Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 57: Sarutobi: Danzo! Good things should be shared!
After Sarutobi Hiruzen received the information from Jiraiya, he felt terrible.

If he wasn't paying attention, Danzo would give him a big trick.

"A Root ninja using Wood Release."

Sarutobi Hiruzen chewed over these words over and over again.

Wood Release is the unique bloodline limit of the first Hokage and can be said to be the orthodoxy of Konoha.

When the Wood Release experiment started, countless people participated. Even if they kept failing and dying, it couldn't stop people's desire for Wood Release.

This is the power of orthodoxy.

If he hadn't stopped it, who knows how many Konoha ninjas would have been sacrificed.

Now, this information told him that Danzo had privately disobeyed his orders and secretly conducted Wood Release experiments.

That would be fine, but this was not the first or second time that Danzo had disobeyed his orders.

But the problem is that the Wood Release experiment was successful! Danzo didn't even tell him! What does he want to do! Is he planning a rebellion?!

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly fell silent, took a puff of his cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and then tapped the pipe.

It's not impossible. Danzo is crazy about becoming Hokage, and now he has Wood Release... We have to be on guard.

"Ask the three Hokage advisors to come to the Hokage's office for a meeting."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the position of Hokage, thinking about the impact that the exposure of Wood Release information would have on Konoha.

"In any case, Wood Release should be in the hands of the Hokage."

The door of the Hokage's office was pushed open, and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En walked in.

It can be said that the main responsibilities of these two consultants are to attend meetings and be on call at all times.

"Xiaochun, Yan, you are here, please take a seat first, and we will talk together when Danzo comes."

Upon hearing this, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other. Their long-standing tacit understanding told them that Hiruzen's target for this meeting was Danzo.

They said nothing, and sat back, waiting to wave their flags while Hiruzen lectured Danzo.

Danzo Shimura rushed over immediately after receiving the news, but he was nothing like the two advisors who usually had nothing to do but wait for the meeting.

When Danzo Shimura arrived at the Hokage's office, he glanced at the two advisors who were sitting upright.

Damn it, why is he always the last one to arrive at every meeting? Are these two living in the Hokage's office?!

"Now that everyone is here, I'll make it short. This is Jiraiya's intelligence, you can all take a look."

Sarutobi Hiruzen passed the scroll to the three people and let them understand the situation.

"Humph, the credit obviously belongs to my disciple Zhiyi, how can the Uchiha get the credit! Hiruzen, you must not let the Uchiha rise!"

After Danzo read Jiraiya's information, he took the lead.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En nodded in agreement, "The Uchiha are indeed something we must guard against, Hiruzen, you have to be careful."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two pretentious guys speechlessly.

Can you please stop yelling at me every time you meet an Uchiha?

Is the focus on Uchiha? The focus is on the Wood Release Ninja of the Root! Don't let Danzo lead the meeting astray!
"We'll talk about the Uchiha later. Now the ninja world has spread that Konoha can reproduce the wood escape technique of the first Hokage, which has caused a lot of fear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly ended the topic of Uchiha. He couldn't care about Uchiha now.

"Also, Jiraiya also said that the ninjas from the Root on the Eastern Front used Wood Release. What's going on, Danzo?"

"Did the Wood Release Transplantation Experiment succeed?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone of voice was not harsh, but it had a kind of majesty that made people feel very pressured.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En had different expressions. They didn't say much, but stared at Danzo.

"Hiruzen! You know me well. If the Wood Release experiment is successful, I will definitely use it on myself first."

Danzo ignored the consultant's glare and replied calmly, "Danzo! What's going on with the Root ninja using Wood Release?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen emphasized his tone again. He was very happy that Danzo was willing to answer, but he didn't like the content of Danzo's answer.

"The Wood Release transplantation experiment has achieved some results. It can suppress Hashirama's cells, thus ensuring the success of the transplantation. But once Hashirama's cells are stimulated again, the experimental body will be quickly devoured by Hashirama's cells."

"All I can say is that there is a kind of Wood Release weapon that can allow them to unleash the power of Wood Release before they die."

Danzo's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Huruzen, let me go recruit volunteers. Future wars will only become more brutal. With Wood Release weapons, we can make up for Konoha's lack of combat power."

There was a hint of heat in Danzo's calm eyes.

As long as Hiruzen agrees, he can recruit volunteers on a large scale to create Wood Release weapons.

No matter what the attitude of the Konoha ninja towards the Wood Release weapons is, he can use this to make it public, and his prestige will be further enhanced.

"No, hand over the information on the Root Wood Release."

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly broke Danzo's fantasy and asked Danzo to hand over the results of the Root with a serious look.

"Huruzen! The news about the Wood Release Weapon has been leaked. The only way now is to manufacture it on a large scale, otherwise Konoha may not be able to withstand the pressure from the four major ninja villages!"

Danzo was unwilling to accept this, and he acquiesced to the leak of the news of the Wood Release weapon in order to use the pressure from the four major ninja villages to force Hiruzen to agree to let him conduct large-scale experiments on the Wood Release weapon.

Now that the plan is about to come to nothing, we naturally have to fight for it.

"I will consider whether or not to conduct the Wood Release experiment. Hand over the Wood Release data, Danzo! I am the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even raise his eyes and directly used his force to overwhelm the man.

Faced with technology that can truly change the war situation in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not going to play the game of you advance and I retreat, I advance and you retreat with Danzo.

Use your power to suppress others. I am the Hokage and I want it all.

Danzo's breathing suddenly became rapid, he clenched his fists, and his whole body was shaking.

Normally Danzo was very strong, even able to overpower the Hokage at times, but when the Hokage made up his mind, he was as fragile as paper.

So what about the Root? Can it compete with the Hokage who controls the entire Konoha?
No, I don’t have that ability.

"Wood Release is mine!"

"Wood Release belongs to the village. I have not yet investigated those who study Wood Release in private."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Utatane Koharu said, "Danzo, please hand over your skills. Wood Release can only play its greatest value in the hands of the Hokage."

"Yes, we will never forget the contributions of the Root, Danzo, thank you for your hard work over the years."

Mitomon En said to Danzo to comfort him.

Danzo had a blank expression on his face and he exhaled slowly.

"I understand. I will pass the information to the Anbu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office relaxed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo's angry expression and knew that he had to comfort his friend. After all, it was a bit too much to rob his friend of his years of hard work.

But there is no way, he is the Hokage.

It's so cold at high places.

"Danzo, thank you for your hard work over the years. Without your efforts, Konoha would not be so prosperous. I will increase the funds of the Root and expand its size and authority."

The benefits promised by Sarutobi Hiruzen made Danzo look much better.

The Hokage's office became joyful again.
