Konoha's barrier did not block Danzo's chakra, and Izawa Sugi entered Konoha very smoothly.

The overall atmosphere in Konoha Village changed towards relaxation.

Being a ninja is a profession that requires you to put your head on your belt. Although facing death is sad, if you survive, you will gain money, fame and status.

Although the aftermath of a great war still affects the village, the war is over, Konoha has a new Third-Kage Hokage, and is about to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Cloud and Rock Ninjas, so the surviving ninjas in Konoha Village are all happy from the bottom of their hearts.

In a great war, Konoha withstood the attacks of the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja and proved itself with its strength. The number of missions entrusted by all parties increased rapidly. It happened that the surviving ninjas in the village at this moment were all strong men who had experienced the test of the war, so it was natural for them to deal with these missions. Therefore, Konoha as a whole was thriving and prospering.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, the number of businesses increased dramatically, the sounds of hawking were everywhere, and the number of ordinary people coming and going also increased. Although the ninjas were in a hurry, their faces were full of confidence. Being in such a bustling and prosperous village, Izawa Sugi smiled naturally.

After feeling Izawa Sugi's presence and returning to the village, Danzo, who was working in the Hokage's small building, strolled to the sun terrace under the pretext of relaxing his muscles.

He leaned his hands on the balcony railing, overlooking the bustling village below, with a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about some serious problem.

All the Anbu on duty nearby held their breath, quietly guarding the Hokage's building and performing their duties.

Danzo asked Izawa Sugi in his heart: "Are you back?"

Izawa Sugi hid behind Danzo in the form of a heroic spirit and hummed lightly: "I have found out some information."

Izawa Sugi deleted the news about Uchiha Madara's possibility of killing Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and only talked about the movements of the Kumogaku Ninja. He also mentioned at the right time that Kinkaku and Ginkaku's bodies were missing. Finally, he said that the specific situation was all written into a report, and in view of the presence of Anbu around, it was not convenient for him to take it out, and he could take a closer look when Danzo returned home in the evening.

Danzo listened attentively. He was first shocked by Izawa Sugi's investigative ability, and then when he heard Izawa Sugi say that he had written a report, he strangely felt a sense of care and relief in his heart.

In fact, before Izawa Sugi came back, Danzo knew the candidate for the Third Raikage of the Kumogakure, but he heard it from Sarutobi Hiruzen at an internal meeting. The investigators were the ANBU, and the reports submitted by the ANBU were naturally given directly to the Hokage, so Danzo did not know the specific details.

Now that Izawa Sugi's report has completed this point, Danzo is happy and a sense of enlightenment arises in his heart.

He needs to have his own power.

Danzo was very happy and said in a very gentle tone, "Thank you for your hard work."

Izawa Sugi took it up openly: "It is indeed quite troublesome. I need to avoid the Kumogakure and Konoha's Anbu, and also be careful not to be seen by stray ninjas and intelligence agents from other forces."

After a pause, he naturally put forward his request.

"Can you give me an identity so I can wander around Konoha? I haven't been summoned for a long time. I'm very interested in the current world. Konoha Village is so lively, and there are more businesses than in the towns outside. I want to taste some delicious food."

Danzo hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I have something for you to do."

Izawa Sugi raised his eyebrows. No way, is Danzo still an invisible office worker?

Ize Shan asked tentatively: "What is it?"

Danzo said in a deep voice: "Help me keep an eye on Hiruzen."

Izawa Sugi was stunned: "The Third Hokage?"

It turns out that during the time when Izawa Sugi was on the battlefield investigating intelligence, Danzo was also not idle.

As a contemporary and teammate of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo can be said to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's natural helper and ally. Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Third Hokage, Danzo has naturally become the Third Hokage's secretary.

Then Danzo found that the current situation in Konoha Village was a bit delicate.

Konoha is a village founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans. The Uchiha clan has lost the qualification to compete for the position of Hokage due to Uchiha Madara. The faction that governs the village is naturally the Senju clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is a disciple of Senju Tobirama and is considered a member of the Senju clan.

Theoretically speaking, the Senju clan and the ninja clans surrounding the Senju clan, such as the Hyuga, Inoshika-cho, Inuzuka and other small clans are all the power of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But it's not that simple.

As long as Tobirama Senju is still alive, Sarutobi Hiruzen can indeed mobilize a large clan like the Senju to serve his own purposes.

But it is precisely because of the presence of Senju Tobirama that the Senju clan seems to be obedient and not heedful.

Those ninjas gathered around the Senju clan would not really listen to Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders. They would first look at the attitude of the Senju clan.

No matter what orders Sarutobi Hiruzen gave, he had to reach a consensus with Senju Tobirama before doing anything.

As the saying goes, there is no two suns in the sky. With the retired emperor Senju Tobirama around, can the new emperor Sarutobi Hiruzen govern according to his own ideas?

Izawa Sugi remained silent, but a hint of mockery flashed across his hooded face.

His previous action of saving Senju Tobirama was his instinct. It would have been fine if he hadn't met him, but since Senju Tobirama summoned him and he happened to meet him, Izawa Sugi naturally would not stand by and watch him die.

Now it seems that saving Senju Tobirama also created an unexpected situation: both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were suppressed by Senju Tobirama and could not do whatever they wanted.

Senju Tobirama is still alive. With him, what kind of future will Konoha have? How will Sarutobi Hiruzen face such a disastrous start to his career as a Hokage? What kind of changes will happen to the fate of the Uchiha clan?

Izawa Sugi wanted to know.

"In the previous meeting, Hiruzen actually hinted that he wanted to deduct the Senju family's future material allocation quota."

Danzo had no idea what Izawa Sugi was thinking, as he was still talking about his discoveries during this period.

Izawa Sugi was surprised: "The Second Hokage is still alive!"

Even if you want to cut off Thousand Hands, there's no need to be so anxious, right?

Hmm? Wait, based on his understanding of Senju Tobirama, could it be that...

"Yes, the teacher is still alive. Although we all know that we should weaken the influence of the family on the village, what Ri Zan did is really..."

Danzo said in a tone of "Hiruzen has gone too far", but a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Before the meeting was over, the elder who represented the Senju family slammed the door and walked out. I think the teacher must be very angry at Rizan's behavior of crossing the river and destroying the bridge."

"You know, if the teacher hadn't chosen him to be the Hokage, who would have been the Hokage?"

Danzo thought this was a good opportunity to tell the teacher about his mistake, so he asked Izawa Sugi to keep an eye on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Keep an eye on Ri Zan. If you can find out what he's planning, report it to me immediately!"

Izawa Sugi frowned: "The Third Hokage has Anbu guards around him, and he himself is also a master. I can't keep an eye on him all the time."

Even though Izawa Sugi is unrivaled in the world in terms of concealing his aura, given Danzo's current level of an elite jonin and his hard power, he cannot guarantee that he can hide his tracks perfectly.

Danzo was confident: "It doesn't matter. His whereabouts and meetings in the Hokage Building are transparent. You don't need to follow him. After becoming Hokage, he moved out of the Sarutobi family and lived alone in the house next to the Hokage Building. You just need to help me watch who enters his house, and if he goes out, you just tell me where he went."

This request was not high, and Izawa Sugi agreed.

Although Danzo is an evil capitalist, Izawa Sugi still starts to slack off while working.

Since we're going to follow him, what kind of person can follow the Third Hokage without attracting attention?

Brain dead fan.

The Third Hokage always has admirers. Izawa Sugi shook himself and used the transformation technique to become a child of the Shimura family. Every time the Third Hokage appeared, they would come over and flatter him.

Even though the Third Hokage felt that Izawa Sugi's aura was a little familiar (Danzo's aura), he didn't care. Instead, he thought it was a teammate's child. Although he didn't have any impression of him, he had probably seen him before.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just become Hokage and was very ambitious. He was very happy every time he saw his little admirer. He would even touch Izawa Sugi's head, give him some encouragement, and even ask the Anbu to buy Izawa Sugi some candied haws.

Ize Sugi looked at the other children who had gathered around him, all of whom were smiling with admiration and joy, and thought to himself, Danzo, you deserved to lose.

Izawa Sugi also openly played pinball and stupid ninja games with other kids on the street. Except when the Senju family and Uzumaki Mito came to look for the Third Hokage, Izawa Sugi would carefully avoid them. Most of the time, this surveillance mission was still very easy.

That evening, Izawa Sugi was playing rock-paper-scissors with a runny-nosed kid. While playing, he noticed that Sarutobi Hiruzen had left the Hokage Building and was heading towards the training ground.

Izawa Shan played two rounds with the child and then switched to another game: Hide and Seek.

Then, Izawa Sugi strolled to the training ground with what could be described as poor tracking skills.

The Anbu stayed around the training grounds, and when they saw the fake kid Izawa Sugi first looked around, and after not finding the Third Hokage, he showed a look of disappointment and turned away in frustration.

Seeing this scene, most of the Anbu smiled knowingly and no longer paid attention to Izawa Sugi.

And Izawa Sugi quickly used the clone technique, and one of his clones went back to continue hiding from the cat. The main body strolled around the training ground and quickly locked onto the direction in which Sarutobi Hiruzen disappeared.

Izawa Sugi carefully followed.

It was a relatively dangerous training ground, surrounded by barbed wire.

Izawa Sugi entered the training ground and found the mission target, Sarutobi Hiruzen, near the edge.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was half-kneeling in front of a child, that was Senju Tobirama.

If Tobirama Senju's chakra had not been sealed, Izawa Sugi would never dare to get close to him, but who made Tobirama Senju a baby without any chakra to use now?

Izawa Sugimoto contacted Danzo without hesitation, and then approached carefully.

When Danzo heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen had privately met with Senju Tobirama, he was horrified: "Did he secretly go to the teacher to admit his mistake first? Damn, Hiruzen is so cunning!"

He also wants to collect specific plans so that he can complain to the teacher!

"Quick, let's synchronize our vision! Let me see how Suncutter is going to extricate himself!"

Izawa Sugi held the opposite opinion, but he had no intention of correcting Danzo, he simply strengthened the Heroic Spirit Contract connection, allowing Danzo to see the scene he was currently seeing.

The voice of Senju Tobirama came on the wind.

"As expected, many families still hold on to old-fashioned ideas. Monkey, this is a good opportunity to see who supports you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was filled with guilt: "It's my incompetence to trouble the teacher to worry about me."

Senju Tobirama's cute little face was full of relief.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have done the best you can do. I really did not make the wrong choice."

"You can distribute the Senju's share as you wish. Try to give it to those who support you. This will help you establish your prestige."

Izawa Sugi thought to himself, I knew it would be like this!

The master and disciple pair, Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi, are putting on a show to fool all the people in Konoha Village!

But the next second, a strong feeling of anger and jealousy surged into Izawa Sugi's heart.

Danzo's voice was twisted and sharp: "Why? Hiruzen is already the Hokage, and the teacher is still helping him like this?!"

If Hiruzen is always in the teacher's eyes, how can I become Hokage?

Izawa Sugi: Oh!

The author has something to say: With Sugihara around, Danzo won't be able to become Hokage this time.
