Chapter 31: Danzo, I am the Hokage! Hiruzen, you will regret it!
"cough!!!"

Shimura Danzo once again flew backwards like a rag doll and hit the wall heavily, with blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth.
"Danzo, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me everything you know."

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the golden cudgel in one hand. His seemingly thin body contained incredible strength, because he was holding the end of the thick golden cudgel with one hand, but the whole cudgel did not tremble even a little.

"I don't know... ahem, what are you talking about."

Leaning against the wall and sitting up with one hand, Danzo wiped the corner of his mouth and spoke intermittently.

"Hey"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"My old friend, I know you as well as you know me."

"If you hadn't been so smart as to put the ninja with the heart on the right side on the list, I might not have doubted you."

"This time, you really crossed the line."

"I'll only give you three seconds."

"three"

"two"

"One!! (I said!!)"

Almost at the moment when Shimura Danzo opened his mouth, the Ruyi Vajra Staff flew straight towards his head, only bending slightly at the last moment and piercing through the wall next to his head.

"call"

"I said."

Shimura Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with his only remaining eye. He knew that if he hadn't spoken just now, he would really die.
"Are you sure you weren't involved in the Rope Tree incident?"

After listening to Shimura Danzo's description, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to him, his unsturdy body filled with substantial murderous intent...
"Do you think I really don't recognize my relatives?"

Danzo Shimura raised his head, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, staining a large area of ​​his clothes red.

"That's the teacher's descendant!!"

"Besides, why would I kill Shengshu?"

"What's in it for me?"

"You want to weaken the ninja family, but Rope Tree's personality will only allow him to cooperate!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, accepting Shimura Danzo's explanation.

"When did Bao join you?"

Baku is an old ninja from the Anbu, or rather, he even participated in the creation of the Anbu to a certain extent. It was an assassination team established by the second generation to monitor the Uchiha clan. He couldn't imagine why such a person would betray him and join Danzo.
Of course, it's not that his personality is so charismatic, but even if we only talk about interests and not the will of fire, his betrayal is unreasonable.
Nearly twenty years of experience as a Hokage tells me that there is something wrong here.
“Maybe a few years ago.”

Shimura Danzo took a few breaths and relaxed because he knew that he had passed the test. Moreover, after Sarutobi Hiruzen asked this question, he seemed to have some reaction. The betrayal was a little bit wrong.
"After being seriously injured in an S-rank mission, he came to me and said that as the captain of the Anbu, his power was limited and his salary was not enough."

"you"

Looking at Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious. If he wasn't afraid of beating him to death, he really wanted to kill him.
"waste."

"Humph"

"Erase Kouji's file, he will be transferred back to the Anbu!"

"Why"

Danzo looked up, first angry, then surprised, and then angry again.

"Is he yours?"

"Why, are you allowed to have an undercover agent here?"

"So, do you want to use Kouji to save that bird swim Mitsuha, or to deal with Baku?"

"All!"

"Huruzen! I think this is an opportunity. That Totoro Mitsuha, his heart is not in Konoha! You can just put the blame on..." "Enough, Danzo! I am the Hokage!"

"Hiruzen, you will regret this."
-
Dividing line

"From today on, Kouji, you will be transferred out of the Root and back to the Anbu, and will resume your name, Hatake Sakumo, and your code name is White Fang!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen, a ninja with a ghost face mask and white hair seemed to have some doubts, but still responded immediately, then took off the mask, revealing a still slightly immature face, looking only eighteen or nineteen years old, and then put on an animal face mask on his face.

"The situation is a bit complicated, so I have to call you back"

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed a scroll to Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo didn't say anything, but opened the scroll and started reading.
"This is your mission this time. It's a little heavy, a little urgent, and a little... dangerous."

"Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, Hatake Sakumo will complete the mission!"

"I believe you. By the way, I heard that your child is already born?"

"Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. It's a boy."

"Did you give it a name?"

"Yes, Hatake Kakashi."

"Eh???"

Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked his eyes. Kakashi means scarecrow, but this pronunciation is no longer used much in the ninja world nowadays. It was an ancient pronunciation used by Buddhas and shrine maidens who spread knowledge in the chaotic era before the Warring States Period.

“I saw the scarecrow when I got home, so I used the name.”

"Ah this."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Enter!"

The door of the Hokage's office was pushed open, and the Anbu Director, Explosion, walked in. At the same time, Hatake Sakumo also put away the scroll in his hand.

"Hokage-sama, you are looking for me."

"Emergency mission, grade A+, you and the new ANBU ninja White Fang go to Tansho Street to protect Konoha Senju clan's young patriarch Konoha Toriyuu Mitsuha. I have received intelligence that some Kumo ninjas are preparing to capture him. Now, set off immediately. Is there any problem?"

"No!!"

Explosion...or rather, White Zetsu who was controlling the explosion was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.

It didn't know what went wrong, but now that the information about the Cloud Ninja's action had been leaked, it could only take one step at a time. Of course, it also had to be wary of this newcomer. There was no doubt that this was a manifestation of Sarutobi Hiruzen's distrust of him.

After all, he was the only one who knew the secret of the whole thing. Now that the information was leaked, it was normal for him to be suspected, but it was just a suspicion. If evidence was really found, he would probably be caught by a dragnet instead of being forced to carry out the mission with a newcomer.
"Hiruzen, what exactly are you planning?"

After Baku and Hatake Sakumo left, they used the excuse that the Jinchuriki had been captured and came to Mitokado En in the Hokage Building. Both he and Utane Koharu looked confused.

"You clearly knew there was something wrong with this explosion, so why didn't you just catch him?"

"I once heard Nidaime-sama say that when there is a cockroach in the room, you should be prepared to have a bunch of cockroaches in the house."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood with his hands behind his back, his face serious.

"Baku will never betray no matter what. So, that Baku may not be Baku. If he is arrested inside Konoha, it will definitely be a sign to the Anbu. And no one can say for sure whether there are still his accomplices in the Anbu. Before it is clear how the other party replaced Baku, the safest way is to let him leave Konoha and then purge the Anbu."

"But, that White Fang"

"Do not worry."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and patted his old friend on the shoulder.

"He is my secret weapon. I originally used him to monitor Danzo, but... alas, plans cannot keep up with changes."
