Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 348 Go find the 'snake'

Only the Raikage himself knows whether the Raikage's mentality has exploded or not. Only the Raikage himself and some people in Hidden Cloud Village may care about this issue. As for the rest of the people...who cares what you think in your heart? ah!

Like Danzo Shimura,

The Shinobi of Konoha, after returning to his home, sat silently at the table, thinking about his future, and had no time to think about the Raikage's mood at this time.

"After experiencing this failure... Sarutobi is afraid that he will take a big blow. Maybe... No, it should be impossible to delegate power, but his authority will definitely be affected. Strike and weaken..."

Shimura Danzo murmured to himself, sorting out the current situation.

Based on his understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was absolutely impossible for him to voluntarily lay down his authority and hand it over to Minato... Sarutobi could not live a life without power in his hands! !

but,

This does not mean that the power that Sarutobi Hiruzen holds tightly will always be firmly in his hands. People's hearts will change with the changes of current events.

Not to mention that as Sarutobi Hiruzen continues to age, there will definitely be people who surrender to the Yondaime one after another.

Just this time,

Once the news that 'Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's mistakes led to the failure of the operation' was revealed, it would be easy for him to say it. He didn't have a good reputation anyway, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige would definitely suffer a huge blow. blow.

And after abdicating,

Sarutobi Hiruzen relies on the prestige he accumulated during his time as Hokage to continue to hold on to the power in his hands. Once his prestige is damaged, the power in his hands will also be compromised.

Don't say anything else,

Just say that at that time,

After letting Uchiha Hatoha escape, Sarutobi Hiruzen was annoyed and didn't pay attention, but he saw the resentful emotion flashing in Nara Shikaku's eyes at that time. Even Nara Shikaku was like this... ···Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige and power in the village will probably begin to decline uncontrollably from now on.

"This won't work."

Danzo clenched his fists and frowned.

If it were before,

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was still Hokage, he was happy to see Sarutobi's prestige take a hit, but now... he doesn't want Sarutobi's prestige to be damaged at all, because that means that the Fourth Generation Eye 's power will be strengthened.

This is truly bad news for him who has never forgotten about becoming Hokage!

"We can't sit still and wait for death. We still have to find a way to move..." Danzo stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about what he should do next to let himself be said to be the Hokage. on the body.

Method,

Not without.

The simplest and crudest thing is to overthrow Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Jiraiya and all the obstacles in front of him, then the throne of Hokage will naturally be his, even if he gets it by then All that will be left is a broken Konoha.

But Danzo doesn't care about this.

In his opinion,

As long as he is allowed to sit on the throne of Hokage, then he believes that he will do better than Sarutobi, and will lead Konoha to become the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, regaining the glory of the first generation Hokage.

The problem is... To implement this method, there is a prerequisite, that is, he must have the strength to defeat people like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Jiraiya!

Apart from this simplest and crudest method, none of the other conceivable methods are easy to implement, and all require strong enough force as a prerequisite.

Therefore,

This question went round and round, but finally it came back to the question of how to become stronger!

"...Need to become stronger!!!"

<divclass="contentadv">Thinking of this,

Danzo Shimura's brows furrowed tightly. He was already so old now, and he knew very well that his potential had been fully explored long ago. There was no way forward for him.

He had tried to delve into the forbidden arts in the Book of Sealings in the past. Given his status and relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had learned every forbidden technique in the Book of Sealings, but unfortunately he just learned it. There are several sealing techniques that do not directly contribute to one's own combat power.

And this means that it is no longer possible for him to become stronger through normal methods.

If you want to have stronger strength... you can only take the evil path! ! !

"Terai."

Shimura Danzo shouted.

next second,

An ordinary-looking young man appeared in the room, kneeling on one knee in front of Danzo, quietly waiting for orders.

Although he was deprived of control of the root organization,

nowadays,

The root organization has become the foundation for Minato Namikaze to become the Ministry of Defense.

But this does not mean that Danzo Shimura has completely become a polished commander.

He doesn't rely solely on the [Tongue Disaster Root-Eradication Seal] he developed to control the root tissue. His method of "supporting the big tree of Konoha Village behind it is deeply rooted in the earth..." The theory of "rooted will" still has a certain market.

In addition, when he selected members of the Root Organization, in addition to searching for children with outstanding talents from major families, he also paid attention to those children who had darkness hidden in their hearts and had no relatives.

Therefore,

Within the root organization, there are many people who sincerely follow Danzo!

Terai is one of them.

and,

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi had been deprived of control of his roots in the past, he later made many preparations to prevent similar things from happening again.

For example, Terai was not on the roster of the Root Organization, which meant that he was not forcibly ordered to serve in the Ministry of Defense like those like Yamazaki, Aburame Tori and others.

Instead, he continued to follow Danzo quietly.

of course,

When he was under surveillance before, Terai and the others did not dare to get close. It was not until recently that his surveillance was lifted, and the contact with Terai and his remaining back-ups was restored.

"Contact Ryoma and tell him... to find the 'snake' and ask him to tell the snake that I have something very important that needs to be discussed with him." Danzo Shimura gave the order in a deep voice. .

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Terai agreed, stood up and left without any hesitation, and began to carry out the order.

Wait until Terai's figure disappears,

Shimura Danzo stood motionless for a long time, and one could see extremely complex emotions swirling in his eyes, but after a moment, cold determination still took over the high ground.

"This is... necessary, even if you have to pay a price for it... it is a necessary price to restore Konoha to its former glory!!!"

As if to strengthen his determination, Danzo Shimura spoke word by word in this empty room.
