"You mean, your face was scratched by your wife?"

"And you're still blaming me!?"

Takahashi Yong looked in disbelief at Yongma who visited the farm late at night.

Yongma's face was covered with scratches and slap marks. He had never suffered such injuries even on the battlefield of the Land of Lightning.

"Correct!"

"Captain, your blood has a huge impact on ordinary people. Is there any way to deal with it? Otherwise, I won't be able to live like this."

Under the curious gazes of the three little red-haired boys, Yongma uttered these words in a serious tone.

Takahashi Yu was slumped in his favorite sofa, looking at Yuma with an expression that said 'are you looking for trouble?'

Do you think you are funny?

Miyue brought in a large basket of strawberries. The farm can now be self-sufficient.

Takahashi Yong gently grabbed a handful and threw it into his mouth. It was delicious and juicy. The two little red-haired boys who were less than five years old wanted to imitate Takahashi Yong and take a big bite.

As a result, I almost dislocated my jaw.

"I haven't figured it out myself, and you are the guinea pig now, how about you just bear with it?"

"It'll only be a matter of a few months! Be a man!"

Takahashi Yong swallowed the strawberry in his mouth and spoke to Yongma.

Yongma was also hesitant to speak, but still said to Takahashi Yong:

"Captain, why don't you let Orochimaru talk about it? When we were away last time, Orochimaru should have studied it, but my father didn't hear it clearly."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Why are you so hesitant?"

Takahashi Yong was very dissatisfied. Why was the other party still beating around the bush?

Yongma touched the wound on his face and explained to Takahashi Yong:

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of ruining Lord Danzo's plan? There is also a lot of support for Orochimaru among the people."

"I'm afraid that inviting Orochimaru to the Moonlight Clan's territory might give some false impressions and ruin the arrangement."

Also!

Takahashi Isamu pinched his chin. He didn't know what brother Danzo was doing, but even Takahashi Isamu could sense the undercurrent in the village.

Takahashi Yong slapped his head and suddenly remembered something.

"Mizuki, did Orochimaru leave behind any little snakes or anything like that?"

It has been several months since Takahashi Isamu went to the Eastern Front. He should have figured out something by now.

Takahashi Isamu closed his eyes and felt the seed given to Orochimaru.

Nice, very active.

Miyue didn't say much, went upstairs and took out a scroll, spread out the seal, and shouted:

"untie!"

bang~

A cloud of white smoke rose from the reels, and a small curled white snake appeared on the reels.

After looking at Takahashi Isamu twice, he turned into a ball of white mist and disappeared.

……

……

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the pipe in his hand lightly on the desk twice, trying to compress the tobacco more tightly.

He lit the tobacco in the pipe with melancholy, took a long puff, and the smoke in his mouth lingered in the Hokage's office again.

boom!

The office door was roughly pushed open, and Sarutobi didn't even have to think about who the person was.

"You should knock first next time, Danzo."

Danzo pushed the door open and walked in, without even looking at Sarutobi, he pulled a chair in the office and sat in front of Sarutobi.

"Monkey...long time no see."

"You've become unrecognizable to me."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and spoke to Sarutobi, but his sense of oppression was almost nothing in front of Sarutobi, with whom he grew up.

"Yes……"

“I’m quite unfamiliar with it myself.”

The smoke exhaled by Sarutobi made it impossible for Danzo to see his expression, and his words revealed his fatigue.

"Mito-sama...?"

Danzo fanned the smoke away with his hand and continued asking.

"gone."

"What about the Nine-Tails!?" Danzo asked hurriedly.

"..." Sarutobi was silent for a while.

"Even I have to keep it a secret!?"

Danzo was somewhat angry.

Sarutobi had not wanted to keep the secret from his best friend, but the behavior of the Eastern Front ninjas made Sarutobi uneasy.

One even had to admit that there was a hint of fear in one's heart. Danzo now had too many and too big wings.

"This is something only the Hokage would know! Danzo!"

Sarutobi pulled his Hokage hat down to cover his face.

good good!

Danzo originally came to Sarutobi in a private capacity, and his words revealed the intention of being friends.

Now you want to use your identity to pressure me?

Excuse me!

Danzo took out a red short-sleeved shirt from his pocket.

The national crest of the Fire Country is embroidered in white silk thread in the middle of the short sleeve, and the daimyo's emblem is also embroidered below and above.

"You..." Sarutobi was a little confused.

Danzo put the half-sleeves over his arms and fixed them on his shoulders with a 'click'.

I originally wanted to talk about feelings with you, but in the end it was still a dispute over interests!

Whether he was weak to the outside world or arrogant at home, Sarutobi completely disappointed Danzo!

Danzo stood up and walked out. When he reached the door of the Hokage's office, he turned around and looked at Sarutobi. This look made Sarutobi feel extremely strange.

"Daimyo Hansode! Tomorrow... tomorrow the battle results on the eastern front and the information from the capital will spread throughout Konoha, so you better take care of yourself..."

There was a hesitation in his words that even he himself was not aware of.

It seemed like disappointment in Sarutobi, and also like a farewell to their close friendship.

"Danzo..."

Sarutobi unconsciously stretched out his hand towards Danzo's back, as if trying to keep him.

Danzo walked down the corridor and towards the corner with firm steps.

"You're going to regret this, Danzo!"

Sarutobi's shout made Danzo stop at the corner. He turned his head slightly and stared at Sarutobi out of the corner of his eye. The light from the Hokage's office illuminated his profile.

"I am the one who can lead Konoha to the light! Hiruzen!"

After saying this, Danzo turned and walked towards the darkness of the stairwell until Sarutobi could no longer see Danzo.

Danzo returned to the somewhat deserted clan land with strange emotions and waved to call for the Root.

"Spread the battle record on the Eastern Front and the intelligence from the capital truthfully."

It was unrealistic to expect normal means to spread the news of the capital quickly, and Danzo didn't want to wait any longer.

Sarutobi... Such a disappointment!

In this way, the subsequent arrangements will have to be changed...

"Please ask Uchiha Fugaku... and Orochimaru too!"

"Yes!"

The Root Ninja knelt on one knee and took orders from Danzo.

"and many more!"

Danzo called out to the Root who was about to leave.

"Masato... No, A!"

"How many people are left in the Root now?"

"Reporting to Danzo-sama, there are 8 people left."

Masato Shimura was one of the first jonin to enter the Root, and was also the ninja who served as the liaison for the Undead Corps.

Danzo carefully stroked his daimyo half-sleeve, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Spread the news about the Third Hokage's actions and make it bigger..."

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Masato Shimura quickly jumped over the wall of Danzo's house, causing the decorative bamboos in the yard to shake continuously.

The bamboo leaves spun in the air and slowly fell down.

Danzo reached out and took a fallen bamboo leaf. He stared at the hole in the middle for a long time, and looked through the hole towards the Shimura clan's territory.

"I haven't been home for a long time. The insects have eaten a hole in the middle of the leaves..."

"It's time to take drastic measures!"
