Chapter 56: Itachi, Back Then You and Uchiha Akira...
Is Uchiha Akira a genius? There's no doubt about it in the entire ninja world!
He's only seven years old, yet he has already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan! A solid Jonin-level power!
But no matter how talented he is, he's still just a seven-year-old child.
In the Uchiha clan, there are at least dozens of ninjas with the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Danzo's main focus has always been on Clan Leader Fugaku, the elders, and powerful figures like Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.
However, ever since that time when he tried to ambush Shisui, only to be thwarted by Uchiha Akira and Uchiha Itachi, and even driven off by them, Danzo has found it hard to accept.
As the head of the Root organization, Danzo considered himself second only to the Hokage in Konoha, a man above all others!
To think he would be attacked within Konoha itself? It was humiliating!
Moreover, something didn't add up.
The ambush on Shisui was meticulously planned, so much so that not even Shisui knew it was coming.
Why, then, did Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Akira appear at just the right moment? It defied logic!
Recently, while dealing with the potential Uchiha uprising, Danzo couldn't shake this lingering doubt.
Just yesterday, as usual, Danzo handed over a photo of someone other than Kabuto, claiming it was him, to Nonō Yakushi.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind-what about Kabuto?
He recalled that during the Chunin Exams in the Hidden Cloud Village, Kabuto was on the same team as Uchiha Akira.
And together, they managed to fend off Orochimaru's attack?
Curious, Danzo sought out Kabuto to inquire about Uchiha Akira.
Naturally, in front of Danzo, Kabuto didn't hide anything and revealed what Uchiha Akira had told him-his ability to foresee danger.
Uchiha Akira had predicted Orochimaru's attack the day before it happened!
Because of this, they were able to prepare in advance, and though Might Guy was severely injured, they managed to repel the attack!
Learning about Uchiha Akira's ability to predict the future, Danzo couldn't sit still.
So, he sought out the Third Hokage to discuss this matter.
The ability to foresee danger-this was a huge variable that Konoha had to consider when dealing with the Uchiha clan!
The Third Hokage's expression grew serious upon hearing Danzo's report that Uchiha Akira might possess some form of precognition.
The ability to foresee events was indeed a significant variable!
Especially with the Uchiha clan on the verge of launching a coup, this power could throw everything into disarray!
So how should they deal with this ability?
Danzo and the Third Hokage deliberated at length, eventually forming a rough plan.
"Hiruzen, that's enough!" Danzo, however, had a major disagreement with the Third Hokage and vehemently opposed his decision.
"Before, you wanted to use Uchiha Shisui to prevent the Uchiha from starting a coup."
"And now, you want to use Uchiha Itachi to deal with Uchiha Akira?"
"Are you relying too much on the Uchiha's power?"
Danzo truly couldn't understand why Hiruzen was so keen on using Uchiha members against each other. Was he not afraid it would backfire?
"This is my decision, and I believe Uchiha Itachi knows what he's doing!" The Third Hokage looked at Danzo, his tone firm.
As Hokage, he had the authority to make decisions on his own.
Danzo could offer advice, but whether or not the Third Hokage listened was entirely up to him!
After exchanging a few more heated words, Danzo left the Hokage's office in a huff.
Meanwhile, the Third Hokage summoned Uchiha Itachi.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Uchiha Itachi appeared before the Third Hokage, kneeling on one knee.
"Itachi, on behalf of Konoha, I want to apologize to you."
The Third Hokage wore his usual kind expression, resembling a gentle, caring elder.
Uchiha Itachi looked at the Third Hokage with some confusion, not entirely sure what this sudden apology was about.
"It's about Shisui. I never expected Danzo would..." The Third Hokage began, explaining the conversation he had with Shisui and how Danzo had secretly attacked Shisui.
He assured Itachi that once the Uchiha situation was resolved, he would properly punish Danzo and give the Uchiha clan a fair explanation.
This speech left Itachi deeply moved.
"By the way, I heard that when Shisui was ambushed, you and Uchiha Akira came to his rescue.
Was that a coincidence?" The Third Hokage asked casually at the end.
