Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The two sides of the war have been in chaos.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the clues in this matter at a glance. It should be an official document sent by Danzo, with strong personal emotions, to punish several small countries.

However, Nara Shikashin and Mito Kado En were afraid that they would be persuaded by Danzo to start a war, so they rewrote a piece of intelligence and came up with two bad ideas to test their attitudes while expressing their attitudes.

However, this behavior is not advisable. If you want to strike firmly, how can you underestimate yourself? I am not a warmonger. It has only been 10 years since the truce.

The most important thing is that if they re-copy the document, will they conceal information?

Not now, will they in the future?

In fact, it was also Sarutobi Hiruzen's own fault. No one had fooled him in this aspect for so many years, so today he did not check the seals and signatures on the scroll.

That's why he didn't realize that the information was copied.

-----------------

The capital of the Iron Country, the Five Kage Building, has become a building after so many years of expansion.

The top floor of the building is where the Five Kage meet, and the next floor is where representatives of various countries meet. There are 6 floors below, one floor for each of the five major ninja villages, and the first floor is the Iron Country Daimyo Mansion, which is also responsible for reception.

At the beginning, except for the Iron Country, the other floors were decided by drawing lots. Konoha drew the third floor, Sand Village the fourth floor, Mist Village the fifth floor, Kumo Village the sixth floor, and Iwagakure the second floor.

The Five Kage Building, a floor dedicated to Konoha, is the office of the Hokage, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Shimura Danzo.

There was a knock on the door, and Danzo put down the pen in his hand and said, "Come in."

A Konoha ninja came in with a scroll, handed it over with both hands and said, "Master Danzo, this is the reply from the village."

Shimura Danzo took it and waved his hand. After the Konoha ninja went out, Danzo carefully checked the seal, sealing technique, etc. of the scroll.

After confirming that it was correct, he opened the scroll with a seal. After flipping through it, his face was very ugly, because the village did not support him and showed the decision of the overlord of the ninja world.

Danzo felt that Konoha, as the largest ninja village in the ninja world, should take the initiative to stand up at this time to maintain the majesty of the Five Shadows Federation, so as to deter the other four major ninja villages and the ninja forces of various small countries.

These small countries, with a little strength, don't know the height of the sky and the earth, and want to be on the same level as the five major hidden villages, or even want to be on par with Konoha.

Don't you even look at what level you want to be on the same level as the five major hidden villages.

They should be taught a good lesson.

In the end, the village disagreed. Was his teammate getting old and confused?

Danzo felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have the same drive as before, and now he was worried about this and that.

No wonder he wanted to abdicate and replace Orochimaru with him. Isn't it because young people are not so driven?

But I, Danzo, am also driven. Why do you treat me like this? I have been involved in village decision-making since the second generation (just participated), and I was basically the second person in Konoha when I was the third generation.

Where can I find someone like me who has both experience and drive?

They didn't push me to be the Hokage, but pushed Orochimaru, a young boy. Are you kidding?

The more I think about it, the angrier I feel. Since the past few years, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been sending me to the Iron Kingdom because the Five Kage Association is very important.

What's most annoying is that since last year, he has been trying to get Orochimaru to take over the affairs of the village, but I, a dignified Second Kage, was sent to the Iron Kingdom, a place like that, and I have to argue with other hidden villages about trivial matters every day.

My lips are worn out, but I have no credit.

Whenever there is something, you call me wherever there is a shortage of people. I can handle everything properly.

When you, Hiruzen, became Hokage, did I help you? Without me, Shimura Danzo, could you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, become Hokage?

"Bang" the pen holder on the desk was thrown out, and Shimura Danzo covered his face and gasped.

When you, Hiruzen, set up the Five Kage Association, did I help you? Without me, Shimura Danzo, would you have done things so smoothly?

"Clatter" all the documents on the desk were pushed to the ground.

When you and the daimyo set up the Fire Trade Company, did I negotiate with you? Without me, Shimura Danzo, would the village get so much share?

When the Fire Trade Company had problems, did I investigate again? Although there were some twists and turns, the work was still completed. Without me, Shimura Danzo, who would dare to open the lid of the Fire Trade Company?

After the restructuring is completed, go and discuss the matter of the Fire Trade Company with the Daimyo, is it not the old man, Konoha?

The second Kage went to make peace with the daimyo? He also helped the village get several years of share.

Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always been supervised by me?

Can't you see all these Hiruzen?

Now that you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, have secured your position, you tear down this bridge of mine? Send me to the Iron Country to retire?

"Bang, bang, boom" everything in Danzo's office was in a mess.

Danzo screamed madly in his heart, accusing himself of Hiruzen's injustice to him.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Danzo's voice, he would probably spit out blood.

The concept of the Five Kage Association was proposed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Akimichi Tofu and others went as guards.

How did it become the credit of you, Shimura Danzo? What credit did you have? Did you become a guard? Or did you become a background board?

When Sarutobi Hiruzen came here, he didn't know anyone and had no one to use. What could he do? Did he have to pinch his nose and use it?

There was also the discussion of the establishment of the Fire Trade Company in the Daimyo Prefecture. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen needed a tough-minded black-faced man who looked down on the nobles to test the bottom line and take the blame.

This matter didn't have to be done by you, Danzo? If you didn't do it, there was Mito Kado En to do it, and if you don't believe it, there was Akimichi Tofu.

Let's talk about the Fire Trade Company's embezzlement of village property. Didn't you, Danzo, hesitate to protect your Shimura family?

Besides, going to the Daimyo Prefecture to repair the relationship was the exposure of the nobles' plan. The Daimyo was already guilty, so anyone could be sent.

Sending someone with a higher level showed respect for the Daimyo. As for the share of the shares in those years, the Daimyo and the nobles would not dare not give it.

Later, in the years after the reform, you, Danzo, relied on your status as the second shadow to make decisions on the work of other departments, which seriously affected the work of other departments. That's why you, Danzo, were sent to the Iron Kingdom.

This is the difference between people. People like Danzo only consider things from their own perspective and cannot feel what others have done for him. He only sees his own merits and thinks that everything he has handled is his merits.

He has never been wrong. It is for Konoha, and it is the fault of others.

Maybe this is why Sarutobi Hiruzen does not want him to be Hokage. When such a person ascends to a high position, he only sees himself and cannot tolerate others.

Out of friendship with old friends, it is good enough to let you be a deputy shadow to satisfy your addiction.

You still want to do it for real.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just wants to say to Danzo: Not letting you be Hokage is also for Konoha.
