Chapter 429 Quarrel
"Okay Hiruzen! I see you're getting better and better!"
Danzo Shimura stood up and said unceremoniously.
Although he is no longer the Hokage, he still has to fight for power with his own grandchildren. This is so disrespectful for an old man that even Shimura Danzo felt his face burning!
If that's the case, then why did you pretend to resign as Hokage in the first place?
Isn't it because he doesn't want Danzo Shimura to take over the position of the Fourth Hokage?
"The longer I live, the more I go back?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened and he looked towards Danzo Shimura by the panoramic window.
"Isn't it?! I'm getting less and less courageous. What if I'm not afraid of death?"
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a buzzing in his head, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He took a deep breath and looked at Danzo, with pain hidden in his face.
"Do you even think...that I stopped Minato from starting a war because of my selfish motives? Are you afraid that if Minato comes back victorious again, I will no longer be able to suppress him?"
call!
Sighing softly, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's disbelieving eyes, for some reason, Shimura Danzo's heart skipped a beat, and he unnaturally averted his eyes, choosing to remain silent.
But his silence undoubtedly meant acquiescence in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"hehe......"
He smiled sadly, staggered back two steps, and then stood there in a daze, as if he had been stunned for an instant.
Although Minato's stubbornness made him angry, what made him heartbroken the most was that his lifelong old friend didn't understand him at all...
a long time.
Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen regain his composure.
He glanced at the two people in the office with indifferent eyes and spoke without any emotion in his voice.
"Am I timid? At my age, I don't need to go to the battlefield! What else is there to be afraid of? But have you ever thought about whether the village can still start a war in a short period of time, not long after the three wars stopped? Are there any supplies left in the reserves? Are the ninjas just machines who only want to throw their heads and blood all day long? Don’t the villagers just want to live a peaceful life for a few days? You go out for a walk! Take a look! Which household is not the same now? There’s a white cloth hanging at the door!?”
"People's hearts have long since given up on war!"
After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, opened the door and walked out without any hesitation.
Bang!
The office door slammed back.
The entire Hokage office was shocked.
Namikaze Minato and Shimura Danzo each turned to look out the window, dazed.
The white cloth all over the world is swaying in the wind.
That is the endless longing of the Konoha villagers for their deceased relatives!
......
In the endless forest, a large group of people were on their way.
The entire team was pulled hundreds of meters in length, like a straight giant python, quickly crossing the forest.
There was a hint of setting sun on the horizon.
The warm orange light that penetrated diagonally into the forest was gradually becoming fainter.
"Go down and tell us to speed up! We must get out of the Kingdom of Fire before sunset! Enter the Kingdom of Sichuan!"
"Ah? Elder Ebizo, why is this?" Ma Ji looked at the old man beside him in surprise.
During the negotiation process, Konoha has made it clear that it needs some time to prepare for war. Why is Ebizo rushing back to Sunagakure Village so eagerly now?
"Do you want to give the Fourth Generation a surprise? Tell him that he can rest tonight?"
Ma Ji thought with some teasing in his heart.
Ebizo shook his head. “There’s no reason, it’s just an intuition from the bottom of my heart that made me choose to do this.”
He looked at Marky and urged again. "I'm going to speed up, let them keep up!"
"this......"
Looking at the old man's retreating figure, Ma Ji's face was full of doubts.
With the lineup of their team, as long as they are not ninjas from the five major countries, who can do anything to them?
And in the Land of Fire, they have already reached cooperation with Konoha. It is impossible for any wandering ninja to dare to take action against their Sunagakure mission, right?
"Elder Ebizo's temper is really..."
Marky shook his head, not knowing what to say.
But no matter from which aspect, he has no possibility of rejecting the other party's decision.
......
Ma Ji's figure came to the front of the large army, where five Sunagakure jounin and twenty elite chuunin gathered, serving as the protective force of the entire mission.
As for the remaining dozens of ordinary members of the mission who were not dressed as ninjas, they were all genin named Sunagakure, but they were dressed as diplomats and disguised as ordinary people.
It exists to cover up other people's eyes and ears. At this time, it is running on the ground at the fastest speed that ordinary people can achieve.
The pace slowed down in front of the team, and Maki stood on the same front as the several Sunagakure Jonin captains in front.
Then he spoke softly. "The elder has spoken, speed up, we must reach the Kingdom of Sichuan before dark!"
Hearing this, all the Sunagakure jounin were slightly startled, but their good qualities prevented them from asking why and quickly chose to follow the order.
"Understood! Lord Markey!"
Immediately, the five Sunagakure jounin announced to the team members scattered around the periphery of the team the notification they had just received.
"Speed up and keep up with the pace of Elder Shanghai Laozang!"
"Yes!"
......
As a senior intelligence worker, Ebizo knew that there were actually two leaders in Konoha at the moment.
That is the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The two of them each lead a governing team and seem to not interfere with each other, but in fact they are secretly competing with each other.
Ebizo actually finds this kind of power struggle not surprising.
Such a situation is unavoidable no matter which ninja village you are in. Perhaps only Yunyin, who believed in strength, was relatively better.
This kind of power struggle is actually what Ebizo is happy to see, because it will inevitably greatly affect the development of Konoha.
The weaker the enemy, the better for Sunagakure.
only......
Thinking of the faint feeling of being spied on in the reception room, it always made Ebizo feel uncomfortable.
But specifically who, where, and through what kind of sensory ninjutsu was used to peek, Ebizo couldn't tell.
He didn't even know the other party's purpose, or whether it was another defensive force arranged by Namikaze Minato in secret.
But Ebizo just felt an inexplicable uneasiness, especially this feeling became more and more obvious the further away from Konoha Village.
