actually.
Sandai completely misunderstood the meaning of sleeping with Koharu.
He thought that Koharu asked him to pay attention to Danzo when he went to bed. What was wrong with Danzo was that Danzo wanted to become Hokage.
But actually he doesn't know...
After returning to bed, Koharu discovered from the perspective of a medical ninja that Danzo's vital signs were not quite right!
Such a completely wrong understanding of information.
It is destined that the third generation will be in a passive situation when this important position of Hokage is replaced.
"what should we do?"
Nara Shikaku stared at the third generation and asked in confusion. When he saw such a thing, he could already see that there was something strange in the ninja at the root.
"Are you going to stop it?"
"still… "
"Just wait and see what happens?"
Nara Shikaku is a smart man, but he still has a strong ability to brainstorm, but after what happened to Qingyu, he no longer blindly believes in his brainwashing ability like before.
As a consultant to the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.
Nara Shikaku still knows a lot about roots. Although he has not been a staff officer for a long time, he needs to know a lot of things if he wants to secure his position as a staff officer. He knows a lot about roots.
This organization is an underground organization in Konoha Village.
The root ninjas are essentially ANBU ninjas, but they are ANBU that only belong to Danzo personally and are not included in the ANBU system.
to be honest…
In Nara Shikaku's view, this is an uncontrolled ANBU organization!
The existence of such an organization in Konoha Village is tantamount to a time bomb that may explode at any time, which is a completely unstable factor.
certainly.
Nara Shikaku also knows that this is a double-edged sword. Although it will hurt the Leaf Village, for the third generation, the benefit is still greater than the harm!
only…
Based on past records.
Documentation only.
Because Nara Shikaku has not been a staff officer for too long, the information he can grasp is all in the records. He has never experienced anything that is not recorded. In the past, he did not have as high achievements as he does now. So he doesn't know that clearly.
So outside of the records, he wasn't completely sure whether something like this happened...
According to what he learned about the records, the scope of the tasks performed by the ninjas at the base was limited to Konoha Village. What these root ninjas wanted to solve were things that the higher-ups of Konoha Village could not deal with. It could be said that they represented A stain on the Leaf Village.
Nara Shikaku, as the adviser of Konoha Village, has entered the political circle of Konoha Village, and he is also a member of the Nara clan of Konoha Village. He belongs to the Ino Shikacho family behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he is deeply valued by three generations. and trust, so there are still many things that can be known.
People who have entered the political circle understand that there is no right or wrong, no justice or darkness, there is just where the butt is.
The one who wins is righteous and the one who wins is right. The one who wins can enjoy the admiration of everyone openly and stand on the highest point of morality.
The one who loses will be blamed for everything!
There are many things that have to be done in Konoha Village. For example, a certain ninja has been saying things to slander the Third Generation. It would be fine if they were made out of nothing, but what he said is still true. However, this person has no idea in his heart and does not listen to the advice at all. If you keep announcing such things to the outside world, then one day you will suddenly lose your mind and choose to commit suicide by drowning in the river.
Such things are not uncommon, but in the eyes of many people, they do not associate such things with the third generation. After all, the image of the third generation in people's minds is so positive and bright, but Danzo's subordinates deal with such matters. of roots.
The function of the root is to do things that the top management of Konoha Village cannot take action head-on.
Maintain the dark justice in the village!
They can't solve the problem, but they can solve the problem!
However.
Now this time.
How could such a dark ninja group, which only obeyed Danzo's orders, suddenly leave Konoha Village together and go to perform some inexplicable tasks outside the village? How could this not make people suspicious
If a simple team of two root ninjas quietly left Konoha Village, they would not be easily discovered, but this time, there were too many people, and they just walked out from the main entrance. It’s not a matter of hiding it or not, it’s not a question of hiding it at all!
When Nara Shikaku saw this information about the root ninja, he had already begun to think about the purpose of these root ninjas.
Root ninjas are different from ordinary ninjas. After entering the root, they no longer have their own names. They only have code names that belong to them, and they have no life of their own. Even their lives do not belong to them. They are completely Some emotionless weapons carrying out a mission.
Such root ninjas will not act privately. All their actions have received corresponding orders, and there can only be one person who issues the order, and that is Shimura Danzo.
These root ninjas walked together outside the Leaf Village, but performed tasks related to the Leaf Village. It was not difficult for Nara Shikaku to notice their target, which was probably a ninja returning to the Leaf Village. Some people in the army.
This made Nara Shikaku immediately think of two names.
Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato.
This also made his keen mind realize a huge secret, and a huge coup might be about to happen in Konoha Village.
Things are about to change in Konoha Village.
Someone must be starting to want to become the new generation of Hokage in Konoha Village.
Even the people of Konoha Village felt that it was time for a change.
Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato are both popular favorites for the new generation of Hokage.
In particular, Namikaze Minato led the ninja army of Konoha Village to victory in the Third Ninja War. This reputation has spread back to the village, which is extremely exciting and inspiring.
After all, since the beginning of the Third Ninja War, people's lives have become boring and tasteless. They are in a state of worry every day. Everyone's life has become very depressed, especially some shops in the village. , the economy is depressed and extremely depressing.
The impact of war on people is still great!
Even these people who are sheltered in the village feel very uncomfortable. The impact of the war is not only on their lives and businesses, but also on their relatives and friends, including those they know in daily life with faces covered with scars. Smiling ninjas.
How many of those ninjas who went to the front line could come back
How many of the ninjas they are familiar with can come back
There is no way to get the answers to these little questions until they see the return of the ninja army!
War means death, and death brings pain!
Many of these ninjas going to the front line must be relatives and friends of the people in Konoha Village. Anything that happens to them is difficult for these people to accept. Even if they have done well, they may have to sacrifice their minds. Be prepared, who really wants to face such a scene
The people of Konoha Village have long expected the war to end and return to a time of peace, stable development, and a happy life.
In fact, what they want is that simple.
Now Minato Namikaze has brought back the carefree life that made them feel, which has made the village's voice for Minato Namikaze to become the new generation of Hokage very high.
This kind of thing threatened the third generation's position as Hokage. Nara Shikaku knew this very well, and he could also see that the third generation had no intention of quitting the position of Hokage now. This meant that the relationship between the third generation and Namikaze Minato A series of contradictions that are difficult to reconcile will arise.
As for Danzo Shimura…
It’s the same as Nara Shikaku’s previous judgment.
Shimura Danzo's move was not done under the benefit of the third generation, but his spontaneous behavior, which also shows that he also set his target on the position of Hokage.
Think of this.
Nara Shikaku immediately understood that he was now witnessing a three-party competition for the position of Hokage. Even if Hatake Sakumo was included, it would be a four-party competition for Hokage.
This phenomenon has never happened before, and it should never happen again in the future.
It is indeed very difficult for so many people to compete for the position of Hokage at the same time.
To this day.
If it were to happen again, there would be almost no possibility of such a coup that could affect the situation in Konoha Village.
After all, such conditions are still very demanding!
First of all, there needs to be a Hokage who is unwilling to leave. Secondly, there needs to be a deputy who guards the Hokage but also wants to be Hokage. Finally, there needs to be one or two heirs who can be recognized by the entire village.
Such conditions are difficult to achieve at the same time!
actually.
Now it is also a scene that is rare in Konoha Village for a century!
Such a scene made Nara Shikaku a little unsure of how to deal with it. After being trained by Qingyu, he understood that he had to think twice before doing anything, and that he could not act arbitrarily based solely on his own talent. Many times he knew that it was not necessary. Say it, and what he knows may not be entirely correct.
Nara Shikaku stared at the Third Generation with a slightly lowered gaze. He was waiting for the Third Generation to say the follow-up words. Now, no matter how much he knows and how many judgments he makes, he is just a staff member of Konoha Village. There are more things, especially When it comes to the position of Hokage, it is completely beyond his control. Even if he sees through it, he is just a boat swaying with the waves and cannot control his own destiny. It is like he saw a The wheels of history were rolling by, but he was unable to make any changes.
"Let's just pretend that Danzo's incident didn't happen!"
The third generation spoke his answer under Nara Shikaku's expectant eyes. His idea was very simple. If Danzo could solve these things, it would also avoid a lot of trouble for him.
Based on his understanding of Danzo, Danzo must take action.
But he still doesn't know what kind of means Danzo plans to use to solve this phenomenon that is dangerous to the position of Hokage.
but…
No matter what method is used, as long as it can resolve the immediate crisis, it will be very beneficial to him.
As long as there are no threats from Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato, it will be easier for him to deal with Danzo.
The third generation has many ways to deal with Danzo!
It can be said that it is a matter of course!
No one knows Danzo better than him!
The third generation can basically return Danzo to his original position, and continue to wait for him to take over when he wants to give up the position of Hokage.
Danzo is different from Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato. The former has always lived in the gloomy darkness and rarely shows his face in Konoha Village. What he does is completely shady, and he silently keeps a secret that he recognizes in his heart. The dark justice, but even he himself doesn't know that he is actually a gun in his hand, but this gun is still thinking about when to aim the muzzle at the third generation.
The problem now is this...
Danzo has no foundation in front of the people of Yu Muye Village. If he wants to become Hokage, he must succeed him as Hokage. Although they are in a relationship of mutual use, the third generation can have very clear control over this relationship. .
As for Namikaze Minato and Hatake Sakumo, these two people have a popular base, and ninjas will be more inclined to them in their hearts. Such people are more dangerous to the Third Generation than Danzo, and there is definitely a chance. The one who drove him from the position of Hokage.
This time he didn't make any unforgivable mistakes!
But as Hokage for so many years, the third generation understands that it is too cold to be in a high position. Standing in such a position, there is no way to guarantee that you will never make mistakes. Any little problem may be taken into account. In this way, it will be These people who want to become Hokage, have a popular base, and have prestige provide opportunities. Even if he still wants to sit on the position of Hokage, he may be coerced by these public opinions and the combination of other families, and let him Step down from the position of Hokage.
This will be something that makes him feel very helpless, and it is also beyond his control. There may be nothing he can do about it. After all, the previous incident with Hatake Sakumo has already made him feel a crisis in this matter. feel.
Now he doesn't want to make that mistake again.
But if Danzo can solve this problem perfectly, even if he assassinates Namikaze Minato in a very extreme way, he can put the blame on Danzo and eliminate Danzo in one fell swoop.
certainly.
This refers to solving Danzo...
It's not that Danzo is killed, but that Danzo completely loses the chance to become Hokage!
As long as Danzo is not qualified to succeed Hokage, then he can sit back and relax, and there is no problem in continuing to be the third Hokage for several decades!
