Chapter 1123 Tough
A small change early on will have a growing impact over time.
Daimaru can only use it as a reference for the future in his memory. Many times, big events that are too far ahead and require many coincidences to happen may no longer be exactly the same as in his memory.
The most typical example is that there are already doubts about whether the child of Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi who was pregnant before marriage will still be a daughter, and whether she will be a sassy kunoichi named Mirai Sarutobi.
However, due to differences in some details, Jiraiya was not dead, and the possibility of Danzo Shimura acting as Hokage was greatly reduced.
Even if Tsunade is seriously injured and comatose, the number one pick is not the "Darkness of the Ninja World".
Danzo Shimura, who is over seventy years old, can no longer wait patiently. With each passing year, the hope of becoming Hokage becomes slimmer.
Therefore, every hard-won opportunity must be grasped.
It is precisely because of the sense of crisis that he would think of making great military exploits, taking this opportunity to move from behind the scenes to the front desk, and officially compete for the throne of the Sixth Hokage.
A greed and impulsiveness caused the "Darkness of the Ninja World" to fail again.
Coincidentally, it also fell into Daimaru's hands.
In the impression that Nagato attacked the village, Shimura Danzo and his "Root" organization did not show much of their appearance. This time they went out in large numbers. It seems that the "Darkness of the Ninja World" is really anxious.
Daimaru admits that he is not a person with a high IQ who knows everything and can make every plan. The so-called advanced layout is only based on advance prediction of the future. His ability to be a mastermind behind the scenes is compared with that of Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu and others. , still far from it.
"You don't seem to be very happy about subduing this old guy..."
Seeing Daimaru's delay in responding, Kurama Yakumo asked with a smile,
"Are you worried about me interfering? Controlling the 'Darkness of the Ninja World' is nothing to me. Neither I nor the Kurama family have any special goals that require the cooperation of the 'Root' organization..."
As for recommending Shimura Danzo to become the Sixth Hokage, it is a thankless and troublesome task.
"maybe!"
Daimaru echoed casually.
Kurama Yakumo himself is not weak, but the Kurama family's presence in the ninja world is too weak.
The key is that there are not many people, and those who become ninjas are even rarer. The entire family is already one of the top chaebols in the ninja world. Money and personal interests can no longer attract her. Her early wish to become a ninja has been realized. , and overfulfilled.
With such a detached posture, his behavior becomes more arbitrary.
"For Suna Ninja and I, the original general plan has been finalized, and everything is being implemented step by step. Money, power, people, resources, and distribution all have their own places. Now that we have such a sweet treat coming to our door, ', but I don't know how to use it..."
This is like an entrepreneur setting up a factory and having everything arranged. Suddenly an unplanned loan comes and he doesn’t know where to spend it. If he uses it well, he will naturally get to a higher level. If he doesn’t use it well or doesn’t use it, he will be stuck. Interest, opportunity costs and maintenance costs will be lost out of thin air. If not handled properly, it will drag down the original plan.
"Clam……"
Kurama Yakumo, who seemed to understand what Daimaru was thinking, responded,
"A pie falls from the sky, and it turns out to be golden. It's too big to catch..."
The Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui on Shimura Danzo is of amazing value, as well as the right arm and the transplanted first-generation cells, which are all good things.
But if you want to make use of them, you still have to work hard.
Do you really think the Mangekyō Sharingan is plug and play?
That is an ability that can only be possessed by close blood descendants who are powerful to a certain extent, and not just any ninja can do it.
The terrifying corrosive instinct of the first-generation cells is not as gentle as that of the White Jue clone cells. It is more terrifying than the most ferocious germs or cancer cells, and it cannot be used without some skills.
"If there are still three to five years left, there will be a chance. However, in a year at most, the Ninja World War will begin. With so many things to do, how can there be time to 'deeply cultivate' Shimura Danzo's value?"
It's really not that Daimaru is perfunctory or pretentious. There are too few special talents in Sunagakure Village. If there are research talents like Orochimaru or Yakushi Kabuto under his command, they can handle it.
In terms of the foundation of developing ninjutsu, Sunagakure Village can't keep up with Konoha Village. Except for the fields related to puppet masters, it can't be expected. But to open up new fields, Daimaru has to do it himself.
"I'm so busy..."
Even the puppets and "artificial elves" with different abilities mostly derive their abilities and insights from Daimaru. Whether it is scientific research or ninjutsu development, it is something that requires the collision of wisdom from different individuals to advance faster.
There is no talent to help, this is a flaw.
Due to the lack of generals and management talents, Daimaru even worried about dead people like Luo Sa and Ye Cang. Scholar-type researchers need to be cultivated from an early age and given a proper growth environment.
Even Daimaru himself is just a half-baked person. The puppet technique combined with what he learned in his previous life can solve many problems, but it cannot solve all problems.
Technical issues aside, the identity of Shimura Danzo is also very subtle.
"take it easy!"
Kurama Yakumo advised,
"It's better not to accept the benefits you get. Even if you stop now, it's too late. You should think about how to end it..."
end?
Daimaru curled his lips!
As the culprit who forced the Uchiha family to rebel and destroyed them, he was bound to stand on the opposite side of Uchiha Sasuke.
Even if he was hiding in Konoha Village, he would definitely come to kill him.
Instantly, a detail came to mind. Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan in Uchiha Itachi's hand was now on Uzumaki Naruto, preparing to make Uchiha Sasuke learn the truth about the genocide and become the enemy of Konoha Village. Is it used to resolve disputes?
Logically speaking, this should be the case. Uchiha Itachi was already dying, so there was no reason why he would not arrange this key matter.
Wouldn't it be better if we got this Mangekyo Sharingan in advance and paired it with the other one in Shimura Danzo's right eye socket?
In my impression, after Sasuke Uchiha killed Danzo Shimura, he got his revenge and reconciled with his former compatriots.
"I... thought of a good ending!"
The enlightened Daimaru suddenly spoke to Kurama Yakumo,
"Do you think a vigorous death is more dramatic?"
"Um?"
Kurama Yakumo asked with great interest,
"What else do you have in mind?"
"How do you call it a ghost idea? That's called the beauty of adulthood..."
Daimaru shrugged and replied calmly,
"Although Danzo Shimura is not likeable, he has a bad reputation, and there is indeed no substantive betrayal of the leaf village. If the villagers of Konoha know about it, if he has the opportunity to become the sixth generation of Hokage, he will be heroic in Uchiha Sasuke's revenge. He died in battle, preserved his reputation for a lifetime, and entrusted his position to the Seventh Generation before his death... I think Sarutobi Asuma, the bearded man, is very popular, and he is the only one. He is arranged properly, and each 'role' can You got what you hoped for..."
Moreover, Sarutobi Asuma's rise to power also gave Nara Shikamaru extra points in disguise, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, a very ideal ending.
"Are you... trying to prevent the successor of the third generation of Hokage from taking over? Does Nara Shikamaru being the Hokage suit you so much?"
"A leader who likes to use his brain and is unemotional in official matters is the least bad choice..."
Daimaru replied with a smile,
"Uchiha Sasuke, who killed the previous Hokage in full view of the public, what do you think his future will be like? How will his relationship with Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi and others evolve?"
Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura will still have the opportunity to perform a bitter love drama. Will Hinata Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto have a life-or-death confession?
It’s easy to change old people’s hearts, but they say old people’s hearts are easy to change!
How many sad love stories, the ignorant first love of boys and girls, have all come to nothing as time passes by.
Whether there will really be earth-shaking changes, Daimaru cannot predict.
If the sky is falling in the ninja world, the tallest one has to hold it up first.
A strong Konoha Village is what Daimaru hopes to see, but a happy, united Konoha Village will become trouble again.
The best Konoha Village is the Konoha Village that is powerful enough to protect the ninja world and has no time to point fingers at other ninja villages.
Feeling the vicious mental fluctuations emanating from Daimaru, Kurama Yakumo also responded very cooperatively:
"You...are trying to add more variables to the simple and clear bond between them? People's hearts are complicated. The more they grow up and become more sophisticated, the more numb they become..."
"Of course, I believe that these people are good children with great ideals, lofty goals and pure hearts, and they will all have a bright future. However, the happiness obtained too simply seems to lack a little sweetness; Slightly increase the difficulty, and the day you break through the difficulties and get what you want, the sense of gain will be more fulfilling..."
The family love between you and me, the battle between justice and evil, the good guys win, and the bad guys gain enlightenment after being defeated. It seems good, but it is too straightforward.
Add a little trust and betrayal, misunderstanding and resentment, and it seems to be more exciting. Add a little love for family and country, the last wishes of fathers and ancestors and other royal themes, and the plot will be much fuller.
"It feels like your emotions are starting to rise. Have you reached a conclusion?"
Kurama Yakumo asked narrowly, and Daimaru looked at Shimura Danzo who was motionless and replied:
"This guy has been working hard all his life, but he still hasn't become the Hokage. If I help him, it's not impossible to make his wish come true. It can also improve his reputation and end his career as a tragic hero. It's worthy of him. He..."
It's better than being the villain and having a group of people applaud him when he's killed.
"What you say makes me, a serious Konoha ninja, so embarrassed! Can't you just be normal?"
"It's more difficult!"
Daimaru sighed.
From the beginning, he stood on the opposite side of one of the two saviors favored by fate, and the ending was destined not to be good.
"What about you? As a rising star of Konoha ninja, being 'promoted' and being reused seems to be a natural thing..."
"You have made all the arrangements, so you are not afraid that my ambition will expand and I will do something detrimental to you?"
Daimaru shrugged and replied nonchalantly:
"I am just taking precautionary measures to prepare for a rainy day. I am contributing to the smooth election of the village chief and stabilizing the situation for our allies. I have never thought about how to harm our comrades! As for you, just do whatever you want and don't reveal your secret. good……"
His speculation on people's hearts and his confidence in his own strength made Daimaru not worried about being plotted by Kurama Yakumo.
"You really speak with confidence and pride. I hope you won't regret it when something happens?"
"When you mention this, I get excited. What do you mean by 'certain things'?"
It was estimated that Kurama Yakumo would not tell the truth frankly. Seeing that she was avoiding answering, Daimaru did not continue to ask.
"Now that you're ready, let's start! Tsunade's side can't hold on any longer. The prestigious 'Darkness of the Ninja World', with his seriously injured body, is on the front line in person. With a determined command, he should be able to bribe a lot of people. Damn it! Tsunade and Jiraiya are still too young. They have provoked such a powerful enemy within a few years of taking office and caused such heavy losses to the village. It seems that they have to have mature and prudent seniors to take charge of the overall situation. Okay..."
"You just hit me hard like that without any care?"
Kurama Yakumo covered his mouth and snickered, Daimaru replied nonchalantly:
"Then what else can we do? There is still Jiraiya in front of me, so I can only rely on my old age to show off my strength, be stronger, show off my seniority, take the lead, and create a fait accompli..."
Anyway, it was Shimura Danzo who was embarrassed, not Daimaru.
Jiraiya's attitude towards the position of Hokage who refused to refuse to be elected as the Sixth Hokage is still between two and one, but he will definitely not snatch the position of Hokage who already has his master.
If you bully others, the proud and honest people will be bullied.
"Go ahead, go ahead, I'm waiting for your performance!"
How should I describe my position as village chief being plotted against by others?
For Kurama Yakumo, it was actually an insignificant matter. Except for a few friends who had spoken a few words, they were not taken seriously. As long as Daimaru didn't hurt them, Kurama Yakumo didn't bother to care.
As Daimaru said, he didn't really want to do anything bad to Konoha Village, he was just trying to push it onto a more unpredictable and unknown road.
…
When Danzo Shimura, who was controlled by Daimaru, came near the collapsed Hokage's house, he saw the fifth generation of Hokage Tsunade, who was already so tired that he was slumped in the lounge.
Due to depletion of chakra and the trauma of several battles, Tsunade, who showed her true appearance as an old woman, was supported and managed to maintain her composure.
"It seems I came at just the right time..."
"You? Danzo, aren't you seriously injured?"
"It seems that there are some impure people in the 'root'. You know that I have been defeated so quickly..."
Shimura Danzo glanced around. Except for Tsunade, there was no one who could talk to him on an equal footing. With Tsunade half-paralyzed, taking over the center was completely effortless.
"The Fifth Generation is not in good health. I will take over all authority for the time being. Anyone who disobeys orders will be dealt with according to wartime regulations. Above!"
