Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 394 The Source of Disaster
Make peace with Uzumaki Menma?
Want to make Hikari Village an ally like Uzushio Village once was! ?
That is simply a fantasy.

Without saying too much, Danzo felt that the issue of the Nine-Tails alone was completely unnegotiable. How could a dignified overlord of the ninja world not even have a tailed beast?!
This is a great shame.

This is a fact that Danzo absolutely cannot accept.

What Tsunade did was absolutely wrong and the stupidest thing.

"Are you going to hand over the Nine-Tails in our village? You are destroying the balance in the ninja world that the first generation has worked so hard to create. Tsunade, do you want to negotiate peace? Of course you can. Let the Uzumaki Men-Mahjong return the Nine-Tails to our Konoha. That is the basis for all peace talks!"

Danzo said with a sinister look on his face.

Nine-Tailed Fox, this is a hurdle that you absolutely cannot get around.

In principle, Konoha cannot negotiate with any rebel ninja, but under special circumstances, it is possible to relax the policy. However, the only exception is Menma, the son of the Fourth Hokage.

The most crucial point is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

It has been more than sixty years since Konoha obtained the Nine-Tails.

Of course, the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox has never been used.

But the existence of the Nine-Tailed Fox is a real deterrent.

It is enough to prevent other ninja villages from acting rashly.

Danzo was determined to stick to this point and give up the Nine-Tails!? That would be subverting the decision of the first Hokage of their ninja village.

Tsunade's face froze when she heard Danzo's last words. The prestige of the First Hokage in the Hidden Leaf Village was self-evident. No Konoha ninja would say anything that went against the decision of the First Hokage.

Especially Tsunade.

She is also the direct descendant of Hashirama Senju.

The most important factor that allowed her to succeed as the Fifth Hokage, besides her own strength, prestige and qualifications, was her status as the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

Just like the loess in Iwagakure Village.

In the early years, when the Sannin were just coming to prominence, Tsunade was always recognized as the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

The prestige and achievements of Hashirama Senju are truly unmatched.

The distribution policy of the tailed beasts.

It was also decided by the first Hokage.

Now that Danzo has grasped this point, it is indeed difficult for Tsunade to refute anything.

"Yes, Tsunade, Danzo's unauthorized actions were indeed wrong, but what Danzo said also makes sense. The Nine-Tails is the bottom line that Konoha absolutely cannot tolerate. Because of the loss of the Nine-Tails, in the past two years, the covetousness and suspicion of the ninja villages of various countries in the ninja world towards our Konoha has been increasing. This is a major problem that cannot be ignored. Other aspects can be discussed, but the Nine-Tails, Tsunade, you must think twice before acting."

On one side, Mizuto Menen also leaned forward slightly and spoke with a very serious expression.

"Don't I know how important the Nine-Tail is? But the question now is, can we get it back so easily? We have tried hard, but the elders have seen the result. Do we really have to gamble the future of the village and everything in the village to fight for it? Once we fail, who can bear the serious consequences?"

Tsunade replied, taking a deep breath.

"The Hidden Mist Village has already retreated, and the Hidden Sand Village obviously cannot continue to advance. Do I need to tell the elders about the connection between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Light Village? The current situation is very different from before. What we need is..."

"Boom!"

"But we still have the Iwagakure Village, right? As long as we can make good use of the Iwagakure Village, getting the Nine-Tails back will be just around the corner."

Tsunade hadn't quite finished her words yet.

Danzo on the opposite side slammed his crutch hard and spoke in a cold tone.

One who is too confident.

One is too indecisive.

Danzo's self-confidence, or should we say arrogance, has always been a standard feature. His adventurous actions time and time again are the best demonstration of this. It is not known whether he really has enough confidence in the strength of the Hidden Leaf Village, or whether he trusts his own personal strength too much.

Do you really think that his Wood Release and Sharingan can rival those of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?
Tsunade seems to be a strong woman, but her nature is still the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen. Whether it is internally or externally, if Tsunade can really make up her mind, no matter whether things will develop as she wishes, at least she will not fall into such an embarrassing situation.

She didn't even realize it.

How many opportunities have I missed because of my hesitation and repetition?

This time it's just a repeat of the past.

Appropriately giving up the alliance with the Iwagakure Village and turning to reopening the negotiation bridge with Menma cannot be said to be a wrong choice from a general perspective. It can only be said that everyone has their own limitations in looking at problems.

The reason why Konoha has been in an awkward situation for the past thirty or forty years after the death of Senju Tobirama has been that it has been neither up nor down.

It is because there is a group of so-called high-level people who are repeatedly pulling strings.

"Iwagakure? Elder Shimura, it is equally irresponsible to place our hopes on other ninja villages and other people. Are you sure that they are not taking advantage of us? Konoha can no longer afford to take any more risks."

A place of four wars.

Coveted by all countries.

Lacks the power to truly make the final decision.

These are the major problems that Konoha needs to face now.

Human issues are one aspect, and objective factors in reality are another aspect that cannot be ignored.

This is different from Danzo's ultimate confidence in himself and the ninja village.

Tsunade is really worried that her own Konoha will suffer an unacceptable blow. Menma has already become a powerful force. In such a large village like the Hikari Village, there are two Jinchūriki, the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails, who are comparable to the Five Kage, as well as a black monster whose combat power exceeds that of ordinary tailed beasts.

So what if we have the Iwagakure Village as a partner?
Is it possible that Menma Uzumaki is the only traitorous ninja in Konohagakure? Is the Hidden Light Village the only enemy? ?
Can't the tragic experiences in the past serve as a lesson for us? ?

Unless they can quickly defeat the enemy, even if they fall into a stalemate, the risks and pressure that Konoha will face will definitely not be less than that of the Hikari Village.

Even if there is some fear, there will be some holding back.

But the four major ninja villages, even when they joined forces, were unable to defeat the Hikari Village and capture Menma. Now it is time to readjust their strategy.

Tsunade doesn't think that by joining forces with a Hidden Rock Village, they can achieve results far exceeding their previous ones.

"Tsunade, this is a sign of weakness!"

Danzo said with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Starting from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Then there was Minato Namikaze who died in battle later, and now Tsunade.

Danzo had always felt that none of these three were suitable to be Hokage.

If you want to revitalize the Hidden Leaf Village, you must rely on Danzo Shimura, because he is the most suitable person to inherit the will of fire.

"Danzo, your behavior is the most unacceptable!"

Tsunade suddenly stood up, looked at Danzo with a very cold look and said sternly.

"From today on, in the name of the Hokage, I will deprive you of your position as the leader of the Root. You must stay at home and reflect on yourself. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the house. The Root will be temporarily handed over to the elders of the Mito clan."

"You can't do this, Tsunade. My Root was born for Konoha. Only I can understand the true duty and meaning of the Root."

Danzo also stood up in response, and said with an expression that clearly showed extreme opposition.

"Danzo, how dare you! I am the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village!"

Tsunade's beautiful face was now filled with frost, and there was a chilling coldness emanating from her body.

When Danzo heard this familiar words.

His expression couldn't help but change.

The countless anger rising from his chest made Danzo's face look extremely ferocious. Hokage!

Naruto!

Only Naruto!

decades down.

Danzo has been longing for this position for a long time.

Everything he did was to get to this throne.

But all his actions were suppressed again and again by the people sitting in this position. It was like this with Sarutobi Hiruzen before, and it was the same with Tsunade now.

Forget about the former.

After all, he is the successor chosen by his mentor and a person of the same generation as him. Even so, Danzo feels that he is countless times better than Sarutobi Hiruzen. Now Tsunade standing in front of him is still just his junior.

Why are you qualified to give me orders?
Blame yourself! ?

"Tsunade, you..."

Danzo suddenly stood up and was about to say something else.

"Excuting an order!"

Tsunade had a cold look on her face and swung her arm suddenly.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Above the position around Danzo.

Suddenly.

Four Hokage's direct subordinates from the Anbu appeared immediately, and judging from their posture and the strong murderous aura they exuded, it was obvious that they were all the best in the Anbu and were definitely at the level of Jonin.

Completely surrounded Danzo.

"Tsunade, what are you going to do?"

"Tsunade, calm down."

The two elders, Mizuto Menen and Utane Koharu, who were sitting on the side, were also startled and stood up immediately.

In their view.

The argument just now was just a repetition of the past few decades. Anyway, they were used to this scene. After all the quarrels, wouldn’t it all end up back to the way it was?
And it’s all for the benefit of the village.

There is no need to really make a big fuss.

Danzo was temporarily dismissed from his position as the leader of the Root.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had done this before. He didn't disband the Root directly, but handed it over to Mito Kado En to take charge. The two elders thought it was a routine operation.

But Tsunade’s operation is different.

The Anbu appeared.

Obviously, physical control and imprisonment will also be carried out.

The meanings are vastly different.

There couldn't be any blood involved, could there? Danzo was still a high-ranking official in the village, and a direct disciple of the Second Hokage.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu would never allow such a thing to happen.

Danzo's expression also became more terrifying than ever before.

Staring at Tsunade intently.

It seemed as if he was planning to take action here.

"Don't worry, two elders. I won't do something as outrageous as someone else. I just want to calm down Elder Shimura. Now is the time to take drastic measures. You two should take a look."

Tsunade waved her hand, and as she spoke, she also signaled Shizune in the back seat to hand a special scroll to the two advisors.

His own energy was also firmly locked onto Danzo's location.

This old thing!
Even if I haven't fought for a long time.

If we really have to do it.

Tsunade thought to herself that she must give Danzo a good beating.

Kakashi and Shikaku on the opposite side also subconsciously took a defensive stance. Since it was an order from their own Hokage, they had to carry it out without hesitation.

Even Jiraiya seems to be leisurely, but he can take action at any time as long as the situation changes.

The tight defense from all sides made it impossible for Danzo to find any chance to attack unless he revealed his secret right here.

But is that appropriate?!
Danzo gritted his teeth and clenched his hands subconsciously.

"Is everything here true? Tsunade!"

There is not much recorded on the scroll.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu just glanced at it twice and then finished reading it all. Their expressions became very solemn.

"Of course this is all true. Everything was searched out from the base at the root."

Jiraiya on the left also said with a solemn expression.

Originally, when Danzo saw the changes in the expressions of his two close friends of many years, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Now when I hear Jiraiya's words again.

Danzo's expression instantly turned very ugly.

"You actually broke into my base without permission. What are you doing..."

Danzo, who was originally irritated by Tsunade's words "I am the Hokage", seemed to be losing his mind for a moment.

In a rage, the words just came out of his mouth.

"Danzo, you did go too far this time. Just as Tsunade said, calm down for a while."

Mito Menen interrupted Danzo's words somewhat rudely and spoke directly in a harsh voice.

"Yes, Danzo, you should take a rest for a while. You have been working too hard during this period. You must be a little too tired. When you have recovered, I promise that the root will return to your hands."

This was accompanied by the words of agreement from Koharu Utane in the seat next to her.

This immediately stopped Danzo's words.

This seems to be helping Tsunade suppress Danzo's words, but what is the reality?

Everyone present knew the situation well. Tsunade merely frowned, but considering the unstable internal environment of the village, she still suppressed the situation.

As long as Danzo accepts orders obediently.

It is indeed impossible to kill Tsunade completely.
