Anger, endless anger, almost burned his reason to death!
He actually lost. In the battle that he was most determined to win, he lost completely against Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Everything he carefully planned, his "magical plan" that could turn things around, turned into a complete joke in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi's "vote in a week"!
Why is this happening?
He has clearly "understood" Kirigakure's conspiracy, he has clearly "sent" Shisui Uchiha, and he has clearly successfully nipped in the cradle a disaster that could destroy Konoha!
Isn't my own contribution great enough?
In addition, I have worked hard over the years and paid so much to protect Konoha.
Isn't this enough to get him to the position he dreams of?
In Danzo's mind, Senju Chen's young and calm face flashed.
Senju Chen, it's that kid!
Everything started when that kid announced "Senju Clan Neutral"!
That move made everyone doubt his "credit" and turned his "ace" into a piece of waste paper!
And Hiruzen Sarutobi, the old guy who had been fighting with him all his life, seized this opportunity and gave him a fatal blow without mercy!
Danzo can even imagine the expressions of the family patriarchs and Jonins in the village now after hearing about his "contributions".
They will not feel admiration, they will only feel that this is a lie he made up for the election, a clumsy political show!
"Hehe... hehehe..."
Danzo suddenly laughed softly, and the laughter was filled with endless resentment and madness.
It's a pity that if Shisui Uchiha had noticed Kirigakure's conspiracy later, Jinchūriki named Rin Nohara could have been "sacrificially sacrificed" closer to Konoha, or even on the edge of Konoha's barrier.
In that case, Minato Namikaze, as Rin Nohara's mentor Jonin, will inevitably be implicated. A teacher who can't even protect his own students, and even almost turns his students into weapons that destroy the village, what qualifications does a teacher have to become Hokage?
At that time, if he stands up again and solves the problem with thunderous power, he can not only gain achievements, but also eliminate a competitor along with Teuchi.
It's a pity that this rare opportunity was ruined by my own "magic calculation".
"A week... a week..."
Danzo murmured to himself, with a crazy light shining in his one eye.
A week is really too short.
Hiruzen, you forced me to do this.
Since conventional methods no longer work, don't blame him for overturning the chessboard!
He suddenly raised his head and looked at his two confidants standing in the shadows.
"Here comes someone."
"Sir." A Root ninja suddenly appeared in front of Danzo and knelt down on one knee.
"Divide all the evidence collected about Orochimaru's human experiments into three parts." Danzo's voice was cold and emotionless.
"Divide the evidence into three parts. One part, send it directly to Hokage's Office and give it to Hiruzen Sarutobi. The other part, find a way to send it to the clan leaders. The last part..."
Danzo's mouth opened into a ferocious smile.
"Let it spread quickly in the village. I want all the Jonins in the village, all the villagers, to see what kind of monster one of the Sannins they admire is!"
"Yes!"
Watching his subordinates disappear into the darkness, Danzo slowly sat back in the mess, his single eye flashing with the madness that would destroy him.
Hiruzen, don't you want to vote?
I want to see how you end up when your beloved disciple turns into a demon who conducts human experiments and harms his fellow humans!
This election is not over yet!
Night falls.
Konoha gradually faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day and became quiet and peaceful.
Hokage The top floor of the building is still brightly lit.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting behind his desk, rubbing his brows tiredly. On the table, spread out was a top-secret document that had just been sent by Anbu and was sealed in a black scroll.
The contents of the document made his old heart feel as if it had been immersed in ice water.
A series of shocking photos, a series of shockingly detailed experimental records...
All the evidence points to the disciple he is most optimistic about and the one who gives him the most headaches - Orochimaru.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had known for a long time that Orochimaru was conducting some taboo research, but he always held a trace of illusion, thinking that Orochimaru was just too paranoid in his thirst for knowledge and was not bad in nature. He chose tolerance and acquiescence time and time again, hoping that his students could return from their lost ways.
However, this scroll completely shattered all his illusions.
This is not research, this is massacre! It is the most vicious blasphemy against life!
"Here comes someone." Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was hoarse and heavy.
Two Anbu wearing masks appeared in front of him silently.
"Block all access to and from the village, Level A alert."
"Summon Team 7 and Team 8 and immediately surround all known strongholds of Orochimaru, including the research institute under the No. 3 training ground."
"Notify Jiraiya and ask him to stand by."
"... You two, follow me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up slowly. He took off the royal robe that symbolized Hokage's identity, and only wore a black combat uniform. He put on his Forehead Protector again, and at this moment, his cloudy old eyes became as sharp as an eagle again.
Tonight, he is not Hokage.
He is a teacher who wants to clean up the house.
In the deep research room, Orochimaru is studying with great interest the "Confinement Cursed Seal" that Senju Chen drew for him.
The more he studied, the more intense the light in his eyes became.
"Genius... what a genius idea! The soul is so perfectly combined with Sealing Jutsu, and can even be linked with Tailed Beast Chakra..."
He stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, preparing for the next step of the cracking simulation.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and his movements suddenly stopped.
"Ka--"
The sound of a mechanism turning was heard, and the door slid open to one side.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the door, his old face looking particularly gloomy under the pale green light. Behind him were two Anbu who exuded a murderous aura.
"Teacher, you came to me so late. Do you have any new research topics? Do you need my help?" Orochimaru turned around with the usual smile on his face, as if he was not surprised by everything in front of him.
"Orochimaru." Hiruzen Sarutobi walked into the laboratory step by step. His eyes swept across the glass containers filled with deformed specimens, and finally fell on the handsome but evil face of his student.
His voice was full of disappointment and pain that could not be concealed.
"Look at all this stuff around you! Look at the good things you've done!"
