The Konoha troops led by Sarutobi failed to repel the Kumo ninja in the Iron Kingdom and were forced to evacuate.

The daimyo of the Fire Country are actively negotiating with the daimyo of the Thunder Country, and the two sides are still in dispute over the proposal to cede part of the Fire Country's territory.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was forced to retreat to Konoha Village, has not been seen for a long time. There is a rumor in the village that the Third Hokage suffered serious physical injuries in the battle with Kumo Ninja.

But today is not a good time for sunshine and wind. The sky is gloomy and heavy rain is about to begin. Sarutobi, who has one arm slung with a bandage and a haggard face, has been standing at the entrance of the village for a long time. There is no one else at the entrance of the village, no Shadow Guards, no

There is no one in the Anbu hidden in the dark.

There was a muffled crack of thunder, and then the dark cloud-covered sky became brighter. Countless electric snakes twisted and twisted in the sky, lighting up most of the sky.

The rain finally came down. Konoha Village is surrounded by dense trees. Not only outside the village, but also at the door are towering trees. The raindrops pattered on the leaves, making the sound disturbing.

His arm suffered a near-crushing wound, and his lungs were almost penetrated. Konoha's medical ninjas repeatedly warned him not to smoke anymore, but it seemed that Sarutobi didn't take the doctor's words to heart. He stood here for who knows how long, smoking one pipe after another.

The tobacco leaves were evacuated, and the air was filled with the lingering smell of tobacco. Sarutobi's face became paler after he coughed violently from time to time.

After waiting here all morning, no one was seen. Finally, Sarutobi smiled, but then his smile froze.

After the hazy rain, fog and trees, Danzo's group from the expedition to Kong Ninja Village finally returned.

"Seven..." Sarutobi's lips trembled a little.

"Danzo!" he yelled, just as another thunderbolt covered his voice.

Danzo insisted on leading his family's ninjas out to fight in order to teach the bastards who destroyed the Uzumaki Ninja Village a lesson. During the expedition, there were more than 150 ninjas from the Shimura clan, but only seven came back, including Danzo who was lying on a stretcher.

Hidden, including other Shimura ninjas who were leaning on crutches and suffering from varying degrees of injuries.

"Sarutobi, you bastard!!" Danzo roughly pushed away the tribesman who was supporting him, grabbed a crutch, roared, and limped towards Sarutobi like crazy.

"Why are you retreating from the battlefield?!" Danzo punched Sarutobi hard in the face. Danzo, who seemed to have exhausted all his strength, leaned on a cane and gasped. His eyes were red, "Don't tell me,

You're scared! Hiruzen!"

In Konoha, there seems to be only one person who can accuse the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, his former enemy and rival.

"Sorry, the reason why I retreated from the battlefield is not because the enemy is strong, but because of other things." He calmly bent down to pick up the dirty pipe that fell on the ground. Sarutobi's expression did not change much, but his eyes could not hide his shame.

"Duanzo, we are in big trouble and I need your help."

…

"What happened to you? Why are there so few people left?" An arm supported Danzo. The royal robe belonging to the Hokage had no pockets, and there was no place to put the pipe. In the end, Sarutobi threw it away casually. In the pouring rain,

It disappeared after a while.

"Fa...what happened?" Danzo couldn't hear a word Sarutobi asked, "Was the village...under attack?" Along the way, the once bustling streets were no longer visible, and there were countless houses.

The destruction was full of traces of smoke and fire, and materials for repairing the building were piled on the ground in a mess, with almost no place to stand.

"What the hell happened?!" Danzo asked in a voice again. His arms couldn't free themselves from Sarutobi's support, as if Sarutobi didn't give an explanation and he didn't mind having another duel now.

"Go back and I will tell you everything." Sarutobi sighed and remained speechless.

…

There is a truly strongest genin in Konoha. He is not the Matt Dai mentioned by Uehara, but a certain genin whose combat power is not that outstanding and who exists more like a flag.

Because a certain mission failed and resulted in the death of a companion, Kosuke gave up any opportunity to be promoted to chunin in order to commemorate his companion. After understanding his will, no matter the first, second or third generation Hokage, they were moved by it.

, taught his unique ninjutsu, and as a result, Konoha's strongest genin, who possesses the unique skills of the Third Hokage, was born.

"Well," he picked up the spoon and tasted a little carefully. An intoxicated look appeared on Kosuke's face, "I added fresh mushrooms to make the taste more delicious. It's time to start, Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama."

"Fousuke, the food you cook is still so delicious." After tasting a little, Sarutobi's expression became better, and he sincerely praised Fousuke.

"It's quiet enough here, Sarutobi, can you tell me, what happened?" Danzo also recognizes Kosuke. Among the ninjas of the same period, there are a group of very talented people. For him, Danzo doesn't have many people.

A person who has admiration.

"After traveling such a long way, it's better to eat some food first." Sarutobi, who was still eating, interrupted Danzo and signaled to him that food was urgent.

"Before Sarutobi led the Shadow Guards and Anbu to set off, he gave me the task of protecting the village. I'm sorry, I..."

Gu Jie put down the bowl in his hand and blamed himself.

"Let's finish eating first." Danzo interrupted Fousuke this time, "By the way, Fousuke, your food is always delicious."

"Hahahaha," Kosuke laughed, "After all, I'm just a genin, so I'm best at making food."

…

Hokage Rock was built under the supervision of Sarutobi and Danzo. From the bare stone wall, it was later engraved with the stone statue of the first Hokage, and then the second Hokage, who has been fighting for the position of Hokage, but later, the third stone statue

But it looks like Sarutobi.

After drinking the hot soup, they finally dispelled the cold and fatigue. However, Sarutobi and Danzo stood like fools in the cold rain, overlooking the entire Konoha Ninja Village from the top of Hokage Rock.

"From this perspective, the extent of the damage to the village is more serious than I imagined," Danzo looked at Sarutobi sarcastically, "Kage's responsibility is to protect the village."

"You are so bad, Sarutobi." Danzo kept scolding him.

…

"This is..." Danzo was led to the ANBU's underground warehouse by Sarutobi, and after unpacking black bags one after another, they found corpses. Danzo's face was full of confusion.

"Danzo, is there any progress in researching the Senju clan's wood escape ability?"

"There is almost no progress." Without getting an answer to one question, Sarutobi asked another question, instantly interrupting Danzo's train of thought.

"The experimental materials are not enough, far from enough," Danzo shook his head. "Sarutobi, I need more corpses... preferably alive. I also need experimental equipment and researchers."

"As for experimental materials..." Sarutobi approached and opened a bag, "The corpses of the Senju clan are all here, all of them."

Clearly hearing the hidden meaning of Sarutobi's words, Danzo's pupils tightened, "The Senju clan, all...all the clan members?"

Seeing that Danzo understood what he meant, Sarutobi nodded, "I was still on the battlefield at that time, and the ANBU and Shadow Guards were responsible for breaking up the rear. However, the retreating troops were ambushed by the Third Raikage and suffered heavy losses..."

Sarutobi's hands were trembling, "But after we stopped the enemy, the news that came from the village was really ridiculous. Hahahaha, the Senju clan actually rebelled at this time..." Sarutobi couldn't stop laughing more and more, and gradually

I laughed out of tears.

"Why?!" Danzo was puzzled. He looked at Sarutobi and asked, "Senju, why Senju?!"

The Senju clan, who jointly founded the Konoha Ninja Village with the Uchiha clan and opened a new era, are known as the Senju of the Forest. Their status in Konoha is high. The first Hokage is from the Senju clan, and so is the second generation.

, the third generation also has a mentoring relationship with Naruto.

"After the Senju Rebellion, the Uchiha clan's security team suppressed the rebellion. They executed all the Senju clan members without leaving any prisoners." Sarutobi wanted to smoke another pipe of tobacco at this time, but then he realized that,

The pipe has been thrown away.

"The Senju clan is probably aware of the secret human experiments and may have touched their bottom line. Therefore, after I left, they attacked the Shimura clan's camp first, and then the Kage building," Sarutobi said, his eyes almost daring not to dare.

Looking directly at Danzo, he suddenly bent down and bowed, "Duanzo, I'm sorry, I..."

Sarutobi couldn't bend his waist, and his shoulders were lifted hard by a pair of iron-like hands. "Fortunately, I'm so lucky..." Danzo's eyes were blurred for a moment, and he murmured, "Fortunately, I brought you

The best Shimura clan members were gone, and they died in battles with the enemy instead of shameful betrayal... What bastards..."

"I'll probably know something after I return to the village, Sarutobi." Danzo sighed.

"For the reasons you mentioned, are the Senju clan really in turmoil out of revenge?" Danzo said nothing.

"...Maybe there are other reasons, but..."

"But this is the easiest reason for you to accept, isn't it?" Ever since the Second Hokage was killed in battle, and since he took on the role of Hokage as a young man, there may not be anyone in the Konoha Ninja Village who understands Sarutobi better than Danzo.

.

"There are some costs for the Senju Clan's rebellion that they do not have to bear. For example, there are no Senju Clan members on the battlefield." Danzo flicked his cane with both hands, and his tone was cold and calm, "The Senju Clan retreated.

It was your idea, Sarutobi."

Sarutobi's hand trembled involuntarily, "The Senju clan is dwindling. In addition, it is the first generation's wish to stay away from war. The same is true for the second generation Hokage. After the death of the second generation, there are only a few members of the entire Senju clan.

Excellent guy..."

"Ha!" Danzo snorted coldly, "Things are different from what you think. There are always some bastards who have ambitions that do not match their strength. I seem to remember that when you took over as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi, you were criticized by the Senju clan.

Too many obstacles.”

"You ordered the Thousand Hands Clan to retire, huh, to cultivate themselves and stay away from disputes, but some guys will think that you want to marginalize the Thousand Hands Clan."

Danzo could guess it, and Sarutobi could not fail to guess it. His throat trembled a few times, "Duanzo, my Hokage, did he do it..."

"No, it's not a failure at all. Hahahaha," Danzo seemed to have remembered something funny and laughed happily, "It seems like you are always like this, always taking the blame on yourself."

"Senju, forget it if you disappear," Danzo paused with his cane, "It's just a declining family, nothing to lose."

…

The rain kept falling, and after coming out of the basement, two idiots, Sarutobi and Danzo, went up to the Hokage Rock again without an umbrella, so they were just soaked in the rain.

"Danzo, did the roots penetrate into the Senju?" Looking at the Hokage Rock washed away by the rain, Sarutobi asked inexplicably.

"No, not one." Danzo shook his head, "Even the Uchiha have roots, but the Senju don't. Sarutobi, you said that's your bottom line."

There was another long silence.

"The rain is too heavy. If it gets a little heavier, Danzo, do you think the Hokage will be washed away?"

"No, absolutely not."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally nodded solemnly to each other. The Hokage Rock, in their hearts, has more than just symbolic meaning.

After that, the two of them didn't say anything anymore and stood side by side on the Hokage Rock. However, their eyes were looking in different directions.

Sarutobi looked outside the walls of Konoha, seemingly worried about the battlefield, while Danzo looked down at the entire Konoha, frowning.

Kosuke, who was hiding in the dark and on guard, suddenly had a strange idea. These two statue-like figures were a perfect match for Hokage Iwa.

The Shimura clan's residence is now in dilapidated condition. After counting the clan members, only thirty-nine people remain, including children and those who are not engaged in fighting.

The tribesmen were arguing about rebuilding the house, but Danzo did nothing and locked himself in the house.

"There is not a single person left alive. Uchiha's fighting power is really terrifying."

Accompanied by violent panting in the darkness, the anesthetic effect weakened.

What is conveniently placed at hand is the secret agreement between the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, the document that formally established the foundation.
