Chapter 169 Izanagi! Danzo succeeds in faking his death!
Sarutobi Hiruzen held the last meeting of his career.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En wanted to have a small meeting with Sarutobi Hiruzen before the meeting began.

But without even meeting him, he was rejected by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Are you serious, Hiruzen?

No, they are not old yet, they can still work for another 40 years!
The last bit of hope in Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En's hearts was gone, and they could only wait for the meeting to begin with everyone else with a grim look on their faces.

Hold small meetings for big matters and big meetings for small matters. This has always been the tradition of Konoha F4.

When encountering major issues, they would hold a small meeting first to discuss them and then finalize the matter directly. This has always been the traditional practice of the four of them.

So... Sarutobi Hiruzen directly rejected them, which meant that this matter could no longer be changed.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were already panicking. They had thought that although Sarutobi Hiruzen would retreat behind the scenes, he would still hold power and form a political alliance with them.

However, they did not expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted to retire.

The people around them had lost a lot of their awe of Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En. They clearly felt the loss of power and could only pretend to be calm and act as if nothing had happened.

There were many people attending this meeting, and everyone wanted to know what the Third Hokage wanted to do in this final period of time.

"Thank you all for coming. This should be the last meeting I hold. It will also be the last thing I do as the Third Hokage."

The Third Hokage sighed slightly. Almost all the famous ninjas in Konoha came and showed great respect to him as the Hokage.

"First, a mysterious enemy attacked Konoha. Danzo and I teamed up to resist. Unfortunately, Danzo died in the battle. He is a hero."

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly set the tone for the matter, without a hint of negotiation in his tone.

The ninjas had no objection. Danzo was already dead, and whether or not to give Danzo the title of hero was a trivial matter.

The Uchiha were quite dissatisfied, but they did not show any anger due to the influence of the Third Hokage and the following Fourth Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was relieved to see that he had successfully won the title of hero for Danzo.

Danzo, there's only so much I can do for you.

As for who the enemy was that attacked Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say, and the ninjas did not ask.

All I can say is that those who understand, understand. Those who don’t understand, don’t understand even if I tell them. This matter is very complicated.

If we dig deeper into the matter, it will not be good for anyone. Think about it, if anyone dares to attack Konoha, which is at its peak, wouldn't that be courting death?

And they are not blind, the two damaged giant colony costumes tell it all.

However, since the Third Hokage said there is, then so be it.

"The second thing is that the Root is now leaderless and needs a new leader."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, then looked at a ninja who was wrapped in a cold aura.

"Orochimaru, the Root is now in your hands. I hope you can make greater contributions to Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little melancholy. He could already feel that he and his disciple were drifting further and further apart. This could be considered as his compensation to Orochimaru.

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Orochimaru was a little stunned. He didn't expect that he would choose him.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Namikaze Minato as the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru already had some different ideas.

It’s just that Orochimaru is a little reluctant to give up the resources and information that Konoha can provide now.

"No problem, leave it to me, teacher."

Orochimaru agreed immediately. The Root met Orochimaru's needs very well, so it seemed that he didn't need to leave Konoha.

Now Orochimaru has devoted his energy to the Pure Land and has achieved certain results. Various experiments cannot be separated from the support of Konoha.

In order to explore the secret of eternal life and to peek into the secrets of God, Orochimaru does not mind going against his own will.

As long as he can get the knowledge he wants, Orochimaru is not afraid even if it means falling into purgatory.

"The third thing, and the most important thing, is that the daimyo's envoy will arrive in Konoha tomorrow to witness the Hokage handover ceremony, and Minato will officially become the fourth Hokage. Minato, you must be prepared." The ninjas turned to look at Minato, who was smiling gently. This was the fourth Hokage, and it was a new opportunity.

"I will be ready and will not let you down."

Minato Namikaze had a gentle smile, but his tone was firm, revealing a strong self-confidence.

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window, slightly absent-minded.

No one had any complaints, but waited respectfully for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The current Third Hokage is about to retire, and is waiting for the daimyo's envoy to come and witness it, plus the Third Hokage has a huge reputation.

Therefore, everyone is very tolerant of the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the prosperous Konoha outside the window and slowly closed his sharp eyes.

After he opened his eyes again, his expression was gentle, and his whole temperament had changed drastically. The original murderous aura disappeared.

Without the aura cultivated over many years in a high position, without the complicated thoughts, the turbidity in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he had become an ordinary old man.

As ninjas who had experienced Sarutobi Hiruzen's long rule, they felt deeply saddened when they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's old appearance.

An era has ended.

Even if some people are unwilling, it is of no use. After thirty or forty years of wealth and glory, they have enjoyed enough.

After the meeting, everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a new era tomorrow.

……

Orochimaru arrived at the Root with ease. This would be his territory from now on.

After a deal with Zhiyi, some of the Root ninjas entered the training department.

These were all Danzo's die-hard fans. Now that Danzo is dead, what to do with them has become a difficult problem.

Since Zhiyi wanted it, Orochimaru was happy to do him a favor.

I believe Zhiyi can handle all of this. After all, Zhiyi and Danzo are master and apprentice, and the master-apprentice inheritance is recognized, even by the brainwashed Genzo.

"Danzo, let me see what other secrets you have."

Orochimaru discovered the existence of "Armor" when he was looking through the information of the Root.

"Wood escape..."

"Is this the original experiment? I didn't expect someone would survive."

"Haha, Danzo, you really deserve to die!"

Orochimaru thought that all the sixty experimental subjects had failed.

But unexpectedly, there was still one person who survived, inherited the power of Wood Release, and was hidden by Danzo.

Konoha Anbu morgue.

Danzo's body suddenly disappears and then reappears.

Izanagi activated.

Danzo's body became very strange. It was still the same body, but it was full of death, like a corpse.

Only the scarlet Sharingan on the body was moving vividly.
