A week later, Danzo returned to Konoha with the large team.
After saying goodbye to Hiruzen at the entrance of the village, Kagami immediately rushed to the Hokage Tower.
Danzo still needs to submit a report on his mission.
He quickly came to the Hokage Tower and saw the Second Hokage waiting for him downstairs.
"Teacher, what are you..."
Tobirama didn't say anything, but looked at Danzo carefully for a while, making Danzo feel a little uncomfortable.
"Scientific ninjutsu? Natural disaster? One on three? And what's going on with the envoys of the Fire Country Daimyo?"
Danzo didn't expect that the second generation would ask this question, but it was reasonable.
After the mission started, no report was made to the village during the process.
After the team set off, Danzo arranged for someone to negotiate with the Fire Nation's daimyo through letters to obtain the name "Emissary Group".
"Teacher, this is what happened..." Danzo quickly explained that after all, whether he can become the third Hokage mainly depends on the second generation's decision.
"Come up and tell me." After saying that, the Second Hokage disappeared with a "boom".
"Shadow clone?" Danzo didn't understand why the second generation waited for him downstairs and then gave him a wave of shadow clones.
When I arrived at the Hokage's office, I saw the second Hokage Senju Tobirama sitting behind the desk.
"Tell us in detail." Tobirama gave the order directly.
Danzo honestly explained the entire process of his mission in detail.
It includes the initial idea of the mission, the long-distance correspondence between the team and the contact with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire after the team set off, the actions to reach the River Country, the communication with the Daimyo of the River Country, the details of stationing at the border and the scientific ninjutsu natural disaster tornado.
One team versus three teams.
It even included the Ibuli clan I met on the way back, as well as everything found in the cave.
It can be said that Danzo was very honest in this mission report. Mainly because the cycle this time was too long and the team's progress was too slow. I am afraid that before Danzo returned to the village, there were n reports piled on the second generation's desk.
Up.
The second generation listened to the report expressionlessly throughout the whole process, which further confirmed Danzo's suspicion.
"Things about the Ibuli clan..."
The second generation paused for a while, seeming to have made a decision.
He took out a scroll he had prepared in advance from the drawer next to him and threw it to Danzo.
"It's up to you to think of a way. The village can't spare any manpower to do good things now."
Danzo took the scroll, which read "Basics of Medical Ninjutsu of the Senju Clan".
After putting away the scroll, Danzo asked in a deep voice: "Teacher, is the village so short of manpower? Did the four great ninja villages do anything special?"
Tobirama stared at Danzo for a while, then spread out the documents in his hand.
"What you are doing at the border of the Kingdom of Wind.
The tornado invaded the Kingdom of Wind, causing the destruction of at least three ordinary villages. In order to deal with the tornado, the second-generation Kazekage showed signs of taking action, but failed. The tornado raged for three days in total.
The Kingdom of Wind relocated people from villages that might be hit by tornadoes, causing huge loss of reputation and economic losses to both the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind and the second-generation Kazekage of Sand Ninja Village.
Your personal combat performance has also been very successful. The border area where military friction was originally fierce has suddenly become much calmer during this period.
However, ANBU intelligence shows that the daimyo of the four major countries seem to be communicating with each other, and there is a possibility that the four major ninja villages will unite."
Danzo was doing so much just to see if he could change the course of history.
But this time it seems that it was not successful.
It is impossible to avoid World War I. Danzo's actions this time may delay the outbreak of World War I, but it also changes the number and intensity of enemies that the Fire Nation may face during World War I.
It did change the course of history, but it did not change the general trend.
Danzo began to wonder, had he not done enough? Was he too timid? This small change was not enough to satisfy him, so Danzo began to wonder what else he could do.
"Danzo, are you interested in joining my ninjutsu research and development department?"
Danzo looked at Tobirama suddenly.
You know, Danzo's original plan was to join Tobirama's ninjutsu research and development department, and then take advantage of his status to learn the high-tech ninjutsu developed by Tobirama.
Unexpectedly, Danzo, who Tobirama originally rejected, received Tobirama's invitation after doing so many things.
This shows what?
This shows that Danzo's status in Tobirama's heart has begun to rise.
This shows that what Danzo has done has begun to change his future. In the original work, Danzo did not join the R&D department.
This shows that Danzo is one step closer to becoming the Third Hokage.
It has always been Danzo's plan and wish to join Tobirama's ninjutsu research and development department, so Danzo immediately gave an answer:
"Don't go!"
Just kidding, my own R&D center has been built, and I am the boss there.
When you join Tobirama's R&D department, you will be a project leader at most, and you will be monitored by Tobirama at all times.
The success of your own R&D center is your own, and you can expand the inventory of the Zangjing Pavilion, and the inventory of the Zangjing Pavilion directly affects the combat effectiveness of your "root".
Tobirama's ninjutsu research and development department, success belongs to Tobirama, Naruto, and Konoha, and can only be learned by Konoha ninjas. Danzo's "root" is a private army, and it does not yet belong to Konoha ninjas.
within the system.
Tobirama was silent for a while and nodded: "That's fine, you are doing research yourself anyway. You completed the task well this time, and this is your reward." With that, Tobirama threw out another scroll, Danzo.
I saw multiple shadow clones of these words on the scroll spinning in the air.
Three days later, Danzo was asked to go to the Hokage Tower for a meeting.
Under normal circumstances, Danzo's turn would not be in the meeting.
The first is that Danzo is still too young. Although he is exercising the rights of the clan leader, he still has not represented the family even once to the outside world.
Secondly, the Shimura family declined, no one in the family held important positions in Konoha, and the family's voice in Konoha gradually disappeared.
Therefore, Danzo has not yet participated in a meeting convened by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Danzo arrived at the meeting place, which was actually the Hokage Tower.
Only this time it's not the Hokage's office, but a large conference room.
Many people have come, and the seats are about two-thirds full.
As soon as Danzo arrived, an ANBU ninja appeared in front of him, and then led Danzo to a seat prepared for him to sit down.
"It's a pity that it's not the welcome lady, but a big man, I'm not happy." Danzo muttered for a while when the ANBU left, which made veins appear on the ANBU's forehead.
The conference room has seats arranged in a ring. To the left of Danzo is the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kokichi. Back then, Uchiha Madara stood on the opposite side of Konoha, and it was this man who led the Uchiha clan to choose Konoha.
Sitting on the right side of Danzo is an old man, Aburame Zaemon, who is wrapped in a dark green coat.
Thinking about the fighting style of the Aburame clan, Danzo wondered if there was a swarm of bugs next to him. Danzo, who had a slight trypophobia, started to get nervous just by imagining it.
Patriarchs from other families came one after another to the ring seats.
Danzo is the youngest among these people.
The predecessor of the Shimura family, Danzo's father, died fighting for Konoha very early in a mission. Danzo even wondered if this was the work of the "Starting Time and Space Administration".
After a while, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama came to seat C of the circular venue and sat down. This also meant that the meeting of Konoha's major families had officially begun.
