanages. He also considered that she may be related to the Senju bloodline spread throughout the civilians, but it wasn't. She was just an ordinary civilian.

Still, Orochimaru was also a civilian.

So he had sent one of his ROOT operative to get her. But it turned out, she was extremely chakra sensitive that even the tiny amount of chakra sent into her system to check her reserves completely destroyed her tenkutsu, rendering her useless.

Well, there is the exception of Guy who can't use ninjutsu but has been competing with Kakashi, but he still has his tenkutsu intact to use the gates. She won't be able to do that too. Maybe Tsunade could have healed her, but that emotional brat had betrayed Konoha long time ago. If it weren't for that damn Hiruzen, Danzo would have already signed her off as a missing-nin.

A ninja not serving Konoha has no reason to be left alive.

Danzo suddenly felt his anger towards Uchiha clan rising. That orphanage's matron was being manipulated by genjutsu regularly, to slowly isolate the Jinchuriki.

As everyone will hate the jinchuriki, Danzo will come as a savior and make the Jinchuriki his weapon. The plans to assassinate Hiruzen was foiled, and the kid with Wood Release that he was investing in was taken away due to that brat Kakashi, who he failed to recruit in the ROOT.

So for now, he will just focus on the Uchiha Clan.

And since his plans to assassinate Hiruzen has failed, it will be difficult to manipulate the jinchuriki easily.

That's why Danzo no longer thought much about the Jinchuriki and had him thrown out of the orphanage, along with his new friend.

Because Danzo had a scheme. What if, an Uchiha kills the Jinchuriki's friend in front of him? Itachi is his plan A, but he has to make multiple plans.

And after the Kyuubi is released on the Uchiha clan that has been already driven to the outskirts of the village, Hiruzen will die fighting it, and there would be no one in his way to become the Hokage.

And he will be able to get Shisui's mangekyo by then. Controlling the Kyuubi will become easy.

But the problem is that there are no suitable vessels anymore.

Anyway, let's have the Jinchuriki get this friend. Either she will leave him due to the problems she will face because of associating with him, or she will become a convenient tool to unleash the Kyuubi against enemy villages.

Though, he will focus on his plan A for now. No need to waste Konoha's resources on another Konoha attack.

Orochimaru will take care of Hiruzen. If he has waited so much already, waiting some more years is nothing. First Uchiha, then Hiruzen.

'If only I didn't hesitate back then...'

Danzo hestitated when Tobirama-sensei tested them for being the Hokage. If he raised his hand before Hiruzen, he would have been the Hokage.

At Hiruzen's coronation as the Hokage instead of him, he had vowed to himself. He would go to any lengths. He would never hesitate in protecting Konoha!

Afterall, It's all for the greater good.
