I asked you to be Hokage and you burned Konoha?

There was no answer, Danzo just looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly, looking at this monkey who could not only dance with a stick.

After a long time, he said: "It seems that you already know what Orochimaru did, but you haven't done anything yet..."

After a pause, he continued: "Do you want to give him a chance to change his ways?"

After hearing this, the solemn expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face changed, and he leaned on the back of the sofa cushions and closed his eyes.

Danzo...didn't deny it...

"Did you bewitch him, or was it his own intention?"

Silently, he asked.

"Do you think Orochimaru is someone who can be bewitched?"

Danzo said sarcastically: "Which of your three disciples can be controlled? If you really can make them obey, will the village face the current crisis? How can you talk down to Kumo Ninja?"

Not even talking down to Kumo Ninja, if those three could be obedient, would the current Hokage of the village still be this old guy?

Any one of those three is qualified to inherit the position of Hokage!

Regardless of strength, qualifications or military exploits!

After hearing this, the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face improved a little, but it was still not good-looking. He opened his eyes and looked at Danzo, "You should know that some things cannot be touched, not to mention that it is the teacher's body. Since you know ,you..."

"The village needs a decisive force!"

Before he could finish speaking, Danzo interrupted him and said coldly: "Do you know what I hate most about you? It's this!"

"The village is facing a crisis, countless people are rushing to the battlefield, and countless families are separated from each other. However, in the face of such a crisis, you stick to the rules and always abide by those rules and rules! Can these rules allow Konoha to win? These rules can allow Konoha to win. Is Ye powerful?!"

"Is the dead more important, or the living? Why do you think Teacher created a forbidden technique like Reincarnation?!"

“Do you have to use it after you create it?!”

Facing Danzo's aggressiveness, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not flinch at all, and said angrily: "If Tobirama-sensei wanted to use it, he should have used it during the first battle. Ninjutsu that desecrates the dead should not have been created. ! If Konoha needs its deceased ancestors to protect it, then that’s the end of Konoha!”

"And... living people are more important than dead people, but how many lives are needed to fill the experiments you are doing? Are you doing this worthy of the teacher? Those are all people in the village!"

"Since you are a member of the village, you should contribute to the village!"

Danzo angrily said, "They enjoy the protection of the village. Except for some special circumstances, we have never let the village fall into the flames of war. Even if the fight is difficult, we will use our lives to keep the enemy out and prevent the war from spreading." Go to the village, and since you enjoy peace under our protection, you need to pay for it!”

"Is this how you pay? I would rather they die on the battlefield than face the knives of their fellow villagers! Danzo, if it were you, you..."

--boom!

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, Danzo had already stretched out his hands to form a seal, and a sapling grew out, breaking through the floor.

"you..."

Looking at the stunned Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo sneered, "So what if it's me? I can make them face dangers to experiment, and I will naturally face the same dangers as them!"

Even if the success rate is not so low after the technology matures, and one hundred people will not die from the operation, the success rate is still relatively low, otherwise there would not be only one successful person until now.

But...he still chose transplantation.

"For Konoha, I have no regrets! If you want to kill me, then do it!"

Looking at his old friend who looked stubborn and full of fighting spirit, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have been drained of his energy, and he slumped down on the sofa, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.

"Seti...you also did experiments?"

"Seti?"

Danzo was slightly startled when he heard this, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "No."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "Since Seti showed his talent, I have not done any more transplant surgery experiments, because his talent does not require the risk of uncertainty."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

If Danzo even used his adopted son and student for experiments, then he would kill him no matter what.

He knew that Danzo was extreme, after all, it had been so many years, but extremes were extremes, if feelings no longer existed, then he could no longer be called a human being.

only...

Is that all?

Closing his eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, as countless undead souls seemed to appear before his eyes. .

If you die for the village, die on the battlefield, or die at the hands of the enemy, he will only think that everyone is brave, and will give the highest honor to those who unfortunately died.

Can...

They died at the hands of their own people.

And there were probably a lot of kids in there.

"Why do you do such a thing? Even if it's for the village, even if it's for the village...those children..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in great pain. Orochimaru's matter had already given him a headache and discomfort, but now even Danzo was involved, and the most important thing was that he asked.

If he didn't know, he could just keep pretending to be confused. Danzo couldn't be killed. If he killed Danzo, Konoha would be in turmoil, and he wouldn't even be able to expel him, and he... wouldn't be able to kill him.

But now he knows...

"I want to take back the rights to my roots."

Taking a deep breath to suppress the pain in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said solemnly: "Not only that, you must be grounded. From now on, you will no longer be the elder advisor in the village, let alone a high-ranking person in the village!"

"Root retraction is impossible, Konoha needs roots!"

Danzo was not surprised at all by this result. He said quietly: "You are the Hokage. I cannot refuse your order, but it is impossible to cancel the root. As the leader of the root, I propose that Seti be the new leader of the root."

"Seti..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "His personality is not suitable for Gen."

He didn't tell Seti that he didn't punish Danzo. That bastard boy's character was not obedient, and even Danzo couldn't control that boy.

only...

Seti's character is indeed not suitable for Genbu, or even for Anbu.

"It's not suitable, but you haven't abdicated yet. When you do, he will naturally arrange the position of the root leader."

"you..."

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted. Is this paving the way for Seti to ascend to the throne?

Seti's military exploits were sufficient, and he was able to repel the Kumo ninja from capturing the Two-Tailed Jinchūriki. This achievement was actually equivalent to the achievement of a war commander who suppressed a country.

But Seti was too young.

And although Seti was a jounin, he had never taken care of a student.

Naruto is not only a representative of combat power and achievements, this position also means cultivation.

Ninjas can fight alone, but Naruto can't. It's one thing for you to be strong in combat, but if you want to be recognized by others, you have to be able to lead others.

The village can decide on the position of Hokage, but it needs the approval of the Fire Nation's daimyo. Seti has never led anyone at his age, how can the Fire Nation's daimyo approve?

But it would be different if Seti had the experience of leading a root before becoming Hokage. When the Daimyo saw that the boy had led a root, he was the leader of the root. Being younger would only make the Daimyo happier.

And if the daimyo is happy, the annual military expenditure will be more.

Of course, if you are so famous that everyone knows you and thinks you are very good, then it is okay even if you have no political achievements.

For example, Minato claimed to end the three wars single-handedly.

Seti's current reputation is not bad. When the news of Mu Dun's awakening spreads, the big names will definitely know about it. Even if he is recognized as Hokage, it is not impossible, but...

Wouldn't it be better if there were more titles of root leaders on the head?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly couldn't tell whether Danzo did it on purpose today or if he took advantage of the situation after being discovered, but...

"So be it."

With a slight sigh, he nodded slightly and agreed to Danzo's request.

This is probably the best way to deal with it now. As for Orochimaru...

Hey~
