Chapter 323 The Third Hokage and Shisui

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is his son and the current ANBU minister of Konoha. He possesses the strength of an elite Jonin. If he trains for several more decades, he will have the opportunity to reach the Kage level.

The third generation of Hokage has always had the idea of ​​​​training Sarutobi Shinnosuke, running for the next Hokage or becoming the next Hokage.

It is a pity that Sarutobi Shinnosuke is not enough to run for Hokage in terms of strength or merit. Putting it in the position of ANBU Minister is already the limit of Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

If Danzo was replaced by Shinnosuke...would the frontline war be easier?

The Third Hokage fell into deep thought, then shook his head slightly and gave up the plan.

Firstly, Shinnosuke is not strong enough to lead the team behind enemy lines. Secondly, Shinnosuke does not have enough darkness in his heart, so he cannot be as decisive as Danzo in dealing with some problems.

The most important thing is that once you take the position of root leader, you will stay here for the rest of your life.

After giving up the idea of ​​letting Shinnosuke replace Danzo, the Third Hokage also gave up the idea of ​​letting Kakashi replace Danzo.

The Third Hokage didn't care about Kakashi's future, but Kakashi was not qualified to replace Danzo at all.

Compared with Shinnosuke, Kakashi not only does not have many qualifications, but his hard power is even worse.

After thinking of this, the Third Hokage carefully thought about whether he was suitable to replace Danzo, and finally sighed softly.

There is no second Danzo in Konoha, and he still cannot leave Danzo. There are some things that only Danzo can do, and only Danzo can complete on his behalf.

I just don’t know what harsh conditions Danzo will put forward this time.

…

Half an hour later, the Third Hokage appeared at the Root Organization base.

After entering the Root Organization Base, the Third Hokage couldn't help but frown as he looked at the brand new Root Base.

He knew that he had given orders to rectify the Root Organization, and had also mentioned in meetings that the Root Organization was too dark and inconsistent with the Will of Fire.

But when did you Danzo listen to my opinion? It actually really made a big transformation to the roots.

But is this transformation too thorough? It doesn't look like the roots at all, but rather like a ninja school filled with the will of fire.

Everything Danzo does has deep meaning, and there must be an ulterior motive for transforming the root base.

Danzo doesn't really want to clear his name and go ashore.

After a few curses in his heart, the Third Hokage continued walking deeper into the base, and soon saw Danzo sitting on an office chair reading a book.

The book in Danzo's hand is not some inappropriate reading material for children, but the notes written by Senju Tobirama.

Seeing this scene, the Third Hokage felt even more uneasy.

After noticing the footsteps of the Third Hokage, Shisui raised his head. He squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the Third Hokage and said, "Sandaime, why do you have time to visit me, an idler?"

The Third Hokage casually found a seat and sat down, stared at Shisui and said, "Danzo, whenever you behave like this, you have already studied the books written by the second generation teacher."

"Of course it's to study Tobirama-sensei's spirit. I used to manage the root department every day and didn't have any personal time. Now that I'm relaxed, I must pick up my old hobbies."

Having said this, Shisui handed Tobirama's notes to the Third Hokage, and then said: "Sarutobi, you can also read more of the notes left by Teacher Tobirama at ordinary times. You will have different feelings when you read them at different times."

When he had just replaced Danzo's identity, Shisui acted very cautiously, fearing that if he did anything wrong, it would arouse the suspicion of the Third Hokage.

However, as the playing time increased, Shisui had adapted to Danzo's identity, gained a new understanding of Danzo's identity, and began to interpret the role of Danzo from different angles.

Changing the decoration style was the first order he gave, and he received praise from Lord Bai Ye.

Moreover, Byakuya-sama also told him about Danzo's style as a ninja. Danzo's biggest characteristic is that he wants to become Hokage, and he always likes to use Senju Tobirama's views to suppress the Third Hokage.

From then on, Shisui began to read the books left by Senju Tobirama, and gradually recognized the views in them. For example, Uchiha was born evil, and so were the ninjas of the Senju line.

If the Uchiha clan are all villains, then all the Senju clan are hypocrites.

The village of ninja established by villains and hypocrites out of necessity will sooner or later become infighting due to interests and gradually die out.

The Third Hokage did not pick up Tobirama's note and asked with a cold face: "Now is not the time to ask this. Why did you refuse my order and refuse to lead the roots to fight on the front line?"

Zhisui took back Tobirama's notes and said disapprovingly: "The Roots have been disbanded. I can't rush to the front line to perform the mission with just myself. It's not that I refuse the order, but that I have no choice."

The Third Hokage looked at Shisui and said: "You think I will believe that you have disbanded the roots. When has your root been really disbanded? Why don't you temporarily send them out to perform tasks and they will return soon."

Zhisui shook his head and then said:

"The past was before, and the present is now. After solving the Uchiha clan's troubles, the roots have lost their opinions on existence. Naturally, I will not retain additional manpower."

"Besides, after the Uchiha incident, it is not suitable for the Roots to show up again, otherwise it will arouse the vigilance of the major families in Konoha. Isn't this your original intention of disbanding the Roots? Why do you still come to ask me."

The Third Hokage frowned: "The frontline needs roots. Without roots, we will lose more manpower in the war with Iwagakure."

While Shisui continued to study his notes, he said: "Destruction behind enemy lines is not in line with the will of fire. Compared with temporary gains and losses, I think ensuring the will of fire is more important."

The Third Hokage was stunned. He felt that Danzo seemed different from before, as if he was a different person.

When Danzo and Danzo quarreled before, he was the one who talked about the will of fire, but now Danzo has become inseparable from the will of fire. Opening and closing his mouth is the will of fire.

After staring at Danzo closely for a few seconds, the Third Hokage stopped delaying and said straight to the point:

"The village needs Roots. Please give me your conditions. I can restore Roots' funds, and I can also agree to a condition that does not violate the will of the fire."

Hearing this, Zhisui raised his head again and said with a half-smile:

"Sarutobi, I really have a condition that I need you to agree to. Since the Roots are an organization affiliated with the Hokage Building, any actions taken by the Roots require the endorsement of the Hokage. This also includes the future destruction of the Roots behind enemy lines. These orders must have Formal documents must be issued by you personally.”
