Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 125 Danzo's Conspiracy ([-])

After the First World War on Mount Kikyo, Sand Ninja’s troops retreated to lick their wounds in the camp of Kawanokuni. Konoha’s troops were also injured and unable to organize troops to counterattack. The situation on the front line calmed down like this. Conflict, sustained in squad-scale combat.

The news of the victory on the front line was quickly spread back to the village. Under the publicity of the Konoha official, the entire Konoha Village, including the battlefield areas on the borders, all rejoiced for the victory in the Kingdom of the Wind battlefield. Morale, which was somewhat low due to the siege of the four countries, has risen a lot.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Except Kazekage Rasa, who is about to vomit blood, the other three kages of Ninja Village are also quite depressed about the defeat of the country of wind after learning the result of the war, especially the bad-tempered Raikage , even in the office, scolding Sha Nin who was so miserable with more hits and fewer losses.

However, apart from them, there is also one person inside Konoha who has become quite depressed, and that is Shimura Danzo, the leader of the 'root' department.

Because of the long-term painstaking efforts for Konoha, the energy of the third Hokage is not as good as before, and it has become a bit difficult to deal with various complicated affairs of Konoha. Therefore, the idea of ​​electing the fourth Hokage has been secretly circulated among the high-level executives.

What Danzo was more concerned about was that the victory in the Land of the Wind made Orochimaru's prestige skyrocket as a commander, surpassing the other two of the Sannin, and catching up to Konoha's soul, the Sandai Hokage.

And Danzo, who regards becoming Hokage as his goal in life, after spending half of his life under the shadow of the third Hokage, naturally does not want to miss this great opportunity to become the fourth Hokage, and begins to actively command the ninjas at the root and actively participate in it. In this ninja war.

Under Danzo's actions, some high-level figures have greatly changed their impression of him, and began to contact and support Danzo.

However, after the news of the victory came, many high-level officials who were originally neutral chose to support Orochimaru to become the fourth generation of Hokage, making Orochimaru the biggest stumbling block on Danzo's road to becoming Hokage.

In fact, Danzo is not too worried about Orochimaru, because the two have already cooperated in secret, and Danzo has a lot of evidence that Orochimaru used Konoha Ninja to conduct human experiments.

Once this matter is exposed, it will be enough to make the third Hokage who regards Konoha Ninja as their family members unable to tolerate Orochimaru, and Orochimaru will naturally have no chance to become the fourth Hokage.

But because of Orochimaru, some high-level officials who chose to support him also began to waver, making Danzo urgently need to make achievements to increase his prestige and consolidate the support of the high-level people.

Just when Danzo was trying to do something, the Third Hokage held a high-level meeting, which gave Danzo a good opportunity.

"Everyone, the situation on the Nation of Wind's front has become clear. Under the command of Orochimaru, Sand Ninja has lost the ability to continue fighting. The Nation of Wind is also very dissatisfied with the loss of Sand Ninja. If there is no accident, Sand Ninja Will choose to cease war with Konoha."

The third Hokage looked around at the high-level people sitting around with a smile on his face, feeling proud from the bottom of his heart that he had a disciple like Orochimaru.

Then, the third Hokage stated the important topic of this meeting: "So, I am going to order Orochimaru to contact the Kingdom of the Wind to discuss the signing of an armistice contract. What do you think?"

"I agree. Orochimaru has performed very well on the front line. If this task is entrusted to him, he will definitely be able to complete it smoothly." After hearing this, a high-level supporter of Orochimaru immediately stood up and supported the proposal of the third Hokage.

"I have no objection either. The pressure on other war zones is increasing. As long as the war can be ended as soon as possible, the troops in the Kingdom of Wind theater will be able to make up for other theaters." A neutral faction Senior management also expressed support.

"I agree…."

"I support…."

Several high-level officials in a row chose to support, which made Danzo's face even more gloomy, and quickly gave the high-level people belonging to his own camp a veiled look.

After getting Danzo's hint, a high-level executive named Shigematsu Hideki thought for a moment, and objected: "Master Hokage, I object."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?"

The Third Hokage was also preparing to pave the way for his disciple Orochimaru, and when he saw someone objecting, he was very displeased, but it didn't show on his face, he still had a smile on his face.

"Master Hokage, although Orochimaru has completed the battle with the sand ninja brilliantly, but also because of this, the sand ninjas now have the strongest hatred for Orochimaru."

After seeing the thoughtful expressions of the people in the meeting room, Shigematsu Hideki continued: "Once Orochimaru negotiates with Sand Shinobi, although it will not lead to failure, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it may take a long time. Time, and what Konoha lacks most now is time, so I think it is better to send other people to negotiate."

Shigematsu Hideki's words are well-founded, and no one can refute them. Although the Third Hokage supports his disciple Orochimaru, when it comes to Konoha's interests, he decisively chooses Konoha as the most important thing and agrees with Shigematsu Hideki's opinion .

"Xiuxi's words are very reasonable, so do you have any good personnel to suggest?"

Since Orochimaru was unable to carry out the negotiation, some ninjas who participated in the battle of the Land of Wind, such as Hatake Sakumoha Fuminato, were excluded for the same reason. For a while, the Third Hokage really didn't think of any good candidates.

Danzo did not let go of the opportunity that Hideki Shigematsu had won for himself, and hurriedly said, "Sarutobi, let me negotiate with Sand Ninja. Within a month, I promise that Sand Ninja will sign an armistice contract."

For his old classmate's obsession with the position of Hokage, the third Hokage has long been aware of it, but Danzo's dark and tough personality is really not suitable for Hokage, so he immediately wanted to reject Danzo's self-recommendation, but for a while I couldn't think of a more suitable candidate than Danzo.

Seeing that the Third Hokage hadn't made a statement, Danzo didn't give him more time to think, and pressed forward and asked, "Sarutobi, don't you trust my ability?"

Seeing that Danzo had said so much, Sandai Hokage had no choice but to ask everyone: "Everyone, what do you think of Danzo's proposal?"

"I agree…"

"I agree…"

"support…"

Several high-level leaders of the Danzang faction immediately expressed their support. After thinking for a while, the high-level leaders of other factions also agreed to negotiate between Danzang and the Kingdom of the Wind.

After seeing that most of the high-level officials present agreed, Sandai Hokage could only hand over this task to Danzo, and ordered him to sign a truce contract with the Wind Country within one month.

After receiving the order, Danzo immediately rushed towards the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind under the escort of the elite troops from the root.
