Konoha No Susa

This root member named "Jia" looked at Kakashi's back and slowly formed seals in his hands.

"Leaving your back to the enemy like this is a big taboo for ninjas."

Kakashi didn't look back at all.

"Because we are both ninjas of Konoha Village, we are companions, not enemies."

"A"'s ninjutsu was not released in the end, and his hands hung down weakly.

Muttering to himself: "Companion?"

In the village on the other side, Danzo sat alone on Hokage's chair.

"Is this what it feels like sitting on a Hokage chair while bathing in the sun?"

"Hizan, the village will always dominate the ninja world under my leadership, so I can only be sorry."

"I have gained the support of many families, let me replace you for the rest of Hokage time."

The body leisurely turned around on the chair, counting the time, it should be over there.

Danzo, who closed his eyes and meditated, was completely unaware that someone came in.

"Sorry, I haven't planned to give this chair to anyone other than the fourth generation!"

Danzo was startled by the sudden sound, clapped his hands on the table, and stood up.

Standing in front of him was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage who was going to the Daimyofu, and Danzo's monocular eyes widened instantly.

"It seems that you want to ask why the old man is still alive?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Danzo's answer trembled a little.

"No, no, I just think you should be back soon, Ri Zhan."

"It is indeed coming back soon, and everything that happened will be known by then."

"In that case, the person behind the scenes will surely escape death."

On Danzo's unwrapped face, the cold sweat was clearly visible, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing that the general situation was over, he could only fight to the death, but what Sarutobi Hiruzen said next gave him hope again.

"However, the old man does not advocate adding unnecessary sacrifices."

Danzo raised his head instantly, and listened carefully to what Hiruzaru Sarutobi wanted to say.

"If I meet that person, I want to tell him that I will not pursue this action."

Danzo opened his mouth in surprise, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe, and then said: "In exchange, I hope that person will do his best for Konoha Village in the future."

This kind of behavior of the third Hokage, the kindness towards the enemy, and the delusion of trading in exchange for peace, this is what Danzo dislikes the most, and he couldn't help but "hum" coldly.

Chapter 64 Roots in the Darkness

"You still uphold pacifism as always. Your naivety will catch fire one day, Hiriza."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked to the window of Hokage's office and looked at the entire Konoha Village. This is a place worth protecting with his life.

"Well, maybe, but no matter how you get peace, it should be cherished."

Danzo knew that he was defeated, and he was defeated completely. From the beginning to the end, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was firmly in control, and all his thoughts could not be hidden in his eyes.

Walking out of Hokage's desk and walking towards the door, there was only the sound of clogs stepping on the floor.

"Da~da~da~"

"It's been like this since before. You are light and I am darkness. Where there is light, there must be darkness. But if one of them is missing, the world will no longer be smooth."

"You are the leaf bathed in the sun, and I am the root in the darkness. Konoha, a big tree, cannot do without the support of the roots."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't answer Danzo's words at all, until Danzo left Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes.

"This is the last time, Danzo."

From acquaintance when they were teenagers, to performing tasks in the same team after graduation, until the second Hokage Senju Tomona was ordered to succeed Sarutobi Hiruzaru as the third Hokage on his deathbed, watching Danzo go all the way to where he is today.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt both the guilt of being a close friend and the guilt of letting Danzo bear the darkness of the village. Various emotions in his heart were intertwined, so he said what he just said.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen could do, he could only choose to forgive him.

Before leaving the village, he changed identities with Kakashi and rushed to the Daming Mansion alone. Although the application for maintenance funds was a bit tortuous, he still completed the mission and brought back the money he needed.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stepped downstairs and walked to the disaster-stricken area.

The villagers and ninjas are doing their best to assist in the reconstruction. The dilapidated streets have already been restored, and the affected houses are still being repaired slowly.

"Three generations of adults are here!"

"Look, the third Hokage-sama is here to help us!"

The people affected by the disaster stopped their work one after another, and all surrounded Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

Although he will no longer be able to wear Hokage's Royal God Robe, nor can he wear a Hokage hat, but his face can be recognized by the village name, which is already very happy.
