This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The dozens of people in the Iwagakure investigation team were almost wiped out, and Danzo also forced the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki to transform into a half-tailed beast.

The most important thing is that these Rock Ninjas came to investigate the attack on the logistics troops. What does it mean for Danzo to take action against this group of Rock Ninjas?

Such an action is almost equivalent to admitting that Iwagakure's logistics forces were "destroyed" by Konoha.

This time the feud has become completely serious.

It's like yellow mud falling into your crotch, it's either shit or it's shit.

Given the complicated situation in Konoha, the authority of "Hokage" represented by Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as powerful as imagined.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's position as Hokage relies on the means of checks and balances.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very careful with every step he took, to avoid revealing any flaws and being criticized by those in the village who opposed the Hokage.

Under normal circumstances, it would be fine to offend the Iwagakure, but the Konoha family is big and powerful and can afford to offend them.

The major forces in the village did not mind going to war with Iwagakure, and each tried to gain all the benefits.

But when is it now?

Konoha is currently unable to take care of itself, and it already has two enemies outside, the Amegakure and the Sunagakure. Even Konoha, a powerful country, cannot withstand such turmoil.

Because of the mistake made by Danzo, Konoha created Iwagakure as an enemy. If Iwagakure cannot swallow this and declares war on Konoha on 717, the situation will be completely out of control.

So if the news brought by Danzo is announced, no one else will tell anyone else for the time being.

The Uchiha and Hinata would definitely be furious immediately and would pursue him as the Hokage without saying a word.

After all, everyone in Konoha knows that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu are in the same boat.

In the eyes of the villagers, Danzo's mistakes were almost equivalent to Sarutobi Hiruzen's mistakes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect that he only sent Danzo to "clean up the aftermath", but he ended up making things worse and causing such a big disaster.

Now that the incident has happened, the first thing Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to think about is how to deal with it.

How to do?

Even the shrewd Sarutobi Hiruzen was lost in thought at this moment.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes looking at Danzo became increasingly cold.

He even thought at one point that since things had come to this point, he might as well just push Danzo out to take the blame and shoulder all the responsibility.

If necessary, he could even hand over Danzo to appease the anger of Iwagakure.

But soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed the idea.

Of course, this is not due to any "morality" or "partnership", but to deeper reasons.

Over the years, Danzo has done a lot of shady things for him, and some of them were even targeted at some people in the village.

If he pushed Danzo into a corner, Danzo would make all this public, and the "glorious, great, and upright" image that Sarutobi Hiruzen had painstakingly built would be completely destroyed.

Not only that, the connection between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen is as close as the shadow and the real person of the same person.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen could do the "heroic act of self-sacrifice", the adverse effects that would result would be unbearable for him.

The first thing that would be affected was the impact on the Hokage's prestige. If he couldn't even protect Danzo, who would dare to hang out with Sarutobi Hiruzen in the future? Such an action would cause Sarutobi Hiruzen's popularity in the village to plummet.

The most important thing is that Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed Danzo to take the blame, which seemed to be just "dealing with internal problems", but in fact it was a slap in Konoha's face.

When did the mighty Konoha fall to the point where it had to admit its mistakes and send away the village's ninjas in exchange for peace?

If Sarutobi Hiruzen really did this, he would probably be criticized immediately, and the direct impact would still be a decline in his own reputation.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally gave up the idea of pushing Danzo out to take the blame.

Sarutobi Hiruzen racked his brains, thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

Finally, he seemed to have figured out a solution.

A cold light flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and this cold gaze made Danzo, who was always known for his cruel heart and ruthlessness, tremble in his heart.

"That old man Sarutobi Hiruzen, isn't he planning to..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes frightened Danzo, because he seemed to have seen such eyes somewhere before.

Because every time he has a problem and pushes someone else to take the blame, this kind of look seems to appear in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen plans to sacrifice him!

As soon as this thought appeared in Danzo's mind, he instantly panicked.

Because he suddenly realized that if Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't protect him, he would almost certainly die!!!

"Hiruzen, you..."

Danzo was about to say something when Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly interrupted him.

"Don't worry about this."

"I can handle it."

"Listen carefully, no word of this matter can leak out at all!"

"Otherwise, even I can't protect you. Do you understand?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this in a sharp tone, and the sharpness in his tone made Danzo a little frightened.

Danzo had never seen Sarutobi Hiruzen so sharp before, so he could only nod in response like a chicken pecking at rice.

At the same time, Danzo felt at ease.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words basically ruled out the possibility of pushing him out to take the blame.

"Okay, that's the end of this matter."

"Danzo, you need to rest."

"Go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his back and spoke coldly, his tone icy without a trace of emotion.

Seeing this, Danzo didn't say anything, stood up and left the Hokage's office. If you look closely, you can find that Danzo's legs seem to be trembling slightly.

After Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the Hokage's seat in the dim room without saying a word, with a gloomy expression, and the power on his body was as terrifying as a ghost.

terrible!

Danzo recalled the aura that Sarutobi Hiruzen had just emitted, and felt a chill in his heart.

It was not until this moment that he realized that he seemed to have never understood this "amiable" companion.

At the same time, a hint of relief flashed through Danzo's heart.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not choose to hold him accountable in the end.

But this time, Danzo was still defeated and lost completely.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen helped him clean up the mess, it didn't mean that Danzo didn't need to bear any responsibility.

Whether it is the loss of the Root ninjas carefully trained by Danzo, or the temporary loss of the trust of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, these impacts are not insignificant.

But soon, Danzo recovered.

Although he was temporarily frightened by Sarutobi Hiruzen's aura, Danzo's reputation as the Darkest of the Ninja World was not made up.

He recalled seeing the miraculous power on the tundra of the Frost Kingdom!

"What on earth is that?"

Danzo recalled the huge star again, with a hint of burning and fear in his eyes.

Even Danzo himself didn't know why he wanted to hide this matter from Sarutobi Hiruzen, but in the end Danzo did it anyway.

He had to find out what this power was.

And how can one obtain this power?

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes were somewhat profound.

Chapter 319: The Worst Demon King in History

When Bi looked at the young face across from him again, his eyes were filled with awe.

This kind of gaze is not the look humans have when facing "people" of the same level. If you have to say it, it is more like the look a devout believer has when he enters a temple and sees an immortal god who is not affected by worldly affairs.

He no longer knew what words to use to describe it all.

Mizunoe Ryosuke, perhaps he really is a god.

Such a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in Bi's mind.

Even though Mizunoe Ryosuke had already ordered Kaguya Yuuta to lead the White Shark Force of the Frost Country to try their best to eliminate the impact of Chibaku Tensei.

But some things really cannot be eliminated.

For a ninja, it is not difficult to "erase" the memory of an ordinary person.

Almost all ninjas with special abilities in perception and proficiency in Yin Dun can do this easily.

This approach is also a method often chosen by ninjas to eliminate their whereabouts and avoid the exposure of intelligence.

By erasing the townspeople's memories, the continued spread of the Chibaku Tensei's influence can be stopped.

But truth will come to light sooner or later, and the impact of the Earth-shattering Star cannot be avoided.

For example, a simple and crude method like "erasing memory" will naturally "not work" for some people.

For example, the man in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke has dark skin, fierce eyes and dark skin.

Regarding the competition in front of him, Mizunoe Ryosuke had no intention of actively explaining. He just looked at him with a faint smile without saying a word, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

And Bi didn't ask actively, but just stared at Mizunoe Ryosuke's face with a complicated expression.

Better than not asking about the Dibaku Tensei.

He also didn't question why Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't take him with him on this mission.

Because after spending some time together, Bi already knew one thing clearly.

He can only know what Mizunoe Ryosuke wants him to know.

And he would never know what Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't want him to know.

But even so, Bi is still Bi.

If Bi, who has an aggressive personality, could completely calm down, he would not be the same Bi anymore.

"Sir, I seem to have understood some of the teachings you gave me before."

"But I still don't understand what you mean by the key to war."

He spoke seriously and asked Mizunoe Ryosuke respectfully, still sitting in the "disciple etiquette".

This was also the first time that he used the title of "Mr." to address Mizunoe Ryosuke, which also showed that at this moment, Hibiki respected Mizunoe Ryosuke from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Ryosuke's expression didn't change much, and there was even a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at Bi.

The "Eagle" has been completely "hardened".

"It's come to this, everything is settled."

"Of course there's nothing I can't say."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said leisurely. This time, he rarely continued to "torture" Bi, but readily agreed to Bi's request.

"Thank you sir!"

Bi was overjoyed, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke just smiled without saying anything, and controlled the clothes in an expert manner just right.

But soon, Bi reacted and said in a confused manner.

"What do you mean by 'the dust has settled', sir?"

A trace of horror flashed through Bi's mind. He seemed to suddenly think of a possibility and looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke at a loss.

"It's just what you have in mind."
