Danzo sighed upon hearing this. Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was expressing his displeasure.
Danzo had no recourse for this; the deed was done, and since he had been discovered, there would certainly be consequences.
The Third Hokage sending Anbu to watch him was undoubtedly intended to further restrict his authority.
Root had already suffered significant personnel cuts by the Fourth Hokage, and with this new development, it would be difficult for Root to even move freely in the future.
However, Danzo was not anxious. He understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality; Hiruzen Sarutobi was acting against Root now because he was angry.
Once Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down in a couple of days, going over and admitting his mistake should solve the problem.
Thinking this, Danzo addressed the Root Ninja: "Put aside the tasks you have on hand for the time being, and wait for my subsequent orders!"
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
Meanwhile, at Uchiha En's house, he had just finished his textual game for the day.
After allocating points for the past half year, Uchiha En returned to his previous strategy of splitting points equally between Eye power and Chakra capacity. Uchiha En's current stats panel was as follows:
Chakra Capacity: 944
Constitution: 263
Eye power: 1101
Vitality: 445
Nature Affinity: 4
Level: lv59 (40/100)
Attribute Points: 0
Uchiha En estimated that he should reach level 60 in about another half month.
Uchiha En always looked forward to every major level increase, as the skills granted by major level ups were genuinely useful.
What Uchiha En needed most right now was to quickly improve his strength.
Since Uchiha En took control of the dove faction, the conflict between the hawk faction and the dove faction had become an issue he needed to worry about and resolve.
The highest-ranking member of the hawk faction was certainly the Great Elder Uchiha Takeshi, but the true mastermind of the hawk faction was Uchiha Chizan, who planned most of their actions.
Uchiha En had been collecting information related to Uchiha Chizan during this time, and the more he collected, the more Uchiha En felt that something was amiss.
Uchiha En discovered that Uchiha Chizan specialized in Genjutsu, was particularly fond of researching it, and was a fervent admirer of Uchiha Madara, just like Uchiha Setsuna.
Uchiha Chizan was extremely dissatisfied with the current Village. Unlike other members of the hawk faction who hoped the Uchiha Clan could rule Konoha and produce a Hokage, his desire was to lead the Uchiha Clan to leave Konoha, just like Uchiha Madara, and establish a new homeland.
In Uchiha Chizan's view, the Uchiha Clan could survive in the Ninja World even without Konoha and did not need to depend on the Village; on the contrary, the Village was constantly draining the Uchiha Clan's resources.
Especially during the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars, the Uchiha Clan suffered such heavy casualties that Uchiha Chizan suspected this was deliberate targeting by the Village against the Uchiha Clan.
This was why Uchiha Chizan was considering leaving Konoha and leading the Uchiha Clan to rebuild their homeland.
Uchiha En could understand his idea, but he did not agree with it.
The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan was the most elite Bloodline Limit in the entire Ninja World, and countless people coveted it.
If they left Konoha, other Villages and powers interested in the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan would likely rise up and attack them.
The Uchiha Clan currently possessed three pairs of Mangekyo. Facing a single Ninja Village, their high-end combat power might not be far off, but a Ninja Village doesn't just consist of Kage-level Ninja; it also includes Jonin and Elite Jonin.
The Uchiha Clan currently has fewer than 500 Ninja, and not everyone possesses the Sharingan. How could they possibly withstand so many Ninja from other Villages?
This is the Ninja World; the Ninja World operates on the law of the jungle, and might makes right.
Therefore, leaving Konoha was clearly unrealistic. Uchiha Chizan was not stupid; he couldn't possibly have failed to consider these points.
Thus, Uchiha En felt that Uchiha Chizan must have this idea either because he possessed some unknown trump card or because he already had a complete and effective plan.
