But what could he do? He could only smile and nod. "That's right. Hokage Torifu is correct. Since we've already stepped down, we should make way for the younger generation. We're all old now."
Shimura Danzō delivered the line with a straight face, nearly making Torifu burst out laughing.
Make way for the younger generation? He actually had the nerve to say that. If anything happened to a young person, Shimura Danzō would probably drag him down in an instant and take the Hokage seat for himself.
Honestly, it was hard to find someone as utterly two-faced as him.
"How about this? I'll go ask the Hokage in a little while. If he agrees, I'll find some inventions that could help you and send them your way. You can research them or put them to use—it's up to you."
At those words, Shimura Danzō perked up at once. "Really?"
Torifu nodded. "Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
He really would give them some inventions, but what he gave them was another matter.
Amado had tinkered with quite a few little gadgets over the years, but some weren't very useful, and some were completely useless.
Packing them up and sending them to Shimura Danzō would also clear out some junk from the laboratory. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Even if Shimura Danzō really managed to figure something out from them, Torifu wasn't worried.
After all, he had already decided to support Otherworld Konoha. There was nothing wrong with helping them develop a little.
"Then I really can't thank you enough. Our village's technology is far behind yours. If your inventions really prove useful, I'll be sure to thank you properly, Hokage Torifu."
Torifu waved a hand and said it was nothing.
But he thought, *Don't worry.
