No matter how indifferent Danzo will be in the future, at least he is still a high-quality leek with a red heart towards Tobirama Senju, who is determined to become the pillar of the village.
Izawa Sugi followed Danzo for the time being.
He also found out the current situation through Danzo. Konoha Village still had a new Hokage. Senju Tobirama was announced dead to the public, but he actually went home to enjoy his retirement life.
"Although Hiruzen has become Hokage, the teacher is still here. As long as I can get the teacher's recognition, I can become Hokage."
Danzo thought so.
Izawa Sugi was too lazy to correct Danzo's perception, or rather, the Senju Tobirama in Danzo's perception was wrong.
When talking about Tobirama Senju, most people would think that he was a person of high status and power. He was the second-in-command of the Senju clan, the second Hokage of Konoha, and assisted his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, in defeating the Uchiha clan and establishing the Konoha Village. He also improved many of the village's institutions and rules and regulations. He was a rare strong man and leader in the troubled times.
But in Izawa Sugi's view, Senju Tobirama is a passionate and cheerful laboratory research enthusiast who occasionally deliberately plays tricks, but is generally honest with others.
If Tobirama Senju had not been born in a turbulent time but lived in a peaceful era, he would probably have stayed in the laboratory studying mathematics, physics and chemistry every day.
Senju Tobirama is first and foremost the younger brother of his elder brother Senju Hashirama, then the assistant of the Senju clan leader, and finally the second Hokage of Konoha Village.
He spent his entire life helping his brother realize his wishes. Even after his brother Hashirama Senju died, he still did his best to build the Konoha Village left behind by his brother.
For such a Tobirama Senju, what kind of Hokage is in his mind?
Of course it’s Senju Hashirama!
——If you, Danzo, want to be Hokage, why don’t you learn from Hashirama Senju? Instead, you put on a stern face every day and try to imitate Tobirama Senju. There’s no way that Tobirama Senju will choose you!
Izawa Sugi complained in his heart, but he said with a look of helping to analyze the situation: "According to what you said before, your partner Sarutobi Hiruzen has already become the Hokage and is currently meeting the Daimyo. So as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is not in trouble, it will be impossible for you to take the position in a short time."
Danzo was not worried about this.
"Being a ninja is not a long-term career. I can wait."
Not to mention that the average life expectancy of ninjas in the Warring States Period was only 30 years old. Currently, Konoha Village has already replaced the Third Hokage. Danzo thinks that at this rate, he may be able to take the position in another five or six years.
By then he was only in his early thirties, still at the prime age for a ninja, enough to suppress the newly rising young ninjas.
The corners of Ize Shan's mouth twitched after hearing this.
Yes, as everyone knows, ninjas will not have a good death and will die at the hands of others sooner or later. It just so happened that your generation had unexpectedly long lives. The third generation plus two advisors and Danzo all lived to be over 70 years old, and the two advisors were even heading towards the 90-year-old mark. It's awesome.
But no one would believe this if he told them, and Danzo himself didn't believe he could live that long.
Izawa Sugi had no interest in trying to persuade Danzo, so he said, "Since you have a plan in mind, I will just follow your instructions. Call me if you need anything."
Danzo asked Izawa Sugi, "How far away from me can you go? Or do you have to stay by my side?"
Ize Shan: "It doesn't matter how far away you are. As long as you call my name, I can appear beside you in an instant no matter where I am. However, this move consumes more chakra, which is a bit like fixed-point teleportation."
Danzo became interested: "What about sending messages? Summoning beasts can send messages through summoning, can you do that?"
Izawa Sugi: "Not at this moment. My ability is calculated based on your strength."
It is indeed possible for the Heroic Spirit and the Lord of Protection to use magic to transmit messages to each other, but that is because there is indeed a magic contract between the two, and the dream-making elf created by Merlin actually has no binding force on the two, so the relationship is not close.
Danzo hesitated for a moment and said, "Is that so? Can you use the transformation technique?"
"Yes, I know all the skills you know." It's not difficult anyway.
"Very good, then you will disguise yourself as an Anbu of Konoha and go to investigate the area where the teacher fought with Kinkaku and Ginkaku."
Ize Shan was stunned: "What are you investigating? It's been so long, all traces must have disappeared, right?"
Danzo said coldly, "Teacher's sword fell on the battlefield, and it may have been picked up by the Cloud Ninja. Also, the news we have received is that Kinkaku and Ginkaku are dead. I am very curious about how they died. I also want to know the movements of the Cloud Ninja. The Second Raikage went back to quell the rebellion, and there is no follow-up news yet."
Izawa Sugi became interested after hearing this. He was also very curious about what would happen next with the Kumogakure. As for the sword of Senju Tobirama, he curled his lips. He had asked for it once when he went to the Kumogakure, so he decided to forget about it this time.
Anyway, it's Senju Tobirama who is embarrassed, huh.
Danzo: "You are using my chakra. Theoretically, you can freely enter and exit Konoha's barrier. After you have finished your investigation, you can come back to Konoha to find me according to the contract. Is that ok?"
Ize Shan: "No problem, I'll go now."
Here, after meeting the daimyo, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the daimyo's letter of authorization and returned to Konoha with Danzo and other Konoha companions.
Izawa Sugi sets out from the capital of the Land of Fire and heads to the front line where Konoha and the Cloud Ninja had previously confronted each other.
Izawa Sugi had been marked with the Flying Thunder God mark on the battlefield, but now he was temporarily unable to use Flying Thunder God—the evil Merlin had banned this ability on the grounds that Danzo was not strong enough—so he could only hurry on foot.
However, Izawa Sugi just couldn't use Flying Thunder God, but he had no problem sensing the mark. He kept adjusting his direction according to the position of the mark, and it took him about three days to reach the area where Konoha and the Cloud Ninja had fought a mess.
Izawa Sugi wore a disaster-stricken mask on his face, used transformation techniques to disguise himself as an Anbu member from Konoha who came to investigate, and then put on a black cloak before carefully entering the forest.
As a child of the forest, Ize Shan can feel the murderous and silent atmosphere emanating from this forest. Apparently, many of his colleagues have visited here before.
Ize Shan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and drew a symbol on a big tree.
This is the resonance of magic symbols. Although many of his abilities are restricted, skills such as drawing runes, which do not require chakra at all and can be used with materials, cannot be banned.
The natural energy in the air slowly gathered around the symbol. After Ize Shan summoned the energy of fairy arts, he drew a second formation on the tree.
Izawa Sugi took advantage here, because the last time he was summoned by Senju Tobirama, he had a replacement bandage on his hand that was stained with Senju Tobirama's blood.
Using the blood on the bandage as a guide, Izawa Sugi drew a blood-guiding formation, a trick used by family ninjas in the Warring States Period to find the corpses of their own clansmen.
Ize Sugi followed the guidance of the formation and found all the locations where Tobirama Senju fought with Kinkaku and Ginkaku and was injured.
He investigated them one by one.
Izawa Shan's patience and investigative ability were terrifying. He spent half a month and basically confirmed several things.
First of all, the blood and flesh that fell from Senju Tobirama were completely taken away. The kunai with Flying Thunder God left by Senju Tobirama was also gone. As for the saber? It must have been taken away by the Kumo Ninja.
Secondly, the Second Raikage did die in the rebellion of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and the Cloud Ninja is indeed purging the rebel forces, and it seems that the person leading the team is the future Third Raikage.
However, there was no strong person among the Cloud Ninja who could kill someone who mastered the magical weapons left by the Six Paths Sage, and Kinkaku and Ginkaku did not die at the hands of the Cloud Ninja.
Last but not least, the Six Paths Sage treasures inherited within the Cloud Ninja were all recovered by the Ninja Village, but Izawa Sugi used various means to track and investigate, and confirmed that the bodies of Kinkaku and Ginkaku were not in the hands of the Cloud Ninja.
The corpse of a ninja is a valuable treasure, think of Reincarnation!
In other words, a strong man who appeared out of nowhere killed Kinkaku and Ginkaku in seconds, and threw the Six Paths Sage's magic weapon back to the Cloud Ninja.
Who is so awesome?
At the moment when Izawa Sugi was confused, a person appeared in his mind.
Uchiha Madara.
Yes, this Lord Uchiha Madara who rebelled against Konoha Village is still alive and well!
Izawa Sugi hung his head and thought, if Uchiha Madara received the news that Hashirama Senju's younger brother Tobirama Senju was dead, would he be curious about how Tobirama Senju died?
Can.
Uchiha Madara checked again, oh? It was the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers of the Kumo Ninja who killed Senju Tobirama? Would Uchiha Madara come out to see what kind of people these two brothers are?
You are so good.
If Uchiha Madara ran out with the Sharingan to destroy the bodies and all traces, and with the help of Black Zetsu, he could indeed do it without anyone noticing and without leaving a trace.
Ize Shan felt that the matter was a bit tricky and didn't dare to continue investigating.
He is now using Danzo's template, and his strength is severely reduced. If he encounters Uchiha Madara, he will be dead. As for encountering Black Zetsu, he must set up a sealing array in advance to have a chance of fighting.
So the matter came full circle and returned to the point of "we need to urge Danzo to improve his strength as soon as possible, he needs to make progress."
Izawa Sugi sighed heavily. He was too lazy to think about how to deal with Uchiha Madara.
Not to mention that Uchiha Madara had long been a close and reliable elder in his heart, just the fact that he was only at the level of a small Danzo now made him no match for Uchiha Madara.
Izawa Sugi thought unscrupulously, if the sky falls, his second uncle will hold it up, and his uncle Senju Tobirama is still alive, isn't this something he should consider?
To be honest, if it weren't for hiding his identity, Izawa Sugi would especially want to tell this to Senju Tobirama and ask, "Second uncle, how do you feel about being avenged by Uchiha Madara?"
Izawa Sugi enjoyed the look of Senju Tobirama who was so angry that he jumped to his feet, then happily cleared away all traces of his presence and explored in the direction of the Cloud Ninja's retreat.
After confirming that the Third Raikage would take office next month, Izawa Sugi fabricated an investigation report and sneaked to Konoha at the speed of a tourist.
The author has something to say: The original work did not say at whose hands Gold Horn and Silver Horn died.
But these two brothers had the power of the Nine-Tails and the magic weapon of the Six Paths Sage, and they killed the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage. In the end, the coup failed and they died. Counting the strong men at that time, it seems that only Uchiha Madara had the leisure to collect the heads, so there is something wrong here.
