Danzo dispatched the Root ninja to hunt down Sarutobi Hiruzen who left the village for the daimyo's mansion.

Two Anbu walked in front and behind, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in the middle, and three Anbu hid around to provide protection.

And the Root Ninjas were following around.

Qianyu's shadow clone also kept a secretive figure, tracking and observing the two groups of people.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped into the woods, the ten Root ninjas moved.

Five Root ninjas descended from the sky in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and two Anbu, and rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen with kunai in their hands.

The two Anbu ninjas immediately threw shurikens and took out kunai to fight back.

The three hidden ANBU wanted to provide support, but four other Root ninjas appeared to stop them.

Nine Root ninjas and five Anbu ninjas were fighting each other, and the fight was getting further and further away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood where he was, holding his Hokage hat, and watched the scene quietly.

Suddenly a Root Ninja appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and this Root Ninja was 'A'.

'Ka' put his hands together: "Wood Release Technique!"

A large number of sharp trees emerged from the ground and stabbed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem surprised by '甲's Wood Release Ninjutsu and used the Substitution Technique directly.

The sharp wood of '甲' pierced through a wooden stake.

"substitute?!"

'Kazu' looked up and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen standing on a branch looking at him as a cloud of smoke enveloped him, revealing his disguise and a masked ANBU ninja looking down at 'Kazu'.

'甲' immediately realized that the mission had failed, as there was no Sarutobi Hiruzen here.

"Wood Style: Large Tree Technique!"

'Armor' extended multiple wooden vine branches from his arms and attacked the ANBU ninja.

The Anbu ninja quickly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Wind Cut Technique!"

The Anbu ninja turned the wind into sharp blades, able to cut through vines and branches in an instant.

Upon seeing this, 'A' immediately retreated and fled.

The Anbu ninja did not pursue.

The other five ANBU also returned.

"Their only target is the Third-generation Master. Their purpose is to lead us away from him."

"Is everything okay?"

"Ah."

"Go back, the third generation will take care of the rest."

Six Anbu ninjas used the instant body movement technique to leave here.

Qianyu's shadow clone was automatically dispelled after the Anbu ninja left.

Chiba, who was cooking in Konoha's house, paused with the spatula in his hand, pursed his lips and muttered, "It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen did know in advance that Danzo was going to assassinate him and made arrangements, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also noticed that Wood Release kid a long time ago.

But it seems that I won’t get anything from this witnessing point... Never mind, a mosquito is still meat, and it doesn’t cost anything to watch it, it’s free.”

Qianyu walked out of the room and created another shadow clone.

Chiba's shadow clone used the transformation technique, turned into a snake, and swam towards the Hokage Building.

At this time, in the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building, Danzo was sitting in the seat that was originally occupied by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In Danzo's view, Sarutobi Hiruzen is doomed to die.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen is old and has not fought for a long time, and the most recent battle was the one with the Nine-Tails.

Even in the Third Ninja World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not fight much. After all, he was the Hokage, and as the Kage of a village he would not participate in the war unless it was necessary.

The reckless men from the Hidden Cloud Village don’t count.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength has declined a lot.

The real reason why Danzo was so sure that Sarutobi Hiruzen would die was because of "Armor".

If a second Wood Release ninja appeared besides Hashirama Senju, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely be surprised and would not dare to kill him and thus expose his flaws.

'甲' was highly valued by him and he personally guided his ninjutsu training.

Danzo also specially obtained the Wood Release Ninjutsu book of the first Hokage and let "Jia" learn the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Although '甲' is only ten years old, he is a very qualified ninja.

Danzo leaned back in his chair, turned it around to face the window, and closed his eyes.

From today on, he will stand at the pinnacle of power in Konoha!

And next...Danzo's plan is to mobilize the entire village to deal with Chiha.

Danzo couldn't help but smile when he thought that all the people who hindered him would be dead by then.

Outside the window, there was a snake spitting out its tongue, and a human-like sarcastic expression appeared on the snake's face.

This Danzo looks really happy now, so happy that he didn't even notice that Sarutobi Hiruzen walked behind him.

"I'm sorry, I can't give this seat to someone else yet."

Danzo suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief, and immediately turned the chair back, and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was supposed to be dead, standing in front of Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo coldly: "You seem to be surprised why I am alive."

Danzo's face couldn't stop twitching, cold sweat was already pouring down, and he tried to explain: "No, because I heard that you left for Daimyofu this morning."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were very sharp: "Danzo, do you really think I don't know anything about what's going on in the village? Late last night, ten ninjas suddenly left Konoha. What do you think these ten ninjas did? We can find out who is behind this.

In this case, that person will be punished with death! There is no doubt about it! "

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with gritted teeth, thinking in his mind how to respond.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly changed the subject: "But my principles do not allow me to hurt more people! If I see him, I want to tell him that this incident will be forgiven."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in shock.

I was about to kill him, and this can be forgiven?

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said, "But on the other hand, I hope he can do his best for Konoha Village in the future!"

Danzo said sullenly, "You should still stick to pacifism. Your naivety will destroy you one day, Hiruzen."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window and said, "Maybe."

Danzo stood up and walked towards the door, but Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Danzo stopped walking and frowned, "What are you talking about? You said it has always been like this, you are the light and I am the darkness?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Where there is light, there must be darkness. Without either, normal operation cannot be maintained. However, this is not what I am talking about."

Danzo's frown deepened: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "Danzo, I just said that I hope he can do his best for Konoha. Wood Release Ninjutsu is very important to Konoha. Don't you have anything to say to me?

I have been in charge of Konoha for so many years. Although I have given you a lot of authority and made the Root almost your private army, I am not completely ignorant. "

Danzo was extremely shocked.

Could it be that...there are Sarutobi Hiruzen's people in the Root?
