Chapter 92 Konoha

After sending the reply, Danzo couldn't wait to return to Konoha to conduct the next stage of the Wood Release experiment.

Only by cultivating a ninja with Wood Release bloodline, he and Orochimaru can win the battle for the fourth generation of Hokage and enjoy true freedom in Konoha Ninja Village

After spending a few days, Danzo returned to his root base, but saw the Anbu directly under the third generation in front of the root base.

The Anbu ninja waited for Danzo to return, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Danzo, the Hokage asked you to go to the Hokage Building."

Although Danzo was in a bad mood, he still followed.

He wanted to see what Sarutobi wanted to do.

After arriving at the Hokage Building, Danzo saw the third generation Hokage who was working. The third generation Hokage also raised his head and looked at his subordinate and part-time friend who had been away for several months, with sharp eyes.

Different from the old third generation Hokage more than ten years later.

At this time, the Third Hokage was only in his fifties. Although his physical fitness had declined somewhat compared to his peak period, his years of experience were enough to make up for the gap in physical fitness. The Third Hokage was still one of the top ninjas in the ninja world.

After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage said to Danzo:

"Danzo, the situation in the ninja world has changed a lot during your absence. At present, except for the unclear attitude of the Cloud Village, the Mist Village and the Rock Village have both sent the idea of ​​peace talks. The war will end soon."

"I plan to hold a senior ninja meeting in a month to hold the election of the Fourth Hokage."

"What does the Hokage election have to do with me? The last time I nominated myself for the Hokage, wasn't it rejected by you, Xiaochun and Yan?" Danzo snorted, and then said:

"Besides, I don't think young people like Minato Namikaze can manage the village well."

"Danzo, it's not a joke for us old leaves to run for Hokage again. Let the young people play more."

The Third Hokage chuckled. He knew that Danzo had always wanted to become Hokage, but he couldn't let Danzo become Hokage, not even the qualification to run.

On the one hand, it was because Danzo had been in the dark for too long and had been tainted with too much darkness.

On the other hand, Danzo was old, and even he had the idea of ​​retiring. It was enough for Danzo's peers to be advisory elders and participate in the village.

It was not easy to cultivate another ninja who was willing to fall into darkness.

He also knew that Danzo had been supporting Orochimaru's election for the fourth generation Hokage, and even had the idea of ​​cheating, but no matter what, he did not think that Orochimaru could defeat Namikaze Minato.

Minato's achievements in this ninja world war were too dazzling, even overshadowing his edge as Hokage.

After talking about the topic of the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage's face gradually became serious. He took out a scroll from the drawer and said:

"Okay, okay, this time I called you here to tell you that you are about to run for the Hokage, and there is another task that needs you to work hard."

"It's the request of the Daimyo of the Wind Country. They need us to fight against the wandering ninjas..."

"I don't want to bother you at this time, it's really..."

The Third Hokage hesitated, but Danzo had already understood what the Third Hokage meant. He directly snatched the scroll and glanced at it casually.

This mission is the announcement of the Daimyo of the Wind Country to fight against the wandering ninjas in the Wind City.

On the surface, it is to fight against wandering ninjas, but in fact it is to fight against the hidden people of the Sand Village who monitor the Daimyo in the Wind City. It can be said that this is a mission for Konoha and the Daimyo of the Wind Country to join forces to weaken the allies.

This kind of mission is generally impossible for a jonin to complete. The jonin who can complete it cares about reputation.

Only a ninja like him who is willing to live in the dark is willing to carry out it, and he has carried out similar missions countless times.

However, the Third Hokage asked him to carry out this mission on the surface.

In fact, it was a warning to him not to interfere in the Hokage election. He deliberately found a reason to send him away from the village. His mind was too vicious.

After thinking for a while, Danzo finally accepted the task.

He glanced at the Hokage's chair and left the office of the Third Hokage.

Many years ago, he was only one step away from the position of Hokage, and many years later, it was still the same. He had been waiting for decades to sit on this position.

But at the critical moment of the election for the Fourth Hokage, Sarutobi actually sent him away.

If he couldn't become Hokage through normal elections, could he follow Bai Ye and use those two methods to achieve his wish to become Hokage?

Thinking of this, Danzo was a little upset, but he still suppressed it.

Not to mention that he has lost most of his men now, even in the heyday of the Root, the power is far from comparable to the Anbu, and he has no other allies except Orochimaru.

The chances of winning are too low, so it's better to stay in the dark and survive in the form of the Root.

After taking control of Danzo, the Third Hokage walked to the rooftop, from where he could see most of Konoha's scenery.

Looking at the quiet and peaceful village, the Third Hokage felt a strong sense of pride.

Although the village suffered a lot of losses and lost many young and strong jonin because of his failed decision-making, many young people were trained and grew up.

Among them, he liked Minato and Kakashi the most.

The former has grown into the top powerhouse in the ninja world, enough to take on the responsibilities of Hokage, and the latter has also shown the ability to stand on his own. If he is well trained, he will be another Konoha White Fang.

However, although peace is coming, there are undercurrents in the dark.

Danzo who wants to become Hokage, the Uchiha clan who is eyeing the position of Hokage, and the Hyuga clan forces that are too powerful to be eliminated, all need to be dealt with slowly.

Weaken the ninja clan and strengthen the strength and influence of the Hokage Building.

It is his way to secure the position of Hokage and the only way to maintain the stability of the village. It is unknown whether Namikaze Minato can handle it.

If Minato can't do it...

The Third Hokage fell into deep thought and began to think about his relationship with the Fourth Hokage after retirement.

However, what even the Third Hokage didn't notice was that he was standing on the rooftop thinking about life, and was being seen by Obito and Black Zetsu.

After Black Zetsu persuaded Obito to become Madara's successor, they went to Konoha together.

On the one hand, he came to visit his former friend and get his own eyes back, and on the other hand, he came to investigate to see if there was a chance to weaken Konoha and get the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Before the Third Hokage's eyes swept over, Obito and Black Zetsu used Kamui to leave.

Standing in the Kamui space, Black Zetsu said to Obito: "Don't even think about it. Konoha will never give you the Nine-Tails Chakra. It's better to take Kakashi's Sharingan as soon as possible so that you can collect a pair of Mangekyō."
