Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

You think you're my boss?!

Although I was complaining in my heart, I was listening intently.

"If you want, I can help you, but I'm not specifically asking you to."

"Let me make this clear to you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his seat and took a sip of hot tea: "I will give you official endorsement for some of the things that Root did in the past."

Danzo Shimura's breathing became heavy involuntarily, and doubts welled up in his heart.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, would he really take the blame for himself?

Was the Sage of Six Paths still the creator of the ninja world?

Danzo Shimura couldn't wait for Hiruzen Sarutobi to continue, but Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly sipped his tea.

She glanced at him, her chin slightly raised.

This means that I have already demonstrated my sincerity.

Next…

Your turn.

Danzo Shimura was filled with conflicting thoughts.

Should we reveal the story about that Wood Release test subject...?

That's a precious Wood Release ninja!

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's composed demeanor left him completely baffled.

"At Orochimaru's request, I cooperated with him to conduct some Wood Release experiments."

Danzo Shimura carefully chose his words: "We paid a price, but the results were extremely gratifying. We produced experimental subjects that survived the intensity of the first generation of adult cells."

"I'm here today to talk to you about this."

This is a lie.

He came here specifically to criticize Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi beckoned, and Danzo Shikimura sat down, pouring him a cup of tea.

He seemed completely unconcerned about Wood Release.

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly. That was Wood Release!

He couldn't help but start making plans.

Is Hiruzen Sarutobi waiting for a higher price, pretending not to care to lower the price he's asking for... or did he actually know all along?

The cool tea tasted bland and tasteless, overwhelmed by my chaotic thoughts.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed completely unconcerned about the Wood Release experiment he had just witnessed, and said with a smile, "That's all?"

"I recently acquired a talented ninja from the Aburame clan."

Danzo Shimura's tone grew increasingly annoyed:

"Hiruzen, is this even a big deal? If I don't go and demand people from those arrogant ninja clans, how will Root have any fighting power? How will we establish the authority of the Hokage lineage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily: "Look, you're in such a hurry again. It's been a long time since we two old brothers sat down and had a chat together. I'm just concerned about your work and life."

"You've really had a tough time all these years."

Danzo Shimura sneered inwardly. This monkey, why is he playing the sentimental card now!

But his taut, deadpan face softened somewhat unconsciously.

"Sometimes, I see you cultivating a kind of armed force at the root, and you're trying your best to keep it from me..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly changed the subject: "I'm not angry, but rather a little heartbroken."

"You know you're not in the normal Hokage promotion sequence, so you're probably forming these private armies because you're thinking that if I'm gone one day, you can try to stage an armed coup, right?"

"Besides considering the village, you also want to obtain this power by initiating research on Hashirama's cells, right?"

"Power is power, that's true, but in Konoha, to completely equate the two is to disregard the training we received from Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama..."

The atmosphere became heavy.

When the Hokage points out that his subordinates have the intention to seize power by force, this is definitely the most severe accusation.

As for Shimura Danzo...

Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to know himself a little too well…

The two drank tea in silence for a long time.

“I haven’t thought that way.” Shimura Danzo slowly said, “Hiruzen, just tell me what you want to do.”

"After all, you are the Hokage..."

But what he didn't expect was...

Instead of being reprimanded by Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was met with a scolding.

It is a guarantee.

"Danzo, I promise you with the honor of being Tobirama's disciple that I will consider you as one of the official candidates for Hokage from now on."

This statement carries significant weight.

So much so that Danzo Shimura urgently asked, "Hiruzen, are you serious?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and pointed to the portrait of Tobirama Senju on the office wall.

Danzo Shimura's heart instantly burned with passion.

"Now that you've embarked on the right path, you should operate in the sunlight, Danzo..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sipped his tea: "Keep a few of the Root members as you're comfortable with, and I'll handle the rest."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare a position for you."

The main event is coming!

Danzo Shimura was rapidly calculating in his mind.

He certainly didn't think that Hiruzen Sarutobi would be so kind as to guide him onto the right path and leave him with so many men.

Moreover, the asking price is actually quite fair.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were a little more ruthless...

With his meager power, what kind of trouble could this so-called assistant and leader of the root cause stir up?

Light is a third generation…

Although Shimura Danzo didn't want to admit it, the monkey was indeed a formidable opponent!

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, his three disciples, Sakumo Hatake, and the various ninja clans gathered in the name of the Hokage…

Even the Uchiha clan, if they were to come and suppress him, they would all have to serve this stinky monkey!

As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi is alive, it would be too easy to subdue him.

“Hiruzen, I think Root should still be…” Shimura Danzo took a deep breath, trying to bargain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his index finger, signaling him to be quiet: "Danzo, you need to consider this from the Hokage's perspective. If you were the Hokage, how would you treat Root?"

Danzo Shimura remained silent.

In Konoha today, the Hokage's power is far from unlimited.

However, for him, the Hokage's assistant and the leader of Root who was bound by the laws of Konoha, this was a fatal blow.

Moreover, they even used Lord Tobirama as collateral…

By making the competition for Hokage public, they promised him a fair chance to compete.

The portion size is sufficient.

"I see."

Danzo Shimura placed a scroll on the table: "I'll also tell you some things about Orochimaru, Hiruzen..."

"I will handle the matter at the root."

"But what you promised me..."

Having said that, he gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep look and strode towards the door.

And then take two steps out of the office.

As Shimura Danzo looked at the open door, a thought struck him.

Although reluctant, he still turned around and closed the door.

In the past...

He won't close the door for the monkeys!

It's a miracle they didn't slam the door!

But times have changed; this old guy still deserves some respect…

Danzo Shimura, with a sour face, turned around and closed the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the door close with a smile, raising an eyebrow.

Clearly, he wasn't the same Hiruzen Sarutobi from before...

He was once a senior government official named Yuan Fei, who was making great strides in his career when he was unfortunately diagnosed with ALS.

The only thing to do is to actively treat the illness and relax by browsing historical anecdotes during rest periods.

A few days ago, for some reason, the algorithm pushed a video that used Naruto as a metaphor for history.

Although the content was somewhat ambiguous, it made even someone like him who had never watched Naruto smile knowingly. He watched several episodes in a row before finally falling asleep.

After Yuan Fei woke up, he found himself in this ninja world, having become the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Although this body was not that of a boy, it contained power far beyond his comprehension.

Moreover.
