After so many years, Danzo felt mixed emotions when meeting Teacher Tobirama again, a little nervous, a little happy, and a little excited.
Danzo believed that he had done a good job during the years when his teacher had sacrificed his life, whether it was establishing the root group or training his nephew Kizaru.
"Teacher Tobirama, I, I," Danzo stuttered rarely because he had just scolded Tobirama or because of his inner excitement.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, straightened his back again, and looked at Teacher Tobirama, "Teacher Tobirama, I didn't know it was you just now, I'm so sorry!"
"I'm not angry, you just did the right thing!" Looking at the traces of time left on Danzo's face, Tobirama showed a faint smile, "Thank you for all the hard work for so many years!"
Taking another deep breath, Tobirama's words "Thank you for your hard work" made Danzo want to cry inexplicably.
The teacher has passed away for so many years. He and the Shimura clan are hiding in the darkness of Konoha, doing all kinds of dirty things and making huge sacrifices. He just wants to prove one thing. He, Shimura Danzo, is no better than Sarutobi Hiruzen. Difference!
"Teacher, it's great to have you back." Danzo said sincerely.
"What a touching scene! Uncle, what's the matter with you coming here?" Kizaru, who laughed for a while with Shodai, calmed down his smile slightly and took the initiative to step forward.
Looking at Kizaru, Danzo glared at his deceitful nephew angrily, "I heard from people in the administrative office that you suddenly retrieved a large number of historical documents and wanted to come over and ask what happened?"
"Hoo ho ho! It's nothing serious. It's just that Grandpa Tobirama wants to see your previous political achievements and give you a score." Kizaru reminded his uncle in a joking way.
After understanding the meaning of his nephew's words, Danzo's heart suddenly rose again. He didn't know what kind of evaluation he would get from Teacher Tobirama for his actions over the years.
"Danzo, you came at the right time. I just have some questions that I want to ask you." As he spoke, Tobirama walked to the Hokage's desk and sat half-length on the table.
Putting his outstretched right hand on the pile of documents, Tobirama's expression returned to calmness and even became a little cold.
"Danzo, was it you or Hiruzen who decided on the policy of suppressing Uchiha?"
"This is a decision that the four of us discussed together." After saying that, Danzo hesitated and then added calmly, "However, most of the specific measures were proposed by me, and Hiruzen and the others agreed."
"Ninjas from the Uchiha clan are not allowed to hold any position other than the police force. As the size of the police force increases, the funds for the police force are reduced and ninjas from the Anbu and Roots are allowed to monitor the Uchiha clan 24 hours a day. Case"
As Tobirama explained the specific measures taken by the village's top management to suppress the Uchiha clan, the smile on Hashirama's face slowly disappeared and turned into anger as he watched the show.
"Did you come up with all of this?"
"Yes!" Danzo did not evade responsibility, "These were all proposed by me, and most of the decisions were executed by me."
"Nonsense! Why are you doing this? Uchiha is also a member of the village." Before Tobirama could educate his disciples, Hashirama couldn't help it anymore.
Hashirama's roar made Danzo nervous instinctively, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Brother, calm down!" Tobirama glanced at Hashirama, indicating that he had his own arrangements, and then looked at Danzo again.
"Why do you do this? Tell me what your motive is?" Tobirama asked coldly.
"After you died in the Land of Thunder, we returned to the village with your last words. The ninja clan in the village did not recognize Hiruzen as the successor of Hokage, especially the Uchiha clan. They even planned to snatch the position of Hokage.
If it weren't for Mito-sama's support and Kagami's dissuasion, Hiruzen's rise to power might have gone through a civil strife. "
Nodding, Tobirama expressed his understanding. In his opinion, it was really possible for those madmen in Uchiha to do such a thing.
"So in order to retaliate against the Uchiha clan and for the stability of power, you chose to continue to suppress the Uchiha."
"Yes!" Danzo admitted that Teacher Tobirama's summary was spot on.
"The choice to suppress Uchiha is the right one."
"Tobirama, what are you talking about? If you didn't listen to me, how could Uchiha be so at odds with the village?" Hashirama protested dissatisfied.
"Brother, listen to me!" Tobirama looked at Hashirama again angrily.
Crossing his arms, Hashirama turned his head away, looking like I was angry.
"Oh ho ho! Grandpa Hashirama, don't be impatient. Let Grandpa Tobirama finish his words." Kizaru returned to Hashirama's side and comforted him.
With a slight nod, Hashirama looked at Tobirama and Danzo again. He wanted to see what reason his brother could make.
"You are right to choose to suppress Uchiha. However, it is wrong to suppress only. Things will turn to the extreme. If you oppress too much, you will only push Uchiha into rebellion step by step. In addition to suppressing, you must give Uchiha I hope to give them a chance to show their sincerity and win over Uchiha ninjas who are willing to get closer to the village." Tobirama was not only pointing out the problem, but also taking the opportunity to educate his disciples.
"Kizaru did a good job in this regard. He took the initiative to express goodwill to Uchiha, released the shackles of the village on Uchiha, and allowed Uchiha to get close to the village. He took the initiative to approach him and be used by him. .”
"Kizaru is indeed doing much better than us." Danzo took the opportunity to praise his nephew.
After giving Danzo a meaningful look, Tobirama left the desk and walked to the chair behind the desk to sit down.
Reaching out to pick up a ledger, Tobirama opened it, looked up at Danzo and asked, "Duanzo, have you discovered the corruption problem in the village?"
"Teacher Tobirama, I can assure you that I have never embezzled any funds from the village." Danzo is very confident about this. He is not greedy for money or lustful, and his only hobby is power.
"What I'm asking is, do you know?" Tobirama raised his voice.
Without any hesitation, Danzo chose to sell the team members directly, "Both Hiruzen and I know about Koharu and Yan. I have advised Hiruzen not to indulge them too much. Hiruzen. He is thinking about his old relationship and can't bear it. Come."
Smashing the account book in his hand on the table, Tobirama looked directly at Danzo with a disappointed expression.
"Are you using the interests of the village to protect your feelings? Have you forgotten all my teachings? You just watched Xiaochun and Yan make mistakes? You just watched, the village's hundreds of millions of funds, Embezzled by them?"
His back was covered in cold sweat. When Danzo heard about the funds of several hundred million, his eyes suddenly widened.
How many? Several hundred million? Are they greedy so much?
"What? They embezzled hundreds of millions?" Danzo shouted without any trace of performance.
"Don't you know everything? Are you acting for me now?" Tobirama's tone contained deep anger.
"Teacher Tobirama, I really didn't know they had embezzled so much? I thought they could only embezzle tens of millions of taels at most." Danzo felt aggrieved because of the fall from grace. He really didn't know that those two bastards dared to Embezzling so much money.
"You really don't know?" Tobirama showed the aura of a superior and looked at Danzo carefully.
"After Hiruzen became Hokage, I was appointed as Hokage's assistant. I single-handedly established the root. I was mainly responsible for intelligence work and external espionage." At this moment, Danzo felt so aggrieved, "The administrative and logistical affairs of the village , I have never participated in it.”
"If you weren't involved, how would you know they were embezzling?"
"It was Hiruzen who told me on his own initiative. He asked me what to do with Koharu and Yan?"
"What did you say?"
"I asked Hiruzen to deal with it according to the rules, but he refused." Danzo said half-truthfully.
In front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he indeed said this, but there was another sentence behind it, which was that he recommended the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan who were close to him to replace Koharu and Yan's clansmen to serve in the administrative department and logistics department. person in charge.
"You and Hiruzen."
"We don't have a good relationship!" Danzo said quickly.
"Weren't you very good before?" When Tobirama was still alive, the relationship between Hiruzen and Danzo was that of competing friends, and they had an excellent relationship.
"Hiruzen worries too much about things, likes to pursue balance too much, and his attitude toward the outside world is not tough enough. I don't like it very much." At this point, Danzo paused, gritted his teeth, and said directly, "I think I have become Hokage will do better than him, and I will lead Konoha to conquer all the ninja villages and unify the entire ninja world."
Danzo's confession surprised both Tobirama and Hashirama. Tobirama didn't expect his disciple to have the courage to say something that was not in line with the mainstream of the village in front of himself and his elder brother.
Hashirama didn't expect that this little guy Danzo would have such great ambitions?
Thinking of Kizaru's ambition to subvert and change the entire world, Hashirama couldn't help but feel that these two people were indeed blood relatives.
After Danzo finished speaking, he looked at Teacher Tobirama a little nervously. He didn't know how the teacher would react to his bold behavior.
You should scold yourself! After all, his extreme thoughts are not in line with the expectations of the peace-loving teacher Tobirama and Hashirama-sama.
After a brief silence, Tobirama looked directly at Danzo, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with emotion: "Maybe I was really wrong back then. You may be more suitable to become Hokage than Hiruzen."
His body trembled, and Danzo's eyes turned red. He had worked hard for so many years, didn't he just want to prove that he was more suitable to become Hokage than Sarutobi Hiruzen! Tobirama's words are an affirmation of his life.
"Teacher Tobirama! I, I." Danzo took a deep breath and tried not to let tears flow out, "Thank you for your affirmation!"
"I read the village's past documents, and you did a great job! Although your thoughts are a bit extreme and some of your actions are too radical, you have indeed made a great contribution to the village!" Tobirama said with praise.
"This is what I should do!" Danzo said excitedly.
"There is no need to be modest. I see all your achievements. The roots you have are a sharp weapon for the village. The Kizaru you trained is the best heir in the village!"
After saying that, Tobirama left his position and stood up, walked to Danzo, raised his hand and put it on the disciple's shoulder, patting him gently.
"I am so proud to have you as my disciple!"
Tobirama's words directly penetrated Danzo's inner defense. He could no longer control his emotions and tears fell from his eyes.
After so many years, what he longed for was to prove to his teacher that he was a more suitable candidate for Hokage, and that he was better than Hiruzen Sarutobi, for the sake of the village.
"Teacher Tobirama, being able to become your disciple is the most proud thing in my life."
Smiling happily, Tobirama patted Danzo again, then turned and walked towards the desk.
"Danzo, I have a mission for you."
After wiping away the tears, Danzo looked at Teacher Tobirama again, waiting for the content of the mission.
"Help me investigate Xiaochun and Yan's assets and see where they used the embezzled funds."
"Yes." Danzo responded energetically, as if he had returned to his youth.
"I will recover every penny they embezzled for the village. Hiruzen will not handle this matter because of his old feelings. As a junior, Kizaru cannot handle it, so I, the teacher, will handle it. I want you to help me. ,Do you want to?"
I understand what Mr. Tobirama means, he wants me to appear with him and be this evil person.
"I do." Danzo, who had long been accustomed to being a villain, replied without any hesitation.
For the sake of his nephew Kizaru, and for the teacher Tobirama, let alone recovering the stolen money embezzled by Koharu and En, Danzo would not be lenient even if he tried to kill them.
"Kizaru told my eldest brother and me about his ideas about reform and unification. We appreciate and support him very much! I will deal with the obstacles within the village for him before I leave. All the bad reputation will be taken care of by me. Come and carry it.”
"Teacher Tobirama, I am willing to carry it with you." What Tobirama wants to do is what Danzo is willing to do for Kizaru.
"You don't have to. Your mission is to assist Kizaru in the future, implement his plan step by step, and establish an unprecedented new era, a unified, peaceful and unified country without war." Tobirama warned in a solemn tone. road.
"I will do it, Tobirama-sensei! I will try my best to do it, even if it means sacrificing my life." Danzo promised extremely seriously.
"Save your life, uncle. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't take a good look at the new era I created?" Kizaru took the initiative and said, his plan does not need to sacrifice the people around him, he is confident to lead it The people around us are entering a new era together.
"Okay, I'll take a good look at it!" Danzo laughed, very happily.
Today is the happiest day in his life. The only one that can be tied is the day when Kizaru became Hokage.
"How long until Koharu and Yan come back? Do you know? Danzo." Today's review made Tobirama want to see his disciples as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to teach those two bastards a lesson.
"There is no information coming from the front line yet." Danzo replied truthfully.
"It should only be a matter of two or three days." Kizaru estimated.
Just when everyone was looking forward to the news that the two consultants had returned to the village, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Hokage's office. With Kizaru's permission, the door was opened, and Tannin who was guarding the door walked in.
"Hokage-sama, there is information coming from the front line." As he spoke, Tan Ninja handed the information in his hand to Kizaru.
"I understand, go down!"
"yes!"
Opening the information scroll and looking at the contents on the scroll, Kizaru showed a strange smile.
"Kumogakure and Iwagakure agreed to hold a Five Kage Conference in Konoha. They will go to the village with teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi in three days. Advisor Koharu and Elder Yan have already led the logistics and medical departments back to the village and are expected to arrive at noon tomorrow. "
After saying that, Kizaru handed the scroll in his hand to Hashirama, who was looking curiously at his side.
"Duanzo, hurry up. Before noon tomorrow, I want to know all the assets of Koharu and En." Tobirama said seriously.
"Yes!" Danzo replied.
Danzo was full of expectations when he thought that Koharu and Yan would be taught a lesson by Mr. Tobirama at noon tomorrow. He was extremely disgusted with these two teammates who almost cheated him!
I will post a recommendation tomorrow and will resume more updates. Tomorrow there will be two chapters of 8,000 to 10,000 words.
