"Then Kakashi and Tenzo..."

After several fierce arguments, the Third Hokage finally compromised. Not only did he give up two precious places as Danzo expected, but he also excluded his son Asuma from the candidates.

Hiruzen, it seems you are really old...

Danzo's eyes flashed with pride, because he thought he had seen through his old friend's mind.

"Do you want to use Tenzo to attract the attention of the daimyo?"

The future of a force mainly depends on the performance of young people, but if you Hiruzen can send out the Wooden Ninja, can't I, Danzo, send out the Uchiha?

ridiculous!

"Fortunately, I didn't announce the bodyguard candidates just now."

Thanks to Uchiha Gaizuki's strength far beyond his peers, Danzo's confidence remained intact from beginning to end tonight.

"Jiyue, you are truly my lucky star. Not only can you compete as a genin and win the grand championship for Konoha, but you can also join the guard group and wipe out Tenzo's influence on the daimyo..."

Thinking of this, Danzo gave the two advisors a "we'll discuss it later" look and said to the Third Hokage:

"The candidates I sent are Xiao and Uchiha Jiyue."

"Uchiha Jiyue?"

The Third Hokage was suddenly shocked.

Isn't this child the guarantee for our Konoha victory? Why did Danzo put him in the bodyguard!

However, Mito Kadenen understood Danzo's style very well and knew that he would not sacrifice Konoha's interests to fulfill his own ambitions, so he calmly asked: "So, you have other preparations?"

"That's natural," Danzo said with a little pride on his face, "The guy who replaces Jiyue has special abilities. Not only can he not show any flaws in his age, but he also has few opponents."

There is no flaw in age...

The Third Hokage immediately grasped the key. He knew that this person was most likely one of the "Four Darks" that he had been trying to get rid of for the past six months. He was particularly concerned about Danzo's words after that: "Danzo, what you said

Having few rivals means…”

The smile on Danzo's face became even brighter, and he confidently said: "All the Ninja World!"

"The entire ninja world?!"

Although he had known that Danzo had hidden dragons and crouching tigers at his core, Koharu was quite surprised when he suddenly brought one up: "Huh, Danzo, you have a lot of capable people under your command!"

"After all, there are many tasks and heavy responsibilities at the root. Keeping a few more cards will be of great benefit to me and Konoha without any harm."

Danzo smiled and said nothing more.

Then, the four of them ran to the izakaya and drank until dawn, before returning to their respective residences with the help of ANBU.

However, did the Third Hokage really compromise?

No, from the beginning, his goal was not to let Asuma get in touch with the daimyo, but to lead Danzo into a trap. Even in order to force Danzo to send three "Four Darks", or at least one of them to join the game, he

He did not hesitate to use Tenzo, the Wood Release ninja who had betrayed his roots, as bait.

Now it seems that the results have been quite fruitful.

The three old friends were not only attracted by the sudden appearance of Asma, but they were not aware of his intentions at all.

And, more importantly.

In response to his sincerity, Danzo announced the root candidates directly in front of him!

For him who wants to curb the development of his roots, this is no different than falling asleep and someone gives him a pillow.

Next, whether he used his name as bait to test Danzo's ambition, or used Tenzo to set up a trap to hunt down members of the "Four Darks" and test Uchiha Jiyue's loyalty, it would be easy.

So, the real winner tonight is him!

The Third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Compared to him, Danzo and the two advisors are too young.

That afternoon.

The two advisers came to the root base. Since Danzo said last night that we would discuss it later, they would naturally come.

Danzo was not surprised to see his two friends and welcomed them into the hall with a smile.

"sit down!"

As soon as the three of them sat down, the straightforward Koharu couldn't wait to ask: "Danzo, are you really sure?"

"Well, that child has perfectly inherited the blood of the Kato clan and the Yamanaka clan, and is very powerful." Danzo explained, waving towards the darkness.

Soon, a tall, thin young man wearing a tanuki mask walked up to Danzo and the two advisors.

"That's the kid!"

Danzo looked at him with very soft eyes.

"His father used to be my most trusted subordinate, but unfortunately he died of a hemorrhagic disease..."

"Yeah……"

When Koharu and Mito Kadoyan went to bed, their hearts tightened and they looked at the young man in front of them with some sympathy.

However, under their scrutiny, the young man did not react and said very calmly: "It is an honor for me and my father to serve Danzo-sama and Konoha."

A genius ninja who inherited the art of spiritual transformation and the art of turning hearts?

The more Mito Kaden watched, the more he appreciated the young man's stability: "What's your name?"

The young man looked up at Danzo, as if waiting for his order.

Danzo, who has always valued and treated members of his direct lineage favorably, saw the young man's gaze and said in a helpless tone: "Take off your mask, Terai."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

With Danzo's permission, Terai slowly took off his mask.

"You are actually the child of...!"

After seeing the appearance of Temple Well, Xiaochun showed a surprised expression when he went to bed, but soon regained his composure: "With your help, there should be no problem in the joint high school entrance examination this time."

"Xiaochun, don't worry now!"

Danzo joked with a smile and cast his gaze on the corridor ahead, thinking to himself, Jiyue and the others should be coming over in a while, right?

Danzo had some expectations.

But before that, he still had something to say to the two advisors: "Koharu, Yan, I have something to remind you. If nothing else happens, the Asuma who appeared in the guard list yesterday should be Hiruzen's.

Smoke Bomb, his real purpose is probably to get Tenzo to gain support from the daimyo and succeed him as Hokage."

"What?!"

The two advisors looked shocked at the same time. They both knew what Tenzo's advantages were without Danzo's further reminder.

Wood escape...

No foundation...

There is no affinity for the fourth generation...

It's easy to be manipulated...

Moreover, even if you take office, there won’t be many objections!

Simply the perfect puppet candidate!

Neglected!

At this time, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan, who had gone to bed, had all figured it out. The former looked at Danzo and suddenly said: "No wonder you would arrange Jiyue to protect the daimyo, but this child can really..."

It's not that Koharu is not optimistic about Uchiha Jiyue's future when she goes to bed, she is worried about Uchiha Jiyue's present. After all, Tenzo is several years older than him, and the strength gap caused by time is not so easy to eliminate!

Danzo knew what she was worried about, but Uchiha Jiyue had already proven himself in front of him, so he said in a very determined tone: "Don't worry, Jiyue is not bad in strength, not to mention, I plan to take this opportunity to get rid of

Tenzo!”

"Get rid of Tenzo?!"

Although they knew that Danzo's move was bound to anger the Third Hokage, the two advisors considered the current situation and finally acquiesced to Danzo's decision.

In the eyes of these high-level officials who have inherited the will of the Second Hokage, as long as it is for Konoha, not to mention a mere Wooden ninja, even the Hokage cannot be sacrificed when necessary.
