Danzo: Where's Your Sanctimony?

In the heart of the Sarutobi territory,

The long-lost F4 of Konoha gathered together,

Ever since the last time Danzo acted foolishly and got everyone confused, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to cool off this idiot for a while and not play with him.

He took a step back and managed the duties of the Konoha Military Police, and the ANBU simply changed their name to the Urban Development Squad.

In contrast, Danzo lost his position as the Hokage's assistant and ended up with the title of a retired old cadre, and now he doesn't even have the authority to recruit for Root anymore.

Root was the training institution for new members of the ANBU,

Now that the ANBU is gone, Root is naturally unnecessary.

After all, the Urban Development Squad doesn't need the high-intensity training that the ANBU required.

The military funds that originally belonged to the ANBU naturally fell into the hands of the Uchiha clan, which was responsible for external operations.

From a certain perspective, at this moment, the rights and obligations of the Uchiha clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi were exchanged.

But of course, Hiruzen wouldn't go around offending people like the Uchiha clan does.

Although his handling of the Urban Development Squad wasn't as passive as Toki's, he still let his subordinates handle things, making those merchants fully experience what it means to have no authority over county affairs.

Over time, his private income not only didn't decrease but even increased.

Of course, he wouldn't personally intervene in these matters, these were all personal actions of his subordinates who didn't know any better, and as a retired Hokage, he naturally wasn't qualified to deal with these trivial matters.

So many merchants went to complain to Shikaku Nara, saying that the management fee of the Urban Development Squad was too high, hoping that the village head could coordinate.

But without control over the Urban Development Squad, Shikaku Nara couldn't interfere with the Urban Development Squad, and he didn't even go to Hiruzen Sarutobi about it.

Because at this time, the captain of the Urban Development Squad was the former captain of the ANBU, not him, the retired Hokage.

With a little thought, you know what kind of reply this guy would give.

So during this time, there was a secret rumor circulating in the village, saying things like "If the Third were the Hokage, this wouldn't have happened."

And Danzo seemed to be shocked by this series of intelligence reports,

So after Toki went to the front lines, Danzo also went to the Sarutobi clan's territory.

He used to think that Hiruzen was an indecisive weakling, so many things needed him, the Hidden Leaf's darkness, to supplement them.

But in reality, Danzo looked down on this saint who always had "the will of fire" on his lips from the bottom of his heart.

In reality, Danzo deeply despised this so-called Hokage who constantly preached about the 'Will of Fire'.

Damn it, Konohagakure is an assassination organization, B-rank missions and above are all about personal bodyguards, espionage activities, assassinations, eliminating ninja squads, Assassinating or protecting important national figures, and transporting classified documents.

Is this something a soft-hearted, fire-willed saint can handle?

So after Danzo took office, he followed Hiruzen like a nanny, tirelessly covering up for him.

Claiming control over the Tailed Beasts, capturing the Senju clans ninja, and focusing on researching Wood Release techniques.

When their attempts at mastering Wood Release failed, they sought to obtain the complete sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

As for concerns about Sakamuto's influence and how it might impact their and Orochimaru's candidacy for Hokage... Well, let's disregard that for now.

Anyway, in Danzo's eyes, Hiruzen was simply a waste who failed more often than he succeeded, a naive political newbie who didn't understand the ways of the world.

He was like a nanny who followed Hiruzen around every day after taking office, doing all the dirty work.

What kind of a saint is that supposed to be, you holy whore?

Hiruzen looked at Danzo and felt secretly pleased, starting from the moment he decisively accepted the Second Hokage's military order, he knew that this guy in front of him, who was both righteous and cowardly, was the best scapegoat.

Would the Second allow his disciple to be left behind?

Impossible!

So what's there to hesitate about? It must have been asked to test us, so i proposed myself

But this idiot Danzo not only didn't understand, he also thought it was because his will wasn't firm enough.

Now, after years of guidance from him, Danzo has successfully become the renowned Hidden Leaf's darkness - a notorious manipulator in the ninja world.

He never knew that with his reputation as a dirty-handed guy known throughout the ninja world, he would never have a chance at the Hokage position in his life.

What does the Hokage emphasize?

It's public opinion, it's righteousness!

You, a leader who kills and eliminates opponents all day long, wants to be Hokage?

What a joke!

Hiruzen chuckled and said,

"Ah, I wonder if Shisui and the others can withstand the attack from the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Back then, even with Minato, they only fought AB to a draw."

Danzo opened his mouth in silence, Withstand? Withstand my ass!

This is clearly a matter of life and death for you, and you're still worried.

Danzo suddenly felt that he and Hiruzen were not on the same level as old schemers.

With a swish, an ANBU member, excitedly landed in Hiruzen's courtyard.

Hiruzen's mouth twitched with a smile, then he showed an excited expression and asked,

"How's the battle going!?"
