I asked you to be Hokage and you burned Konoha?

At night, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who drank some wine at the celebration banquet, was sitting on the sofa and looking at documents. The whole house was empty. It was so quiet that he could hear the faint breathing. Only the occasional scroll unfolded and There was the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

He had three disciples and two sons in his life.

However, two of his three disciples were not in the village at this time, and the remaining one was present, but he was aloof by nature and did not like to interact with others. There was no celebration party like today.

As for his two sons...

The eldest son is already married and has moved out with his daughter-in-law, while the second son has some complaints about his father because of the death of Lake Biwa. He is now working as a guardian ninja in the capital of the Land of Fire, so he is the only one in the huge house.

But apart from occasionally feeling a little lonely, he had gotten used to it over the past few years and didn't think it was anything.

and...

Such things as sadness of spring and autumn are reserved for idlers. As the third generation Hokage, he is obviously not an idler. Among the numerous official duties, he has no time to think about those things.

"Speaking of Lake Biwa, Hanazuki is pregnant. I don't know if she will be a grandson or a granddaughter. I think a granddaughter is better. As long as she is not as virtuous as Tsunade, she will not be too noisy. But... if it were you, she would probably be more Do you like grandson? It’s a pity that you can’t see it anymore..."

Whispering softly like a babble, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "But it's okay. I'll just tell you when the time comes. Please be more patient."

He has already completed more than half of his life, and he may come to the end one day. In such a world, he feels that it is a blessing to be alive to see his grandchildren, and he is happier than most people. many.

——Creak!

Just when he was distracted, dealing with the documents at hand and remembering his late wife, there was the sound of the door being pushed open from outside.

"Danzo, why are you here?"

Seeing his old friend standing at the door, who seemed to blend into the shadow, he put down the document in his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to have some blood today. You won't mind if the old man eats a little more, right?"

"do not mind."

Replied quietly, Danzo walked to the sofa next to him and sat down. A piece of paper appeared on the table as he sat down.

"What is this? Secret information detected at the root...huh??"

After looking at the page, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly turned his head and looked at his old friend beside him, his face full of question marks.

What do you mean? ?

"Pay the bill for the celebration banquet, Hiruzen."

"Why should I give you money? It's not a celebration party held by me. It's none of my business!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately woke up from his drunken state, threw the paper back to Danzo, and cursed: "That bastard boy didn't even give the two-tailed jinchūriki to the village, I won't give you half a cent! No money at all!!”

"It's up to you whether you want to pay or not."

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. When did this old guy Danzo become so easy to talk to?

But before he could finish his doubts, Danzo's ancient well-like voice came again, "I told those people that they should go to the Hokage's office tomorrow and the Hokage will settle the bill for them."

"you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was angry, "I have no money! It cost a lot to hold celebrations before, and you know the discounts at the celebrations. The discounts are all subsidized by the village, so now not only me, but also the village has no money!"

"How can you have no money?"

With a slight smile on his lips, Danzo took out another piece of paper from his loose sleeves and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Before coming here, I calculated the village's expenses. Although there has been no war in the past few years, The daimyo's military subsidy is not much, but because of Minato's death, the daimyo gave extra mourning money as a token of his condolences. You don't think I don't know, do you?"

"That's for emergency use!"

"Now is the time to use it urgently!"

Raising his chin slightly, Danzo snorted, "Whether you agree or not, Seti has made a contribution. As the Hokage, you are honored. The celebration banquet is not for selfishness. You have seen it yourself. , Everyone in the village is very happy today, and the previous decline has been wiped out. As Hokage, why are you so embarrassed not to pay?"

"I'm very embarrassed!"

"That's up to you. Anyway, everyone will know tomorrow. Although the celebration banquet is held by Hokage to commend Seti Jōnin, it is actually to make everyone in the village happy. If you are shameless, you can go out Tell everyone that this was not your intention, it was all my fault, Danzo. If you dare to say this, I will pay for it!"

"you..."

Pointing at Danzo, who looked calm, Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless and frustrated.

Can you tell me?

can!

This would indeed be true if he didn't want fame.

But the problem is...

He doesn't care about money or power. The only thing he cares about is a good reputation. He even secretly changed the teaching materials to say that the third generation is the strongest Hokage in the village. How could he destroy his own reputation?

"Old guy, why aren't you dead?!"

"Ha! Just wait. Maybe I can bring flowers to see you then. If it hadn't been for an accident, I would have brought flowers to see you before."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a look on his face. He was silent for a while before speaking: "Do you really want to kill me? You should know that those people can't kill me. I don't think you He would despise me to that extent."

After Minato's incident, he went to the capital of the Land of Fire to meet with the Daimyo. Danzo sent people to take action against him when he applied to be reinstated.

But it was not Danzo himself who came, only some root ninjas.

He didn't think Danzo was unaware of his strength, and he was accompanied by Anbu ninjas. These root ninjas obviously couldn't succeed. It was more like sending people to die than an assassination. He didn't understand, so he didn't punish him much. The other party only made some restrictions on the roots.

But now that old things were brought up again, he asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Of course it's true."

"Can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Danzo stood up and said softly: "Seti has proved what I thought. You are indeed not suitable to become Hokage again."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, but Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Seti's Wood Release is fake, right?"

"real."

"One of the people you sent to kill me was a kid who knew how to use wood escape. Was he the one who used wood escape in the northeastern war zone?"

Danzo paused slightly, but Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, "With the character of that bastard boy like Seti, if you really know how to use Wood Release, you won't just let it go. What kind of ninjutsu is Wood Release? Everyone knows that only those people from outside the village who don’t know the truth and the character of that bastard think that he has awakened Mu Dun.”

Speaking of this, the smile on his face suddenly turned cold. He looked at Danzo with a solemn look on his face, "I used to be very confused about why they were all using Wood Release. Teacher Hashirama's Wood Release is so strong, but that kid's Wood Release is so strong." The escape is so weak. I originally thought it was because Hashirama-sensei is special. Whether it’s ninjutsu or blood successor boundary, it all depends on who is using it. Just like me, even if there is no blood successor boundary, there is not much in the current ninja world. People dare to say they can beat me, but now...I know."

"Danzo, are you participating in Orochimaru's experimental plan?"
