Volume 1, Chapter 345 How can you say that you have never done anything detrimental to the village?
Every time Danzo does something weird, he has to clean up the mess.
It's like this every time, and the price paid is greater each time.
The Third Hokage, who could no longer bear it, slammed the table angrily, opened the window and jumped out.
He didn't want to go through the main gate today, he just wanted to find Danzo as soon as possible.
Ask him what he wants to do?
He would not be satisfied until Konoha was torn into pieces.
First it was Chitsuki, then Hatake Sakumo, so who’s next?
As the Third Hokage left.
An Anbu ninja hiding in the dark quietly left and went to inform Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.
Even a fool could see that the Third Hokage was very angry.
The Third Hokage was very angry, which meant that Danzo would be in trouble, so Danzo had made arrangements long ago.
Once the situation changes, the first people to notify the elders are Koharu Utane and En Mitokado.
“Old man???”
Tsunade, who had come to see the Third Hokage for something, noticed a figure jumping out from the window near the Hokage's office in the Hokage's office building.
When did the old man learn the habit of jumping out of the window instead of going through the door? Was he influenced by Jiraiya?
But the old man didn't look very well.
Watching the Third Hokage disappear into the distance, Tsunade thought she could investigate.
So she calmly came to the Hokage's office building and walked into the Hokage's office.
The Anbu ninja hiding in the dark did not dare to stop Tsunade's actions and could only pretend not to see them.
At most, we can report to the Third Hokage afterwards and that's it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he was so angry that he jumped out of the window."
Tsunade opened the retirement application on the table and understood the whole story.
If we consider Hatake Sakumo's retirement application and the previous public opinion attacks, we can get the result.
In this regard, Tsunade can only say that it is her own fault.
You have always been biased towards Danzo and tolerated his inhumanity. Now you know how powerful I am.
He curled his lips and threw the documents he brought on the table.
Tsunade did not intend to interfere in these matters. Since it was caused by Danzo and Orochimaru, let the Third Hokage deal with it himself.
"Remember to remind the old man that the documents were sent by me, and he needs to review and stamp them as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
After receiving the response from the Anbu ninja, Tsunade left without looking back.
The fact that she had looked through the application form was not important at all. Let alone an application, even if Tsunade had taken out the sealing scroll and carried it around the streets, the Third Hokage would not have said anything.
How did Sarutobi get here?
Having been warned a few days ago, Danzo has not done anything out of the ordinary these days, or even anything at all.
He didn't know why the Third Hokage came to see him.
He looks like he's in a bad mood.
"Danzo!!!"
Before he could speak, the Third Hokage loudly questioned:
"What do you want to do? Do you want Konoha to be torn apart?"
The Anbu ninja who was secretly following the Third Hokage shuddered when he heard this.
If possible, he wanted to turn around and leave, and come back after the Third Hokage and Danzo had finished their talk.
It's a pity that he can't leave because it is his duty to protect the Third Hokage.
"Sarutobi, what do you mean?"
After being scolded all over, Danzo snorted and counterattacked unhappily:
"When have I ever done anything that would harm the interests of the village?"
"When have you ever done anything to harm the interests of the village?"
The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, he knew that Danzo would fight back, because passively enduring had never been Danzo's style.
But when you said this, Danzo, don’t you feel ashamed?
It hurts me just looking at it!!
The Third Hokage was so angry that he laughed, and his fingers pointing at Danzo were shaking.
"You have never done anything to harm the interests of the village?"
"Do you need me to give you an example?"
"Do you need me to gather everyone to a meeting to criticize?"
“That’s enough!!”
"What do you want to say?"
"What do I want to say?"
The Third Hokage became more and more excited as he spoke:
“I also want to ask you what you want to do!
What happened to the previous public opinion?
I have never interfered in your cooperation with Orochimaru, but what about you?
It’s fine if they just innocently excluded Hatake Sakumo, but they even resorted to public opinion.”
This time Danzo didn't fight back stubbornly, because he had done all those things and it was difficult for him to refute since he was in the wrong.
Otherwise it would only make the Third Hokage angrier and angrier.
"Hiruzen, what happened that makes you so angry?"
Upon hearing the news, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En put down what they were doing and rushed over immediately.
Did you do something to make Hiruzen angry again?
Uta-ne Koharu looked at Danzo, whose old face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I didn't do anything!!"
You didn't do anything?
Why did the Third Hokage bother you?
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En didn't believe that the Third Hokage was the kind of person who would cause trouble for Danzo for no reason.
This matter is definitely related to Danzo.
But figuring out what happened is the most important thing.
Mitomon En spoke up and said:
"Hiruzen, don't be angry yet. Did Danzo do something to make you angry?"
Only after knowing the whole story can they persuade the Third Hokage and decide whether or not to get involved.
"Don't you know what he did?"
The Third Hokage said angrily:
“I won’t talk about rejection, but I can understand Orochimaru wanting to be a candidate for Hokage.
I know what your purpose is, Danzo, but why are you using public opinion to attack Hatake Sakumo?"
"public opinion?"
Hasn’t the issue of public opinion been put to rest?
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were a little confused as to why the quarrel started again.
"Now Hatake Sakumo's retirement application has been sent to the Hokage's office. He is determined to retire and live an ordinary life. He wants to be a qualified father and accompany Kakashi's growth."
“........”
Oh shit!
Are you so decisive?
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were a little confused. Was this still the same Hatake Sakumo they knew?
Not to mention the two of them, Danzo himself was a little confused.
It was right for him to exclude Hatake Sakumo, and it was also right for him to use public opinion to attack Hatake Sakumo. Everything was done to ensure that Orochimaru could successfully become a candidate for Hokage, and preferably the only one.
Rejection and attack do not mean that he wants Hatake Sakumo to retire.
He is a great general of Konoha. Once he really retires, it will be troublesome if you want Hatake Sakumo to do anything in the future.
At that time, Hatake Sakumo could refuse at any time.
It's difficult for you to order him around.
"Huruzen, don't be angry yet. Maybe Hatake Sakumo was just hot-headed for a moment. Let's wait until he calms down before discussing this matter. What do you think?"
"calm?"
"How do I calm down?"
The Third Hokage pointed at Danzo, his expression gritting his teeth:
"The war between our village and the Mist Village is still going on. Even Orochimaru can't end the war in a short time. The Sand Village has also become somewhat restless. If the Sand Village starts an attack at this time, who will stop it?"
The Sand Village is beginning to stir, and the Third Hokage is not talking nonsense.
But there is evidence.
Konoha sent a lot of people to conduct targeted investigations and collect intelligence. Because of the high war reparations, life in the Sand Village was very difficult, the development of the village stagnated, and there were many complaints in the village.
They couldn't wait to wipe out this huge amount of war reparations.
And the best way to wipe out the war reparations is to declare war on Konoha.
They've already started a fight, and there's no point in paying compensation.
It would be fine if it was just the instability within the Sand Village, but since the war between Konoha and the Mist Village broke out, the Third Kazekage, who had been searching everywhere for precious minerals, also returned to the Sand Village, forcing the Third Hokage to take this matter seriously.
What if the Third Kazekage declared war on Konoha again? The thought of this result made the Third Hokage's scalp tingle.
Fighting a war on two fronts is no fun.
No matter how strong Konoha is, it cannot withstand the burden of fighting on two fronts.
What the Third Hokage didn't know was that Konoha would be facing threats from not just two directions, but four directions!
