Chapter 19 (1/2)
land of fire.
A small town on the border.
Danzo was sitting in a hotel room with a map of the land of Fire in front of him.
Recently, he had several encounters with Kirigakure shinobi who tried to provoke Konoha.
”The war will start sooner or later, you are always too soft and indecisive, Hiruzen....a preemptive strike is the best solution. ”
Danzo muttered slowly as he carefully examined the map.
In his eyes, Hiruzen's behavior was too indecisive and conservative, he just responds to the movements of other villages, but in the current situation, it would be much more effective to start a war and strike a decisive blow at one of the villages.
If the current Konoha will gather all their forces in a single fist, it will not be so difficult to crush one village, but if they are attacked simultaneously by several villages and get involved in a protracted war, the situation will become very troublesome.
According to Danzo, Hiruzen simply does not have enough courage and determination to initiate a war, but this is the only way to unite the entire world of shinobi, a huge number of victims is inevitable.
Fuh!
when Danzo carefully considered the map and considered how to act against Kiri in the future, the shinobi Root appeared in the room.
Danzo didn't even look at him, but continued to look at katu: ”How are things in the village?”
Although Danzo himself was on the border Of the land of Fire, but a few shinobi Root remained in Konoha, to control and monitor the situation, from time to time they reported to him.
The voice of shinobi Root was emotionless: ”the Opinion of Lord Hokage has not changed, you must continue to act in the same way...Orochimaru returned to the village with some information about Sunagakura, specific details are unknown...”
shinobi Root reported all the information received recently, starting with the most important and ending with the least significant.
Danzo listened to the report in silence.
Almost half an hour later, shinobi Root said:”...older brother Kakashi killed the elite scout Kiri, presumably, Erase has higher power and talent than Kakashi.”
”What?”
In the eyes of Danzo flashed a surprise.
This was not so important compared to the previous information, but the fact is that all the previous information was in line with his expectations, and this was a complete surprise.
”Is the information reliable? ”
” Yes. ”
shinobi Root nodded affirmatively.
Danzo narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: ”The eldest son of Sakumo has such a talent, but chose to hide it...”
Sakumo's death is indeed directly related to him, but that wasn't His original intention.
Sakumo's rejection of the mission to save his comrades was just an accident, but He actively influenced public opinion, and manipulated the rescued shinobi to give up their guilt and blame Skakumo for everything.
