Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Danzo's eyes flashed with light, and he once again sorted out the information in his hands, thinking about the most correct response.

He must seize the opportunity like the disappearance of the fourth Tsuchikage.

"Orochimaru... White Fang, Golden Flash, what qualifications do you people have to run for Hokage? I have done so many things for Konoha, and only I am qualified to be the next Hokage."

Danzo's eyes flashed fiercely.

In the past few years, Orochimaru, who has mastered Wood Release, Konoha White Fang, who has developed the Thunder of Destruction, Yellow Flash, who has the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Jiraiya, the great fame these four people have gained in the war has made the four become Danzo was completely excluded as a strong candidate for the next Hokage in everyone's mind.

It was obvious that Danzo was able to withstand Iwagakure's large-scale attack by himself, but in the end, everyone's eyes stayed on those four people.

Danzo was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it for the moment.

The strength of those four people is indeed terrifying.

But now, as long as he is the first to defeat Iwagakure and gain huge benefits for Konoha, no one can stop him from becoming Hokage after the war.

"Lord Danzo!"

When Danzo fantasizes about becoming the Fourth Hokage, a root ninja enters Danzo's tent.

"Danzo-sama, Namikaze Minato is back."

"Hmm...so fast?"

After hearing what his subordinates said, a trace of astonishment flashed across Danzo's face behind the desk.

"The security force found the injured Namikaze Minato outside. They are currently rushing to Danzo-sama. They should arrive soon."

"Minato is hurt?"

Danzo was startled again and took a few steps to come to his men.

"Is the injury serious?" Sandai asked quietly with a flash of his eyes.

"A layer of flesh was shaved off the right arm, but other than that, there were no other injuries."

"That's it!"

Danzo was a little disappointed. If he was seriously injured, he wouldn't mind finding an opportunity to get rid of Namikaze Minato, the biggest threat.

Compared to Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Konoha White Fang.

Danzo knew very well that each of these three people had their own problems. There was a threat to him taking the position of the Fourth Hokage, but it was not that big.

On the contrary, Danzo, who knew his old gay friend Hiruzen was very clear about the kind of person he was, knew that Minato, an obedient boy who was easily trapped by favors, could not lose face and was willing to listen to the old man's words, was the biggest threat.

With a perfect character design, and most importantly with the support of that bastard Hiruzen, Minato has a better chance than anyone else to become the next Hokage.

This is something Danzo would not allow.

It's a pity... Minato, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God and has terrifying abnormal neurological reaction speed, is too difficult to kill.

Even though his right arm was injured and he couldn't form the seal, as long as his mind was clear, no one could keep Minato who could still use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But...who could let Minato get hurt?

Danzo was curious, and then he thought of something and asked, "Besides Minato, is there anyone else?"

"Nothing."

Hmm... Danzo's eyes lit up slightly. Minato was injured, but his companions didn't come back. This familiar plot reminded him of a certain operation in the past.

Don't worry, wait until you meet Minato.

Danzo smiled inwardly.

Not a moment.

Minato followed the root ninja to Danzo.

Danzo, who saw Minato's injury in person, his eyes narrowed, and he was even more curious about who caused Minato's arm to be injured so badly, and at the same time, he frowned secretly.

Someone who could hurt Minato to such an extent had extraordinary strength.

"Lord Danzo, Li Yao is not dead, he is back."

"Li...Li Yao!!!"

Danzo was a little unresponsive at first and was stunned for a moment. After a moment, when he reacted, his expression suddenly changed. He took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Minato, but Minato dodged it.

Minato also knew something about this Dark Ninja.

Although he loves and trusts everyone in Konoha, he also knows that there are some people in Konoha who need to be wary.

Danzo is one of the people he needs to be wary of, especially now that his arm is injured.

Danzo didn't care at all about Minato hiding from him at this time. He was completely shocked by the meaning of what Minato just said.

"Tell me again, what happened to Li Yao?" Danzo stared at Minato intently.

"He should be a ninja who took Iwagakure's body now..." Minato told the entire story of the encounter and battle with Li Yao's Earth Escape clone, Shi Yan.

After hearing Li Yao's Earth Escape clone, Shi Yan, say to Minato that he hadn't seen him for a long time, Danzo was sure that Li Yao was right.

"That guy...is really not dead!"

Thinking that a few years ago, Li Yao's son was taken away by a mysterious Explosive Ninja in the root base, Danzo had some speculations at that time.

It's just that the strength displayed by the mysterious blast ninja at that time was so incredible that Danzo didn't even dare to chase him.

He believed that if Li Yao was really the secret explosive ninja and had that kind of terrifying strength, he would be fully capable of killing him and Hiruzen to take revenge on Konoha.

But the mysterious explosive ninja didn't do that.

In addition, there was a complete loss of news about the mysterious explosive ninja.

Over time, Danzo stopped paying attention to the speculation that Li Yao might not be dead but that he was the mysterious Explosive Release ninja.

I think Li Yao should be dead.

After all, Danzo has seen the power of Dust Release before, and no one can withstand the attack of Dust Release head-on without dying.

But now, after hearing the whole process of Namikaze Minato's encounter with the Iwagakure ninja, Danzo's suspicions were verified.

The mysterious explosive ninja back then was Li Yao.

Although I don’t know why Li Yao didn’t kill him or attack Konoha back then.

But the mysterious blast ninja attacked the three hidden villages of Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure. This was a naked act of revenge.

Who else had this intention if not Li Yao.

"Trouble!"

When he thought that Li Yao was not dead, and when he thought about the guesswork of Li Yao's abilities revealed when the Five Shadows surrounded and killed Li Yao, Danzo instantly felt paralyzed.

Chapter 469 Long time no see, Danzo-sama

When Li Yao came to Konoha, he took away not only his son, but also the sealing technique.

Danzo's heart trembled when he thought of Li Yao's powerful ninjutsu talent, which was like copying ninjutsu, and when he thought about the various forbidden techniques in the book of seals.

He didn't think that Li Yao couldn't learn the various ninjutsu recorded in the Seal Technique.

Especially the art of Flying Thunder God!

Danzo felt his whole body tremble at the thought of Li Yao learning the Flying Thunder God technique and combining it with that weird black sphere ninjutsu attack.

"Did he use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu?" Danzo quickly asked Minato to confirm.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Minato was confused when he heard this. He didn't know that the sealing technique was taken away.

After all, the Sealed Book has always been kept by the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage would not let anyone know that the Sealed Book had been taken away.

"Sir, are you saying that Li Yao may be able to fly the thunder god's technique?"

Minato reacted quickly and instantly understood who Danzo was talking about.

It's just that the art of flying thunder god is a ninjutsu in the book of seals. How could Li Yao do it?

"Tell me, did he ever use the Flying Thunder God Technique when he fought with you again?" Danzo's face became a bit ferocious. He wanted to make sure whether Li Yao could use the Flying Thunder God Technique. This was very important to his safety. important.

"No," Minato replied.

Then he guessed that Li Yao might have taken away the body of the Iwagakure ninja, and he didn't know the ninjutsu before.

At least in the battle with him, Li Yao had always used conventional ninjutsu. Except for the special combination ninjutsu, he did not use the ninjutsu that Li Yao should know according to the intelligence.

"No, he will definitely know the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Danzo's expression was gloomy, and he did not relax because of Minato's guess. On the contrary, he was even more certain that Li Yao could use the previous ninjutsu because he had not used it.

Including the Flying Thunder God Technique, it should also be possible.

"Then why is he useless?" Minato wondered. If Li Yao knew how to fly the Thunder God at that time, he would not be able to come back.

"You don't understand." Danzo shook his head and said, turned around to pack his things, and at the same time ordered the root ninja to pass on his orders and be alert immediately.

Danzo didn't know why Li Yao didn't use the Flying Thunder God, but he knew that Li Yao's initiative to expose his identity in front of Minato meant that Li Yao would take revenge on him, the Third Generation and Konoha.

It would be dangerous for him to stay here at this time.

Only by returning to Konoha and gathering the strength of the entire village can we fight against Li Yao.

"Danzo-sama, what are you..." Minato looked at Danzo packing his things, feeling a little confused.

"Minato, the fact that Li Yao is not dead is too important. I must go back and tell the third generation in person that the battlefield here will be left to you for the time being."

"what!"

Minato looked at Danzo, who looked like he had entrusted everything to him, and opened his mouth with shock on his face.

He understood that Li Yao's power made Danzo afraid.

But as the general commander in chief of a front, when Li Yao was probably on his way here, Danzo's first reaction was not to summon people from the headquarters to discuss countermeasures, but to run away immediately.

He also gave the position of commander-in-chief to a man who had never commanded a front-line battlefield experience.

"Danzo-sama...you...don't need to be so...so scared."

Forgive Minato for using the word "fear", he was also afraid of Li Yao's strength, but this was by no means a reason to leave his companions behind in fear.

"What do you know?"

"Just carry out the order!"

Danzo turned around and glared at Minato who didn't understand anything.

That guy Li Yao is a lunatic and inhumane.

If he guessed correctly, it was Li Yao who was responsible for the annihilation of Daming Mansion in the Kingdom of Water.

That kind of big explosion, who else but the mysterious Explosion Ninja could do it.

Danzo knew very well what he had done to Li Yao.

He also knew more clearly that Li Yao, who had disappeared for so many years, would now take the initiative to reveal his identity in front of Shuimen, which meant that he must have possessed unparalleled power.

Think again about the time when Li Yao silently passed through the layers of barriers at the root base and took away his son.

He also silently entered Hiruzen's secret room and took away the sealed book.

The ability to travel silently, coupled with the current flying thunder god technique, the invincible illusion technique, and the black sphere attack that penetrates everything, this does not include the combination of ninja that Minato said is comparable to the tailed beast jade. technique.

Forget about all kinds of incredibly powerful ninjutsu.

The key point is that Li Yao's chakra level is no worse than that of Orochimaru at the tailed beast level, and may even be more.

After all, Li Yao has had Wood Release Cells for many years, and with his Ninjutsu talent, he may be even more powerful now than the original.

You said that facing Li Yao like this, wouldn't he run away and hide, waiting to die?

Anyway, aren’t there people like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Konoha White Fang and Uchiha Fugaku?

Just let them fight. Danzo has to fight for the bright future of Konoha, and he can't die here.

Li Yao's appearance put a lot of pressure on Danzo.

Danzo quickly packed up his things, ignored Minato who looked disappointed, and walked directly past Minato, preparing to leave.

"Am I that terrible?"

Snapped!
