The atmosphere in the temporary Hokage's office became weird at this moment.
Even the ANBU elites who were good at dealing with various situations lost their strategy at this moment.
Facing the Daimyo's letter that peeked out of Mito Kaden's arms,
Yes take,
Or is it just ruined?
Tsunade's eyes were lowered, and there was an undercurrent surging in her solemn eyes.
She is also considering and weighing the pros and cons.
Should he directly deny the authenticity of the so-called Daimyo's letter, or should he accept the letter in accordance with the principles and rules, and then fall into the trap carefully set by the other party.
"What are you still hesitating about? Are you ready to ignore the Daimyo's letter?"
When Koharu went to bed, he found an outlet to vent his anger, and immediately yelled at the ANBU elites who imprisoned and escorted him.
But there is no doubt that the real target of this scolding is the current fifth generation Hokage of Konoha, Tsunade! !
However, the ANBU elites still did not make any rash moves;
The name of the daimyo is undoubtedly absolute for the shinobi villages in his country. Even the leader of the village [Kage] needs to respect and even obey the will of those in power in many matters.
But ANBU is special. This is a special force that is only responsible for each village [Shadow], and only [Shadow] can directly issue orders to them.
"Bring the letter here."
After a short moment of stalemate, Tsunade lowered her voice and said.
It is not feasible to deny the authenticity of the letter and choose to bury this episode, or even more radically, directly eliminate the three elders of Konoha in front of them in the name of rebelling or colluding with them.
First of all, if this is really the will of the Daming Palace, then in the future, the situation for it and Konoha will not be good, and it will only deepen the distrust between the Daming Palace and Konoha.
The fight that once took place among the Guardian Shinobi of the Land of Fire is a lesson from the past.
The second and most important point is:
Danzo Shimura.
This old fox who suddenly returned gave her an unfathomable sense of threat.
If you insist on believing that the letter is fake, or if you directly choose to eliminate it on the charge of treason, you will probably lose your voice, and even provide it with a more convenient excuse for rebellion!
"yes."
The ANBU ninja who received the order responded and took the white letterhead out of Mito Kado's arms and handed it into the hands of his own Hokage.
Seeing the 'hot potato' being handed into her hands, Tsunade's fingers used to hold it involuntarily exerted force slightly, as if she was making a final psychological struggle in her heart.
"Tsunade-sama, do you need to ask your subordinates to come and inspect it?"
At this time, Kakashi Hatake, who was standing next to him, asked in a low voice.
Danzo Shimura's character is well known to everyone, and he was the founder of the "dirty" department [Gen] in the past. There is no guarantee that he will not do some tricks on the inside of the letter.
"No problem,"
"Since the traitor who was personally designated as an S-class ninja by the Sandaime dares to come back so openly, we shouldn't be too careful about it."
Tsunade said coldly, with full hostility and sarcasm, her eyes fell on the old man who was keeping his eyes closed.
The latter immediately responded to this "praise", nodding slightly, and a meaningful smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
'Hiss. '
With the crisp sound of the paper being torn, Tsunade finally tore it open along the seal of the letter and took out the letter paper placed inside.
Reading word for word, Tsunade's face became more emotional.
The handwriting is the handwriting of the Daimyo, and the engraving is also the engraving of the Daimyo Palace, but these are not important, because it is too easy for a ninja to forge these things.
The focus is on the content.
The content delivered is mainly divided into three points:
The first point is the Akatsuki attack a few months ago.
Regarding this terrorist attack that almost completely destroyed Konoha Hidden Village, the Daming Mansion, including other local dignitaries, expressed deep concern.
In this regard, the Fifth Generation Eye needs to go to the Daimyo Mansion in person after receiving the letter and state the matter to a group of Daimyos and dignitaries in order to appease their distrust of Konoha's current capabilities and combat power.
The second point is about Shimura Danzo.
In view of the fact that the Uchiha clan caused civil strife during the Chunin Exams and launched a brutal purge offensive against Kumogakure Village, the daimyo of the Fire Country also felt deeply worried about this, and have since understood the former log village group Why would Zang want to strangle this hidden danger to death in his infancy?
It's a pity that no one could understand his painstaking efforts at that time, and instead condemned him as a sinner.
The situation in the Ninja world is now in turmoil. As the only independent neighboring country of Tang Country, the Country of Fire should always be on guard against and prepare for the unruly acts of Yaoyin Village.
Therefore, the Daming Prefecture chose to recall Shimura Danzo, who had endured the humiliation and fled the village, and rehabilitated him, refuting the name of traitor and forbearance.
When deciphering this layer of information, Tsunade's fingers holding the letter inadvertently exerted a little more force.
What kind of conspirator Shimura Danzo is, what kind of persecution the Uchiha clan suffered in the past, who is really behind the Chunin Examination, and what are the causes and consequences of the destruction of Kumogakure Village, these are all things that can be traced!
But those in charge only saw the current strength of Yaoyin Village and completely ignored the reasons that led to all this happening! !
However, after a while, the strength on Tsunade's fingers gradually relaxed.
Because he clearly knows that there is nothing that can be done about it evolving into the current situation.
Those in power must prioritize and care about their own lives, lives, and wealth, and Danzo, the old fox, has precisely grasped the psychology of those powerful people.
Even though she said bluntly, with the temperament of the current Uchiha clan leader, as long as other clans don't invade Yaogakure Village and don't offend his clan members, then everyone will be in peace and it's useless.
After all, the growing power of Tang Country is obvious to all.
If those powerful people really wanted to put their lives, status, and wealth before peace, they probably would not choose to recall this old fox who was the most wanted person in Yaoyin Village.
The existence that the enemy most desperately wants to destroy is the person most likely to check and balance the enemy.
Probably in the past year, Koharu and Mito Mono, who had been hiding in the Daming Mansion, had been whispering in the ears of various powerful people.
What troubled Tsunade the most was the third item on the letter:
When he left Konoha and went to the Daming Palace to report to the dignitaries, Danzo Shimura was appointed as the acting Hokage to exercise all the powers of the Hokage.
When she saw this, she immediately had the urge to punch him into a compressed biscuit on the spot.
There is no doubt that this transfer order from the Daming Mansion of the Country of Fire is entirely the will of this old fox!
The reason why I didn't ask for the position of Hokage directly and openly was because I was afraid that if I didn't accept it, it would cause a huge commotion.
At the same time, he could fully imagine that when he went to Daming Mansion to report to those powerful people, this old man would definitely take advantage of his position as acting Hokage to carry out a series of ambitions.
And it is certainly impossible for him to return easily.
in the end,
What kind of support did this old fox have, and what kind of drug did he give to those selfish people in power, before he agreed to allow such an ambitious man to take the stage in Konoha?
'Click, click. '
The letter was being crushed unconsciously in Tsunade's hands.
This gaffe naturally caused a look of pride to appear on Xiaochun's face.
Moreover, when the corner of her eyes noticed the wakizashi that was almost pressed against her neck, the look in her face suddenly turned cold.
"Hurry up and put your weapons away!"
"Is this how you treat future acting Hokage and Hokage advisors?"
After returning to bed, Koharu scolded, and without giving any face to Tsunade, he went to announce the contents of the letter.
These words and actions immediately made the atmosphere in the temporary Hokage's office become weird. The ANBU ninjas looked at each other, Shizune was stunned on the spot, and even Hatake Kakashi's eyes were filled with strange light.
From an S-class rebellious ninja to acting Hokage, what an earth-shaking identity change! !
Moreover, the agent,
Why an agent?
That must mean that the current Hokage will receive certain sanctions!
Naturally, the ANBU elites did not withdraw their weapons just by listening to Koharu's words.
But their eyes also fell on the Fifth Generation, waiting for answers and orders.
"Let them go."
After a few moments of silence, Tsunade finally spoke.
This glance was undoubtedly a thunderbolt, directly supporting Koharu's theory that Danzo, the old fox, had undergone a huge change in identity.
"I don't know what method you used to convince the daimyo."
"However, I have only one piece of advice for you. Don't think about angering Yaoyin Village, and don't drag Konoha into the abyss of war again!!"
"Shizune, come with me!"
After saying that, Tsunade walked towards the door without stopping for a moment.
It was impossible to allow Danzo Shimura to take power, and it was impossible to act on his own regardless of the opinions of the daimyo.
At this moment, she had no choice but to go to the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire to persuade those idiots to take back their lives while nothing happened.
As for the village, they can only rely on Hatake Kakashi, Nara Shikaku and others to stop Danzo's plot.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Seeing the Godaime rushing out of the door, Shizune responded and hurriedly followed with Dodo in her arms.
As the footsteps outside the house became more and more distant, Danzo Shimura, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes. The frightening purple color in his eyes instantly attracted the attention of Kakashi Hatake.
"Reincarnation Eye!!"
He couldn't help but growl,
And there is a series of speculations taking shape in his mind. The so-called daimyo summons and the so-called acting Hokage are probably a puppet show controlled by the opponent's eyes! !
Without thinking much, he immediately wanted to call the Godaime back while he was not far away.
"As expected of Kakashi Hatake, I recognized those eyes immediately."
"But, I didn't use the power of the Samsara Eye on those guys."
Danzo Shimura saw through Kakashi Hatake's intentions at a glance, and saw his anxious movements without making any move to stop him.
Here, he just said it to himself.
This statement stopped Kakashi Hatake's movements.
Although Danzo is known to everyone as an old fox, there seems to be no reason to deceive himself in this regard.
Seeing that the mainstay of the village stopped moving, he slowly stood up with the crutch in his hand, and slowly moved to sit behind the desk he had dreamed of.
"In the past few days, you have dealt with many famous people and powerful people. You should know what those guys really care about."
"The decline in Konoha's prestige is a great loss to them."
"They need someone to reverse this decline, and I have the power."
Danzo, who was seated, continued, and after clapping his hands, a figure walked in from the door.
He has dark skin and short gray hair, but what really makes people feel frightened and terrifying is his pair of eyes, filled with clear and tangible hatred! !
"Darui!"
Seeing this person, Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but lose his voice again.
As an elite jounin in the village, how could he not recognize the right and left arms of the fourth generation Raikage?
I heard that Yunyin Village was not completely destroyed.
One day before the war, more than half of the Kumogakure elite left the village.
No one knew where they went, and no one saw them again, but they never thought that Shimura Danzo would find this group of Kumogakure ninjas who disappeared on the earth, and even summoned the top officials!
What exactly is this going to do?
There was uncontrollable throbbing in Hatake Kakashi's heart.
"How about comparison?"
Darui stepped into the temporary office and got straight to the point.
He was also surprised to be found in the vast sea, but when he thought that Kirabi was in the hands of these people, everything became explainable.
Because they left traces of contact on the sea, if Lord Raikage could win the final victory in that battle, there would naturally be a way to recall them who had evacuated.
However, several months have passed, and they have been looking forward to it every day, but they have not been able to get the order to recall them.
And just a few days ago, a white humanoid creature finally found them drifting on the sea, and the message it brought really made the remaining Kumogakure ninjas hiss and roar!
Yaoyin Village,
Uchiha clan,
This is their sworn enemy! !
"Don't worry, I'm looking for more than just you."
In this regard, Shimura Danzo slowly tapped the table and said, his whole body also returned to the state of closing his eyes in the presence of the old god.
"you!"
Such an attitude immediately aroused serious dissatisfaction in Darui, and black thunder wrapped around his clenched fists.
But being in the enemy camp and being begging for help made him have to choose to restrain himself.
Finally, he loosened his clenched fist and walked to the window in the room.
Time passed in this bulging and strange atmosphere, and during this period, some people came and came, including senior officials of Konoha and ninjas from other ninja villages.
Until all the ninjas with forehead protection from the five major ninja villages gathered in this narrow room, Danzo Shimura had no intention of opening his eyes.
"How long do you want us to wait, Mr. Danzo?"
The person who spoke out was the jounin of Sand Hidden Village, Maki.
According to his own wishes, he did not want to come, but the will of Daming Mansion made him unable to comply.
Since the fourth generation Kazekage passed away and the first jinchūriki changed hands, the voice of Sunagakure Village has fallen again and again.
"There's another guy, no, a frog."
"Hey, here it comes."
When Danzo opened his eyes, he saw the Lord of Ghost Lantern City walking in with a green-skinned frog in his hand. There were bright red energy chains engraved on the frog's body.
