Three days after the meeting of the council, somewhere in Konoha
Danzo stood there listening the heads of some of the ninja clans of Konoha and the rest of the members of the civilian council discuss on how to get rid of the "Demon Child". Frankly what they were doing was in his interest as he would gain a jinchuriki as a member of ROOT, but he was afraid of the reaction of the new Hokage, she had shown she wasn't as passive as Hiruzen and she dealt with opponents ruthlessly, the execution of Kusumoto for high treason was a perfect example. There was only one way to do this and he would have to go out in the open in order for that to work.
"Gentleman"-said Danzo stepping out of the shadows-"I think that I may have a solution for your problem"
"Danzo, I though you were neutral in this affairs"-said a smirking Minamoto Hatsune, she was head of the Hatsune clan, a small clan which trained some of the best swordsmen's in this village and were now after the fall of Uchiha trying to gain influence.
"Let's say I have an interest in keeping you all alive"-said Danzo.
"The Hokage won't kill us, she still needs us and our money"-said Osaki Ryu, currently the third wealthiest man in Konoha.
"You fools, you think you are still dealing with Hiruzen"-said Danzo laughing-"She is the granddaughter of Tobirama Senju and she has inherited his ruthlessness from him"
"Then what do you propose we do?"-Minamoto.
"Simple we go to the only person who has more power than the Hokage"-said Danzo.
"Who... oh the Daymo, he won't listen, why should he? The Hokage's have never failed him until now"-answered Minamoto to Danzo's suggestion.
"He will if we present our case the right way"-said Danzo smirking-"we will present the boy as a danger to the village, his battle with the Uchiha and subsequent release of the Nine Tails chakra being the prime example"
"If the Hokage says he is no danger the Daymo will believe her instead of us"-said Osaki.
"He will not if the boy is a relative of hers"-said Danzo his smirk turning into a full blown smile.
"What are you talking about?"-asked Minamoto.
"The Uzumakis were allies of the Senju and the first Hokge married Mito Uzumaki and from there we all know the story but what many don't know is that Kushina Uzumaki was the niece of Mito from her sister thus making Naruto and Tsunade cousins"- explained Danzo much to the shock of everybody.
"So we have a way to banish the brat but the problem is that contacting the Daymo will require lots of time, probably years"-said Minamoto.
"True but if you have the right friends then it won't take nearly as much a month or so"-said Danzo-"however to do that we will need a lot of money which our estimate friends will be happy to give to us, right?
"Yes, we will give anything to make that monster leave so that our children may be safe"-said Nakashima Yoringa, the second wealthiest man in Konoha.
"Very well then, prepare five million ryo within the week and in less then a month we will have a decree signed from the Daymo which will legalize the brats banishment"-said Danzo and then we body-flickered away leaving the conspirators to discuss some more on this new development.
As Danzo left he couldn't help but laugh at the sheer stupidity shown by the group of conspirators, it would take only one million ryo to buy an audience with the Daymo but they unknowingly were paying for ROOT's continued existence and what's more important they would help him gain a new weapon, the greatest one out there, the Nine Tails.
