The Hokage Position Is Mine; In the Ninja World, Strength Reigns Supreme—Mikoto Must Train Hard

The following afternoon, the Root base was deathly quiet.

Danzo sat in a dim room, staring straight ahead as he listened to the ninja's report.

Others only knew that he was a Hokage Advisor...

Yet no one knew of the contributions
