Chapter 139: Adding fuel to the fire and passing the knife

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen found Danzo in a rage.

"Hiruzen, what brings you here?"

Danzo half raised his head and looked at Hiruzen with his one eye, showing the aura of the Dark Ninja.

"Danzo, I should have told you not to interact too much with Hanzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed Danzo's desk.

The layout of the Root was very sophisticated. Danzo's office was located in the deepest part of the base, and the design of this office was not much different from the Hokage's office. Hiruzen turned a blind eye to this.

Danzo frowned. Was he discovered by Hiruzen?

That shouldn't be the case. Every time he communicated with Hanzo, it was basically in passing during the Root mission, and it was difficult to be discovered. Moreover, the Root ninjas were much more loyal to him than the Anbu. In the eyes of the Root ninjas, Danzo came first, and then Hokage.

And why did Hiruzen come here at this time? He hadn't had any contact with Hanzo in the past few days.

As soon as Danzo frowned, Hiruzen knew that his suspicions were correct. Danzo was indeed connected to Hanzo! Hiruzen knew what his childhood friend was going to say just by looking at him!

"Huruzen, contact with Hanzo is necessary. You are well aware of the strategic location of Rain Village. This will ensure that Konoha is always under surveillance of the Sand and Rock Ninja!"

"Without the Rain Ninja, Konoha's ninjas can no longer guarantee surveillance and ensure the smooth flow of intelligence, right? Danzo!"

"you!"

Danzo gritted his teeth. It’s like this again! It’s like this again!!

Sarutobi Hiruzen used Konoha to suppress him because he was the Hokage!

Such sophistry is like saying that you can’t eat without meat, and wouldn’t it be better to have meat!

"Huruzen, if I say it's necessary, then it's necessary. Don't be so unreasonable!"

"I'm being unreasonable! Danzo! Isn't the Root's power too great? You actually bypassed my permission to contact Hanzo. If Konoha suffers any loss, you and I will be sinners of Konoha!"

"Humph, no."

Danzo sneered.

"Hanzo's ambition has been lost. The Ninja World War dealt him a heavy blow. Now, this demigod has cowered in fear, becoming nothing more than a toy in my hands..."

"madness!"

Danzo was interrupted by Hiruzen before he could finish his extremely confident words.

"Hanzo is the head of a village after all. Even if he has lost his ambition, he is definitely not a fool. Once he becomes dependent on others, Hanzo can easily cause irreversible damage to Konoha's intelligence system. Danzo, you will not fail to think of this!"

"Hiruzen!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen repeatedly denied Danzo, which finally angered Shinobi Yami.

"I told you! Everything is under my control, even Hanzo! He's human! Everyone has weaknesses. Hanzo is no longer the demigod of the ninja world! And you! Hiruzen, you're no longer the ninja hero you once were!"

Gradually overshadowed by titles such as "the strongest third-generation Hokage" and "professor of ninjutsu", is Sarutobi Hiruzen's true name in his youth - Ninja Hero.

Hiruzen was stunned by Danzo's sudden standing up, and then he became more angry. He leaned forward and looked at Danzo's one eye.

"What about you, Danzo, the Darkness of Shinobi? Are you only capable of doing shady and shady things?"

You ride a horse!

Danzo wished he could stab Sarutobi Hiruzen to death with this blow, but couldn't stop scolding him, so he turned to attitude and value?

I made it clear when I established the Root. It is the Anbu among the Anbu, and its job is to assassinate and spy on intelligence. If the Root does not do shady things, will it go to the front battlefield to fight the enemy's ninjutsu?

As the dignified leader of the Root, do I have to personally blow myself up in exchange for my life with the enemy ninja?

Danzo knew that it was pointless to continue arguing with Hiruzen like this. They both had stubborn personalities, but they would compromise with each other.

For example, if Hiruzen personally went to the Root to cause trouble for him, no matter how fierce the quarrel was, Hiruzen was still the Hokage, and the Hokage's face was not only saved by Hiruzen, but also by Danzo. After leaving here, Danzo would definitely give some orders to the Root to restrain their actions.

For example, even if they had finished arguing today and calmed down, Danzo would still contact Hanzo again after a while, and Hiruzen would still turn a blind eye.

Danzo suppressed his anger. It was always like this every time. Damn it, damn Hokage, damn it, Hiruzen.

"Huruzen, I do not wish to continue arguing with you. It was you who gave me the power of the Root. You also know that I, Danzo, have devoted myself to the development of Konoha and have no second thoughts. If you are not satisfied, you can take this power back, or even prevent me from returning to Konoha's upper echelons in the first place."

Upon hearing that Danzo had put out the fire, Hiruzen immediately calmed down. He snorted lightly, took out his old pipe and took two puffs.

"Danzo, I have never denied your abilities, but the Root cannot be left untied and allowed to run wild."

Danzo looked at Hiruzen deeply, then pressed a button on the desk, and immediately a Root ninja stepped into the office.

"Lord Danzo."

"Tell the Hokage if the Root has any activities in Rain Village recently."

"Reporting to Lord Danzo, Lord Hokage, the Root has no recent activity missions in the Rain Village."

"Well, let's go."

Danzo raised his head and sat back in his chair. He was very satisfied that the Root ninja mentioned him first and then Hiruzen. He waved his hand and told the ninja to leave.

"Do you hear me, Hiruzen? It is necessary to keep in touch with Hanzo, but I always know my limits and won't do anything I'm not sure of."

"I saw it. I saw that the Root had become your one-man show. Here, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not as authoritative as Shimura Danzo."

Hiruzen's tone was quite calm, and no emotion could be heard, but the old face behind the smoke was full of sarcasm.

"Hmph, I am the leader of the Root. If even the Root doesn't obey my command, then how can I be worthy of this position? What do you think, Hiruzen?"

Danzo also secretly mocked Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Hiruzen didn't buy it at all.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

bang——

Danzo's table is reinforced because he takes photos frequently, so the material used is quite sturdy.

bang——

Hiruzen naturally can't be left behind, come on! I've been waiting for this! Go ahead and take a picture, this isn't my Hokage office!

The unpleasant but still pleasant argument ended quickly. Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly left the Root's base with his old pipe in his mouth, while Danzo had a gloomy look on his face.

"Mr. Kozang, you see, Hiruzen has never believed in me. He believes in my character, but not my ability. This cowardly guy, as if I would take away his position as Hokage!"

Gu Zang crawled out from Dan Zang's desk, his receptors buzzing, and he wanted to curse in his heart, "Can you two stop banging your head on the table?"

"The position of Hokage, Danzo? Actually, I always thought you did a better job than Hiruzen."

Seeing Danzo frown, Guzo continued.

"Huruzen is not a coward, but sitting in that position, he has to take into account everything, from the entire Konoha to the children in the ninja school. If it were you, the prestige of the Hokage would not be higher than Hiruzen's, but Konoha might be better off."

Danzo's brow relaxed.

"For a ruler, the most important thing is always to maintain his own rule."

Kozo watched the light flicker in Danzo's single eye, dazzling in the darkness of the Root's stronghold.

"If one day, Hiruzen goes against Tobirama's will... Danzo, he is your friend, it is up to you to decide what to do."

Passing the knife to fuel the fire is an ancient practice.
