Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Seeing the appearance of the monitor, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly found a matching face from his memory.

This person should be called Watanabe Takeshi, a Chunin from Konoha Village.

And he was sure that this person had joined the "Root" organization.

You know, Danzo established the "Root" with his consent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen personally checked the list of the first batch of people to enter.

At this time, the guards guarding the Hokage building finally came out.

When they saw the person falling down at Sarutobi Hiruzen's feet, their expressions changed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hands at everyone and said calmly:

"Send this man to the Root, and Danzo will understand what happened."

In the office of the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo sat opposite each other, with a steaming cup of tea in front of each of them.

After Danzo came in, the two of them maintained an eerie silence.

At this time, Danzo was still young, and he was not wrapped in gauze, nor did he deliberately hide one of his arms.

Although there is an X-shaped scar on his chin, it does not affect his handsome face.

As a man who is capable of competing with Sarutobi Hiruzen for the position of Hokage, he has a calm aura.

It can be said that if it were not for the personal appointment of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

He may not be unable to replace Sarutobi Hiruzen and become the third Hokage.

Finally, it was Danzo who spoke first and broke the silence.

"I never gave the order to monitor you."

After a pause, he continued:

“You and I both know very well that if I really had this idea, I would not send such a character here.

The only person who could come here to carry out this kind of mission is me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip slowly, and then spoke:

"I know.

But I want to know what mission you originally assigned to Watanabe Takeshi."

After looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in silence for a few seconds, Danzo finally chose to confess.

"The person I originally asked him to monitor was Uchiha Kagura."

"Uchiha Kagura?......"

Muttering to himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen savored the meaning of these words.

In an instant, he understood many things.

He laughed out loud, shook his head helplessly and said:

“It seems that you still have a lot of people around me.

Uchiha Kagura just revealed his strength this afternoon, and you were able to take action so quickly."

Danzo remained calm and explained:

“You must have misunderstood something.

You do have my people around you, but their mission is not to spy on you.

After all, those who come out of the 'Root' will eventually become 'Anbu'.

They were just sent by me to protect you. After all, in reality, you will be the third Hokage of Konoha Village."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the cup, looked into Danzo's eyes and said:

"Then your defense against Uchiha Kagura may not be a misunderstanding."

Danzo did not deny it and said:

"yes.

You should know the horror of Uchiha better than me.

Even a figure like Lord Tobirama never dared to let his guard down against the Uchiha clan.

I don’t think it’s wrong to monitor the younger generation who have outstanding abilities.”

"The problem is that you failed!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, put his hands on the table, looked down at Danzo and said:

“Although I don’t know how that kid Kagura did it.

But the person you sent to monitor him was deceived by his magic and came to me!

This is him expressing his goodwill and dissatisfaction!

Not killing the man shows that he still has good intentions towards the village.

By sending people to me, he is expressing his dissatisfaction.”

He stared seriously into Danzo's eyes and warned:

"If you can do it without him finding out, that's fine.

But since he has the ability to discover, stop what you are doing.

I don't want a potential future to be pushed against Konoha because of your personal suspicion."

Danzo frowned, still wanting to refute:

"But......"

“No buts.

Lord Mito had seen the Kagura with his own eyes during the graduation ceremony yesterday.

Mito-sama believed that the boy was no threat to Konoha.

You should be well aware of Mito-sama's abilities."

Even Danzo fell silent when he heard the name of Uzumaki Mito, who had dedicated his entire life to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen left the table and came to the window.

Gazing at the Konoha Village under the night sky, he spoke again:

"Danzo, I understand your determination to protect the village.

However, the village cannot develop by simply using dark means.

Times have changed. I firmly believe that the leaves can dance better in the sunshine."

Danzo is gone.

Although he didn't say anything in the end, he also acquiesced to Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

Looking at the backs of his former companions hidden in the darkness, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt more and more how difficult it was to become Hokage.

"Sarutobi-sensei?"

Suddenly, a voice brought him back to his senses.

When he turned around, he saw that the person coming was Tsunade.

It turned out that after today's test, Tsunade felt distressed about her own weakness for the first time.

After thinking for a long time after returning home, she decided to come and see the teacher to ask about the future training direction.

Knowing Sarutobi Hiruzen's daily schedule, she headed straight for the Hokage Building.

Because of her special background, the famous Princess Tsunade walked to the Hokage's office without any hindrance.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the teacher was not sitting at the desk handling official business as usual, but was standing by the window in a daze.

Looking at the well-behaved disciple in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and replied:

"Oh, nothing.

I just dealt with some troubles with that Uchiha Kagura kid."

Uchiha Kagura?

When she heard the name, Tsunade's eyes suddenly brightened.

She quickly pulled on Sarutobi's sleeve and asked:

"What happened to that idiot?

You must have gotten into some trouble again!"

Looking at Tsunade who suddenly became excited in front of him, a trace of vigilance flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and a possibility came to his mind.

Although he personally has no prejudice against Uchiha, if Tsunade, who represents the Senju clan, and that Uchiha kid really have something in common.

Then I'm afraid he, as Hokage, will have a lot of trouble.

He looked Tsunade up and down and asked directly:

"Tsunade, why do you seem to be so concerned about that kid Kagura?

Do you like him? "

Tsunade didn't expect Sarutobi-sensei to ask so directly, and a blush appeared on her face.

She shook off Sarutobi Hiruzen's sleeves and said in panic:

"Teacher, what are you talking about?

How...how could I possibly fall in love with that kind of idiot!

I just don't like that arrogant guy who always looks down on others.

Besides, as rivals of the same class, it is normal to want to surpass strong opponents!

I didn’t pay any special attention to him!”

He was a little stuttering when he first spoke, but later he seemed to have found an excuse for himself and became more and more confident as he spoke.
