Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

The next day, the group gathered in front of the Mars Building.

Kakashi led his four team members upstairs and went straight to the Third Hokage.

Remus noticed that there was another person in the room, it was... Nabekage Danzo? !

That outfit is so classic that it's hard not to notice it.

When he looked at Danzo, Danzo was also looking at him. Logically, Remos should have retracted his gaze immediately, but he did the opposite. He looked Danzo up and down with pretended curiosity, without any intention of restraining himself.

Danzo was not annoyed by this. His expression was calm and he looked at Remos with the same curiosity.

Next to him, Naruto had already started making a big fuss, emotionally expressing that he didn't want to do any more crappy missions.

The third generation held a pipe in his mouth, puffing on it, looking at Naruto who was drooling across the table, and his eyes swept over the other people one after another.

He saw Sakura who was equally excited, Sasuke who was pretending to be calm, and Remos who was staring at Danzo... Wait, Remos was staring at Danzo? No, how dare he?

Oh, by the way, he still doesn’t know who Danzo is. Oops, what a mistake!

The third generation thought with some annoyance.

Then he looked at Kakashi, only to see Kakashi shaking his head slightly. The meaning was very clear - I've tried to persuade you, but it didn't work. Third Hokage, you handle it yourself.

The Sandaime sighed and tapped his pipe, interrupting the excited Naruto.

"Okay, I already know what you're thinking. I have a task for you..."

What follows is a scene that Remos is familiar with.

First, Dazna from the Land of Waves appeared, then Dazna and Naruto had a verbal fight, and finally Naruto decided to take on the task.

Although this kind of thing shouldn't be decided by him, and Kakashi should be the one to come forward, but who makes him the prince of Konoha? The third generation and Kakashi have agreed to let him choose, so naturally it is Naruto who makes the decision.

Sakura and Sasuke had no objections, and Remos had even less objections.

Before leaving, he looked at Danzo again, then turned around and left with everyone.

After they left, the Sandaime glared at Danzo in annoyance.

"Danzo, I warn you again, don't think about Remos."

"If he wants to come to me, Hiruzen, there is no reason for you to stop him."

Danzo said without changing his expression.

"That won't work either. Remus is an excellent young man in the village. He should have a brighter future instead of being driven by you to do those shady things."

"The profession of ninja should not be associated with words like sunshine, and what I do is for the village. As long as I can contribute to the village, it is enough. Hiruzen, you are too weak."

"Because I'm the Hokage, I'm responsible for the young people of the village."

"Humph, when it comes to protecting the village, I am no worse than you. It is not up to you to decide where Remus wants to go. It should be decided by him!"

“But there should also be elders to check on them!”

"You'll only hurt them if you do this."

"I have my own judgment, Danzo, and you shouldn't question my decision. Remos will never be eradicated, so just give up on this idea."

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you'll regret this sooner or later."

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

boom!

The two parted unhappily again.

In fact, ever since Remos showed his extraordinary talent in the practical class, Danzo has wanted to bring him into the Root organization more than once.

But Sandai discovered his idea in time and stepped forward to stop him.

During this period, the two had quarreled more than a dozen times because of Remos. Every time, the Third Generation won an overwhelming victory and suppressed Danzo to prevent him from attacking Remos, which led to today's direct meeting.

The result remains unchanged, the third generation is still as strong as ever.

He had long realized that Danzo and the Root were becoming too powerful to be eliminated. Ever since the Uchiha clan was exterminated, he had been deliberately weakening Danzo's power and restricting the Root from accepting new members.

In the past, Gen could easily find talented orphans in the village and recruit them, but now this path has been completely blocked by three generations.

Danzo had been quiet for a while, but recently he couldn't help but stick his head out again.

Remos was actually just an introduction. The fundamental reason was that Danzo wanted to gain greater power.

……

Remos was unaware of the quarrel between Danzo and the Sandaime.

He was thinking about whether he could get something from Danzo.

Of course he knew about Danzo.

Danzo is known as the Dark Lord of Konoha and is a representative of the Hawk Faction, known for his ruthless actions.

He was originally a member of the Second Hokage's guard team. During the First Ninja World War, the Second Hokage attended the alliance ceremony between Kumogakure and Konoha and was attacked by the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku. He was seriously injured by the Six Paths Ninja Tools and the Nine-Tails Chakra, and was once in danger of death.

Before breaking out, the Second Hokage said that someone needed to stay behind to cover the rear, which was actually a test for his successor.

As a result, Danzo was unable to speak due to his inner fear, and Sarutobi Hiruzen snatched away his chance to succeed the Third Hokage.

Of course, this is Danzo’s own opinion. From a third-party perspective, the second generation obviously prefers Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After the death of the Second Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen successfully became the Third Hokage. At that time, there were still many strong men of the older generation in the village, and they would not submit to such a young man. So Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just become the Third Hokage, had to delegate power to Danzo, support him in establishing the Root organization, and secretly deal with some things that the Hokage was not convenient to deal with.

As a result, this political structure of alternating light and dark has continued to this day.

In the original work, Danzo naturally did many things that angered God and man, the most famous of which was the Uchiha clan genocide. This guy is definitely a villain. Although he turned into a clown later on, he is a good villain as long as he has not been whitewashed.

Of course, whether he is a villain or not has nothing to do with Remos. What Remos is considering is whether he can get benefits if he gets close to Danzo.

There is no doubt that Danzo still has some resources in his hands. Although he has been severely suppressed by the Third Hokage in the past one or two years, the Third Hokage is somewhat indecisive. While suppressing Danzo, he does not directly kill him. Instead, he occasionally relieves the pressure on Danzo. As a result, except for the failure of Danzo and the Totoro to continue expanding, their original strength and influence have not been weakened much.

As a result, Danzo accumulated a lot of resources.

“This might be my chance.”

Remus stroked his chin.

Anyway, Danzo is the villain, so what's wrong with killing him?

It makes sense both morally and logically.

"Danzo-sama, you must come find me."

On the way home, Remos couldn't help but look forward to it secretly in his heart.
