Sitting in the cell was a figure with his back to the door, his hair messy, and his right shoulder empty.
Hearing footsteps stopping at the door, the figure slowly turned around.
"Long time no see, Elder Danzo."
Naruto stood at the door of the cell, his tone was like greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Naruto Uzumaki, why are you here?"
Danzo's voice is a little hoarse.
He raised his head and looked at Naruto with his remaining left eye, and then his eyes fell on Tenzō behind Naruto, with an elusive emotion flashing in his eyes.
"A, it seems that you have lived the life you wanted in ANBU."
Tenzō's body trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to call out Mr. Danzo.
But he immediately stopped talking, forced himself to stand up straight, and his tone returned to a businesslike tone:
"Elder Danzo, you are now Konoha who is in custody and under trial."
"Besides, A is no longer here."
"My code name is Tenzō."
"Haha, really?"
Danzo let out a dry, bitter smile, and moved his eyes away from Tenzō and back to Naruto.
"Okay, Elder Danzo."
Naruto interrupted Danzo's memories, "I'm curious why you are still alive."
"Do you think what you did will keep you alive?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, my style of doing things is indeed more decisive and sharp than those of you."
"But everything I did was for Konoha."
Danzo looked directly into Naruto's eyes, and after finishing speaking, he slowly closed his left eye, as if he was not ready to continue the conversation.
Seeing this, Naruto took out a handful of Kunai from his ninja bag and threw it in through the gap in the cell railing.
Bang!!
Kunai landed on the stone floor at the feet of Danzo, making a crisp and cold sound.
Danzo suddenly opened his left eye and stared at Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki, what do you mean?"
"Danzo, don't even think about making a comeback."
"Honestly, the things you did were enough to kill you a dozen times."
"Now I give you this Kunai, and let you choose how to end it."
"If you end it yourself, you can be more dignified."
"Will I end it on my own?"
"What a joke, no one can judge me, not even you are Hokage Direct Jōnin!"
Danzo let out a cold snort from his nasal cavity.
"Haha, I'm giving you a chance."
Naruto bent down slightly, making his sight level with Danzo in the cell, and spoke very softly:
"If you refuse, everything you do will be made public when the investigation of mother-in-law Tsunade is completed."
"At that time, you will be executed with the whole village watching, your body will be hung on the execution platform for public display, and your name will be nailed to Konoha's pillar of shame forever."
"You end it yourself now, I'm helping you!"
"You don't want to be executed with the whole village watching, do you?"
"You..."
Danzo's pupils contracted violently upon hearing this.
He lowered his head and looked at Kunai, which was glowing coldly on the ground. He stretched out his left hand tremblingly and picked up Kunai on the ground.
Kunai felt the coldness in his hands, and this coolness rushed along the palm of his hand to the bottom of his heart, pulling out a certain scene that Danzo had sealed for half his life from the depths of his memory.
The scene back then was so similar to now.
At the moment when they were forced to stay behind, Second let them choose who to stay.
He hesitated for a moment, and then Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke first.
From then on, his life was suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi until the day Hiruzen Sarutobi died.
He originally thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi was dead and his time was finally coming.
As a result, another Naruto Uzumaki came out halfway.
It's also a multiple-choice question, the same as last year.
If you choose, you will die, and the outcome is already determined.
"I..."
Danzo's lips trembled, and the hand holding Kunai trembled slightly.
"Haha, Danzo, what are you hesitating about?"
"Sure enough, you are just as greedy for life and afraid of death as you were back then. You haven't changed at all."
"You are still you, still the bedbug hiding in a dark corner who never dares to stand in the sun."
Naruto's voice sounded, and his tone was full of disdain.
"Shut up!"
Danzo, who was still struggling in his memories, was shocked by Naruto's words and stood up from the ground suddenly.
The dusty images in his mind were shattered, leaving only the Kunai in front of him and the contemptuous eyes of the black-haired boy in front of him.
Danzo's teeth clenched and his face turned red due to congestion.
"No one can judge me!"
"Not even you Naruto Uzumaki!"
"God damn it!"
After saying that, Danzo held the handle of Kunai, pointed the blade at his heart, and thrust it in with all his strength.
"Poof!"
The moment Kunai pierced the heart, Danzo's body was shocked.
Blood gushed out from the wound and fell on the stone floor drop by drop along the blade of Kunai.
In a daze, Danzo saw Hiruzen Sarutobi standing in front of him, wearing Hokage Cloak, with the same smile on his face as before, and stretched out his hand towards him.
Danzo's lips moved silently.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi..."
"You saw it."
"This time..."
"I made a choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo's body straightened forward and fell forward, hitting the stone floor hard, and blood quickly spread under him.
"Haha, I lied to you."
"After you die, your name will still be nailed to the pillar of shame."
Naruto looked at Danzo's fallen body and sneered.
The people at the scene looked at Naruto's profile and collectively shuddered.
Even if you die, won't you let it go?
Before Danzo died, he thought he had finally made a dignified choice, but it turned out that Naruto had no intention of fulfilling his promise.
One ANBU was the first to come to his senses. He quickly walked into the cell and squatted down to check for a moment. Then he raised his head and reported in the direction of Naruto and Tenzō:
"Danzo, confirmed dead."
The prison was so quiet that the only sound left was the sound of blood dripping on the stone slabs.
At this moment, a piercing laugh exploded from the end of the corridor.
"Hahaha, this show is so exciting!"
"Konoha dog bites dog, watching me is more enjoyable than fighting a war!"
"Hahaha..."
A grabbed the bars of the cell with both hands, laughing so hard that his whole chest shook.
Naruto turned around and walked towards Ai's direction.
Walking slowly and slowly, he walked to Ai's cell and stood still.
Ai's laughter stopped when he saw Naruto standing still.
He looked up and down at Naruto standing outside the railing, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you have changed a bit."
"I remember that your golden hair was quite eye-catching a few days ago. Why has it turned completely black after not seeing you for a few days?"
"Open the cell."
Naruto didn't pick up Ai's words and directly gave instructions to ANBU next to him.
"Yes."
ANBU quickly took out the key and opened the iron door of Ai's cell.
Naruto walked into the cell and came face to face with A who was sitting on the stone bed.
"I originally wanted you Kumogakure to trade war resources for your lives, but who knew that the people in your village have exactly the same temper as you!"
"Not only did they reject all the terms, but they also threatened war and are now massing troops on the border."
"Hmph, well done!"
"This is my Kumogakure style. We Hidden Cloud Village don't have ninjas who are greedy for life and fear death, let alone exchange resources and dignity for prisoners!"
