It had been noon when Lin Ze returned to Konoha that day, and now it was already evening.
After placing the wedding gift and note he had prepared on the table, he did not rest right away. Instead, he walked to the window and looked out at the setting sun.
The Root Base... Danzo... Yamato...
These words circled in Lin Ze's mind.
Naturally, Lin Ze had no fondness for Danzo, the "Root" who had always lurked in Konoha's shadows. He could even be said to loathe him.
Lin Ze had once entertained the thought that Danzo would be the first person he killed after reaching Kage Level, but as Fox had said, Danzo was part of the Konoha High Command, after all. Going against Danzo meant making an enemy of Konoha.
With Lin Ze's current strength, killing Danzo without using the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon's powers was impossible, but using those powers at this point would draw Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu's attention.
Madara Uchiha only had a few years left to live and was now at the most critical stage of his plans. If Lin Ze emerged now, Madara Uchiha would most likely choose to eliminate him as an unpredictable factor before dying.
As for Black Zetsu, that old schemer who had roamed the Shinobi World for a thousand years, although his death in the original story had been unceremonious, he surely had plenty of fallback measures.
Danzo alone was not worth it. At worst, Lin Ze would simply let him live a few more years.
