Endless Journey from Naruto

Snapped!Snapped!

laugh!laugh!laugh!

"Ok?"

Danzo, who was preparing for the next attack, suddenly heard the sound of an object falling to the ground from behind, and when he looked back, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Yan! Xiaochun!"

As Danzo turned his head, what caught Danzo's eyes were the faces of Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu, who were in a pool of blood and looked extremely dazed.

"How? When?"

Danzo turned his head quickly, staring at Sasuke, his vigilance instantly raised to the highest level.

"What kind of attack is it? It seems that Yan and Xiaochun have been corrupted by something, is it poison?"

Danzo's combat experience is also rich, and he made a corresponding judgment just by looking at the dead faces of Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu.

"Although I don't seem to be affected, it's better to strengthen some protection."

Danzo felt his physical condition, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual, but he still decided to make some preparations.

Tear!

Danzo tore off a strip of cloth from his sleeve, and he wanted to wrap this strip around his mouth and nose to maximize his protection against unknown toxins.

"I don't have a special gas mask, I can only rely on this. I hope it will be useful. It can last a little longer, but..."

Looking at the youth mini mask in his hand, Danzo frowned and put the cloth strip on his face.

Clang!

Then, Danzo pulled out a kunai from the ninja bag, but when Danzo looked up at Sasuke again, his face suddenly became quite ugly, and his brows were tightly frowned.

"It's just that if you wear this, you won't be able to use Fengdun... In this case, if you want to kill that brat, you have to engage in close combat with him, but... "

Danzo looked at Sasuke who was tightly wrapped by Susano, his face was so dark that ink dripped out.

The countless kunai and shurikens that were summoned by Mitomonyan before and strengthened by the wind and wind of Juan Koharu hit the surface of Susanoo, but were easily bounced one by one. In front of Danzo.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The sounds made when Kunai collided with Shuriken and Susano and were bounced away seemed to be recorded on the radio, constantly replaying in Danzo's mind.

The scene and sound of Kunai and the shuriken being bounced are constantly replaying in Danzo's mind, reminding Danzo every minute and every second that the behavior of wanting to engage in close combat with Susanoo is not So sensible.

"........"

Danzo fell into silence, his hand holding Kunai trembled slightly, as if he had fallen into a dead end, which made him a little desperate.

Reason told him that if he fought to the death at this moment, he might be more likely to survive. Even if he couldn't survive, at least he wouldn't die without dignity.

But his survival instinct made him subconsciously ignore the option of fighting to the death.

"What should I do? Die vigorously? Or live a little longer?"

Under such a situation, this question popped up in Danzo's mind involuntarily.

"Does this feel familiar? When was the last time you encountered this situation?"

Regarding the current situation, Danzo felt a sense of deja vu.

"By the way, it's time for the second-generation adults to sacrifice themselves and cover our evacuation!"

Danzo quickly recalled the important decision moment that affected his life.

"At that time, what choice did I make?"

-

In the face of the enemy's pursuit, in order for more people to survive, one of the seven people who went to Yunyin Village to negotiate, including Qianshou Feijian, must be the bait, and the person who served as the bait was almost certain to die.

At that time, Danzo was almost about to come forward, and the first thought in his mind was: "Self-sacrifice is the duty of a ninja! I have already decided to die in battle."

Danzo thought so, and proudly looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi next to him: "Hirozawa, do you have the same awareness as me?"

However, when Danzo really wanted to speak, he was afraid. In fear, Danzo pinched his thigh and kept pushing himself.

"Say it! Say you volunteered to be the bait!"

But Danzo's body trembled uncontrollably. His desire to survive made him fear death, and finally he became cowardly and hesitant.

At this moment, Hiru Sarutobi opened his mouth.

"Let me be the bait!"

The moment he heard this sentence, Danzo's trembling stopped, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Then, deep shame and unwillingness filled his heart. For the first time, he realized that he was a coward. Far inferior to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He hurriedly shouted: "I was about to open my mouth to take over this task! Let me be the bait!"

But it was too late, a moment of hesitation determined the height of the two of them, Danzo could not risk his life to protect everyone like Sarutobi Hiruzen, and this is the key to protecting the village as Hokage.

As a result, Senju Tomona appointed Hiruzaru Sarutobi as the new Hokage, and left himself as a bait, sacrificing himself to protect the lives of the six young men.

And this incident has also become a hurdle that Danzo will never be able to overcome. He often talks about "ninjas must sacrifice themselves", but when it is really his turn, he cannot do it.

At this moment, when Danzo faced death again, Danzo finally recognized himself.

"So, have I been a coward all these years?"
