Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 29: Danzo: Hiruzen, you are old. Give up the position of Hokage.
Hatake Sakumo attracted a lot of attention during his transfer to the hospital.

Kakashi's pale, weak and crazy appearance not long ago made many ninjas have bad guesses.

After Hatake Sakumo entered the hospital, public opinion among the Konoha villagers was instantly suppressed.

It wasn't just the ANBU that were taking action, some ninja were also taking it on their own initiative.

When the villagers saw the ninja's cold eyes, as if he wanted to kill them, they wisely kept their mouths shut.

Konoha fell into a strange silence.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the news that Hatake Sakumo had committed suicide, he was so scared that he almost dropped the pipe in his hand.

He immediately put down the scroll document in his hand and learned the whole incident in detail.

After learning that Hatake Sakumo was not dead and was sent to the hospital.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a long sigh of relief and was extremely grateful.

"I knew that Aburame Shiyi had a strong talent, but I didn't expect that he could completely control the phosphorus bugs. Moreover, the act of using phosphorus bugs to treat the child shows that this child has the will of fire."

"Aburame Shiyi, great, great, you are worthy of being the seedling of the Will of Fire that I am optimistic about. This time, it can be said that Aburame Shiyi saved Konoha."

After feeling relieved, Sarutobi Hiruzen became afraid, and at the same time, his anger grew stronger.

"Someone, go get Danzo Shimura and the two Hokage advisors!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was really angry this time. Usually, he would just do whatever Shimura Danzo asked him to do, but this time it really crossed his bottom line.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not imagine the consequences of Hatake Sakumo's death.

The loss of a high-end military force will make the four major ninja villages concerned about Konoha.

But more important is the political impact.

Does Hatake Sakumo's suicide mean that he was wrong? Does it mean that the Will of Fire is wrong? Do we have to abide by the ninja mission code?

The situation of Konoha's internal and external troubles made Sarutobi Hiruzen terrified.

Wait until Danzo Shimura and the two Hokage advisors come to the Hokage's office.

He was facing the very serious and silent Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu saw this scene, they were infected by Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude and became very serious.

Danzo Shimura had a blank expression on his face, said nothing, and didn't even look at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very angry at Shimura Danzo's attitude. He had caused such a big mess, but he didn't even admit his mistake to him.

"Danzo, how did Hatake Sakumo's mission get leaked? What's going on with the public opinion among the villagers?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked sternly, his powerful aura pressing towards Danzo.

"Maybe someone leaked it. I will investigate it thoroughly when I get back and give you an explanation."

"Don't treat the village ninjas as fools!"

Seeing this, Utatane Koharu also said: "Danzo, you really went too far this time. If I hadn't rescued Hatake Shushige, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Danzo Shimura glanced at Koharu Utane. This guy was still highlighting his contributions and fighting for power at this time.

Besides, was it you who saved Hatake Sakumo? It was Aburame Shiit's Phosphorus Bug who saved him.

However, Aburame Shiyi's talent is indeed very strong, so you can try to accept him as a disciple. I believe that the phosphorus bugs will be very useful in human experiments. After all, the controlled nano-scale bugs are enough to force human experiments to succeed.

As he thought about it, Danzo Shimura touched his right hand.

Mito Kado En also joined the Danzo condemnation team and looked at Shimura Danzo.

"Indeed, without Xiaochun, the consequences would be very serious."

Seeing that the three people were condemning him, Shimura Danzo's face darkened.

If it weren't for the condemnation from these three people, Danzo Shimura would have no idea how many times he had been condemned. He had already become thick-skinned and was not afraid at all.

Shimura Danzo was upset because these three people condemned him again. This was not the first time, but it happened many times.
"I did all this for Konoha!" "For Konoha? Do you know that the consequences of this incident will affect the consciousness of fire and even cause irreparable damage to the cohesion of the entire Konoha ninja?"

Seeing that Danzo refused to repent, Sarutobi Hiruzen criticized him loudly, feeling extremely angry.

"Do you still see me as the Hokage?"

This sentence made Shimura Danzo lose his mind on the spot.

"It's not my fault, it's yours, Hiruzen!"

"It's my fault that Sakumo committed suicide?!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he trembled with anger.

But Danzo had already lost his mind because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and was not afraid at all.

"Hatake Sakumo, he threatens the Hokage master-disciple inheritance system, this is undeniable. Is it wrong for me to suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige for the sake of Konoha's stability?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were filled with anger.

"But you shouldn't use the Will of Fire and the Ninja Mission Code to attack Hatake Sakumo."

Shimura Danzo sneered.

"It's because of you that we have come to this, Hiruzen! You are old."

"I'm old?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in disbelief.

Shimura Danzo answered affirmatively, "Yes, you are old. I am the root of Konoha, and I must ensure the stability of Konoha, no matter what means are used."

"Hatake Sakumo's prestige has threatened the stability of the Hokage master-disciple inheritance system, so I will strike at Hatake Sakumo."

As he said this, Danzo Shimura looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I did strike a blow against Hatake Sakumo, but Hiruzen, what did you do? Don't you know what I did? Don't you know the public opinion among the villagers?"

"When I started this public opinion, I had already dealt a blow to Hatake Sakumo's prestige. My mission has been completed. The rest is your job as the Hokage."

"You must have known about the conflict between the Will of Fire and the Ninja Mission Code. You also know that the basic point of my launching this public opinion is dangerous."

"Huruzen, as the Hokage, you should have dealt with it as soon as possible when I stirred up public opinion. You should have communicated with Hatake Sakumo or demoted him openly and promoted him secretly. This would have both resolved the crisis and proved the warmth of the Will of Fire."

"But what you did, what you didn't do, that led to the situation almost getting out of control, it's all your fault."

"Huruzen! You are the Hokage!"

As he spoke, Danzo Shimura took a deep breath and felt refreshed all over.

Humph, you still want to put the blame on me? You’re dreaming.

Finally, Shimura Danzo concluded, "Huruzen, you are old, but I am not. Please let me be the Hokage. I will definitely lead Konoha well!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Shimura Danzo's words with a dark face and said nothing.

When Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu saw this situation, they knew that it was getting out of control, so they changed the subject.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now is to treat Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo must not be in any trouble."

Mitomon En paused and said, "Let's go visit Hatake Sakumo together, and then affirm Hatake Sakumo's behavior and calm this public opinion as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo snorted coldly, rushed out of the door, and felt very happy.

What a guy, it’s worth it that he worked so hard to think of a solution, he’s almost going bald.

But it was all worth it. Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen speechless because of what he said, Danzo Shimura felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

In the past, he was always left speechless by Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words “I am the Hokage”, but now he has finally turned the tables.
