--------------------------------------------------------------

The discussion in the Hokage's office, of course, ended on a sour note.

Since Naruto had already been taken away by Jiraiya, the three advisors expressing their disapproval was already too late.

Or rather, they knew Tsunade wouldn't heed their advice on this matter.

Still, they felt compelled to make the trip, as doing so would force her to compromise on other matters.

"Lady Tsunade, are you alright?"

The Hokage's secretary, Shizune, was tidying up while looking worriedly at Tsunade, who still wore a scowl.

"I'm fine," Tsunade waved her hand dismissively and stood up to walk to the window, "Those old geezers are really stubborn!"

Her tone was still irritable, "Relying on their seniority, all spoiled by that old man, Hiruzen! He really left me a mess to clean up!"

"You've worked hard, Lady Tsunade," Shizune finished tidying up and stood respectfully behind Tsunade.

Tsunade's expression softened as she gazed out at the village, "This is my duty as the Hokage."

To protect the village that her grandfather loved so dearly and to fulfill the dreams of Hashirama and Tobirama.

This was her goal when she took on the role of Hokage.

"Lady Tsunade…"

Shizune, looking at Tsunade's determined silhouette, was full of admiration.

'You will surely protect the village; you will indeed become a great Hokage, Lady Tsunade.'

Meanwhile, the three advisors were slowly walking through the corridors of the Hokage Building.

They were feeling somewhat irritated too.

"Tsunade is becoming more and more unreasonable, showing no respect for her elders," Homura Mitokado complained, "We, as the Hokage's advisors, offer our suggestions, and she must consider them seriously."

"Tsunade is not like Hiruzen after all," Koharu Utatane sighed, "We have no understanding with her."

Danzo Shimura, with his lone eye devoid of emotion, glanced at his colleagues and sneered inwardly.

These two old fools had lost the bearing of a shinobi after years of comfortable living.

Just talk and no action, worthless.

It seems that the future of the Leaf can only depend on me. Only I can save this increasingly decaying village.

Therefore, I must become the Hokage.

Unbeknownst to them, as they moved, several small paper figures suddenly appeared on the ground and quietly attached themselves to them, disappearing without a trace afterward.

At that moment, in the Naka Shrine's basement, Kaito, who had been meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

Danzo Shimura, that old bastard!

Absolutely insane!

"What's wrong?" Sensing the faint anger in Kaito, Izuna spoke up.

"It's unbelievable," Kaito said grimly, "That damn old man Danzo has transplanted eleven Sharingan into himself."

"That Danzo? Hiruzen comrade?" Izuna frowned deeply, "But how did he manage to do it?"

It's no wonder Izuna was no longer focused on being angry because the situation Kaito described was incredibly astonishing.

In his era, while the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was coveted by many, no one had ever succeeded.

Without the Uchiha's bloodline, one would be cursed by the power of the Sharingan.

This meant that even if someone managed to transplant it forcibly, they couldn't utilize its full potential.

Hearing about Kakashi Hatake from the Hatake clan successfully transplanting a Sharingan was already rare enough.

He had thought maybe it had something to do with the will of the Sharingan's original owner.

But now, what was he hearing?

Eleven Sharingan!

It was utterly inconceivable.

Kaito frowned, formed hand seals, and closed his eyes, "I need to investigate this carefully."

After a while, he opened his eyes, "His right eye is a Mangekyō Sharingan, and on his right arm, there are ten normal Sharingan. It's because he transplanted some sort of highly vitality Yang attribute special cells into his right arm, neutralizing the Yin attribute power of the Sharingan."

His expression was a mix of amusement and disbelief, "Those cells, after much thought, could only come from Hashirama Senju."

"Hahahahaha..." Izuna burst into laughter, "Hashirama, huh? He's got what he deserved! It's just too hilarious!"

It was understandable when his brother used his powers, as they were equally matched opponents.

But it was laughably absurd to be desecrated by future generations after his death.

However, as he laughed, his expression darkened again.

And he coldly said, "So, those are the spoils of war when the Uchiha clan was annihilated? Such audacity! Kid, when do you plan to act?"

"Please be patient for now, Izuna-san," Kaito bowed slightly, "I must first obtain the other items before taking action against that old man; otherwise, it would alert the enemy."

"Hmph, I'll listen to you for now," Izuna had no objections, "I'll join you when the time comes; we must make that bastard pay a sufficient price."

"However, if we want to retrieve the intact eyes, we need to prepare well," Kaito mused.

"Izanagi, huh?" Izuna caught on, then his face darkened, "Indeed troublesome."

"I have a plan," Kaito said with a steely determination, "I'll make him hand over the Sharingan willingly."

"Oh? Then I'll look forward to it," Izuna showed an eager expression.

Kaito didn't specify what actions he would take next, and they fell silent, waiting for more information and Izuna's return.

Afterward, through the investigation by the paper human familiars and Izuna, Kaito had some gains.

The ninjutsu and archives of the Uchiha and Senju clans were mostly stored in the Hokage Building's library.

Though the place was heavily guarded, instructing the paper human familiars to silently copy a set wasn't a difficult task for Kaito.

After the copying, he tampered with all parts originally belonging to the Uchiha, planning to thoroughly destroy them when leaving.

As for the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, they were ultimately found in Danzo Shimura's possession.

Kaito could only marvel at Danzo Shimura, true to his reputation; he sent out more paper human familiars to follow his movements and was astounded by his collections.

Including the Sharingan, Hashirama's cells, and various clans' ninjutsu and secret techniques, it was indeed a sight to behold.

It showed how many despicable deeds that mad old man had done in secrecy.

"Hmph! Truly fitting for a disciple taught by that trash. Just as despicable and shameless."

Izuna couldn't help but curse after hearing Kaito's story.
