If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En sat on both sides, with Sarutobi Hiruzen in the middle.

As for Danzo, he stood in the middle of the three. He stood there, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and his left eye stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes were full of anger, but hidden deeper was a hint of relief.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt uncomfortable being stared at. He put down the big pipe in his hand and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Danzo, what's wrong?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was filled with a hint of doubt and uneasiness. He looked at his old partner who had always given him a headache, and a feeling of worry welled up in his heart.

After hearing what the Sandaime said, Danzo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a sneer.

"Tobirama-sama! Look at you! This is the Hokage you chose!"

He cursed the Nidaime inwardly, then threw a scroll to the three of them.

"Hiruzen! How dare you ask what's wrong?"

Danzo's voice was hoarse and full of resentment.

"You are a Hokage, but you didn't even know that you lost all the Jinchuriki in the village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, he picked up the scroll that Danzo threw to him and read it carefully.

It records a series of pictures, which are scenes of Team 7 in the Land of Waves.

"There are two Kakashis? No... That should be the enemy from the parallel universe that Jiraiya mentioned!"

"They are...captured?!"

"Wait! This is..."

The last picture freezes on the scene where Nagato's five fingers are attached to the Bagua Seal on Naruto's abdomen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank.

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression and snorted in disdain in his heart, but he was still very satisfied with his expression.

"I think you may not know yet! One of them is Kakashi from a parallel universe, and the other is his former companion in Minato's class - Obito, who is also from the Uchiha family. According to the spies I arranged in the Land of Waves, this person was seen using the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"As for the man who tried to unlock the seal of the Jinchūriki, he is exactly the same as Jiraiya's apprentice in the Land of Rain. He should also be from a parallel world. In addition to the blood-red hair that proves that he is from the Uzumaki clan, he probably also has... the Sage Eyes!"

In Danzo's mouth, Naruto has no name, he only has a nickname.

Jinchuuriki!

This is Naruto's name!

"Where...where did you get these? Are they still in Wave Country?"

"Haha, as a Hokage, you have no vigilance at all! This is the information passed on by the intelligence department of my Root. It was you who arranged for them to go to the Land of Waves, right?"

Danzo's tone was somewhat aggressive.

To be honest, it was just good luck. He arranged spies in two nearby countries disguised as ordinary people. Unexpectedly, this group of people in the parallel world and Kakashi were seen by the spies in the Wave Country, and the spies also sent information back to him.

Of course, the spy did not convey the news of Kakashi's capture. The spy there only played the role of ordinary information transmission. People of that level naturally could not know Naruto's identity and the situation of Team 7.

He saw Nagato falling from the sky, then building a cross-sea bridge, and Cardo's death, which was suspected to be done by Konoha's ninja. These two things were mainly reported to him.

Then I recorded what those people looked like.

As luck would have it, I happened to see the scene where both the Jinchūriki and the seal were discovered.

"God help me too!"

Danzo was a little excited, the Third Generation was old, and the Fifth Generation had not yet been chosen. Now he had made such a big mistake, if he volunteered to capture the Jinchuriki, wouldn't the Hokage have to give up the position to him?

At that time, we will put some pressure on the daimyos, and then discuss it with Utane Koharu and Mitomon En.

If it doesn't work... the power of this eye must be restored...

The position of Hokage... is just around the corner!

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea what Danzo was thinking at the moment. He picked up his pipe and took a deep puff.

"It was indeed me who approved the mission to arrange for them to go to Wave Country."

"But...it was only a C-rank mission, and Kakashi was following him all the time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in mixed emotions, there was no expression on his cloudy old face, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

"A C-rank mission? Haha, since Jiraiya passed on the message, we can say that the whole village has to be on alert, but you still let them leave Konoha?"

"Huruzen! If the Kyuubi is lost, you will be to blame!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also made a quick decision. He stood up and said, "I will arrange for Jiraiya to protect Naruto now. Jiraiya will definitely make sure he returns to the village safely!"

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, the Eight Trigrams Seal on Naruto will definitely not be able to be removed by the other party for a while, but there is still a chance to make up for it now!

"Arrange? By the time you finish arranging it, I'm afraid the Nine-Tailed Fox will already be in someone else's hands!"

"I told you during the Nine-Tails Rebellion that I should train the Jinchūriki, but you just didn't want to!"

"No need to wait for your arrangement. I am already on the way with the elites of the Root."

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu who were standing nearby felt relieved after hearing this, and they looked at Danzo with approval.

"Danzo! Thank you for your hard work! Please make sure to bring the Nine-Tails back to the village safely!"

Danzo nodded.

"That's natural. As a root, I am the last guarantee of Konoha. But there are some things I want to say in advance. Sometimes you sit in a position for too long and become numb. Shouldn't you give the opportunity to someone more capable?"

Danzo turned around while saying this.

"Danzo, your ability has been witnessed by all of us over the years. I am also old and unable to do the same. When you return, I will definitely give the position of Hokage to someone more capable."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice slowly sounded behind him. He naturally knew what the goals and wishes of his best friend had always been.

Now that the parallel universe is about to be invaded, Sarutobi Hiruzen does feel a little overwhelmed. Perhaps letting the ruthless Danzo take the position will be more able to lead Konoha to maintain stability in this chaotic world.

Of course, a bigger part of the reason is that disaster is coming!

I am old now, and it may be difficult for me to solve any problems I encounter.

Rather than shouldering the responsibility and becoming the sinner who caused Konoha to suffer heavy damage and losses, it would be better to abdicate as soon as possible.

"My old friend, I'm sorry... I have been in office for so many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. That's enough. Now it's time for me to abdicate..."

Danzo did not have so many ulterior motives in his mind. When he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's assurance, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

I didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to be so sensible! It's worth it that I have done all the dirty work for so many years!

In that case, the position of Hokage is a sure thing!

Danzo couldn't help but feel excited at the thought that he would become the Fifth Hokage after returning victoriously.

"Huruzen, remember what you said. I hope you won't break your promise."

After saying this, Danzo's figure turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

It turns out that the one here is just a shadow clone of his!
