Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 122 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Ah, this damned forbidden pleasure!

Leaf.

Hiruzen Sarutobi held Orochimaru's urgent letter, his eyes filled with surprise.

In this battle, Orochimaru led Konoha to victory against the Sand and Iwa ninja, rendering them incapable of fighting.

Kirigakure also suffered heavy losses, with Uchiha Teru wiping out all seven Ninja Swordsmen.

The most amazing thing is that Uchiha Teru also died.

Double happiness!

However, the Hidden Cloud Village has no way to face the now terrifyingly strong Leaf Village!

It can be said that Konoha has basically won the Third Shinobi World War.

"Good! Orochimaru didn't disappoint me. He achieved results exceeding my expectations!"

"The Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja have been defeated and are not a concern; the Mist Ninja are nothing but withered bones in a tomb, I will capture them sooner or later! As for the Cloud Ninja..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then sneered, "If they're willing to be dignified, fine; if not, then I'll help them be dignified!"

Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi is full of confidence, even though Oshio is being dragged down by old age and is showing signs of weakness.

Despite the favorable situation in Konoha, the spirit of the ninja heroes was still upheld.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a satisfying drag on his cigarette, dreaming of a bright future and feeling like he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

So beautiful!

"Tobirama-sensei, I have not let you down. You sacrificed yourself to give Konoha the upper hand in the Second Shinobi World War, which brought Konoha nearly twenty years of peace."

"And now, under my leadership, Konoha will win the Third Shinobi World War."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment. Tobirama-sensei died in the Second Shinobi World War. If he hadn't died, he could have led Konoha to victory in the Third Shinobi World War.

Does this prove that I did a better job than Tobirama-sensei?

Hiruzen Sarutobi shivered violently.

Ah, this damned forbidden pleasure!

"bump!"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was slowly savoring the forbidden pleasure, a loud bang rang out and the Hokage's office door was violently pushed open.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so frightened that he turned pale and almost dropped his pipe.

He stared in horror as Danzo burst through the door.

"Dan...Danzo, what's wrong?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt like he had been caught red-handed by his friends while doing something wrong.

Feeling guilty, he spoke slowly and deliberately.

If Danzo had discovered that he had just been engaging in the outrageous act of fantasizing about Tobirama-sensei, he would have been caught doing so.

No, absolutely not!

Even the closest friends should be silenced for this!

"Hiruzen, I've come to see you about the Training Department. We can't let the monitoring team continue! They're seriously impacting the Training Department's efficiency and harming Konoha's interests!"

Danzo said angrily, "Sarutobi Shinnosuke led the inspection team to the training department."

They're meddling in everything, acting like they're taking over the entire training department.

According to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the duty of the inspection team is to monitor the actions of the training department and prevent the theft of Titan armor from happening again.

Danzo was furious when he heard this. The training department was built for his disciple Shii, so it belonged to him and Shii.

How can taking your own things be considered stealing?!

It was one thing for Hiruzen Sarutobi to shamelessly interfere, but Danzo tolerated it out of consideration for their long-standing friendship.

They actually dare to push their luck!

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Danzo's words; his rebellious thoughts had not been discovered.

Looks like we don't need to silence them.

Immediately, a feeling of lingering fear and terror washed over me, realizing that my secret had almost been discovered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table in a rage. "Danzo! How many times have I told you, use your job title when you're at work!"

"Also, remember to knock next time you come in! This is the Hokage's office!"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi said he was knocking, his voice cracked slightly.

He was genuinely frightened just now.

I thought Tobirama-sensei had come back to life and come to clean house.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Danzo spoke with some frustration, "But the monitoring team can't continue! Otherwise, I'll send Shii back to Root; Root is capable of building its own training department!"

Danzo remained resolute in speaking up; he would not give up any opportunity to fight for benefits.

Moreover, Shiichi is the core of the training department, and they have the advantage. Danzo did not believe that Hiruzen could give up the Titan armor.

"I understand. I will limit the inspection team, but the inspection team is also for Konoha's sake. You have to understand, Danzo."

"Hiruzen, Danzo was also thinking of Konoha. The training department is too important; it's safer if everyone manages it together."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also came in, trying to get involved in the training department.

They were so eager to get their hands on the training department that they wished they could take a bite right away, but Hiruzen and Danzo protected them too well.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to dwell on the training department any longer, so he changed the subject, "You've come at the right time. Here's the latest battle report, everyone take a look."

"Orochimaru did a good job, hmm, Shiichi performed very well. Hiruzen, this is your chance! Let me go to the front lines, I will lead Konoha to destroy the Four Great Ninja Villages!"

Danzo was overjoyed after reading the letter, his eyes burning with fervor, and his first words were to make Konoha great again.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado received the letter and were pleasantly surprised after reading it.

The war is finally coming to an end. These days, the two of them have been worried about the village and its people, even though it has been of no use.

"Danzo, you're going to extremes! The Five Great Ninja Villages were established by the First Hokage. Konoha can't, and won't, destroy the Four Great Ninja Villages."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rejected Danzo's proposal.

Let alone destroying the four great ninja villages, even destroying any one of the major ninja villages would put Konoha in an extremely unfavorable situation.

The remaining three ninja villages will join forces and launch a frenzied attack on Konoha, aiming for mutual destruction.

Do not underestimate the strength of any major ninja village, and the Daimyo's office will not support Konoha's actions.

"What we should do most now is to end this Third Shinobi World War. This war has caused too much damage to Konoha."

"Yes, yes, it's better for the war to end sooner rather than later."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado agreed wholeheartedly. Having held high positions and enjoyed their privileges for so long, they were not particularly interested in waging war, even if they had the upper hand.

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Danzo slammed the door shut and left, the impact causing a loud noise.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard the door slam again, he remembered what had just happened and couldn't help but shudder.

"Hiruzen, are you alright?"

Koharu Utatane saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's appearance and asked him with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just... never mind, I plan to have the Konoha troops on the western front withdraw and rest."

"Indeed, after fighting such a long war, it's time for them to rest and recuperate. This would also be a reward for them."

Koharu Utatane nodded. She had very little say in the war and mostly followed Hiruzen and Danzo's decisions.
