As Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, Danzo also came back to his senses and glanced at the ward in front of him again. The memories before his coma suddenly emerged from his mind.
At the end, just when he was lamenting that someone was sad for his death, he didn't expect... to see those two hateful faces.
One can imagine how he felt at that time.
Anyway, there is something I don't know whether to say or not.
At this time.
After seeing Danzo's damn, disgusting, and extremely complicated expression, Hiruzen immediately understood what was going on. He nodded with emotion and said, "I didn't expect that Grass Ninja Leader would save us in the end!"
Although his consciousness was gradually disappearing under the sudden huge impact of Tailed Beast Ball, he could also feel the situation at that time... He was seriously injured and could not be saved simply.
One can imagine~
Although Kusagakure doesn't know what means he took to save him and Danzo, but he must have paid an unimaginable price.
Moreover...Konoha and Kusagakure were enemies at that time~
Especially in this war, from a certain aspect, Konoha united with other Three Great Ninja Villages to form Ninja Alliance and declared war on Kusagakure.
He really didn't expect that Grass Ninja Leader would spare no effort to save him and Danzo.
You must know that his identity is different from Danzo~
If Konoha loses him and Danzo, the result will be no less than that of Nine-Tails Rebellion back then!
Even worse than Nine-Tails Rebellion!
After all, after Nine-Tails Rebellion, although Fourth Hokage died, he, Third Hokage, was still there and could still take charge of the overall situation.
And if he and Danzo were sacrificed this time, Konoha would definitely fall into a serious state of emptiness. Yan and Koharu alone would not be able to control the overall situation.
At the same time, Jiraiya and the others are not in Konoha. It is estimated that it will be impossible to elect the next Hokage in the short term.
Therefore, without him and Danzo's Konoha, the result can be imagined, and it will be more beneficial to the current Kusagakure.
However.
But the leader of Kusagakure saved them.
Although he had doubted Kusagakure's purpose, and maybe Kusagakure wanted to capture him, Hokage, to threaten Konoha, but no matter what... he was the same as Danzo!
Don't underestimate the magnanimity of Hokage and Hokage's Assistant!
Once there is a real threat to Konoha, he will definitely choose to sacrifice himself without hesitation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shimura Danzō with a solemn face and said, "No matter what Kusagakure's purpose is, although in a certain respect, Kusagakure did save us, but we cannot let Grass Ninja use us to threaten Konoha!"
"I know!" After hearing Hiruzen's words, Danzo also sighed, nodded, looked at Hiruzen seriously, and said, "Don't underestimate me... Darkness of Ninjutsu!"
Although various accidents have happened in the past few years, he is still him!
Konoha Darkness of Ninjutsu!
What a pity~
This time, there was another traitor among them.
Who would have thought that... the guy sent by Orochimaru is also a TN guy named Grass Ninja?
This Shinobi World.
How many Grass Ninja are there~
Sure enough, none of them are credible!
only.
"I don't know what the situation is now?"
Although it was doomed that this war would be defeated, what the final outcome would be... He and Hiruzen didn't know yet.
I don't know what the losses of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure are?
Also, Three Kage... was he captured like him and Hiruzen?
And what about Konoha's troops who are hidden in the rear and preparing to retreat?
The words just fell.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was lying on the hospital bed next to him, sighed again. He also knew what Danzo meant... If there was enough information, he and Danzo could also analyze how to do it in their favor now.
And Konoha...
Konoha, who lost him and Danzo, must be in a mess now~
Especially Konoha... I don't know how heavy Konoha's losses were this time.
What a pity~
Now that he and Danzo are prisoners, how easy is it to obtain information?
"No matter what... no matter what Kusagakure's purpose is, we can't let them succeed!" Hiruzen Sarutobi still said seriously, then lowered his head and looked at his body.
Although he was rescued in this accident, he was old after all. Coupled with his old body and the suffering he had suffered over the past few years, his body was no longer as good as before.
"Let me use this broken body to do something for Konoha~!"
The original aura of being sick and disabled was instantly wiped away, and his whole body exuded the aura of Third Hokage.
"Wherever Konoha flies, fire will continue to grow. Kakkō will continue to illuminate the village and let new leaves sprout."
As Hokage, he told Will of Fire, then raised his head and stared at Danzo, and fell silent for a moment.
"If you have a chance, you should find a way to escape from here~, take my Will of Fire back to the village, and protect Konoha with Yan and Koharu. As for the next Hokage... I hope you can find Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru. We are getting old after all. Only they can bear the burden of Konoha now. If they refuse..."
He let out a long sigh.
"Konoha is left to you! Danzo~"
The words fell.
"?!"
He seemed to be shocked by Hiruzen's sudden and sincere words.
Danzo was slightly startled, looking at Hiruzen with clear eyes in front of him.
There was such a moment...
He seemed to have returned to the time when they trained together.
Simple.
Quiet.
Peaceful!
There are no worries and thoughts about growing up now.
Some only have deep friendship with each other.
This is his best friend...Hiruzen Sarutobi~
Just like when I was rushed away by Tailed Beast Ball, before I died... I only had regrets and pity left in my heart.
Didn't feel lonely!
Because his best friend is also with him.
At this moment... Danzo seemed to understand something. Just like at that time, he put down his obsession before dying and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously, "Konoha can't live without you! Hiruzen!"
"Danzo You..."
"Listen to me!"
However.
Danzo waved his hand, interrupting Hiruzen's words, stood up from the ward tremblingly, put his hands behind his back, and stared ahead with muddy eyes, as if... looking in the direction of Konoha.
He said calmly, "I have been captured by Kusagakure many times, and I have already experienced this. Although I don't know why Kusagakure let me go many times, I know it in my heart..." Weiwei paused, with a decisive tone, "Then Grass Ninja Leader must have ulterior motives for me!"
Having said this, he turned his head and looked at Hiruzen seriously.
"Let me, the former Hokage's Assistant, do one more thing for Hokage. I will use myself as a condition to make a deal with Kusagakure and ask him to let you return to the village!"
"Danzo you..." Hearing Danzo's sincere words, Hiruzen was also stunned. It seemed that he did not expect that his best friend would actually say such words. His lips were trembling a little, and there were even tears from the corners of his cloudy eyes. "You are Konoha's Hokage's Assistant!"
"For Hokage, sacrifice is inevitable!"
"Grass Ninja Leader may want you to surrender to him!"
"I also have suspicions in my heart, but even if Kusagakure gets my body, I can't get my heart. I will only be Konoha's ninja. I just hope that if we meet on the battlefield in the future, you don't hold back on me!"
"Danzo! Konoha can't live without you~"
"Hiruzen! Konoha can't live without you!"
"Danzo!"
"Hiruzen!"
Both of them looked at each other with firm eyes, just looking at each other.
It's like going back to my youth again.
Each other... are each other's best friends!
But now Danzo has made a choice in his heart. In the end, he turned his head firmly, no longer looking at Hiruzen's eyes, and said lightly, "Let me do the last thing for Hokage! My best friend...Hiruzen!"
However.
"Is he thinking about eating shit?" Kusana looked at the Danzo request specially sent from Oyakamon with a confused look on his face, then raised his head and looked at Oyakamon in front of him with firm eyes, "No matter what... these two cheaters... Ahem, these two respected seniors of Konoha are both ninjas of Konoha. Don't worry, how can Leech Friend, who is Konoha, watch as their wives are separated... Ahem, their friendship is broken and they are separated in two places?"
He slammed the table hard.
"Kusagakure will definitely send them back to Konoha completely!"
The words fell.
Oyakamon:...
A look of silence.
And send people back?
So, what exactly is Leader Mang doing?
