Uchiha En nodded and subconsciously accelerated. The two of them had to hurry to the Root base while they still had energy left to get everything settled.
Uchiha En and Asana advanced at full speed and soon arrived at the Root base.
At this moment, the inside of the Root base was in chaos because the Root Ninjas discovered that the Curse Mark on their tongues had actually been undone, which meant that Danzo had been killed.
Faced with this situation, the Root Ninjas, who had been directly brainwashed by Danzo, were at a loss.
Homura Mitokado, who was at the Root base, realized something was wrong immediately upon learning of this. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and ran into a laboratory in the Root base.
At the same time, Uchiha En and Asana outside directly destroyed the entrance to the Root base and barged in.
Facing the two who had suddenly broken in, the Root Ninjas, though lacking Danzo's command, still rushed up without hesitation.
Asana and Uchiha En did not hold back at all; as long as anyone dared to rush up, the two would kill them without mercy.
"Uchiha En, Asana, you actually dare to trespass? Are you trying to betray the Village?" Homura Mitokado walked out of the laboratory and questioned them with a cold face.
"I am acting under the orders of Hokage-sama to organize Danzo's remains," Uchiha En replied indifferently.
"Remains? What did you do to Danzo?"
"Don't misunderstand. Danzo sacrificed himself while fighting against the Nine-Tailed to protect the Village. We didn't do anything to him."
"You're lying! Danzo clearly went to the Uchiha Clan's compound; how could he have died at the hands of the Nine-Tailed! It must have been your Uchiha Clan! You actually dared to lay a hand on the Hokage's assistant. Indeed, Tobirama-sensei was right; your Uchiha Clan is a naturally evil clan!"
"Senju Tobirama? Heh!" Uchiha En sneered, his expression full of disdain.
"Uchiha En, what do you mean by that? Are you dissatisfied with Tobirama-sensei?"
"That's right. In my opinion, many of the policies implemented by Senju Tobirama were harmful to the Village."
"Uchiha En, you... you... how dare you!" Homura Mitokado was stunned; he hadn't expected Uchiha En to openly question the Second Hokage in front of so many people.
"Seriously! Many of the Second Hokage's policies, in my view, were a sign of inadequate ability.
Elder Homura, you should be clear that since the founding of Konoha, it has existed as a coalition of clans.
Whether each clan joined Konoha initially due to the deterrence of the Senju and Uchiha, or joined voluntarily, the First Hokage never split the various clans apart.
But after Senju Tobirama succeeded as Hokage, he began to feel that the existence of various clans might pose a threat to the Village, and he began to continuously weaken clan influence and clan consciousness.
Establishing the Anbu was to strengthen the Hokage's centralization of power, and establishing the Ninja Academy was to eliminate the gap between commoners and clan Ninjas. I'm not wrong about any of this, am I?"
Homura Mitokado immediately expressed opposition upon hearing this: "Tobirama-sensei just wanted to make the connection between the Village and the clans closer, not to weaken the power of the various clans as you say."
"Is that so? Then let me ask you, what is the duty of the Anbu?" Uchiha En pressed on.
"The Anbu's main work is to protect the Hokage, prevent foreign enemies from invading, and handle some confidential missions," Homura Mitokado replied.
"It seems Elder Homura remembers very clearly! Then you should also understand that the Anbu is a team that resolutely executes the Hokage's orders.
With the Anbu, the Hokage's orders can be effectively implemented without going through the various clans. In this way, the various clans cannot interfere with the Hokage's decisions, effectively excluding the various clans from the Village's decision-making level.
At the same time, you set up you two so-called Advisor Elders, and that bullshit Hokage's assistant, Danzo, to assist the Hokage in controlling the Village.
In this way, you could completely turn the various clans, which were considered high-level decision-makers in the Village during the First Hokage's era, into the current mid-level executors."
