Similarly, Danzo now has no choice but to go down this path.

He must defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen today and clear his name, otherwise, not to mention becoming Hokage, his name will appear on Konoha's traitor ninja bounty list the next day.

"Danzo... I stopped the experiment long ago. It was you who secretly disobeyed my orders and deceived Orochimaru into kidnapping and abducting the village's orphans for you..."

"That's what you agreed to! Don't say you didn't know!"

Danzo retorted mercilessly.

Not only did he recall what Sarutobi Hiruzen had said to him at that time—

"Wood Release is great. Konoha needs ninjas who can use Wood Release."

"What? The mortality rate is so high? Forget it, Danzo, let's not do Wood Release transplant research..."

Later, the experiment finally bore fruit.

"Danzo, leave the Wood Release Ninja to me!"

"Why are you asking? I told you not to research it. Look how many people you've killed for this Wood Release Ninja."

"Danzo, I've taken the person away. Please reflect on yourselves!"

"Tenzo, it's all because of that guy Danzo that you suffered. No one will bully you in my Anbu from now on."

Closing his eyes, Danzo could clearly see the extremely hypocritical Sarutobi Hiruzen that existed in his memory.

"You're talking about conspiracy theories. I had no idea you'd done so much without telling me..."

Although he did allow Danzo to do many things, some of them were not, and there were some...that was because they were beneficial to Konoha, so he allowed them!

But, no matter what, I can't...

You can't say these things openly in front of so many people!

He is also wholeheartedly concerned about the village. Doesn't he feel tormented by his conscience?

"Conspiracy theory? Then do you dare to say that he is not a Wood Release ninja?"

Danzo pointed at the Anbu following behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The other party happened to be Tenzo, the only one who succeeded in his root wood escape experiment!

"Now that you've taken all the fruits of your labor, you're still trying to pin all the blame on me? I know you're the leaf basking in the sun, and I'm the root buried deep underground, but the reason you can become the majestic and righteous Hokage is because I, a root willing to rot, bear the filth for you!"

Danzo became more and more excited as he spoke.

Thinking of the grievances he had suffered at the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen for so many years, he almost squeezed out a few tears.

"Of course, I could have endured all this, but you insisted on publicly fabricating charges against me, destroying the foundation I built with my own hands, and even imprisoning me without explanation in a prison where I will never see the light of day. You've gone too far, Monkey! This is why I have to stay here today..."

"shut up!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was terribly ugly.

If I had known this would happen, I would have sent a reliable ninja to look after Danzo.

Instead of letting the other party escape so easily.

It was all his fault that he hadn't thought that Danzo would actually disobey his Hokage's orders. In the past, Danzo would have obeyed him as long as he was a little more aggressive...

Damn it, Danzo should just keep admitting his guilt, why did he have to jump out?

Did someone change his mind, or...

Did I really overdo it before?

No, in order to stabilize Orochimaru and retain a fighting force like Uchiha Itachi, sacrificing Danzo is understandable.

Danzo is too ignorant!

"Stop talking nonsense in front of me and return to the prison now. I can reduce your crime if necessary! Danzo!"

"Everything I do is for Konoha. I am innocent! The guilty one is you, the arbiter. You are so stubborn and self-willed. You are trying to monopolize power and fame, and now Konoha is under attack from all sides! It's time for you to step down, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"Tianzang, tie up this nonsense guy and take him away!"

It turns out that he did this foolish thing just to get the position of Hokage...

Danzo, you are such a disappointment!

Sarutobi Hiruzen lost the last bit of patience he had for his old friend.

Now he just wanted to shut the other person's mouth and prevent him from speaking again.

"Yes!"

Wood Style: Tree Binding Technique!

Because he was his former boss, Tenzang just used ordinary binding ninjutsu.

"Now everyone has seen it, this is supposed to be my Wood Release!"

Danzo allowed Tenzo's Wood Release branches to tie up his entire body, just to show everyone here that the Anbu he had just pointed out was indeed the owner of Wood Release.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha is not yours to rule alone. Even in wartime, I will join forces with other Konoha advisors to initiate impeachment proceedings against you!"

"Take him down!"

After being messed up by Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen now just wants to get rid of him quickly.

"I don't need you, I can walk by myself!"

"!?"

Just when Tenzo was about to drag away the restrained Danzo, he found that there was no trace of the other party in his Wood Release.

It was as if it disappeared out of thin air.

It’s not a shadow clone, nor a substitute technique, what kind of ninjutsu is this?

"Humph!"

After seeing Danzo disappear so brazenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't help but slap the conference table in front of him in anger and smashed it to pieces.

Almost all the jonin present were shocked into silence.

But even if they don't say it, everyone has already removed all the previous beautiful filters from the Third Hokage who was once deeply loved by everyone.

"Ignore this raving lunatic. Let's discuss how to deal with the invasion of the Hidden Rock Village..."

After taking several deep breaths, Sarutobi Hiruzen managed to regain a bit of composure, then with a gloomy face began to arrange for everyone to go to the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire to fight against the Iwagakure Village.

"That happened?"

The Uchiha Kage met Kurenai Yuhi on the way to the prison cell.

The other party was telling him in detail about the news she had seen at the Jonin Conference. The female ninja repeated almost everything that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo said without omission.

"It turns out that the Third Hokage wasn't being controlled by anyone. He was... not a good person to begin with."

When talking about Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kurenai was enthusiastic and excited.

Good news, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not brainwashed and controlled by the Sharingan.

Bad news, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't seem to be a good person either.

"Kage, you should leave Anbu as soon as possible. This kind of Hokage is not worthy of you..."

After talking about the "encounter" at the Jonin Conference, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but start to worry.

He was worried about the future of the village and the future of the Uchiha Kage.

"Teacher, we are just ninjas. We don't need to think so much. By the way, regarding the war, what task did the Hokage assign to you?"

Being so emotional, it seems Xi Ri Hong will not ask about Samui for a while.

Uchiha Kage didn't bother to explain.

"For now, I'm still in logistics, but I'm responsible for logistics on the front lines."

Thinking of the war, Xihi Kurenai couldn't help but sigh.

During the Third World War, although she had not yet graduated from the Ninja School, she served as a reserve and witnessed many situations on the battlefield.

And today, it is the Land of Grass, and the invasion of the Hidden Rock Village...

It's just a repeat of the past.

She was okay, but Kakashi and Gai…

One lost his teacher and companions in that battle, and the other lost his father.

I really don't know how they would feel when they revisit the old place.

"Also, Hinata, Shino, and Asuma's Team 10 are with me."

There is no way because we don't have enough troops to attack Sunagakure.

Almost all the ninjas in Konoha had to go to the front line, even the Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja School.

"Is that so? Then I will..."

Since Hinata and the others are going to the battlefield, he might as well use his real body instead of shadow clones this time.

However, just as Uchiha Kage was thinking about this——

"Vice-Captain, the Hokage has summoned you."

An Anbu ninja wearing Anbu uniform and a mask came nearby.

"understood."

After saying a brief goodbye to Kurenai Yuhi and dispelling her doubts with the excuse that 'Samui has been transferred to another cell with stricter security', the Uchiha Kage walked towards the Hokage Building.

Unexpectedly, after obtaining the "Future Notes", Danzo Shimura also became "brave".

How dare he treat Sarutobi Hiruzen like this? It's really...

Let him feel relieved.

"I'm sorry, Itachi..."

As soon as he entered the door, Uchiha Kage saw Sarutobi Hiruzen talking to Uchiha Itachi in the office.

Kakashi, who was still wrapped in bandages, was also there.

"No, I..."

When he saw the Uchiha Kage Queen walking in, Uchiha Itachi quickly stopped talking.

The main role of speaking was given to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Ying, you've come at the right time. I have a special task for you to do."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still the same as before in front of Uchiha Kage, with that kind and gentle smile on his face.

It was as if nothing that happened in the previous Jonin meeting had happened.

"These are special times. To strengthen the village's combat capabilities, we must recall the former undead... or heroic spirits, to fight against the invaders. So..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen went around in circles before informing the Uchiha Kage of the mission.

That is - to search everywhere for the bodies of strong men and bring them back to Konoha.

No matter whether it is from Konoha or other villages, as long as it is the body of a strong person, it can be brought back to Konoha, and the more the better.

"Yes."

It's actually this kind of mission...

Uchiha Kage couldn't help but think of the time when Kushina asked him to help resurrect Nohara Rin.

"But Hokage-sama, using a forbidden ninjutsu like Impure World Reincarnation... isn't it a bit..."

Kakashi, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but say something in opposition.

Because if he wanted to summon the dead strong men, his father, Hatake Sakumo, once known as the White Fang of Konoha, would definitely be the first to be summoned.
