Danzo scoffed, "What do you know? If Akatsuki were just all talk, they wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble. But they have the ability to stop a war."
"The Akatsuki provides a service where, when a war between two sides cannot be resolved through negotiation, they will assist the weaker side, causing the stronger side to back down."
"Therefore, the Akatsuki organization became famous in the ninja world, and many small countries asked them to act as mediators."
"If the Akatsuki continues to develop in this way, it will win the trust of most of the smaller villages..."
"From now on, ninjas will believe that only the Akatsuki can bring peace to the ninja world."
"At that time, we will need Akatsuki's permission to start a war."
"Our Konoha clearly has the ability to unify the ninja world, so why should we sit idly by and watch the Akatsuki grow stronger and pose a threat to us?"
The meaning is clear: Xiao's threat!
Chapter 106 Kawasaki's Guidance! Explosive Tags! Naruto! Sasuke! Itachi!
Despite his flawed and illogical arguments, Danzo spoke with such conviction that everyone in the office was speechless.
Regardless of the fact that the ideals of the Xiao organization are only the ideals of a small group of people, and that they will not be widely recognized, there are very few who will actually agree with them.
Such an organization, driven purely by ideals, is destined to be short-lived.
Danzo clearly wanted to nip any potential threat in the bud.
Jiraiya was furious. According to Danzo, anyone in the entire ninja world who could be defeated should be eliminated.
The third generation's expression also darkened, and he was about to speak.
"boom!"
"Boom!".
The huge explosion and booming sound interrupted the third generation.
The Third Hokage looked out the window and saw a huge change happening at the Hokage Rock – his own statue.
It looks like it's been bombed!?
The blood and qi surged upwards in the third generation, causing a wave of dizziness and vertigo.
He saw that everyone in the room was still looking at him.
The Third Generation pointed at Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, go and see what happened. I'll wait for you to come back here."
Jiraiya had been standing at the door the whole time.
The exact location of the explosion was still unclear when they heard the Third Hokage give this order.
He called a member of the secret service to stand at the door, and then jumped out of the window.
Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Danzo.
Jumping out of the window, Jiraiya realized that the explosion had occurred at the Hokage Rock.
From this angle, half of the stone face of the Third Hokage's statue has fallen off.
No wonder the third generation almost fainted from anger.
Jiraiya looked at the destroyed Hokage Rock, and his first thought was, "This was Konan's doing."
With such a commotion, many people on the street were already looking in that direction.
Jiraiya could only use the Body Flicker Technique to speed up and get there.
Not long after, Jiraiya arrived at the scene.
Many members of the Hyuga clan have gathered here; they are part of the security force.
When something happens, people will naturally come to check.
Moreover, Jiraiya saw someone here whom he extremely did not want to see—
Uchiha Kawasaki.

Kawasaki stood beneath the collapsed Hokage Rock, looking up.
Jiraiya approached and discovered that the Hokage Rock was severely damaged, with a large hole blown into the Third Hokage's nostril.
The Hokage Rock was built with the concern that it would be too heavy and fall off, so its interior is actually hollow.
Now, the area around the nose is damaged, and the right side of the face has completely collapsed.
You can see that the structure inside is empty.
The Hyuga clan has set up a cordon below to prevent falling rocks from injuring people.
No one else is allowed to approach.
The moment Jiraiya saw Kawasaki, he thought to himself: This can't be good! "Kawasaki! What happened? How did the Hokage Rock get messed up like this?"
Kawasaki casually picked at his ear: "Keep your voice down, I can hear you."
"I just arrived too. Why don't you ask the Hyuga family members who are on duty over there?"
Jiraiya casually pointed and asked, "You, what's your name? What happened here?"
The Hyuga clansman being referred to smiled and said, "Lord Jiraiya, I am Hayato. Don't you remember me? I used to hand you out flyers."
Jiraiya then recognized him as the young man who used to hand out flyers to him all over the streets!
No wonder he was standing next to Kawasaki!
Jiraiya snorted, "So it's you! Alright then, Hayato, who's on patrol here? What happened?"
......
Yongren shrugged: "This isn't a busy area, there's basically no one here, so there are fewer patrols. I just happened to be passing by and came because I heard the commotion."
"As soon as I arrived, I saw a person with a pair of white wings flying past here, but I don't know anything else."
wing!?
There's no doubt it's Xiao Nan!
"Captain Yuuto! We've got a lead!"
The Hyuga clan member who went to check jumped down.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"This was found on the Hokage Rock. In addition, it has been confirmed that it was detonated using an explosive tag."
Before Yuuto could even touch the note, Jiraiya snatched it away.
On the note, Xiao Nan's neat handwriting read: "This is just the beginning."
Kawasaki then leaned over and asked, "Just the beginning?"
"Oh dear, Jiraiya-sama, it seems that Konoha has been tricked."
His tone was sarcastic and unpleasant.
Jiraiya felt a surge of anger rising within him, thinking to himself, "This guy is actually here."
He immediately yelled at Kawasaki, "Kawasaki! Was it you who gave Minami this terrible idea?!"
Kawasaki feigned confusion: "What are you saying, Jiraiya-sama? I don't understand."
Jiraiya grabbed Kawasaki's clothes and whispered in his ear.
"The Hokage and I have just captured Danzo. Quickly contact Konan and tell her not to act rashly..."
Kawasaki's eyes darted around, and he pressed down on Jiraiya's hand.
"Hey, I think this Hokage Rock is pretty old. How about this, we Uchiha will donate ten million to renovate the Third Hokage Rock."
Kawasaki leaned closer to Jiraiya's ear and said, "Don't worry, Jiraiya-sama, I'll talk to Konan."
"As soon as the Third Hokage throws Danzo into the dungeon, I will immediately send over the money to repair the Hokage Rock."
"Alright! Kawasaki! It really was you!"
Jiraiya was furious.
This guy is always coming up with weird ideas.
Kawasaki quickly chimed in, "Oh, I think the Hokage Rock doesn't really need repairing, so how about a donation..."
Jiraiya was stunned...
He snorted heavily, then turned and left.
He just noticed that there was no one around at the Hokage Rock, so blowing it up would only cost a little money.
No one was hurt at all.
