Chapter 89 I am the Acting Hokage!
Danzo and his friends tried their best to escape to Konoha.
After a large number of shadow clones split the chakra equally, it consumes a lot of his body.
At this moment, he had less than one-twentieth of the chakra left in his body, and he was extremely weak and embarrassed.
Stop talking about Payne.
If a jounin shows up at random, it could kill him!
Fortunately, he has escaped hundreds of kilometers and should be out of danger...
Because the clone died too quickly.
Danzo didn't know the situation of the three of them, nor did he know what the casualties of that temporary unit were.
But thinking about it is definitely not optimistic.
Sacrificing so many Konoha ninjas to escape for his own life?
Danzo didn't know when he became like this. Looking back on when I was young, I dared to fight against the Kumo ninja troops alone!
Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
He no longer dared to think deeply about it. He just wanted to escape back to Konoha and escape with his life.
I’ll consider the others later.
It would be best to send the information back so that Hiruzen and the others can prepare!
"That's right!"
"You must bring the news back, I am still useful alive!"
"Their sacrifices are all worth it!"
"Don't be afraid!"
Danzo tried his best to find excuses for himself, comforting himself and deceiving himself.
As for Naruto and all.
He didn't even dare to think about it.
Someone must take the blame for this defeat.
He led the army into battle in full view of the public. The villagers don't care about the specific reason. They only know that you led the Konoha troops to lose...
With things like this, no matter how comfortable he licked Hiruzen, he would never be able to take the blame for himself.
It’s all the damn [Rain Ninja Village]’s fault!
It's all Hanzo's fault!
I, Shimura Danzo, will never let you go!
…
An hour later.
Danzo finally escaped to an area more than a hundred kilometers away from the village.
And here, in advance, he met the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who personally led the team to the expedition!
As early as half a day ago, that is when the temporary troops were defeated.
Sarutobi learned of the defeat on the battlefield in time through the secret techniques of the Yamazaka clan.
Then they quickly began to organize manpower and mobilize troops to fight against the next wave of offensive that was about to arrive in Yu Ninja Village.
And set off an hour ago, heading northwest.
This time.
Sarutobi almost drained the Leaf Village dry!
Not counting the more than 10,000 main troops that had already been engaged in the Kumogakure war, all the remaining troops that could be mobilized were mobilized.
The 3,000-strong remaining ninja troops all attack!
no way.
It's better to fight a hundred miles away from the village than to be beaten at the door of the village!
The [Battle of Platycodon Mountain], in which Konoha was beaten to the entrance of the village in the previous three battles, was an extremely shameful example; not only did it cause heavy casualties, it also directly weakened Konoha's prestige.
This caused [Iwagakure Village] to immediately send additional troops, thus starting the [Battle of Kannabi Bridge].
If Konoha is fucked by [Rain Ninja Village] again, the consequences will be immeasurable.
For example, in reality, [Asan Kingdom] can attack [American emperor] at its doorstep. Do you think other countries will see through the weakness of American emperor? Will he be ready to make a move?
to this end.
Even though he had officially 'retired', Sarutobi still had to lead an army in person.
Trying to do everything possible, and also wiping Danzo's butt by the way.
Otherwise, after Danzo comes back, he may really be unable to bear the blame!
…
Danzo's eyes suddenly turned red after seeing Sarutobi.
For the first time in so many years, he was defeated so completely that he really wanted to talk to Sarutobi.
After all, Sarutobi was the only one in the village who could have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, and the other two advisors were far behind.
But not yet arrived.
From a distance, Danzo saw that guy Hinata and Hinata!
That guy actually escaped back on his own!
And he was talking to Sarutobi and others, reporting on the specific battle situation.
Danzo was startled and rushed forward, fearing that Hizu would expose the dirty things he had done...
But when I thought about it carefully, I immediately pretended to be innocent again.
After all, the scene where he tricked Zhu, Deer and Die into committing suicide was covered by the poisonous mist.
No one should see it.
Otherwise, Danzo would be all doomed.
Therefore, Hyuga Hizu could at most accuse him of having unfavorable command and cowardice before fighting.
Danzo could have excused himself by saying that the enemy was too strong and he was unable to resist, so he could only choose 'strategic retreat'.
Although others might not believe it, it would be fine as long as Sarutobi didn't pursue him.
"Hiruzen!"
"Danzo!"
"I……"
"I already know the situation. If you lose, just lose."
"you……"
"The enemy is indeed too strong. It's not your fault that we were defeated if we were not well prepared."
"Hiruzen!"
Danzo felt warm in his heart, feeling Hiruzen's infinite tolerance for him.
Sure enough, the old guy is the best!
No matter what happens, I will protect myself and forgive myself...
"Well, it looks like you're in a very bad state."
"You go down and rest first."
"From today on, you don't have to worry about these problems. I will remove you from the position of Assistant Hokage, and the [Root] of ANBU will also be completely disbanded!"
"?!!"
Danzo was shocked and his face turned dark.
Depriving him of his position and dismantling his power would be even more uncomfortable than killing him!
"Impossible, you don't have this power!"
"I have!"
"I am the acting Hokage!"
Sarutobi said extremely calmly: "No, you are not anymore!"
"Hiruzhan, you..."
"This is also for your own good. You will understand in the future!"
"Besides, don't make the situation too ugly!"
Sarutobi waved his hand, and four ANBU ninjas flashed in front of Danzo to prevent him from doing anything irrational.
No one knew his best friend's desire for power better than Sarutobi.
But if you want to save his life, removing him from his position now is the lightest punishment.
Danzo's face was ashen, he didn't expect Sarutobi to be so decisive.
At the same time, he also saw the two Jiraiyas behind Sarutobi.
Danzo was even more furious.
"Jiraiya! And Tsunade! You..."
OK!
When you were in power, you two hid and didn't give me any face.
Now as soon as Sarutobi goes out to fight, you two will immediately come back to join the war, right?
He is indeed a good disciple of Hiruzen!
I didn’t lose unfairly!
Danzo never doubted Minato from beginning to end, he only thought it was because Hiruzen was unwilling to be left alone and wanted to rise to power again.
Only then did they find Jiraiya and a few others, preparing to win another round.
To regain the reputation he lost in three battles!
…
final.
Danzo still gave in, and was completely defeated.
He was led down by several ANBU ninjas and medical ninjas. He was left alone and silent the whole time, at his mercy.
Before actually becoming Hokage.
Almost all of his power comes from Sarutobi.
As long as Sarutobi was determined to abolish his position, there was nothing he could do...
He obviously always wanted to defeat Sarutobi, but he always relied on Sarutobi's protection. This was what made Danzo the most unwilling! The source of most wanting to be Hokage!
"Why--!"
Watching Danzo being escorted away, Sarutobi sighed secretly.
But he didn't have time to sigh.
Because according to the information:
The Rain Ninja troops are heading towards Konoha and will arrive here in two hours at most.
At that time, it will be a real tough battle!
It might even be a tough battle that determines Konoha's life or death!
