Chapter 204 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Frustration
Konoha Village.
Danzo's body was left hanging for several days.
The Uchiha clan provided some preservation treatment and then stored it away.
During the period when the atrocities of Shimura Danzo were publicized, there were neither too many nor too few onlookers.
To avoid getting involved in the trouble, the clan's ninjas chose to remain secluded and refuse to meet with anyone.
On the contrary, it was the ninjas of the Shimura family.
Tears flowed down my face.
I wasn't saddened by Danzo Shimura's death, but rather moved to tears.
This traitor who brought ruin to the family is finally dead!
Danzo Shimura believed he had fully inherited the mantle of the Second Hokage.
However, one of the ideas promoted by the Second Hokage was the integration of the clan into the village.
For this reason, Danzo Shimura did a lot of harm to the Shimura family.
This action made Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously trust Danzo Shimura even more.
After all, the other side had no way out!
At this moment, another message also reached Konoha.
This immediately caused a sensation throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village!
The Thousand Hands Rope Tree represents the Thousand Hands Castle, signifying the dissolution of its alliance with Konoha Village.
At the same time, he strongly condemned Danzo Shimura of Konoha Village for leading an attack on the lord of Senju Castle and causing the death of the vice lord, Yang!
On this day, the villagers finally realized what Shimura Danzo had done!
...
The defense line of the river, the Konoha camp.
Night fell, and it was cold and damp.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood under bright lights, handling the administrative affairs of the ninja forces throughout the night.
He was hesitant and indecisive, and also had many doubts and difficulty in making a decision.
Only by having all matters, big and small, in hand can one feel at ease.
These past few days, even when he was distracted by official duties, he was still worried about Konoha, which was thousands of miles away.
Will Orochimaru be able to hold onto the position of acting Hokage?
What if, once he returns to the village, the Hokage's office changes its name to Uchiha?
Orochimaru wasn't exactly innocent either.
The intelligence gathered by the secret service has changed drastically, from several reports a day initially to one report every few days now.
"Ugh."
Hiruzen Sarutobi tightened his cloak and placed the Hokage hat on the side of the table.
After a few days of playing, I looked ten years older.
Time waits for no one.
It's one thing if the situation in the village is unknown.
The war in the land of rivers was also not going well.
The ninjas of Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Utatane have enjoyed peace for far too long.
They were sent to the battlefield and weren't used to it.
At that moment, a Jonin from the intelligence squad appeared in the tent in a flash.
"Lord Hokage! Chiyo of Sunagakure is leading a puppet army to attack Outpost Number One."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly. He stood up and carefully examined the map.
The entire territory of the Land of Rivers was a 'treasure' that Sakumo Hatake left to Hiruzen Sarutobi before he left.
As one of the best of the younger generation.
Sakumo Hatake was quite shrewd in battle, and with his back-and-forth thrusts, he pushed the defensive line firmly into the Land of Wind.
After the cable was replaced.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi aged, his adaptability diminished.
Add to that a deep-seated hesitation.
A fighter jet's chance is fleeting.
As Konoha's influence and strength increased, the sense of oppression actually weakened.
"Order to dispatch the Seventh Squad, leading its subordinate squads, to support Outpost Number One."
"After encountering Chiyo, news quickly came back that I would personally provide support."
The intelligence squad's ninja wanted to say something.
Chiyo, a Kage-level shinobi from Sunagakure!
How fast is its movement speed?
Relying on the accounts of ninjas on the front lines, unless you're incredibly lucky, you'll never encounter one!
When Lord White Fang was on the front lines, he always went deep into the battlefield, actively disrupting the Sand Village's plans and intercepting powerful figures such as the Kazekage.
Instead of passively accepting attacks.
But standing before me is the Hokage.
Can't go wrong.
Perhaps... it's a higher-level strategy?
"Yes!" The intelligence squad ninja didn't say anything more and disappeared into the tent in an instant.
Hiruzen Sarutobi removed his casual clothes and, after receiving news from Chiyo, immediately set out on his mission.
Instead of receiving news from the intelligence unit, they received a scroll from the village's secret service.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the scroll, his pupils immediately contracting, a flicker of pain crossing his face: "Danzo is dead? Uchiha Yuuki killed Danzo? What on earth happened!"
He is so anxious!
Coup? Rebellion?
Orochimaru failed to live up to his expectations by not mediating the relationship between the Uchiha and Danzo.
The Hyuga clan is still in the village. Are they just going to stand by and watch the Uchiha coup?
He continued to peruse several scrolls.
His face grew even more somber.
Danzo has been given the Sharingan. After an examination, his optic nerve has begun to recover, indicating that the transplant has been in place for at least a month!
Offending the Uchiha clan is one thing.
They also attacked Senju Nawaki and killed the deputy lord of Senju Castle!
There's not much to say about the Senju family.
That's because the news hasn't reached Tsunade's ears yet!
If Tsunade finds out what happened, she might just go straight back to the village!
No, we have to keep it a secret...
As Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to the last page, his heart sank even further.
This intelligence came from three days ago?!
His expression turned somewhat aggrieved.
What has become of the village?
Hiruzen Sarutobi never realized that his control over Konoha was so poor!
Before setting off, he naively believed that as long as there were secret agents communicating with both inside and outside the organization, he could succeed.
He had complete control over all matters, big and small, in the village.
It's only been about ten days.
The stark reality told him that the so-called indestructible dark forces were nothing but bubbles!
It's no wonder that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know how to use people.
There was no competition before.
A lack of competition will inevitably lead to regression.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat back down with a cold face and wrote a reply to Orochimaru.
We must appease the emotions of the Uchiha and Senju.
Let's put everything off until he gets back!
Watching the ANBU leave with the reply, Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe, his face full of anger.
"Danzo, what exactly did he do?"
"Why did you attack Nawaki? And why did you switch to the Sharingan?"
"And also, the ANBU from earlier."
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not sense the usual respect from the expressions of the Anbu members.
He was confused.
The same Will of Fire, the same burning branches...
Even the Dark Division seems to be wavering.
Within the village, many ordinary ninjas have also lost their sense of awe.
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand it at all.
The reason is actually very simple.
The rule is that if you command ordinary ninjas, you'll either get promoted or make a fortune.
If all else fails, give life its value.
They have nothing, yet they expect others to contribute.
Especially influenced by the trend of speeches by medical associations, the Will of Fire, riddled with flaws, gradually lost market share.
The Will of Fire of the third generation no longer carries any emotional value.
Who's going to listen?!
After waiting for a while, another member of the Dark Guard suddenly arrived!
This time, the intelligence records show that Uchiha Yuuki fought the Third Raikage and won!
Cut off one of their arms!
Hiruzen Sarutobi became even angrier.
It's not that I'm angry about Yuuki's progress.
It's the timeliness of this intelligence that matters!
It was three days ago again!
Orochimaru...
Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled the last Shinobi World War, when he was given a critical mission and the village was in a state of chaos.
The difference is that the current loss of control seems to be something he created himself!
孽 孽!
