[Looking quietly. 】
When such words fell upon his ears, they immediately brought back a certain unwilling memory buried deep in Danzo's heart.
That time, faced with an obsession that was easily available, he was the same way. He could only watch his old rival perform and reach his current position.
Now, when it comes to solving the problem of a mere junior, is it necessary to repeat the past?
He was unwilling to give up,
Extremely unwilling!
But after careful consideration, it seems that the only elites it can control are Shanfeng and Aburame Takene. If such a shallow background is overturned again, then I will not be qualified to think about others.
For a moment, an inexplicable sense of sadness suddenly filled Danzo's heart.
He once pulled out the entire root with one hand,
Even most of Hiruzen's ANBU members were trained by the root members, but look at it now, they have become nothing more than three or two kittens.
Is all this just a coincidence, or is it your plan?
Leave Uchiha Sasuke behind to check and balance Ara?
So during the window period when the former has fully grown up, is it possible to fill it with his own background? Can this also reduce one's threats and ambitions?
At this moment, Danzo suddenly understood,
But after all, there is no evidence.
He could only choose to leave silently angrily after taking a thoughtful look at the old guy who had always been sitting in the position of Hokage.
[If you lose your subordinates, you can still recruit them again. 】
[You can continue to rebuild if the roots are gone. 】
[As long as I am still alive, this battle will never end. 】
[Now, it’s just an intermission between the same enemies! 】
"etc."
But just as his palm barely touched the doorknob and he was about to push the door open, the old opponent he had spent his whole life trying to defeat came to stop him.
Hearing this, Shimura Danzo moved for half a beat. He didn't want to pay attention to it. He didn't want to stay and see the other party's 'satisfied' look.
But in the end he stopped as he was told.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who put down his cigarette rod, tapped the flat table and said to nothingness:
"come in."
The words fall,
The seemingly transparent windows were not closed tightly, allowing the evening breeze to slip in, and a different atmosphere suddenly appeared in the house.
In the next second, an ANBU ninja wearing a standard ninja uniform and a white mask appeared in the room.
"Lord Hokage, there is a letter from the fourth generation Kazekage of Sunagakure Village."
While talking, he had already respectfully placed a white letter on the flat desk.
"Lord Luo Sha?"
While he was talking to himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who put down his cigarette, already took the letter handed to the table in his hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, please step back first."
Of course, he also did not forget to give orders to his subordinates who were waiting on the side.
"yes."
After receiving the order, the ANBU members responded and immediately bowed and took a few steps back, then disappeared from the sight of several people.
The windy windows were also closed tightly under the influence of external force at this moment, and the entire space returned to its previous depression and silence.
A few moments,
The letter after reading was placed on the table by the Sandaime Hokage, and the tobacco rod stained with star tobacco was held up again by him. When his eyes were slightly lowered, a mixed white mist was already deeply exhaled by him.
"What's wrong Hiruzen?"
"What does the person from Sunagakure Village want to do when he suddenly wrote to me at this time?"
Seeing his old friend's temporary silence, Xiaochun obviously couldn't hold himself back when he went to bed, so he blurted out a question.
After all, this was a critical period for their plan to eradicate Uchiha Ara. After finally getting Hiruzen to make the decision to personally arrange the action, how could they allow other forces to suddenly intervene and break the established arrangement?
Compared with Koharu's uneasiness when he moved to bed, Mito Kaden and Danzo Shimura were obviously much more calm.
At least judging from the look on Hiruzen's face, it wasn't an urgent matter, otherwise he wouldn't be able to smoke cigarettes comfortably.
The Sandaime Hokage, who couldn't wait to hear the news, did not remain silent. After exhaling smoke again, he suppressed his voice and replied slowly:
"Chunin Joint Examination."
"In order to test the strength of the younger generation, His Excellency the Fourth Kazekage Rasa wants to hold a joint examination with us for promotion to Chunin."
"As for the location of the exam, it can be either Konoha or Sunagakure. It's up to us to decide."
This is a very ordinary interactive letter,
It is also a normal friendship event between allies.
But, it happens to be at this time, at this node.
And in recent years, the only one among the five great ninja villages that can be said to be stable and keep a low profile is probably Sunagakure Village.
After finishing the message, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly narrowed his eyes again and smoked the spicy tobacco vigorously, as if he wanted to use the smell of tobacco to make his brain more relaxed and clear.
To be honest, this was a somewhat ordinary joint incident, but it made him feel a little uneasy.
After all, Rasa, like Ohnoki of Iwagakure, is not a good neighbor without ambitions.
"Refuse, Hiruzen."
"While internal stability has been completely resolved, it is better not to hold such troublesome joint activities."
After understanding the situation, Xiaochun immediately admonished him.
Now she just wants to completely erase Uchiha while he is outside the country.
Otherwise, his heart will not be at ease.
Even as a consultant, she clearly knew what kind of negative publicity and trouble rashly rejecting Sunagakure Village's proposal would bring to Konoha.
But what is more worrying is the pair of evil eyes! !
"Things are not as simple as you think."
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to adopt his old friend's advice, but...
"Your Excellency, the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village, also distributed this letter to other ninja villages, as well as important daimyo and ninja leaders from various countries."
"The time is tentatively scheduled to be three months later."
"It means that even if Konoha is not willing to jointly organize the Chunin Examination with Sunagakure Village, they will carry out it alone according to the established plan."
"Of course, if we want to participate again by then, we will inevitably be reduced from being a joint organizer to supporting past contestants."
"I think you should be more aware of this change in identity and the subsequent attitude of Sunagakure Village."
"After all, we are still allies. When Kirigakure and Konoha went to war three years ago, the other party upheld the treaty between allies and did not increase troops on the western border."
Gu Xun
"We need to continue to maintain this semblance of an alliance."
"As for the consequences of not participating in the Chuunin Exam, it will only make the daimyo and ninja leaders of various countries think that Konoha has declined and are afraid of a one-sided situation in the examination, so they choose to avoid the war."
Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly narrated with a calm expression.
From the overall situation and moral point of view, Konoha can only agree, and it is still agreed to jointly hold the junior high school assessment.
"fear?"
"Haha, haven't those guys heard of the reputation Uchiha Ara has earned over the years?"
"I remember that little guy is only fifteen, right? And since he has never taken the chuunin exam, his ninja level is only a genin."
"Young ninjas of his generation still want to step on him to get the limelight. They are simply bringing humiliation to themselves..."
Xiaochun, who was sitting on the sofa, was talking eloquently, and her words were full of disdain and ridicule. It was only when the words were almost pushed to the end that she felt the strange eyes falling on her.
At this moment, he could realize that the person he relied on and respected so much:
It's Uchiha Ara!
This sudden awakening made him speechless for a moment, and an inexplicable complex emotion spread in his heart.
That guy was the one she tried every possible means to get rid of! !
"I think Sunagakure Village is naturally aware of the conflict between us and the Uchiha clan, so that's why we so calmly proposed the invitation to jointly hold the Chunin Examination."
Noticing that his old friend was in a bad state, Mito Monohan coughed slightly and then changed the subject.
"Moreover, what we really need to consider is why Sunagakure Village suddenly started such a promotion examination at this time."
"Those guys have been keeping a low profile over the years. Even the appearance of the Akatsuki organization showed no concern. What exactly do they want to gain from this initiative?"
After adjusting his glasses slightly, he added in a deep voice again.
Such a question did not create a long period of silence. Danzo Shimura, who was near the door, turned around and said slowly in a suppressed voice:
"There are probably three reasons for this."
Such words immediately attracted the attention of the two advisors. Even the Sandaime Hokage, who was sitting in the chair, picked up the cigarette rod placed aside and started smoking. The meaning was very clear: all ears were listened to.
Upon seeing this, Danzo showed no hesitation and immediately listed:
"The first point is testing."
"Testing the current reserve strength of other forces, including Konoha."
"It's easy to understand. Both Sunagakure and us will make such a temptation after a few years."
"The purpose is to find out and collect the quality of the younger generation in each great ninja village and various forces. If there is a war in the future, we need to pay attention to the people and what ninjutsu we should pay attention to."
"Especially in the current undercurrent environment, except for Sand Hidden Village, the other four forces have reduced their strength to a certain extent in recent years, so it is particularly important to find out the strength of the opponent's juniors."
"And facing such a temptation, unless it is a closed force like the Kingdom of Water or the Kingdom of Rain, all participating parties will use their strongest strength to prepare for the war."
"After all, the presence of many famous names and the arrival of many ninja leaders is an important opportunity for a ninja village to show its strength and win more cooperation possibilities in the future!"
I don’t know if it’s because he is worried about his previous limelight being severely suppressed by his old rival.
When explaining aloud, Shimura Danzo changed his usual solitary demeanor and listed the reasons in extremely detail, and even his words had a calmer attitude.
Without any pause, he continued:
"The second point is also a temptation."
"However, the test is our relationship with Iwagakure Village."
"Recently, your relationship with that old guy Onoki has become a bit close, right?"
"Although it is for the cooperation between the Akatsuki organization, it is enough to make Rasa feel uneasy, so she wants to rely on holding such a joint operation to test whether there is a deeper connection between us and Iwagakure Village. hierarchical relationship."
When he said this, Shimura Danzo paused intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes fell on the white-haired old man who was smoking tobacco, as if he wanted to see something.
But it is a pity that the other party still did not show any unnecessary attitude, and just maintained a quiet and listening state.
This state of affairs somewhat disappointed this careerist.
"What about that last bit?"
At this moment, Xiaochun, who was sleeping, couldn't help but asked.
"the last point?"
"In the end, you need to be more vigilant."
"Although the guy from Sunagakure Village has shown extreme restraint in recent years, that guy has never been one to be content with the status quo."
"The purpose of keeping a low profile is to launch a thundering force in an instant to seek greater interests!"
"For example, the fertile land that Sunagakure Village has always longed for."
At this point, Shimura Danzo's voice suddenly became depressed and gloomy.
"You mean they want to use this Chunin Exam to attack Konoha!"
"Have you collected any information at the root?"
As soon as such a guess came out, Xiaochun's voice suddenly became high-pitched when he went to bed, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat! !
They have never heard this old guy mention such secrets and information!
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking cigarettes leisurely, suddenly stopped in his movements.
However, this brief lag was quickly covered up.
"No, it's just my guess."
To such a high-pitched question, Shimura Danzo gave a very calm response.
"so you?"
Such an answer was too twisty, and it made Xiaochun unable to accept it.
But there is no need for him to continue asking questions,
The old man who started such a shocking topic continued talking to himself:
"What are the prerequisites for starting a war?"
"It's the Daimyo's support."
"The overall environment of Sunagakure Village is very poor now. The expenses allocated by the Daming Palace are declining year by year. In addition, they have unreasonable expenses to resist natural disasters. When there is no external force to borrow, even if they want to start a war, it will be difficult for them to start a war. We need to carefully consider the costs and consequences of doing so.”
"So before that, Sunagakure Village must stop this trend of being ignored year by year. Through the Chunin Examination, the village can regain its strength, regain its attention, and gain the favor of more outside employees. This is what those guys want. Things to do."
"Of course, they are well prepared for this competition."
"You must have heard the term 'Weapons of Sand Hidden Village' in these years, right?"
Mentioning that young junior, everyone who heard it was moved.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is the Hokage, is no exception!
It is said that that guy has completed a B-level mission on his own.
You know, this is a task level assessed by Sunagakure Village, it is not a casual ordinary task, and the most important thing is that his seems to be younger than Uchiha Ara!
He is a young junior who is in the same period as the sixth graders who are about to graduate.
"Yes, that weapon is the youngest descendant of the Yondaime Kazekage."
"Gaara of Sand Falls!"
