After hearing how severely Sarutobi punished him.
Danzo's face almost turned green with anger.
He has always been ambitious and longed to ascend to the position of Hokage.
The most unacceptable thing is the loss of power in your hands!
That is his lifeblood!
But, still the same sentence.
When Sarutobi was around, he could only passively accept it.
It would be impossible to push Sarutobi down and sit on him.
To attack is to attack, and to receive is to receive.
It can't be changed!
But it is even more impossible for him to accept punishment and voluntarily give up all his power!
I haven't become Hokage yet, and I haven't even killed that brat Natsume to take revenge!
How could he let go?
However, looking at the situation today, Hiruzen seems to be determined to mess with him.
I'm afraid it won't work if I just rely on my mouth.
We need to take some practical action!
Afterwards, Danzo gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I know who the enemy was who attacked the village last night!"
As soon as Danzo spoke, he immediately attracted Sarutobi's attention.
From the perspective of the entire village, it is indeed important to calm the anger of the protesting villagers;
It is more important to find out the identity of last night's attacker and prevent the village from being attacked again!
after all.
The former is likely to cause chaos in the village.
But the latter may overthrow the entire village!
Which one is more important is self-evident.
Therefore, as the Hokage, Sarutobi wanted to know the true identity of the attacker more urgently than anyone else.
"It's [Iwagakure Village]!"
"[Iwagakure Village]? Is there any evidence?"
Sarutobi exclaimed, frowning in confusion.
Without evidence, he would not believe it rashly.
Danzo moved his butt in the wheelchair, pulled out a scroll from under him, and handed it to Sarutobi.
Sarutobi recognized it immediately.
Such a small encrypted scroll must have been used to convey top-secret information.
There are complex ninjutsu restrictions on it, and only those who know the decryption techniques can safely decipher it.
If it is dismantled by force, it will only be damaged along with the top secret information inside.
It is one of the most effective and reliable ways to convey confidential information in the ninja world.
The secret axis has already been opened once and there is no need to solve it again.
Sarutobi directly opened the secret axis and read.
Soon, when he saw the message clearly, his expression changed and he was suddenly shocked.
"This is?……"
"This is the news that a spy I planted in [Iwagakure] risked his life to send it back."
"What is recorded above is the information that [Iwagakure Village] is preparing to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on our village."
"The secret axis just arrived in my hands early this morning. It is intact. No one knows the decryption method except me. This basically eliminates the possibility of false news."
Danzo explained calmly.
In fact, this secret shaft was prepared by Kabuto.
At the beginning, after learning about the conspiracy of [Iwagakure Village], he immediately sealed the secret scroll and prepared to send it to Konoha.
In the end, he was saved by Natsume.
And this unopened secret scroll naturally fell into Natsume's hands.
It was not until the day before yesterday that Natsume secretly returned the secret scroll to Danzo under the guise of Orochimaru.
Therefore, in Danzo's opinion.
This was obviously Orochimaru who had completed his cooperation with him, got rid of Kabuto and Nonou for him, and brought back this secret scroll.
Therefore, after seeing this information.
Danzo was almost mad to death.
Because, in his eyes.
It's these stupid Iwa ninjas who ruined my good deeds!
Otherwise, I would have ambushed those Uchiha traitorous ninjas last night and killed them all!
But now, not only have I not reaped the benefits, but I have licked a mouthful of shit.
He lost more than half of his roots!
How could he not be angry?
…
After receiving the explanation, Sarutobi fell silent.
He looked at Danzo with a serious expression and stared at him.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze.
He admitted that Danzo did have many minor problems...
However, he has never deceived himself when it comes to the safety of the village.
Like himself, he loves the village.
Otherwise, after so many years.
It was impossible for Sarutobi to let Danzo serve as the 'Hokage Assistant' and give him such great power just because of the identity of an old acquaintance.
What's more, unless Danzo's brain is caught in the door.
Only then would he risk the lives of more than fifty elites to forge such false news.
That's not worth it!
Even less cost-effective!
Therefore, this news should be true.
The information on this secret scroll is coupled with the attack that occurred last night.
From this point of view, there is almost a 98% chance that [Iwagakure Village] is the real culprit!
In addition, according to rumors, [Iwagakure Village] and the [Akatsuki] organization also seem to have a relationship of mutual use.
Although it cannot be confirmed yet.
But look at the many details.
It is indeed certain who the real culprit is.
Read this.
Sarutobi frowned even more, feeling angry in his heart.
Eight years ago, the Third Ninja War took place, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
Konoha had already formed a deadly feud with Iwagakure, and his outstanding disciple and great-grandson Obito also died in that battle.
Unexpectedly, so many years have passed.
I didn't bother Iwagakure, but they took action against Konoha regardless of life or death!
It's really hateful!
Sarutobi really wanted to gather his troops immediately and attack Iwagakure to avenge his past!
However, it was not easy to have peace for so long.
He really didn't want to drag the village into the quagmire of war again!
No one understands the cruelty and bloodshed of war better than him.
However, just when Sarutobi hesitated.
Danzo suddenly shouted loudly:
"Hiruzhan, are you going to endure it this time? Are you still going to be a coward?"
"They have reached the village gate."
"Next time, maybe that [Tailed Beast Jade] should explode in the village!"
"What on earth are you still hesitating about?!!"
"Are you going to watch Konoha fall?!!"
Obviously, Danzo was encouraging and motivating Sarutobi.
It's for the village and for his power.
After all, we fight together.
Your roots will inevitably be useful, and you will not lose power.
Even, it is not impossible to ascend to the position of Hokage through a big battle!
…
Danzo's scolding really gave Sarutobi a push.
He made a cruel decision.
This is also the first time in his life that he has made a crazy decision to take the initiative!
Of course, the main reason is because Iwagakure went too far.
They all brought their tailed beasts to their doorsteps.
If he endures it any longer, Konoha may be gone.
No matter how good-tempered a person is, he can't bear to be pooped and peed on his head!
In order to fight for a breath, to ensure the prestige of the village, and for the sake of future peace.
We must take the initiative and give him a hard blow!
Otherwise, even the fierce anger of the villagers at this moment cannot be diverted!
…
"Send out people, spread the news, and ask that Jiraiya guy to come back quickly!"
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to [Sha Hidden Village] to discuss the alliance."
"When I come back, send troops to [Iwagakure Village] immediately!"
"Since they want to fight!"
"Then let's have another ninja war!"
Sarutobi gritted his teeth and said firmly.
…
