Old Thief, Lend Me Your Head

The Third Hokage asked himself whether he owed the other man anything, but Shimura Danzō clearly did not see it that way.

You don't owe me anything?

You owe this old man far too much!!

"This old man will return."

After giving the Third Hokage a long look, Shimura Danzō left those words behind and gritted his teeth as he departed.

He was unwilling to accept this, because he had yet to obtain what he valued most. Although there was a good opportunity right now, he could not seize it. He knew perfectly well that if he did not leave, he would definitely suffer for it.

His conflict with Jingyi had reached an irreconcilable point. If Jingyi caught an opportunity, he would absolutely kill him.

Besides, given the village's current situation, he, Shimura Danzō, as one of the beneficiaries, might very well be dragged out to take the blame.

Being dragged out to take the blame even at a time like this... The thought made Shimura Danzō curse furiously in his heart.

This old man wanted to become Hokage!

Not some Pot Kage!

After Shimura Danzō left, the last taut string in the Third Hokage's heart finally snapped loose. All he needed to do now was wait for Tsunade to return to the village and make a final judgment on the matter. As for Shimura Danzō's final threat, the Third Hokage did not take it to heart.

He knew exactly what his old friend wanted, but unfortunately, he was destined never to obtain it.

Never mind whether he could return at all; whether he could even escape Konoha smoothly was questionable.

The Third Hokage did not believe there were no Jingyi's puppets around the Hokage Office Building, nor did he believe there were no Jingyi's puppets waiting at every exit
