Land of Fire, Konoha Village.
Inside the Hokage building.
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En sat on both sides, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was in the middle.
As for Danzo, he stood in the middle of the three. He stood there, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. The one eye on the left was staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes were full of anger, but hidden deeper was a hint of relief.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. He put down the big pipe in his hand and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
"Danzo, what's wrong?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was full of doubt and uneasiness. He looked at the old partner in front of him who had always given him a headache, and a feeling of worry surged in his heart.
After hearing what the Sandaime said, Danzo's mouth corners slightly raised and he sneered.
"Lord Tobirama! Look at you! This is the Hokage you chose!"
He cursed the Second Hokage in his heart, and then threw a scroll to the three.
"Hiruzen! You still dare to ask what happened?"
Danzo's voice was hoarse and full of resentment.
"You are a Hokage, but you didn't know that you lost all the Jinchūriki in the village!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and he picked up the scroll that Danzo threw to him and read it carefully.
It recorded a series of pictures, which were the fragments 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 was frozen at the scene where Nagato's five fingers were attached to the Bagua seal on Naruto's abdomen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils contracted.
Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, and he 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 report from the spies I arranged in the Land of Waves, this person was seen using the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"As for the person who tried to unlock the seal of the Jinchūriki, he is exactly the same as the apprentice that Jiraiya once accepted in the Land of Rain. He should also be from a parallel world. In addition to the blood-red hair that shows that he is from the Uzumaki clan, he probably also has... the Sage Eye!"
In Danzo's mouth, Naruto has no name, he only has a title.
Jinchūriki!
This is Naruto's name!
"Where did you get these? Are they still in the Land of Waves?"
"Haha, as a Hokage, you are not vigilant at all! This is the news passed on by the intelligence department of the Root. It was you who arranged for them to go to the Land of Waves, right?"
Danzo's tone was a bit aggressive.
To be honest, it was also good luck. He arranged spies in two nearby countries to disguise themselves 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 spies did not convey the fact that Kakashi was captured. The spies there only played an ordinary role in transmitting information. People of that level naturally could not know Naruto's identity and the situation of Team 7.
He saw Nagato falling from the sky, and then built a cross-sea bridge, and Kado's death, which was suspected to be done by Konoha's ninjas. These two things were mainly reported to him.
Then he recorded what those people looked like.
What a coincidence, he happened to see the scene where the Jinchūriki and the seal were discovered.
"God help me!"
Danzo was a little excited. The third generation was old, and the fifth generation had been slow to choose a candidate. Now he made such a big mistake. If he volunteered to catch the Jinchūriki back, wouldn't the Hokage give up his position to him?
At that time, we will put some pressure on the daimyo, and then discuss it with Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En.
If it doesn't work... the power of this eye must be restored...
The position of Hokage... is within reach!
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what Danzo was thinking at the moment, and he picked up his pipe and took a deep puff.
"I did approve the mission to arrange for them to go to the Land of Waves."
"But... it's just a C-level mission, and Kakashi is always with them."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a complicated mood, and there was no expression on his turbid old face. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"C-level mission? Haha, since Jiraiya passed the message, we can say that the whole village has to be on alert, but you still let them leave Konoha?"
"Huruzen! If the Nine-Tails is lost, you can't blame it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very quickAfter making a decision, he stood up and said, "I will arrange for Jiraiya to protect Naruto now, and Jiraiya will definitely let him return to the village safely!"
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, the Eight Diagrams Seal on Naruto will definitely not be removed by the other party for a while, and now there is still a chance to make up for it!
"Arrange? I'm afraid that the Nine-Tails will be in someone else's pocket after you arrange it!"
"When the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, I told you that the Jinchūriki would be trained by me, but you just didn't want to!"
"No need to wait for you to arrange it, I'm on the way with the elites of the Root."
Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu beside him were relieved when they heard 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.
"Of course, as a root, I am the last guarantee of Konoha. But I want to say something in advance. Sometimes, if you sit in a position for too long, you will become numb. Shouldn't you give the opportunity to someone more capable?"
Danzo said this and turned around.
"Danzo, your ability has been witnessed by all of us for so many years. I am also old and unable to do it. 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 his best friend's goals and wishes had been all along.
Now that the parallel universe is about to invade, Sarutobi Hiruzen does feel a little overwhelmed. Perhaps letting the ruthless Danzo take the position can better lead Konoha to remain stable in this chaotic world.
Of course, a larger part of the reason is that the disaster is coming!
I am old now, and it may be difficult to solve any problems I encounter.
Rather than being the sinner who bears the responsibility and causes Konoha to suffer heavy losses, it is better to abdicate as soon as possible.
"My old friend, I'm sorry... I've been in office for so many years, and I've worked hard even if I haven't made any contributions. That's enough. Now I really should abdicate..."
Danzo didn't have so many thoughts in his heart. When he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's promise, he showed a barely perceptible smile on his face.
I didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to be so sensible! It's worth it that I've done all the dirty work for so many years!
In this case, the position of Hokage is a foregone conclusion!
When he thought that he could become the fifth Hokage legitimately after returning victorious, Danzo couldn't help but get excited.
"Hiruzen, remember what you said, I hope you won't break your promise."
After that, Danzo's figure turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.
It turned out that there was only one of his shadow clones here!
