From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

So after thinking for a while, Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked the surrounding Anbu to evacuate first.

Of course, this is also because he is confident enough and feels that he is also very strong. Even if this guy from Wanshiwu suddenly gets into trouble, he won't be instantly killed right?

As long as he is given a little breathing time, he can summon the members of Anbu at any time to start a group fight.

Kakuzu waited for a while again, as if giving time for those Anbu members to evacuate.

After a while, Kakuzu said, "Not long ago, we at Manshiwu received a commission about you, Konoha." It means hands-on here.

Both of these are to better conceal his identity, and his low-key style.

To be honest, Kakuzu is a guy who rarely does useless work.

This time he came to Konoha with so-called 'goodwill', so he knew very well that there would be no conflict with Konoha this time, let alone kill anyone in Konoha.

Then once you do it yourself, it means leaving a living, and leaving a living is tantamount to leaking your information to a certain extent.

This is something Jiaojiao doesn't want to see, so he has already made up his mind, unless Konoha insists on making trouble for him, he will never do anything with anyone.

And once he makes a move, he will kill them all without mercy.

But looking at it now, Konoha's Anbe doesn't seem to be a reckless guy, embarrassing both parties who insist on doing it.

As soon as Kakuzu opened his mouth, Shinnosuke's heart tightened.

Wanshiwu received a commission about Konoha?

What kind of organization is this master house?

Speaking of it, their purpose is to do everything, as long as you give money, it will be no problem for him to help you with your homework, Wanshiwu.

But in fact, since Wanshiwu was very fierce when it first became famous, it has always been identified as a 'violent employment organization'.

Later, Jiaodu and Loquat Shizang also accepted employment in various countries, carried out some high-risk missions, and assassinated a large number of targets.

So even Wanshiwu also takes on other tasks, but most people hire Wanshiwu for nothing more than killing.

So Sarutobi Shinnosuke understood as soon as he heard it, that someone wanted to hire Wanshiwu to do things in Konoha.

"Your Excellency, please elaborate." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said.

"It is inconvenient for us to tell you who the employer is. To be honest, I have already violated the code of conduct of our house of everything by coming here today. If it weren't for the good relationship between our boss and you Konoha, I wouldn't have appeared here Here." Kakudo first gave Diarm a favorable impression.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke also confirmed in his heart that Diarmuid, who couldn't figure out the context, did have a certain kind of goodwill towards Konoha.

For example, he and Jiraiya-sama are friends, for example, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he rescued Kushina who was supposed to die, and for example... Kakashi said that he claimed to be good friends with Tsunade-sama .

Now that this situation has appeared again, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is indeed more certain about this matter in his heart.

Just when Sarutobi Shinnosuke was thinking about this, Kakuzu continued: "Someone entrusted us to assassinate the third Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzane, but this commission, we have already rejected the commission, but Diarmud thinks, Maybe the opponent will not let it go, considering that the Third Hokage and him are chess friends with similar interests, so I specially asked me to let you know."

Are Diarmuid and Sarutobi Hiruzen friends?

Obviously, no.

Are he and Shimura Danzo friends?

Obviously not.

Therefore, Diarmuid's current policy towards Konoha is all based on the perspective of interests.

Shimura Danzo wants to be Hokage, and Diarmuid will support him to a certain extent. This is to gain benefits from Shimura Danzo. manage.

Diarmuid will reveal the news to Sarutobi Hiruzen this time, which is actually driven by profit.

Because he knew very well that the old fellow Sarutobi Hiruza must have been guarding against Shimura Danzo.

Danzo's actions are bound to fail.

So since this is the case, Diarmuid will of course choose to stand on the side of the 'winner'.

Therefore, after finishing the conversation with Orochimaru and Danzo, Diarmuid directly arranged for Kakutsu to come over to 'report' to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This wave of operations does not yield any benefits at this stage.

But there is no doubt that this will definitely bring goodwill to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After that, Hiruzaru Sarutobi will continue to be in power in Konoha for more than ten years. If he and some of Konoha's high-level officials acquiesce to Diarmuid, they acquiesce that Master House is a pro-Konoha organization.

It is conceivable how many subsequent benefits there will be.

This is obviously a casual 'icing on the cake', but in Konoha's view, this kind of performance is definitely a 'send charcoal in the snow'.

Once Shimura Danzo's subsequent assassination of Sarutobi Hiruzen failed, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to admit that he owed Diarmuid a favor.

On the contrary, on Diarmuid's side, he just let Jiaodu pass on a message, and he didn't pay anything extra.

So this must be a very cost-effective behavior.

The only uncomfortable thing is Shimura Danzo, right?

Originally, he wanted to hire Master House to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Diarmuid directly refused.

Forget it, I'm afraid he didn't expect that Diarmuid was so unprofessional and sold him to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Jiao said something like 'it's inconvenient to say more about the identity of the employer'.

But at this point in time, there are not many suspects who would do this kind of thing 2.9.

In fact, that was indeed the case. As soon as Kakuto's words fell, Sarutobi Shinnosuke already had a suspect in his heart, and it was Shimura Danzo.

Although there is a saying that is illogical, it does have some truth.

That's 'if you can't find a suspect, suspect the one who makes the most money'.

If his father Hiruzaru Sarutobi is killed now, Shinnosuke Sarutobi can be sure that Shimura Danzo will find a way to sit in Hokage's place.

Therefore, Kakuto's "employer's identity is inconvenient to say more", in Sarutobi Shinnosuke's view, it is equivalent to the ID number of Danzo in Nianshi Village.

With a lot of thoughts, but the reality is only a moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly came back to his senses, and then said: "I see, this is indeed a very important thing for us Konoha, this time thank you and Wanshiwu." "It's nothing " Kakuzu waved his hand, and then said: "Dilmurd said that although friendship is friendship, the reward still has to be given." Sarutobi Shinnosuke? ? ?

Diarmuid is also very sure that he has never said so.

But although he was a little surprised, Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and said: "Naturally, please wait a moment, we, Konoha, will give you a satisfactory reward." Kakuzu nodded, feeling happy.

If he didn't think he could make a fortune from here, would he be worth a visit to Konoha himself for Diarmuid? .

Chapter 630 Sarutobi Hiruza is not easy.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly paid Kakutsu a satisfactory reward.

Kakuzu didn't delay at all, and left Konoha afterward.

At this time, in Hokage's office, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was listening to Shinnosuke Sarutobi's report.

"Someone wants to assassinate me?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at his son in a little surprise and asked.

But it's just a little surprised, and it seems that I already have the answer in my heart.

"Well, I think an organization like Wanshiwu would not make fun of this kind of thing." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said.

"All things house?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi murmured.

I don't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said: "Shinnosuke, tell me, is there also Orochimaru here... what does he mean?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Sir Sarutobi, you mean that Orochimaru also influenced that Diarmuid's thinking to a certain extent?" Zhan's son, but Shinnosuke has always called his father 'Three Daime-sama'.Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, and then said: "After all, he is my disciple, isn't he?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought for a while, then nodded and said: "There is such a possibility."

As soon as his words fell, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face showed a touch of relief, but it passed quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is undoubtedly a very emotional person. Although Orochimaru has defected to Konoha, he is the disciple brought out by him after all.

It's normal to think so now.

He felt that perhaps Diarmuid didn't care about this matter at first, which was interesting enough, and now he can send someone to remind him, maybe it was Orochimaru who made peace in it.

However, Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not continue to think about anything here, but said in a deep voice: "Master Sandaime, I think the news that Manshiwu sent us is still credible, even..."

12 "You want to say that Danzo is behind the scenes and wants to hire Wanshiwu to assassinate me, right?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Shinnosuke did not hesitate, and said directly: "I really think so. Judging from the current situation, although the war is over, all countries are still in the period of licking their wounds. Next, launching a new round of war against public opinion, and assassinating the shadow of a village has never been a tradition of a big country, and a small country does not have this kind of ability. I believe that if what Master House says is true, then the commission for this assassination is likely to come from within us."

The ninja world is now generally in a mood of 'war weariness'. The continuous war has made the people of all countries reach the limit of their tolerance for war.

Therefore, even if the other big countries saw Konoha being harmed by the Nine-Tails, it would be impossible for them to start a war or anything.

Moreover, this kind of war does not come just as soon as it is said. It must have enough preparation time and carry out large-scale arrangements and mobilizations before it can really start.

So basically, it can be ruled out that someone is preparing to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi for the purpose of war.

But apart from wars... no, it should be said that even including wars, the five major countries and the five major ninja villages, under normal circumstances, would not be able to assassinate the so-called 'shadows'.

Because this kind of method is too despicable, if it is done perfectly, it will be fine, if someone finds out something, it will definitely ruin people's reputation.

And it will inevitably bear the anger from Konoha.

Just like the daimyos of various countries will not assassinate other daimyos.

Under normal circumstances, the shadows of the villages would not have such thoughts.

Otherwise, the rules and order will all be chaotic. If you assassinate our Hokage of Konoha today, maybe Onoki will die on the street tomorrow. At that time, it will be time for everyone in Wukage to be in danger.

It is a small country, and it is very likely to take risks, but Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought over and over again, and finally felt that no country should have such a motive.

Therefore, in the end, he judged that this kind of thing came from within.

Moreover, the assassination of the shadow of a village, in fact, most of them also happened internally.

Because of external forces, it is difficult to obtain Hokage's whereabouts, and only the inner ghost has this opportunity.

"In Konoha's interior, there is currently only Shimura Danzo, with this motive and reason, because once he assassinates you, the third generation, judging from the current situation of the village, no one will be able to prevent him from becoming Hokage. , Coincidentally, becoming Hokage is his obsession, and, in my opinion, Danzo has always been an unscrupulous guy, so I have reason to suspect that he is the "employer" that Manshiya talks about." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent for a long time, and then said: "Danzo is indeed an ambitious guy, and he has been staring at the position of Hokage. In the early years, Master Nidaime did not choose him. At that time, I was somewhat puzzled. , because at that time, I thought that Danzo was not inferior to me, or even better than me. If he was Hokage, there should be no problem, but as time went by, the more I discovered, It turned out that I hadn’t seen him clearly. On the contrary, I had no choice but to resort to unscrupulous means. Therefore, I think that he must not be Hokage, otherwise Konoha, and even the Kingdom of Fire and the Five Great Nations, would all be brought into a dangerous situation by him. "People who are Hokage must be aboveboard, must be upright!

This is Sarutobi Hiruzen's view of Hokage.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Hokage can't be flexible and can't have conspiracies, but that when faced with a problem, he can't choose to use that sideways method to solve it immediately.

But in Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, Shimura Danzo is just a guy who likes to take a slanted edge and engage in dark things no matter what he does.

This kind of person is really not suitable for Hokage.

In other words, none of the shadows of the five great powers is such a guy who likes to plot and take risks, uses unscrupulous means, and has a despicable personality.

Is this a coincidence?

No, in fact, this is inevitable.

It is true that where there is light, there is shadow, but the one standing on the stage must be light.

It must also be light.

Take a look at what kind of tricks Danzo did when he became an agent of Hokage. He used Sharingan to control the Five Kage talks, and wanted to become the leader of the coalition forces in one fell swoop?

Is this the normal Hokage way of thinking?

It is because he is used to despicableness, conspiracy, and unscrupulous methods.

That's why he did this kind of thing.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen's worry is also correct. Danzo will definitely bring Konoha into a dangerous situation if he becomes Hokage.

At that time, if Sasuke Uchiha hadn't appeared to attract hatred, what Danzo did, I really don't know what to do with Konoha, and Sasuke just happened to kill Danzo.

So this matter is nothing.

Otherwise, the coalition forces will not be able to form, and the five major powers may have a civil war.

Uchiha Madara might be able to sit up from the coffin board with a smile.

Listening to Hiruzaru Sarutobi's evaluation of Danzo Shimura, Shinnosuke didn't speak.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a while, he continued: "This is the reason why I don't want him to be Hokage, but even so, I always think in my heart that I disagree with him because of political differences. It’s just unreasonable, and Konoha has never been a place of light. In this world, there is no place of light. Where there is light, there must be shadow. Hokage is light, and Danzo’s position is shadow. This is why I have always tolerated his existence. The reason, but..."

Speaking of this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, looked at his son and said, "Shinnosuke, do you think Danzo will really send someone to kill me?" Feelings, this is true for Orochimaru, and it is also true for Shimura Danzo.

Naturally, there are good and bad things about this kind of thing. The good thing is that because of his empathy, many people who have a good relationship with him and respect him are willing to go through fire and water for him, even if they die.

The bad thing is that his kindness often leads to worse results.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at his father, of course he also knew what kind of flaws his father had, no, it should not be said to be flaws, but a personality problem.

Is it wrong to be emotional?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said firmly: "Yes! Please don't hesitate, Mr. III."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed when he heard this, with a slightly lonely expression, then waved his hands and said, "I'm going to the Daimyo Mansion in the past few days, Shinnosuke, you Anbe, bring me the regulations and arrange the itinerary." Although he didn't say anything clearly, Sarutobi Shinnosuke knew that his father had already made a decision in his heart.
