Are you fucking kidding me?!
You want me to be the captain of the Hokage Guard Team?!
Shimura Danzō's eyes were already filled with fury as he looked at the Third Hokage.
The well-prepared Third Hokage tried to placate him.
"Danzo, all the important positions in the village are already filled. I can't exactly kick someone else out, can I?"
"I want the position of Jonin Corps Captain."
Shimura Danzō's ambition was as great as ever.
"Impossible!!!"
The Third Hokage would never hand the position of Jonin Corps Captain to Shimura Danzō. Even if he had to let someone from the Nara Clan take it up again, he could not hand it over to him.
"Then give me an opportunity. I want to establish a special department, something like the Anbu. With the Anbu not under your control, you must have been constrained in many ways, right?"
After being rejected, Shimura Danzō chose to take a step back.
Since becoming Jonin Corps Captain was out of the question, he would establish Root instead.
He believed the Third Hokage would support him.
With the Anbu out of his hands, the Third Hokage was restrained at every turn. As Hokage, there were many matters that could not see the light of day and needed someone to handle them. This newly formed department could become a blade in the Hokage's hand, just like the Anbu once had been.
"I'll consider it."
Shimura Danzō had guessed correctly. The Third Hokage truly was tempted.
But being tempted did not mean he could act immediately, because he needed Jingyi's permission.
Otherwise, what would happen to the Anbu once this department was established?
"Give me an answer as soon as possible!!"
After walking out of Konoha Prison, Shimura Danzō left without looking back. He needed to return
