Hokage: To overthrow Konoha, I over-planned

Konoha.

Naruto Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the window overlooking the entire village, taking a deep puff of his cigarette, his eyes showing fatigue.

Next to him was Danzo, who was leaning on a cane and had half of his face bandaged.

Sarutobi Hiuzhan spoke slowly: "Have we not reached an agreement with Iwagakure Village yet?"

It has been two years since the Hinata Aoyuki incident, but his life has not been much easier.

Although the Ninja World War is now over and things seem to be going well, the alliance on the Iwagakure Village side has never been reached, and there are still occasional frictions at the border.

What he didn't expect was that the Kirigakure Village was becoming more and more mysterious. Not only had there been no news from the spies sent earlier, but all the people who continued to spy later were also lost. Now there was no chance to go deeper. This made Sarutobi Hiruzen felt vaguely uneasy.

He doesn't like to fight unprepared battles, and he feels very uncomfortable when he doesn't know anything now. He always feels that Kirigakure is holding back some big move.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has sent many people there in the past two years, but no substantial useful information has been returned, so he wants to establish an alliance with Iwagakure Village.

It's just that Iwagakure has not responded much.

It's actually understandable to put yourself in someone else's shoes. After all, Konoha's environment and land are too fertile, and the jinchūriki haven't grown up yet, so many people still have ideas for such a hot cake.

In addition to the relatively weak Kingdom of Wind, even if Yunyin Village has signed a covenant, it will make some small moves and make a deal whenever there is an opportunity.

Danzo replied: "Onoki is a militant. Now he has sole power in Iwagakure Village, and his strength has reached an unprecedented concentration. As a result, many alliance negotiations have been fruitless. Recently, there has been more friction on the border of Grass Country. .”

Caoyin Village is a civilian ninja village, but because of its superior geographical conditions, its resources are good in all aspects.

Such a weak and advantaged place cannot truly be independent. On the surface, it appears to be independent, but in fact it has no autonomy!

Kusagakure Village mainly focuses on the study of ninjutsu from other countries, and has no characteristics of its own. The strongest ones are only elite jounin, not even a kage level, which has led to the involvement of various forces.

Among them, Konoha controls an absolutely important position. If Kusakure Village suffers, Konoha will feel pain.

Danzo added: "I will send people to Kirigakure Village, and there will be news in a while."

Hearing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded.

He didn't really believe Danzo's words, and until there was no result, he would have no confidence in his heart.

Turning his eyes, he looked towards the corner of the outskirts of the village and said with some admonishment: "Uchiha, don't push too hard, I will find a way."

Danzo said righteously: "They are an evil clan, with restless blood flowing in their veins. Although you will let Uchiha Itachi join the ANBU, and with the previous Uchiha Shisui, the two geniuses will serve the village." Effectiveness, but some things are hidden in the bones!”

"You must also know the cost of their becoming strong. They were all bought with the blood of their loved ones. Whether such people can continue to serve the village after they become strong is unknown!"

As far as the current state of Uchiha's dissatisfaction with the village is concerned, they are like an untimed nuclear bomb. Once it explodes, the consequences will be disastrous.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was equally heavy.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Lu Jiu, please withdraw the surveillance, the matter is over."

Danzo sneered inwardly.

Me spying?

Dog or your dog, I will take the blame!

Nara Shikaku is the world's leading strategist and has a very good relationship with Namikaze Minato. During Namikaze Minato's tenure, he made various tactics to revive the dead. After Namikaze Minato's death, Shikaku was in a slump for a while.

Therefore, after Sarutobi Hiruzen took office again, he immediately left him idle, saying that he was concerned about Shikaku's health and condition and had a good rest.

From then on, Nara Shikaku no longer participated in the discussion of confidential matters, and was in a semi-retired state. All matters in Konoha were fully discussed and decided by the Hokage and the advisory group.

In addition, the two-year Seigetsu incident was aroused. As one of the elders who was close to him, Shikaku was no longer close to the Third Hokage from all aspects of his behavior, and even tended to become distant, so the great Third Hokage directly asked him to retire completely!

They even sent people to monitor them secretly.

Danzo felt funny when he thought about it. This was entirely caused by his suspicious personality, okay?

If not, why would there have been so much friction at the border of the Land of Grass?Is there any information about Kirigakure Village?

Of course, this result is not necessarily bad for Danzo now. On the contrary, without Shikaku participating in the discussion and decision-making of important events, he has more weight to his words.

His purpose is still clear - he will take the position of Hokage sooner or later!

"Yes, it all depends on the words of the Third Hokage!"

Danzo bowed and then withdrew.

He had never monitored Shikaku at all. That kind of guy was extremely loyal to the village and had no motive for rebellion. He just wasn't reused or trusted.

In fact, even if the deaths of Namikaze Minato and Qingyue made him discouraged, it would be a very simple thing for the village to give him a little light at any time and let him contribute based on the village's righteousness.

It's just that the Third Hokage hasn't done this kind of thing since he was reset.After all, as we get older, we feel more comfortable holding many things in our hands, right?

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's close friend, no one knows Sarutobi Hiruzen better than Danzo!

It would be difficult to use Shikaku again now that the headache cannot be solved.

Of course, if Shikaku really ignores his past grievances and puts aside his personal grudges and works wholeheartedly for the village, Danzo will have a way to make him have no say!

"That brat Hinata..."

"no need!"

Danzo wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Neji doesn't have Qingyue's talent! Moreover, the Hyuga clan has been very tense in the past two years. They have a good relationship with Shikaku because of Qingyue. If you try to stimulate them, will you bear the consequences? What's more, now Uchi Bo's side is even more nervous. For the sake of the village, you have to understand what's important and what's important!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were sharp, and his last words were extremely serious.

He knows more or less what this old guy is thinking, and is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, but he also has a bottom line!

"Hokage-sama is really worried about your life, so I won't bother you now."

Danzo smiled and disappeared into the darkness.

.........

In the courtyard of the Nara clan.

In the evening, Shikamaru, who was less than six years old, was dragged by his father to play chess, but his father's eyes kept looking elsewhere, looking absent-minded.

"Father, do you want to play chess or tell me stories? I have heard about the Fourth Hokage and Qingyue countless times. Do you want me to be that kind of person? Do I have that kind of person?" Talent, it’s too much trouble.”

Shikamaru complained again.

His father has taught him how to play chess since he can remember, telling him stories about some heroes in the village while playing chess.

He was very happy at first, but it was okay to hear the story once, but he got tired of it after hearing it too much.

Especially the story about the Fourth Hokage and the eldest brother named Hinata Aoyuki, his ears almost got calluses when he heard it. What made him even more dissatisfied was that his father was always in a bad mood every time he talked about those two people. look like.

Every time I ask my father, my father tells me the truth about jade.

[Jade] is the most important chess piece in Shogi. His father told him that [Jade] means to let him find his most important treasure.

But he found it too much trouble.

As long as a person lives, wouldn’t it be enough to eat and sleep every day?Why do you have to find that kind of fictitious [Jade]?

"No wonder mother often scolds you, you are really too troublesome!"

Shikamaru pouted.
