In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 60: When a nation falls, a monster is sure to emerge; Konoha is in utter chaos.

"Minato Namikaze is back?"

"Humph."

"Is this the prized disciple of the Hiruzen lineage?"
"Your prized disciple who swept away Konoha's last line of defense in just a few days?!"

Danzo roared and slammed his fist on the table, immediately making Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's expressions turn ugly.

Although they secretly blamed Minato Namikaze, was this the time to discuss those issues?

I think.

Knowing his old friend's personality well, Mitokado Homura immediately spoke up, interrupting everything.

"Danzo, now is not the time to hold people accountable."

"Have you received a reply to the peace agreement you sent out?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo swallowed his words, his anger subsided, and his brows relaxed slightly.

Upon learning of Minato Namikaze's defeat, he immediately sent a letter of peace negotiations on his own, which, as expected, received the approval of the two advisory board members.

This was the first time he had exercised power akin to that of a Hokage.

Thinking of this, Danzo's anger completely dissipated, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

The taste of power, the taste of power in Naruto, is truly captivating.

After calming his excitement, his tone turned cold again.

"not yet."

After a pause, Danzo continued with unwavering confidence.

"However, judging from Kaguya Naoki's style of doing things, he probably won't refuse to negotiate peace."

Further attacks would not benefit him much.

"However, I never expected that after such a long war, we would have to negotiate peace with a small country like Kirigakure first."

Danzo snorted coldly and was about to continue the topic of his previous accusations against Minato Namikaze.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Danzo, I have brought you Kaguya Naoki's reply."

"Oh?"

"come in."

Danzo straightened his clothes slightly before accepting the scroll handed to him by the "Konoha ninja".

But when his confident and ambitious gaze swept over the words written there, it was immediately filled with rage, and veins bulged on his face.

Looking at the "Konoha ninja" in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Go down, return to the roots, and accept your punishment. You should know what punishment you will receive."

The "Konoha ninja" withdrew expressionlessly and went out.

Danzo handed the scroll to his two teammates, and even as they uttered arrogant words, his expression remained cold.

Konoha's ability to hold out until now is surely not solely due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's individual efforts.
If I hadn't been protecting Konoha in the darkness, how could Konoha have prospered?

His eyes widened, burning with fury.

As the root, it can only bear the darkness and rot in the soil.

Only by becoming Hokage can one bask in the sunlight on the cliff!

and so.

Naruto.

They're both from Naruto.

Danzo's heart was filled with murderous intent, and the fire of his ambition burned fiercely.

That brat Naoki Kaguya, I'll kill him sooner or later!

The position of Hokage must be held by me, Danzo.

No.

No.

A shadow suddenly appeared in his angry eyes, and he calmed down completely.

Don't rush, wait a little longer.

The responsibility for the defeat still lies with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Orochimaru conducted human experiments, and I have the evidence; I can do whatever I want with it.

Minato Namikaze could pin all the blame for the defeat on him.

Moreover, it is said that no one can cure that sickly ninja who cannot fight. How can he become Hokage?
Jiraiya and Tsunade, humph, those two guys probably have no intention of becoming Hokage at all.

If we look at it this way, doesn't that mean that the position of Fourth Hokage belongs to Danzo?
Danzo stood up, looked at his mediocre friend beside him, and gazed out the window at the crowd of people who were panicked and uneasy because of the defeat. A surge of lofty ambition arose in his heart.

Look at Hiruzen, how far Konoha has fallen under your rule.

In the future, revitalizing Konoha is what I, the Fourth Hokage Danzo, must do!
. . . . . . . .

The "Konoha ninja" stepped outside and realized that none of the Root ninjas intended to forcibly take her away, which made him inwardly complain.

Danzo, you're really confident.

Do you really treat your ninjas like obedient dogs, summoned at a moment's notice and dismissed at a moment's beck and call? However, this does make things convenient for me.

With that thought in mind, I went out the door.

The "Konoha ninja" walked into a dark alley and was met by three bone clones.

“The plan has changed; Danzo has sent me back. So, report your information so I can pass it on to the main body.”

The three bone clones nodded, and the "Konoha ninja" immediately pointed from left to right.

The first bone clone spoke with a somewhat strange expression.

"I was just about to announce that Minato Namikaze was largely to blame for the defeat when I discovered that the news had already spread throughout the streets and alleys."

He shrugged helplessly and complained.

"Before I even made a move, this rumor had already swept through the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

While I don't know what the public opinion was like for White Fang back then, it was probably nothing special.

Upon hearing this, the "Konoha ninja" nodded in satisfaction.

Although he knew that Minato Namikaze could not betray him, he could definitely win over Kushina Uzumaki.

This made her loathe and hate the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and then one day, when Obito Uchiha attacked the Hidden Leaf Village, their Rainbow Organization appeared and saved Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki.

When the Asura is reincarnated, he will be in the hands of the original body.

When the benefits far outweigh the costs, these methods will not be hesitated to be used.

He turned his head and said to another skeletal clone.

How did you do?

The bone clone immediately said.

"The news that Kushina Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki spread relatively smoothly. It's just that it obviously didn't attract as much attention as the fact that Minato Namikaze caused the defeat."

"it is good."

The "Konoha ninja" nodded; he had anticipated this. He looked at the last bone clone.

"What about you?"

The bone clone's face darkened instantly.

"Nobody cares about Danzo, who never appeared in the war."

The idea of ​​making him Hokage simply cannot spread!

The "Konoha ninja" smiled slightly.

"Then you don't need to continue. Just wait for the main body to call you."

"The main body? Is there anything else you need to do?"

The "Konoha ninja" had a strange expression on his face as he slowly stated his position.

"The main body wants to record the process of his coup and have you give it to the radical Uchiha as inspirational material to encourage them."

"Can it be done?"

The bone clone shook its head.

"Doesn't that mean we have to instigate the Uchiha clan to compete for the Hokage position?"

"Do we still need to persuade them about that?"

The "Konoha ninja" rolled his eyes, clearly dissatisfied with the clone's intelligence.

"Oh yes."

The bone clone scratched his head, and seeing this, the "Konoha ninja" said irritably.

"You go and do it."

"I continued to investigate Konoha, and then deliberately disintegrated, returning my memories to my original body to make it easier for him to make a decision."

"it is good."

The three skeletal clones nodded in unison and withdrew from the shadowy alley.

Only after the three bone clones completely disappeared did the "Konoha ninja" step out of the alley, and his expression immediately became strange.

The hurried crowd, barely concealing their panic, the Konoha ninja with grim and furious expressions, and the "masses" clamoring for accountability from Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This is a mess.

This feeling is just like the feeling of being hidden in the mist.

So, even Konoha has such a pathetic moment?

Walking and stopping, constantly looking around, the bone clone took a deep breath.

If the original body were allowed to come here and act arrogantly.

It's likely that this will generate greater public opinion, leading to more reparations and territorial concessions.

Of course, it is also possible that Konoha would see this as a provocation and completely abandon both battlefields, returning to Konoha to launch a full-scale counterattack.

Let's leave the specifics to the main body to consider.

Disrupting Konoha, finding the insect-carrying insects in Kirigakure, and immediately seizing power through a coup—we need to speed things up.

Also, everyone, please take care of your health. Recently, some people around me have been showing symptoms of being positive for COVID-19.
