Chapter 51 The Third Generation and Danzo

On the other side, not long after the third generation's treatment ended, Danzo, who was sleeping, was awakened by the root members.

"Sir, there was an accident at the Hokage's place just now, and the medical team rushed there in the middle of the night."

"But the ANBU people are on alert and we can't get close, so we don't know the details."

"It's just that they were not mobilized according to the distribution of ANBU personnel. It should not be the reason for the attack."

Danzo listened to the report carefully, and when he heard that Sarutobi had let the medical team in in the middle of the night, his eyes suddenly turned strange. Could there be something wrong with Sarutobi's body?

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he said to the outside world: "I understand. Pay close attention to the situation over there. If you find anything, report it to me immediately."

"yes!"

The shadow outside the door disappeared instantly, and the members of the root merged into the darkness.

In the entire Konoha, either the Third Generation's eyes and ears are the eyes and ears of Danzo. It can be said that no movement in the village can escape the knowledge of these two people.

Danzo was stimulated by this news, and for a while he no longer felt sleepy.

He gently stroked Seal's right arm, which was full of resurrection coins, enough for him to wander.

He narrowed his one eye slightly, and his mind suddenly became active. He faced the direction of the third generation and murmured in his heart: "Old man, you are still old after all."

However, Danzo was also slightly confused as to what the third generation's physical condition was like. Normally, he had not heard any rumors.

"It seems necessary to go and see him tomorrow."

He stood up and opened the door, looking at the moonlight in the courtyard. If the third generation's health failed, he would contact the other two elders immediately. After all, he had been spying on the Hokage's position for a long time.

No!

That position should have been his!

Danzo's eyes were cold and his hands were clenched. He was still brooding over this matter for so many years and could not let it go.

…

The moon was setting and the crow was croaking, the next day's dawn came quietly, and something was gestating deep in the leaves of Konoha.

In the early morning, Konoha was not affected by what happened last night, and the people remained as they were.

The ninjas, on the other hand, had noticed something amiss, and there was a solemn atmosphere.

And all these reasons come from the old man sitting in the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building.

The third generation smoked dry cigarettes and gently tapped the ashes in his pipe. At his age, he had experienced too much and it was difficult for him to have major emotional fluctuations.

Yesterday's emotions can hardly be affected now. I just asked calmly: "Have you notified Danzo?"

Anbu said: "We have been notified, and Danzo-sama has also responded that he will be here soon."

The third generation nodded: "Well, please step back first!"

When the ANBU disappeared into the office, Sandai just kept smoking without any pause, which seemed to mean that his heart was not as calm as on the surface.

…

On the other side, the time is slightly earlier.

Danzo had already dressed up and was notified by his subordinates. The Third Generation summoned him to come over for discussion, and he agreed without even thinking about it.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he was meticulously groomed, and even the usual gloomy aura on Danzo's face disappeared.

It seemed that because I was in such a good mood, the long-term depression was all gone.

After all, it's not his fault, that is the position of Hokage that he has longed for, and when there is sudden good news, it is inevitable even for him.

"You can't wait to see me, Hiruzen. It seems that something is wrong with you, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

Danzo's understanding of the Third Generation was no less than the Third Generation's understanding of him. He also knew the color of his shit when it popped up.

If it weren't for his bad condition, it would be impossible to rush to see him and show that everything was fine.

"Let me see if there is something wrong with you or if there is nothing wrong with you."

Picking up the cane leaning on one side, Danzo walked outside with steady steps.

…

Time returned to the present, and with a gentle knock on the door, the third generation and Danzo looked at each other through a door.

"Hiruzhan, it's me!"

"come in!"

There was a crunching sound, and Danzo slowly walked into the Hokage's office, his eyes falling on the third generation.

The other party's slightly pale face made Danzo narrow his eyes slightly, and he could see at a glance that there was indeed something wrong with his body.

As usual, there were only the two of them in the office, and no one was prying, even the ANBU and the third generation allowed them to avoid it for the time being.

Danzo spoke slowly: "If you have anything you need to discuss with me, even if I am not the Hokage's assistant now, I can still make some contributions to the village."

Sandai didn't speak, he just smoked, looking at the burning tobacco in the pipe, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

He did not answer Danzo's question directly, but showed a look of reminiscence: "Duanzo, how long have we been together?"

Danzo was startled. The third generation's move suddenly made him a little confused. However, he also showed a hint of recollection: "It has been a long time. It has been so long that we are all old now."

The memory of the two old people did not last long. The third generation gently knocked the ashes and said quietly: "Then why didn't you tell me that the person who escaped was the rope tree..."

As soon as these words came out, Danzo's pupils shrank, then relaxed: "It seems you already know."

Regarding this matter, Danzo now has this arm and no longer cares about it. He just said: "I didn't expect that he could wake up. It really surprised me."

The third generation's eyes darkened, looking at Danzo who showed no regret at all, and took a deep breath: "I thought you would react more violently."

"fierce?"

Danzo showed a hint of disdain.

"On the contrary, I think you should react more violently."

The two of them were instantly at odds, and the atmosphere in the entire office changed instantly.

The momentum of two old men who have been in high positions for many years is so strong that ordinary people cannot bear it.

The third generation's anger had already erupted last night, and now it is terrifyingly calm: "Why are you doing this?"

"Why?"

Danzo chuckled and said without hesitation.

"Of course it's for the village!"

"The village should not lose the powerful power of the first generation. As a ninja of Konoha, even if you die, you should give it its due value and not be buried in the ground."

The third generation said quietly: "So you changed the corpse of the rope tree to conduct the experiment?"

Danzo did not deny it, but admitted it generously: "Yes, I think Naoki has the potential to inherit the power of the first generation, but he is dead, so I can only help him."

"It's a pity that even so, there has been no result and I was eventually abandoned."

"After so many years, his recovery surprised me, which shows that my efforts were not wasted..."

Click!

The cigarette rod in Sandai's hand was pinched off, which also interrupted Danzo's words, and the two fell into silence.
