Chapter 197 Sarutobi and Danzo

Sarutobi Hiruzen's response was not what Che and Fugaku expected, but Danzo on the side seemed to have some ideas.

"Sarutobi, your foreign policy is too cowardly. Look at Konoha under your leadership. How can it look like the number one ninja village in the ninja world?!"

Danzo seemed to always have such a strong attitude when speaking in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Fugaku and Che were not surprised.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "What do you know? Konoha has just suffered a heavy blow. It is the time to recuperate. If the war starts lightly, it will definitely bring terrible consequences."

In fact, although Hiruzen Sarutobi's words are inevitably too dovish, as the Hokage of Konoha, especially at such a special time when the village just suffered the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the fourth Hokage died, he should indeed consider the consequences of the war.

However, Danzo was so enraged by Hiruzen Sarutobi's words "What do you know?" that he didn't consider Hiruzen Sarutobi's words at all. In other words, Danzo's temperament didn't care about the consequences of the war at all.

Danzo immediately jumped at the crime, "You are completely incompetent as a Hokage!"

Danzo was a bit too domineering to scold the Hokage for his incompetence.

Che thought of the many deeds of powerful officials in Japan who had no regard for their superiors in previous lives, but none of them were as outrageous as Danzo.

You must know that Naruto is the most powerful person in Konoha Village.

The Japanese emperor in his previous life was ignored most of the time.

Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen is a clay bodhisattva, he still has three points of anger. Now that Danzo has swelled to the point of scolding him for being incompetent in front of Sarutobi, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not prepared to give Danzo face.

"Remember, even if I am an incompetent Hokage, you are not even a Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't show off when he got angry.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said these words calmly, which directly caused Danzo to break his defense.

The change in Danzo's expression was extremely wonderful. After being speechless for a while, his anger rushed to Tian Ling Gai. However, it did not burst out, but was suppressed forcibly.

"Sarutobi, you will regret this."

Danzo said word by word.

"snort!"

After saying that, Danzo snorted, turned and left the Hokage's office, and then slammed the door shut.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard, with an unclear look in his eyes.

Fugaku and Che have some understanding of the grudges between the Three Generations and Danzo.

It is said that during the second generation period, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were both contenders for the position of Hokage.

Later, during the war, the second generation Hokage wanted to choose a person to be the successor. Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to propose himself. His character was recognized by the second generation, so he got the right to inherit the Hokage. The second generation Hokage died because of the separation. Yunyin Village is under siege by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers and their men.

This matter must have always been a pain point in Danzo's heart.

Just because his reaction was half a beat too late, he lost his right to inherit the position of Hokage.

But in Che's opinion, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, is not that competent, he is still much better than Danzo.

Konoha has developed peacefully for decades under the hands of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and has cultivated many strong men such as Sannin, White Fang, and Minato. The environment of the village is also relatively stable and harmonious.

If it were in Danzo's hands, any ninja who threatened Danzo would probably be dealt with by Danzo in the name of the village.

This difference can actually be seen when the choice was made.

Regardless of Sarutobi Hiruzen's character flaws, when it comes to the village, he will make choices that put the village first.

But Danzo is different. Ultimately, Danzo is an egoist.

When choosing a successor, Danzo's problem was not just his slow reaction time.

Danzo is simply unwilling to sacrifice himself to end his legacy.

However, judging from the style of the root organization, it can be seen that the members of the root organization are not afraid of life and death.

Danzo was really strict with others and lenient with himself.

Or to use the old saying that Che learned about China in his previous life to evaluate, "do great things but cherish your life, see small gains and forget your life."

This is Cao Mengde's evaluation of Yuan Benzhu in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is appropriate to describe Danzo's character. (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very popular in Japan)

So even though Che now has some suspicions with the Third Generation because of the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha's top management, Che still respects the Third Generation in his heart compared to Danzo.

"If there's nothing else, you can go."

"Leave the ANBU to handle the parade, and the Konoha police force can withdraw."

"Don't mention Uchiha's request for a fight again."

Fugaku and Che did not insist anymore and left the Hokage's office on their own.

The two came to the parade and told everyone the Third Hokage's reply, which caused a burst of boos.

"Hokage-sama is confused!"

"Yes! We are all thinking about Konoha."

Fugaku bowed deeply to the marching crowd and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm a light-hearted person and I didn't meet everyone's expectations."

Fugaku kept his attitude very low, which impressed quite a few people.

"It's okay, Chief Fugaku."

"This is not your problem!"

Che took the opportunity to say from the side: "Even if this petition fails, if Konoha needs us in the future, Chief Fugaku and I will definitely come forward."

"I didn't expect the Uchiha clan to be so loyal!"

"You really should have a son like Uchiha Che! Uchiha Che is strong, handsome, and loyal to the village. It's a pity that he already has a fiancée, otherwise I would have wanted to marry my daughter to him."

Che's words also won him the favor of most of the villagers.

Uchiha Yaowi and several members of the Konoha Police Force were stunned when they saw this scene.

Never before had Uchiha been so popular in the village.

These Uchiha tribesmen are engaged in the most basic security work in the Konoha police force. Not to mention boring, they can easily offend people.

In fact, they all long for recognition.

Seeing Captain Fugaku and Uchiha Che receiving so much support for petitioning for the people, they seemed to understand something.

“It turns out that you have to comply with public opinion to gain recognition.”

This sentence sounds very simple, but you need to actually experience it to truly understand it.

And Yaowei and the others now somewhat understand the meaning of this sentence.

Fugaku and Che waited until the ANBU arrived to disperse the procession before leaving.

In Konoha, Uchiha has always been the one to show off, while the Hokage has always been the one to show off.

But what happened today was that Uchiha played a red face, petitioned for the parade and petitioned for war on behalf of the Uchiha clan. On the contrary, the Hokage rejected the petition and sent ANBU directly under the Hokage to disperse the crowd.

This matter may not be considered a big deal.

But it will become a seed buried in everyone's heart, and one day it will take root and sprout.
