Kakashi's changes made Aoba a little speechless because he noticed that the power of Root around him had decreased. Because Root put more energy into Kakashi.
Aoba was a bit dumbfounded by this.
Kakashi himself was a little speechless. I don't know why Root was so crazy. He was basically spying on him openly.
"As for this matter, Kakashi is my fault."
"You, what are you planning, Aoba?"
"The plan is... I'm going to kill Danzo."
Poof...Kakashi squirted out a mouthful of tea.
"Are you crazy? Aoba, Danzo is the senior executive of Konoha, and the leader of Root. You actually want to kill him? This behavior of yours is equivalent to betraying the village."
"So what. During White Fang, Master Third Shinobi World War was still a frontline commander, and Fourth Hokage's candidate. Didn't Danzo do the same thing? Why didn't anyone say he was a traitor to the village?"
"... My father committed suicide."
Kakashi said this with some difficulty. But Aoba did not follow his emotions at all this time.
"No, you and I both know very well. White Fang was killed by the village. Shimura Danzō, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and those consultants, and those people who were held hostage. It was this village that killed him.
Kakashi, White Fang-sama, a powerful ninja, is not mentally fragile. The swords and shadows on the battlefield cannot defeat him, and the rumors and rumors are unlikely to really hurt him.
But he still died, by his own knife. Why do you think this is?"
The death of White Fang is a taboo in Kakashi's heart. The two have been friends for many years, but Aoba has never discussed this matter in depth with Kakashi until today.
Aoba suddenly brought up this topic, leaving Kakashi at a loss for what to do.
"I..."
"Do you want to say that you don't know, or that you don't dare to say?" Aoba pressed further, making Kakashi even more unable to resist.
"You..."
"You dare not say it, I will say it for you. What is Will of Fire? Burn the fallen leaves, feed back the roots, and let the new shoots grow vigorously. This is the Will of Fire set by First.
Madara Uchiha defected, and First Hokage pursued him personally. He was eventually seriously injured and died in depression. Second Hokage was besieged by Kumogakure. He chose to stay behind and save the new generation of Konoha.
Both Hokage used their actual actions to explain what Will of Fire is.
But look at what our Third Shinobi World War and Konoha are doing. They let those children who have not graduated yet go to the front line to be cannon fodder. They use the fault of the new generation of Konoha to exchange for the survival of a few old guys in the Konoha building.
Kakashi, tell me, is this Will of Fire?
Master White Fang was performing a highly confidential mission, but in less than a day, the entire Konoha knew about it. Is this still a confidential mission?
It's such a big deal. It caused uproar in the city, and the whole village was denounced. Look at Orochimaru again. Do you know how many civilians he killed and how many ninjas in this village did experiments?"
"..."
Kakashi continued to be silent. He now realized that these words of Aoba were not only speaking to himself, but also a kind of self-catharsis. He seemed to have been dissatisfied with these things for a long time.
"I don't know, right? Until now, I don't know. Are the villagers of Konoha qualified to know about this? Those who died were the people around them, but they didn't know anything. Even I don't know how many people died in the first place.
But what's the result? Orochimaru has done so much evil, and Hiruzen Sarutobi actually dares to let him go directly! Why do you think this is, Kakashi?"
"Because Orochimaru is a disciple of the third generation, he was temporarily soft-hearted."
"Yes, because Orochimaru is a disciple of the third generation, and the civilians who died are not ninjas. Therefore, their deaths were in vain.
Kakashi, tell me, is this Will of Fire?"
Kakashi was completely speechless. But he also understood what Aoba wanted to express. His father was not simply driven to death by rumors.
He was not a coward who could not bear the pressure and committed suicide.
The White Fang back then was because he realized that the Konoha in his heart was no longer the Konoha he once was. As a result, his faith was shattered and he eventually embarked on the path of self-destruction.
"So, Aoba, you don't just want to kill Danzo, you want to completely clean up Konoha's top management?"
"That's right. Danzo is just the beginning. Even Konoha is just the beginning. In my heart, the entire Shinobi World is on the wrong path. One day in the future, I will personally correct this mistake."
Having said this, Aoba also felt a little excited. Mainly because he had been holding these nonsense in his heart for too long. This time he took this opportunity to vent his anger.
And what he said is actually a bit idealistic. Konoha does need to change. But he actually doesn't have much interest in guiding it himself.
His target is still the BOSS behind the scenes such as Obito Uchiha, Nagato, Madara Uchiha, and even Black Zetsu, Otsutsuki Kaguya.
In Shinobi World, the so-called road and the so-called direction are all illusory. Strength is the greatest capital.
Back then, Hashirama Senju was able to forcefully end Shinobi World's war because he was invincible.
Aoba himself thinks the same way. When he becomes invincible, this Shinobi World is not left to his own devices.
Kakashi hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.
"How are you going to do it?"
"It wasn't me who did it, it was Danzo. The plan is very simple. As soon as Danzo leaves the village, I will kill him."
"...Danzo is not as powerful as Hokage, but it is not far behind. Even if the two of us join forces, it is impossible to defeat him in a short time. And he is also the leader of Root, and his subordinates..."
"Kakashi, you don't have to worry about this. As long as he leaves, I will be sure to kill him."
"But Root's actions are very secretive, Danzo is ordinary..."
Kakashi When he said this, he suddenly paused.
"You've already done it, right? It's because of this that Danzo targeted me. He thought it was me who did it."
"Haha, I finally figured it out. Why do you think Danzo thought it was you?"
"..." Kakashi is not stupid, on the contrary, he can be said to be very smart. After a little thought, he understood the whole story.
He pulled out the short knife from his back and held it in his hand.
"Is it because of this?"
"Look, he himself admitted that he is the murderer. I'm afraid you will take revenge."
Kakashi really didn't expect to seek revenge from Danzo at first. But Danzo's actions made him feel more and more that if he didn't take revenge, he would really be sorry for his father, himself, and even more sorry for Master Danzo.
"Since Danzo thinks I did it, let it become the truth. I will be the bait to lure out Danzo. Whatever means you have, just use them."
"Very good, let's join forces and kill Danzo!"
