Arriving at the Hokage's office, the two of them sat down one after another.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to reject the ANBU members lurking around the office, and stared at Danzo: "Can we talk now?"
Danzo hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"This." Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out a letterhead from the table and handed it to Danzo. "The Sunagakure Village asked why we killed their jounin for no reason."
Danzo picked up the letter and read it, then sneered: "The senior management of Sunagakure really likes to confuse right and wrong. They broke their promise at the beginning and wanted to unite with Yugakure to deal with us. Why didn't they mention this?
?”
"Sunagakure is unreasonable, but what you did this time is too radical! Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table, and his suppressed anger immediately poured out. "Do you know what the current situation is like?
How bad is it? Iwagakure and Amegakure haven't been resolved yet, and you still want to provoke Sunagakure? Are you really not afraid of disaster?"
"There were a total of thirty-two elite ninjas of Amegakure Sunagakure, and in the end, only three Sunagakure survived, and none of the Amegakure ninjas were left! Danzo, are you really not afraid of completely angering Hanzo and the Third Kazekage? Aren't you afraid?
Are they joining forces to deal with us?"
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Danzo was also furious. He stood up angrily and shouted: "What are you afraid of?! Our strength in Konoha is enough to clear all obstacles. We are the leader of the five great ninja villages."
!”
"Hanzo the Sanshouyu is just like the dead bones in the grave. As for the sand ninja, if they dare to fight, then fight them!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his temples and said tiredly: "I don't want to argue with you. I just want to know why you are making such a fuss?"
"I remember that my order was just to disrupt the meeting. Who asked you to kill them all? Don't you, Danzo, have any other solutions?"
Danzo took a deep breath and slowly sat back on the sofa, but his tone still contained strong sarcasm: "Hiruzhan, your weak look really makes me sick. Other ways? Can you make those rats have better memories?"
Although Danzo did not expect that Lei Luo would be so strong and his methods would be so radical at the beginning. But it has to be said that Lei Luo's approach was exactly in line with Danzo's wishes, so Danzo did not mind taking the blame for Lei Luo.
Danzo's only regret now is that Lei Luo didn't kill Monzaemon too, which in the end left a handle for Suna Ninja.
"Okay." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, unwilling to dwell on the matter anymore. The matter has come to this, and the only thing that can be done now is to mobilize the troops from the Land of Rain to prevent the Suna Ninja from suddenly declaring war.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Danzo understood these words without having to say them to him, so he decided to move on to the next topic quickly.
"I have another question." Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly calmed down, but his eyes were fixed on Danzo, and the cold light in his eyes could hardly be concealed. "Duanzo, I hope you can be honest.
Tell me..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said word by word: "Jueying, who is it?"
Danzo's expression moved slightly, and he was a little surprised that Sarutobi Hiruzen actually knew the code name Zeekage. But it didn't matter. Since Zeekage had been dispatched, sooner or later the opponent's ability would make him famous.
Danzo analyzed that Hiruzen Sarutobi probably learned about Juekage and the power contained in this code name through Sunagakure's "letter of protest".
Noticing Sarutobi Hiruzen's gloomy expression, Danzo replied calmly: "Zekage is a Konoha ninja I recently discovered. I can guarantee his loyalty."
"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked disbelieving. "Danzo, do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"I know all the information records of Konoha ninjas. I don't know when there was a ninja in the village who could rival Kage."
Danzo was speechless to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words. After all, the Hokage's authority was indeed very great. Almost every disturbance in the village could not be hidden from Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
Unless he is a ninja who has been trained since childhood, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows all the information about Konoha ninja.
Danzo didn't insist on saying that Zeekage had been trained since childhood. After all, they both knew each other very well. If Danzo had already had such strong combat power, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't believe that the other party would tolerate such
Not used for many years.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to deceive Danzo: "The ninja you poached from the ANBU a few days ago is called Namizu Rairo, right? Is that the Zeekage?"
Danzo smiled noncommittally, "Hiruzen, how did you come to this conclusion? Raidashi was just a chuunin a few days ago."
"Rank doesn't mean anything." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly, "What's more, don't you think Boiyu's amnesia is a bit familiar?"
Danzo's heart tightened, knowing that he couldn't hide it, even though he was already yelling at Lei Luo for his unclean hands and feet, not even giving him a chance to wipe his butt.
But Danzo was not going to give in so simply: "What does this mean? Haven't we already ruled out the suspicion of Hiroshi?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed that Danzo's tone was a bit harsh and smiled thoughtfully. After all, he knew Danzo too well, and the answer seemed obvious.
"No, the suspicion of Rairo Natsuzu has not been completely ruled out. In view of the extreme similarity between the two amnesia conditions, I suggest that the person involved, Rairo Natsuzu, be returned to the ANBU and be kept close by for observation." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
In an official tone, he began to ask Danzo for help.
Danzo couldn't hold back his anger. If Sarutobi Hiruzen really used the power of the Hokage to suppress him, he would never be able to get any favors from the elders.
Danzo's expression gradually turned cold, and he said sarcastically: "Lei Luo doesn't trust you, the Hokage, otherwise he wouldn't have joined my roots."
Sarutobi Hiruzen simply lit up his pipe and started smoking, and said quietly: "I probably know what's going on. To put it bluntly, the young man still feels that the benefits I gave him are not enough."
Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered the day Lei Luo applied to join the ANBU. At that time, the other party mentioned ninjutsu learning several times, openly or covertly.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that Lei Luo was not suitable for awarding ninjutsu too frequently, regardless of his merit or qualifications, because this might stimulate the emotions of some old people. Considering the stability of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to suppress it first.
Press Lei Luo.
Unexpectedly, they changed jobs in an instant.
Unlike ordinary ninjas, although Lei Luo is shrouded in many mysteries, he is a real Kage level one master after all, and it is normal to have his own arrogance.
Since you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, can't satisfy my interests, then I will find someone who can satisfy my interests. The reason is that simple.
Ninjas who have reached a certain level of strength will naturally not be completely manipulated by high-level officials. After all, the value is there. As long as there are no obvious misdeeds, no one in power will not welcome the support of the strong.
In fact, both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo should be lucky that Danzo found Lei Luo in time that morning. Otherwise Lei Luo's "hunting" plan might have already begun, and by then, Konoha would probably be in trouble
All will be lost.
After all, Lei Luo is essentially a mercenary. In his previous life, he used money to do things, but in this life, he uses "study materials" to do things.
Money can buy more advanced weapons from the black market, and "learning materials" can allow him to master more powerful ninjutsu. Over and over again for two lifetimes, Lei Luo's pursuit has actually never changed.
Danzo also knew the specific situation that day, and he immediately used this incident to taunt Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You preach the will of fire every day, but when the truly valuable leaves float in front of you, you turn a blind eye."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say that the devil knew Lei Luo's true strength at that time, he was unable to express it, and in the end he just sighed helplessly.
Being repeatedly fooled by Lei Luo's acting skills, coupled with Lei Luo's complete disregard for him as the Hokage, and his attitude of changing jobs whenever he wanted... Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was calm on the surface, he was feeling depressed and depressed inside.
Anger is really not something outsiders can understand.
To be honest, he really wanted to do something to let Lei Luo, a brat who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, taste the power of Naruto.
But it was precisely as Hokage that Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he could not be impulsive.
For reasons of love, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to fall out with Danzo and destroy the "tacit understanding" among the top management; for reasons of reason, he did not want to see a powerful combatant with no obvious bad deeds forced out by him, which would not only be a loss for the entire Konoha
, the three elders including Danzo will definitely take this opportunity to challenge him, and the trouble will definitely be huge.
Even with the power and prestige of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident that he could eventually overcome all opposition.
But...it's not worth it for a little fight of temper.
As long as Lei Luo is still serving Konoha, everything is not completely unacceptable.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Danzo's smug expression and guessed in his heart that the old fellow must have paid a lot of chips in order to win over Lei Luo.
If he thinks about poaching people again, I am afraid that not only Danzo will cause trouble, but even Lei Luo himself may not be willing.
The thing is obvious: Lei Luo probably has a grudge against Hiruzen Sarutobi for a long time. This can be seen from the fact that the other party never shows his true nature when facing him, but why is this happening? Is it possible that his personality charm is not as good as that of a Hokage?
Merely Danzo?
Is this the so-called compatibility issue?
Anyway, since Lei Luo and Danzo get along so well, let's keep him at his roots.
Sarutobi Hiruzen made this decision with a tangled face.
