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

In response to his question, Kagura just smiled and said nothing.

But he didn't need to answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen probably guessed that it was Jiraiya, that unreliable guy.

The two of them automatically ignored this issue and did not discuss it further.

Looking at Kagura, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked:

"So, what happened to you guys?"

Kagura did not answer, but instead nodded at Nara Sora who was standing beside her.

Nara Sora sighed after receiving the signal, but still stepped forward and began to speak for Kagura.

From the moment he accepted the task, he began to narrate from an objective perspective.

When he heard that Danzo colluded with the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village just for Kagura's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

In fact, this was the first time he knew about this.

Although before coming here, based on his understanding of Danzo, he already had a rough guess.

But when he actually heard it, a hint of anger still rose in his heart.

Without interrupting Nara Sora's narration, he waited calmly until the Chunin had told all the facts before he lowered his head and began to ponder.

After a moment, he looked up at Kagura and asked:

"What do you think?"

"No, I'd rather hear your thoughts first."

Facing her former teacher, Kagura did not show any emotion, but asked back with a blank expression.

Looking at Kagura in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly.

He thought he knew his disciple quite well.

Over the years, Kagura seems to have always shown a non-competitive character.

Be it the Uchiha clan leader or the position of Hokage, this kid has no intention of coveting it at all.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that this kid also had his own weak spots.

He values ​​his own life and the lives of his companions more than the lives of the Konoha Village.

It is also because of this that Sarutobi Hiruzen has never had any intention of making enemies with Kagura.

Because he firmly believed that as long as Konoha did not go too far, this kid would not take the initiative to deal with Konoha.

After hesitating for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and looked at Kagura and said:

“How about this?

I stripped Danzo of his status and imprisoned him in the village prison for treason.

what do you think? "

Hearing this, Kagura just shook her head and said with a firm face:

“It’s not enough, it doesn’t make sense at all.

To Danzo, Konoha's prison is no different from his own front door."

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Kagura still felt relieved.

Kagura knew very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen had special feelings for Danzo.

In the original work, Sarutobi Hiruzen repeatedly turned a blind eye to the mistakes made by this old partner.

It was his indulgence that led to all the tragedies that followed.

For him, being able to come up with such a method was already the limit.

In fact, this was also a test of Sarutobi Hiruzen by Kagura.

He brought Nara Sora, Nawaki and the others along and asked them to tell the story in order to avoid suspicion.

But if, knowing everything, Sarutobi Hiruzen still deliberately protects Danzo.

I'm afraid Kagura will really take Tsunade away from Konoha.

After all, even if he wanted to destroy Uchiha Madara's plan, it didn't mean he had to stay in Konoha.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's answer still made him feel a little satisfied.

Looking at the teacher's solemn expression, Kagura said jokingly:

"How about we make a bet, teacher?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Kagura's words, a hint of doubt flashed across Sarutobi's face.

Kagura continued:

"Teacher, what do you think Danzo will do if you just go to the Konoha camp like this?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said confidently:

"No matter how he operates, I am the Hokage, and those Konoha ninjas will not obey his orders."

"is it?

What if it is forces from other villages?"

Hearing this, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

"You mean?"

"Since he can unite with the people of the Hidden Mist Village to deal with me, why can't he unite with the people of the Hidden Cloud Village to deal with you?"

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking and could only remain silent.

Kagura didn't care and continued:

“So I said I’d like to make a bet with you, teacher.

If Danzo really does nothing, surrenders obediently, and goes back to Konoha with you.

Then I agree with you and put him in Konoha Prison.

But if he is really prepared to resist, then..."

Having said this, Kagura paused for a moment before continuing:

“Then his life is mine.

He will die, I say, even the God of Ninja can't stop him!"

Seeing Kagura's determined eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped saying anything and expressed his agreement with silence.

After all, if he dared to join forces with external forces to plan even when facing himself, the third Hokage.

Even he could no longer tolerate Danzo.

Finally, Kagura looked at the yellow paper with Flying Thunder God on it in his hand and said:

"Just take this with you. If anything happens, I can always support you."

In response to Kagura's suggestion, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refuse, but silently put it in his pocket.

Looking at the outline of the Konoha camp in the distance, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself:

"Danzo, Danzo, I hope you won't let me down."

Chapter 39: Danzo's Desperate gamble

After saying goodbye to Kagura, he went directly to the Konoha camp with Nara Sora and others.

In any case, no matter what Danzo's plan is, it will only target him or Kagura at most.

For minor characters like Nara Sora and Nawaki, the safest thing to do now is to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen back to Konoha.

As soon as they arrived outside the camp, the two Konoha ninjas in charge of security recognized the Hokage.

After all, everyone in Konoha knows that when the Hokage is not wearing the Hokage robe, he will wear a black tight combat uniform.

And now he was coming here in combat uniform.

After making a gesture to the other guards in the camp to indicate that there was no danger, the two men rushed out and knelt on one knee in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen to greet him.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say much. He just told them to settle Nara Sora and others around him, and then walked straight to the tent in the middle of the camp.

Without any hesitation, he directly lifted the curtain of the tent, and then he saw no one inside except for the scrolls and notes.

Seeing this, he frowned and said to the guard who was responsible for Danzo's safety:

"Where is your Danzo-sama?"

Facing the Hokage's question, the man did not hesitate and replied respectfully to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

“Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama has been at the front since yesterday and has not returned yet.

Oh, right.

Before he left, he told us that if you come here, please know where to find him."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank.

It seems that Kagura really guessed it right, which is obviously a bit weird.

He asked the guard beside him in a deep voice:

"As Danzo's guards, didn't you go with him?"

The guard looked embarrassed and answered hesitantly:

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama wouldn't let us go with him, and only took two members of the Root with him."

Hearing this, he confirmed the guess in his mind a little more.

He waved his hand to let the man in front of him go out, and two Anbu members appeared behind him.

As the Hokage, he would naturally be accompanied by members of the Anbu whenever he traveled.

But when he looked at the two Anbu in front of him, he felt a bit bitter.
