As for Orochimaru, Payne didn't assign him any specific tasks, finding the specific location of the Nine-Tails and cooperating with Payne's actions is almost what Orochimaru should do.

"Now that Orochimaru is ready, let's start doing it too. Nagato withdrew his gaze, looked at Konoha condescendingly, and said solemnly.

……

A mountain stream more than ten kilometers southwest of Konoha.

Hidden in the support of hundreds of "root" elites, the Shimura group sat on a damp boulder in a mountain stream.

As the breeze blows and the birds return to the forest, Shimura Danzou lifts his white-bandaged face and looks at the cloudy sky with a serious face.

"Tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night here. Shimura narrowed his eyes and said secretly in his heart.

In the deployment of Shimura Danzo, at nine o'clock this evening, more than fifty dark elites will raid the Uchiha clan's station, cooperate with Uchiha Itachi, and carry out a massacre of the Uchiha clan.

However, unlike in the original Hokage, in reality, the Hokage who reigned at the time of the Uchiha clan's rebellion was the fourth generation of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, not the scheming third generation Hokage in the original Hokage.

This created a headache for Shimura Danzou and the other two elders, that is, whether to inform Bo Feng Shuimen of the plan to "wipe out" the Uchiha clan.

In principle, as the supreme ruler of the village, Bo Feng Shui Men is qualified to know and intervene in this action. But those who are familiar with Bo Feng Shui Gate know that according to Bo Feng Shui Gate's gentle character, Bo Feng Shui Gate will definitely not agree to the plan of the three elders to eliminate the Uchiha clan.

(In the original Hokage, the reason why Shimura Danzou was able to openly cooperate with Uchiha Itachi to "slaughter" the Uchiha clan is inseparable from the secret permission of the three generations of Hokage.) Just like the theory of the three generations of Hokage "Leaf and Root", the three generations of Hokage themselves also want to eliminate the Uchiha clan, but in order to take care of their identity and reputation, this kind of unsightly thing can only be handed over to Shimura Danzo, who is already familiar with doing this kind of thing)

However, whether it is peaceful and friendly negotiations with the Uchiha clan or lifting the ban on the Uchiha clan, the effect is not as good as "purging" the Uchiha clan. Therefore, whether it is the "Eagle" Shimura Danzou or the "dove" Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, they all chose bloody and violent methods without exception.

Therefore, in order to avoid the conflict between the three elders and the Hokage, the three elders finally decided to carry out the massacre of the Uchiha clan in the secret of the Bo Feng Shuimen.

In this way, the problem arises. Bo Feng Shui Gate is not a fool, and it has not been completely set up, how can it not be noticed by Bo Feng Shui Men when carrying out the clean-up task?

Shimura Danzou and the other two elders came up with different plans.

Shimura Danzo's plan is to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and attack the west.

Seven or eight years ago, due to the revelation of Shimura Danzou and Orochimaru's conspiracy to conduct experiments, Shimura Danzou was deprived of his power as an elder for a period of time. However, with the death of the three generations of Hokage in the "Nine-Tails Attack on the Village" incident, Shimura Danzo gradually reinstated himself with the cooperation of the other two elders.

Even so, Shimura Tunzang, who has a stain and a criminal record, has still become the focus of Bo Feng Shuimen and the two elders to be wary of, so in order to prevent the conflict between himself and Bo Feng Shuimen from expanding, this time, Shimura Tuanzang will not participate on the surface.

(Even if Bo Feng Shuimen knew about this operation after the mission, on the surface, the execution of this operation was only the shadow ninjas controlled by the other two elders, and Shimura Danzo and the "root" department would not be implicated)

However, in order to plunder the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, Shimura Danzou will not give up this excellent opportunity.

In the case of this contradiction between reality and ideals, Shimura Danzo thought of the method of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" and "attacking the west with a voice".

That is, one day before the purge of the Uchiha clan, Shimura Danzo led his subordinates to leave Konoha for some reason, creating the illusion that when the Uchiha clan was cleared, Shimura Danzou and the elite of the "root" tribe were not in Konoha and had no conditions to participate in this incident.

Secretly, the Shimura Danzo Society quietly returned to the Uchiha clan's station on the night of the purge, and with the cooperation of fifty "root" elites, they seized the Uchiha clan's writing wheel.

When the matter was exposed, and the two elders were questioned and condemned by Bo Feng Shuimen (the "truth" that the general public learned was that Uchiha Itachi had slaughtered the entire clan, but as the Hokage, Bo Feng Shuimen would definitely learn that the initiators of this incident were the two elders of Konoha as soon as possible), Shimura Danzou would swagger back to Konoha and pretend to be innocent.

The plan of the other two elders can be described as "repairing the plank road openly and crossing Chen Cang secretly".

In order to complete this arduous task quietly (to avoid civilians or low-level ninjas from knowing the truth, and to avoid Bo Feng Shuimen from discovering the action at the first time and rushing to the scene to stop the operation), the action of eliminating the Uchiha clan will definitely not be carried out by Uchiha Itachi alone.

It can be seen from this that in this operation, the secret cooperation of the dark ninjas is also very important. In order to prevent the execution of the action from being discovered by the Bo Feng Shui Gate, the two elders used their power to transfer the subordinates and eyeliners of the Bo Feng Shui Gate next to the Uchiha clan's residence, and during the execution of the operation, they used the matter of the meeting to drag the Bo Feng Shui Gate in the large conference room of the Hokage Building.

In addition, in order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, the two elders secretly deployed more than 100 of their cronies near the Hokage Building, and once someone wanted to enter the Hokage Building and report to the Uchiha clan station, these cronies would forcibly withhold this information, so that the Bo Feng Shuimen was really in a situation where it was temporarily emptied.

As for why the plan of the two elders is described as "repairing the plank road openly and crossing Chen Cang secretly", the reason is that the attitude of the two elders on the surface is very different from the actual action.

Ostensibly, as two quasi-"doves", Mito Menyan and Koharu are in favor of peaceful dialogue to resolve the crisis of the Uchiha rebellion. (As the Hokage, it is impossible for the Ha Feng Mizumon not to know that the Uchiha clan wants to rebel.) What Bo Feng Shuimen didn't know was just the massacre of the Uchiha clan taken by the Konoha higher-ups)

Ironically, the theme of the meeting on the night of the operation was how to have a peaceful dialogue with the Uchiha clan.

Secretly, the two elders will send more than a hundred of their trusted ninjas to sneak into the Uchiha clan and carry out a massacre against the Uchiha clan. (The mission of these 100 Shadow Ninjas is to slaughter members of the Uchiha clan, and the mission of Shimura Danzo and the "Root" Ninja is to capture the Sharingan)
