Chapter 1457 Beating

"Each family is part of Konoha Village. We can't let them feel disappointed."

Danzo Shimura was delighted. Sarutobi Hiruzen meant what he said on the surface. He didn't want to disappoint so many ninja families.

But just don't let them feel disappointed.

Just let them 'automatically' contribute some elite clan members to the Root. There will also be some elite disciples of the family who think they should contribute to the family and take the initiative to enter the Root. All they need to do is to remind Danzo Shimura.

Anyway, no matter what, the Ninja family cannot express any opinions on the surface. As long as the Ninja family does not complain to the Hokage, then it will be fine.

How could Danzo Shimura not understand what his old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi meant?

As he got older, his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more indecisive and worried about gains and losses. He was afraid of losing power and was also worried that the next generation of Hokage would weaken his Sarutobi family. He was hesitant and no longer had the heroic demeanor of a young ninja.

"They won't have any objections." Shimura Danzo replied in a deep voice with a calm expression, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

"Huruzen, your heart has become weak. Only I... am still upholding my teacher's will." Danzo Shimura's determination has never disappeared, and his obsession with becoming Hokage is growing stronger every day.

Only I am qualified to be Hokage!

  Hiruzen, you are so weak that you are no longer qualified to sit in that position!

Every time he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting on the position of Hokage, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but recall that he hesitated for just a second and the position of Hokage fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen. Danzo Shimura felt very unwilling in his heart.

At that time, a rebellion broke out in Kumogakure and they refused to sign a peace agreement. The rebel Kinkaku and Ginkaku forces were very powerful, and Senju Tobirama and others fled in a hurry.

In order to allow his men and the main force to retreat safely, someone had to act as bait to lure away the enemy. When Senju Tobirama decided to act as bait to cover everyone's retreat, Shimura Danzo hesitated for a moment. At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up without hesitation and expressed his willingness to cover the retreat. Therefore, Senju Tobirama directly chose Sarutobi Hiruzen to temporarily take over the duties of the Third Hokage.

It was that moment that made Shimura Danzo regret for the rest of his life, and it became a regret that Shimura Danzo could never get rid of.

Especially when they returned to Konoha Village, many families did not recognize Senju Tobirama's designation of Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage and were very dissatisfied.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's teammate, Danzo Shimura became the An of Konoha and did all kinds of shady things for Sarutobi Hiruzen in secret.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu became advisors to Konoha Village, standing closely beside Sarutobi Hiruzen and assisting him in handling policies.

Akimichi Torikatsu eliminated many of the opinions of the ninja families, and with the help of the Ino, Shika, and Chou families, he successfully secured the position of Hokage.

Not to mention the many battles he experienced, Sarutobi Hiruzen eventually proved himself on the battlefield and in Konoha, and completely secured his position as Hokage.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Hokage, the scene of him hesitating for a moment and losing the position of Hokage kept gnawing at Danzo Shimura's heart, making him go crazy with hatred.

"Danzo, take a look at this information on spies from other ninja villages." Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was revealed in the smoke as the smoke dissipated. There was some coldness in his eyes and an expressionless face. He threw the most recent document in his hand, which contained information on spies from other ninja villages in Konoha, directly in front of Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Might Guy to chase the escaped intelligence officer, not because Might Guy was meticulous, but because Might Guy was careless.

Secretly, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sent a team of Anbu to deal with it.

But he didn't expect that Might Guy was too strong and directly blew up the spy ninja on the opposite side, and even the bodies were scattered all over the ground. Of course, all of this was within Sarutobi Hiruzen's tolerance and expectations, as long as the information was not directly sent to other ninja villages.

Those intelligence ninjas did not take away much confidential information, and the most information they had was just some superficial information about the Root, which Sarutobi Hiruzen could still accept.

But what he couldn't accept was that the Root could actually make such a mistake, allowing intelligence personnel from other ninja villages to obtain some information about the Root.

  What is this, this is dereliction of duty at the root!

Danzo is too slow and needs to be taught a lesson!

"This is..." A gleam of light flashed in Shimura Danzo's slightly narrowed eye. His heart skipped a beat and he was a little frightened.

He almost thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen had seen through the escaped intelligence officer and realized that he was the liaison between himself and Orochimaru.

Danzo Shimura pretended to be ignorant of the matter and opened the document in front of him. He saw that the border commander, Konoha Jounin Fushimi Kentaro, was nearly beaten to death and was being pulled back with only one breath left by Might Guy. He couldn't help but feel that Orochimaru's men were of little use. They couldn't even kill a Konoha Jounin. Orochimaru was really down and out.

After seeing the report made by the ninja at the border of Konoha, Might Guy's battle record, and the fact that he failed to find the symbol of his ninja village at the first time, Danzo Shimura, whose face was slightly gloomy, breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Root must keep an eye on the Uchiha clan. It was indeed my negligence that I did not find the intelligence ninja from his village in time." Shimura Danzo said with a gloomy face, "The Root is weak. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again next time, we need ninja from other families to supplement it."

Danzo Shimura knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had not discovered that he was in contact with Orochimaru, so he took the opportunity to show weakness and ask for a help.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he laughed.

Originally, I just wanted to warn Danzo Shimura and make him pay attention.

The Uchiha clan was certainly worthy of their careful discussion and treatment, but the intelligence ninjas from other villages could not be neglected either.

As a result, they still made requests to me.

"Since the scope of Root's responsibilities is rather large, in order to avoid negligence, I will reconsider adjusting the Root's structure, narrowing its authority, and carefully checking its funds." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, which made Shimura Danzo's hair stand on end.

The Anbu founded by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, can be said to be a sharp sword in the hands of the Hokage. However, during the period of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo Shimura established an Anbu training department under the Anbu, which is the so-called Root.

With the tacit approval of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Root was hidden deeper than the Anbu, and under the leadership of Danzo, they eliminated all threats inside and outside the village with the attitude of "rather kill by mistake than let the guilty go".

Although the Root is nominally the training department of the Anbu, it is actually Danzo's personal private department. It has done many things for the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen that cannot be seen in the light. Of course, in order to better perform the Root's tasks and realize his dream of becoming Hokage, Danzo Shimura spared no effort to build the Root.

"There's nothing wrong with the roots!" Shimura Danzo couldn't help but twitch his face, and could only lower his head and respond in a dull voice: "I'll pay attention."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with the village of Danzo and lowered his head, and began to teach loudly: "Danzo, although the Root..."

It was not until there was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office that Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped knocking and continued talking to Shimura Danzo with a look of unfulfilled desire.

"Please come in."

Might Guy, who came to report on his work, opened the door of the Hokage's office, and a foul smell instantly filled the Hokage's office.
