I only know the golden light spell, I am a ninja in Konoha

Hearing Xu Hong's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent. If the above words were truly Itachi's careful summary, then Itachi should be able to lead Konoha to new heights if he becomes Hokage.

He shook his head fiercely, trying to get this idea out of his mind. He didn't understand how he could have such an idea. He actually wanted to let the Uchiha clan members become Hokage. This was not in line with the ancestral precepts of the Nidaime-sama at that time!

Slowly he continued to turn the pages of the history of Konoha, page by page. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. It recorded the reasons for the decline of Konoha. The analysis was so logical that Hiruzen Sarutobi was very moved. , he never thought of summarizing the reasons for Konoha's decline.

The main reason for seeing the records inside was because of the high-level officials of Konoha. It also reminded him of what he had done as Hokage and Danzo and other elders over the years, and he felt extremely regretful and ashamed.

Because he knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility for Konoha to become what it is now, and he even contributed to certain things.

Continuing to read through it, he found that the following was an analysis of the pros and cons of Gen. He found that the advantages did not outweigh the disadvantages as he thought at the time, but that there were hundreds of harms and no benefit, because Anbu could also do what Genbu did. Under the circumstances, we will do better.

It is recorded in detail that the establishment of Gen was the establishment of a private armed force in Konoha, which turned Danzo into a dark Hokage. It is impossible for the country to have two masters, and the same is true for Konoha.

Although the establishment of the root can make Konoha prosperous and eliminate ninjas who threaten Konoha, it will also create a large number of people who are full of hatred for Konoha, and will also encourage Danzo's desire for power.

It's okay that the root is in the hands of the Hokage, but unfortunately he belongs to Danzo's organization entirely, and all members are bound by curse seals. This will also cause Danzo to do things without the Hokage's consent and conceal the Hokage's actions.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the many suspicious events that had happened in Konoha over the years, as well as some things he accidentally discovered, even the White Fang incident, Orochimaru's human experiments, and even the secrets behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion. There was his shadow, and he even sent someone to assassinate him.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly look very ugly, he was covered in cold sweat, and his breathing became a little short. It turned out that Danzo had done so many things behind his back unknowingly, causing the village to weaken step by step. And he was in a state of acquiescence.

Xu Hong was nearby and did not disturb him, silently running Qi and practicing slowly.

Continue to flip through the history book in your hand and look at the notes on it. Next, remember the dangers of roots.The history of Konoha is not long, so this notebook is not particularly thick, and I quickly reached the last two pages.

The previous page must also be an analysis of the Hyuga Hizashi incident. Although this approach will keep Konoha away from the war, it will also make the various families in Konoha alienate from Konoha.After all, Hyuga Hizashi is Hyuga Hizashi's biological brother. It is impossible not to complain if something like this happens. If it happens a few more times, it will definitely make all the ninjas feel that they are a kind of expendable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also understood this truth, but at that time Konoha simply did not have the strength to start a war with Cloud Shadow Village, so he had no choice but to make this choice.

He didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so he turned to the last page and found that there were only two big words - strength!

After reading the entire notebook, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was originally 60 years old and looked like 80 years old, has become 60 years old and looks like 100 years old. His faith as a Hokage has dissipated too much, and the wrinkles and age spots on his face have increased instantly.

Putting down the notes in his hand, the idea of ​​letting Itachi become Hokage came to Itachi unconsciously, suppressed it, looked up at Xu Hong, who had a calm face, and said in a very low voice: "This is what you and Itachi don't want to believe. Is it because of the higher-ups?!”

Immediately, a self-deprecating look appeared on his face, and he murmured: "If I were a villager in Konoha and saw the high-level officials doing such a thing, I wouldn't believe it!"

Xu Hong was silent for a while and said: "Those third-generation grandfathers, do you still want to know the follow-up plan?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed and said: "No need, after reading so much analysis, I can roughly guess that you two are worried that I can't bear to be cruel and spare Danzo's life.

And I think you two have other black materials and evidence about Danzo in your hands, so I am going to leave this matter to the next Hokage to handle. In my heart, the next Hokage will be Tsunade in addition to Jiraiya, and at most Kakashi, given the character and behavior of these three people, or for the prosperity of Konoha, it is impossible for him to forgive Danzo. "

"Ha ha!"

He laughed twice self-deprecatingly and said: "You are right, I really can't kill this old friend of mine. At most, I will abolish his root position and the position of Hokage Assistant. But because of his character, he was removed from his position." After that, it will only hide deeper with the roots, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback in one fell swoop!”

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Xu Hong frowned and said: "Third-generation grandfather, after getting to know each other over the years, Shimura Danzo is extremely suspicious, cautious, insidious, and tough. He doesn't trust others and cannot tolerate even the slightest bit. For possible omissions, you must follow your own ideas before you feel at ease. He often talks about "ninjas need to sacrifice themselves", but when it is really his turn, he can't do it.

Such people will only be a danger if they stay in Konoha. Why can't you be cruel? ! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was full of sadness, and he said: "First, my current strength is no longer enough to suppress Danzo."

Xu Hong immediately interrupted: "Then there are also people like me, Itachi, and people with Kage-level strength like Shisui. If we help you, we will definitely take down Danzo easily!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand to signal Xu Hong to stop, with a hint of sadness on his face, and continued: "I understand, and this is what I want to say next. After all, I have worked with Danzo for many years and grew up together. I am really ruthless. Don't give up.

So I plan to abdicate. After I go back for a while, I will order people to call Jiraiya and Tsunade back. Regarding Danzo's matter, who among them will become the fifth generation and whoever you help will solve it. I will not interfere!

In the remaining days, I plan to retire, go home and take care of my grandson peacefully, and don't plan to interfere with Konoha's affairs. "

Xu Hong looked at the old Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him and understood that he had also made up his mind to eradicate Danzo as a danger. He suddenly said: "I understand, Third Generation Grandpa!"

He gestured towards the window and then took it back.

Itachi's figure instantly appeared in the window, opened the window and walked in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also showed a look of surprise and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have already thought of the development of the matter, so you chose the window to talk to me!"

This is the only window in Xu Hong's home.
