Shimura Danzo is actually a good guy

Chapter 60 Ripped Face

A forest where sunlight is shaded by leaves.

"The reason why you want this position of Hokage, I am very clear and understandable."

"After all, the teacher's decision was indeed a bit hasty."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused at this point, his eyes became dark, the surrounding sunlight seemed to be completely blocked at this moment, and the shadows moved closer to the positions of the two of them little by little.

"But what you've been doing lately has gone too far."

Danzo has been pursuing the position of Hokage, just wanting to make up for his cowardice when he was young. Sarutobi knows this very well, so he can forgive many things about Danzo.

But not now.

"can."

Before Sarutobi finished speaking, Danzo agreed: "Genbu will be disbanded in a few days, and everything will be handed over to the people in Anbu. I don't want the position of elder. You don't need to notify me when you have meetings in the future."

His answer was very decisive, and his face was calm, so calm that Sarutobi was inexplicably flustered.

"you"

Sarutobi opened his mouth to ask something, but he didn't know how to ask it.

What the hell are you going to do?
He has asked this sentence too many times, but today's Danzo will not expose anything because of his sentence.

Sarutobi nodded to Shangdanzo's calm eyes, and took back what he wanted to say: "It's fine if you agree, and I don't want to ruin our friendship for so many years because of these things."

The shadows all around receded, and the sun once again shone on the land.

"elephant."

An Anbu ninja wearing an animal mask flashed out following Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the Anbe ninja and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of the newspaper."

"Yes."

The elephant nodded, and was ready to leave.

But at this moment, Danzo reached out to stop him, looked at Sarutobi calmly with his eyes and asked, "The newspaper? What does this mean?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and said to Danzo: "The newspaper office is an industry belonging to the root, so it will naturally be handed over to the people in Anbu."

"Who told you that the newspaper office is the root of the industry?" Danzo also knew what Sarutobi's purpose was. This old guy valued the control of speech that the newspaper office can bring, and wanted to grasp it in his hands.

Sarutobi restrained his smile, looked at Danzo and said calmly: "The newspaper office is run by your subordinates, so of course I have investigated this matter clearly."

"I founded everything in the newspaper, and the people at the root are just hired by me at my own expense, as guards to protect the newspaper." Danzo shook his head and explained.

"Are you talking nonsense? Danzo!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi glared, and his tone suddenly increased.

And following his words, the shadows around gathered here from all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Masked Anbu ninjas appeared around and surrounded them.

He had known for a long time that Danzo would not release the newspaper so easily.

Danzo sneered, glanced at the Anbu ninjas around him and said, "Is this Hokage?"

"Facing the heroes who returned from the war, in less than a day, you are planning to threaten me here and do something to me?"

"Is this the attitude you should have when facing the heroes who work so hard and sacrificed their lives for the village?"

No one in the surrounding Anbu answered, and no one wavered.

Those who can appear here today are all Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidantes, and there is no fluctuation in Danzo's words.

"It's all for Konoha!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said seriously.

"It's for Konoha! Or for you Sarutobi Hiruzen himself!" Danzo retorted mercilessly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned ugly after being directly stripped naked.

But he still restrained his inner impulse and didn't let people do it directly. After all, Danzo is now the hero of the whole village, and it is the best choice not to do it.

Sarutobi said seriously: "The newspaper office is not something you can control. Let the newspaper office be under the jurisdiction of Anbu, and you can enjoy your life in Konoha safely."

"Don't you want to be the principal of the ninja school?"

"As long as you can give the news to Anbu and disband the roots, you will be the principal of the ninja school!"

Sarutobi stood quietly opposite Danzo, waiting for his reply.

In fact, he didn't want to tear his face so directly, but what Danzo did had touched his bottom line.

Even if Danzo sends someone to assassinate him, he can forgive Danzo.

After all, Danzo didn't do it himself, he only dared to hide in the dark and make some small moves.

But now there is no doubt about Danzo's attitude. He wants to come from behind the scenes to the bright side, and he has succeeded.

He has experienced the power of the newspaper office in this period of time. In a short period of time, he only relies on a newspaper that is false and half true.

Danzo's reputation has been spread throughout the Fire Country, and Danzo's reputation has even faintly rivaled his momentum.

Doctor of Ninjutsu and Konoha Shinobu, these titles are all accumulated by him after so many years of hard work, and Danzo only relied on this newspaper to walk from behind the scenes to the front of the stage in this short period of time .

Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt a strong sense of crisis, and absolutely did not allow the newspaper to continue to exist in the hands of Danzo.

"Clap clap clap."

Danzo couldn't help clapping his hands, and said with a smile, "No way, Sarutobi, why have you become more and more naive recently, do you really think you've got me determined?"

"The headmaster of the ninja school, what a great job! You say it like I've earned it."

While laughing, Danzo mocked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Facing Danzo's recklessness, Sarutobi frowned, and moved his arm that had been healed by Anbu ninja.

Although it is a bit stiff, it does not affect the seal.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously: "Don't pretend, you are the only one here, and those ninjas at the root didn't come with you at all."

"Accept my terms, I don't want to be your enemy, Danzo."

Danzo nodded: "Indeed, I am the only one here."

Sarutobi was quite cautious, but unfortunately he miscalculated his own strength.

Danzo also didn't expect Hiruzaru Sarutobi to be so decisive, and immediately found an opportunity to ambush and threaten him as soon as he returned to the village.

If he knew, he wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to ruin Sarutobi Hito directly, but it's a pity he didn't know.

It is impossible to fight. Although Hiruzaru Sarutobi's physical function has declined due to aging, Danzo didn't want to entangle him with so many Anbu around him.

"Sarutobi."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Now you, can you sacrifice yourself for Konoha like the choice you made back then?"

Sarutobi was stunned, he understood the meaning of Danzo's words, but he didn't know how to answer.

Danzo just asked casually to confuse his attention.

The side effects of potential stimulation were too great, so he directly chose to sprint.

The moment he started sprinting, Danzo's speed reached the extreme.
