The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, has a somewhat indecisive personality.
Even before the battle started, Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly wanted to kill Shimura Danzo like the first Hokage Senju Hashirama killed Uchiha Madara, but at the moment Shimura Danzo formed the seal of reconciliation, his body involuntarily stopped.
Come down.
Seal of Reconciliation.
This mudra also represents the elimination of the fight between them.
"You guy..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, put away the golden cudgel in his hand, and stretched out his arm towards Shimura Danzo, trying to pull Shimura Danzo up from the ground, just like their ninjas many years ago
It's the same at the end of the battle and discussion.
"..."
Shimura Danzo hesitated for a moment and grabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed Danzo's palm with mixed feelings.
After all, the endings between me and the First Hokage Senju Hashirama were different. I did not kill my friends like the First Hokage.
"Be more peaceful from now on."
Sarutobi Hiruzen dragged Shimura Danzo to his feet and scolded in a deep voice: "We are already so old, and you still have to cause so much trouble..."
"snort…"
Danzo Shimura's mouth was still a little unconvinced.
Although Shimura Danzo took the initiative to form the Seal of Reconciliation to Sarutobi Hiruzen, it also meant that he chose to surrender to Sarutobi Hiruzen and admitted that he lost to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
but…
Danzo Shimura knew it very well.
This Seal of Reconciliation is just for temporary survival. It is not the end of his loss to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the beginning of his upcoming victory in this battle.
Ninja…
You should do whatever it takes!
If he wanted to win, he could use his ultimate move to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Danzo Shimura didn't want Akihara Kagura and Orochimaru to enjoy the benefits of dying together with Sarutobi Hiruzen, so why did he die?
Here, can the other two allies benefit?
"This time you will be considered great!"
Shimura Danzo had a plan in his mind and was a little more polite to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Do you still want to have a next time?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded Shimura Danzo again, and continued: "After the Chuunin exam is over, explain everything you have done in the past few years, as well as what Orochimaru did.
Stay in the village and do not go out..."
"snort…"
Shimura Danzo felt a little unconvinced again.
Their battle is over.
The barrier of the Red Sun Formation slowly dissipated.
Akihara Kagura and Hatake Kakashi walked in.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Akihara Kagura, and took the initiative to hand Danzo Shimura over to the care of his former subordinate: "Kagura, take Danzo back and take care of him."
"yes."
Akihara Kagura nodded and agreed.
"..."
Shimura Danzo squinted his eyes and looked at Akihara Kagura.
Everything was going according to their plan. He consumed Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra and was brought back to the root base by Akihara Kagura. The rest was left to Orochimaru to solve.
"Let's go, Danzo-sama."
Akihara Kagura took the initiative to walk in front of Shimura Danzo.
Just at this time, the final Chunin exam battle between Koros and Aburame Shino was about to begin, and Koso chose to admit defeat directly.
Akihara Kagura took back his wooden clone and returned to the root base with Koso and Shimura Danzo because the exam was over.
"Is the third Chuunin Exam also over?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage who was walking towards the high platform, waiting for the Kazekage to come on stage and prepare to deliver the closing speech of this joint examination together.
Although there were some minor snags in this Chuunin Exam caused by Danzo Shimura and the Kirigakure ninjas, it ended perfectly in the end.
Konoha used thunder to resolve the rebellion of Kirigakure ninjas, showing its current strength to all the allies present, and making everyone dare not covet Konoha anymore. In short, this exam also achieved its purpose.
The only imperfection…
It's probably because his image as Hokage has been damaged.
Because many people know a little bit about him and Shimura Danzo, it will inevitably affect his image as the Hokage, but it doesn't matter.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also thought about it and retired again after the Chuunin Examination, letting Jiraiya take the position of Hokage.
Root base.
When Akihara Kagura and Karin came back with Shimura Danzo, both Yamafaze and Aburame Takene greeted them at the entrance of the base, making Shimura Danzo feel a little relaxed.
Obviously.
There should be no problem inside the root base.
"Our mission is over."
Shimura Danzo glanced at Akihara Kagura and continued: "Then we'll just wait for Orochimaru to kill the monkey, and all our plans will be accomplished..."
When Danzo Shimura said this, he remembered what Hiruzen Sarutobi said on the high platform: "However, Monkey mentioned that you are not allowed to succeed the position of Hokage..."
"Don't worry."
Akihara Kagura chuckled lightly and looked back at Danzo Shimura: "After the Third Hokage is killed by Orochimaru, I will avenge the Third Hokage and kill Orochimaru. Then I can naturally succeed him as Hokage.
?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo and continued to deceive Shimura Danzo: "The reason why I changed the order of appearance in the Konoha Collapse Plan is to separate Danzo-sama and Orochimaru. Everyone will think that Orochimaru killed him.
You killed the Third Hokage, Danzo-sama had no idea about it, but I rescued you with good intentions..."
"Betray Orochimaru?"
Shimura Danzo thought for a second and then agreed with Akihara Kagura's statement: "That's okay. After getting rid of the monkey, that guy will be of no use anyway..."
Such a thing as betraying allies...
Shimura Danzo certainly didn't have any psychological pressure.
What's more, after the Chunin Examination, Shimura Danzo believed that he and Akihara Kagura had joined forces to control the power of Konoha, and there was no use in keeping Orochimaru around.
Orochimaru's only use is bioscience and technology.
Even if Danzo Shimura wants to possess the Wood Release and Sharingan, there are qualified experimental subjects in Konoha Village, and perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi has left complete experimental records.
Even though Danzo Shimura had known the result for a long time, he still seemed a little depressed: "I have spent so long, but in the end, you, the brat, will become the Hokage of the village, and I will become the root that protects Konoha in the darkness..."
I have been struggling in Konoha Village for so many years, and I have been struggling to become a rebel ninja for so many years. Looking back, I am still the leader of the root. Instead, this brat wants to become Hokage...
"Isn't this what we agreed on at the beginning?"
Akihara Kagura stretched out her hand to invite Shimura Danzo to walk into the corridor of the base, turned her head and commanded: "Go and call everyone out to welcome Danzo-sama home."
He finally returned to Konoha and regained control of the root power. The only change may be that the Hokage in the village is about to change from Sarutobi Hiruzen to Akihara Kagura.
Shimura Danzo walked towards the depths of the root base and said slowly: "Kagura, the root's development seems not to be very good in recent years. You have been suppressed by monkeys and cannot grasp the power of the root. I have long said
However, don’t make changes to the roots of what I founded…”
"This change is beneficial."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, looked at Shimura Danzo and chuckled: "At least in my hands, the number and strength of the roots are much stronger than before..."
"Are these people reliable?"
Shimura Danzo glanced at Akihara Kagura, and then continued: "It doesn't matter even if the monkey inserts people, the monkey will die today anyway, I will slowly eliminate the people who are not suitable for the root..."
"rest assured."
"After today, everything is reliable."
Akihara Kagura chuckled, spread out his palms and said: "I originally wanted to change the root, but I found that Danzo-sama's method of closing the root's hands was right..."
"Now the roots..."
"They are all a group of homeless people in the ninja world."
When Akihara Kagura said this, she looked at a group of dark people coming out from the depths of the root base. There were men, women, old and young, all wearing masks.
"Are there so many people?"
Shimura Danzo felt that there were too many people in the Roots, and he was a little dissatisfied: "The Roots are ninjas walking in the dark, and we don't need so many useless manpower..."
Especially some people's hair is a little gray.
Even if these people were wearing masks, Danzo Shimura could see how old they were, and snorted coldly: "There is no need for useless waste at the root, and some will be disposed of when they should be disposed of..."
"Sometimes a piece of waste paper also has its uses..."
Akihara Kagura said with a smile and turned to look at everyone present: "Everyone here, let Danzo-sama get to know you. Your names have all appeared on the list on Danzo-sama's desk. It seems that
But we rarely have the chance to meet..."
"Take advantage of this opportunity..."
Akihara Kagura's body slowly retreated to the side, but the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be uncontrollable: "Let's meet Danzo-sama and let's get to know each other!"
"Have I seen their names?"
Danzo Shimura frowned and looked at the group of people with squinted eyes in confusion.
next moment!
A group of scarlet eyes lit up!
"Sharingan..."
Danzo Shimura recognized those eyes immediately!
However, before Danzo Shimura had time to think clearly about the situation, he saw pairs of scarlet eyes appearing in his field of vision!
Among a group of dark people, all of them actually had a pair of scarlet Sharingan. The scarlet eyes were a bit eye-catching in the dark, and looked a bit weird under this dark base, as if these guys in front of them were like a group of people at any time.
A monster that will choose people to eat!
but…
This is not the scariest place!
The most terrifying part is that these people are not transplanted eyes, their eyes have changed from normal eyes to Sharingan, which means that these people in front of them are all Uchiha blood!
these people…
They are all Uchiha clan!
Danzo Shimura's heart trembled!
Is this a joke? Didn't all the Uchiha clan in Konoha be wiped out on the night of the genocide? Why are there so many Uchiha alive!
Why are all these living Uchihas at the root!
Shimura Danzo's heart twitched a little, and he turned his head to look at Akihara Kagura in disbelief, staring at Akihara Kagura's face with a playful smile!
"not happy?"
Akihara Kagura looked at the shock on Shimura Danzo's face with a smile, as if he was asking for credit: "Danzo-sama, don't you like the Uchiha clan's Sharingan very much? That's why I left all your hands at the root.
After being eliminated, all of them were replaced by the Uchiha clan..."
"you!"
Danzo Shimura was so frightened and angry that his pupils suddenly widened. His heart was beating so fast that he felt blood rushing to his brain. His nerves were also abnormally tight, almost making his head explode.
Akihara Kagura stretched out her palm and counted her fingers one by one: "If you count it carefully, all the people cleaning the base are Uchiha..."
"What the hell..."
"what's going on!"
Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth and tried his best not to fall down due to shock. He insisted on asking the truth: "Tell me, what is going on! The Uchiha clan...has been destroyed long ago!"
"The Uchiha clan has perished..."
Akihara Kagura shrugged, and his casual attitude seemed to be saying something indifferent: "These Uchihas who survived the night of genocide are homeless. I can only arrange them at the root of Danzo-sama's creation.
Find them a place to live..."
"..."
Danzo Shimura's heart beat faster.
He has devoted his whole life to how to eliminate the Uchiha that endangers the peace and stability of Konoha. No matter what, he never imagined that the roots of his creation would one day be filled with Uchiha!
"Lord Danzo, calm down."
Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo and continued to add with a smile: "However, I have been worried that Danzo-sama will not be able to accept it mentally for a while..."
"fortunately."
"On the night of the genocide, I guessed that the Third Hokage might deprive Danzo of his power, so I immediately offered to take over the Roots to avoid the fate of the Roots being disbanded, and to leave a home for these surviving Uchihas..."
"In order to make the whole family belong to the Uchiha clan, in order to surprise Danzo-sama, I have to find ways to remove all Danzo-sama's men..."
"but…"
"Danzo-sama will definitely pay attention to the root situation..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo with a very sincere smile: "In order to prevent Danzo-sama from coming to the root frequently and discovering the surprises I have worked so hard to arrange in advance, I can only find a way to let them help, and everyone will work together to bring the group together.
