As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

However, just as he was getting into a state of thought, the commotion of cursing in the distance interrupted his thoughts.

Looking up, a look of relief appeared on Itachi's face.

Well, he's not the only one who cares about the village.

But

God knows how they even got together!

"This is not a healthy Will of Fire. If my father had gone to the front lines himself, so many people would not have died!"

"Itachi, what do you say, is it or not?"

Asuma, the god of itachi, grumbled and plopped down next to him, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"Lord Hokage must have his own reasons."

Itachi remained silent for a moment. Although he somewhat agreed with Asuma's words, he did not know what the Hokage was really thinking, and he dared not speak rashly.

As the eldest son of Fugaku Uchiha and the eldest son of the Uchiha clan, he seems to understand some of the ideological conflicts between the clan and the village.

There are some things he dares not think about deeply now, and he can't understand them. He just feels that his people are too selfish.

Young Itachi only believed what he saw with his own eyes.

He saw his clansmen showing off in a very high-profile manner every day, which was obviously inappropriate when the village was in danger, but his father was very lenient with the behavior of his clansmen.

"There's no need for all that nice talk; he's just hopeless."

Asuma shook his head, a look of melancholy on his face, and then took out a cigarette and handed it to Itachi.

"Want one?"

I really can't come.

Itachi declined Asuma's offer and quickly shook his head.

The atmosphere fell silent. The two men, who didn't like their own fathers, finally got together.

The cause of things is often very simple: a chance encounter makes the rebellious Asuma amazed by Itachi's ideas, and Itachi is also happy to have a friend who is willing to listen to his thoughts.

Even though one of these two people is the eldest son of the Uchiha clan and the other is the son of the Hokage.

But when they talk together, they often forget their own identities.

Over the course of a few days, both of them felt they had benefited greatly from their conversations.

Of course, Sarutobi Asuma reaped the greatest rewards.

I don't know about other things, but after spending some time with Itachi, he found himself increasingly displeased with his own clansmen and his father, and this displeasure resonated with Itachi.

In short.

It's hard to imagine what kind of outcome these two would have together. If Chief Hijiri were to witness this, he'd probably silently pray for the Sarutobi clan.

"Didn't I tell him to stay away from Itachi Uchiha?"

far away.

Having just delivered an inspiring and morale-boosting speech, which calmed the villagers down.

Sweating profusely, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook off the sweat and finally had a moment to light his pipe and take a puff.

But upon closer inspection, his old face darkened and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.

His second son is really a handful!

He has no idea how much of a negative impact his words have on him as the son of the Hokage!

"Have we been able to identify those who secretly contacted Asma before?"

With a stern face, the old village chief looked at the woman beside him and asked.

"Uh"

After a moment of contemplation, Shinobu Yuhi appeared hesitant to speak.

"Just say it."

The old village chief waved his hand, signaling him to speak boldly, saying that they were nothing more than the Uchiha or Hyuga clans!

The situation is not optimistic, but they can hold on for the time being. He believes that as long as they persevere, the Hidden Cloud Village will eventually retreat. After all, as the attacker, the Hidden Cloud Village faces much greater supply pressure and consumes more resources than the Hidden Leaf Village.

As long as the attack from the Hidden Cloud Village is stopped, that will be the achievement of the Third Hokage!

Now let's record the petty tricks that some people did during the war, and when the war ends, it will be time to settle scores!

"The brothers in the sixth team said that the people who contacted Master Asuma disappeared at the Root base."

It's no wonder that Kurenai Yuhi hesitated to speak.

Since the unspoken rules of Konoha involve Lord Danzo, there's no need to continue the investigation!

"fart!"

This time, however, the old village chief couldn't hold back any longer and started swearing.

"Danzo has already gone to the front lines, and they're still trying to pin the blame on him?! Do these people think I'm an idiot?!"

Then just consider me an idiot, why are you getting angry?

Kurenai Yuhi stepped aside expressionlessly.

And at the same time.

At the border of the Land of Fire, the commanders of Konoha were gathering together.

Among them was Shimura Danzo, a former convict!

Suddenly, Danzo seemed to sense something and involuntarily took a deep breath.

"Ah!"

After a sneeze landed squarely on Nara Shikaku's face, Danzo, having regained his composure, wiped his face, then flashed a confident smile and pointed at the map with the hand he had used to wipe his nose.

"No one understands war better than I do!"

"We will definitely win this battle!"

Chapter 47 Danzo's Ingenious Plan in Ankonoha.

Who was Shimura Danzo?

He was a powerful figure who devoted himself to the village until his dying breath, and who could take a bridge with him even in death.

He was someone who looked down on the positions of advisors to the same Konoha F4, believed he could go toe-to-toe with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and that he could become Hokage himself; he had long since transcended such low-level interests.

He was even a powerful ninja who would personally go to the battlefield and pretend to be a corpse to prolong the war.

Looking back on Danzo's life, it was truly magnificent, intertwined with the history of the ninja world.

Whenever someone needs to take the blame, he's always there.

On a grand scale, he could influence Nagato's descent into darkness and determine the direction of the ninja world; on a smaller scale, even a dog in Konoha suffering from diarrhea might have been caused by eating the unclean excrement of the Shimura clan.

and so.

Even someone as powerful as Danzo, how could he be willing to distance himself from the center of power like this?

In order to clear his name, the old village chief had previously made a clear statement by cutting ties with Danzo and removing him from his position as leader of Root.

Even though the Root organization still effectively belongs to him, this is a real blow to Danzo, who values ​​his reputation.

Not to mention, the villagers don't show him the respect he deserves.

This is absolutely not okay!

Therefore, under this premise...

Arriving at the front lines, Danzo, who had infiltrated the command line, fully utilized his intellect and then summarized all the wars he had participated in during the first half of his life.

Finally, he brought his proposal to the command post, intending to make a great contribution and return to his former position!

He could even go further, gain the support of the frontline commanders, and seize the position of Hokage!

"I have fought countless battles in my life. The current conflict between Kumogakure and Konoha is nothing more than a minor incident."

In front of a group of ninjas, Danzo Shimura said the following.

You know what, even though Danzo has a bad reputation now and is even blamed for the village's heavy losses during the Nine-Tails' attack, his words still carry some weight.

no way.

He is indeed very senior.

From the death of the Second Hokage in the First Shinobi World War to the near end of the Third Shinobi World War, Danzo's figure is interwoven throughout the timeline; he is always the most active one on the battlefield.

So naturally, seeing Danzo's confidence, the ninjas felt a glimmer of hope.

That is Lord Danzo after all!

Of course, there were also some clear-headed people on the field.

For example, Nara Shikaku, Konoha's strategist and the Hokage's personal advisor, frowned.

He thought of something very real, a statistic he had casually looked through in the intelligence department before.

After reading it, he was unable to calm his emotions for a long time.

The statistics are described very clearly. They record the results of all the battles that Shimura Danzo, a high-ranking official in Konoha, directly participated in.

He participated in a large number of battles, making Danzo a model worker in Konoha in this respect.

But those bright red battle results are truly eye-catching.

Yes.

In every war that Danzo commanded, Konoha suffered heavy losses without exception!

It's hard to imagine just how devastating he was to Konoha. It's not a matter of ability anymore; it's a kind of mystical force! A terrifying law of cause and effect!

So now, Nara Shikaku felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Danzo pointing out the flaws in the world.
