Dark Naruto's acting life

Inside the Root Organization's underground base.

Danzo finally returned to the village eight days after leaving.

He was originally very happy to have the Sharingan arm he had been longing for, but after receiving the secret report, he could no longer smile. Now, seeing that his nest had become a ruin, his face was twitching constantly.

Although he had learned from the secret letter that the base had been attacked and suffered heavy losses, and he was somewhat mentally prepared, when he saw with his own eyes that his years of business had been burned to ashes, even a man like Danzo could not help but be furious.

Click!

The crutch in Danzo's hand was crushed by himself.

A tiny wooden thorn pierced into Danzo's palm and blood flowed out, but he ignored it because the man's heart was already filled with anger.

Seeing Danzo like this, the Root members standing in front of him to be inspected were all silent.

"Lord Danzo, this is all my fault. It was my negligence that led to such a big mistake. I am willing to die to apologize for my sin." The team leader who was on duty on the day the base was attacked said this, then knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Danzo repeatedly.

Danzo's trusted confidant Yamanaka Feng kicked the captain on duty to the ground.

"What's the point of saying all this! Did you see the true face of the intruder that day? Or did he leave behind any clothes or other items that could be used to track him?"

The team leader was kicked in the chest and flew backwards.

He was in pain, but he didn't dare to shout out, let alone show his dissatisfaction.

Covering his chest, the team leader quickly got up and answered, "None... none. That man was very experienced. He quickly broke in and used more than a hundred shadow clones to contain us. He quietly sneaked into the two forbidden areas on the 15th and 18th floors. There were a total of sixty guards on the two floors, all of whom were killed by him in a short period of time. When we returned to the gods and went to the lower floors to block him, he had already sealed all the treasures. We wanted to catch him, but we came up empty-handed. His method... was suspected to be... suspected to be the Flying Thunder God Technique of the second and fourth generations."

"Haha." Shan Zhongfeng sneered, "What's the difference between Flying Thunder God and Flying Thunder God? In the final analysis, you didn't even leave a hair of him, right?"

"Yes... yes..." The captain on duty nodded tremblingly.

"you this……"

"Wind, forget it."

Yamanaka Feng was about to step forward and slap the man, but Danzo stopped him.

"Yes, Lord Danzo." After hearing this, Yamanaka Feng stepped aside without saying a word.

After a brief moment of rage, Danzo calmed down.

His face returned to its usual mysterious look.

Danzo looked at the remaining one hundred or so members and said, "Take off your masks for me."

As Danzo's order came out, all the Root members took off their masks without hesitation.

Every young face was filled with shame, humiliation and loneliness after a miserable defeat.

Danzo scanned the expressions of the defeated soldiers and reprimanded them in a deep voice, "Look at how you all look, dejected and dejected. What's wrong? Have you forgotten the ninja way that I taught you?"

The members of the Arigen clan cried out in tears: "We must never forget the teachings of Master Danzo! We are just...we are just..."

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly, "Don't cry! What does that look of yours mean? What does that look of yours mean? What do those two lines of tears mean! Now, raise your heads and don't cry!"

Danzo's voice was deafening.

The Root members couldn't help but hold their heads high.

"When did we, the members of the Root organization, become so weak? We must admit this failure, but this time the fault is not yours, but mine. It was because I was too lax with you that this failure occurred. The organization's loss this time should be attributed to me. If the Hokage blames you afterwards, you can just put the blame on me."

"Lord Danzo..." The Root members were very anxious. They planned to persuade Danzo to blame the loss on themselves and others. They were willing to atone their sins with their lives and use this to stop the difficulties from the Hokage.

But Danzo stretched out his hand to stop everyone from speaking.

"No need to say more, just go and have a good rest, we can talk about it later if there is anything else."

Danzo said and turned to leave.

Looking at Danzo's lonely back, all the members of the Root organization burst into tears.

They thought they would be severely punished for this failure, but they didn't expect that Lord Danzo would be so considerate of them. Not only did he not blame them, but he took the main responsibility.

This broad-mindedness impressed the root members.

Wiping away their tears, the members of Root looked determined.

"No! Lord Danzo is right! How could Lord Danzo be wrong when he is supreme?"

"Right! We and that damn invader are at fault! If Hokage-sama makes things difficult for Danzo-sama for this matter, we will never agree!"

"Your Excellency the Captain is the Supreme!"

"Danzo-sama is the most supreme!"

Hearing the shouts coming from behind him, Danzo's mouth curled up slightly.

He knew that from now on, these people would swear allegiance to the Root and to him, Danzo, until death.

Even if ten thousand detonating talismans were thrown at him, these people would stand in front of him without hesitation.

Although the price paid was a bit painful, gaining a group of loyal fans is a bit of comfort for Danzo now.

……

After leaving the Root's underground base, Danzo took two of his confidants to the Konoha Hospital.

He would now go to his two advisors to discuss his proposal to become the Fifth Hokage.

Although Orochimaru did not kill the Third Generation directly, he also poisoned him.

The current Hokage's time is running out, and as the oldest and most capable person in Konoha, it is reasonable and logical for him to propose that he succeed the next Hokage.

In this way, Danzo went to the hospital confidently and put forward his ideas.

Soon after.

Danzo, who came with high spirits, left the hospital with a gloomy face.

Obviously, his proposal was rejected.

Danzo failed to become Hokage, he was not even a candidate.

He had originally expected that after he left, Orochimaru would immediately jump out to inflict heavy damage on Konoha and kill the Third Hokage, and then he would come back to take charge of the situation and successfully ascend to the throne. However, he did not expect that Jiraiya would come back at this time.

"Damn Jiraiya! How could a damn Jiraiya jump out!?"

If he fails to become Hokage this time, then he won't know when the next chance will come.

Danzo is unwilling to give in!

In this incident, his base was accidentally destroyed and he suffered heavy losses. If he fails to be elected as Hokage, his plan this time will become a complete joke!

No! I can't let myself become a joke!

Uzumaki Naruto! The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! That little bastard who ruined my plan, at least this time, I will hold him in my hands!

Thinking of this, Danzo said to the two close friends behind him: "Feng, Torne."

"Please give your orders, Lord Danzo." The two responded at the same time.

"Go and spread the news to me, saying that the attack on Konoha was caused by the demon fox Uzumaki Naruto and the traitor Orochimaru working together."

"Yes." Shan Zhongfeng nodded in response, "Master Danzo, do we need to release the demon fox's motive and purpose? Isn't it a bit empty to just say that the two of them joined forces?"

Danzo first glanced at the half-destroyed Konoha Village, and then replied calmly: "No need, just spread the news that the demon fox and Orochimaru are colluding."

"Yes." Shan Zhongfeng stopped talking.

Danzo is well versed in manipulating public opinion.

He often uses tactics such as fanning the flames and taking advantage of every opportunity.

At a time when the people of Konoha have suffered huge losses due to the Orochimaru incident, they must have complaints against the village's top leaders. If left unchecked, it will become a huge hidden danger to the village.

Someone has to take the blame for this. Originally, Danzo wanted to let Sarutobi Hiruzen take the blame and then let him step down, but he is now half dead and it seems that he will not last for a few more days, so there is no need to use public opinion against him.

Then he could just put the blame on the demon fox that ruined his plans. Taking advantage of the anger of the people of Konoha, Danzo would firmly fasten his lasso around the neck of the Jinchūriki.

If everything went well, the Jinchūriki would soon become an obedient dog by his side.
