Danzo leaned back, expression cold. "So what if Mito suspects us? She suspected us when the Senju elites were slaughtered, didn't she? But when the truth became an 'unfortunate reality,' she had no choice but to accept it."
The Third Generation frowned. "You're saying we should ambush her? And the Uchiha?"
Danzo's voice was low. "If we let them succeed again, their influence will rise beyond our control. The Senju will revive, and the Uchiha—especially with that brat Ren Takashi—will be untouchable."
Even Hiruzen felt the danger. "No ambush. Not with Mito present. If she loses control... we'll be the ones buried."
Danzo clicked his tongue but didn't argue. They both knew she was still a monster in battle.
An Anbu agent burst in.
