Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 32: Danzo gets what he wants, Sarutobi loses White Fang

Danzo Shimura was very satisfied with this disciple. He was very powerful, could help him conduct human experiments, and could also give him advice.

This disciple was the right one!
"You are right. Hatake Sakumo is indeed not suitable to appear in public. I will make arrangements."

Danzo Shimura thought that he had snatched Hatake Sakumo away from Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Hiruzen had no way to do anything but watch it all in tears.

As he thought about it, Shimura Danzo's face flushed.

Danzo Shimura has been pinned down by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the words "I am the Hokage" make Danzo Shimura feel like he is in ecstasy.

Danzo Shimura had long wanted to pin Sarutobi Hiruzen under him and experience what it felt like.

"Huruzen, oh Hiruzen, you have no choice but to admit defeat this time. Just let me get what I want!"

As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Shimura Danzo's cold face.

……

In Hatake Sakumo's ward, Kakashi had fallen asleep in front of the bed.

He just held Hatake Sakumo tightly with both hands.

Hatake Sakumo stroked Kakashi's head, his eyes full of concern and self-blame.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the Third Hokage walked in slowly and looked at Hatake Sakumo.

"The Third Hokage-sama."

Hatake Sakumo was about to say something when he was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sakumo, I came to you today to apologize to you."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, but his eyes were determined.

"It was my fault as the Hokage."

"The moment public opinion arose, I should have dealt with it."

Hatake Sakumo was also very moved when he saw the Third Hokage apologize to him.

"This incident is my fault. I should be punished for failing the mission."

Hatake Sakumo did not shirk his responsibility.

"Maybe I'm too fragile, but I still think that being punished for failing a mission and being punished for saving a teammate are not the same concept."

Hatake Sakumo's words became firmer.

Appears to be very persistent.

“Yeah, that’s not a concept.”

"Being punished for failing a mission is only natural, but being punished for saving a teammate is a violation of the Will of Fire."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "This is where I want to apologize. It's me, as the Hokage, who failed to properly handle the relationship between the Will of Fire and the Ninja Mission Code."

"So much so that you began to doubt the Will of Fire and wanted to die to prove your integrity."

Hatake Sakumo fell silent after hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Indeed, on the one hand, he committed suicide because he could not accept that the Will of Fire was despised by the Hokage, and on the other hand, he hoped that his death could warn them that the Will of Fire should not be tarnished, let alone used for political struggles.

"As the Hokage, I bear a great responsibility for the way things have developed to this point."

"I'm sorry, Sakumo. I failed to live up to your trust."

Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed deeply to Hatake Sakumo.

This was not only a bow from Sarutobi Hiruzen to Hatake Sakumo, but also a bow from himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as Hokage.

When Hatake Sakumo saw this scene, he was deeply moved.

This is the will of fire in his heart, this is the Hokage in his heart.

He looked at Kakashi gently again and gave up the idea of ​​suicide.

After all, now that Hokage has realized the importance of the Will of Fire, he can't let go of Kakashi.

At this time, Danzo Shimura also walked in, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Huruzen, I didn't expect you to be so humble as to try to win over Hatake Sakumo. But it's no use. I just want to take Hatake Sakumo away from you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Shimura Danzo coming in and said unhappily:

"Danzo, what are you doing here?"

Although Danzo Shimura's words woke him up like a slap in the face, making him realize that he was no longer suitable to be a Hokage.

But this doesn't mean that Sarutobi Hiruzen has no opinion on what Shimura Danzo did. Shimura Danzo, who is born evil, I will take revenge for this blow sooner or later.

As he was thinking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was considering when he should say, "I am the Hokage" to give his former teammate a wake-up call.

When Danzo Shimura heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, disdain flashed in his eyes.

"What am I here for? Of course I'm here to solve the problem."

"Are you going to talk some nonsense?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard what Danzo Shimura said and looked at Danzo Shimura who was in high spirits.

My goodness, Danzo Shimura is really getting carried away.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry, and asked calmly, "How do you want to solve this matter? It has come to this point, and it can no longer be solved just because you want to."

Danzo Shimura looked at Hatake Sakumo.

"Hatake Sakumo, I'm not afraid to tell you that I was the one who started this public opinion."

"Because you threaten the Hokage master-disciple inheritance system."

"I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

After saying that, Danzo Shimura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, as if to say, look at what you have done.

Shimura Danzo is very good at passing the buck.

You keep talking, you keep talking! Shimura Danzo, you’re never going to stop talking, are you?

Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth, feeling that he had made a single misstep that would lead to eternal regret.

"Hatake Sakumo is right, but the conflict between the Will of Fire and the Ninja Mission Code must be suppressed as soon as possible. We can't let the conflict continue. We must blur it."

Shimura Danzo's words drew the approval of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo.

They all knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Hatake Sakumo, you must hide from now on. You cannot appear in front of the Konoha ninjas. Otherwise, every time you appear, it will remind you that the Will of Fire conflicts with the ninja mission guidelines."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes dimmed, but he still nodded silently.

"No, Sakumo has been wronged and cannot continue to be wronged. I will never allow the heir of the Will of Fire to be buried like this."

"And it's impossible for a high-end combat force not to be used for this reason."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this in a decisive tone. After being confronted several times by Shimura Danzo, he showed some of the heroism of a Hokage.

Shimura Danzo rolled his eyes at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Hatake Sakumo just can't show up openly, but it doesn't mean he can't contribute to Konoha."

"What do you mean?"

"Hatake Sakumo, please join Root. Root is the best place for you right now."

Amidst Shimura Danzo's righteous words, he inadvertently revealed his selfish true nature.

"Danzo!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was distorted. He always felt that he was unlucky recently and had a conflict with Shimura Danzo!
"Same thing if Sakumo joins ANBU!"

"Don't treat the village ninjas as fools!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his breath was choked. Wasn't this what he said? !

"Your ANBU is not completely confidential. Hatake Sakumo's attack method is easy to recognize, so you should join my Root. The Root carries out top-secret missions and will never expose Hatake Sakumo."

When Hatake Sakumo saw this scene, he sighed quietly, and watched Kakashi refuse to let go of the hand that was holding him even when he fell asleep.

"I'd like to join the roots."

"Sakumo you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo's determined eyes and swallowed his words.

Perhaps this was the best way to deal with the consequences of being an unqualified Hokage.

When Danzo Shimura saw this scene, he smiled faintly, appearing to be able to plan and win the battle from thousands of miles away.

"Hatake Sakumo, once you have rested, please report to the Root."

Danzo Shimura left after saying this, deliberately not even looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sakumo, have a good rest."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also left. He was going to visit the shrine to get rid of the bad luck.

Why do I keep having conflicts with Danzo Shimura recently, and I'm always the one being conflicted!
unlucky!
