Not to mention that Iwagakure showed an aggressive attitude this time, and it was still so powerful. In less than a day, Northern Fortress defeated Sunagakure. This is certainly related to Sunagakure's own carelessness and weakness, but it is also enough to illustrate the current strength of Iwagakure.
Especially the leader—Uchiha Shōji!
Purple gold Susanoo!
Two hits can easily destroy the defensive barrier controlled by Sunagakure!
As Danzo, who had a direct confrontation with Shōji, he still remembers the pain of breaking his arm that day. Although he already highly underestimated Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, he really didn't expect that Mangekyō Sharingan could be so strong!
This guy is barely 16 years old!
For this reason alone, Danzo felt that it was necessary to kill these threats as soon as possible. Before, he was still worried about insufficient combat power. Even if Konoha could gain a certain advantage head-on with the power of a village, it would be difficult to defeat Iwagakure, let alone inflict serious damage. But now Iwagakure is taking the initiative to attack Sunagakure. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Danzo Don't allow such an opportunity to be missed!
The eyes that stared intently at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was frowning and thinking in front of him, and his one arm clenched the wooden stick in his palm even harder, and the slightly protruding veins were enough to prove the slightly ferocious inner emotions of this Root master.
It must be said that Danzo is indeed stupid in many cases, but sometimes there is no big problem with his judgment and vision. For example, in the current matter, the most reasonable judgment is indeed Danzo's approach. I agree. Sunagakure asked for help, and then tried his best to unite with Kumogakure to attack Iwagakure. With the cooperation of the three villages, there is a high probability of severely damaging Iwagakure!
He even forced that Third Tsuchikage to sign some treaties and passively agree with certain facts!
There is definitely nothing wrong with the idea, but many times, the plan will never be executed so smoothly!
Let's not mention external factors here. Currently, internally, the other three people in Konoha F4 obviously hold different views.
"Interference is definitely necessary. Iwagakure's current power is indeed a bit beyond the limit, but how to intervene must be carefully considered."
When Danzo finished speaking, Mitokado Homura, who was sitting next to him, also straightened his body slightly, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and said in a deep voice. The first half of these words made Danzo happy at first, and the latter sentence made Danzo's face darken.
On the contrary, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement.
"Well, I think so too. With Iwagakure's current power, we do need to be more cautious in our methods!"
Utatane Koharu still squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.
Eternal conservatism is a belief that is carried out deep in the bones of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. The same is true for Sarutobi Hiruzen. This is why it is obvious that Konoha F4 is the closest comrade-in-arms, but Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu have always supported Sarutobi Hiruzen, not Shimura Danzō!
The main reason must be that Sarutobi Hiruzen is the legitimate heir of Hokage recognized by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and he was the strongest person in their group at that time. Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu have no problem choosing to follow Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But it is also because the three people have similar ideas and even tend to be consistent.
Danzo is the one who doesn't fit in.
If the ideas of Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi are reversed, even if Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu will still be because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's Hokage identity, most people will choose to side with Hiruzen Sarutobi, but they will never say that everything follows and refute Danzo again and again.
This in itself is the result of too much conceptual deviation.
"Yan! Koharu, don't you understand!? How far have Iwagakure and Uchiha joined forces to expand!? Today is just Sunagakure. If we don't take action, the next one will be us Konoha!? With Ōnoki That old guy's ambition, and Uchiha Clan's hatred for us Konoha, do you think they will take action against us once their strength grows further!? And Uchiha Shōji's hatred for killing Torifu and many of his companions, as well as the words he said before leaving?"
Danzo looked at Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu on the opposite side with an extremely forbidding expression and said.
Ordinary ninjas may be frightened by Danzo's cold aura and terrifying expression, but Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu have been Danzo's companions for many years. They were also Quasi-Kage-level powerhouses at their peak. This suppressed aura will not affect them at all.
The two of them still looked indifferent and calm.
Facing the gloomy expression of Danzo.
Before Mitokado Homura, who was waiting aside, could say anything.
"Danzo, you are too excited. Yan did not say not to take action, nor did he not see the threat from Iwagakure and Uchiha. He just said to pay attention to the methods and methods. As you said In other words, after joining forces with the Uchiha Clan, Iwagakure has expanded to the point where even we Konoha cannot easily suppress it, but it is precisely because of this that we need to be more cautious!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the main seat, finally put down his pipe, crossed his hands on the table, and said with a solemn look.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you!"
It was a familiar old routine, and it was almost exactly the same. Danzo simply felt like he was stuck with three stupid B teammates. He was once again filled with anger, and his whole expression became more and more cold.
The game between the four top bosses.
Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi in the lower position are all watching, but at this moment they are keeping their eyes looking at their nose and their nose looking at their mouth with their heads slightly lowered. Being a subordinate also has the duty of being a subordinate. When is it your turn to speak, you must grasp this proportion.
And regarding the issues discussed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō and others.
Shikaku can almost expect that Lord Hokage of his family will definitely ask him the next second, because this is the reason why he came here.
Sure enough.
It was almost when F4 finished speaking.
"Shikaku, what do you think about this matter?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze shifted to Shikaku below and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Third. Generally speaking, I agree with the opinions of the three elders. Iwagakure's behavior must be interfered with. As for the method of intervention, I think it needs to be looked at in stages. Especially for us Konoha, what method to adopt must be fully understood and mastered by the situation!"
Shikaku took two steps forward slightly and said with a very calm look.
"When necessary, of course we need to take unconventional coercive measures, but that is the last resort after all. We cannot do it until it is necessary!"
