Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 166 On Minato Namikaze

Pushing open the office door, bright light shone through the gap in the door. As the door was opened, the light in the room also shone into the dark root base.

Sakura opened the office door and looked around the office with her green eyes, as well as the old man sitting in the main seat who seemed to be looking at some documents.

Apart from a map of the ninja world on the wall, there were only photos of the first and second generations, and the entire office seemed rather simple.

"coming."

Danzo Shimura raised his head and looked at Sakura, who had pulled a chair and sat in front of him.

"looking for me?"

Sakura crossed her arms and looked at Danzo Shimura in front of her, or to be more precise, at the other's single eye under the bandage.

Those were Uchiha Shisui's eyes, which possessed the most powerful illusion called Kotoamatsukami.

One can perfectly manipulate a person's mind and bring it directly under one's control.

But Sakura was not afraid of this at all.

As Sakura developed Yin and Yang techniques, she became more and more familiar with these two chakra properties.

After all, the Sharingan is a product of Yin Dun. Even though it has all kinds of inexplicable abilities, what Sakura is least afraid of is the illusion-type Sharingan.

Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi was forced out by Sakura in Yintun, so even Kotoamatsukami would not be very effective...

should.

"You wrote this Will of Fire very well."

Danzo Shimura looked at the girl in front of him, a barely perceptible darkness flashed in his eyes, and he pushed the document he had just read in front of Sakura.

Looking at the slightly yellowed test paper in front of him, the clear handwriting on it clearly shows that it was written by Sakura.

With her pink eyebrows raised slightly and a hint of provocation flashing in her emerald eyes, Sakura said:

"so what?"

Listening to Sakura's obvious hostility, Shimura Danzo sighed and said:

"Did Hiruzen say a lot of bad things about me in front of you?"

Looking at Danzo Shimura sighing in front of her, Sakura didn't say anything, but continued to watch what he was about to say.

"Back then, I followed the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, with Hiruzen, Uchiha Kagami and others to the Land of Lightning to discuss a ceasefire agreement, but we were ambushed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku."

"In times of crisis, Master Tobirama said that we should choose one person to cover our retreat and give everyone a chance to survive."

Shimura Danzo was talking about some old things by himself, as if he was lost in memories.

"I was about to step forward and speak, but Hiruzen beat me to it."

"Lord Tobirama never intended to let us choose to be the last one to leave. His real intention was to select the next Hokage."

"It was because I didn't speak faster than Hiruzen that I lost the position of Hokage."

"From now on, Hiruzen is the big tree basking in the sun, and I am the root buried deep underground."

Sakura listened to the other party's old story, tilted her head and asked back:
"so what?"

"You think this is unfair?"

Listening to Sakura's words, Shimura Danzo's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a slightly louder voice:
"Of course it's not fair!"

"I was just a step slow!"

"The Hokage is his!"

"what is this!"

"It would be fine if Sarutobi Hiruzen did a good job as the Hokage, but what happened in Konoha over the years?!"

"You are still young, you don't know!"

Danzo Shimura was a little agitated, but this did not cause any ripples in Sakura's heart.

We are all adults...

wrong……

You are an adult now, can you please stop acting in front of me, a minor?
Sakura didn't believe that the other party, with decades of experience, could be so easily excited after just a few words.

"During Sarutobi Hiruzen's reign, Konoha White Fang committed suicide, Orochimaru defected, Jiraiya and Tsunade left, the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails, and the Uchiha clan was exterminated!"

"Don't all these things mean anything?"

"Fortunately, Konoha is a wealthy family with sufficient resources to allow Sarutobi Hiruzen to squander like this, but I can't just stand by and watch him do whatever he wants!"

Danzo Shimura was very passionate, and he looked tall and majestic under the bright lights.

Sakura looked at the test paper in front of her that was stained with Shimura Danzo's saliva and remained silent.

This paper is dirty and cannot be used.

Besides, even if you want to throw dirty water on the old man, can you find a better excuse?

These are the things that happened. Do you dare to say that you are not adding fuel to the fire?

Sakura wasn't quite sure what was going on with White Fang.

But Orochimaru's defection and the extermination of the Uchiha clan are closely related to you, Elder Danzo.

Moreover, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, where were the people from Root, and where were you, Elder Danzo?
Danzo Shimura couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at Sakura who was unmoved.

He tried his best to show off his acting skills.

Why doesn't this little devil even bow down when I tell him to? He doesn't even react at all.

It must be that Sarutobi Hiruzen brainwashed her too deeply!
Damn monkey!
"So, what does Elder Danzo want from me?"

Sakura looked at Danzo Shimura in front of her and spoke.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"Following Sarutobi Hiruzen is doomed to have a bad ending. White Fang, Orochimaru, and Uchiha are bloody examples!"

Danzo Shimura couldn't help but put his hands on the table when looking at Sakura in front of him, and he gave Sakura earnest advice with the look of a man who had experienced it.

"If you are willing to join the Root, I will accept you as my disciple immediately!"

"I will teach you everything I have learned throughout my life!"

"At the same time, the entire root is at your disposal!"

When Sakura heard this, her eyes moved slightly, which made Danzo Shimura happy.

There is a play!

Sure enough, such a smart girl, how could she not know the principle of keeping something in reserve!

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't make her completely fall in love with him!

"But the old man is raising me as the next Hokage, right?"

"Or does Lord Danzo think that the Hokage is not as good as the Root?"

"Or do you think the Hokage can't mobilize the Root?"

Sakura pretended to be slightly distressed and looked at the old man in front of her.

The conflicted look in those eyes was like a loud slap directly on Shimura Danzo's face.

This made the words that Shimura Danzo was about to say stuck in his throat.

"Hokage?"

"Minato Namikaze thought the same thing back then. What was the result?"

Danzo Shimura thought quickly and quickly took out Minato Namikaze as a shield.

"he died!"

"Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knows the Shiki Fuujin, so why doesn't he use it and sacrifice his old body to seal the Nine-Tails?!"

Listening to Shimura Danzo's words, Sakura sighed softly, her eyes slightly dim.

"Danzo-sama, do you really think that if the Fourth Hokage survives, everything will be alright?"

Listening to Sakura's words, Shimura Danzo paused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Cough cough."

Sakura cleared her throat and looked seriously at Danzo Shimura in front of her.

She felt it necessary to explain to Danzo Shimura, who seemed to have lived in vain for decades, what responsibility meant.

Free, no charge.

"Minato Namikaze is the Yondaime Hokage, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is his wife."

"Such a major accident happened during his tenure. What if he survived?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Sakura, who had entered the preaching mode, with a confused look on his face. Shouldn't he have called this girl over because he was the one who brainwashed the third generation?
How did it become like this?

I was like a fledgling ninja school student in front of her.

Danzo Shimura inexplicably came up with this weird idea.

"When a Jinchūriki is giving birth, the sealing technique's effects are at their weakest."

"Even Mito-sama didn't take the Kyuubi into her body until after she gave birth."

"From what I understand, the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had the Nine-Tails sealed within him since he was a child."

"Strictly speaking, female Jinchūriki are not suitable for bearing children." "But Namikaze Minato still did it. The Nine-Tails not only broke the seal but also went berserk."

"Although there was an invasion by foreign enemies, which led to the unsealing of the Nine-Tails, Namikaze Minato is the Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is his wife."

“This is a responsibility he cannot escape.”

No, that dead monkey Sarutobi Hiruzen had shown this girl so many secrets that he even knew something like this.

Danzo Shimura cursed Sarutobi Hiruzen madly in his heart.

"The Nine-Tails will be unsealed. Using the Fourth Hokage's sealing technique to seal it, it won't be easy, but it shouldn't be too difficult."

"It can be seen from the fourth generation's wife Uzumaki Kushina that the sealing technique on her is definitely not the Shiki Fuujin, but the Four Symbols Seal."

"There is no need to seal the Nine-Tails."

Sakura pushed up the non-existent glasses on her nose and smiled with satisfaction at the look of Shimura Danzo in front of her.

"Then why did the Fourth use the Demonic Fuujin?"

Danzo Shimura's support was just right.

"Good question!"

Sakura knocked on the table.

Pay attention to the blackboard and take notes!
"How is the relationship between the Yondaime and his wife?"

Sakura asked.

"It should be pretty good..."

Shimura Danzo answered with a little hesitation.

In his memory, the Hidden Cloud Village once tried to kidnap Uzumaki Kushina, and the twelve-year-old Namikaze Minato went to rescue her alone without hesitation.

"That's right, the fourth generation died for love!"

???

Danzo Shimura frowned as he looked at the girl in front of him, lost in thought.

It's not that he doesn't understand love.

In fact, many Root members were controlled by him with the emotion of love.

Family, friendship, love.

Danzo Shimura is the one who knows best how offensive the word "love" is.

But as a dignified Hokage, would he abandon Konoha, which had just suffered a severe blow, just because of the death of one person?
This is too childish.

Is this still my responsibility as a Hokage?

Wait, responsibility?!

"It seems that Danzo-san, you have already thought of the most crucial point."

Sakura looked at Danzo Shimura in front of her with satisfaction.

Danzo-san?

Danzo Shimura was about to speak, but was interrupted by Sakura.

Sakura, who was in the right state, spoke seriously:

"During his tenure, he required his wife to give birth despite her status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"After the Nine-Tail went berserk, not only did we fail to stop it in the first place, we couldn't even find the person."

"It resulted in Konoha being severely damaged by the Nine-Tails, many elite ninjas were killed, and countless villagers were killed and injured."

"My beloved wife is about to die."

"The responsibilities of being a Hokage, the responsibilities of being a husband, and the newborn child made him a father, which made Minato Namikaze exhausted."

"Looking at my beloved wife who is about to die in my arms."

"Feeling my wife's gradually cooling body."

"Looking at the devastated village, looking at the corpses of countless comrades who died in the Third Ninja World War."

"Those were the backbone of Konoha at the time, ninjas who had experienced war and fire. Facing the Nine-Tails, those below the level of Chunin were completely useless. All those who died were special jonin, jonin, and even elite jonin like Yuhi Shinku."

"The loss of a large number of jonin almost brought Konoha to its knees."

"What kind of criticism will he face as the Hokage afterwards."

"Under tremendous pressure, Minato Namikaze made up his mind."

"Rather than living a miserable life with all the criticism, it is better to go to hell with my beloved wife and trust the third generation. I believe that he will take care of everything."

"He died like this to atone for his sins, and he also earned the reputation of a hero."

Looking at the eloquent Sakura, Danzo Shimura fell into self-doubt.

Could it be that this was really the case at that time?
The fourth generation could have survived, but he chose to commit suicide?
Danzo Shimura's lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to see Minato Namikaze on that night twelve years ago.

What kind of choices and psychological pressure is he facing?

Wait, aren't we talking about Sarutobi Hiruzen?
How did it get involved with Minato Namikaze?
Ok?
I mentioned Minato Namikaze first, that's fine...

Shimura Danzo pursed his lips and then said:

"So you think that Minato Namikaze chose to die because he couldn't bear the pressure?"

Listening to Shimura Danzo's words, Sakura raised her eyebrows and said:

"Who knows? After all, I'm not him."

"After all, hasn't Elder Danzo witnessed the power of people's words?"

Sakura spoke with a dry mouth, glanced at the kettle on Shimura Danzo's desk, hesitated for a moment and looked a little disgusted.

"Indeed, that White Fang thing... huh?!"

Danzo Shimura spoke subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses and looked at Sakura in front of him with an unfriendly expression.

This damn pink-haired guy is just trying to trick himself!
I thought this pink-haired girl was willing to talk to me so much because she was willing to join my side, but I didn't expect...

"It seems that Elder Danzo is well aware that words are like swords that can cut down heroes."

Sakura looked at the one-eyed old man in front of her with a half-smile.

It seems there is a result.

The incident with Kakashi's father also had the shadow of Shimura Danzo.

After all, if Hatake Sakumo had been able to survive, there would be no chance of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

But the old guy didn't expect that not only Hatake Sakumo but also Namikaze Minato would die.

"Don't try to throw dirty water on the old man. Before you throw dirty water on others, think about whether you are clean or not."

Sakura stood up, obviously planning to leave.

However, Shimura Danzo spoke at this moment:

"Do you think you can get away so easily?!"

The one-eyed old man slowly stood up and looked at the girl in front of him with a gloomy gaze.

"Or else?"

"My mother asked me to go home for dinner."

"Elder Danzo, you should go home and eat too."

The pink hair that had already reached her shoulders was entangled on the girl's white fingers, and her playful green eyes were not afraid of the old man's threat at all.

"I'm sorry, I forgot, Elder Danzo, you are an orphan."

"No parents~~~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shimura Danzo's face immediately became extremely ugly.

As soon as he gave an order, dozens of members of the Root Department rushed in from outside the office and surrounded the girls!
"Disrespecting elders is a crime of great disrespect!"

"Take it!"

Danzo Shimura shouted loudly, and the surrounding Root members started to take action!

however……

"Ghana~~~"

Bang!
A wisp of white smoke rose up from the office, and there was no trace of Sakura!

Shadow clone!
Although she had Yin Release that was powerful enough to counter Tsukuyomi, Sakura was unsure if she could defend against Kotoamatsukami. So she took advantage of the Root member who was leading the way not paying attention and used her shadow clone to perform a trick of replacing the prince with a cat!

Apparently, it works well.

"!!!"

Haruno Sakura!
Looking at the shadow clone disappearing without a trace before his eyes, Danzo Shimura's face looked extremely ugly.

He wanted to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen for help with Haruno Sakura, but he had no good reason.

The other party's words that he had no parents really irritated Shimura Danzo.

At this moment, Sakura, who was facing Meiko Haruno's lecture, picked up the food in the bowl with a smile on her lips.

As for whether Danzo Shimura will cause trouble for his parents?
As long as one of her parents' hairs is missing, Sakura can tear it out at the root and then skin Shimura Danzo alive!
