In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 129 Danzo: I am heartbroken that Hiruzen would do such a thing!

Did Hiruzen Sarutobi collude with Naoki Kaguya?
Hearing Danzo's words, most of the Konoha ninjas looked bewildered and disbelieving.

He was a kind elder with a gentle smile and a mouth full of the Will of Fire. He was also the Hokage who had done his best for the village. How could he possibly do such a thing?

These two things are completely unrelated.

However, this acting Hokage looks sinister and doesn't seem like a righteous character at all, so he might very well do something like this.

"follow me!"

Danzo looked at everyone's expressions. He prided himself on being able to read minds and knew exactly what they were thinking. He frowned deeply.

That monkey, that brainwashing guy, really managed to bewitch these idiots.

Soon, his brows relaxed.

never mind.

If you witness the transaction between Kaguya Naoki and Hiruzen Sarutobi with your own eyes, you'll believe anything.

Monkey, for the future of Konoha, bear some darkness.

After all, it's just that you seem a bit foolish because Kaguya Naoki went back on his word. That's nothing compared to the grievances I suffered in the past!

You're just stupid.

Being stupid is not a sin.

What you did to me before was nothing but slander, layer upon layer.

Danzo clenched his fist, a surge of ambition and pride welling up within him.

I will always be the Hokage!
Naoki Kaguya?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing the figure not far away, activated all his senses and became extremely vigilant.

Why is he here.

Almost instantly, he thought of Danzo.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence?

Hiruzen Sarutobi began to feel uncertain, which added to his unease.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi".

Naoki Kaguya was very conscientious. After confirming that Hiruzen Sarutobi had arrived, she immediately sent the Root ninja to the Pure Land and buried him deep under the sand to prevent this informant from leaking the news.

"I think we can still talk."

"Talk?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared neither sad nor happy, but he was already prepared for battle.

"Naoki Kaguya, we, Konoha, concede defeat and will not continue fighting."

"How well you can control Sunagakure depends entirely on your own abilities."

"Do not."

Naoki Kaguya shook his head, looking quite troubled.

"Our Kirigakure is far away and difficult to maintain its rule over Sunagakure."

"I think we can still discuss the agreement we reached with the fourth generation of your village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, not quite believing it.

"This is my revised treaty. If you have no objections, you can take a look."

Naoki Kaguya said, a half-smile on his face.

"I'm handing this credit to you, so you can get that Danzo out of power as soon as possible."

"That madman being the Hokage is no good for any of us."

Listen, Hiruzen silently accepted the scroll, his heart aching.

Although he also wanted to remove his old friend from the position of Hokage, he couldn't possibly make a deal with Kaguya Naoki.

He was very unwilling.

The reason he accepted the scroll now is entirely because of Danzo.

He knew his old friend very well.

If he doesn't do it, Danzo will.

Rather than leaving this agreement to a foolish old friend, it's better to have him do it himself.

In order to remove his old friend from the position of Hokage and prevent Konoha from suffering even greater losses.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had to endure the agonizing thought of eating flies while making shady deals with Naoki Kaguya.

I'm not that stupid old friend who can be fooled by you.

Thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the scroll, quickly scanned it, and his eyes inevitably showed a hint of resentment.

"These conditions are too harsh!"

"It can be changed."

As Kaguya Naoki spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze turned suspicious. When did this guy become so agreeable?

Soon, he wouldn't need to guess anymore.

Just as he was modifying and drawing on the scroll, and exchanging ideas with Kaguya Naoki from time to time, a large group of Konoha ninjas appeared in the distance!
The secret agents he had originally left behind to monitor Danzo were also among them.

As for the rest who weren't included, there's no need to think about it; it was also the work of that old friend.

After all, his old friend's root had never been damaged in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

A sudden surge of anger towards his old friend rose within Hiruzen Sarutobi!

This is an unprecedented rage.

"Look!"

That's the shouting of Root ninjas.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is indeed making some dark and evil deals with Naoki Kaguya!"

Danzo, also filled with righteous indignation, stepped forward, snatched Hiruzen Sarutobi's scroll, and questioned him in a cold voice.

"Hiruzen Kagesuke, what are you doing?"

"Selling out your country once is enough. Do you want to do it a second time?"

"No wonder the attempt to divide up Sunagakure failed this time. It's because of guys like you who are single-mindedly focused on their own selfish interests."

Danzo's voice was loud, and Hiruzen's face darkened, knowing that any rebuttal would be futile.

This old friend is best at this kind of thing; any flaws he can think of have definitely been patched up.

This time, we failed!

Hiruzen sighed.

Seeing Hiruzen's dejected state, Danzo raised his voice even louder, but he couldn't dispel the Konoha ninja's suspicions.

After all, his previous actions were too coincidental, which made these Konoha ninjas somewhat suspicious.

But when they heard about treason, the ninjas' eyes all changed in unison.

Yes.

Not long ago, it was this third-generation leader who signed some unspeakable treaties.

Past memories are attacking their psychological defenses.

Danzo didn't falter this time either. He walked up to Kaguya Naoki with neither arrogance nor servility, and looked very serious.

"We will not back down!"

The expressions of the Konoha ninjas gradually changed, and they began to have a strange feeling towards Danzo.

Danzo, the darkest figure in the ninja world, the most ruthless and tough man in their memories, still refused to compromise at this moment.

Perhaps he would be a more suitable Hokage for the turbulent Konoha than the Third Hokage!
"Oh."

Naoki Kaguya replied calmly, knowing that his performance was over.

However, good actors must learn to add their own scenes.

If you're going to sow discord, then go all the way.

"Although your Konoha has decided to renege on this agreement."

"But we won't return what we received earlier."

Naoki Kaguya's voice was very calm.

"We'll take those seven ninja swords back."

Danzo's expression darkened instinctively; he felt a pang of heartache and wanted to question him.

Thinking of something, he felt a surge of joy.

Hiruzen, you've lost this time!

Of course, as the Hokage, he still had to give him a stern lecture.

"Lord Mizukage, I believe..."

"Let's talk about it later. Right now, I really want to know who's in charge."

Danzo's face darkened, and he was about to say something more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately retreated, revealing Danzo's form.

He felt incredibly bitter.

Let's not argue anymore, at least not today!

Although that old friend is evil and foolish, he would never betray the interests of Konoha.

Let him be.

Danzo first glanced triumphantly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then looked back at Naoki Kaguya and began to formally discuss the resolution to end the war.
