Now he suddenly realized that he seemed to have given Danzo too much power over the years.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Anbu around him, a large part of them were cultivated through “Roots”.

When facing the possibility of Danzo's betrayal, he didn't know for a moment whether he should still trust the Anbu in front of him.

After thinking about it, he turned around and said to them:

"I will go and meet Danzo in person later, the two of you...

Well, you guys just wait here for me to come back."

The two Anbu looked at each other. Although they were a little confused, it was obvious that respecting orders had become an iron rule in their blood.

Without hesitation, they nodded and disappeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After thinking for a while, he finally asked someone to call in Nara Sora who had just left.

He walked around the table and pulled out a piece of paper with something written on it.

Just as he finished writing, Nara Sora walked into the tent.

He looked up at the Chunin, handed the note in his hand to him, and said:

"I'd like to trouble you to take this note back to Konoha and give it to Mitomon En or Utane Koharu in the Konoha building."

"Yes!"

Without asking any questions, Nara Sora took the note and put it away, then quickly turned around and walked out.

As Hokage, he must be prepared for the worst possible scenario.

After doing all this, Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered his clothes and walked towards the place where Danzo left without hesitation.

A few hours later, following the direction left by the guard, Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived in front of a huge waterfall.

And in front of him, on the huge rock under the huge waterfall, a familiar figure was standing there.

This person is none other than Danzo.

At this time, the wound on his severed right arm was wrapped with a thick layer of gauze.

Even though they were dozens of meters away, one could still see the red blood stains seeping out of the gauze.

"You came?"

Danzo didn't look back, but he could still sense Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach.

"Ah."

"So, you are planning to capture me and take me back to Konoha this time."

"Ah."

It was still a simple answer, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression began to darken.

"Ah..."

After a slight smile, Danzo finally turned around and looked at his longtime friend in front of him.

After a few seconds, a hint of anger slowly rose in his eyes.

Suddenly he asked loudly:

"What qualifications do you have to arrest me?

Don't you still know what's best for Konoha?"

Facing Danzo's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen responded in a deep voice:

"That's because you colluded with the outsiders..."

"So what!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Danzo.

Danzo showed a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, stared at him and said:

"Sure enough, Nidaime-sama made a mistake in handing the position of Hokage to you.

Sarutobi, do you think being the village chief is such a trivial matter?

As long as it is beneficial to Konoha, the method is not important, the result is what matters most."

However, facing his explanation, Sarutobi shook his head in disapproval and said:

"What you call beneficial to Konoha is actually just your personal opinion."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying this now.

But you know my personality very well, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch me back this time."

Apparently, Danzo no longer wanted to talk to him anymore.

As he finished speaking, a group of ninjas suddenly appeared around him, surrounding Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing those few "Root" members, and most of the other ninjas wearing forehead protectors with the Hidden Cloud Village emblem.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank rapidly.

It seems that Kagura knows Danzo better than I do...

He closed his eyes and sighed in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination.

Looking at the enemies around him, he said with a slight twitch of his lips:

"Danzo, I didn't expect you to have such a wide network of contacts.

Whether it's the Hidden Cloud Village or the Hidden Mist Village, it seems that as long as you want, you can always find someone to cooperate with."

In response to his "praise", Danzo said without any hesitation:

“In this ninja world, I can find anyone if I want.

Anyone! "

At the end, he seemed to emphasize the last three words.

"So, what bargaining chips are you giving them this time?"

This time, without waiting for Danzo's answer, a calm middle-aged man from the Hidden Cloud Village stepped forward and spoke for him:

“Chips?

Nature is you.

The head of Konoha Hokage-sama."

Looking at the malicious eyes of the people around him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became much more serious.

He suddenly shouted loudly into the air:

"You little brat, why don't you come out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black-haired young man appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

"Old man, you lose!"

It was Kagura who had been waiting all the time.

Chapter 40: The Strength of the Hokage

Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to come alone without anyone, so it was certainly not a momentary show of bravery.

Ever since he took the Flying Thunder God mark from Kagura, he knew very well that this kid would definitely follow him secretly.

Although it is unclear how strong this kid is now, judging from the fact that he was able to kill more than a dozen jonin from the Hidden Mist Village alone, he is probably at least at the level of Kage.

With their strength, even if they couldn't kill the person in front of them and escape unscathed, at least it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape.

However, he never expected that as soon as Kagura appeared, he said, "Old man, you lost!"

Just as his eyes twitched slightly, Kagura turned to look at Danzo and continued to shout:

"Hey, Lao Deng, I'll take your life this time."

As soon as he said these two sentences, the whole audience suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Although no one knew what he meant by the word "Lao Deng" to Danzo, considering the context, everyone was sure that it was definitely not a good word.

Danzo, who was named in public, also had a twitching cheek.

Looking at Kagura's smug face, he felt a pain in his right arm which had just been chopped off.

Finally, he, who usually kept his emotions to himself, shouted angrily:

"Go ahead, don't let them get away, especially that kid Kagura!"

As his die-hard fans, those members from “The Root” rushed forward immediately.

However, those jonin from the Hidden Cloud Village felt a little uncomfortable with his commanding tone.

However, after thinking about the purpose of this trip, they still chose to rush forward.

However, two people rushed forward before they could hesitate.

The target of those two people was Kagura who was standing in the front.

Clang! Clang!

Facing the attacks from the two men, Kagura immediately drew out her weapon and blocked them.

With two sounds of metal collision, Kagura jumped away from where she was originally standing.

After landing and standing firmly, he finally saw the two people rushing towards him.

Although he hadn't seen them for almost ten years, he recognized the identity of one of them immediately.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be here, Todai."

That’s right, the young man among the two who was wearing a uniquely shaped hat and had one eye covered.

It was none other than Toshiro, who had taken the Chunin Exam with him in the Land of Water many years ago.

As a representative of the younger generation of the Hidden Cloud Village, he naturally participated in the front-line battle this time.

However, compared with the high-profile Kagura, this young man, who looks honest and ordinary but actually has considerable strength, has not made any name for himself.
