Danzo sat on the seat where Hiruzen had sat twice not long ago, looking at the group of Hokages directly under the ANBU. Although the ANBU was almost completely wiped out by "Uchiha Tsukuba", the rest were disbanded and incorporated by Hiruzen, but the main ANBU
Because of this, Danzo's takeover became much smoother.
"The secret of ninja is to act behind the scenes and contribute silently in the darkness. But sometimes the people behind the scenes also need to take the stage. Now is the time for me to come forward. I hope that you can be as loyal to the village as you were to the previous generations of Hokages.
Be loyal to me."
"Yes!" x n
"Kakashi, Tenzo, Feng and Toruni stay, the others are dismissed."
"Yes." x n
The others left, leaving only four people.
Danzo first said to Kakashi: "Kakashi, I think that based on your situation, you are no longer suitable to be an ANBU. In the end, the reason why you joined the ANBU in the first place was just that the Fourth Hokage wanted you to try to recover from the loss.
You are freed from the grief of your companions. Kakashi, you are a role model for the village regardless of your family background or personally. From now on, as the leading jounin, you will be responsible for leading and cultivating the new generation of talents in Konoha."
"I understand." Kakashi's face became a little lazy.
Danzo's words seemed to make sense. Kakashi understood from the beginning that as an ANBU he could overcome some personal emotions to complete necessary tasks, but from an ANBU perspective, his mentality was indeed not very good. He had seen enemies in the past.
A situation in which a village ninja "accidentally" beat to death a target that was supposed to be captured alive.
However, in the past, Danzo tried to win over Kakashi, but Kakashi showed by his actions that he was a member of the Hiruzen faction, and his comments as candidates for the new Hokage tended to favor the "Konoha Sannin (excluding Orochimaru)" side. Perhaps this is the reason why Danzo wanted to win over Kakashi.
The reason is that Danzo does not intend to use him by his side.
"But," Kakashi's eyes became alert again and he asked, "Danzo-sama, Nalin's condition..."
"Don't worry," Danzo said, "She is an important Jinchuuriki in the village. Even if it is to increase the village's intimidation, I will give her a chance to see the sun again in the future. You go down and return the equipment to the Anbu."
"understood."
After Kakashi left, Danzo looked at the dead fish-eyed ninja he had "rescued" from the training tank.
"A, now, you call me Tianzang."
"Yes, if possible, I hope Master Danzo can also call me by this name." Tianzang said.
Danzo remembered that when he inspected the wood release transplantation experiment, there was indeed a person named Tenzo in the list of experimental subjects, but it was not the person in front of him, but the failure of the culture tank opposite him. Is it to commemorate or for other reasons? But
As an identification code, it's not that important.
"It doesn't matter. Tenzo, in addition to continuing to practice wood escape and performing regular tasks, I will give you a long-term mission that lasts for several years. You can act accordingly." Danzo gave Tenzo a scroll.
"Yes, let's go down and carry out the mission." Tianzang took the scroll and left.
Danzo said to the last two people: "As my guards from now on, you don't have to wear masks when going on the street."
The two took off their masks.
Feng and Toruni are among the few direct ANBU ninjas who were originally trained by Danzo as "roots". One of them is a ninja from the Yamazaka clan who is good at using the "Heart Turning Technique". The last time he fought with "Uchiha Moon Aoi", he was knocked unconscious due to backlash.
The jutsu was far away and escaped; Toruni is from the Aburame clan, and her ninjutsu is related to tiny "bugs" - bacteria. Although she is a good hand, Danzo, who wants to recycle Uchiha's eye blood material, is worried about being contaminated.
And even though he was allowed to wait at the base, he survived.
"Follow me." Danzo stood up on crutches and walked toward the door.
……………………………………………………
Konoha Village Street——
Danzo walked with two guards on the relatively prosperous commercial street in the village. Danzo rarely went out on the street, and he felt a little emotional that Konoha Village had changed a lot over the years, regardless of the height of the building or the size of the village.
Although the credit does not lie with him, as long as he takes over such a village, Konoha will definitely become stronger, at least that's what he really thinks now.
The reason why Danzo wants to "go shopping" is to "take the opportunity" to visit various family residences and solicit votes. Now he is only the acting Hokage. Whether he can become Hokage still needs to be voted on. Showing his face in front of the people will deepen his impression.
The image of the packaging is also very important. Danzo knows this very well——
For example, the Fourth Hokage has a friendly and handsome image, the Third Hokage has a kind old man image, the Second Hokage looks domineering, and the First Hokage's strength is arrogant but his personality is a bit funny. The contrast adds to his intimacy.
(Senju Hashirama: I’m not! I didn’t! Stop talking nonsense!)
(Senju Tobirama: Actually, my brother is really a bitch.)
Danzo's visit did not go very smoothly. Because Danzo has been operating in the dark, and although he has done a lot of things, few people know about it... Even if he knew about it, he would probably be scorned, and no one would refute it directly.
Danzo basically has a wait-and-see attitude.
I probably think it would be more appropriate for the third generation Hokage disciple Jiraiya or Tsunade to inherit the position of Hokage. Although it seems to be a democratic electoral system, it does not depend on family background and connections? The only one who dominates the world is the first generation Hokage, and the second generation is the younger brother of the first generation.
The third generation is the disciple of the second generation, and the fourth generation is the disciple of the third generation... Although Danzo is also the disciple of the second generation, after being separated by a generation, he is also a stranger to the young people of today.
"Danzo-sama, things are not going very well." Feng said to Danzo on the way.
"After the transition from darkness to light, there are quite a lot of relationships that need to be dealt with." Toruni added.
"The ninja world is proud of being unknown, but only by controlling light and darkness can the village and country be more stable and prosperous. It is natural that there will be some difficulties in this. However, it is not without gains." Danzo said.
It's confirmed that the only ones who can compete are Jiraiya and Tsunade, then it's safe. Those two have their own psychological shadows and will never become Hokage.
"Next, as long as I solve the problem of Sunagakure Village, my reputation will be greatly improved, and my position as Hokage will be secure." He said.
Recently, there are important diplomatic matters being negotiated with Sunagakure Village. Because the Beiruhu incident caused the loss of two villages, this is a major loss to Konoha. However, compared to Konoha, the cradle of genius with rich resources, the harsh environment is only
Sunagakure Village, which can rely on a small number of high-end combat forces, is even more stretched. Under this situation, if Danzo can promote the continued alliance between the two villages and exert pressure to add a series of favorable terms...
Feng: "But, can it really be that simple? After all, even the Sandaime-sama couldn't do it..."
Danzo: "Do you think I am a stubborn militant and radical faction? The pressure that Konoha can exert is not just military."
