Chapter 421 Doorway

Lei Luo was thinking, but Danzo had no intention of stopping the conversation.

After simply concluding that "the Ninja clan is nothing to worry about", Danzo continued confidently:

"As long as we can succeed, as long as you can sit on the fourth generation's seat, then no matter it is Uchiha or Hinata, they can only be honest and obedient."

Looking at Danzo's expression at this time, there was confidence and contempt. Lei Luo didn't know where the other party's judgment came from, so he truthfully stated the doubts in his heart:

"I have heard a saying that Hiruzen Sarutobi is essentially the spokesman for the interests of the Ninja clan. If he is touched, all the Ninja clan will not let it go..."

Before Lei Luo could finish speaking, Danzo interrupted with a wave of his hand, put on a mocking face, and replied directly: "Who did you listen to? Hiruzen is a puppet of the ninja clan? This statement is really interesting.

."

"Anyone who can say such things is either an idiot who doesn't understand the political ecology of Konoha at all, but doesn't know how to pretend to understand."

"Either he is a conspirator with ulterior motives."

After saying something that was unclear whether it was sarcasm or sarcasm, Danzo straightened his face, looked directly at Lei Luo, and continued in a serious tone:

"Lei Luo, I want to tell you something, whether it is my teacher Tobirama-sama, Hiruzen, or you in the future..."

"The Hokage of Konoha will never be threatened by the Ninja clan, and will never act as a spokesperson for the interests of the Ninja clan."

"We can borrow the power of the Ninja clan, but remember not to involve it too deeply, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Noticing that Danzo's face was extremely serious at this moment, and there was a strong fear in his eyes, although Lei Luo still couldn't figure out the reason, he had no choice but to agree first.

"I see."

Seeing that Lei Luo's attitude was extremely correct and did not continue to dwell on topics related to the ninja clan, Danzo quickly ignored it and began to explain the time arrangement:

"The best time to take action will be after this war is over and at least after Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure have signed a peace agreement with us."

"At that time, I believe you should have established a certain prestige in the Ninja Army. If you do it then, if you succeed, you will be able to secure your position as Hokage."

Lei Luo did not ask what would happen if he failed, nor did he ask Danzo when the war was expected to be over. He only asked one sentence, which was the specific details related to the Ninja Army:

"If I take charge of the ninja army and fight against the outer village, so... do you want me to deal with Kirigakure?"

The reason why we ask this question is because Konoha has now opened up two battlefields, namely the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain and the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind.

Although Kirigakure Village has not been attacked yet, it will only take a while, and Lei Luo feels that Konoha will have to open up another Fire Country battlefield.

The two top combat powers of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo are stationed in the battlefield of the Wind and Rain Kingdom. The remaining Fire Kingdom battlefield is probably theirs.

Therefore, Lei Luo wanted to make sure.

Unexpectedly, Danzo smiled slightly and gave an answer that was beyond Lei Luo's expectations: "It's not Kirigakure. What you have to deal with is Sunagakure."

Hearing this, Lei Luo was startled for a moment and subconsciously asked: "Isn't Hatake Sakumo handling Sunagakure's side? What do you mean by pushing me over?"

Noticing the confusion on Lei Luo's face, Danzo replied calmly: "A figure has died in Kirigakure Village, and two Jinchuuriki have died. The combat power has been greatly reduced. At this time, I will send you to deal with them.

It’s somewhat overkill.”

"And Sunagakure's side has sufficient fighting strength, and Hatake Sakumo was beaten and retreated steadily. I believe you can replace that loser and restore the situation, so..."

"I plan to discuss with Hiruzen and replace you on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind to replace Sakumo Hatake, and let that guy lead the troops to fight Kirigakure."

"This..." Considering the difficulty of changing generals on the spot, Lei Luo couldn't help but ask: "Is this possible? Can Sarutobi Hiruzen agree to such a thing?"

Faced with Lei Luo's question, I don't know what Danzo thought of. I saw a trace of sinisterness flashing between his eyebrows, and then he smiled coldly and said:

"Hiruzen will agree because I can give him a bargaining chip that he can't refuse."

"That is, disbanding the roots after the war is over."

Disband the roots after the war?

Lei Luo didn't know what kind of medicine Danzo was selling in the gourd, so he asked:

"What do you mean?"

Realizing that Lei Luo still didn't know about the last meeting between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo thought for a moment, and then said something selectively.

The general summary is: Sarutobi Hiruzen wants Danzo to hand over the power in his hands, live out his days peacefully as an elder with no real power, and stop messing around.

How could Danzo agree to such a thing? So he had a big quarrel with Sarutobi Hiruzen, and all kinds of secret hatred grew in his heart.

In the end, perhaps considering that it was wartime, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not take immediate measures against Danzo, but after warning the latter, he left Konoha and returned to the battlefield of the Land of Rain.

Although this matter seemed to have been suppressed, Danzo knew that his time was running out, so he made a decisive decision and began planning a coup with Lei Luo.

As for what was said before, the promise of Sarutobi Hiruzen's disbandment and so on were just the bait that Danzo prepared to throw to Sarutobi Hiruzen. The purpose was to use this argument to buy Lei Luo time to develop.

To put it simply, if you don't count the content of Danzo's current plan with Lei Luo, on the surface, this is a deal between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

I agree with your request, and you must respect my opinion. That's basically it. It's no different from countless exchanges of interests in the past.

Due to his understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo believed that the former would definitely take the bait in order to maintain stability.

After all, from Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, he can exchange for a period of command of the ninja army to solve the big problem of Danzo. In this transaction, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely make a loss.

Unfortunately, the bait was just bait after all. Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea that Danzo not only had the idea of ​​a coup, but also had murderous intentions towards him.

After explaining the secrets involved, Danzo quickly explained why he had to replace Sakumo Hatake with Lei Luo to fight Sunagakure instead of fighting Kirigakure.

"Part of the reason why I asked you to go to the Kingdom of Wind is indeed for the sake of the overall war situation of the village, but there is another point that is also very important..."

"That is, the village really can't mobilize too many troops now. No matter how hard we try, we can't gather a ninja army of thousands of people."

"Instead of commanding such a small number of people to fight to the death with Kirigakure Village, it is better to accept the five thousand people from the Kingdom of Wind. In this way, your influence will undoubtedly be maximized in the shortest time."
