Hokage: Comrade Danzo

In Konoha 46, after Danzo's five-year plan, Konoha's strength has somewhat recovered, and this year is also the beginning of the real war.

Naruto Office.

"Danzo, is your news true and reliable?" Koharu asked when he went to bed. After all, this news was too shocking.

The four of them, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu, Mito Kaden, and Danzo Shimura, were in this room discussing news that would shock the outside world.

"It's very reliable, so I chose to speak out now and prepare for the worst." Danzo said. He persuaded Mito Kado and Koharu to come to the Hokage Building just to let Sarutobi Hiruzen know about the matter. severity and then deal with it.

"If the third Kazekage of Sand Ninja Village disappears, then who will succeed him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked. Danzo had always been controlling this matter, so we could only ask him.

"If it's Chiyo, we must be prepared to go to war directly..."

Hearing that the war was about to begin, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, Konoha could no longer withstand greater consumption.

"But Chiyo didn't, and instead supported another junior, said to be named Rasa."

"Where's the information about Luo Sha?"

"It's unclear at the moment. Many of our spies who got this information are already dead, so we can't expose more."

"No matter what actions Rasa takes after taking office, we must be prepared to deal with it." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and thought about the defense of the Fire Country's border.

"I've already laid it out. All that's left is the cooperation of the ANBU." Danzo took out a map and spread it on the table, pointing to the various junctions between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. Danzo seemed to have overstepped his authority, but thinking that it was for Konoha, he didn't say anything.

"Why do we need so many defenses here at Platycodon Mountain?" Men Yan pointed at Platycodon Mountain.

"This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Sand Ninja Village were to start a war, why wouldn't they choose this place?"

"This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack for us. What if the Sand Ninja Village attacks from inside the mountain?" Danzo said the key point.

"This..." Men Yan didn't know what to say. Who would have thought of attacking from here?

"Duanzo is right. If a war breaks out and the Suna Ninja uses puppets to open the way... it will indeed be easy to break through. You can add defense here, but other places must still be strictly guarded." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Money and food are not enough. The daimyo may..." Xiaochun said. The daimyo seems to be in the process of changing power. The old daimyo is about to die of illness. The power struggle between normal people is more intense. How can the daimyo allocate funds now?

"I'll find a way over to the Daming Mansion and let Senju Tsunade go to the battlefield at any time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what Danzo meant, because all the ninjas who had fought with Suna Ninja Village knew that in many cases they died not from ninjutsu or puppetry, but from poison. And Tsunade's ninjutsu and her medical knowledge can definitely take on the responsibility of detoxifying.

"I will personally go to Daming Mansion in the near future." Danzo said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo in confusion, and Danzo nodded.

"Okay, I will send someone to deliver the passport documents to your house later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood that Danzo planned to interfere in the election of the new daimyo of the Daimyo Prefecture, and hoped that Danzo would not go too far. After all, if the Ninja Village was found to be controlling the Daimyo Prefecture... Konoha would have a hard time.

Danzo, who walked out of the Hokage building, looked back at the window of the Hokage's office, looking at the reflected light... I hope Konoha will always be so strong. This system of the Daimyo Prefecture controlling the economy of the Ninja Village... How did the first Hokage come up with it?

At this time, the future Uchiha genius, Uchiha Itachi, had been born four years ago. Well, he hadn't even passed his fourth birthday yet, so he wasn't even four years old.

When Danzo was two years old, he came to ask Uchiha Fugaku to accept him as a disciple. Originally, Uchiha Fugaku was very hesitant, but he did not expect that the young Uchiha Itachi himself came forward to recognize Danzo as his teacher.

Danzo was not disappointed. Uchiha Itachi's talent was extremely high. The most important thing was that at a young age, his thinking was already beyond that of his peers, but he was still in the stage of ignorance on some level.

Danzo walked down the street and bought some vegetables, and bargained with the fishmonger to buy three fish.

"Kakashi, come out!" Danzo shouted standing at the door of Hatake's house, and Kakashi came and opened the door after a while.

"Danzo-sama, I won't go today." Kakashi said. After what happened to Hatake Sakumo, Danzo would invite Kakashi to his home for dinner, even though Kakashi would be the one cooking. But now Kakashi still has to perform a mission, so he can only invite him at night.

"Are there any guests at home?" Danzo noticed a sound in the courtyard.

"They are companions and friends. We are in the same team."

"Then I'll give you these three fish. It seems you haven't gone shopping for vegetables yet, right?" Danzo gave the fish and vegetables to Kakashi.

"Thank you, Danzo-sama."

The two chatted for a while, and then left with Danzo's lame excuse of "suddenly remembering something else."

Danzo has always acted like a good uncle in front of Kakashi and seems to care about him. This also makes Kakashi not as sad as in the original work, which is a good thing.

Because all the food was given to Kakashi, Danzo had no choice but to go to Fugaku's house to eat.

When they arrived at Uchiha Fugaku's house, Uchiha Mikoto was packing Itachi's things, because Uchiha Itachi had to go to Danzo's house for dinner and training in the evening, and Kakashi usually cooked.

"Lord Danzo, will you come to pick him up in person today?" Mikoto asked after seeing Danzo.

"Oh no, let's eat at your house today. When Fugaku comes back, we can let him see how I train."

"Ah? Okay, I'm going to cook now." Uchiha Mikoto kissed Uchiha Itachi and went to cook.

Itachi's always calm face smiled slightly at Danzo: "Teacher, what are you teaching today?"

"When your father comes back, just show him your usual exercises. Only the two of us know about the special training I give you." Danzo squatted next to Itachi and whispered in his ear.

Itachi nodded quickly a few times and made a very cute "hmm" echoing sound. Danzo saw it and touched Itachi's head.

"Come on, let's take the teacher to your backyard to test the basic skills first."
