Starting as a part-time worker from Naruto

"Yes."

The Anbu ninja had to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen the news: "There is news of Shimura Danzo's defection in the Ninja World, and there are even rumors that Danzo has contacted other enemy ninja villages..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain was struck by lightning.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu also found it hard to accept this matter.

As good friends for many years, they have been friends for sixty years. They believed that Shimura Danzo might commit all kinds of crimes, but they never thought that Shimura Danzo would defect from Konoha.

however……

The rumors in the ninja world are very true.

There are even people claiming that Danzo Shimura founded a new ninja village, that Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru were in cahoots, and that Danzo Shimura defected to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen held a pipe in his hand and could hardly believe it. However, Konoha had not received any message from Danzo Shimura himself during this period.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood was particularly complicated. He always thought that Jiraiya's desire to hunt down Orochimaru and Hatake Kakashi's desire to track down Uchiha Obito were somewhat naive, which made people feel distressed.

however……

Sarutobi Hiruzen experienced this feeling.

I was doing well as a Hokage, but I was about to reach retirement age...

I’m almost seventy years old…

My companions defected...

The feeling that one's companions have betrayed Konoha and gone down the wrong path is indeed painful, and one can't wait to get them back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to put on his armor without saying a word, but his old face showed a look of determination. He said to the two Hokage advisors in a cold voice: "During this period of time, the affairs of the village will be left to you and Kagura to handle. I am going to chase Danzo back!"

"Huruzen, don't be impulsive!"

"Monkey, don't be impulsive!"

The two Hokage advisors quickly stopped Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Jiraiya went after Orochimaru, it would be understandable; however, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage of the village, and it was unreasonable for a Hokage to leave his government affairs behind to chase after Danzo!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two advisors and said in a deep voice: "You should know how serious the consequences would be if Danzo became a traitor..."

Yes!

The consequences are extremely serious.

Shimura Danzo holds too many secrets in his hands!

Danzo Shimura knew almost everything about the list of Konoha Village's intelligence personnel, the information of Konoha Village's Anbu personnel, the information of all Konoha ninjas, and the information of all the major Konoha ninja clans.

To put it bluntly...

Once Danzo Shimura defected, the blow to Konoha would be unprecedentedly severe. As long as he sold out some of Konoha's information, Konoha would suffer heavy losses; if he sold out all of Konoha's information, Konoha would decline like never before!

Danzo Shimura is no small figure!

Danzo Shimura once served as the Hokage's assistant. Sarutobi Hiruzen would not hide many things from Danzo, and he had participated in all the meetings of Konoha's high-level officials!

"Huruzen, you are the Hokage of Konoha."

Utatane Koharu knew very well the consequences of Shimura Danzo's defection, but still had to persuade him: "The Kage of a village cannot be moved lightly. In the past, even when the Ninja World War reached a particularly difficult moment, didn't you still stay in the village?"

"yes……"

Mitomon En also started to persuade him, and took the initiative to say: "However, with Danzo's personality, he will not be inferior to others, and he probably won't go to other ninja villages..."

Although Danzo Shimura has always done things in a despicable way, he has a very high ambition and was even once only one step away from becoming the Hokage of Konoha!

After seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was wavering, Utatane Koharu continued to persuade him, "You are old now, and your physical strength has declined. How can you chase Danzo back?"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

Yes!

I don't even have the energy to chase Danzo back...

Shimura Danzo is already old, why did he defect?

"Let the Anbu track down information about Danzo first."

Utane Koharu quickly took the opportunity to propose a feasible suggestion: "Wait until we find out where Danzo is, then gather a large force to surround him and bring him back..."

“The roots can also participate.”

Akihara Kagura shook her head and offered her own suggestion: "Although the Root only has Karin and three squads of ninjas, Karin has a strong perception ability..."

"can!"

Mitomon En also nodded quickly, and thought of Danzo's character: "Even if Danzo defected now, he must want to return to Konoha in the future. We should be careful to prevent Danzo from having any conspiracy..."

"Want to issue a warrant?"

Koharu Utatane raised a key question.

“Should we send it out?”

Mitomon En frowned and asked his own question: "If a ninja from the village really meets him, how should we face him? Danzo deceived Kagura and me last time. We thought he would lead the team back to the village soon..."

"Send it out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly calmed down and sat down at his desk with an ugly look on his face: "If Danzo really chooses to defect, we must quickly find his whereabouts and kill him as soon as possible. We must never let him endanger Konoha!"

"If he hadn't defected..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the time and continued in a cold voice: "According to the rules set by the village, leaving the village without reporting to the Hokage and not returning for a long time is considered a defection according to the rules, and should be listed as a wanted traitor..."

"What's more..."

"Whether we issue a wanted order or not, the ninja world believes that Danzo has become a traitor to Konoha. Perhaps delaying the issuance of a wanted order will draw ridicule from the enemy country."

"Just send it out like this!"

"Shimura Danzo is included in the highest S-rank wanted list of traitorous ninjas. Anyone who sees Danzo will be killed without mercy. The Anbu and the Root have both made Danzo a priority for hunting him down!"

"That's all it can do..."

Mizutomon En let out a long sigh.

"..."

Akihara Kagura frowned, seeming a little unhappy: "It was Lord Danzo who rescued me from Orochimaru's laboratory, allowed me to enter the Root, and guided me to guard the village's Root Will in the dark. I didn't expect that a wanted order for Lord Danzo would be issued today..."

I really didn't expect it...

Maybe it's just that things are unpredictable?

Danzo Shimura, who had personally brought Akihara Kagura into Konoha, was actually driven out of Konoha Village. It was even he who had personally driven out Akihara Kagura, who had been brought into Konoha.

"Kagura!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what Akihara Kagura was really thinking, and thought that this little girl Akihara Kagura still cared about Danzo, so he immediately scolded and educated Akihara Kagura in a deep voice.

"Next time you see Danzo, you must not show mercy to him, and kill him immediately in the fastest way possible!"

Chapter 171: A new way of mining, the real reason why Danzo defected!

On the Hokage Rock.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spent more and more time here.

There will never be a shortage of defecting ninjas in Konoha, and there will never be a shortage of people who are sad about leaving Konoha because of their ties.

This time it was the turn of the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but start to live in fear every day, worried that Shimura Danzo would make a big mistake, worried that Shimura Danzo would sacrifice the interests of Konoha for his own benefit, worried that he might need to kill Shimura Danzo in the future regardless of their past friendship.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the Hokage Rock, thinking about the fight between the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, and remembered how the First Hokage killed Uchiha Madara.

"Hokage-sama."

Hatake Kakashi knelt on one knee behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and whispered, "The wanted order has been issued."

"it is good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

The official news from Konoha is undoubtedly credible.

The entire Konoha Village and even the ninja world received the news that Shimura Danzo had become a traitor to Konoha. This news did not cause much reaction among ordinary villagers, but it was undoubtedly extremely shocking news to the senior ninjas of Konoha Village.

Because there are many things in Konoha Village that cannot be completely covered up, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply pointed out the three crimes committed by Shimura Danzo and took the opportunity to quell the resentment in the village.

The first crime was that Danzo Shimura, Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha conspired to murder the Uchiha clan, and the three of them secretly tried to seize the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

This is undeniable.

Because Danzo Shimura did indeed do this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to keep hiding the secret for Danzo Shimura any longer.

The second crime was that Danzo Shimura secretly and illegally conducted human experiments related to the Sharingan in an attempt to obtain a more powerful bloodline limit.

Due to the great influence of Hashirama's cells, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only delete this item to avoid causing more disputes, even though most of Konoha's upper-level ninjas already knew about it.

The third crime was that Danzo Shimura led his subordinates to attack the Kirigakure ninjas privately, intending to provoke a war between Konoha and the Kirigakure Village.

This matter was recognized by the Hidden Mist Village.

After all, the Hidden Mist Village is Konoha's ally, so they have to take care of their allies' feelings. This incident indeed made Sarutobi Hiruzen very angry. He has always treated his allies with a conciliatory policy. Shimura Danzo's behavior is undoubtedly contrary to the policy of the Hokage.

These charges...

This was enough to arouse the anger of the people of Konoha.

Over the years, Danzo Shimura has been hiding in the roots, and his name has never been well-known in the village. Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions also made Danzo Shimura completely famous in Konoha.

In the sweet shop.

A group of ninjas were still discussing Danzo Shimura.

Might Guy looked at the wanted poster in the handbook, feeling a little regretful: "I applied to join the Anbu under Danzo-sama..."

“That’s the root.”

Shiranui Genma held a Senbon in his mouth and muttered nonchalantly, "Forget it, Shimura Danzo has already defected. The harm caused by his defection is too great, so we must kill him... But it's not easy to kill that guy, he still has many subordinates!"

"Then get rid of him too!"

"He killed so many people!"

"You even want to start a war. How can this be possible!"

A group of Konoha ninjas who were having afternoon tea immediately became excited.

Most of these Konoha ninjas have rarely seen Danzo Shimura, and they don’t even know the story between the Konoha high-level officials and the Uchiha, but they still think of the Uchiha as their companions, and they especially hate people like Danzo Shimura and Uchiha Itachi!

Some people hate...

Naturally, some people will feel regretful.

root base.

There were no longer any of Shimura Danzo's subordinates in this base.

The only remaining trace of Shimura Danzo may be that he was the founder of the Root, or that he was once the guide of the current Root leader Akihara Kagura.

Akihara Kagura was still sitting on the railing of the corridor, staring at the dark abyss of the Root base. She seemed to be feeling sad about Danzo Shimura's defection but unable to express it in words, and was also lamenting the reward she had received.

[System prompt]: [Rescue advisor Mito Kado En and the allied forces of the Hidden Mist Village (Sarutobi Hiruzen), mission completed, reward Five Elements Seal Unlock]

[Five Elements Seal (The Five Elements Seal can be unlocked by using the mutual generation of the Five Elements, allowing the recipient to regain the ability to release Ninjutsu.)]

This reward is not useless.

Akihara Kagura once obtained the Five Elements Seal from Jiraiya. The Five Elements Seal can seal the chakra of the Jinchūriki, and it seems that it can also seal the chakra of other people. Now he has obtained the means to release the Five Elements Seal from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is also normal.

There are many and varied minerals on Sarutobi Hiruzen's body.
