Shimura Danzo is actually a good guy

Chapter 127 Passing away (third shift)
"It's a pity. Sarutobi, you can't see my success with this choice you made." Danzo muttered while sitting in the hotel room.

What he held in his hand was the letter delivered by Ryoma through the psychic beast, which recorded everything that happened to Konoha last night, and Jiraiya and Tsunade rushed to Konoha this morning.

Regarding the passing of the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, he was not happy about it, even though the other party once wanted to kill him, but it was still the same sentence, and the position was different.

When Sarutobi made that decision, he was already a respectable Hokage, even if some of his decisions were not perfect.

Although he is not the original Danzo, after playing with this old guy for such a period of time, he still has some feelings, just like the original body. Danzo wants this stubborn old guy to know that he is right.

Temporary peace can't last long at all, only true unity can make everything calm, but it's a pity that the old guy can't see it now.

"Master Danzo."

Nonoyu looked at him nervously and said, "Konoha now."

Staying in this small town for the past few days, compared to the few people who have been practicing, she has been watching Danzo passing the news through the psychic beast all the time.

Since the arrest of the scar-faced man, Danzo-sama has been channeling so frequently and dealing with affairs day and night.

"Konoha?"

Danzo turned his face to her calmly and said, "There will probably be no Konoha in the future."

The lightning strike only destroyed two-thirds of Konoha's buildings, but the ensuing battle nearly wiped out the remaining one-third of Konoha's buildings, and even Hokage Rock was affected and destroyed during the battle.

Fortunately, the material of the emergency shelter under Huoying Rock is strong enough, so that the people inside can survive intact under the burial of sand and stones.

"That"

No Naoyu's face was pale, and he opened his mouth to ask his children, when he heard that Danzo had already explained her worries.

"Don't worry, most of the people who didn't participate in the war survived. I also arranged for the roots of those children in the orphanage to be transferred. Now that Jiraiya and Tsunade have returned to Konoha, they should be stable for the time being. "Danzo replied.

And Nonaiyu also breathed a sigh of relief, although Konoha's destruction made her feel a little uncomfortable, but as long as the people she cares about are still there, that's fine.

"Only by sacrifice can there be victory." Danzo's face was calm, as if the destruction of Konoha seemed insignificant, and he really thought so in his heart.

Danzo was somewhat unexpected that the daimyo was able to gather such a huge force, and was willing to let Kazuma lose his country's force on such a large scale.

After all, there is an invasion from the Land of Winds, and the situation in the entire ninja world is quite severe. How much Konoha loses at this time is definitely related to the daimyo's own safety.

But although the facts have changed, Danzo didn't care too much. After all, this matter is irreversible. He regretted that he didn't do such things a long time ago. The key is to see the road ahead.

"Since Konoha has disappeared, don't rebuild it at all. It is a stupid thing to limit the existence of ninjas to the village."

Danzo's piercing voice rang in Nonaiyu's ears, "The newspaper will be delivered to every place in the Land of Fire by tonight at the latest, and everything about it will be displayed in front of the masses."

"Just take advantage of this opportunity, let me unify the entire Fire Nation! Then unify the entire ninja world and achieve eternal peace!"

In front of his most loyal men, Danzo revealed his true ambitions.

As Danzo said, at the moment the civil strife broke out, all the news was displayed in the eyes of the people of the Land of Fire through newspapers.

The ninja army of the Kingdom of Wind has arrived at the border, and the border defense can only rely on the city wall to guard the border. The news is passed around and waiting for domestic support.

In China, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was held hostage, and all the ninjas of the daimyo mansion, as well as the twelve daimyo guardian ninjas, all rebelled. They united with the surrounding small countries to attack Konoha, and the country had no ability to send support to the border.

The situation in the entire Fire Nation is in jeopardy, all the people are in chaos, and even some bandits in the deep mountains have begun to come out of the mountains and begin to migrate with the flow of people.

During times of war, things like burning, killing, and looting were commonplace. What these powerless civilians could do was to rush to the bustling area as soon as possible before the war was fully launched.

Ninjas are different from civilians. They can go anywhere. Flying over walls is the most basic method. Wars can break out anywhere. The more desolate the place, the more likely the enemy troops will march through those places.

Desolate small villages can only be slaughtered, and only prosperous areas have defense forces to resist the enemy, and only in this way can their safety be guaranteed.

Under normal circumstances, once a war starts, civilians without combat power will retreat to the interior of the country under the protection of ninjas, responsible for planting and smelting work, while ninjas stand at the forefront.

But the current situation is that the ninja village in their own country has been involved, and there is no way to allocate strength to help them. They can only gather together on their own.

If there are a large number of civilians, even in a war, the enemy country will generally not kill them at will, but will only collect and monitor them, and only groups with a small number of people will be killed.

"Master Danzo, isn't it good to publish this information?" Kakashi said looking at the chaotic town. The newspaper is in the hands of Danzo, and all newspapers can only report with Danzo's approval. He is very clear about things.

"They will know these things sooner or later. The situation in the Land of Fire is not optimistic. Give them a little time to prepare for more people who may survive." Danzang explained, "And we need a reason to gather everyone together."

"Gather together? Are we going back now?" Kakashi looked at Danzo with some doubts and asked, whether it was to return to the village or go to the border, Danzo needed to make a decision.

Danzo shook his head: "Go to the border according to the original plan, and bring all the civilians we saw along the way. We may not have enough people to give them hope."

"Bring civilians?!"

Kakashi's eyes widened, and the rest of them didn't understand Danzo's meaning.

"Hold the border? I alone is enough!" Danzo said with a smile, "But the people in the country need hope. This time the chaos not only makes them disappointed in Konoha, but also in Daimyo."

"Konoha, as an external force of the Fire Kingdom, is actually invaded by the enemy at this time, and even the daimyo is threatened by the enemy. If it is not appeased, even if this civil strife can end, there should still be large-scale population migration."

"Civilians are not like ninjas. As long as they want to, they can move to other countries at any time. They only need to go through a period of observation and they can easily go to other countries."

While talking, Danzo walked towards the tallest building in the town. He didn't want to wait until he got the Fire Country, and the population was reduced by half.

It was a tall lighthouse, responsible for illuminating the official road from the previous town to here.
