In the Hokage office building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat, holding a pipe, looking expressionlessly at the ANBU member who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

He listened to the other party telling him in detail about Danzo's movements throughout the whole day, even the time when Danzo left the Uchiha clan's territory and stopped at Ichiraku Ramen to eat a few bowls of noodles was reported clearly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. As a disciple of Senju Tobirama, he always said that he wanted to coexist peacefully with the Uchiha clan, but deep down in his heart, he was still deeply wary of this clan.

And his best friend, the lifelong enemy of the Uchiha, actually took the initiative to run to the clan he hated the most...

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a drag on his pipe, looking a little confused.

Could it be that Danzo was inadvertently controlled by the Uchiha clan using illusion?

No, no, what strength does Danzo have? No Uchiha today can cast an illusion on him.

Then, I quickly gave up the idea.

"Okay, you go down first."

After thinking for a long time and feeling lonely, Sarutobi Hiruzen casually sent away the Anbu members, stood up, looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance outside the window, his eyes half-closed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Ugh……"

After a long time, a sigh was heard.

"Someone is coming."

A figure wearing a dog-face mask instantly appeared behind him.

"Notify Danzo and tell him to come here to see me immediately."

……

"What? Hiruzen wants to see me? Now?"

Looking at the ANBU member who suddenly appeared in front of him, Danzo who was taking a walk stopped and looked up at the moonlight above his head.

According to the memory in my mind, whenever Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to see me late at night, it must be because I had done something bad and was discovered by him.

But I haven't done anything bad in the half month since I came here.

Could it be that it was done by Danzo Shimura before he traveled through time, and I am taking the blame for him?

After racking his brains to recall the memories, Danzo finally gave up thinking about it. Sarutobi Hiruzen would not do anything to him anyway.

Afterwards, Danzo followed the ANBU member in front of him to the Hokage's office building.

……

"Tell me, Hiruzen, what's the matter."

"You're here, Danzo."

"Well, why are you calling me here so late? Is there something wrong?"

Danzo was a little surprised when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen not wearing the Hokage uniform.

Since becoming the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has basically never taken off the divine robe that symbolizes his status as Hokage unless he is in a battle.

Fortunately, he was not wearing that combat suit, otherwise Danzo would have really suspected that he had been exposed and discovered that he was not the original owner.

"There has been a lot of unrest in the Hidden Rain Village recently."

"Yes, I know about this. Why? Did the Hidden Rain Village declare war?"

"No, not yet, but it will be soon. According to the latest intelligence sent back from the front line, a large number of Rain Ninjas have gathered outside the border."

Hearing that he was only asking about the gathering, Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn, you scared me so much that I almost thought I had traveled through time and caused a butterfly effect to change the world line."

The cane tapped the ground lightly.

"The Hidden Rain Village will probably be in a stalemate with us for a long time."

"According to my personal information, Hanzo of the Salamander will probably attack Sunagakure first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo with surprise in his eyes.

Even his own Anbu had not yet discovered the information that Hanzo of the Salamander was planning to attack the Sand Village, but his good friend knew it.

It seems that Danzo has been secretly accumulating a lot of power for the Root.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen could never have imagined that the so-called information was actually just the anime plot that Danzo Shimura watched before he traveled through time.

"The Hidden Rain Village is just a mustard disease. Your three disciples can suppress it."

"You can immediately order the three of them to lead their troops to the front line and confront the Hidden Rain Village."

"Once the other side declares war, let them invade the Rain Country immediately."

"But the three of you are still very young, so we need an older jonin to take charge and coordinate."

"I suggest that either Mitomon En or Utane Koharu take the position."

Based on the plot of the anime before the time travel, Danzo quickly came up with a plan that was slightly different from the anime.

"When the time comes, I will go to the Hidden Rain Village myself to fight against the Salamander Hanzo."

In the anime, in the battle against the Hidden Rain Village, apart from the three ninjas, there were no other high-end combat forces.

The main purpose is to guard against the Sand Village.

Today's Sand Village, under the leadership of the Third Kazekage, who is known to be the strongest in history, makes no secret of its desire for the land of the Fire Country.

"Danzo, are you going to the Rain Country too?"

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, the booger-sized Rain Country does not need to be taken seriously at all, and it needs two comrades to take action personally.

"I have great confidence in my students. They can achieve victory even without our help."

"Hiruzen, it's not that I don't trust your disciple."

"My ultimate goal is to quickly end the battle with the Hidden Rain Village, and then raid the Hidden Sand Village from within the Land of Rain."

Although he said nice things, Danzo's real purpose was to kidnap Konan and the others.

How could we let go of something that could cause trouble for Uchiha Madara, the big boss in the later period of the Naruto world?

"So, a surprise attack?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and thought about the feasibility of this plan.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had stopped talking, Danzo did not urge him. He knew that the other party was thinking about whether there were any loopholes in this plan.

However, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen disagrees, he will eventually find a way to go to the Rain Country.

......

"I understand, Danzo, I'll do as you say."

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down the pipe in his hand and stared at Danzo with narrowed eyes.

For Danzo, sneak attacks are a real specialty.

Assassination, sneak attack, and stirring up trouble are Shimura Danzo's three specialties.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried that Danzo would fail.

"Speaking of war, by the way, I just happen to have a suggestion."

Originally, he had planned to wait until the war started before telling Sarutobi Hiruzen, but now is a good time.

"The Uchiha clan's ninjas can participate in this war."

The moment he heard Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's whole body tensed up.

Sure enough, this guy Danzo seemed to have other ideas about the Uchiha clan.

I just don't know what his purpose is.

"This is a war after all, and the Uchiha clan is an indispensable fighting force."

Danzo took a few steps forward and stood next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Humph, it's a bit of a waste to use this high-quality resource for village security work."

"This is all for Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the profile of his best friend beside him and thought for a moment.

"In that case, I will notify Mitomonen and Utane Koharu to come over tomorrow morning and have them discuss this matter as well."

What the hell is this? Let those two trouble-making consultants discuss it? They are just two brainless idiots messing around.

"Huruzen, you are the Hokage and I am the Hokage's assistant. We can decide on this matter between the two of us. We only need to inform them. Why do we need to let them discuss it together?"

Danzo really looked down upon those two guys who were more likely to cause trouble than to help.

They are just fools that he uses to balance Sarutobi Hiruzen. They do have some strength. When it comes to fear of the Uchiha clan, these two are as fearful of it as the original owner.

"Mitokado En and Utane Koharu are also your students. How can we exclude them?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect Danzo's reaction to be so big.

They were so close before, but now they look like they will fight as soon as they meet.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to notify the two Hokage advisors.

If I don't inform those two and settle the matter with Danzo, I'm afraid I'll be branded as a dictator within three days.

Naturally, Danzo Shimura doesn't care about fame, because he doesn't have any.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't do that. His position as Hokage was originally designated by the Second Hokage himself, which did not conform to the election system established by the First Hokage when the village was founded.

The ones who finally secured the throne of Hokage were his comrades-in-arms such as Danzo Shimura, Enma Mito, Koharu Utatane, and Toru Akimichi.

This is also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Danzo Shimura and these two advisors often did bad things openly or secretly, but still condoned them.

"It's better to go with Qufeng and be a good jonin." Thinking of that silly fat man, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth corners inadvertently rose a little.

"Hmph, you're too weak, Hiruzen!"

Danzo soon understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's concerns. How could a Hokage be so indecisive? Nothing great could be accomplished this way.

"I don't agree to let the two of them discuss it!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

"Hiruzen, you-you're going to regret this!"

"boom--!"

Feeling his anger rising, Danzo slammed the door and left after saying something harsh.
