Sarutobi Hiruzen is sad for his misfortune and angry for not fighting. Hatake Sakumo is good at everything. He is obedient and can fight in his prime, but he can always make some big news.

Actually, it’s okay to make some big news. It’s just that you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days. No matter how tight the defense line is, there will be times when it becomes sparse.

The ANBU led by Hatake Sakumo has only made this big mistake since the Kushina incident, and its performance is already very good.

The bad thing is that there is an old Yinbi Danzo who keeps an eye on Hatake Sakumo's position and impeaches Hatake Sakumo at every turn. He will beat him to death if he catches any little clue.

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't like Danzo for a long time.

Decades ago, Senju Tobirama led the Guards to Yunyin Village to sign an armistice agreement. Unexpectedly, they caught up with the Golden Horn and Silver Horn rebellion, leaving Senju Tobirama behind.

Before he left, he passed the position of Hokage to Hiruzen Sarutobi in the form of an oral instruction. To this day, this matter is often mentioned by Hiruzen Sarutobi to prove the legitimacy of his position as Hokage.

But at the time, this matter was very unorthodox.

The Five Great Ninja Villages are nominally subordinate organizations of the Five Nations. Whether the Hokage can take up the post must first ask the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Under normal circumstances, the Daimyo will not refute the candidates proposed by the previous Hokage.

But the program is just that.

Taking Minato as the most procedural successor to Hokage in the original plot, for example, Konoha's top management first went to the Land of Fire and held a meeting with the daimyo to discuss the successor.

Danzo recommended Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen recommended Minato, and finally the daimyo chose Minato.

Note that both Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are only recommended, not officially appointed. Procedurally speaking, it only counts if the daimyo makes the final decision.

Similar to Sarutobi Hiruzen is Tsunade, both of whom died before succeeding the previous Hokage.

Perhaps because the situation in Konoha was not stable at that time, Danzo did not jump out to compete with Tsunade. As a result, Tsunade became the only candidate with qualifications and strength, and there were no accidents in the succession process.

The situation of Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time was much worse.

Procedurally, he was only appointed as the successor by Senju Tobirama in front of all his disciples, rather than being personally recommended to the daimyo by Senju Tobirama.

In terms of strength, Uchiha Kagami and Danzo were both a little stronger than him, and even Koharu and Mito Kaden were no worse than him at that time.

The third generation is the same as Jiraiya, they are both late bloomers, ninjas with little experience and hair style, and their talents were not very outstanding when they were young.

In the final analysis, excluding Kagami who is from the Uchiha clan, there is Danzo who can compete with him. It can even be said that in some aspects of his behavior, Danzo is more like the second generation than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to succeed as Hokage, he must first deal with Danzo.

Because Senju Tobirama appointed him, not many people knew about it. If Danzo could convince Koharu to move to another bed, Mito Kabuto would retort and make Kagami shut up.

Finally, when it comes to asking for instructions from the daimyo, there is still a possibility that Danzo will succeed in seizing power.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a good player at playing politics and making compromises, and he immediately realized that his position as heir was not stable.

Therefore, he first promised to transfer Koharu and Mito Kabuto to assist the Hokage to ensure that these two people would not betray each other at the critical moment.

During the Senju Brothers' reign, Konoha's administrative structure was more like a centralized monarchy, and the Hokage kept his word.

With two more assistants, although the Hokage is still the most effective in speaking, the administrative structure already has a bit of a Roman aristocratic republic flavor.

From working part-time workers to members of the management team, Koharu and Mito Kaden naturally would not reject Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After settling the two of them, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sure of victory, calmed down and slowly talked with Danzo about catching a fish today and eating a meal tomorrow.

After Danzo reacted, it was already too late. Unless he brought up a far better bargaining chip than Hiruzen Sarutobi, he could make Koharu and Mito Kadeni rebel.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was appointed by Tobirama, and he was given the position of Hokage's assistant. Logically speaking, the two of them were more inclined towards Sarutobi.

The bargaining chip that can persuade them to betray must be at least several times heavier than that of the Hokage's assistant, and it would take decades of pain for Danzo to afford it.

When Danzo was in a dilemma, Sarutobi Hiruzen unnecessarily caused trouble and used huge profits to defeat him, and finally succeeded in recruiting Danzo.

The position of Hokage's assistant, coupled with the fact that he is affiliated with ANBU, but actually only takes orders from Danzo, is Sarutobi Hiruzen's bargaining chip.

In this way, Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to successfully succeed as the Third Hokage, and gradually consolidated his authority and legitimacy, becoming a well-deserved talker in the largest society in the ninja world.

The matter of settling the three of them also left a source of trouble for the future.

Danzo is indeed better than Koharu and Mito Kaden, and his ambition is greater than the two of them, especially when Danzo later realizes that the position of Hokage was once so close and yet so far away from him.

A root, Danzo's appetite can no longer be overcome.

The full name of Genbu is "Anbu Training Force", which is nominally affiliated with Anbu. Its main responsibility is to train young talents for Anbu.

Danzo's ultimate goal is naturally to become the Hokage, but before that, he needs to increase his bargaining chip, so he naturally focuses on the ANBU.

Hatake Sakumo is a die-hard loyalist of Hiruzen Sarutobi, or a die-hard loyalist of Hokage. Danzo, Hatake Sakumo's nominal "superior and subordinate", often impeached him.

Danzo is evil-minded and ruthless, but he has never been good at concealing his emotions and intentions. At least everyone in the top management of Konoha knows that Danzo wants to get involved in ANBU, and even wants to be the Hokage.

Today is no different than in the past. Sarutobi Hiruzen's authority is consolidated. Let's not talk about abolishing Danzo. After all, there is a brotherhood. But it is impossible to allow Danzo to expand his power.

In this way, the two have been fighting for many years over whether Hatake Sakumo is competent for his job.

Now that the ANBU has stabbed another person in the trap, giving Danzo a handle in vain, how can Sarutobi Hiruzen not have a headache?

Don't ask about the assassination of Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple or why Danzo got angry. Asking is about caring for the younger generation. Asking is about looking at the leopard. From a small thing, you can tell that Hatake Sakumo is not up to standard.

Even if Danzo makes trivial mistakes, can he miss this opportunity?

Hatake Sakumo's political sense is relatively slow, but after so many years, even a fool can detect that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo are fighting with ANBU.

I can only bow my head and admit my mistake: "My subordinate is not capable enough and has failed to live up to the expectations and cultivation of Hokage-sama. I am willing to take the initiative to resign.

Let my subordinates do one last thing for the ANBU. I will find out the loopholes in the ANBU intelligence system, deal with everything, and give Hokage-sama a new ANBU.

If we can't handle it well, Hatake Sakumo is willing to die to apologize."

In short, accept the punishment and accept the punishment.

Even Hatake Sakumo offered to die to apologize, what else could Sarutobi Hiruzen do?

He could only frown, wave his hand, and order: "Go check it out quickly.

When one cockroach appears, it means there are more cockroaches in your home, so you must check carefully.

All intelligence stations inside and outside the country can radiate to places, even within the ANBU, to get to the bottom of things. This time the ANBU must be cleaned up.

Come back to me after checking, and I will arrange for someone to work with you to handle the follow-up issues."
