"My teacher only taught me to keep goodness in my heart and hate evil. Those who treat me and Konoha well naturally deserve kindness and courtesy, but there is no need to show respect to evildoers."
Ye Feng showed Shimura Danzō no respect whatsoever. If he had not wanted to avoid falling out with Konoha, and wanted Shimura Danzō to die with his reputation in ruins, Ye Feng would have wanted to kill him outright.
"Fine! Fine! So young, yet already so insolent. Sooner or later, keeping you around will bring disaster. Better to eliminate you now, before you do anything that harms Konoha!" Shimura Danzō had not encountered anyone who dared insult him to his face in a long time. Furious, he had begun speaking recklessly.
"Enough!" The Third Hokage interrupted Shimura Danzō, looking at him angrily.
Seeing the Third Hokage's expression, Shimura Danzō immediately came to his senses and realized how inappropriate his words had been. He closed his eyes to calm himself.
Ye Feng had no intention of letting him off so easily:
"Hmph! What big words. Do you think Konoha belongs to you alone? Don't forget, Lord Hokage is still here. It is Lord Hokage's Will of Fire that guides this village, and we protect the village in accordance with that will. This is not a place where you can wield absolute power!"
Ye Feng leveled a grave accusation at Shimura Danzō while flattering the Third Hokage and making his own position clear. He also deliberately drew a sharp contrast between his attitudes toward the two men. The Third Hokage immediately found Ye Feng increasingly agreeable, while finding Shimura Danzō's behavior increasingly objectionable.
The Third Hokage naturally knew that Shimura Danzō had repeatedly acted against Ye Feng, and that Ye Feng would not treat Shimura Danzō
