Chapter 2518 Danzo’s Transformation

Latest website: Has your luck run out here?

Faced with the options that determined his future clearly placed in front of him, with no way to regret or leave any room, Danzo's face became increasingly gloomy, and such a thought flashed through his mind.

He knew very well that his luck should have run out by now.

And this makes the choice at hand even more important.

If he makes the wrong choice, he might be able to alert Takichiba and allow Taki Chiba to find an opportunity to deal with him. Or, his life will be lost in the assassination.

As for these two "eithers", although the first "either" is not as obvious as the second "either", it does not sound particularly critical, and there seems to be room for it. Just looking at this, one should abandon the first "either" corresponding to "Nobu's death is Taki Chiba's second warning" and choose the second option, which means "there is an assassin invasion", and at this moment the police station should be Some elites will find the assassin at all costs.

But, just the opposite.

If an assassin invades, there is room for change. After all, he himself is quite powerful. He can arrange a few guards and then use himself as bait to make a trap. If he fights hard, it is not without a glimmer of hope.

And if Taki Chiba is given a chance to deal with herself, then the outcome may be without any room for change.

First of all, he and Taki Chiba have been feuding for a long time. Although there has never been a conflict on the surface, even every confrontation was just verbal and there was no armed conflict. However, this does not mean that there are no conflicts or grudges.

For Danzo himself, this Taki Chiba is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to realizing his ambition. Regardless of whether there is a grudge or not, Danzo will always have to deal with this Taki Chiba.

As for Taki Chiba, he had intentions towards his teacher and had already touched his inverse scale. According to Taki Chiba's personality, even if he doesn't show up on the surface, he may not forget this hatred even after so many years.

Taki Chiba is a person who will remember people who treat him well for the rest of his life. Even if they betray him midway, he will still miss them. And if someone touches his reverse scale, or makes a grudge or enmity, it will definitely be a life-and-death situation.

However, the only person who really had a grudge against him was himself, and he basically didn't give Taki Chiba a chance to get angry, so this unrelenting situation did not occur.

To this opponent,

Danzo still has a clear understanding.

Perhaps, he didn't take this kid seriously at the beginning. Even though the Third Hokage valued this kid more and more day by day, he didn't feel the crisis, or how much pressure this Taki Chiba could put on him.

However, as day by day, the things this kid did became more and more shocking. He finally realized that among the people he had a grudge against, there was already someone who was completely beyond his control. Even if he wanted to get rid of it, , there is no way to get rid of it.

From that time on, he began to stand still. Even if there were many things that could gain greater power during the Third War, he did not choose to arrange them. He tried his best to avoid places where Taki Chiba was present. Stay away and don't express any opinions.

Even if there are some opportunities to deal with this Taki Chiba, they will be done in secret and will never be exposed to the public. Even the person who handles the matter must promise not to tell anyone about it and make it foolproof, even if he cannot kill this Taki. Chiba cannot reveal her plans to deal with him.

To be honest, Taki Chiba used a lot of tricks during his several missions.

However, it is a pity that even if the Third Raikage was led to him, this boy still did not die.

It was at that time that Danzo knew that he would not be able to kill Taki Chiba in a short time.

Later, he began to change his methods, from borrowing a knife to kill people, to collecting intelligence and observing Taki Chiba. Gradually, he got to know Taki Chiba more and more deeply, and he also understood that this kid would eventually deal with him.

Later, when the fourth generation came to power, he was completely marginalized and disheartened. He more or less stopped collecting intelligence on Taki Chiba.

Later, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Taki Chiba ran away to contain Uchiha Nobuhiko, and he began to actively collect information about Taki Chiba.

It's just that Taki Chiba hid it well. Even though he prepared carefully and had a good understanding of Taki Chiba, he still gained very little.

Until now, there hasn't been much gain.

And this is why, if Taki Chiba is given the opportunity to deal with him now, there will be no room for change.

Moreover, this is also why, when being chased by an assassin who can kill his cronies silently, he still has room for change, but given the opportunity for Taki Chiba to take advantage of, he has no room for change at all.

When this boy was still young, although there was some element of his own carelessness, he really had no way to deal with Taki Chiba.

Now this kid holds the power of Konoha Village, and at the same time, his strength has reached a level that almost no one can see through. If I give him a reason to deal with me, then I am afraid that I will really be doomed.

To be honest, this was due to the frustration he felt during that period. He spent his whole life chasing his best friend, the young man who stood in the sunshine and told himself about the same ambitions as himself, but he never caught up with him in his life. , always being crushed by him.

However, his best friend was so outstanding, whether as Hokage or as a best friend, he had no chance.

As time went by, maybe because he had been in the dark world for a long time, or maybe because of the resentment that made him so bright, he became more or less surly in his work, and gradually developed a bit of willfulness. habit.

Over time, between this surliness and stubbornness, he gradually lost sight of many things that he should have seen. Even because of these inability to see, he gradually forced himself into the abyss of marginalization.

If he really continues like this, I'm afraid he will lead himself astray, and ultimately he may not be able to stay in Konoha.

And it was precisely because I was discouraged and wanted to retire. During that period, I didn’t have to do anything. I just thought about how to live the next days, or in other words, how to wait for death. Every day, I only thought about how to write my resignation and how to arrange these trainings. During the days when he was a root member, he suddenly discovered that he seemed to have been doing a kind of useless work for most of his life. He seemed to be acting out of a will to not lose to his close friends, and he was acting more and more sophisticated because of the accumulated experience. , However, the heart is still like a child, naive and simple. They are always doing things that they think are great and useful, but in fact they are all things that are not beneficial to their own goals and lack consideration and room for improvement.

Not only did he make many enemies, but his behavior gradually became unsightly, almost ruining his chance of rising to the bright side of the village.

In other words, for most of his life, he thought he was giving everything to his ambitions, but in fact, it was all in vain.

Even, on the contrary, it makes yourself farther and farther away from your ambitions.

Gradually, the focus of his thinking changed from how to wait for death to thinking and reflecting on his previous life.

And unknowingly, while thinking and reflecting, he actually began to compare his thoughts and actions with the words and deeds of Taki Chiba that he had known since childhood, as well as the thoughts that he speculated belonged to Taki Chiba.

Later, after this period of silence, he suddenly discovered that this Taki Chiba seemed to have the feeling of staying out of the situation and thinking about what he had experienced.

Moreover, he thought about it for himself. This way of thinking can see the context of things more clearly, and can also see more information and possibilities from more limited intelligence.

At that moment, he seemed to know why Taki Chiba was so resourceful that he often brought various surprises to people in ordinary situations.

Sometimes, it's not because Taki Chiba can always find places that the enemy can't pay attention to, but because after being too invested in something, the only thing left in front of people's eyes will be this thing, what they see. , and this is the only thing left. In this way, many of the scenery that could have been seen will be ignored.

Taki Chiba uses these originally visible scenery to create an unexpected feeling.

It's not that Taki Chiba has no clue, but that Taki Chiba just saw something that was ignored and took advantage of it.

And there were several times when I lost the entire chess game in the hands of Taki Chiba because I placed too much emphasis on one chess piece.

It even affected the subsequent chess games, with each step leading to a disadvantage with no way to turn around.

At that time, when he understood, he smiled.

He smiled sarcastically.

I have been busy for most of my life, but I am still standing still, or even going backwards. I am still complacent, thinking that I have so much power, and thinking that I am getting closer to my goal.

Now it seems that it is just naive and ignorant.

And at that time, suddenly, the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, as if great luck had arrived. He did nothing and was just thinking about how to retire. Suddenly, his marginalized status was elevated to that of the right person. Konoha is of great importance.

Yes, very important.

At that time, in order to stop the Nine-Tails, Konoha's elite could be said to have done everything possible, but the news was much more serious than what was actually released. Otherwise, how could the Third Hokage compromise with Kumogakure or even ask for peace?

At that time, it could be said that half of the upper-class elites in Konoha were elites from his roots, and the Fourth Hokage had also passed away.

It can be said that he didn't do anything and yet he was on the same level as the Hokage.

Later, there was also a situation where Taki Chiba left and had to contain Uchiha Nobuhiko.

This can be said to be a golden pie falling from the sky.

He was originally disheartened, but he instantly felt that this was his destiny, and the fire of ambition that had been extinguished began to burn brightly again.

However, this time, he did not act rashly, but learned from the experience and completely changed his thinking.

Then, he came to the conclusion that he could not compete for the seemingly vacant position of Hokage at this time, but must spend this dangerous period with the village safely.

Otherwise, what will greet him may be the anger of the third generation Hokage who is pressing and the various methods of Taki Chiba.

After that, he quietly assisted the Third Hokage from behind with a low attitude of resignation. What surprised him was that he and the Third Hokage, who had already reached the point of being at odds with each other, actually cooperated so well. , in a short period of time, the village began to regain its vitality.

At that time, he was invited to attend a meeting about the Uchiha clan. He knew that this was the signal sent by the Third Hokage to him.

During this period of cooperation, whether the Third Hokage was thinking about old friendships or felt that he had changed his mind, finally, after the Fourth Hokage took power, he once again entered the room used to make important decisions.

Moreover, he participated in something that has benefited him the most so far.

A meeting on the issue of the Uchiha clan’s rebellion!

This time, for him who has already received Orochimaru's olive branch, it is undoubtedly another great thing.

Moreover, it was the Uchiha clan who took the initiative to rebel, and it was even confirmed news.

At that time, the Third Hokage, who was not aware of the Uchiha clan after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, recommended using Itachi Uchiha to monitor the Uchiha clan and explain to the Third Hokage the issue of the status change of the Uchiha clan when the upper class elite of the village was greatly damaged. The move was considered correct.

Because the problem of the Uchiha clan was brought up by this Uchiha Itachi.

At that time, Orochimaru, who was on the line with him, revealed the research on the Sharingan and Hashirama cells that had already achieved success before.

At that moment, he knew that his real opportunity had come!

Then, he insisted on killing the Uchiha clan who was already preparing to rebel.

And he also knew that Koharu and Mito Menyan, who had moved to another dormitory, would definitely agree with him and stand firmly on his side, even if he didn't explain anything.

Even the Third Hokage will definitely agree in the end.

Because at that time, Konoha was actually in the midst of internal and external troubles. If the Uchiha clan really rebelled, Konoha would actually be unable to resist.

Even if they can resist, there is no telling who will win in the end, but Konoha Village is in a state of collapse, and it is almost a nine out of ten that they will be removed from the Great Ninja Village.

And in that battle against the rebellion, with the help of Orochimaru, he finally got the power he dreamed of.

For the first time, he felt superior to his best friend and old rival.

Whether in terms of strength, politics, or wisdom.

However, despite gaining the power he dreamed of, he became more and more low-key. Sometimes he even declined invitations from decision-makers, acting as if he would not care about major events that threatened the survival of the village, such as the rebellion of the Uchiha clan. Will participate in decision-making.

Even, to avoid suspicion.

and, expressed his determination to only work on the dark side.

It was precisely because of his current mentality that he could clearly see the fork in front of him.

If it had been before, he would probably have only seen this as the second warning given to him by Taki Chiba, and would never have imagined that there was an assassin level.

At that time, I am afraid that it will give Taki Chiba another opportunity to deal with herself, and there will be the hidden worry of assassination.

"That's all, let's take a look at the order letter Taki Chiba gave me first."

However, at this time, he did not intend to dwell on this issue anymore. Since he was not sure now, he would deal with other things first, which might be helpful to this matter.

After muttering to himself, he slowly opened the order book in his hand.

"impossible!"

However, after he opened it and swept it, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up. With a roar, perhaps he stood too fast and too fiercely, but the main seat he was originally sitting on suddenly stood up. As he stood up, he fell down.

"Impossible! How did he know! Impossible!"

Then, there was the sound of horror that he couldn't hold back.
