PS: Thanks to Mr. Papaya King for the 5,000-coin reward. I had something to do today. I went out early in the morning and have been busy until now. I just got home just now, so the update is late. I hope Haihan can explain.
This can also be said to be the most fatal of Shimura Danzō's many shortcomings, that is, he always has a deep prejudice against the Uchiha Clan. No matter what it is, if it were someone else, as long as it does not threaten his own interests, this Shadow of Konoha can still treat it calmly.
But only Uchiha Clan, especially Shōji, who cut off one of his arms, Shimura Danzō would never be able to deal with it with a normal heart.
Oh, it is worth mentioning that Danzo's left arm that was destroyed by Shōji four years ago has been re-transplanted. For Medical Ninjutsu in this world, this is not a strange thing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu were not surprised at all. However, what they did not know was that Orochimaru was still the same as in Original Work. has a very deep connection with Danzo. The arm transplanted in this life is almost the same as that in Original Work. At most, there are certain deficiencies and gaps in some 'materials'.
That's right! It's Sharingan!
After all, there is no tragedy in this life where Uchiha Clan was destroyed. Danzo cannot obtain as many Three-Tomoe Sharingan as Original Work. In the past thirty or forty years, there are only a dozen pairs of Sharingan that can be obtained, and Three-Tomoe is very rare!
But this still does not prevent Danzo from doing the same behavior. How could Shimura Danzō, who is infinitely eager for the power of Sharingan and Wood Release, let go of any opportunity to reach the top of Shinobi World!?
And on this point, it is obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not clear!
At this moment, I just saw Danzo's furious expression and heard those fierce words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also frowned subconsciously, showing a look of helplessness.
What do you mean, if someone doesn't change their image, they will declare war?
This kind of interference in the internal affairs of other countries is the most important issue when the leader of a country changes. If they Konoha really issued such a declaration, they would definitely be looked at with strange eyes by Shinobi World countries, and they would definitely be ridiculed in private.
Is it really just that you can't speak without thinking?
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, and there were some thoughts that he couldn't help but think in his heart.
But it was only for a moment.
After all, it's not like Sarutobi Hiruzen can't understand Danzo's mood at the moment. Does Uchiha Clan become one of Five Kage?
To put it bluntly, this kind of development is indeed beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's own imagination!
There is even a hint of resentment towards that Third Tsuchikage deep down in my heart. No matter how you look at it, it should be that son of your family who will inherit the name of Tsuchikage, right? How could a person who had only joined Ninja Village for about four years become Tsuchikage!?
The moment he learned the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that Third Tsuchikage was crazy. If it were him who made the decision, he would definitely let his son inherit the name of 'Shadow'!
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually envies Ōnoki. After all, his eldest son died of illness prematurely, and his second son Asuma's talents are very limited. Even though he is only a teenager now, Sarutobi Hiruzen can see that his son can at best become a Jōnin who is not weak in strength.
It is almost impossible to go further.
When the most important thing is lack of strength, it is naturally impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to push Asuma to the top. That is not helping him, but harming him, and it will also affect Sarutobi Clan!
Of course, these are the thoughts deep in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart. He is so deep that he will not reveal even a trace of them on the surface.
"Okay, Danzo, please calm down first. This is not something that can be decided easily. Yan and Koharu will be here soon. Let's discuss it together!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the aggressive Danzo in the front position, waved his hand gently and said.
Shikaku and Inoichi on both sides are trying to minimize their presence. Anyway, the core point is that as long as Lord Hokage doesn't ask questions, they will never take the initiative to say anything!
This is also a wise way to protect yourself!
Not to mention that this time the situation involves Uchiha Clan and his own elder Danzo!
That's why you should try to remain silent when you shouldn't speak!
"Hmph!"
Hear the words of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Danzo also snorted coldly, then leaned on his wooden stick and sat on the sofa on the left. Not long after, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who were specially sent to call by Sarutobi Hiruzen, arrived at the same time. Originally, the moment Sarutobi Hiruzen received the news, he sent someone to notify the three of them!
It's just that Danzo has Root under his command to collect intelligence, and he received this news almost at the same time as Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then, before Anbu dispatched by Hiruzen Sarutobi came over to notify him, he himself had already rushed over as quickly as possible!
The four people gathered.
This is another Konoha High Command meeting.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu learned about the relevant content in advance on the way here. Just like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, they also found it very incredible that Shōji succeeded Iwagakure Fourth Tsuchikage!
How could such a person, who was only 20 years old and had joined the Ninja Village less than four years ago, become the shadow of a village!?
Is there really nothing wrong with that Third Tsuchikage's brain??
No one stands up to oppose Iwagakure!?
"This is what happened. Five Kage Summit has been rejected, and news has come back from the border. Kumogakure and Iwagakure have each mobilized nearly ten thousand troops. Fourth Raikage, and, well, that one Lord Fourth Tsuchikage Uchiha Shōji also led their own guards to the border where the two countries meet, and Sunagakure is also stupid there! Ready to move, in the area close to the previous Sunagakure Northern Fortress, intelligence showed that there were also a large number of Sunagakure Ninja gathering. In addition, Kirigakure also took action. Although not like the previous three ninja villages, Kirigakure also mobilized a full force of three to four thousand troops this time to further suppress the northeastern coastal area and approach Land of Lightning's southern archipelago."
"It can be said that Fourth Shinobi World War is right in front of us. Although it seems that it has not affected our Konoha yet, it is likely to happen sooner or later. I want to hear your opinions on what kind of judgment we should make in this war!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen placed his hands on the table with his hands crossed, looking at the three close friends with a very deep look and said this.
"Hmph, what's there to think about! I still have the same opinion. Iwagakure actually dares to let Uchiha Shōji take over. That is Chi Guoguo provoking us Konoha. This is absolutely intolerable. Didn't that Fourth Raikage send someone to contact us before!? I think we can just talk to Kumogakure about this. has reached an agreement, and Sunagakure is already eager to take back Northern Fortress. As long as we can get Three-Village Alliance together, we can definitely crush and defeat Iwagakure. Then we can take advantage of the situation and force Uchiha Shōji Shimono!"
Almost as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, before Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu could speak, Danzo snorted first., said in the coldest tone, in his opinion, allowing Uchiha Clan people to become Tsuchikage Iwagakure can already be labeled as evil! Such a ninja village must be attacked in groups!
Either this Ninja Village will be completely damaged, or Iwagakure will take the initiative to replace him with Tsuchikage! This is what Shimura Danzō is thinking at the moment.
Heard such words again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen I don't even know what to say.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu in the opposite position frowned slightly, showing a hint of speechlessness.
"Okay, if that's the case, don't say it anymore, Danzo, this is Iwagakure's internal affairs, and we can't interfere!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said in a very serious tone.
If Konoha really used such a reason to declare war on Iwagakure, they would definitely be laughed out of their minds. It would be better to use the collision two years ago as the reason for starting the war, or even start the war directly without saying anything!
Anyway, a melee between Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Aren't they all such a template?
But for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he is still unwilling to start a war easily. As he is getting older, he just wants to let his ninja village live a more stable life, but now Shinobi World is in this situation.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can settle down.
"I think we should wait and see for a while. There are still too many things missing from the previous information. We have no way of knowing what the mysterious monster is and what level of power Uchiha Shōji has achieved now. If we start a war rashly, the situation will not be so favorable to us!"
Utatane Koharu opened his eyes and said slowly.
"Well, I have the same opinion. Don't forget that Kirigakure is here. We have suffered the same loss once in Third Shinobi World War. What is the difference between Iwagakure and Kirigakure? We haven't really determined what kind of relationship it is. If Kirigakure were to attack Kirigakure from behind while declaring war on Iwagakure, the situation would be very unfavorable for us Konoha!"
Mitokado Homura, who was sitting side by side with Utatane Koharu, also nodded and said.
Do you hate Uchiha Clan? That's for sure!
Hostile or not to Iwagakure? That's for sure!
You really have to start from your heart.
If you rely purely on emotion to make a judgment.
Mitokado Homura is naturally inclined to go to war against Iwagakure. Not to mention, the time two years ago when Uchiha Shōji led the Iwagakure Ninja army to invade their Land of Fire territory was a great shame and hatred!
But they cannot make judgments so emotionally.
Especially when it comes to the military confrontation between Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Don't talk about Iwagakure being besieged by two major ninja villages now. The advantage lies in my words. Have they Konoha been besieged a few times before? The final result!?
They are just unwilling to say anything on the surface, but in fact they are very afraid of Iwagakure's current strength. Iwagakure joined by the Uchiha Clan can be treated as the previous strength of their Konoha!
Uchiha Clan is precisely because it is so strong!
Only then will he be feared by Sarutobi Hiruzen and others!
Otherwise, what qualifications does a weak Ninja Clan have to make these Konoha High Command disgusted, fearful and hostile!?
Especially Uchiha Shōji!
Over the years, including the strength shown in that battle when Uchiha Clan broke away from Konoha!
All of them reminded them of Uchiha Madara!
On this basis, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu naturally felt that their Ninja Village should act more cautiously.
What's more, what happens if you win? Even if Uchiha Shōji Shimono is forced, the most they can do is feel a little more comfortable, and there is no benefit. For Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, For Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is enough to hold on to one-third of an acre of their Land of Fire land. What they own is the richest and most fertile land in the world, and they are in the most prosperous country!
When there is no unification Shinobi World at all, or if you don't think you can unify Shinobi World!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu are naturally not interested in any foreign war. Three times Shinobi World War and Konoha are always on the defensive side and have never taken the initiative to attack any ninja village. This is the best proof!
They just feel that their own products are already the best, so there is no need to invade other countries or ninja villages. The things they rob are not as good as their own, so why bother!?
On the contrary, it is a good thing to sit and watch these ninja villages fight each other and weaken each other!
Because the war between them can make their strength continue to weaken, then it will be impossible to covet them Land of Fire, and they will not have the power to threaten them Konoha!
Isn't this a great joy!?
Sarutobi Hiruzen also has the same view.
"Well, indeed this is the most prudent approach. Let's wait and see first!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said.
"You guys!"
Only Shimura Danzō absolutely disagrees with this concept. In Original Work, it has been very straightforwardly shown that Shimura Danzō is a true hawk to the outside world!
He has always hoped that his ninja village will always stand on the top of Shinobi World. Ninja villages in all countries must obey the will of Konoha. This is the most correct development. Even this Shadow of Konoha may not have the desire to let Konoha dominate Shinobi World!
However, it is a pity that he is not Hokage of Konoha.
Among the top four giants!
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu have almost always been on the side of Sarutobi Hiruzen. It is obvious that this high-level meeting is destined to break up unhappy again!
Of course, this 'unhappiness' is just Danzo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu are happy to see other ninja villages fighting and fighting each other.
At this moment, Shikaku standing in the left rear position of Third Hokage can more or less understand Danzo's plan. This is indeed a very good opportunity to suppress Iwagakure, or even severely damage Iwagakure.
Considering the previous hatred between the Uchiha Clan and their Konoha, and now that Uchiha Shōji has become Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, and The collision in the earliest time, there is no doubt that if there is a chance in the future, that Lord Fourth Tsuchikage - Uchiha Shōji will definitely lead the Iwagakure Ninja army to invade Land of Fire!
It is indeed necessary to take precautions before they happen.
But understanding is one thing, Shikaku will not easily open his mouth here to help this Shadow of Konoha!
That's not what smart people do.
"Danzo, I understand your feelings, but what the village needs now is peace and recuperation. Although this is indeed an opportunity, the better choice is to sit back and watch them conquer each other. It just so happens that we can also take this opportunity to take a closer look and collect more information to facilitate future decisions. Uchiha Clan wants to find a way to deal with it, but not now. You'd better be patient!"
You can also directly notice Danzo's extremely dissatisfied mood.
Sarutobi Hiruzen followed the usual routine to comfort his close friend.
After seeing that the three of them had reached an agreement and Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately made corresponding arrangements, Danzo could only vent his anger with a cold snort, then slammed the door and left again.
Watching Danzo leave.
Sarutobi Hiruzen just shook his head slightly.
Afterwards, we continued to discuss with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu about strengthening border security and dispatching additional investigators. For Danzo, Third Hokage was not worried, although Root returned to the hands of Shadow of Konoha, but after experiencing the previous series of events, although Sarutobi Hiruzen still trusted Danzo, he also did some precautions and restrictions.
Root If it is a small-scale operation.
It is true that Sarutobi Hiruzen may not know, and even if he knows, he may not restrict it. However, if he wants to dispatch a large number of personnel, unlike in the past, he had to know after the fact. Now he can know Root as soon as the personnel are dispatched.
This can also largely prevent Danzo from mobilizing enough power to do something unexpected like last time.
It is precisely because of such a first-hand arrangement.
Only then could Sarutobi Hiruzen vaguely detect that Danzo was actually in contact with his once most proud disciple who had defected - Orochimaru!
And there seems to be a larger and mysterious organization behind it.
Consider the importance of this piece of information.
And that 'I don't know why Danzo has done many extraordinary things, including sending people to assassinate him, Hokage's best friend, but I still feel that Danzo is the person I should trust the most'!
Sarutobi Hiruzen just didn't expose this layer of window paper. He just felt that his close friend must be using these people for Konoha's interests.
This Third Hokage is really a confident type in this aspect, but what he never expected was that Danzo's heart was completely dark to an exaggerated level that he could not predict!
However, the situation in this life is very different from that in Original Work.
Whether Danzo's frivolous operations will really bring disaster to Konoha, it's hard to tell at the moment. We still have to wait and see the subsequent development before we can truly determine.
And Danzo left that room Hokage's Office with a gloomy look, returning to his own Root Base moment.
A member of Root suddenly appeared and handed over a scroll.
Look at a special mark on the scroll.
Danzo first narrowed his eyes slightly, and then Hand Seals with one hand, followed by a flash of green light, and the sealed scroll was unfolded.
When you see the content recorded inside.
Danzo's single exposed pupil also showed a faint gloomy color, just after thinking about it for a while.
This Shadow of Konoha left his secret base again and headed towards the easternmost corner of the village.
And he went there alone!
Wait until Danzo arrives at its destination.
It was almost dusk, and the atmosphere was slightly darkened, with the dark shadows stretched out on the surface.
The cold wind blowing in made the surrounding scenery even more bleak.
"Hmph, since we're all here, why don't you show up yet!? Orochimaru!"
Danzo looked at the shadow of a big tree on the left and said with a cold snort.
"Haha, Danzo you are still so impatient."
In the next second, a slender and thin figure wearing Akatsuki Fire Cloud robe appeared from that side, and the familiar hoarse words also sounded at this moment.
"I don't have that much free time to waste. Is the information you said in the scroll true!? Especially the eyes of Uchiha Shōji, are they the same as the former Uchiha Madara!?"
Danzo still had an extremely gloomy expression, looking at Orochimaru in the opposite position, and said coldly.
"If it wasn't true, how could I come back to Konoha at this time? This is what Uchiha Obito said personally. After fusing two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, the ultimate Dōjutsu Power was obtained. Isn't the previous battle the best proof? Although the current Uchiha Shōji may not really be able to match them. The Ancestor Madara of the clan, but his eyes are truly at the same level as Uchiha Madara, and remember that he is only 20 years old now, and it is very likely that he will reach the level of that Uchiha Madara in the future. By that time, there will be no second First Hokage in this world that can stop him!"
Orochimaru said meaningfully.
And it was also at the moment when Orochimaru's words fell.
Danzo's expression is also becoming increasingly colder and dangerous to the naked eye.
"It's ridiculous. Just relying on Uchiha Obito's words, you want me to believe that Uchiha Shōji can compare to that Uchiha Madara who can rival Master First!? Orochimaru, do you think I am easy to fool!?"
But only after a second.
Danzo said this with a touch of disdain.
"Believe it or not, that is of course your freedom. However, since you have decided to come here, isn't it already a statement of attitude?"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and those words were also spoken lightly.
Danzo's face couldn't help but froze, and a very dangerous cold light came out of the single exposed pupil.
"Tell me, what's your purpose for coming here today? Orochimaru, and what's the plan of that Uchiha Obito!? You can't just come here and tell me this information for no reason, right!?"
