People are in Hokage, one person at a time

It would be fine if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't speak. Due to their past friendship, Danzo could still calmly let Monkey be the second Hokage of Konoha, but you can't help Hiruzen Sarutobi who likes to go against Danzo.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage, Danzo's violent comments from the martial arts faction were repeatedly frustrated. Danzo accepted it. After all, his status was different. Some words touched his upper lip and lower lip. How alarmist could he say it?

Warriors can only get the greatest support during wars. Danzo recognizes this, but it is different now. I, Shimura Danzo, am the Hokage of Konoha. Now Konoha has rich high-end combat power. Not to mention Powerful in all directions, at least Konoha can stabilize or even slightly surpass the situation established by his teacher.

In terms of being the Hokage, Danzo thought he was far superior to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he really put Hiruzen Sarutobi as the second-in-command in Konoha. Danzo thought that he would rely on the skills that the monkey had used to deal with him. The method should be able to capture the opponent, but the root controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen firstly does not draw much benefit from Konoha itself, and secondly, if the root is really cancelled, Danzo will not be able to bear the heavy investment of the Sarutobi clan.

Danzo knew that the Sarutobi clan was very profitable, but if he could earn enough money to support a department or even call on knowledgeable people to protect Konoha, to put it bluntly, it was more troublesome in Hiruzen's hands than in his own. Most of the time I have it in my hands.

As a ninja training institution in Konoha, Konoha doesn't need to spend any money. The supplies from Konoha's peace-loving defenders alone are enough to support the daily expenses of the root. It doesn't matter if the other party has its own troops. That's what the root did in the first place. Yes, Danzo has plenty of ways to deal with them.

But the root of the problem is that the reputation under the leadership of Monkey is really good. Compared to the cruel selection system of ANBU, as a training base for ninjas, Sarutobi Hiruzen, a doctor of ninjutsu, is personally in charge. Many Konoha ninjas have been subjected to The favor of the root leader.

In addition, there are no extraordinary actions at the root. Talents are released as they are told, and tasks are carried out as they are told. The yearning for peace itself is also the pursuit of Konoha ninjas. Although he is now the martial arts sect as the Hokage, it can be expected Yes, after his death, it may be difficult for the next Hokage to choose someone as tough as himself.

Of course, Danzo understands the hard truth. It is a good thing to have Sarutobi Hiruzen in the village playing a person who disagrees with his own political views but is always for the existence of Konoha. But you can't stand him. Sarutobi Hiruzen is disgusting. .

Three sentences are inseparable from peace, and five sentences are inseparable from the teacher's teachings. From Konoha's point of view, are they for the benefit of Konoha ninjas?

Although in terms of work, Danzo thinks that he, the third generation Hokage, is more than superior to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but there is one thing to say, in terms of disgusting people and face projects, even if he does not have the Hokage, the monkey's old face is better than his in any way. This put together body is even more convincing.

In the past, I was the root and you were the leaf, and I was disgusted by you. Now that I am the leaf and you are the root, you can still disgust me in turn?

Danzo felt very angry, but he already knew what his old friend was like, and Hiruzen Sarutobi just agreed with a smile.

"Indeed, Danzo, you have done a great job, and Konoha is indeed the strongest among the Ninja Villages now, but this does not conflict with being friendly with other Ninja Villages."

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and continued: "It has been twenty-six years since you became the Third Hokage in the thirty-seventh year of Konoha, right?"

"It is true that Konoha has grown stronger every day for more than twenty years, but what price did we pay for today?"

"When the teacher was still in office, the number of active ninjas in Konoha was more than 15,000. Now in Konoha's sixty-three years, have you carefully calculated the number of active ninjas in Konoha, Danzo? The ANBU has recruited How many people have been lost in the border conflict? The number of ninjas currently in Konoha is not even 7,000. Even if the war is won, those who died will not come back, right?"

"The people who died were all those who sacrificed for Konoha. Their sacrifices brought Konoha the strength it is today. Hiruzen, when did you not even understand this? Konoha's strength lies in the enemy's Built on corpses, looking at today's ninja world, isn't it the result of generations of people fighting to make Konoha what it is today?"

Danzo snorted coldly at this point.

"If you even deny this, then where will you leave those who sacrificed their lives?"

"Of course their sacrifice cannot be denied. To Konoha, these people are Konoha's heroes, but besides being heroes, Danzo, they are also children of Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion: "Konoha has been fighting for twenty-six years, and Konoha has been tough for twenty-six years. Danzo, isn't this enough? No one will fight against other ninja villages because of Konoha." You despise Konoha when you have good friends. It’s not like Danzo doesn’t understand the truth that hard things are easy to break. Even when the teacher was still there, Konoha was never the party that started wars. No one can challenge Konoha’s status now, so why? Can’t Konoha slow down and let the children in the village take a break?”

"Take a break, Hiruzen, is this what you want to say? Is it because the years of peace in the ninja world have given you the illusion that no one dares to challenge Konoha?"

"It's not an illusion. Isn't this joint chuunin exam a good opportunity?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Suna ninja, Iwa ninja and even cloud ninja are willing to come to Konoha to participate in this joint chunin exam led by Konoha. Doesn't this just show that these villages agree with Konoha?" Now that these villages have sent a signal of peace to Konoha, wouldn't the peaceful life that the Shodaime-sama has been pursuing come true as long as Konoha relaxes a little? No way."

"Peace, Hiruzen, don't you really know why these ninja villages agreed to Konoha sending people to participate in this joint chuunin exam? Pursue peace, okay, if Hiruzen you can convince Kumo ninja or Iwa ninja to reduce the number of ninjas If they want peace, I will naturally give them peace.”

"Duanzo, I think you are making trouble unreasonably. The number of ninjas increases with the increase in population. Layoffs or something..."

"It turns out you know this is impossible, Hiruzen!"

Danzo said angrily: "The Kumo ninja have lost their ambitions, and Ohnoki has always wanted to challenge Konoha's hegemony by relying on his own synthesized blood inheritance. As for the Suna ninja..."
