My Hokage can't be an undercover agent

After the battle at the bridge, Danzo led his team to trek for another three days and finally entered the eastern fortress of the Fire Country: Iwamori Castle.

Three days later.

"report"

"Come in."

Facing the big man who was studying hard at his desk, the two Konoha ninjas who had just entered were pushing and shoving.

After not hearing anyone's voice for a long time, Danzo raised his head after reviewing and marking the war zone report.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Seeing Danzo turn his attention to himself, the two Konoha ninjas quickly stood at attention.

It was no longer a problem to refuse each other, so one of the two took a step forward and loudly replied to Danzo.

"Reporting to Lord Danzo, the support troops for the northern theater of Fire Country have arrived."

"Eight Jonin, 320 Chuunin, please give me your instructions."

Looking at the serious but slightly nervous look of the young man in his early twenties across from him, Danzo chose to use humor to relieve his nervousness.

"I think the two scars on my face must make you think I am a great tough guy."

"Let me tell you quietly, this scar was actually made when I was chopping vegetables when I was a child."

However, it was obvious that Danzo's dry humor did not play a role in easing the atmosphere.

The two Konoha ninjas who heard those words just now not only looked more nervous, but also showed a hint of inexplicable meaning on their faces that was not there before.

Seeing that his words had the opposite effect, Danzo stopped wasting time and chose to get straight to the point.

"You don't have to come to me about this matter, just report it directly to the Lord of Iwashou City."

At this point, Danzo was a little confused again.

"By the way, although the number of people in the northern theater is small, I remember that the total number of ninjas should be around [-]."

"What about the rest"

Hearing Danzo's question, the Konoha ninja quickly replied.

"The rest are basically genin."

"Lord Hokage ordered that, except for the necessary leadership jounin and backbone chuunin left in the northern theater, all other chunin and jounin will support the eastern theater."

"As for the remaining genin in the northern theater, they will switch to defense on the spot and do their best to delay any possible attack."

After one Konoha ninja finished speaking, another took up his words.

"In addition, the latest order came from the village headquarters: All ninjas in the eastern battlefield must withdraw to Iwamori Castle."

"The Third Hokage also ordered: Lord Danzo, please return to Konoha Village as quickly as possible."

Danzo was silent after hearing the order from his subordinates.

The Sandaime Hokage originally ordered me to come here to sort out the Mist Ninja's offensive situation in order to verify the Cloud Ninja's intelligence. He may even order me to organize a defensive battle or even a counterattack on the spot in the future.

But now this choice. . .

I can understand the deployment of combat forces from the northern theater. After all, the Kumo ninjas have made a secret agreement with us, and the Iwa ninja Kiri ninjas have no plans to attack the northern region in the short term.

But now we directly abandon all fronts in the eastern battlefield and withdraw all combat forces into Iwamori Castle.

We shouldn't just abandon the lords and warriors everywhere who are still fighting.

Normally, at this time, the village should continue to send reinforcements to stabilize the eastern battlefield.

Wait, only the northern theater came to support. . .

The western theater is fighting against the Iwa ninja, but what about the southern theater?

Could it be that the Sand Ninjas have also begun to attack?

The situation has deteriorated to this point.

Slapping the pen on the table, Danzo put away the report on the table and turned to order the two Konoha ninjas in front of him.

"Go call the ANBU who came with me and tell them to prepare to return to the village."

After cleaning up, Danzo raised his head again, only to find that there was still a Konoha ninja from before in the room.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"That, Danzo-sama."

Surprisingly, at this moment, the Konoha ninja had a flash of light on his face. . .shy

"Many people have heard about your record of eight hundred and one hundred thousand in Zhuqiu City."

"So we have been discussing and would like to ask you to inspect all the ninjas here before leaving."

Looking at the fair-skinned and beautiful female ninja in front of him, Danzo was a little confused.

"Eight hundred to one hundred thousand..."

"what"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"It turns out that it was a newspaper issued by the Fire Country Daimyo. It said that I led a defensive battle in Zhuqiu City, using less to hit more."

"But eight hundred to one hundred thousand is too outrageous, right? How could those people from Tian Zhiguo have an army of one hundred thousand?"

"With so many troops, the Daimyo of Tian Country dares to attack the Fire Capital directly."

Looking at the indignant Danzo beside him, Kosuke comforted him with kind words.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do. At times like this, you always have to set up a heroic example to boost morale."

"Put it in the pot and it's a vegetable. Stir-fry it and it's done."

"Blowing ten thousand into one hundred thousand is also a routine operation, everyone does it."

"Don't the Kiri Ninja claim to have dispatched a million troops?"

After Danzo and Kosuke finished speaking, more than 600 Konoha ninjas from Iwamori Castle were also assembled in the warehouse at this moment.

Danzo took a closer look and found that the ten Anbu who followed him were among them.

"What the hell are those ten guys?"

"They don't plan to go back."

"Um"

Facing Danzo who stared at him with a sharp gaze, Kosuke's voice was clear and cold with deliberate indifference.

"They said Iwamori Castle doesn't have enough manpower."

"Staying here for a moment longer will buy the Leaf Village an extra moment of defense and preparation time."

"Compared to returning to the village, they can play their role better here."

Looking at Kosuke who was trembling slightly, Danzo felt very clear in his heart.

"Kengsuke, you also want to stay."

"No, I want to go back with you."

"Because I'm quite afraid of death, I..."

No, you are not afraid of death at all.

If I'm afraid of death, I won't accept the "winery" organization's surveillance mission on me.

The reason why you want to go with me is just because you still want to complete your mission.

Thinking of this, Danzo dragged Kosuke's hand and put the Thunder God's Sword directly into his hand.

"This, this is"

"You saw the battle with the Iwa Ninja's bridge, right?"

"Injecting chakra, this sword will emit the light of thunder."

"It is the sword of the Second Hokage: the Sword of Thunder God"

"This this..."

He stretched out his hand to hold the surprised Kosuke's shoulders and spoke carefully.

"In fact, I heard the Second Hokage talk about you a long time ago."

"You are the one who has inherited the ninjutsu and beliefs of the second generation of Naruto, Kosuke, Genin of Konoha, go and fulfill your responsibilities as a ninja of Konoha."

"If you come with me this time, I'm afraid you will never forgive yourself in this life."

After saying this, Danzo turned to the six hundred Konoha ninjas standing in the warehouse and shouted loudly.

"As a member of Konoha, I respect everyone's choice and admire your determination."

"As the special envoy sent here by the Sandaime Hokage Uzumaki Mito, this is the first and only order I give to everyone."

"Once Yanshou City unfortunately falls, I allow you, no, I order you, to bury your forehead protectors and ninja tools at the moment the city is breached, and try your best to break out as civilians."

"This order is my personal decision, Danzo Shimura."

"You just need to execute, you don't need to be responsible for it."

"I'm done talking."

As the words fell, what caught the eyes of the six hundred ninjas was Danzo's bowed body.
