Deep inside the Shimura family, there is a secret room, which was Danzo's original "return point".
The secret room is covered with Danzo's Flying Thunder God symbols.
At that time, Danzo said it was more signs, which he perceived as an oversized light bulb, saying it was "convenient for returning to the city" or something like that.
It had been several years, and Danzo could no longer remember exactly what he said, but he only remembered the general meaning.
…
Danzo, who had disappeared for three months, quietly appeared here.
Today Danzo has become a handsome guy.
Danzo, who cherishes his appearance very much, is far more handsome than in the original work.
Nowadays, Danzo has taken off his previous ninja clothes and doesn't even wear a forehead protector.
I also changed into a comfortable home Hanfu, which can also be said to be a kimono.
Danzo appeared quietly, that is, there was no "bang" sound that ninjas like, smoke appeared or disappeared, and there was no sound of high-speed moving wind.
Not only that, Danzo's entire body now has no trace of chakra leaking out.
Unless they are very, very good perceptive ninjas, other ninjas cannot sense the slightest bit of Danzo's chakra even if they are face to face. People who don't know Danzo may even misunderstand that Danzo is just an ordinary person.
"The food stored in the teacher's secret laboratory is almost gone. I haven't been back to the village for a long time, so it seems it's time to show my face."
Danzo walked out of his "return point".
Facing the front, I saw a trainee running nearby.
In an instant, the trainee returned to Danzo.
"Who are you? Why do you appear here?"
Danzo was surprised. This man had already reached the level of a Jonin, but he was still wearing a trainee's clothes, and he didn't recognize him yet. He could only have just joined the Shimura family not long ago.
Before Danzo could answer, another ninja appeared in front of the trainee instantly and blocked the trainee with his hand.
Then, he quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Danzo, you are back."
"Danzo-sama?"
"!!!"
…
The news that Danzo had returned to Konoha quickly spread throughout the village.
Even after disappearing for three months, the people arranged by Danzo are still working hard for him.
With all kinds of publicity every day, Danzo's reputation in Konoha is now at its peak.
If Danzo hadn't suddenly disappeared three months ago, there might have been a "yellow robe added to the body" drama, and he would eventually be promoted to the position of the Third Hokage.
It's just that there are not so many "ifs" in the world.
Not long after Danzo returned to Konoha, he found out that Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Third Hokage. Danzo didn't say anything, but continued to quietly sort out the information that Gen had sent him over the past few months.
Not long after, ANBU came to the door.
An order came from the Hokage, summoning Danzo to quickly go to the Hokage Tower.
After gathering the information, Danzo slowly walked out of Shimura's house, still wearing Hanfu.
Not wearing a ninja uniform or wearing a forehead protector, he was no different from ordinary people walking on the street.
Danzo did not rush to the Hokage Tower quickly, but used ordinary people's movement methods to slowly arrive in front of the commemorative monument.
On the main monument, Danzo easily found Tobirama's name.
Important figures in Konoha will not be buried directly here, but they will have a prominent position on the main monument of the Memorial Monument.
"Teacher, I'm back to Konoha. Next, I will find a way to accumulate strength and avenge you."
Danzo spoke softly to the commemorative monument and spoke the words in his heart.
"What's the point of revenge for the teacher?"
Behind him, a familiar voice sounded.
Danzo turned around and saw Kagami Uchiha, the person Danzo had least wanted to come into contact with before.
Now Danzo is no longer interested in the position of the Third Hokage, and since the Second Hokage is dead, the previous concerns and barriers no longer exist.
"Teacher, the five shadows will not die together."
Uchiha mirror suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the three magatama started to spin.
"Do you have any evidence? Is there any way to prove what you said?"
"No, and I don't need to prove it to you. The day the teacher handed the scroll to me, I was equivalent to accepting the teacher's instructions. I will avenge the teacher... My opponent is an existence that even the teacher can't deal with. I
Need to accumulate strength.”
The Uchiha Mirror's Sharingan began to spin wildly, and then suddenly stopped choosing.
"You...your body is..."
Danzo smiled bitterly: "I have no choice..."
After saying that, Danzo turned around and began to wander towards the Hokage Tower.
Uchiha Mirror kept staring at Danzo from behind until Danzo disappeared from sight.
The Sharingan of the Uchiha Mirror spun crazily, and traces of blood filled the eyeballs.
"It's a shadow clone, it's a shadow clone... Danzo's true body, don't you dare to return to Konoha? Is the opponent really that strong? Was the teacher really killed by someone else?"
There were faint signs of change in the three-magatama Sharingan, and a trace of blood appeared in the corner of the eye.
But something seemed to be wrong and it finally stopped.
…
Hokage Tower.
Danzo walked in and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting on the Hokage's throne, as well as Mito Kadoen and Koharu Kadenei on both sides.
Counting yourself, are you the next three generations of Hokage and the elders to gather together?
…
Danzo slowly lowered his head: "The Third Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to stand up to greet him as a gesture of enthusiasm, but he was stopped when Danzo called out "The Third Hokage-sama".
Danzo used to call him "Hiruzen" or "Monkey", but this was the first time he used this unfamiliar title and also used the suffix "Sir".
On the other hand, it also reminds myself that I am no longer the same person I used to be.
He is already the Third Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of this.
…
"Danzo, I didn't expect that you would do so much for Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was curious as to when Danzo started to change.
He became the Third Hokage and saw information that only the top brass of Konoha could see.
"Thousands of miles away, I can see from the records of the Second Hokage that you are indispensable in this war."
Sarutobi Hiruzen praised Danzo, but Danzo remained calm and did not make any response.
So, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to list each of Danzo's great achievements that had been recorded by Tobirama.
"Use scientific ninjutsu to intimidate the entire ninja world in the Kingdom of Wind."
"Use the Tianmei Store to win over businessmen from various countries, turn them into your allies in the form of profit sharing, and use businessmen to directly influence the famous names of various countries."
"Secretly taking out a large amount of money, investing it in underground money exchanges, hiring wandering ninjas and bounty ninjas from various countries, and hindering the war preparations of the four major ninja villages."
"Because of all your preparations, the Second Hokage speculates that you delayed the war for at least two years."
"The detonating charms from the Tianmei store are sold to Konoha ninjas at super low prices, as well as various new ninja tools, which are constantly supplied to the ninjas who are about to go to the front line."
"Reduce the casualties of our ninjas to countless numbers."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, but...
However, Danzo didn't feel any emotional changes when he heard these "contributions" of his own.
Danzo once did all this just to compete for the position of the Third Hokage, and at the same time he did not want the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama to die in a battle like in the original work.
However, even though Danzo did so much and changed so much, due to the "inertia of history", Hiruzen Sarutobi still became the third Hokage, and Tobirama Senju still died at the end of the First World War.
But now, these achievements are meaningless.
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi had just been calling Tobirama Senju the "Second Hokage" instead of the "teacher" he had before.
