Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight
Chapter 72 Shimura Danzo: An Old Guy from the Old Era
"Tsunade, you need to be clear about whether this Yun'an could be a rogue ninja from another village, or even a spy?"
This poses a significant threat to the entire village.
Koharu Utatane took a deep breath, trying to intimidate him with righteous indignation, "Everything that Mitokado Homura and I have done is for the good of the whole village. Even if you don't understand, you can't be so uncooperative."
Unfortunately, Tsunade found this explanation utterly absurd.
In her eyes, neither Hokage nor Konoha mattered as much as tangible benefits.
Although in the past storylines.
She had been persuaded by Naruto Uzumaki to take on the responsibility of protecting Konoha again, but now, having witnessed the so-called "politics," she saw through the true colors of Konoha's high-ranking officials from a perspective she had never considered before.
Dirty politics, hypocritical Naruto.
The ugly faces of so-called politicians like Mitokado Enoki and Utatane Koharu.
She saw it all clearly.
The fact that she didn't ask them to return the Senju clan's former assets and glory at this moment was already an act of great kindness on her part.
Otherwise, with Tsunade's strength, she could at least turn the entire village upside down, if not seize the Hokage position.
Never underestimate the prestige of the founder of the Thousand Hands Clan; his intimidating power is by no means weak.
If the Senju clan rebels, the Uchiha clan will most likely follow suit.
At that time, other small and medium-sized ninja clans, and even established clans like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, will also be affected.
Their roles in this are likely to become incredibly complex.
By then, it's hard to say whether Konoha will still be able to maintain its position as the top of the five great ninja villages and occupy all the advantageous resources.
Thinking about it this way is terrifying.
Therefore, faced with Tsunade's tough attitude, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were completely helpless and could only accept their defeat. They then turned their attention to the others around them.
"Jiraiya, you?"
"And then there's Shimura Danzo. Is he still planning to slink away and hide even now? That's just too shameful."
"Let me tell you, this is the Konoha that none of us want to see."
Jiraiya was called out, but he just touched his nose and didn't say a word.
Seeing that no one responded, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu could only resort to using the righteous cause to coerce the crowd.
In the past.
As neutral parties, the two of them have always been successful using this method.
But now, the situation is clearly different.
From the shadows, Danzo Shimura's figure slowly emerged, his face showing no sign of panic, but rather a half-smile.
Upon seeing this, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu both let out a cold laugh in unison.
They knew that the other party must be nearby.
"Now, is it time to speak?"
Mitomon En said in a deep voice.
Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room, also cast an expectant glance at her.
Danzo Shimura's reaction was merely a sneer.
"There's not much to say."
His voice was cold, with a hint of disdain, "What you see is Konoha as it is now."
On the contrary, the two of you have terrible taste.
It seems that not only did they fail to understand Yun'an's true nature, but they also failed to see through those around them.
"In this way, it becomes clear that the two of you will be dispensable to the entire Hidden Leaf Village from now on."
"You haven't even grasped the essence of politics; sooner or later, you'll be abandoned by the higher-ups in Konoha."
"If Yun'an really had a problem, that old bastard Ri Zhan would probably be jumping around here already. How could he still be so indifferent?"
"Are you really going to make a big fuss about such an obvious problem and waste the village's manpower and resources?"
Or is this how you intend to threaten the strong members of Konoha?
Danzo Shimura's face was full of mockery and sneer. Such arrogant behavior was unprecedented in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
This caused Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others, who were already quite familiar with him, to change their expressions drastically.
But then I thought, with Yun An now in charge of Konoha, even if the sky were to fall over the entire village, he could easily resolve the situation.
In comparison, Shimura Danzo's change seems rather insignificant.
Seeing Jiraiya and Tsunade's reactions, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter full of mockery for Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's short-sightedness.
"See that?"
He pointed around, his tone brimming with confidence, "The Hokage faction, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, and that high-ranking strategist Nara Shikaku, including Jiraiya right here, none of them have any worries about Yun An. You two old guys can just stay put as Hokage advisors; that way, you might be able to preserve your dignity in your later years."
Otherwise, the future Konoha will surely shatter your imaginations, and you will only become the wheels of history turning backward, crushed to pieces.
At this moment, Danzo Shimura's lofty ambitions seemed to be more than just empty talk; they were based on his so-called "foresight" and supported by strong theoretical foundations.
After saying that...
He then gave Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kurenai a deep look before saying softly, "A course called politics is indeed beneficial for a lifetime."
"I hope you won't disappoint this older generation too much."
He paused for a moment.
A glint of ambition flashed in his eyes, and he declared firmly, "The future Hokage position will surely have a place for me, Shimura Danzo."
Since Danzo spoke again, Tsunade and Jiraiya did not pay any attention to him.
The position of Hokage is certainly important, but for them, there are far more important things in the entire Hidden Leaf Village right now than this elusive title.
In their eyes, Yun An's strength might even be comparable to that of the Hokage and God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.
With such strength, even if the other party did not become Hokage or wear the divine robe, in everyone's eyes, this power, which is strong enough to crush the entire ninja world, is probably not much different from that of the Hokage.
Otherwise, it would be one thing if Tsunade was devoted to Yun'an, but Jiraiya's ambitions weren't just about his love, but also about his ninja way and the future peace of the entire human world.
The departure of Danzo Shimura seemed to signify the arrival of a new era.
And for this new era.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, these two conservative old guys, seemed to know nothing about this.
The two of them visibly began to panic, especially since Kurenai, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were talking to each other without any attempt to hide it from them.
However, the two of them were completely confused by what they heard, and their hearts began to ache with anxiety.
