The old man was so angry that he was beaten.

Tutai's hands trembled as if he had Parkinson's disease, shaking the letter in his hand like a sieve.

Lying weakly on the chair in the conference room, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, the others looked at each other, wondering why Tutai reacted like this.

Isn't the worst result surrender?

Wasn't he mentally prepared from the beginning?

Ai, who had a splint on his chin, also looked at the decadent Tutai in surprise and snatched the letter from him.

Bang!

Ai changed the table in the conference room again.

"Ai! How many times have I told you to restrain yourself? Do you look like a qualified candidate for Raikage?"

Ai threw the envelope in his hand at the face of the elder who criticized him. Ai's whole face was as red as a boiled shrimp.

The muscles on his body looked ferocious because of Ai's excitement, and the blue veins kept moving and the electric light was looming.

If it weren't for Takahashi's elbow that twisted his chin, he would have started to scold now.

The elder of Kumogakure took the letter off his face in a daze. Just a glance at it made his blood boil.

"How dare he!!"

The other senior executives immediately snatched the letter and circulated it one by one. There was an endless stream of grief and anger in the conference room.

"We in Kumogakure have never suffered such an insult! I am so angry!"

"It is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace!"

"Fight with Danzo!!"

Bang!

The earthen platform made the table fall completely, and the wood cracked into pieces along the wood grain on the ground.

"Shut up!"

"Fight! And then finish off the Kumogakure Ninja, right!"

"Then the name of Kumogakure will really cease to exist!"

Others were also shocked by Tsuchida's unusual attitude.

"Contact all nobles in the country!"

"Bring up the maps, and study them all!"

"Drag! Drag until Danzo can't stand the pressure!!"

Others couldn't help but calm down when they saw that Tsuchida had already given a countermeasure.

Ai covered his chin and agreed hesitantly.

While the top leaders of Kumogakure were still in chaos, the dark side of the ninja world was also quickly passing on a message.

Advanced fax machines were not even popular in the five major countries, but there was one at every station in the black market.

Before Kumogakure began to deploy, the news had already reached the water defense line of Konoha.

And it spread to the ninja world at a very fast speed. After all, it was the most explosive news the black market had received in recent years, and any priority intelligence had to give way.

'Destroy the country and the race!

——Shimura Danzo'

Konoha Hokage Building

The calm and dense lights of Konoha Village illuminated the Hokage Building, which was slightly dim because of the off-get off work period.

The lights of thousands of houses outside the window were reflected in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

But he was not calm now, and even a little frightened.

Yesterday, the Third Hokage handed the letter accepting the surrender of Kumogakure to the envoy of the Land of Lightning, because his cautious character took into account the balance of the ninja world.

Konoha needs a competitive Kumogakure to contain the conflict-ridden Iwagakure.

But he received a letter from the front line of the Root this evening, which made him "welded" directly in the Hokage's office and he has been stunned until now.

Everyone in Konoha went home to enjoy the warmth, but he was still sitting here.

It was not because the sender was his best friend, but because the content of the letter wrote a decision that he could never make in his life.

'Kumogakure is weak, I can replace it, a real man should be like this!

Quick support, management talents are given priority!

——Shimura Danzo'

The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke silently. He was not worried about the "acceptance of surrender" he gave to Kumogakure yesterday.

He knew his close friend from childhood and knew that Danzo would not be stopped by a letter. The Third Hokage even guessed Danzo's reason.

He could even think of Danzo's familiar face. When Kumogakure took out the letter, Danzo would only say coldly: The general is away from home and the master's orders are not accepted, or: This letter was forged by Kumogakure!

The Third Hokage was worried about the reaction of the nobles and the subsequent reactions of other countries. He took a deep puff of the pipe.

"Danzo, are you going to destroy Konoha?"

He knew that if Danzo knew his thoughts, he would definitely scold him for being weak, but couldn't he pass it on to future generations?

As long as their generation develops with peace of mind and leaves a strong Konoha for future generations, that's enough.

The higher the position, the more things to consider, the more chain reactions will be caused, and the more timid and hesitant they will be.

In the end, you can only fall into the situation of calculating gains and losses, and you have to make choices for everything.

Loss of the unstoppable

Courage!

Perhaps our Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is known as the "Ninja Hero", was restricted and corrupted by power!

Picking up the pen, the Third Hokage carefully wrote two letters on the table.

He summoned his own Anbu and Danzo's Root, and handed the letter to Danzo to the Root first.

"Send it to Danzo, as soon as possible!"

The Root just nodded, dodged, and jumped out of the window, apparently heading straight to the front line.

'I hope it's in time. '

The Third Hokage closed his eyes, lay on the office chair, and sighed.

"Shinosuke, do you think I'm too hesitant?"

The Third Hokage said to the Anbu in front of him, who was his eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"Father is a Ninja Hero! How could he hesitate?"

The Anbu wore a monkey mask, and a more lively voice came out of it. It was not difficult to hear the admiration for the Third Hokage.

The third generation closed his eyes, not letting his son see any emotion, Ninja hero?

... When did my ambition fade?

'Now Danzo has far surpassed me. '

'Am I doing the wrong thing? '

Opening his eyes, he looked at his son, the current captain of the Anbu.

The third generation saw clearly the talent of his eldest son. He would never be able to touch the threshold of the Kage level in his life. At best, he would be an elite jonin, not even the top one.

If the war continues, how many people will lose their sons, fathers, husbands, and families?

The third generation couldn't imagine how sad he would be if his eldest son died on the battlefield!

'I am doing the right thing! Danzo! '

He carefully sealed the letter, stamped it with the seal representing the Hokage, added some symbols with other meanings, carefully checked the etiquette of the envelope, and handed it to his son after confirming that there was no problem.

"Attack with all your strength! Make sure to hand it over to the Fire Country Daimyo! And then obey his orders!"

"Yes!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke took the letter, carefully put it in his arms, walked out of the door, and closed the door of the Hokage's office.

Only the third generation was left in the office, looking at the peaceful and harmonious Konoha outside the window.

After staying for a long time, the third generation Hokage stared at the documents on the table and said to himself:

"Go home, Asuma is waiting for me in Lake Biwa..."
