Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to listen to his advice, and Danzo angrily slammed the door and walked out.
Seeing this, the subordinates who were waiting at the door followed silently.
After walking for a distance, when there was no one around, he whispered: "Danzo-sama, how should we arrange it?"
"That guy is too soft-hearted. He actually disagrees with my opinion." This subordinate is Danzo's confidant, so he knew Danzo's idea long ago.
The subordinate echoed: "In my heart, Danzo-sama is the real candidate who should be the Third Hokage."
Danzo scolded: "Don't say anything that is not conducive to the unity of the village, or I will punish you."
Although he said so, there was no harshness in Danzo's scolding, which shows that he still agrees with this sentence in his heart.
The subordinates nodded repeatedly, and after a while, they sighed: "The more a tree yearns for the sunlight above, the more its roots will extend to the dark underground. I really hope that the Third Hokage-sama can understand this truth."
Hearing this, Danzo stopped and chewed on these words carefully, squinting slightly, as if thinking.
The subordinate looked at Danzo who was thinking without revealing his expression, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.
At night.
In a room, the retainers who were concentrated here were sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, they were awakened by a loud noise. They opened their eyes suddenly and found a man standing at the door.
He had a bandage on his head, revealing a sharp single eye, and his expression was murderous - it was Danzo.
The retainers were panicked and shouted in a cowardly manner: "It's you!"
Danzo didn't say anything nonsense. He waved his hand and seemed to give some kind of order. With a few whooshes, several shadows rushed into the room behind him, waving the swords in their hands, harvesting lives like chopping melons and vegetables.
The screams that came one after another did not last long before they died down.
The moonlight was like water, shining through the window and falling on these people. They wore masks with animal patterns and a hint of coldness.
These people were all members of the Anbu, specializing in handling some shameful work in the village.
After they killed these retainers, they did not forget to finish them off. Danzo watched all this coldly.
After dealing with all this, one of the Anbu members reported the results.
Danzo said nothing, nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, then he briefly explained a few words, grabbed the head of one of the retainers, stepped on the window, jumped, and disappeared into the dark night.
The lights were still on in the Hokage's office.
Due to the sudden accident, Sarutobi Hiruzen had not fallen asleep even in the middle of the night, and kept walking back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
Suddenly, with a snap, the door was opened. Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped and looked in the direction of the sound
. Suddenly, something as big as a football was thrown in, and rolled into the room.
Without Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak, Danzo at the door took the lead in speaking coldly: "I have killed them all."
Danzo's presumptuous behavior aroused strong resistance from Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he rarely roared: "Danzo, do you know what you are doing."
Danzo turned a deaf ear and said unfaithfully: "I am doing this for Konoha."
"Danzo, you are confused. In this way, the misunderstanding between the village and the daimyo will never be resolved." Hiruzen persuaded
Danzo said sternly"It doesn't matter, I will do it."
"???"
"I have thought about it. I will kill all these people and then frame other countries. As for which country, don't bother . I have already found it for you. In this way, you can divert the trouble to others, and at the same time strengthen the village through plundering, and finally give an explanation. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone." Danzo said seriously.
Hiruzen asked with termor in his voice"Could it be that you..."
"Yes, for fear that you would be indecisive, I have sent people to kill that idiot. He should be dead now, and he doesn't have to go to the toilet to find shit to eat anymore. To some extent, he should thank me. Humph..."
Hiruzen asked with anger"Danzo, you should ask me for my opinion."
Danzo snorted "You are too indecisive. The village is facing internal and external troubles. If you don't make a decision, there will be trouble in the future."
"But even if you do this, aren't you afraid that the spies in the village will leak it to Prince Hades?" Hiruzen questioned
Hearing this, Danzo raised his mouth and said, "Don't worry about this step. I have already thought about it for you. I will destroy that country with lightning speed. After Prince Hades has seen the strength of Konoha, he will definitely weigh the pros and cons. Is his son more important, or is the safety of the Fire Country more important? Without our protection, the borders of the Fire Country will be meaningless. By then, it is another matter whether he can hold his position firmly. In other words, this is a kind of military deterrence."
Hiruzen didn't know what to say " Danzo..you."
"Huruzen, do you know? The taller a tree is, the deeper its roots go into the dark underground. And Konoha is now this big tree. If a tree like Konoha wants to grow tall and strong, it must have roots buried underground." Danzo said passionately
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I have already thought about it. I want to create an organization to be the root of Konoha. This organization will be buried deeper than the Anbu and specialize in things that are not easy for the village to show up."
Sarutobi Hiruzen roared: "Danzo, I am the Hokage."
"I am not asking for your opinion, I am just informing you." Danzo said coldly.
After saying that, he turned his head without looking back, his eyes like an eagle, and he was unstoppable.
Tobirama Sensei, I want to prove to you!
Compared with the indecisive Hiruzen, I, Shimura Danzo, am the one who is truly suitable to be the Hokage.
For this, I can give up everything, carry the darkness of Konoha, and become the netherworld that wraps the underground and the ground.
Watching Danzo leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and smiled bitterly. At least he had to take the head away...
Not long after Danzo left, a man entered the room. If you look closely at his face, you will find that he is Danzo's confidant.
He knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem surprised by his appearance, and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work..."
He deliberately showed weakness, and then aroused Danzo's competitive spirit, letting him take the initiative to bear the darkness of the village. All this was under Sarutobi Hiruzen's control.
Of course, he couldn't agree to this immediately, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion, so he had to be reserved just now.
After Danzo had already made a move first and reported later, and established the Root organization, he would make a helpless compromise.
Danzo's confidant chuckled in response, but he didn't leave immediately, as if waiting for something.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you will get a lot of benefits."
Danzo's confidant, with joy on his face, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were rising wildly, and said righteously: "All this is for the village, it's nothing to mention."
"That won't work, you can think differently, but as the Hokage, I have to think about your future."
This was said very beautifully, and Danzo's "confidant" was very pleased, and immediately expressed his willingness to die
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a satisfied smile, raised his chin slightly, and pointed at something with his eyes.
The subordinate understood and said, "Yes."
"After a tiring day, it's time to go home and be with my wife. I'll leave this to you." Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched and patted his shoulders.
After speaking, he left his subordinates in the office to clean up the heads and bloodstains, and he left.
Soon he walked out of the Hokage office building, looked up at the waxing moon hanging in the night, and muttered: "Danzo, don't blame me, I did this for the village..."
...
...
A few days later, in the village.
Barbecue restaurant.
Haru, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade sat around a square table with a round barbecue net in the middle for various meats and vegetables.
While eating and drinking, it is inevitable to want to chat.
Jiraiya asked curiously: "By the way, by the way, speaking of which, why haven't I seen that shameless guy recently? Did he go back to the capital?"
Tsunade looked around and whispered, "How should I put it... that guy seems to have had a little accident."
"A little accident?"
"Well, it seems that he suddenly became an idiot."
Hearing this, Haru, who was busy eating, thought of a possibility, and the barbecue hanging in his mouth suddenly lost its fragrance, and fell on the table with a smack.
