"no!"
After hearing what Shimura Danzo said, Sarutobi Hiruzen bluntly rejected the other party's request without even having time to consider it carefully.
Not only was he afraid that Danzo would have a hard time, but he was also afraid that Danzo would become rebellious.
I'm talking about Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As the "wise and powerful" third-generation Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi has governed Konoha Village for decades. How could he not see what a special and strange organization "Root" is?
In the Anbu organization dedicated to Hokage, a separate, so-called "Anbu training institution" has been specially set up to perform dark tasks for Konoha that cannot be seen at all, and has very high self-governance powers.
This is the root.
Sometimes, even the Hokage himself doesn't know the specific activities of the root.
Only Shimura Danzo, the supreme leader of the Roots, is qualified to know all the activities of the Roots.
The root is Shimura Danzo's dark "minions".
If Hiruzen Sarutobi is the "Emperor" of Konoha.
Then Shimura Danzo must be at least "nine thousand years old"!
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen had to leave "the darkness of Konoha" to Shimura Danzo because of his own lack of ability.
However, suppressing the power of the roots and preventing the "roots in the darkness" from affecting "Konoha under the sun" has been Sarutobi Hiruzen's consistent philosophy and policy since he established the roots!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very afraid of the expansion of dark forces at his roots.
Under such circumstances, how could he allow Shimura Danzo to touch an existence like a "tailed beast"? !
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had witnessed the power of the Nine-Tails with his own eyes, knew very well what kind of evil and terrifying dark power the "tailed beast" symbolized.
Once Danzo Shimura and his "root" are given the power of the tailed beast.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't even imagine the terrible consequences that would cause.
The Third Hokage spoke, and the other two elders looked at each other and immediately responded.
Mito Kadoyan said plausibly: "Danzo, the scale of your root power is already large enough, there is no need to add another three-tails."
After returning to bed, Koharu also said: "Instead of coveting the power of the Three-Tails, it is better to focus more on cultivating talents. Isn't the root also an ANBU training institution?"
Both the "roots" and the "elders" are actually "parasites" that live on the fruit of Naruto's power.
The biggest difference between Mito Kaden, Koharu Kadene, and Danzo Shimura is that the latter holds a separate ninja force in his hands, while the former two are just "advisors" with no actual power.
Shimura Danzo, who is in charge of the "roots", can confidently show off his face to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, Mito Kado and Koharu, who has transferred to the dormitory, can only be the "yes men" for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Shimura Danzo seemed not to have expected that he just wanted a three-tailed one, so he encountered joint opposition from the other three old guys in the office.
His original plan was to capture the Three-Tails first and then secretly plot against the Eight-Tails.
But now it seems that, let alone the eight tails, the three tails are a bit hanging!
There was a moment of silence.
Shimura Danzo looked at the other three people coldly with his left eye.
To be precise, he looked at the only one who could make the decision, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hiruzen."
Shimura Danzo stared closely at Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face, raised his sound left hand, and gently pressed it on the hanging right arm.
"As of now, we in Konoha already have four tailed beasts!
“Nine tails, eight tails, five tails, three tails.
"Don't you even deserve to have a tailed beast?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes followed Shimura Danzo's movements and focused on the latter's seemingly powerless right arm, and a trace of unbearability flashed across his eyes.
This extremely subtle emotional change happened to be clearly captured by Shimura Danzo.
'Hiruzen was shaken! '
This thought flashed through Shimura Danzo's mind, and his angry and uneasy mood calmed down with this thought.
As one of the people in Konoha who knows Sarutobi Hiruzen best, Shimura Danzo is very aware of his old friend's weakness - soft heart!
Because of his soft heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unable to bear all the darkness in Konoha.
Because of his soft heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned a blind eye to most of Shimura Danzo's transgressions.
As a ninja, "soft-hearted" can almost be replaced by "weak".
According to Shimura Danzo's observation, Sarutobi Hiruzen's weakness continued to worsen as he grew older.
As long as he cries miserably and shows off his face, Shimura Danzo can always get what he wants from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Just when Danzo Shimura was planning to strike while the iron was hot and completely finalize the ownership of the three tails.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to look away.
Even Danzo Shimura knew about his soft-hearted nature, how could he not know it himself?
The power of the tailed beast is really of great importance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to be fooled by Shimura Danzo, so he handed the three tails into his hands.
"I haven't finished what I just said."
Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the topic and said.
“Although Shikaku reported that Nara Rangui has successfully tamed the three-tailed beast and plans to give the tailed beast to the village.
"But Nara also has conditions for accepting Gui. He hopes that the village can 'buy' the Three-Tails from him, just like Kirigakure bought the Three-Tails from our hands in Konoha."
"Nara Langui actually dares to make a deal with the village?"
Xiaochun was very unhappy when he went to bed and fired a series of questions like a barrage of questions.
"He still has the village in his eyes? Does he still have the Hokage? Is he still a ninja trained by Konoha?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a little surprised.
Looking at his entire career, this was the first time that a Konoha ninja had done business with a village!
Don’t talk about dedication or sacrifice with the village.
But he only talks about business and transactions with the village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi really doubted the purity of Nara Langui's belief in the "Will of Fire"!
"I think the decision made by Nara Langui is in line with the way their family has always lived."
At this time, Mito Kadoyan defended Nara Langui.
"We all know that the Nara clan has never been truly 'one of their own'.
“Previously, Nara captured five tails with Gui, and now it’s three and eight tails.
"The strength of the Nara clan alone cannot afford so many tailed beasts, even if Nara Langui is indeed an unparalleled monster genius.
"In this case, Nara Langui plans to 'sell' the three tails to the village. I think it is a gesture of goodwill.
"The Nara clan does not intend to have too many disputes and conflicts with the village on the issue of tailed beasts. 'Selling' the tailed beasts to the village is both simple and easy, and it also has a clear stance."
The "one's own people" mentioned by Mito Kadoburen are of course referring to the "Hokage family".
The "Hokage series" in each era refers to something different.
But basically they are a community of interests that are closely linked by blood, relationships, etc.
Today's "Hokage clan", the core force is naturally Sarutobi Hiruzen, followed by the Sannin, Namikaze Minato, followed by Shimura Danzo and other three elders, and finally the Sarutobi clan.
As for other ninjas from the ninja clan or ninjas from civilian backgrounds, they can only be regarded as "outsiders".
The Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans have indeed been on good terms with the Sarutobi clan for generations.
But what does this kind of "friendship" mean?
Just like Mito Kadoyan said just now, the Nara clan has never been the true "Hokage clan".
The other three people present felt that there was some truth to Mito Monobu's remarks.
This is the internal situation in Konoha.
The Hokage line, the ninja clan, and the civilian ninjas, these three together constitute the entire power of Konoha Village.
The power of the Hokage series is the strongest, followed by the power of the Ninja clan, and finally the civilian ninjas.
The three forces intersect with each other.
But overall, there are still certain boundaries between the Hokage line and the ninja clan.
When Hashirama Senju joined hands with Madara Uchiha to establish Konoha, he originally wanted to make Konoha a big village to connect various ninja clans to each other and eliminate the barriers and barriers between everyone.
But even now, except for the Senju clan, there are no other cases where the ninja clan has completely integrated with the village.
It is hoped that Nara Langui, a ninja born in the ninja clan, can donate the tailed beast he personally captured to the village for free.
It's better to imagine that the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan can give their Sharingan and Byakugan to the village for research!
After all, compared to the power of wild tailed beasts, the power value of ordinary Byakugan or Sharingan is simply not worth mentioning.
"Forget it, don't worry about Nara's true intention of taking Gui... Without him, we still wouldn't be able to regain the power of the Three-Tails and Eight-Tails."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and skipped the topic of trading.
“Whether it’s three tails or eight tails, there’s no room for error.
"The Eight-Tails is the form of a jinchuriki after all, so you don't need to worry too much about it for the time being.
"But the Three-Tailed... Now that Nara Langui has successfully tamed the opponent, I plan to start the selection plan for the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki on the front line in advance.
"Sealing the three tails as soon as possible can also minimize the risk of the three tails losing control, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares."
It turns out that you have already decided how to deal with the three tails!
A hint of anger flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes, and he quietly grasped the crutch in his hand.
"The selection of jinchuriki is not that simple, Hiruzen!"
Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is the special genius Uzumaki Kushina who was born in the Uzumaki clan.
Kumogakure's predecessor, the Eight-Tailed Jinchūriki Burubi, is the cousin of the Fourth Raikage Ai.
Sunagakure's unborn, new one-tailed jinchūriki is also Rasa's biological heir.
In other words.
Only talented ninjas with excellent bloodlines are qualified to bear the chakra of tailed beasts.
"I'm well aware of that."
Sarutobi Hiruzen responded calmly.
"I just want to try it out in advance. I have already arranged the relevant tasks for Minato and his team."
"Minato Namikaze?"
Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth slightly.
"Are you going to let Yellow Flash become the new Three-Tails Jinchuuriki?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and didn't explain much.
"Wait for news from the front line!"
This is yesterday’s second update.
And then today's update, maybe in the afternoon. (evening?)
All in all, it shouldn't be as late as before.
