Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

While Shirokumo Aoba was excitedly creating all sorts of fantastical histories to "smear" the various important figures since the founding of Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was ashen, and he stiffly turned off the crystal ball in front of him like a robot.

He just noticed that Naruto hadn't found Shirokumo Aoba after so many days, so he glanced at him out of curiosity.

Instead, I heard so much offensive stuff, and the other person seemed so confident and articulate, as if it were all true.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a daze for a while before slowly lighting his pipe.

After taking a few deep breaths, he suddenly felt his mind clear, and many previously blocked thoughts came to a head.

In the decades that followed his becoming Hokage, many images flashed through his mind, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

His face was covered in wrinkles that resembled chrysanthemums.

'This Danzo...could he really have those kinds of intentions?'

Hiruzen Sarutobi was certain that Aoba Shirakumo was talking nonsense, because he had no intention of doing so at all.

He often stayed at the Hokage Building because after his wife passed away, his eldest son also passed away, and his youngest son went to work as a guardian ninja in the Daimyo's mansion.

He went home alone, feeling lonely and bored.

However, what he was unsure about was Danzo's intentions.

He used to think that Danzo was plotting to get him the position of Hokage and wanted to increase the overall strength of his Root organization.

But now that I think about it, something seems a little off.

Regarding the things that Shimura Danzo proposed, such as human experimentation, the extermination of the Uchiha clan, and even his desire for Naruto's custody.

That bastard could tell with his ass that Hiruzen Sarutobi would never agree to his demands.

Danzo is definitely not right!

Every time someone comes here looking for a scolding, they probably don't want to get the Hokage position, they want to get the Hokage position from him.

Click!

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in thought, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out.

Just as he was wondering who was so rude as to enter the Hokage's office without knocking, he realized...

The last person he wanted to see walked in.

"Hiruzen, we must resolve the issue of the Uchiha clan as soon as possible!"

Danzo Shimura, leaning on a cane and with half his body wrapped in bandages, looked unusually agitated.

The only things that could excite him so much, besides the Hokage, were the Uchiha clan.

It was only when Shimura Danzo entered that he realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction seemed a little off.

In the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi would always be nonchalant and calm no matter what he said when he came in, but today he seemed too stiff.

After Shimura Danzo noticed this difference, he immediately began to examine the other person.

Little did he know, Hiruzen Sarutobi already felt something was off about Danzo Shimura entering the door without knocking.

Now that he was being scrutinized like this, he suddenly felt a tightness in his anus.

"Hiruzen, are you alright?"

After searching for a long time without finding any trace of the transformation technique, Shimura Danzo had no choice but to look away and ask directly.

"Cough cough cough! I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell."

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly covered his embarrassment with a cough, and after composing himself, he asked, "What brings you here today?"

His mind was filled with the rumors that Shirokumo Aoba had told him, so he didn't hear them clearly when Danzo came in.

Upon hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwell, Danzo Shimura's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Hiruzen, if you're not feeling well, you can rest for a while. I can also help with the village's affairs."

To show his sincerity, Shimura Danzo revealed a concerned expression that he hadn't done in a long time, as if he were genuinely concerned about the other person's health.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: ? ? ?

What kind of expression is that?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just adjusted his mindset, almost lost it again.

Danzo Shimura was still delivering the finishing blow.

"Hiruzen, you are now the Hokage of Konoha, and your health is of utmost importance. As an advisor to the village and your close friend, I am doing this for the sake of Konoha and for your sake as the Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more confused. You still know we're best friends?

Seeing that Shimura Danzo was about to continue speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sit still any longer. His expression immediately hardened, and he roared angrily.

"Enough! Danzo!"

"I am the Hokage, I don't need you to worry about these things!"

Danzo Shimura was also stunned. He hadn't even started today yet, and had only been concerned about Hiruzen's health. Why did he feel that Hiruzen's temper was even worse than before?

Could it be that he's been living a comfortable life for too long and his acting skills have declined?

"Hiruzen, I..."

"Danzo! Calm down!"

Danzo Shimura:? ? ?

Who needs to calm down now?

From the moment he came in until now, except for a little excitement at the beginning, he has been speaking softly and gently, while you, on the other hand, keep yelling.

Unaware of the truth, Shimura Danzo chose to keep his mouth shut, remaining silent and simply staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi now sees everything as gay through the lens of BL (Boys' Love).

At this moment, the other person's posture appeared to him as if she had been wronged... and was acting coquettishly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists instinctively. He admitted that he was starting to panic; he couldn't let his best friend of many years go astray.

"call--"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Danzo, you should go back now. During this time, don't come to me unless it's an emergency. Just do your job well."

Danzo Shimura was truly aggrieved this time; he wondered if his close friend had lost his temper.

Even though his attitude was much better than before, Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more irritable.

Could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi prefers him to be a little fiercer?

Danzo Shimura seemed to have figured something out, but looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's current state, it didn't seem like a good time.

The routine began.

"Hmph! Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

Danzo Shimura suddenly flicked his sleeve.

"Remember to knock next time you come."

Just as he was about to slam the door shut, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice rang out again.

Danzo Shimura's smooth movements suddenly froze, but he still slammed the door shut with a "bang".

"What on earth is going on? Has something happened to the village again?"

Standing at the doorway, Shimura Danzo finally frowned.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what had happened in the village, so I just left.

"Oh right! What was I here for today?"

After Danzo left, the Third Hokage got up and went to the window, silently watching the white clouds drifting across the sky, thinking about Danzo's actions over the years, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

In the end, all that can be done is to sigh deeply.

"Danzo... my dearest friend..."

"Teacher... what should I do..."

Muttering to himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought again, pondering Aoba Shirakumo's words, as if his teacher was also among them.

"A sin..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been harassed by Danzo, completely forgot that he still had to deal with Aoba Shirakumo's matter.
