Simultaneous time travel: Am I the only normal person?

"Hiruzen, I am also very sad about Asuma's matter, but this is not a reason for you to mobilize several jonin to carry out the mission!"

"You are damaging Konoha's credibility in the five major countries by doing this."

Think about it, a "military organization" that sends out elite ninjas to retaliate and attack at any time.

No one wants such a bad reputation.

Although the ninja village is the white glove of the five major countries.

But in essence, it is not a national military organization, nor does it bear the responsibility of the military defense of the five major countries.

Compared to the formal "military organization", the five major ninja villages are better said to be five major mercenary groups.

The daimyos and nobles of the five major countries raise funds to support the five major ninja villages.

If the daimyos of the five major countries have a dispute, but cannot take the initiative to reconcile due to some things.

At this time, the role of the five major ninja villages comes into play.

The daimyos will not take the initiative to launch large-scale operations.

But let the ninjas fight to the death.

Whoever wins, this part of the benefits will be given to him.

If there are daimyo who are not convinced, they can wait for a rest and recuperation, and then send ninjas to fight back in a few years.

The ninja world is not that big, and the five major countries can firmly control the entire ninja world if they unite.

In addition, there are some small countries with unique characteristics.

The daimyo sit together to chat and drink tea, and rarely get red-faced and angry.

That is too un-noble and not in everyone's interest.

Anyway, it's such a big plate, everyone should just sit down and divide the profits honestly.

No worries about food and clothing, everything you want.

Why do the daimyo take the initiative to start a war when the material conditions are full?

Unify the ninja world?

Come on, in the past thousands of years, no country has truly unified the ninja world.

Didn't the ancestral country of that year perish long ago?

The daimyo are not stupid. Under the same strength, if they take the initiative, they will only be attacked by the three major countries watching the show.

Who knows, in a few hundred years, the five major countries will become three major countries, and then split into five major countries again.

As long as there are no ninjas like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, nothing can shake the foundation of the five great countries, nor can it attract the attention of the daimyo.

Besides, what's the point of appearing?

The one village one country system is the most suitable way for the ninja world that has been adjusted by the daimyo and nobles of various countries after a long time.

The civilians have adapted to such a system, and ninjas are no exception.

The so-called Ninja World War is just a war started by the ninjas themselves.

The battles involved are all ninja villages.

The five great countries will only distribute some supplies to prevent these ninjas from really exterminating themselves, and then some "small games" of dispatching troops will still need them.

Therefore, the ninjas of each village still have awe for the daimyo and nobles.

It is obvious that they are the ones who have mastered the extraordinary power, but the ninjas still honestly put their status in the position of subordinates.

In order to please the daimyo and nobles, they even took the initiative to compete with the samurai.

Over the years, except for the extremely traditional samurai country of Iron Country.

In other countries, the positions of samurai have been replaced by ninjas to a greater or lesser extent.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire are the most typical example.

The daimyo are not stupid.

They obviously know that the power of these ninjas far exceeds that of samurai, and even many of them are almost as strong as the miko.

So they took the lead in launching the reform of ninjas.

Among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, there are radicals who want to eliminate the Hokage and all ninjas must obey the orders of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The daimyo believes that the current tools will not betray, but the daimyo cannot guess what changes will happen in the future.

Who knows if there will be a second Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.

They need to prepare in advance to prevent the passive situation of that year from happening again.

Under the mutual infiltration of both sides, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the elder Shimura Danzo obviously retained respect for the daimyo.

So Danzo's accountability today is unreasonable.

Such an arrogant approach is good with the support of the daimyo.

The daimyos and nobles of the other four countries would give them a face and let the matter go because of the daimyos of the Land of Fire.

But if not.

You, the leader of a mercenary group, privately sent out your elite ninjas to avenge your son.

Isn't it a bit too disrespectful to the daimyos and nobles of the Land of Waves?

It is true that the Land of Waves is a small island country.

But the dignity of the daimyos and nobles cannot be violated by anyone.

In the face of Danzo's questioning, the Third Hokage did not refute, and he even wanted to light a cigarette and quietly watch Danzo's performance.

"So, what should I do?"

The Third Hokage "humbly" asked for advice.

Danzo seemed to be unaware of the Third Hokage's little thoughts.

"Immediately order the team to evacuate and bring back the literary giant in the village!"

"Hiruzen, if he is injured or has a bad impression of Konoha, I think you should know the consequences without saying more!"

Literati kill people without knives.

As an underground scheming person, he knows very well that if these great authors and literary masters have any opinions about Konoha, once they spread to the daimyo and nobles, what kind of negative impact will it bring to Konoha.

This is much worse than Hiruzen sending an Anbu team to "vent his anger" for his son Asuma.

"But how can we make him give up his original idea and bring him back calmly?"

The Sandaime Hokage took a puff from his pipe and slowly exhaled the smoke, filling the office with smoke.

Danzo couldn't clearly see Hiruzen's expression under the hat.

One eye somewhat affects vision.

"Oh, he's just an ordinary person." Danzo mocked, "If you can just use genjutsu, how can he still do it?"

Danzo stopped mid-sentence.

Needless to say, he and Hiruzen both grew up together.

As soon as Hiruzen stuck his butt out, he could tell whether the guy wanted to wipe it or slow down and continue squatting.

Ahem, it's a bit disgusting, but the relationship between Danzo and Hiruzen is really close.

They all understood each other's thoughts, he wanted to kill Hiruzen and become Hokage.

Hiruzen also knew what he was thinking, but he would not remove him from his position.

The most he can do is wait for him to jump into a pit and then be forced to spit out a lot of resources in his hand to redeem his life.

As for today's incident, the reason why the two of them were so concerned about Luke's safety was because of the pressure from the Fire Country's daimyo and nobles.

Therefore, in order to give an explanation to the people above them, they had to put on a play for them today.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they have to follow Luke's heart in everything.

After all, he is just a great writer, not the Hokage of the village.

Danzo, an old despicable man who has followed previous Hokages for decades, is very familiar with this kind of "big shot".

Especially the Nidaime Hokage's approach. Among the forbidden techniques he studied, there were many forbidden techniques related to illusions.

Although the second-generation Hokage may not be as powerful as the first-generation Hokage, he can always break the rules.

Even his disciples, the current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the elder Shimura Danzo, were somewhat affected.

It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen is more willing to be in line with the first generation Hokage.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given himself the so-called "Strongest Hokage" title in the ninja school textbooks.

But he is different. Danzo Shimura perfectly inherited the will of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama!

The Uchiha clan is inherently evil, so he teamed up with Weasel to destroy the Uchiha clan.

The study of ninjutsu must be bold and taboo, so he dug Senju Hashirama's grave and took off the eyes of the Uchiha clan.

Power must be firmly in his own hands, so he created the Roots and gave all members of the Roots the seal of tongue-tied evil.

Everything he did was to be like the Hokage.

Therefore, Danzo Shimura is truly the great leader who is good for Konoha!

He should be Konoha's Kage!

"Shimura Danzo! Watch your words!"

Danzo was 'taken aback'.

"Luke is the pride of Konoha. He is a literary giant that even the great names of the Fire Country admire! You actually want to use ninjutsu to confuse his will. It is a heinous crime!"

The Sandaime Hokage struck preemptively and said 'furious'.

Danzo reacted.

"Monkey, you."

Before he could continue, the Sandaime Hokage cursed loudly.

The elder Danzo, who was old, weak, sick and disabled, scolded him for a moment.

"I sent ninjas to better protect Luke's safety. Asma blocked the assassination in Kirigakure Village. He is Konoha's hero."

"Your accusation is a frame-up of Konoha's heroes. It makes me feel deeply ashamed and ashamed. How could Konoha treat heroes like this."

"It's okay if you don't repent, but you are so audacious! If you dare to attack Mr. Luke today, will you attack me, adults, or even... tomorrow?"

Good guy, you finally got a chance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen jointly reprimanded Danzo Shimura from many aspects such as collective perspective, personal perspective, political level, cultural level, life ideal, etc.

Every sentence is based on the bottom line that can make Shimura Danzo popular without choosing to completely fall out.

Danzo's face turned livid.

But he controlled his mouth and remained silent, silently enduring Sarutobi Hiruzen's scolding.

The drama has already begun, and he will definitely take the blame before leaving today.

What he said just now must have been recorded by Hiruzen.

If he makes any more violent comments next, Hiruzen will be able to gain more leverage over him.

Danzo understood that even if these words reached the daimyo's ears, they would not have much impact on him.

It's nothing more than being verbally punished and then cutting off the supply of resources at the root.

And as long as he behaves honestly and doesn't engage in small tricks, the daimyo won't hear these words, and he won't be held accountable.

It was Danzo himself who took the initiative to give this information to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also needed his handle to satisfy his request.

The more excited you are about scolding now, the more compensation you will get later.

"Ahem. Elder Shimura, you should understand Konoha's will of fire now, right?"

As expected, after scolding Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed, cleared his throat and asked.

Danzo's face was dark, and two words came out from his mouth through gritted teeth.

"clear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.

Just confess.

Next, according to the old rules, you should take the blame.

"However, considering Mr. Luke's safety, I will ask them to speed up the collection time."

"It's good that you know."

Danzo said coldly.

The two were silent for a while.

A breeze blew through the Hokage's office, and several ANBU took the initiative to retreat.

"Is it over yet?"

Danzo was leaning on a cane, expressionless.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his old face. The impassioned performance just now made him a little tired.

But he still had to cheer up, after all, Danzo, the greedy wolf, was still looking at him.

"Danzo, please, this is for Konoha's sake."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Why didn't he want to face the group of people above him openly?

However, Konoha is closely connected with the Fire Country in all aspects.

Most of the living supplies of the common people depend on the entire Fire Nation to support them, and the ninja family also maintains inextricably complicated relationships with the nobles.

They are inseparable.

No matter what, it is impossible for Konoha Village to escape from the Country of Fire.

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's hypocritical "kindness", Danzo was not moved at all. The monkey was old and always thought that this gentle way could make him change his mind.

After working on the Will of Fire for so many years, I guess even the monkey himself believes it!

"Hiruzen, you shouldn't have let him leave the village!"

Luke's identity is too sensitive, and he can be said to be a reserve noble.

If something really happened to him, it would be difficult for Konoha to explain to the Daimyo.

After all, the daimyo placed a reserve nobleman in Konoha with the original intention of testing Konoha's intentions.

Luke hadn't arrived at the Country of Yu yet. He had just passed through the Country of Waves when he was attacked by wandering ninjas.

Not to mention that Zabuza was born as a Kiri ninja, in the eyes of the daimyo, a ninja is a ninja.

They are just tools.

As long as it is a tool, anyone can become its master.

Who knows who is standing behind Zabuza.

Just treat the person who makes the most profit as the BOSS behind it.

What a simple truth.

Danzo and Hiruzen also knew very well about this group of shameless daimyo.

Therefore, they cannot let Luke make mistakes.

Again, Konoha cannot live without the Land of Fire.

"Letting my people pass will definitely ensure his safety, and it can also..."

Danzo couldn't help but persuade again.

The argument he had with Hiruzen just now was half true and half false, he did have some thoughts about Luke in his heart.

After all, such a sensitive person needs to be firmly in his hands.

"Danzo, Ninja ninjas are prohibited from leaving the village recently."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette.

"you!"

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Daimyo to explain."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo calmly.

Danzo looked uncertain.

What did Hiruzen know?

They had just put on a play, which was so clumsy that even the wise Daimyo wouldn't believe it.

But all the daimyo wants is their attitude.

Luke was attacked, and the Sandaime Hokage ignored the rules and sent elite ninjas to help.

As for the reason behind it, the Daimyo didn't care, he just wanted this result.

And he was very satisfied with this result.

As for Danzo, who took the blame, the daimyo wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

This will only make the daimyo more reassured, because Konoha Village is not the Hokage's one-word hall.

Not to mention, Danzo was originally one of the ninjas he sponsored.

So, was Hiruzen aware of something about his deal with the daimyo?

Danzo scowled.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take the blame and ask Hiruzen for a batch of resources.

Unexpectedly, instead of eating the meat, I almost got angry.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

Danzo snorted coldly, his expression extremely dissatisfied.

Even if Hiruzen finds out, what if he loses? He must be tougher on the spot.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and said in a deep voice.

Bang!

Danzo slammed the door and walked out.

The Sandaime Hokage looked at the old man who pretended to be angry and left, and shook his head slightly.

After all these years, he is still so easy to fool.

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is so thick, not understand his plan?

It's nothing more than turning a blind eye.

Anyway, the resources he obtained from the daimyo eventually ended up with the ninjas of Konoha.

Danzo, you still care too much about the name of Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage who served as Hokage the longest in history, thought so. (End of chapter)
