"Well, Orochimaru will handle the Third Hokage, and I'll deal with Danzo. As for the other two advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado... well, they're just two elite Jonin. They're so old now, it's questionable whether they even have the strength of elite Jonin."
Cao Ya stroked his chin, pondering, "Without the Third Hokage and Danzo, those two old guys can't cause any trouble."
He suddenly frowned.
"Danzo has one of the Kaleidoscopes from 'Shisui'. Can I handle that thing?"
Cao Ya shook his head. None of the seven Cao Ya were proficient in illusion magic, so they were basically clueless when facing Kotoamatsukami.
"Hmm, Kotoamatsukami is a problem."
Cao Ya wasn't worried about the seal of severing the root of tongue-related troubles; once he entered the system space, it was directly wiped away.
He didn't even need to lift a finger.
Now possessing the power of Cao Ya, the seventh level of the Outer Realm of the Supreme Being, and the sixth-rank power of Cao Ya, the Supreme Martial Artist of the World, plus his own Jonin strength, he is confident that he can kill Danzo head-on without considering Kotoamatsukami.
The problem lies with Kotoamatsukami!
This thing is so buggy.
Forcibly altering the other party's will, "The Eye of Domination turns those seen by the caster into his puppets!"
"With this kind of bugged ability, Shisui was still able to be seriously injured by Danzo's sneak attack?" Cao Ya was speechless. The annihilation of the Uchiha clan was inevitable, unless a second Madara Uchiha appeared and could crush all the ninjas in Konoha.
After all, Hashirama Senju was no longer around at that time.
It's a pity that neither Uchiha Shisui nor Uchiha Itachi stood on the side of the Uchiha.
Otherwise, if Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku, all with Mangekyou Sharingan, were to try and win over powerful clans like the Hyuga, the Third Hokage and Danzo might not necessarily be able to defeat the Uchiha.
It's important to understand that, regarding the Hyuga Hizashi incident, most members of the Hyuga clan actually harbored resentment towards the Third Hokage.
Well, the main family is an exception.
"I wonder if we can use some of the secret techniques of the [Supreme Being]?" Cao Ya pondered, having some ideas on how to deal with the other gods.
At this moment, various sounds gradually came from the streets outside, and Konoha regained its vitality as the number one ninja village.
"After the Chunin Exams, should I try... to compete for the Hokage position?"
Cao Ya had this thought in his mind, and then he chuckled to himself.
That's wishful thinking!
He was a Jonin and did make many contributions to Konoha, but he was, after all, a member of Root, and most of what he did was shady.
His contributions cannot all be mentioned.
Furthermore, the various factions in Konoha could not accept a member of Danzo's Root organization becoming Hokage.
Danzo and the others wouldn't accept it!
Tsunade, or Jiraiya, would be more in their best interest.
This is also what people want.
Unless Cao Ya possesses power like Nagato!
Suppress all dissenting voices with violence!
However... reaching the level of a super shadow is not so easy.
In the current ninja world, perhaps only Nagato is a Kage-level ninja.
In terms of raw strength, Obito, Itachi, Onoki, Jiraiya, and others are definitely no match for Nagato with the Rinnegan.
Cao Ya got dressed and went out; he was going to report to the Root Headquarters.
After the Uchiha clan massacre, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, ordered the removal of Danzo Shimura from his position as "Hokage's assistant" and instructed Danzo to disband the organization "Root".
But clearly, this was just an order to fool all parties in Konoha, and also a warning from the Third Hokage to Danzo.
The third generation clearly wouldn't let go of such a white glove as the Root.
Even though the Third Hokage had his own ANBU, there were many things that the ANBU couldn't handle directly, and it still required Danzo, the "Kage of the Pot," and his Root organization to do them.
Danzo, the "Kage of the Pot," was completely outmaneuvered by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the "Hokage."
No wonder Danzo only managed to become a temporary Hokage after decades of trying.
The roots still exist, but they are no longer visible.
For example, Cao Ya was a member of Root. Before the seal of the Root of the Tongue Disaster was removed, he had to obey Danzo.
But his actual position was as a member of the secret service.
Would Hiruzen Sarutobi not know that he was Danzo's subordinate?
They simply tacitly approved of Danzo's petty actions.
Danzo has taken the blame for so much, the Third Hokage should at least give him some benefits.
Therefore, although Cao Ya appears to be a member of the Dark Guard, the Third Hokage rarely gives him orders, and Danzo generally doesn't touch him.
But Cao Ya knew that as long as he received the order, whether it came from the Third Hokage or Danzo, it would be an extremely dangerous mission.
With the Chunin Exams approaching, participating teams from various ninja villages have arrived in Konoha, putting significant pressure on public security.
Especially now that the Uchiha clan, who are in charge of the police force, have been wiped out.
The members of the secret service have heavy tasks.
"Damn it, everyone's working 996, just like capitalists!" Cao Ya complained.
After the Uchiha clan was massacred, the police force was never rebuilt. According to the timeline, the police force will not be rebuilt until Boruto.
Although Cao Ya was a Jonin with some status and position, he was certainly not as highly regarded by Danzo as Aburame Torune or Yamanaka Fu within Root.
This also has an advantage: Danzo didn't know him well enough.
Danzo believed that since he had already placed the seal of the tongue-severing Root members on them, what was there to fear?
I walked around the root base but didn't see Danzo. I don't know where he went.
In the original story, Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush plan, while Danzo remained hidden in the shadows, never showing himself.
Cao Ya left the root base.
The participating teams from each village entered Konoha. Orochimaru should not have assassinated the Fourth Kazekage yet, but has instead disguised himself as a candidate from Kusagakure and infiltrated Konoha.
He also had no intention of dealing with Orochimaru.
At least for now, there's no need.
As for what happens next... we'll see. Orochimaru's research capabilities are still top-notch.
As Cao Ya passed by the bathhouse, he glanced at it subconsciously, and his gaze immediately sharpened.
A tall man with long white hair was lying outside the women's bathhouse, lecherously peeping at the women.
"Jiraiya!"
Cao Ya was not surprised to see Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.
In the original timeline, Jiraiya had also returned to Konoha at this time.
"I wonder who would be stronger if I fought Jiraiya now?" Cao Ya suddenly felt a little itchy, having obtained the power of the seven Cao Ya, especially his [Peerless One] and [Global Martial Arts] selves.
Cao Ya's combat power has skyrocketed to the Kage level in the Naruto world.
He restrained the impulse.
Exposing our strength now would be too much of a loss.
His target, from beginning to end, should have been Danzo!
"Kotoamatsukami..."
Cao Ya frowned and walked away.
Outside the women's bathhouse, Jiraiya glanced back but didn't pay attention; he had been away from Konoha for some years.
"Hehe, young girls are too tender, mature women are too mature, these young women are the best! Their figures... oh oh." Jiraiya felt he couldn't take it anymore, and touched his nose, which was a little wet.
He's a seasoned veteran driver!
The young woman's power... is indeed extraordinary!
Ichiraku Ramen.
"Boss, one large bowl of tonkotsu ramen."
Cao Yalai was having breakfast when he saw several familiar figures.
Kakashi, Might Guy, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Tenten, Rock Lee, Neji.
Both Class 7 and Class Kai are present.
