It was already evening when Konoha received the news that the Fire Temple had been burned down.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a pipe with a gloomy face, and the thick smoke covered his face and his gloomy eyes.

Under the dim light, the whole person looked a little depressed.

""Da Da~"

The sound of the cane hitting the ground slowly rang out, and Danzo, with half of his face bandaged, came out and said in a low voice:"The people from the Root have been sent out. According to the news sent back, the people in the surrounding villages don't know what happened.

As for the ninja monks in the Fire Temple, most of them have died. The remaining people have no witnesses, and they only know that they were attacked by the enemy.

Those who participated in the battle are all dead.

The other party seems to deliberately not let us know who did it."

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, and asked instead of answering.

He seemed to be not interested in what Danzo said, because he had already known these things a long time ago. Danzo just repeated it, which had no meaning.

"Are you doubting me?"

Danzo's remaining eye flashed with gloom, and he said in a deep voice, as if he felt that his personality had been insulted.

"There is a young man named Kong in the Fire Temple."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped smoking and tapped the table with his pipe. The ash seemed to have burned out in Qingli. He spoke calmly as if he hadn't meant to.

""

Danzo's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen's back, and fell silent.

Because he was indeed behind this matter, and even the matter with the horse that year, he also secretly manipulated it.

"Don't you have anything to explain?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly stood up and turned around. He looked not very tall in his Hokage cloak, like a good friend, with his hands behind his back, he spoke slowly.

The content of his words was like a knock on Danzo's heart.

"I have nothing to explain to you."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly and said,"You also know what happened with Kazuma. He wanted to overthrow Konoha and believed that the Hokage didn't need to exist and that all power should belong to the Daimyo. Because of this, I decided to take action against him."

"The Land of Fire originally belonged to the Daimyo, and Konoha also belongs to the Daimyo. There is no contradiction in this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.

You are still the same~

Danzo looked at his friend's face and sneered in his heart. He didn't believe that he didn't know about what happened that year. The other party didn't stop him, obviously acquiesced. He snorted with some dissatisfaction, and then continued:"I acted on my own initiative about Kong's matter. I just wanted to try whether I could control the Nine-Tails by other methods. I don't want it to happen again after the Nine-Tails riot that year."

"I should have told you not to touch the Nine-Tails' affairs!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became stern, and he warned in a deep voice.

"But can you guarantee that the Nine-Tails will never lose control? I have also observed that child, and I don't think he is suitable to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Danzo!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice suddenly turned cold, interrupting Danzo's words, and said in a deep and cold voice:"You have crossed the line, but I am still the Hokage!"

"I understand."

Danzo was silent for a while, then said slowly

"You said that you are the root of darkness, and I also know that Konoha needs you to do some things, but you can't cross the line, this is the rule!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a slightly calmer tone, looking at Danzo, as if looking at an old friend, and whispered

"We are old, the future is destined to belong to the young, the children who inherit the will of fire are growing up, we just need to guard this last shift."

Danzo did not speak, but calmly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, looking at this old friend who was already old and had no ambitions.

Have you become so old?

No wonder other ninja villages can provoke Konoha like this.

It's ridiculous.

Konoha has never been forced by other ninja villages like this.

As for handing Konoha over to the young.

Danzo feels that he is not old yet!!!

How can those childish kids understand the cruelty of the ninja world, and how can they lead Konoha to continue to move forward in this world and reach the peak?

"If everything is alright, I will leave first."

Danzo said lightly, and then slowly left.

But at the moment when he walked into the darkness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again:"Danzo, don't forget the teacher's teachings, you are also the one who inherited the will of fire"

"I have never forgotten it."

Danzo paused, responded calmly, and then walked into the darkness without looking back. He was destined to stay in the darkness, and the sunlight belonged to the Hokage.

"I trust you"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with reminiscence, as if he was thinking back to the days when they fought side by side many years ago, and he muttered to himself.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, or whether he was unwilling to admit it, he was already old.

He could not stop the ravages of time.

His gradually decaying body made him gradually lose his former ambition, and even felt more and more tired and lacked energy in the past few years.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered softly.

He knew.

Konoha needed a successor.

On the other side,

Scorpion continued his experiment, looking at the Sharingan embedded in the body of the monster Wuliang.

There were already dozens of Sharingan embedded in its body, ranging from one magatama to three magatama, which made the body of the monster Wuliang become an indescribable thing full of purple-black tentacles and Sharingan. The chakra and vitality of the monster Wuliang did not seem to be enough for the Sharingan to evolve.

However, it could cause the Sharingan to undergo strange mutations.

The originally scarlet Sharingan gradually turned purple-black during the gestation process, revealing a bit of evil.

"I researched something."

Scorpion looked at the thing in front of him and couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

He is not good at biology, and he made such a thing completely based on his own guesses. He always feels that he will make a very weird thing.

Will it turn into a big eyeball in the end?

Although he doesn't know what this thing will eventually transform into, one thing is certain, that is, the chakra and vitality of the monster Wuliang are more inclined to physical enhancement and mutation, rather than spiritual, which has little effect on the evolution of the Sharingan.

"I remember there was a monster in the original book that seemed to be a combination of negative emotions."

Scorpion thought to himself.
