Chapter 291 Return of the Five Tails

As if disapproving of this decision, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"Hiruzen, are you going to go against Tobirama-sensei's will?"

Danzo was very unhappy when he saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi was still hesitating, and brought out the flag of his ancestors to suppress the opponent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hesitation is true, but this is not the main reason: "If it were put a few years ago, it would still be possible.

"But now, Aokiji is too strong. It's not like we could just shoot a few ANBU ninjas and subdue him."

"If he resists, it will take at least two Kage-level ninjas, plus a group of elite ninjas, to completely subdue him.

"In addition to the above reasons, don't forget that behind Aojiha is the Uchiha clan. With his current talent and strength, he must be the next leader of the Uchiha clan. If he takes action rashly, civil strife will break out in the village. , in serious cases, other villages may take advantage of it and cause an irreversible situation."

What Sarutobi Hiruzen said made sense, but even Danzo couldn't find any reason to refute it. He could only snort and blame: "If you were willing to listen to me, you wouldn't have caused this situation now."

"What happened is over, so don't bring it up again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to mention his fault, so he simply said: "Let us continue to discuss how to deal with the Aokiji problem."

"Whose fault do you think it is that it's like this?" Danzo stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted, "This is a dereliction of duty as a Hokage on your part."

The weakness that Sarutobi Hiruzen showed just now allowed Danzo to push forward again and again. He had to take a tough attitude to suppress it: "

"Don't be endless Danzo, don't forget, I am the Hokage now. I have many things to consider, and it is impossible to cover everything."

This sentence "I am the Hokage" was like Danzo's inner demon, causing him to suppress his anger, sat back down, and said angrily: "Humph, then how do you want to deal with it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned forward slightly, resting his arms on the table, crossing his palms near his mouth, his voice was low and his expression was solemn:

"First of all, we can no longer let Aokiji and Tsunade be together."

"That's easy to say. They have lived together for so long, how can they be separated so easily." Danzo said sarcastically: "And what reason do you plan to use to break up the two of them? Don't tell me that you plan to use your identity as a teacher. .”

Hiruzen Sarutobi was self-aware on how to break up the couple. Apparently Danzo misunderstood what he just said. He explained:

"That's not what I'm referring to."

Danzo glanced at him, waiting for him to explain.

"I plan to keep these two as separate as possible when performing missions in the future. At least I won't let Aoki Pheasant continue to obtain sufficient military merit."

The position of Hokage does not only require strength, but also requires everyone's recognition and sufficient contribution to the village.

In some key battles, if Aokiji is not sent to the field, then Aokiko's military achievements will not be accumulated. When he retires and the issue of electing the Fourth Hokage is concerned, Aokihiko can justifiably not be mentioned.

Danzo snorted, said nothing, did not refute, and accepted the proposal for the time being.

At this time, Xiaochun, who was sleeping next to him, asked a new question:

"Even if it is like this, it won't work. Don't forget the relationship between Aokiji and Tsunade."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, the relationship between Tsunade and Aokiji was indeed a very difficult issue.

This is not only because of the master-student relationship, but also because Tsunade seems to have a strong desire to become Hokage.

If she is elected then, it will be no different from Aoki's election.

After all, by that time, if nothing else happened, the two of them would have been married long ago, and they might even have children several years old.

There is no essential difference between an Uchiha being next to the Hokage and blowing the wind every day, and an Uchiha being directly elected as the Hokage.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I should have been more decisive, not to look forward and backward, and to understand Qing Pheasant directly, then there would not have been this troublesome matter that can be called a deadlock.

But the matter has come to this point, and it will no longer help to think about messy things.

"All in all, before we find a proper solution, let's take a step forward and take a look."

When he said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little bit lucky.

It is not impossible to expect Aokiji to be accidentally killed by a hostile ninja when he is on the battlefield, but the probability is relatively low.

Danzo was not very satisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's seemingly evasive answer: "Hiruzen, have you forgotten something more important?"

"important things?"

After being reminded, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his face darkened.

Danzo continued: “On the night of the Five-Tails, we thought it was Iwagakure who did it.

“In the end, when we found the Tsuchikage’s confrontation, Onoki denied it, saying it wasn’t them.

"That guy Onoki thought that someone was taking advantage of their village and planned to intensify the conflict in Iwagakure Village and Amagoba Village, so Iwagakure Village did not choose to join the war with us, but chose to form an alliance with us."

"And at that time, I don't know if you still remember a request he made."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I still remember it, how could I forget it?"

When the alliance was first formed, Onoki's request for the alliance was that Konoha should return the Five-Tails.

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not agree to this kind of thing.

After all, who knows if what Ohnoki said is true.

They had just used the Five-Tails to cause damage to Konoha. Konoha had finally sealed the Five-Tails, but they asked for the return of the Five-Tails with a shy face. How could such a good thing happen? Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally refused righteously.

Ohnoki seemed unwilling to be used at gunpoint, but wanted to get the five tails back.

So, the two sides were in a stalemate, and finally both parties took a step back.

That is, if the five-tailed jinchuriki cannot bear the death of the tailed beast in his body, Konoha will return the five-tailed jinchuriki.

Because each side takes a step back, Iwagakure will not form an alliance with Konoha directly, but will adopt an attitude of not helping anyone.

This was the deal struck.

However, a prerequisite for this is that Aokiji does not have Sharingan.

Everyone knows that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can control tailed beasts. If you have the Sharingan, controlling tailed beasts will be easy.

Iwagakure probably thought that Aokiji without the Sharingan would be defeated by the Five-Tails soon, so he agreed to this request.

However, now that Aokiji possesses the Sharingan, this deal will naturally not be established.

When the time comes, Iwagakure Village is afraid that Aokiji's strength will not grow beyond the borders. Maybe even if they know that they have been attacked by a gun, they will join the hostile forces and try every means to weaken Konoha's power.

And when the time comes, Konoha will have established one more ninja village at the level of a great nation. This is the outcome that Konoha never wants to see.

A Sharingan involves so many important things. Thinking of these, Sarutobi Hiruzen got a headache all over and wanted to lie down: "Let's keep the conversation like this for today. After two days, we will start again. A meeting."

After saying that, he stood up and planned to leave, as if to avoid the problem.

Danzo stood up immediately: "Hiruzhan, you must give a satisfactory answer later on about Aokiji having the Sharingan. Otherwise, I will use my method."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo deeply: "I will..."
