From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

"Yes, Lord III." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said.

"Well, let's go." Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand, but after a short pause, he added: "This matter is classified as a first-class secret." "Understood." Shinnosuke Sarutobi said.

After Sarutobi Shinnosuke left the Hokage office, Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyes tiredly.Then, he turned the seat and looked out the window behind him.

Scenes of the past seemed to emerge one by one in his eyes.

At that time, they were both 870 very young, and at that time, Danzo and him were still close partners.

Although he didn't want to believe that Danzo wanted to assassinate him ruthlessly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not that kind of naive guy after all, his inquiry was just for comfort.

But Sarutobi Shinnosuke ruthlessly broke his comfort.

And Hiruzaru Sarutobi knew very well in his heart that Danzo would do it.

"It's just that after this, how should I treat you? Danzo..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought helplessly.

The most trouble-free way is to kill Danzo directly, and it will be done once and for all.

But out of the consideration of Hokage's position, Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt that it is still necessary to keep Danzo.

It's like Diarmuid regards Danzo as an object to 'snap the pot'.

To put it a bit darker, the same is true for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He is indeed already gathering the power of the root organization, and has already tentatively proposed the idea of ​​abolishing and disbanding the root organization at high-level meetings.

But nothing came to fruition.

Similarly, as Hokage, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen only make the best plans?

Especially the Uchiha thing.

He and Uchiha Fugaku are working together, hoping to usher in a better future and a more harmonious future for both parties.

But...how could he, really don't think about it, once this kind of thing fails, once things turn into the worst state.

so what should I do now?

And Shimura Danzo is actually a knife he left behind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was never a simple character, he kept shouting about Danzo, disbanding the root organization and so on.

But in fact, until his death, the root organization was still a 'ghost', even though he had already disbanded the organization on the surface.

So this kind of lingering situation, doesn't he know?

He should know, he is Hokage after all, and after all, he knows Danzo very well.

Think of Shimura Danzo, who has been fighting Sarutobi Hiruzen from beginning to end, but until Sarutobi Hiruzen died unexpectedly in the hands of Orochimaru, did Danzo win Sarutobi Hiruzen even once?

Perhaps, from beginning to end, Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately kept Danzo, the only accident was that he did not expect that he would die in the hands of Orochimaru.

Otherwise, he should have cleaned up Danzo completely before he died. .

Chapter 631 Danzo: Kakashi, you are exactly the same as when I was young.

In front of Konoha's memorial tablet, Kakashi was standing here.

In the past, when he stood here, he seemed lonely, but now, he seemed to be even more lonely.

Just by taking a casual look, it was as if he could see the darkness that was swallowing him up in his heart.

It is also because of this that Uchiha Shisui and Sarutobi Shinnosuke would say that his mental state is not right and give him a holiday from Anbe.

Kakashi stood there, staring at the names on the memorial tablet, which included some new ones, which were ninjas who died protecting the village during the night of the nine tails.

Inside is his teacher, the Fourth Hokage.Namikaze Minato.

"Minato-sensei..." Kakashi murmured softly, with some pain in his eyes.

The Minato class that once entrusted all his feelings has completely disappeared now.

Lost in the path of life.

It is the portrayal of Kakashi now.

He didn't know, why did he come to this memorial monument?

Perhaps it was because, only by standing here, could he appear less lonely?

This Konoha is so big, but it seems that there is no need for him to exist.

Just as Kakashi was staring at the comfort monument in a daze, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Kakashi, who heard the movement, turned his head, and then his expression was slightly surprised.

"You... are called Kakashi?" A slightly gentle voice said.

And the owner of this voice is Shimura Danzo.

As a member of Anbu, Kakashi also participated in the performance meeting where Danzo could be said to be in a hurry because of the information obtained from Diarmuid, so he knew Danzo.

"It's me, Danzo-sama!" Kakashi quickly responded.

The reason he was surprised was because Shimura Danzo's image today was a bit strange.

He seems to be blind in one eye?

That's right, when Orochimaru came to see Danzo last time, Danzo was fine, but this time, one eye was tightly wrapped with a bandage.

It looked like he was seriously injured.

In fact, not long ago, Danzang had transplanted a Sangouyu Sharingan.

As for why he did this, no one knows for the time being.

Even Konoha no one knows that he transplanted Sharingan, the root tissue medical ninja who performed this operation for him has been wiped out.

"Are you coming to commemorate Konoha's hero too?" Shimura Danzo asked softly.

At this moment, he seemed to be just a kind elder, Kakashi glanced at Danzo's hand, sure enough, Danzo was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

It is to commemorate the dead.

This made Kakashi a little surprised. The number of times he came to comfort the memorial monument can be said to be the most in Konoha, but he has never seen Danzo appear here.

This is the first time he met Danzo.

But the bouquet in Danzo's hand...is really familiar.

A long time ago, he noticed that the same bouquet of flowers often appeared on the comfort monument, which was exactly the one in Danzo's hand.

Could it be that, without his knowledge, Danzo-sama still often visits the memorial tablet to visit the grave?

To be honest, this was a bit unexpected for Kakashi, because in his impression, Danzo was not such a person.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I don't know this Danzo-sama too well. The only impression I have of him is that he behaved a little strangely in that meeting.

That's right, although Kakashi is a jonin, his status in the village, at least for now, is nothing.

There are many things that he can't touch, and even he can know that there is such a person as Danzo, which is not bad.

If he doesn't understand what kind of person Danzo is, then he really doesn't understand.

After going through these thoughts in his mind, Kakashi's reaction was not slow, and he quickly said: "Yes". "

"Minato is a very good Hokage, and also our Konoha hero, just like my teacher." Shimura Danzo responded to Kakashi as if he was making a routine, then squatted down, and gently moved the A bouquet of flowers was placed next to the memorial monument.

"Master Danzo's teacher?" Kakashi glanced at Danzo Shimura with some doubts.

He also didn't know who Shimura Danzo's teacher was. No one had told him about these things, and he couldn't get in touch with him given his age and qualifications.

"Well, my teacher, like your teacher, died to protect the village." Shimura Danzo said.After a short pause, he continued: "Besides, they are all Hokage too." Kakashi was startled, looked at Shimura Danzo in surprise, and said, "Hokage?"

"Well, that was a long time ago. Not many people know me in the village now. Hehehe, I'm ashamed to say that my teacher is the second generation Hokage. Senju Higama-sama." Shimura Danzo laughed After a while, the look in his eyes seemed to be recalling the past.

Kakashi was really stunned at this time, he never expected that Shimura Danzo was still a disciple of the Second Hokage?

Due to the lack of understanding of Danzo, coupled with his own experience, it seems that there is some overlap with Danzo, and at this time, it happens to be the emptiest and most confused moment in Kakashi's heart. Danzo appears here at the comfort monument , coupled with the identity of the Second Hokage disciple, just for a moment, reversed some of Kakashi's previous bad impressions of Danzo.

Hmm... It's not appropriate to say that it's a reversal, after all Kakashi really doesn't know him very well.

It should be refreshed.

"Sorry, Danzo-sama, I didn't know that you were the second Hokage-sama's disciple before." Kakashi said with some shame.

"It doesn't matter, not many people know about things like this. Where I am and what I want to do, I must not be able to bear this halo. I am Konoha, a person who walks in the dark." Shimura Danzo Said with emotion.

"A person who walks in the dark?" Kakashi felt inexplicably emotional when he heard this.

"Well, for those who walk in the dark, while the fire illuminates the village, shadows and roots naturally grow underground." Shimura Danzo said.

In fact, this was an encounter carefully arranged by Danzo.

The purpose is Kakashi.

Of course, Danzo did often come to mourn his teacher when it was unknown.Between Thousand Hands.

He is a more complicated person. On the one hand, he will be dissatisfied with Senju Feima's choice of Sarutobi Hiruzen to take over Hokage's position, but on the other hand, he has inherited many of Senju Feima's ideas, such as Uchi waves or something.

So in his heart, he has complicated emotions towards his teacher, but in the final analysis, he still respects him very much.

The bouquet that Kakashi could often see in the past is indeed what Shimura Danzo has been doing for many years.

"You are exactly the same as when I was young." Shimura Danzo looked at Kakashi and said suddenly.

Kakashi froze for a moment, Danzo-sama, we both have different hair colors, okay?

But before Kakashi opened his mouth, Danzo continued: "Confusion, loss of faith and goals, loneliness and darkness, are swallowing you, right?" Kakashi froze for a moment, and looked at Shimura in surprise Danzo.

Many people have seen that he has mental problems, but Danzo's summary is the one that is most in place.

"Don't be so surprised, because I used to be like you, so I feel the same way." Shimura Danzo said.

Kakashi fell silent, was it the same as me?

Thinking of this, Kakashi suddenly looked up at Danzo Shimura and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later." Shimura Danzo murmured, but his tone was really emotional. He looked at the name on the memorial tablet, with a thousand hands, and with an inexplicable look in his eyes, he whispered: "Darkness wants to devoured me, so I in turn devoured the darkness."

Kakashi looked surprised and seemed a little puzzled.

Shimura Danzo, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze from looking at the name in Senshouban, looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, do you want to come to my side to do something?" Kakashi's eyes were full of hesitation, and then Said: "But, I belong to Teacher Minato..."

"The Fourth Hokage who invited you to Anbu is no longer here, so you don't belong anymore, Kakashi." Shimura Danzo said softly.no longer belong...

Yes, it was this feeling that made Kakashi lonely.

Just when Kakashi was a little uneasy, Danzo 'attacked' again.

"." You should also feel that many things are wrong, right? "Shimura Danzo said.

It seems to be intentional, when he said this, he didn't look at Kakashi, but stretched out his hand to touch the name in Senshouban.

Kakashi was a little puzzled, what's wrong?

what are you talking about?

"Kushina's childbirth is obviously Konoha's top secret. Even I don't know the date, but the guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara knows."

"Obviously you are also a jonin, and you have experienced the test of war. Why were you not allowed to go to support Minato during the night of the Kyuubi? Is it really because it is to arrange for you to maintain the order of Konoha? To keep an eye on Uchiha Is it?" "The fourth generation of masters once shocked the ninja world, I think no one knows his strength better than you, his disciple, right? Why did such a person die so easily?" Kakashi originally The bewildered eyes became more and more serious, and there was even a look of suspicion in the eyes.

The last two things are all justified.

But about the date of sister Kushina's delivery, Kakashi really felt puzzled, how did the masked man know the date?

As Danzo said, there are not many people who know this date, not even Shimura Danzo himself.

So who leaked it?

What is the purpose?

Kakashi was the first (Qian Zhao's) to rule out the 'correct answer', which was himself.

Because in his impression, he didn't tell any 'living people' about this matter.

He didn't think much about it at first, but being guided by Shimura Danzo, Kakashi's doubts in his heart were infinitely magnified.

"Maybe it's because I've been walking in the dark for too long. I always like to start from the worst angle when I look at things." Danzo said with a little emotion, then he looked at Kakashi, and then said softly: " I also hope that this is not his plan to regain the Hokage throne, but...the future of Konoha really cannot be handed over to this kind of person, right?"

After finishing speaking, Shimura Danzo stopped talking to Kakashido, turned around and walked away from the comfort monument.

Kakashi, on the other hand, looked at Shimura Danzo's back with deep eyes.

In Shimura Danzo's last sentence, he didn't mention his name, but Kakashi is not a fool, so he naturally understood who he was talking about.
