Could it be that...?
Could it be that the whole reason lies in...?
And at that very moment, that incredibly familiar voice slowly knocked in his ears again.
"Four years ago, the third year after Uchiha Shisui's death."
"You claim to have planted foreshadowing in Amegakure, and you call yourself Hanzo of the Salamander. I'm sure you can give me a satisfactory response."
"But then what?"
"Uchiha Ara has returned unharmed, and naturally, he brought back a very satisfactory response."
If it weren't for your instigation back then, what would the Land of Rain, which was jointly built by the Akatsuki, be like today?
Please stop interfering in the affairs of the Land of Rain.
【Lord Danzo!!】
【otherwise........】
【Then let's fight!!】
“I remember every single word and every single sentence very clearly.”
"Please don't tell me you've forgotten, Danzo."
At this point, the kindness and gentleness on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face vanished completely.
All that exists is the indifference of those in power.
After a brief silence, he continued speaking:
"Three years ago, the fourth year since Uchiha Shisui died."
"Alright, that's enough, Hiruzen."
During this time, Koharu, who was in the dormitory, wanted to break the narrative because they had already understood what their usually calm and collected old friend wanted to say.
However, these words had no effect whatsoever.
Tonight, the Third Hokage, who rarely reveals his benevolent nature and bares his fangs, will lay bare everything from the past!
"The Hidden Mist Village, which is secretly controlled by the Akatsuki organization, launched an attack on Konoha."
"That was the best time to sacrifice what you call a threat, what you consider a hidden danger."
"Even at the risk of being criticized, Xiaochun Consultant has already laid out all the causes and effects."
"but?"
"But what did you do?"
"To defect at the most crucial moment? To support war?"
What were you thinking back then?
"To restore Konoha's honor? Or to vie for the position of the next Hokage!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and Koharu Utatane's attempt to stop him abruptly diminished.
How could she possibly forget that humiliation?
That was the best opportunity to eliminate Uchiha Ara without bloodshed!
But at the most crucial moment, they were stabbed in the back by their own people, who rejected their request for peace!
Thinking of this, he glared angrily at the one-eyed old man standing in the center of the conference room, then chose to remain silent.
"He will not be defeated when facing the Fourth Mizukage or the Fourth Raikage."
"Is such a record and such strength something that can be achieved with just the Sharingan?"
"Yet you actually dared to try to control and dominate him using the eyes you stole from the Uchiha clan, only to end up as a laughingstock and a source of suspicion."
"Don't you ever use your brain when you do things?"
At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was full of disappointment.
Danzo, on the other hand, remained as silent as a stagnant pool.
The inability to kill that person only made them stronger!
[So, the person who made Uchiha Arakawa who he is today is actually himself!!]
When such a conclusion settles in one's mind...
The indignant, questioning expression on the face of the man who prided himself on being hidden beneath the giant tree and on being able to completely wipe out all enemies threatening Konoha shattered completely.
"Three years."
"I thought you could come up with some good ideas during the three years of confinement."
"I never expected them to choose to hire the Akatsuki to eliminate Uchiha Ara?"
"If that rabble could truly be considered respectable, if they dared to ignore potential traps and mobilize their entire force, then they wouldn't need to hide under Hanzo the Salamander's protection!"
"Don't forget how much Uchiha Ara wanted to get rid of Itachi, who was also in Akatsuki."
"Why can't you see any of these?"
By the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi had exhausted all his energy to continue being angry; disappointment had permeated every corner and every inch of the air in the room.
"To show mercy to Uchiha Ara?"
"I've given you so much leniency and so many chances, but I never expected..."
"You're so useless."
The voice of the white-haired old man, spoken calmly, was filled with nothing but coldness.
Chapter 325 All you need to do is stand aside and watch quietly.
【humiliation.】
[Unwilling to accept it.]
This was the second time Danzo had felt so powerless since becoming a ninja!
Even though he lost most of his resources on the night he attacked the Uchiha clan, and even though he exposed the secret of his eyes and lost the trust of the clan heads when he confronted Uchiha Ara in front of everyone.
However, none of this made him feel particularly resentful; he only felt temporary anger.
That's it.
In the long underground years,
The darkness he endured, and everything he gave up, are something that no one else can truly comprehend!
What family, what subordinates, what reputation?
Everything he did was for one purpose:
He will spare no effort to eliminate any potential threats to Konoha, whether those threats come from his own allies or from external enemies.
of course,
A lingering obsession remains in Yu Zhi's heart.
However, compared to the prosperity of Konoha, this obsession still ranked second.
But today, a new desire has arisen in his heart, a desire that he desperately wants to achieve no matter what.
And in order to fulfill this desire...
'call.'
After escaping the endless oppression, Shimura Danzo let out a soft sigh of relief, his clenched fist slowly relaxed, and his bloodshot single eye gradually regained focus.
"Lend me all your direct secret service units,"
"This time, I will personally intercept that brat and eliminate him outside the border without leaving any hidden dangers or clues."
"Sandaime Hokage-sama."
For this desire,
He was even able to bow down to that old man he had fought with his entire life!
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office became strange.
Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses, the shocked look in his eyes fixed on Shimura Danzo as if he were seeing him for the first time.
Koharu Utatane, who was in a fit of anger, had a similar expression on her face. Although she still harbored deep resentment towards the one-eyed old man in her field of vision, she couldn't help but suppress her personal emotions at this moment.
They were well aware of the power struggle between Hiruzen and Danzo.
In everyday address, the latter would never use a respectful term like "sir," let alone the title of Third Hokage.
The mere mention of "Hiruzen" was already the greatest respect he could show.
But now,
Just now,
The once arrogant Danzo has actually bowed down to his old rival!
Although this was also because they needed something from the other party, it still greatly refreshed Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's understanding of the world.
after all,
The Danzo they knew could be accommodating to anyone for the sake of the village, but he would never show such a pleading attitude towards Hiruzen.
Even the person being asked couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation about the current situation.
Did I say something too harsh?
Or did my words touch a soft spot in Danzo's heart?
The Third Hokage stared blankly at the ambitious man who seemed to have transformed into a completely different person in an instant.
At this moment, he had shed his previous aggressive demeanor.
Perhaps the only thing that can be said is a humble request!
