Several elders of the Senju clan came and went in a hurry. After receiving the guarantee from Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hashirama and Tobirama's students, they all got up and left.

They have long withdrawn from the center of power in the village and know the importance.

After all, it is no longer their time.

Excessive greed for power will only damage the village they built under the leadership of the two leaders Hashirama and Tobirama.

It's a pity that there are not many people who can do what they do.

Power is such an alluring sweet fruit. Even if they know it is poisonous, countless people will willingly eat it, and even become willing puppets of power.

. . .

"Okay, the injuries on Naoki and Haiichi haven't healed yet. Tsunade, please take them to the hospital for a checkup first, and then go through the hospitalization procedures and rest peacefully."

After sending away several Senju elders, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was quite tired, obviously no longer wanted to watch the two groups of people continue to make noise in front of him, and waved his hand to signal Tsunade to leave.

"Minato and Namiya stay, Danzo, you can go back too."

Seeing that Tsunade had no intention of leaving at all and looked at Danzo with undisguised hostility, Hiruzen had no choice but to speak again.

"Hiruzhan, do you want to cover up a criminal who has hooked up with spies from other villages and will cause irreparable huge harm to the village?!"

Danzo, who thought that after taking away Tsunade, would be his chance to fight back, his face suddenly turned dark when he heard this, and he seemed to have endless dissatisfaction with Hiruzen in his heart.

As a ruthless person who even deceived himself, he never thought that anything he did was wrong.

Even when he later assassinated the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, he believed from the bottom of his heart that what he did was for the sake of the village, not because of his own obsession with Hokage.

After all, the logic of "Only I can save Konoha, and I must first become Hokage and gain absolute power before I can save Konoha" is so perfectly self-consistent in his eyes.

And even the reigning Hokage can be passively sacrificed for his "ideal", so who in Konoha cannot be sacrificed?

"enough!"

It seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't stand his old friend's paranoia anymore, so he slammed the table and growled at him.

"Whether Bo Gu has colluded with spies from other villages to betray the village's confidential information, you should know this better than me!"

Since you don't want face, don't blame him for using too much force when he started pumping.

Danzo, who didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to suddenly turn against him, suddenly turned green and red like a dyeing plate.

"Humph."

But before he could say something like "Hiruzen, you will definitely regret it!" and left angrily, Tsunade, who heard Sarutobi Hiruzen finally expressing his stance, deliberately snorted and pulled her brother. The rope tree turned and left.

Behind him, Akimichi Choza, the future leader of the Akimichi clan who looked honest but shrewd, quickly bowed to Hiruzen, picked up Yamanaka Haiichi and followed him.

The gods were fighting, and his little arms and legs had already been walking on thin ice, and he was trembling with fear. If he didn't seize the opportunity to run quickly, it would be too late.

"Humph!"

And Danzo finally couldn't help but snorted angrily, and walked away with a livid face, his heart becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen, his former old friend.

"call!"

Watching Danzo leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't help but stepped back, leaned against the sofa and let out a breath.

Minato, who was still standing there, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at his brother with comforting eyes.

In his opinion, although his younger brother had just performed very bravely, he must still be very uneasy in his heart.

After all, that was Danzo, one of the three great advisors second only to the Hokage, the root minister, the Darkness of Konoha, a being who could make countless Konoha children stop crying just by his name.

But the wave valley was obviously not as bad as Minato thought.

At this time, he just couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's good to have a relationship.

If it weren't for Tsunade Ribo and Jiraiya who was his apprentice, it's really hard to say today whether Sarutobi Hiruzen, the master of thick black studies, would have handed him over to Danzo.

"Okay, these annoying things have been solved, now let's talk about things between you and Jiraiya."

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who felt that his brain was no longer buzzing and confused, sat up again, put on a smile, looked at Hasani and Minato, and said with a chuckle.

. . .

"I didn't expect that you would be willing to come back?"

At the Konoha Camp in the Land of Rain, Orochimaru looked at the familiar figure in front of him and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"After all, I am still a ninja of Konoha. The previous war is coming to an end. With you and Tsunade taking care of everything for me, I can naturally live as I want. But now, the situation has deteriorated, how can I not come back?"

There was a slight apology on Jiraiya's face.

"You came back at the right time. We should set off tonight."

Orochimaru, a friend for many years, didn't waste any time talking to him and directly talked about the next move.

"Heading to the Kingdom of Grass? Or attacking the Kingdom of Earth directly?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

"What do you think?"

Orochimaru did not answer, but asked a question.

The village has not yet sent the order, Nara Shikamasu is still at odds with Hanzo, and has been unable to reach an alliance, but Orochimaru is unwilling to wait here any longer.

"Oh, with your character, you should go straight to the Earth Country, forcing Iwagakure to end the war preparations in advance and start a full-scale war."

Jiraiya chuckled and replied almost without thinking.

"Originally I was still hesitant, but now that you are here, how could I still be hesitant?"

Orochimaru also laughed.

The two faces, which are still very young now, are full of confidence.

. . .

"Nagato, why are people so greedy?"

In the cabin of the red, yellow and blue trio, Yahiko became melancholy after Jiraiya got the news and left.

At first, he believed that the reason why there were so many wars in the world was because people had too many misunderstandings with each other, and these misunderstandings eventually led to fights and turned into wars.

Therefore, he gave birth to himself or established an organization by himself to become a bridge of peace between people and countries, and between countries.

But after meeting Bo Gu, hearing the story from Bo Gu, and understanding the real reason behind this war, his heart was a little shaken.

But he still believed in his heart that people were all peace-loving, and wars like this one provoked by greed were only a minority after all, and his ideals were not wrong.

But now, with Iwagakure declaring war on Konoha, his heart was hit hard again and he couldn't help but waver.
