Hiruzen Sarutobi did not stop Danzo from leaving, he only looked meaningfully at the departing back of his old friend and then withdrew his gaze.

He must have gained insight into something, as the light flowing in his pupils also became obscure.

But after all, he did not speak at this time. All he did was pick up the cigarette rod placed on the table and light the tobacco placed inside, and then took a hard puff, as if he wanted to use it to soothe his heart. mood.

"Hiruzen, do you really want to hand Danzo over to the Iron Kingdom?"

"The action against Tang Country is the result of our discussions together.

Don’t blame him alone.”

"This situation occurred entirely because we did not collect enough intelligence about Tang Country."

"Besides, Danzo has put all his strength into this operation."

"It would be too chilling to hand it over directly to the Iron Kingdom."

Xiaochunyu broke the silence when he went to bed and spoke seriously.

This wave of unsolved events made her a little confused, but she knew one thing clearly: Konoha cannot live without Danzo, and Hiruzen cannot live without Danzo.

They need such a person to carry and execute the dark side of Konoha.

However, such a voice did not receive an immediate response. The white-haired old man was still smoking dry cigarettes, and he did not know whether he heard the words here.

"Hiruzen!"

Regarding the attitude of my old friend, Xiaochun obviously couldn't agree with it and couldn't be satisfied.

Another urgent deep cry expressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Hiruzhan, we really need you to give us an attitude."

Mito Menyan also added in a timely manner.

This is not only to solve the matter, but also to get an explanation.

If even a person like Danzo, who has silently made great contributions to Konoha, has to be abandoned, then who will be abandoned next time?

They have been partners since the Second Ninja War!!

When two urgent and hot gazes fell on him, it would be impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to remain silent.

"Daming Mansion needs an answer."

He stated his position firmly.

What I really don’t understand is that even Shimura Danzo himself didn’t show any resistance, so why can’t these two people clearly see that they have a strong relationship?

But after a pause, he continued:

"Once you lose the support of the Daming Palace, do you think Konoha can continue to operate on its own for a long time?"

"The purchase of various ninja tools, the training of ninjas, the expenses on the border,

The salary of the auxiliary ninja, the pension of those who died in the line of duty,

Daily maintenance of facilities, all of these require huge funds to operate.”

"Do you think we can offset this huge consumption just by relying on our ninjas to carry out missions?"

"and,

Who do you think is the biggest employer in Konoha?"

"It's the Daming Mansion of the Country of Fire, as well as all the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the territory!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also angry because he didn't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt were before he became a family member.

Sitting in this position, what he has to consider is the operation and future of the entire village, not just one person!!

"Think of Sunagakure Village in neighboring countries."

"Why do you think they chose this stage and time to hold the Chuunin Joint Examination with us?"

"Is it a spur of the moment?"

"It's to let the great names of the Kingdom of Wind see their own strength!"

"Do you know how many commissions we have received in recent years from the Country of Wind next door? Sunagakure's interests are constantly being cut, as are the subsidies from the Daming Mansion of the Country of Wind."

"That's why they can't wait to pass this joint examination to prove their strength!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, hating the fact that iron was not made of steel.

If one's own side disgraces the face of the Fire Nation's daimyo due to temporary self-interest and temporary lack of cooperation, then the consequences that follow are completely conceivable.

After all, Konoha is just a huge mercenary army.

The one who truly controls the wealth of the entire Fire Nation is the Fire Nation Daming Mansion!

Under the Sandaime's unabashed confession, it would be too inappropriate for the two advisors to say anything that would anger the public.

"Then, you can't just watch Danzo being escorted to the Kingdom of Iron!"

"You know how important Danzo is to Konoha, especially Konoha now."

"What's more, the threat of Uchiha Ara has not been eliminated yet."

After going to bed, Koharu's tone had obviously weakened, but he still wanted to save Danzo.

"I said, I will protect Danzo, but I need time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen responded in a deep voice, he was also very confused now,

All the bad things happened one after another in an instant, making it impossible to be as calm as before.

And in this incident, the man from the Kingdom of Iron directly bypassed Konoha and went to criticize the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire. This can already illustrate the seriousness of the incident. It is simply impossible to fool him casually.

things.

What's more, it directly caused the death of thousands of warriors, and we had no way to make excuses!

Because the Iron Kingdom is not like Kumogakure, who has always had friction with itself and hates the ninja village, but a samurai who has always remained neutral and behaved rigidly.

Once this matter is not handled well, it will be a trivial matter for the Iron Kingdom to send a signal of hostility to itself. What is really worrying is the decline in the reputation of Konoha and Konoha ninjas!

This is a matter of vital importance to the development of Konoha and must be handled with caution.

"Besides, he might have already made up his mind."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly put down the cigarette rod in his hand.

He must be the one who knows Danzo best among the four, so he can find a clue in the other person's cold eyes.

That guy would never want to be controlled by others.

therefore.........

"Okay, you guys go back and rest first. I will handle this matter with Danzo."

After calming down, he began to drive away the guests.

The night was supposed to be long, but due to the entanglement of many things, the sky began to shine.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I am destined to have no sleep tonight,

I will give an answer to Yunyin Village tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood couldn't stop falling.

Today was probably the most painful night for him since the night of the Nine Tails.

"Well, then you should go to bed early."

Mito Menyan stopped and wanted to say something more, so he went to sleep with Koharu.

He obviously knew that the person who was suffering the most tonight was not them, nor Danzo Shimura who was at the forefront, but Hiruzen as the Hokage.

There are too many things that the other party has to consider. If you are not careful, then problems will arise not just for one person, but for the whole of Konoha.

As he said this, he didn't expect to get a response from the former, so he motioned for Xiaochun to go to bed and leave with him.

However, when the entire Hokage's office became quiet again, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not sit down at his desk to deal with matters, but looked out the window, and that direction was the location of the village gate.

.........

.........

'Shimura Danzo?'

'It's so late, where is that guy going?'

When Ara returned from Yu no Kuni, he immediately received reports from the free-range bugs.

Of course, there are very few insects living freely in the village, and they only target a few important people in the village.

After all, the ninjas of the Aburame clan are not only a group of very powerful insect controllers, but also a group of guys who love insects very much. If any clues about them are discovered, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.

In addition, Shisui's other Mangekyō Sharingan was still on the guy, so he didn't let the bugs follow the old fox too much.

But since that guy chose to travel late at night, he had to take the opportunity to give some feedback in order to be reciprocal.

After thinking about it, Ara directly activated [Dingjing Shisui] and walked unimpeded towards the opponent's stronghold inside Konoha.
