"Almost all of my Shadow Guards were killed on the battlefield." Sarutobi had been busy for several days, and it was already long past noon. He then started to eat his long late lunch. "The war in the Earth Kingdom must end. It doesn't work.

What method."

"It can be over," Danzo stuffed three rice balls into his mouth and swallowed it without tasting it for a few times, looking a bit hungry, "but it can't be done in a failed way. Also, before going to the battlefield, Sarutobi, you need

Form a new Shadow Guard."

"The Uchiha tribe and I fought back the Third Raikage," Sarutobi paused, "but their tribe suffered too many casualties, so..."

The Third Raikage has extreme speed. After the retreating troops were attacked, only hundreds of ninjas from the Uchiha clan could barely catch his movements. Facing the Third Raikage, who was more terrifying than the tailed beasts, they barely had the strength to fight, but they could wait for the monkeys.

When Fei arrived, there were not many of the hundreds of Uchiha clan members left.

"No!" Danzo almost threw a bowl over Sarutobi's head. He looked at Sarutobi like he was a fool, "Don't forget how the Senju were destroyed. Since you are a ninja, death is inevitable.

What we are facing." After swallowing the last rice ball, Danzo picked up the water glass Sarutobi put on the table and drank it without any scruples.

"As Hokage, Sarutobi, you don't owe any family anything, you bastard, I've told you before, don't feel guilty and always take things upon yourself." Danzo shook his head and stared at the cup.

Tea Leaf, who was still floating, was lost in thought, "Moreover, 80% of the Uchiha Guards went to the battlefield, but only 20% of the clansmen, they can still easily destroy the Senju Clan, Sarutobi, the Uchiha are too dangerous."

After saying this, Sarutobi made no move, and Danzo was unwilling to give in. "The timing of their attack was very clever. It happened to be that the Senju clan destroyed the Shimura clan, and then attacked the Kage Building. After all the clans were affected, this

When Uchiha appears again, he will gain the friendship of all families..."

"Danzo," Sarutobi's tone became a little more serious, "The tragedy of the Senju and the Shimura clan has already happened. The village cannot bear any more turmoil. Unfounded speculations are enough."

I wasn't in the mood to argue with Sarutobi. There was one desk for each person, and there were only two people working in the studio, Danzo and Sarutobi. It was as if they were competing. The two people flipped through the information louder than the other, and one person often finished reading the whole thing.

After reading the document, he slapped it on the table with a snap, which seemed to say, Hey, I can read a little faster than you, Sarutobi (Danzo). Immediately after, another guy slapped it shortly after.

Throwing down another piece of information.

I don't know how long it took, but Danzo finished processing the documents he had to deal with, and there was a thick pile. Most of them were applications from various families to rebuild their settlements, which was Danzo's share of helping Sarutobi.

He was busy until the evening, and the anesthetic had to be changed again. Half of his body was almost shattered in the battle with the empty ninja. Although the medical ninja said it politely, Danzo probably understood that with his physical condition, he probably couldn't

Keep fighting.

"Sarutobi, if there's nothing else, I have to..."

After Danzo greeted Sarutobi, he was about to leave on crutches.

"Danzo, you can wait a moment." Sarutobi turned the map with numerous markings 180 degrees with one hand and turned it to Danzo.

"The Kingdom of Thunder requests that the Akaigawa generation be transferred to the Kingdom of Thunder."

The major countries have no borders with each other. The isolation zones between them are countless small countries, similar to the Country of Grass and the Country of Iron.

"You want us to cede territory," Danzo stared at the map for a long time. He really couldn't bear the thought of the Land of Thunder or the Cloud Ninjas, such an enclave...

"This kind of suggestion is very insincere." Danzo shook his head, even a child could see this.

"Too few, the conditions proposed by the enemy are too few," Sarutobi chuckled, "The Akai River generation is very desolate and does not have much output. If peace can be reached, the price will be too small."

"What...what do you mean?" All the great ninja wars have never happened in the Land of Fire, but Sarutobi couldn't even hold the border, and Danzo was already extremely dissatisfied. If he really ceded the Land of Fire for the sake of peace,

The territory of the country, thinking of this, Danzo's eyes turned cold.

"Don't tell me, this is your way to deal with Kumo-nin, Sarutobi." His fingers were so strong that he almost broke the stick. Danzo stared at Sarutobi, asking him to give him a sufficient explanation.

"One Akai River is too small, so," with a squeak, Sarutobi picked up the drawing pen and drew a thick horizontal line on the map, "I am going to hand over half of the Fire Country to the Kumo ninja."

When Sarutobi said this, it didn't look like he was doing something humiliating. Instead, his eyes burst out with a sharp look, "Half of the country is used to delay Kumo Ninja. This kind of decision is very risky. If Kumo Ninja really goes deep into

The Land of Fire..."

Danzo, who was about to hit Sarutobi on the face with his cane, suddenly stopped, "Well, if it were me, I wouldn't make such a decision."

Danzo muttered in frustration and left.

Sarutobi has always been regarded as a rival, and even if the two become heads of their respective families, and even if they later become the most powerful man in Konoha, the relationship will still be the same.

The Third Hokage indeed has profound political wisdom.

No ninja village has enough courage to send all its troops deep into another country. Small groups can because they can withstand losses. Whether it is Kumo ninja or Iwa ninja, there are small groups of elite troops that have reached Konoha ninja village.

precedent.

But a large army of tens of thousands of ninjas is different. It is in an enemy country with an extremely unfamiliar environment. Even if the enemy is at a disadvantage, anything can happen. After ten thousand ninjas are sacrificed, even the five major ninja villages will collapse.

Just like the Konoha Collapse Plan later, Konoha was still at a low point at that time, but the fate of the sand ninja and sound ninja who launched the attack was not so good.

Just like what Sarutobi said, Konoha did not confront the Kumo ninja on the front line, but retreated again, this time retreating far away, fully retreating half of the vast Land of Fire.

When the Konoha ninja were still on the front line, the Kumo ninja pressed forward step by step, but when Konoha retreated regardless, the Kumo ninja hesitated.

Although the information was passed to the Third Raikage time and time again, the Third Raikage was still unable to issue an order to fully enter the Land of Fire.

As soon as a person hesitates, doubts will increase. The Third Raikage thought of many things, such as what to do if the Land of Thunder is attacked by the Mist Ninja, and what to do if the Iwa Ninja cuts off the escape route. The information did not give the Third Raikage any confidence, but made him even more confident.

Be hesitant.

In a battle in the air, the Third Raikage lost, not because of his wisdom, not because of his personal combat power, but because of his courage. In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already preparing supplies and mobilizing troops to go to the Land of Earth to end it quickly

In the war with the Iwa Ninja, he was prepared to ignore the Kumo Ninja entrenched in the Fire Country. As long as the Kumo Ninja sent enough troops at this time, the empty Konoha would probably never exist again.

…

"So, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, the successor of the next generation of Hokage, you choose Tsunade?" Danzo, who is very self-disciplined, never smokes, so he is disgusted with the strong smell of smoke in the Kage Building.

, had to open the window.

"I will tell Tsunade when she comes back." Sarutobi, who was immersed in his work, replied.

It's just that the two people had different understandings. Sarutobi meant to tell Tsunade the truth about the destruction of the Senju clan, while Danzo thought that Sarutobi wanted to tell her the news that Tsunade was the future Hokage.

This is what Danzo doesn't understand. In his opinion, the immature Tsunade is not good enough to serve as Hokage. He even thinks that even the truth about the destruction of the Senju clan should be hidden from Tsunade.

"I heard that the Iwa Ninja already has a fourth generation Kage," Danzo snorted, "We have to prepare too, Sarutobi, if you die on the battlefield..."

"You are the Fourth Kage, Danzo." Sarutobi gave Danzo's answer without stopping for even a moment.

Sarutobi's words made Danzo's mind go blank for a long time.

"Can't..., no way...can't be a family ninja." After waiting for a long time, Danzo kept murmuring as if he was lost in thought. It could be seen from his unconscious shaking hands that he was not at peace in his heart.

Becoming Hokage is Danzo's obsession, but there are always people who want to snatch him away when they are not available. If someone comes to him, he will become panicked.

"What?" Sarutobi didn't hear clearly what Danzo was saying for a moment.

"I mean, the fourth generation Kage can no longer be held by family ninjas." Danzo's eyes recovered and became energetic, "It's time for Sarutobi to learn a lesson about the Senju clan."

This may be the closest Danzo has been to the position of Hokage. He did not obtain the position of Hokage in a hurry through despicable means like he did later. He was also killed by Sasuke during the Five Shadows Conference, and even the statue could not be left on the Hokage Rock. But this

Once, such a good opportunity was rejected by him.

What Sarutobi meant was that a document could be drawn up, and if he sacrificed himself when setting foot on the battlefield, Danzo would succeed the fourth generation. Danzo also understood the meaning of his words, but he refused inexplicably.

"If you are not a family ninja, how can such an outstanding guy have the ability to serve as a shadow?" Sarutobi shook his head, "You understand what I mean, Danzo," Sarutobi turned his head and stared at Danzo intently.

"I am ready to make sacrifices when I step onto the battlefield again. If I..."

"Then we'll wait until you're dead!" Cursing, Danzo burst out of the door. "You bastard Sarutobi, can you stop smoking? There's no room for anyone else in the house."
