Chapter 199 Second Choice

"Assassinating Hokage?

Che had a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

Danzo sneered and said, "That's right."

"The Third Hokage is the Hokage, the backbone of Konoha." Che said righteously, as if he was a loyal supporter of the Third Hokage.

Danzo said disdainfully: "Sarutobi has been sitting in the position of Hokage for too long. It's time to step down and make way for someone worthy of his position."

"The death of Yondaime was originally an opportunity for him to retire, but he was greedy for power and still held the power of Hokage."

"Do you think he is a good person? If he is really as great as he advertises, then during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he should be the first to rush forward and die with the Nine-Tails, instead of waiting for other ninjas to charge into the battle. Waiting for the fourth generation to come to the rescue."

"I remember that Yuhi Zhenhong's original injuries were enough to cause death. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would have died."

"I know he is very important to me, and you and his daughter are engaged."

"If Sarutobi hadn't been cowardly, how could Yuhi Zhenhong have experienced such a disaster?"

"Besides, your current situation as Uchiha was also caused by Sarutobi."

"Don't think that I am the evil person. In fact, the treatment of Uchiha was completely decided by Sarutobi. I was just pushed out to be the evil person."

"It would be nice of him to give you the already free area as a training ground. It seems like a gift from him to you Uchiha."

"The same goes for this time. It was clearly Kumogakure who provoked us first, but Sarutobi stood still and tried to resolve the border conflict peacefully. It is simply stupid."

"That's all I have to say. Whether you agree or not will not affect my decision."

Danzo said this and looked at Che quietly, waiting for Che's response.

Danzo said a long paragraph, but Che heard it was just nonsense.

Che himself did not regard Sarutobi Hiruzen as the perfect Hokage. There was no filter, and there was no reaction that Danzo expected.

However, Che is no longer pretending to be a fan of the third generation.

After all, what Danzo said makes sense.

Ultimately, this is just a matter of stance.

Sarutobi will naturally not be a perfect Hokage. His strength is not as good as that of the first Hokage, and his strategic courage is not as good as that of the second Hokage.

But one thing Che was sure of was that he would be better than Danzo as Hokage.

It is true that Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance in the Nine-Tails Rebellion was not outstanding. As the Third Hokage, he was powerless just to push back the Nine-Tails. He also caused many casualties by commanding the ninjas to fight against the Nine-Tails.

But Danzo stood still during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is just not good enough, it is a lack of ability, and Danzo is simply not qualified to become Hokage.

However, Che didn't stand up and point it out. After all, there was no need to completely break up with Danzo now.

"Lord Danzo, I have not been here tonight."

Che had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

First of all, Che believed that the success rate of Danzo's successful assassination of the Third Hokage was not high, and even if he succeeded, Che would not be willing to join forces with Danzo, which would be detrimental to his reputation.

Secondly, Che didn't want to use violence against Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It's not that Che can't kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, but direct killing is the lowest method in political struggle.

This is not a simple and crude assassination, but a real replacement.

As for Danzo, let him play by himself.

After Che said that, he turned around and left.

Going out, Che noticed the layers of ambush laid in the root organization's base.

The ninjas of the Root Organization are distributed up and down in this underground base.

Presumably if he had shown his loyalty to Hokage just now, he would have been fighting with the Root Organization by now.

Che paid special attention to the boy codenamed A.

"Mudun Experimental Subject? It seems that it is necessary to go to Orochimaru's place."

Che walked out of the Root Organization base grandly under the gaze of the Root Organization members.

"Hmph, there's no way to make a fool of yourself!"

Danzo was very dissatisfied with Che's attitude.

Although Che said that he would not interfere in this matter, this attitude still did not satisfy Danzo.

Danzo is an egoist, and he wants everyone to obey him.

"Uchiha Che, Uchiha, since you have no use value, then you are only a threat."

"As for threats, the village will spare no effort to deal with them."

Danzo had already sentenced the Uchiha clan to death in his heart.

"But Uchiha's Sharingan is a good thing. I can get more in the future."

Danzo leaned back on his seat and stroked his bandaged right eye with his hand.

This eye is none other than the Sharingan, the eye of Danzo's late teammate Uchiha Kagami.

Uchiha Mirror once belonged to the escort team of the Second Hokage along with Danzo.

Later, Uchiha Kagami died in a mission, and when Danzo saw Kagami dying in front of his eyes, what he wanted was not to avenge his teammates, but to covet Kagami's eyes, so he hid the eye privately and transplanted it into his own right eye. Eye.

This eye is the Three Magatama Sharingan, which Danzo uses as a trump card.

But now, Danzo was interested in Che's blue eyes again.

"There seems to be something weird about Uchiha Che's eyes, and they seem worth grabbing."

"But that will have to wait until I become Hokage before I can plan..."

Danzo closed his eyes and fell into imagining the position of Hokage.

Danzo's own character is flawed, and now his desire for power has distorted his thinking.

After a few minutes, Danzo came out of his reverie.

"Since the Uchiha kid is unreliable, I can only choose to use the second candidate."

"Hatake Kakashi."

………………………

As the sun set, Kakashi came to Konoha's cemetery as usual.

Kakashi had just returned to the village after completing the ANBU mission. He was still wearing the gray vest of the ANBU, revealing the ANBU symbol tattoo on his left arm.

It can be seen that he came to the cemetery immediately without even having time to change his clothes.

Because his two companions, Obito and Lin, are buried in the cemetery.

"Obito, Lin, I'm back to the village."

"This mission was delayed a bit late because the enemy's strength was a bit tricky."

"Fortunately, I defeated the enemy with Raikiri. I thought, if I had such strength back then, maybe you wouldn't..."

"I'm sorry, Obito, I didn't protect Lin well."

"But don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer of Lin and avenge Lin."

Kakashi placed the bouquet in front of Obito's grave. After a moment of silence, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Hatake Kakashi, do you want revenge?"

A voice came from behind Kakashi, but Kakashi didn't notice it in advance, which showed that the strength of the person who came was not ordinary.

Kakashi turned around suddenly and saw that the person who came was really Danzo Shimura, assistant to the Hokage and leader of the Root Organization.

"Lord Danzo."

"Let me ask you, do you want revenge?"

Danzo didn't pay attention to Kakashi's respect. Danzo, the Hokage's assistant who was inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people, should have suffered enough from these compliments.

What Danzo wants now is to go one step further and become above that person.

Kakashi choked for a moment, then gathered his emotions and said: "I want to avenge my companions, but Obito died on the battlefield with Iwagakure. The murderer should be killed by me, and I also know that this is just A fight between opposing ninjas on the same camp, even if you kill the enemy, it still feels like it has no effect."

"And I still don't know the identity and purpose of Lin's murderer, so there's no way to avenge him."

Danzo said: "I can tell you who your enemy is."

"Who?!" Kakashi suddenly became excited, thinking that what Danzo was going to say was Lin's murderer.

The answer Danzo gave shocked Kakashi.

"It's Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage."

"Impossible! How could Lord Hokage kill Lin?" Kakashi rejected this answer.

Danzo smiled and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that Sarutobi killed Nohara Rin."

"But you have to know that Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin both died in Konoha's foreign war, and the one who planned the war and sent you teenagers to the battlefield was the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"Even so..." Kakashi still wanted to defend Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Danzo interrupted Kakashi's words and continued talking on his own.

"Apart from your two companions, the one you care about most is your teacher Minato Namikaze and his wife."

"During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Minato didn't have to die, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't come forward to fight the Nine-Tails, forcing Minato to sacrifice himself to seal the Nine-Tails."

"It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen is the murderer who indirectly killed your teacher."

"Plus planning a war and sending young ninjas to the battlefield to kill two of your companions."

"It's not an exaggeration for me to call him your enemy, right?"

Danzo looked at Kakashi, who was silent and did not respond.

Danzo continued: "What I want to do is to change everything and help you deal with this enemy of yours."

"And you just have to do me a small favor."

"What's the business?" Kakashi raised his head and followed Danzo's words and asked.

The corners of Danzo's lips curled up, feeling that there was something interesting, "As long as you use your position to bring me the latest travel information of the third generation..."

Danzo has two candidates to use to assassinate Naruto.

One is Che. Che's frontal combat power can be said to be the best in Konoha today, so he can kill the Third Hokage regardless of intelligence.

But since Uchiha Che was unwilling to wade into this muddy water, Danzo thought of his second choice.

Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi and Che were once listed as the two geniuses of Konoha. Although Kakashi's strength has now been surpassed by Che, one advantage Kakashi has is his identity.

Kakashi is an ANBU ninja directly under the Konoha Hokage, and is also the son of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo and a disciple of the yellow flash Namikaze Minato.

This identity can gain the Hokage's trust more than Che.

Sarutobi Hiruzen must have never imagined that Kakashi would choose to betray him and choose Danzo.

As for Kakashi's lack of strength, it doesn't matter.

Naturally, Danzo has ninjas with established organizations to choose from, such as the Wooden Ninja Armor that he carefully cultivated.

A is the only surviving baby who participated in Hashirama's cell transplantation experiment. He was discovered by Danzo and hid him, and he has been trained to be very powerful now.

Moreover, the wood release ninjutsu mastered by A will definitely shock the third generation and reveal its flaws.

After all, the Wood Release Ninjutsu has been tied to the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, the God of Ninja.

All these made Danzo feel confident that he could successfully assassinate the third generation.

"How? What's your decision?"

Danzo looked into Kakashi's eyes. Kakashi drooped his eyes and couldn't see clearly.

"Just...want information?" Kakashi spat out a few words hesitantly.

Danzo immediately felt that the matter was settled and the advantage was mine.

"That's right."

"I'll give it a try." This was Kakashi's reply.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Very good, those who know the current situation are heroes. You made the right choice. When the big thing is successful, I can make you the captain of the ANBU." Danzo boasted that he had learned how to draw pancakes before he became Hokage.

Kakashi didn't respond, and Danzo felt that the matter had been settled and left.

Kakashi stayed in place for a long time before taking any action.

Back home, Kakashi has been struggling.

Although he promised Danzo, it was just a formal compromise.

But Danzo's bewitchment did affect Kakashi's mind.

While Kakashi was hesitating, he thought of someone.

"Maybe I should ask Che first..."

Kakashi walked to the door of his house, but stopped, his palm hanging above the door handle for a moment, then he retracted and walked back to his room.

"We can't go there blatantly, I'm afraid Danzo's men are already watching me now."

Kakashi's guess was correct.

Danzo has arranged for the Root Organization ninja to follow Kakashi to his home for surveillance.

Once Kakashi makes any changes, he will immediately report it to Danzo.

Kakashi waited until late at night.

Under the moonlight, Kakashi used the shadow clone technique to create a clone, and let the clone stay at home to disguise himself while he quietly climbed out of the window and left.

Kakashi's operation successfully deceived the surveillance of the Root Organization ninjas and came to Che's door quietly.

Kakashi was at the door hesitating to sort out his words, when the door opened by itself.

"come in."

Che let Kakashi into the house without asking any questions.

Kakashi was already accustomed to Che's keenness. He was about to explain his purpose, but Che beat him to it.

"I guess Danzo is looking for you too."

"What?! How did you know?" Kakashi was extremely surprised, "Wait, you said... too?"

Che nodded calmly and said: "Duanzo approached me and asked me to help him assassinate Hokage."

"What did he tell you?"

Kakashi replied: "Danzo told me that Sandai is my enemy. He planned the war that killed Obito and Rin, and indirectly killed Rakuzumon-sensei during the Nine-Tails Rebellion."

"What do you think?" Che asked.

"I think... what Danzo said is not impossible, but I can't accept it, so I came to ask you."

Kakashi expressed his dilemma.

Che nodded and looked at Kakashi, "You made a right choice, otherwise I'm afraid you would have been tricked by Danzo into becoming a gun user."
