A fighter from Hyuga

The smile on his face slowly faded, and Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to Danzo in the same serious tone.

Human experiments, experiments on Hashirama's cells.

The impact of this kind of thing is really terrible.

"Monkey, you must know that although this war is over, a new war will soon break out, and we don't have much time left.

And in the next war, will Konoha have to defeat some and compromise with others like it did today?

Only with Wood Release, and only when a ninja like the First Hokage appears in the village, can Konoha have true peace! "

"Well, you are right."

Looking at Danzo who seemed very excited in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly.

"But this experiment cannot be carried out."

After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"Shodaime Hokage, he is Tsunade's grandfather after all. If you want to conduct such an experiment, what will Tsunade think of you? What will Nawaki think of you? And what will Shuji think of you?"

"How will the villagers view the village? Have you ever thought about this?"

After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen silently looked at Danzo in front of him and asked a series of questions.

"I……"

Hearing this, Danzo's eyes suddenly froze, and he choked back the words he was about to say.

That’s right, the issues raised by Sarutobi Hiruzen are indeed objective facts.

but……

Compared to what others think of him, Danzo wants to make Konoha great again!

"I……"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him, Danzo spoke again.

But he only uttered one word and couldn't say the rest.

At this moment, Danzo inexplicably thought of himself who hesitated when facing the questions raised by his teacher that year.

but……

This time, I won't back down!

"I want to set up a new department, mainly to train ninjas who are about to enter the Anbu."

Looking up, Danzo said to Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him.

Danzo believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what he meant.

I will do the work and bear the blame, as long as I can make Konoha great again, that's enough.

"you……"

Looking at the companion in front of him who had experienced countless life and death experiences with him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's lips trembled and he could not utter a word.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the consequences of Danzo's actions better than Danzo.

If some of the things Danzo did against Uchiha in the past were not so clean.

So if Danzo really did this thing.

Then Danzo is destined to never see the light of day in his life.

"Let's call it Gen. This department will be called Gen Gen."

For some reason, Danzo suddenly felt sad.

Leaning back in his chair, he spoke silently to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The roots that provide nutrients to the towering tree of Konoha."

"it is good."

Looking at his best friend, after a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to admit that if a ninja as powerful as the first Hokage could appear in the village again...

Konoha could really have peace for a long time.

Even though, this ninja might be weaker than the first Hokage.

Even though, success may require paying a certain price.

even if...

Your best friend will never be able to stand in the sun again.

Chapter 175, Danzo: I don't need it anymore! I don't need it anymore!

"Click!"

Along with the sound of the Hokage's office door closing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly shuddered all over and subconsciously picked up the document that had been thrown aside and started reading it.

"Ugh……"

After a moment, with a long sigh of dejection, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally put the documents in his hand on the table helplessly.

A huge feeling of powerlessness slowly rose from the bottom of Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

How come...

Is it so difficult?

……

Walking on the bustling streets of the village, Danzo moved forward step by step.

If I did this, I would never be able to become Hokage, right?

but……

For the village.

There is no way...

What else can be done?

Sand Village, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and the hidden villages in those small countries.

Every village is staring at Konoha.

They all wanted to pull Konoha down from the number one position and take its place.

They all want to benefit from Konoha.

Yes, this time, Amegakure surrendered and Sunagakure was also defeated.

However, as time goes by, Sand Village will become strong again.

Yuyin will become strong again.

And this time, the villages that did not participate in the war will become stronger.

Who will be Konoha's opponent in the next war?

Is it Kumogakure and Iwagakure?

Or Kirigakure and Sandagakure?

Or the air ninja whose country was nearly destroyed by Konoha in this war?

Who knows?

But Konoha will definitely be the one that gets beaten.

This cycle continued over and over again, and Konoha survived the Second Ninja World War.

What about the third time?

What about the fourth time?

What about the fifth time?

There will come a day when Konoha will no longer be able to hold on.

Therefore, the experiment on Hashirama's cells must be carried out.

The village really needs a ninja as powerful as the Shodaime Hokage.

Konoha, if you want to survive in this cruel world.

Becoming stronger is the only way.

If I become the price that must be sacrificed if the village wants to become stronger.

Then sacrifice it!

His eyes began to become firm, and it was at this moment that Danzo suddenly realized that he had walked into a forest without realizing it.

Look around, step on the spots of light left on the ground after the sunlight shines through the leaves.

Danzo leaned against a big tree and slowly sat down on the ground.

From now on, I will have no one to rely on.

I will be buried deep underground, doing things that are destined to be unacceptable to anyone.

Shuuji...

A Flying Thunder God Kunai appeared in Danzo's hand at some point.

With a slightly obsessed look in his eyes, Danzo carefully played with the kunai in his hand.

And in Danzo's eyes, this kunai gradually turned into Shusi's face.

At this moment, Danzo recalled his first meeting with Shuji that day.

The little kid who was treating the wounded on the spot at the entrance of the medical department.

The little brat who captured a Rain Village jonin for himself on his first mission.
