Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 94 My Will of Fire is Above Yours

The ninja hawk pierced through the clouds, swooped down, creating a gust of wind, passed through Konoha's sensory barrier, and landed at the Hokage Building.

Not long after, an important intelligence report was delivered to the Third Generation.

Jonin Sarutobi Sosuke has gone missing, and it seems to be related to the Anbu.

A group of ninjas were stationed near the border of the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain was a crucial battlefield in all three Shinobi World Wars.

After all, the Land of Rain is located in a strategic location, connecting not only with the Land of Fire, but also with the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.

Three of the five great nations are connected to the Land of Rain.

In times of war, it serves as a strategic buffer.

Of course, the Land of Wind doesn't necessarily have to go through the Land of Rain to invade the Land of Fire; it can also go through the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Earth can also invade the Land of Grass.

However, for Konoha, it is still necessary to station some ninjas near the border of the Land of Rain as a precaution.

Sarutobi Sousuke is one of the elite Jonin of the Sarutobi clan and a captain on the border. He bears considerable responsibility, and any mishap could cause problems that would be taken seriously by the village's higher-ups.

"Usuke is missing? Is it related to the Anbu?" The Third Hokage frowned, pondering the matter.

As the analysis progressed, the three generations of old men's faces darkened.

If he wasn't mistaken, it must have been Danzo who did it.

On the Akatsuki side, although YiDouQi successfully infiltrated the organization, he is currently only an intern and has no access to Akatsuki's core secrets.

If he could become a full member of Akatsuki by defeating seven opponents, that would be the best outcome.

However, the mission Pain gave him to become a full-fledged member, which was to fight seven opponents at once, was to kill ten Jonin Sarutobi.

It's one thing to lay hands on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but to dare target the Sarutobi clan as well? Isn't Pain afraid of enraging this ninja hero?
Once Konoha declares war on Amegakure, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy Amegakure in a short time! Even the Land of Rain might be destroyed.

The Land of Grass was destroyed once.

Both the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass are small countries.

A small country caught between several major powers dares to provoke a tiger; it's practically courting death.

Or do they think that having a pair of Rinnegan makes one invincible?

It was probably Danzo who had Root ninjas impersonate Anbu to scheme against Usuke.

Right-hand man is probably in grave danger.

The Sarutobi clan has lost an elite Jonin!

The more they thought about it, the more gloomy the three generations of old faces became.

It seems he was too lenient with Danzo, who became increasingly outrageous.

……

Root organization base entrance.

The third generation rarely came to the organization's base to look for Tuanzang.

Every time I come here, something significant happens, and this time is no exception.

Although Danzo was his close friend, one could not cross his bottom line.

otherwise……

Removing Danzo from his advisory position and even disbanding the Root organization were all just a matter of his word, after all... he was the Hokage.

When the Hokage arrived at the Root organization's base, Root ninjas immediately went to report to Danzo.

When the third generation stepped into the root organization base, they saw that it was filled with many steel pipes.

The entire base is enormous; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an underground city. It's interconnected and permeates almost every part of the village.

As for the entrance, there is only one on the surface, but there are actually quite a few hidden doors.

Dark, without sunlight...

I didn't see many Root ninjas, but every Root ninja had become accustomed to darkness, forgotten themselves, and become Danzo's tools. Others might not know, but the Third Hokage was well aware of how the Root organization trained its ninjas.

It can be described as cruel.

A group of prospective members fight each other like a breeding ground for poison, and the final winner has to kill his loved ones.

In Danzo's words, bonds breed hatred, and hatred breeds deadly battles.

As members of Root, they have no need for emotions, no past, no future, and not even a name; they are merely Danzo's 'hands and feet'.

Even if Danzo ordered his subordinates to assassinate the Hokage, the Root ninjas would still carry it out.

A person without darkness in their heart cannot survive at the root.

After turning the corner, a corridor came into view, and Danzo walked step by step with his cane.

"Hiruzen, what brings you to my place?" Danzo asked, feigning ignorance.

"Sarutobi Susuke's disappearance is probably related to Root!" The Third Hokage coldly stared at Danzo.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease. The firelight will continue to illuminate this village and allow new leaves to sprout. Hiruzen, do you still remember our original intentions?"

The value of a ninja's life lies not in how they live, but in how they die. Even the Uchiha clan made many sacrifices, so why can't your Sarutobi clan make some? Your teacher chose you to be Hokage and shoulder this heavy responsibility, but do you live up to your teacher's trust?

"My Will of Fire is superior to yours!"

Danzo's attitude remained as tough as ever, and he even criticized the Third Hokage.

In Danzo's view, the Third Hokage was weak and incompetent.

"...Danzo, you... have crossed the line." The Third Hokage's imposing aura had weakened.

"In my eyes, the man known as the 'Hero of the Ninja' is dead, dead on the battlefield. After all, he would not place his clan above the village. As the Kage of a village, he should set an example and dare to take the lead. My teacher and the First Hokage both have the surname Senju, but they gave up the Senju name and integrated the number one clan of Konoha into the common people. This... is the true Will of Fire..." Danzo's eyes turned cold as he stared intently at the Third Hokage.

As he stared at Danzo, the Third Hokage's imposing aura dissipated considerably.

Even the Third Hokage himself had a voice in his heart that Danzo's Will of Fire might actually be superior to his own.

Even though Danzo did many bad things and had selfish motives, everything he did was for the sake of the village.

Extreme? Indeed, Danzo was very extreme, while the Third Hokage could not be so extreme.

For Konoha, sometimes extremes aren't necessarily bad.

As for Danzo's suppression of the Uchiha clan, he saw it as an unstable factor to eliminate Konoha.

Madara Uchiha's defection is a fact!
It's a fact that the Uchiha clan was the instigator of the Nine-Tails' rampage!

The way the Uchiha awakened their Sharingan and how they awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan both involve the mind, and their power is unstable. So, is it possible for the Uchiha to integrate into the village?

What if one day another Uchiha goes crazy and causes trouble from within the village? How much damage would that cause?
Of course, Danzo also coveted the power of the Sharingan.

Therefore, Danzo was selfish, but also cared for the village.

Danzo wanted to become Hokage and make Konoha strong. What's wrong with that?

Danzo didn't have a wife or children, nor did he adopt any sons or anything like that. He didn't care much about his family.

"Danzo, if you stop now, I can let bygones be bygones," the Third Hokage said in a low voice.

"Even if I stop, your good disciple Orochimaru won't stop. And since he's already taken the first step of fighting seven people at once, he'll continue down this path," Danzo sneered.

"What do you mean?" The Third Hokage's expression changed.

"literal meaning."

An astonishing aura emanated from the Third Generation.

Although they are old, the aura of the third generation is still quite astonishing.

Danzo also released his aura, and the two auras clashed, resulting in a stalemate.

Danzo may not be as strong as the Third Hokage, but his aura is no less imposing.

After a long standoff, Danzo made no concessions, and the Third Hokage, of course, forgave Danzo this time.
