Everything has been explained clearly, and the relevant exchange of interests has been distributed. Due to the previous series of good cooperation, especially the death of Mizukage, this most important bargaining chip was placed in front of Danzo by Lei Luo as promised.
Lei Luo's position was finally determined, which was like a sea-fixing needle, completely giving Danzo the confidence.
Then, after several months of thinking, especially after Sarutobi Hiruzen showed his intention to disband the roots when they last met...
Danzo finally made up his mind: to join forces with Lei Luo to fight and defeat all members of the Konoha Dove Faction and the Hokage System, including Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This is not only a fierce resistance after being suppressed for many years, but also maybe it is a desperate fight after realizing that the opportunity has arrived?
With Lei Luo, a super master who could defeat the Raikage and kill the Mizukage in a duel, Danzo found for the first time that he no longer seemed to be afraid of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As a result, the cooperation between the two parties has officially entered the next stage.
This time, their goal is no longer to acquire ninjutsu, nor to complete the mission.
But to usurp power, for a higher status, and to realize greater political ambitions.
The probing session was finally over, and now that the topic had been fully discussed, both Lei Luo and Danzo were relieved of many concerns.
"If we want to oust Hiruzen and put the position of Hokage in our hands, in my opinion, this mainly needs to be divided into several steps."
The palm of his hand unconsciously squeezed the crutch, and the other hand pulled the shirt horizontally across his chest. Danzo seemed to feel a little warm.
He didn't know if the restlessness in his heart had actually affected his body.
In short, after pacing silently for two times, Danzo pondered for a while, and then said quickly:
"First of all, my old teammates, Mito Monobu, Kotsubaki and Akimichi Toutou, these three people...either find a way to change their stance, or simply get rid of them."
"Then there are Hatake Sakumo, the Sarutobi clan, and members of the Hokage Shadow Guard. These guys are die-hard loyalists to Hiruzen. There is no possibility of changing their stance. They must die."
"Also, some Anbu members who directly belong to Hiruzen, as well as some Jonin who are loyal to Hokage, these people must also be cleaned up, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Having said this, Danzo paused for a moment. Seeing Lei Luo frowning as if thinking, he couldn't help but consider his words and said slowly:
"Finally, it's Hiruzen..."
"Lei Luo, are you sure you can kill him?"
Hearing this, Lei Luo stretched out his finger expressionlessly and lightly tapped his forehead. He did not look at Danzo, but replied softly:
"It's not difficult for me to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi. The important thing is..."
"There are so many enemies in front of us. To be honest, this really surprises me."
"So, from what you're saying...are you planning to take action in the near future?"
"No, it's not possible now." Danzo shook his head without hesitation and explained: "Today's external situation is too severe. You should know this without me telling you."
"If we start too early, even if we succeed, the damage to the village will be too great."
"The reason why I want to tell you so much is just to give you a clear idea of who our enemy is."
Understanding what Danzo meant, Lei Luo's heart moved and he couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Now that you know who our enemies are, then... who are our friends, can you tell me?"
Faced with this question, Danzo did not think for too long and answered decisively:
"The entire Roots, some members of the Anbu, some members of the ninja clan."
"Including Aburame Shiguro and Hinata Tamaki you met earlier, these two people...if nothing unexpected happens, they should also join us."
When the names of Aburame and Shiguro were mentioned, Danzo hesitated for a rare moment, with a rather uncertain look on his face.
Obviously, even the high-ranking elders of Konoha are not 100% sure of controlling a ninja whose strength has reached the Kage level.
Probably because every Kage-level ninja can be said to stand at the top of the ninja world's pyramid, and they are by no means a little shrimp that can be manipulated by others.
Even though Danzo himself can be considered a Kage level, but now that he has not transplanted Hashirama cells and does not have the Sharingan in that arm, his strength should only be in the lower reaches of the Kage level.
If it really comes to a fight, I'm afraid that just one person from Aburame Shiguro or Hinata Tamaki will be enough to deal with him.
Facing Lei Luo, Danzo has a high probability... of being killed instantly.
This may be...the difference between politicians who have been in high positions all year round and real strong men who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Because of his own lack of strength, he showed a lack of confidence at this moment.
Lei Luo understood this very clearly, but he was too lazy to talk about the relationship between Aburame Shiguro and himself, and just continued to advance the topic:
"Our own forces know about it, so... when do you plan to take action?"
"Also, about me, about the civilian ninja forces, the ninja forces... don't tell me that you haven't made arrangements in these aspects."
The pace of the conversation seemed to have sped up a lot, and Danzo didn't think much about it, and directly stated his original plan:
"In the next few days, I will make arrangements for you to take charge of a ninja army to fight other villages."
"Remember, in this process, you must show your style and momentum."
"It would be best... to kill the enemy leader, or some important figures in the enemy army, to increase your own reputation. I believe this is not difficult for you."
"With your status, as long as you have a good reputation and operate well, you will naturally gain the support of civilian ninjas."
"As for the ninja clan..."
As he spoke, a sneer appeared at the corner of Danzo's mouth, with a hint of disdain in his expression, "They are just a bunch of losers. You don't need to pay attention to their attitude."
Hearing this, although Lei Luo didn't change much on the surface and still maintained a calm expression, in his heart, he actually started to frown.
There is no other reason, it is just because there is a serious contradiction between the statement given by Uzumaki Makoto about the Ninja clan and the statement given by Danzo at this time.
In Uzumaki Makoto's eyes, the ninja clan undoubtedly occupies a pivotal position in the ninja village system, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the ones who can influence the Kage.
but……
Judging from the disdainful expression Danzo showed towards the ninja clan unintentionally, it seemed that... that was not the case.
Moreover, compared to Uzumaki Makoto's extremely sophisticated and detailed plan, Danzo's plan seemed much simpler and cruder.
Lei Luo didn't know whether Uzumaki Makoto's plan or Danzo's plan was good or bad, nor did he know what the political environment in Konoha was like.
Therefore, he fell into hesitation for a while, not knowing who he should listen to.
