Chapter 275 Innocence

"Danzo, what on earth are you going to do?"

He invited his old partner over, and seeing the cold expression on his face, the Sandaime Hokage was very angry.

"What? Of course it's for the prosperity of Konoha."

Faced with the anger of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo was very calm. He knew his companion very well and determined to become a Hokage who could bring peace to everyone like the first Hokage.

But whether it is strength, magnanimity or mind, they are far from the ninja god. In the end, I could only comfort myself with the boast of being the strongest Hokage.

It’s true that a tiger cannot be compared to a dog.

He didn't see at all that his old friend across from him was looking at him with the same look, and his inner thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

The only difference is that one is learning the first generation and the other is learning the second generation.

At this time, a man wearing an Anbu uniform appeared next to the Third Hokage, but he looked at Danzo next to him, hesitated, and said nothing.

"What happened? Danzo is not an outsider~"

"The ANBU unit 19 that was monitoring Nohara Rin was attacked, and Nohara Rin disappeared."

After hesitating for a moment, the ANBU suddenly appeared and reported the news to the Sandaime Hokage.

"What?"

"Nohara Rin is missing now?"

Upon hearing the news, the Sandaime Hokage was shocked and quickly began to ask about the specific situation. At the same time, he looked at Shimura Danzo aside.

"There were no casualties, but nearly twenty minutes had passed since the incident."

"You go down first!"

Seeing that there were no casualties, the Sandaime, who already had a rough idea, waved his hand and told the ANBU to retreat.

"Remember to pay attention to Uzumaki Kushina's emotions!"

Twitching his lips, the Sandaime Hokage had a headache thinking about how Kushina was angry last time. This time, Minato Namikaze was not here to help him calm her down.

"Danzo, what do you want to do? Don't you know what happened to the Three-Tails? Is it important?"

Looking up at his white gloves, the Sandaime Hokage asked sternly, his expression more serious than ever.

"If something goes wrong in this war with the Mist Ninja, I will..."

What am I doing? The Sandaime Hokage didn't say anything.

"If you don't have the Three-Tails in hand, what will you do to check and balance Namikaze Minato after he becomes Hokage?"

Faced with the Sandaime's anger, Danzo had many ways to deal with it. Just a single word made the Sandaime Hokage's expression change several times.

"Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Jiraiya, although they are all your disciples and disciples, in the end, they are all outsiders."

"Furthermore, Namikaze Minato has a very close relationship with the Inar, Deer, Butterfly, Aburame, and Inuzuka families. Even Uzumaki Kushina is a close friend of the Uchiha clan leader's wife. "

"Only me, Xiaochun, and Yan are your staunchest comrades. We will stand behind you and support you at all times."

Seeing the expression on the Sandaime Hokage's face, Shimura Danzo quickly struck while the iron was hot, and when he was done, he didn't forget to add a heart-wrenching sentence: "Can they do it?"

He knew best what Sarutobi Hiruzen had in mind.

Isn't it just that Namikaze Minato is young and has no foundation, and needs time to slowly cultivate his supporters, so he can use this gap to continue to control Konoha?

Although Sarutobi would eventually hand over his power to Namikaze Minato safely, he didn't know how long it would take.

Five years? ten years? Still longer.

Seeing that the Sandaime Hokage did not refute his words, Shimura Danzo felt very proud in his heart. The reason why I spent so much money this time was not just to plant a thorn in the other person's heart.

Nohara Rin or the three tails, these are not important. What is really important is Namikaze Minato who is in the water country camp.

He must take advantage of this opportunity to kick the other party off the list of Hokage candidates. The breakthrough was Uzumaki Kushina who stayed in the village.

This is really a God-given opportunity. If you make good use of this opportunity, you will be one step closer to your dream.

The Sandaime, who was disturbed by Danzo Shimura's words, did not change his purpose of ending the war because of the other party's words.

"No matter what, the three tails cannot be left in our hands. This will put us under too much pressure."

He is indeed planning to control Konoha for a few more years after Namikaze Minato becomes Hokage. This is because he loves power. Part of the reason is to observe whether Namikaze is a candidate worthy of entrusting him with the heavy responsibility.

In some aspects, the other party is really like the first generation. He is powerful, talented, and able to gain everyone's recognition. Sometimes he is also equally naive (especially when it comes to naming).

If he doesn't observe it carefully, he will really feel uneasy.

"Pressure? When is there no pressure? All we have to do is face the difficulties. Konoha's potential is far from being realized, and there are still many people."

There are still a large number of families in Konoha Village who have not been completely mobilized. Those families such as Uchiha, Hinata, and Kurama, all those who can go to the battlefield are on the battlefield.

But there are a large number of young people from Sarutobi, Shimura, Tenjin, Mitomon, and even the pig, deer, butterfly, and other families that rely on their Hokage line who have not gone to the battlefield.

Or like Minato's disciples, play ninja games in the village, perform some simple tasks, and accumulate experience while raising funds for the village.

Or dawdling in the government logistics department.

For the sake of Sanwei, it's time for them to play their part.

"you……"

Hearing what the other party said, the Sandaime was speechless.

"No, these people are the cornerstone of maintaining Konoha's stability. We cannot let them go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary!"

To maintain the rule of a village and make those murderous ninjas obey their own orders, it is not enough to rely solely on the will of fire.

This kind of usually inconspicuous people are protected by their Hokage line and are the cornerstone of their rule over Konoha. Although they are not very powerful, they have a large number of people. If they are all sacrificed, how can they still suppress the big families like Uchiha and Hinata?

Moreover, the pigs, deers, butterflies, and those families, they will be attached to themselves and others, is it just because of the covenant between them? If there is no real benefit, will they all listen to themselves?

We are all ninjas, so don't be so naive, just use the Will of Fire to fool those teenagers.

You are so old and you still don’t understand this?
