Master, please become the Hokage

"However, considering your contribution to Konoha, I think... the higher-ups may consider sparing your life..."

Sarutobi Ryo did not say that he would kill Danzo directly.

Because he has a lot of information in his head.

It's the same if you wait until you get the information before killing him.

Moreover, Sarutobi Ryo mentioned the top management, which means that he is not the only one who knows about it.

Danzo's affairs have already been known to others.

By the time Utane Koharu and Mitokado En find out about what happened, they will probably be busy distancing themselves from Danzo.

Of course, as two high-ranking figures who are close to Danzo all day long, their investigation... is inevitable.

As to whether Utane Koharu and Mitokado En had expected this, that is another matter.

Chapter 148. End

Hearing that he still had a chance to breathe, Danzo's thoughts of fighting to the death mostly disappeared.

Of course, he was a suspicious person and was afraid that Sarutobi Ryo would beat him to death.

But he waited for a moment, but Sarutobi Ryo didn't make a move...

So, I couldn't help but believe most of it.

Because with the strength this kid has shown, he can kill me at any time if he wants to.

then......

In such a stalemate.

Danzo waited for the sound of dense footsteps.

soon.

The two Hokages, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo, appeared on the scene with the Anbu.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were also there.

Minato Namikaze also appeared on the scene with a certain figure.

Senju Tobirama, temporarily wearing a cloak, disguised himself as an Anbu and blended into the crowd.

The last to arrive were Utane Koharu and Mitomon En.

Seeing Danzo defeated, Sarutobi Ryo stood proudly, and there were traces of fighting underground.

Everyone immediately understood what had happened.

Sarutobi Ryo...actually defeated Danzo?!

After removing the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, Sarutobi Ryo no longer needed to maintain it.

Now that everyone has arrived, things can be handled properly.

"Sarutobi Ryo, what are you doing?!" Utane Koharu was the first to speak, anxious and angry, which was very consistent with her personality.

"Elder Xiaochun..."

Sarutobi Ryo turned around and looked at everyone.

Facing faces with different expressions, Sarutobi Ryo began to tell the stories of the crimes committed by Danzo.

When Sarutobi Ryo mentioned that Danzo murdered his own people.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Because neither of them expected that Danzo would actually take action against Uchiha.

Using policies to suppress is fine...actually killing people is too risky...

That's right.

It's not that Utane Koharu and Mitomon En don't want to destroy the Uchiha.

However, if you take direct action, you will inevitably get a bad reputation and be used against others.

The best way, of course, is to follow the example of the second generation.

Cultivate an Uchiha and use Uchiha to fight Uchiha.

The best candidate is Uchiha Obito.

But......

Danzo was too impatient and actually caused such a thing.

Now he can't escape the charges.

"Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his long-time friend with a look of regret, seeing how he had fallen to this point.

Of course he knew that Danzo was carrying the darkness of the Nidaime-sama.

But no matter how dark it is, you shouldn't attack your fellow villagers.

Of course, if Sarutobi Hiruzen was still in power, he would definitely be soft-hearted and forgive Danzo, just like in the original work... when he let Orochimaru go.

But now times have changed.

The current Hokage is Hatake Sakumo.

So some things are not up to Sarutobi Hiruzen to decide.

Sarutobi Ryo finished telling the whole story.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En knew that Danzo's situation was hopeless.

Murdering a companion is a serious crime.

Even considering that Danzo had served the village for many years and made great contributions, the most he could do was to be exempted from the death penalty.

There is no escaping the punishment of life imprisonment.

What they were thinking was exactly what Sarutobi Ryo wanted to announce.

On the surface...capture Danzo first.

After a meaningless trial, Danzo was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Then, in private, pry open Danzo's head and obtain information.

Finally...kill Danzo once and for all.

Sarutobi Ryo, who had already made a plan, waved his hand and issued an arrest order.

The ANBU members stepped forward and arrested Danzo.

Dozens of Root Ninjas around were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

As pawns, the top management will naturally not make things difficult for them.

After all, they were just following Danzo's orders and were essentially working for Konoha.

The point is, after Danzo loses power, who will take over the responsibilities of the root...

"Master Liang, you even defeated Danzo-sama..."

Minato Namikaze remained calm on the surface, but was extremely shocked in his heart.

Because the improvement in Sarutobi Ryo's strength is really exaggerated.

I was completely unharmed, and Danzo was completely defeated. This is really...

"Who's the leader among you?"

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the dozens of Root ninjas.

The ninjas in the root are also divided into different levels, with different strengths.

There are naturally differences in positions depending on the level of strength.

Everyone looked at each other slowly... Soon, a young man with white hair was pushed out.

He looks slightly smaller than Kakashi, and since he is in the growth stage, he is not very tall.

Among all the tall and strong Root Ninjas, he is very special...

Tianzang...

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the other person and nodded.

"Very good. From today on, you will temporarily lead the people of Root and wait for your new boss..."

Sarutobi Ryo assigned a position to Tenzo.

Tian Zang, who was wearing a mask, nodded, and then stared at everyone as they gradually left...

Walk all the way.

The crowd was huge.

Everyone is thinking about different things.

Danzo will be taken back and his fate will be decided by the top leaders themselves.

So what follows is the trial of Danzo.

On the other hand, Sarutobi Ryo did not request a search of this place.

After all, as long as Danzo confesses, all the information will be available...that's what everyone thought.

Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama looked at each other.

The two were worried, but Sarutobi Ryo ordered a search and found some clues...

It seems now.

He paid no attention to the idea that Gen's lair might still be hiding some secrets.

"Tsunade, Sarutobi is amazing..."

Jiraiya and Tsunade whispered to each other.

He originally thought that his disciples Minato and Sarutobi Ryo could compete evenly.

Now it seems that is not the case at all.

Defeating and capturing Danzo without getting hurt... I'm afraid even he can't do it.

Could it be that Sarutobi Ryo's strength has surpassed the three ninjas?

Is that right?

"Hehe... seeing is believing... that's the truth."

Orochimaru, who witnessed everything with his own eyes, nodded, confirming Jiraiya's idea.

From this point of view, if Sarutobi Ryo were to compete for the fifth generation, his chances would probably be much higher.

but it does not matter.

Even if he couldn't compete with Sarutobi Ryo, once he obtained the method of immortality.

A few decades later, when Sarutobi Ryo grows old...

Orochimaru is very good at comforting himself.

This was his original intention.

It can't be that...Konoha will always be full of talented people.

One day it will be Orochimaru's turn to be Hokage.

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiraiya kept exclaiming in amazement.

Tsunade, on the other hand, was filled with depression.

Not long ago, she was...
