Below the Hokage building.

The crowd was in an uproar!

Originally, most of the villagers and ninjas of Konoha didn’t know what would happen today. The previous daimyo’s consecutive murders were shocking to ordinary people, but they were far away after all. The previous vote by the jonin to remove Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was kept secret for the time being, and the jonin didn’t spread the news.

As a result, now, in the eyes of the villagers of Konoha, their own Hokage suddenly blew himself up!

The Third Hokage of his own village, the Third Hokage who always appeared in front of everyone as a kind old man, suddenly said that he had killed three daimyo in a row?!

Not only that!

Even the Uchiha clan annihilation incident was done by the genocidal Itachi with his acquiescence?!

“This…are these things true or false?”

“It should be true, after all, the Sandaime Hokage said it in public.……”

“But! How is this possible?! The Sandaime Hokage is so bold? He even dares to kill the Daimyo?!”

“The Uchiha clan was exterminated, and it was actually done at the behest of the Third Hokage… How scary!”

“The upper levels of the village are too dark.……”

“Shh! Don’t say that!”

“By the way, who is Danzo Shimura mentioned by the Third Hokage? Have you heard of him?”

“No, it seems like he is the assistant of the Hokage? I don’t think I have seen him much.”

The crowd was talking about it.

Whether it was the murder of the daimyo or the truth about the genocide of the Uchiha clan.

For the villagers of Konoha, it was a bombshell!

The filter that the villagers had originally had for Sarutobi Hiruzen as a kind old man was shattered in a short time!

“this……”

Nara Shikaku was also standing below the Hokage Building, looking at the rooftop with an unbelievable look on his face:”The Third Hokage… What on earth is he doing?!”

How could the murder of the Daimyo be announced in public in front of so many people?!

Especially, there is the matter of the extermination of the clan!

Even if this is true, you can’t just say it out loud!

The Konoha high-level officials exterminated a ninja clan in the village.

If this kind of thing is said directly, what will the ninjas in the village think? Will Konoha still have cohesion in the future?

“Shikaku, what is going on now?”

Yamanaka Inoichi was also confused, frowning and asked:”The Third Hokage actually said that Danzo had dissuaded him from exterminating the Uchiha clan… How is this possible!”

Is he treating them as fools?!

Shimura Danzo, the assistant Hokage, is undoubtedly the one who is most hostile to the Uchiha clan and 597 most afraid of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village!

He even dissuaded them?! This is complete nonsense!

“……I don’t know.”

Nara Shikaku pondered for a long time, shook his head and said:”Maybe… maybe there is some agreement between the Third Hokage and Danzo.”

“Agreement?”

Yan Zhonghai’s heart moved.

“What kind of agreement can be reached?”

Akimichi Choza scratched his head, not understanding:”Now the Third Hokage has publicly admitted to killing the daimyo, so he must be sent to the daimyo’s mansion to report, right?””

It’s already a situation where death is inevitable, how can I reach an agreement with anyone?

Above.

On the rooftop.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked normal and continued to narrate:

“……During the Third Ninja World War, due to my personal weakness and my neglect of the advice of Danzo, Konoha did not gain much benefit even though it was the victorious country.”

“During my time in office, Konoha’s overall strength declined. This is all my fault, and I should reflect on this once again.”

“Also, after a vote by all the jonin, I am no longer the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha.”

“Because of the mistakes I made, I am willing to atone for the daimyo who were killed because of my greed.”

“As for the future, I hope you can support Danzo’s work and continue to work hard for Konoha.”

“……”

Soon,

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his speech.

After that, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, and walked back from the edge of the rooftop.

“Very good, Hiruzen.”

Shimura Danzo had a satisfied smile on his old face, nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said,”As an important step towards the position of Hokage, I will always remember this moment in the future.”

……

Konoha Prison

“Since the truth has been investigated, what about Asuma Sarutobi? As the murderer of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he should also be taken back to the Daimyo’s Mansion!” As for Jiraiya , one of the three ninjas of Konoha who was suspected of killing the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, and Uchiha Itachi, the traitor who killed the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, what these two people did had nothing to do with the Daimyo’s Mansion of the Land of Fire, so naturally he didn’t need to worry about it.

“……”

Shimura Danzo’s eyes flickered slightly:”We have successfully found clues about Asuma Sarutobi during the interrogation process and sent people to capture him.”

“However, during the capture, Sarutobi Asuma put up a fierce resistance and a fierce battle broke out.”

“Finally, Sarutobi Asuma was hit by the Fire Release Ninjutsu and died on the spot. His body was so burnt that his original appearance could not be seen.”

After hearing this,

Di Lu’s face immediately turned ugly.

What the hell?!

With Konoha’s strength, they couldn’t even capture Sarutobi Asuma alive?!

They actually let someone die, and the body was unrecognizable!

How could he report back like this?!

“Danzo Assistant!”

Di Lu looked directly at Danzo and questioned:”Is Sarutobi Asuma really dead?��…Or are you unwilling to hand over the real Sarutobi Asuma?”

If Konoha handed him a body that was unrecognizable, how could he verify whether it was Sarutobi Asuma or some other scapegoat?

He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were both students of the Second Hokage and had been partners for decades. Maybe

Shimura Danzo had promised Sarutobi Hiruzen that he wanted to save Sarutobi Hiruzen’s son in this way!

“What I just said is absolutely true!”

Although Danzo felt helpless, he could only continue to perform seriously:”Sarutobi Asuma is indeed dead… This is a mistake in our Konoha’s actions.”

He had no choice.

He didn’t know where Sarutobi Asuma was now, or whether he was still alive!

He thought the truth was that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the mastermind who killed the daimyo, and Sarutobi Asuma was hidden by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In the end, who would have thought that his perfect guess was wrong!

He had no way to hand over Sarutobi Asuma now!

So, he could only make up such a lie.

“……Sarutobi Asuma, this is barely acceptable!”

Di Lu took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction and said:”What about Sarutobi Hiruzen? Now that Konoha has found out the truth, I should be able to take him to the Daimyo Mansion to report, right?”

“Assistant Danzo, this time, don’t make it so that a person can’t be identified after death!”

If Sarutobi Hiruzen also died inexplicably, and his body was unrecognizable and unrecognizable.

Then we can directly conclude that Konoha wants to protect people like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Asuma, and has no intention of really handing them over!

Just get a corpse of an unknown person and fool the Daimyo Mansion like this!

“……Of course.”

Danzo’s scalp tingled, and he reluctantly said,”It’s just that although the overall situation has been investigated, there are still some details that need to be investigated regarding the Daimyo of the Wind Country and the Daimyo of the Wave Country.”

“Therefore, it is not possible to hand over Sarutobi Hiruzen now. It will take some time.”

It really cannot be handed over now!

He used the Kotoamatsukami technique of the right-eye Mangekyō Sharingan on Sarutobi Hiruzen before!

But!

This Kotoamatsukami is only a short-acting Kotoamatsukami!

In a short period of time, it can modify Sarutobi Hiruzen’s will, and it will not be discovered by insight methods such as the Byakugan.

But after the effect of Kotoamatsukami is over, Sarutobi Hiruzen will wake up and find that he had modified his will before and let him take the blame for himself!

Once Sarutobi Hiruzen wakes up, and then he hands him over to the Daimyofu… then he will be finished!

This must not be done!

But…

Otherwise, there is only one solution that Danzo can think of: nothing can be found after the person dies.

But he can no longer use this method… If he does this again, he will be treating the Daimyofu as a fool!

Reluctantly handing over the land���I was fooled for the time being.

But. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Looking at Di Lu’s face when he was walking, if I can’t hand Hiruzen over to the daimyo, I’m afraid the daimyo will not agree to my succession to the fifth Hokage.

“well……”

Shimura Danzo couldn’t help but sigh.

He thought that after forcing Hiruzen to abdicate, he would be able to easily become Hokage.

But now, he is in a new predicament!

“Ryoma, do you have any ideas?”

Danzo asked his only remaining confidant with some worry.

“……”

Aburame Ryoma was silent for a moment, thinking and said:”First of all, handing over the Third Hokage is definitely not an option.”

Without Kotoamatsukami’s control, the Third Hokage will tell the truth… Then Danzo-sama will be finished.

And if the Third Hokage is killed directly, the Daimyo will not be able to continue the investigation.

Judging from Ji Lu’s previous attitude, this will not work.

“Lord Danzo……”

Aburame Ryoma pondered for a long time and said,”In the current situation, perhaps… we can only let the Third Hokage defect first.”[]

“……?!”

Danzo was listening carefully, but he was stunned:”Defection?!”

What the hell?!

If Hiruzen escapes, what will he do next?!

“On the one hand, if the Third Hokage defected, the daimyo would be more inclined to believe that he killed the daimyo and therefore fled for fear of crime.”

Aburame Ryoma analyzed and said:”After the Third Hokage defected, we sent people to hunt him down. But because the Third Hokage was still very strong, we could not capture him alive during the battle, so we could only kill him by force!”

“In this way… maybe we can fool the daimyo prefecture!”

On the other side.

Shimura Danzo was originally frowning, but the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Although there are still many loopholes in doing this

, it seems that this is the only way to deal with his current predicament!

……

Konoha Prison.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen’s cell.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu came to visit.

“Just in time!”

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the two men coming, he stood up suddenly, his anger rising:”Yan, Koharu, you two should know the truth! That bastard Danzo, he actually used Shisui’s Kotoamatsukami to control me before!”

This bastard!

He secretly kept a Mangekyō Sharingan of Shisui and actually used it on himself!

Now he can be said to be completely finished!

Even the matter of the Uchiha clan extermination was exposed in public! Even if he can clear the injustice of killing the daimyo, it will be impossible for him to succeed to the throne of Hokage again!

“……Hiruzen, calm down first.”

Mito Kado Yan said soothingly

“I’m still calm?! I’m about to be thrown out to die, how can you ask me to calm down?!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more furious, almost exploding with anger.

“Hiruzen, this time……”

Utatane Koharu hesitated for a moment before saying,”It was Danzo who said that because of a misunderstanding���So I hope to compensate you.”

“……”Huh?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused.

Danzo knew that he was not the one who killed the daimyo, but he still used Kotoamatsukami to control himself to take the blame.

He had done such a thing and was not far from death. What else could Danzo do to compensate himself?

“Ahem, Hiruzen, Danzo has a suggestion.”

Mitomon En looked a little embarrassed, not knowing how to say it:”Danzo doesn’t want you to be forced to die because of this misunderstanding… So, Danzo, he is willing to give you a chance to live.”

“……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more confused as he listened:”Let me live, how can I do that?”

Could Danzo really go against the daimyo for his own sake and refuse to hand him over?

No way?

How could Danzo be so bold?

However, if he wanted to give himself a chance to live, what else could he do besides this?

“……”Danzo, this bastard!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly:”He is not a bastard at all!”

Although it was indeed Danzo who got him into this situation.

But fortunately, Danzo did not force him to die.

His current situation is already difficult to save.

He can survive temporarily in this way and wait for the future to find out the real murderer of the daimyo. This is barely acceptable.

“Hiruzen……”

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said in unison:”Just defect!”

“……What did you say?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, unable to react:”Defect…who? Who is going to defect? What are you going to defect to?””

“Hiruzen, this is the way out that Danzo has given you.”

Mitomon En said,”It’s a little difficult to let Danzo go against the Daimyo Prefecture. But if you defect, Danzo can give an explanation to the Daimyo Prefecture.”

For the two of them, this ending is not bad.

Danzo has already made the situation like this.

Now, Hiruzen can save his life temporarily by defecting, which is good enough.

“……What are you talking about?!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses, his face gradually darkened:”I, I am the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha…Danzo actually asked me to defect? !”

Fuck!

I was just touched for nothing!

So Danzo is not going to fight against the Daimyo Mansion for me.

He is planning to let me defect and report to the Daimyo Mansion in this way?!

What the hell!

“Defect, defect… it’s ridiculous!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that his teeth were about to break:”If I defect, I will become a laughing stock in the whole ninja world!”

Now, he is just taking the blame for killing the daimyo.

Once this blame is cleared, it will probably not be a big deal.

And once he, the former Hokage, defected… no matter whether the blame can be cleared later, his whole life will become a joke!

“Hiruzen, calm down first.”

Mitomon En said helplessly:”This is the best concession Danzo has made. With Danzo’s character, he will never take the initiative to admit that he was wrong before. In this case, let you defect, so that you can at least save your life.”

“Otherwise, Hiruzen, think about it, Danzo will probably kill you and send your body to the daimyo.”

“……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression froze.

Although he wanted to curse, it seemed to make sense…

Danzo, that bastard, if he was forced into a dead end, he would just kill him and leave a corpse in the daimyo’s mansion… He could do such a thing! Shit!

Could it be that he really had no choice but to defect? .
