Outside Konoha Village.

Underground, root headquarters.

Two Anbu brought a blindfolded ninja to the bottom

“Lord Danzo, brought by Kouta Sakamoto.”The ANBU ninja said respectfully to the room.

“Hmm.”

Danzo’s deep voice came from the room.

The two Anbu removed the black cloth strip from Sakamoto Kouta’s head and opened the wooden door. < /span>

Sakamoto Kouta looked at Danzo sitting upright in the room and asked doubtfully:”Danzo-sama, I wonder why you asked the ANBU to bring me here?”

“You must have heard of the recent rumors in the village, right?”

Danzo said calmly

“yes! Sakamoto Kota looked a little excited:”Sakumo gave up the mission to save me. The failure of the mission is not his fault. You should not treat him like this. I am willing to take full responsibility!””

“You only see the surface of the problem, you are so naive!”

“What?!”

“How do you think the information about the failure of such a top-secret mission was leaked?”

“Could it be someone did it on purpose?……”

“Yes, I was the one who spread the information.”

Danzo said in a deep voice.

Sakamoto Kouta looked in disbelief:”Danzo-sama, why would you do such a thing?!”

Danzo:”I am saving him ”

“Save Sakumo?”Sakamoto Kou was too confused. In order to save Sakumo, he leaked information and exaggerated the facts so that everyone could denounce him?

“Sakumo’s reputation in the village is very high, surpassing that of the Sannin. He is the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage. I have always been very optimistic about him. Danzo explained

“Can……”

Danzo waved his hand:”You don’t understand, Sakumo has no intention of competing for Hokage, but both the Uchiha and Hinata clans hope that he can become the fourth generation, and many jounin also support him. < /span> It’s Orochimaru! And you know the third generation’s favorite candidate for the fourth generation Who is it?

Even if he doesn’t want to go up, everyone will lift him high and push him upward.

“you mean……”Sakamoto Kouta’s eyes widened:”Impossible, the Third Generation is not such a person!”

“Three days have passed since the information was leaked. Many ninjas in the village are condemning Sakumo, and public opinion has gradually gotten out of control.

As long as the third generation stands up and expresses his position publicly, even if Sakumo is severely punished later, public opinion will be quickly controlled.

But the third generation chose to remain silent……You don’t understand what this means, right?”

“No! how so? Sakumo is a ninja who has truly inherited the will of fire. How could he do this to him?”Sakamoto Kouta felt that the image of the third generation in his heart, which had always been majestic and tall, had cracks and was on the verge of collapse.

“This is also a good thing for Sakumo. In order to prevent him from becoming a victim of the political struggle between Uchiha, Hinata and the Third Generation, it is better to take this opportunity to suppress his reputation and completely withdraw him from the competition of the Fourth Hokage. With Sakumo’s abilities, it was only a matter of time before he could erase his stigma and regain his reputation.”

Danzo continued

“……”Sakamoto Kouta fell into silence

“I came to you to ask you to stand up and let Sakumo know that he was wrong to abandon the mission. In this way, the third generation will take this opportunity to give him a certain punishment. Even if this matter passes like this, the public opinion will dissipate immediately. Otherwise, if things continue to develop like this, no one knows what will happen.”

“But Sakumo……” Sakamoto Kouta struggled in his heart. If he stood up and accused Sakumo, would he still be a human being?

Abandoning an ‘important mission’ that only Sakumo knew about the mission content, what losses did it bring to the village?

Danzo asked:”You just said you would take full responsibility! In addition to Uchiha Munehito, your other two teammates in Sakumo’s team have already agreed. Why are you still hesitating? ?”

“Please give me some time to think about it.”Sakamoto Kouta was in a state of confusion.

“You can go directly to Sandai and see if he is willing to stand up and speak for Sakumo. It’s not impossible to even tell him what I told you.”

Danzo said with determination.

He has been teammates with the Third Generation for decades and knows the Third Generation better than anyone else.

Since the third generation did not stand up and express his position at the first moment when public opinion was fermenting, he will definitely remain silent later.

This is the consistent style of the third generation. Many times he turns a blind eye. Only one eye.

After all, he is paving the way for his beloved disciple Orochimaru.

The current third generation must be caught in a hypocritical struggle in his heart, and feels a little sorry for doing so. Sakumo.

But as long as Sakamoto Kouta dares to go to the third generation, Danzo can predict the third generation’s expression and words

“Someone is coming.”

Danzo said expressionlessly, and two ANBU ninjas quickly appeared outside the room

“Send him out.”

The ANBU ninja blindfolded Sakamoto Kota again and took him out of the headquarters ……

In the elegant courtyard paved with stones, Sakumo sat on the porch, carefully wiping the chakra dagger in his hand, as if it was not a weapon, but a cherished companion.

“Father, we have a visitor.”Kakashi came to the yard and looked at Sakumo with a calm expression. The anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were also diluted a lot.

There was obviously a huge momentum outside, and everyone was condemning his father and asking him to do it. I am responsible for the failure of the mission. Many words were unpleasant to the ears, but my father remained as steady as a mountain, as if he was not affected at all.

Sakumo nodded and put the chakra sword back into its sheath. , handed it to Kakashi:”Kakashi, go make tea”

“Hmm!”Kakashi sent the chakra knife back to Sakumo’s room, and then ran towards the kitchen, his footsteps much lighter than when he came.

Bai Yu and Orochimaru came to the living room and saw Sakumo

“You are here, take a seat.”

Sakumo smiled slightly.

Bai Yu and Orochimaru were both stunned and knelt down on the mat.

Soon , Kakashi walked in with a tray, put tea for the three of them, and then left

“Sakumo, regarding this matter, I……”Orochimaru looked hesitant.

Sakumo raised his hand and interrupted him:”I know that you don’t know about this matter. Although I am your biggest obstacle to becoming the Fourth Hokage, you are definitely not that kind of person.”

Seeing that Shuomao had seen the problem so thoroughly, Bai Yu stopped pretending and went straight to the point:

“I am afraid that someone deliberately leaked information in order to suppress your reputation.”

Sakumo nodded, with a look of disappointment on his face:”Actually, this is completely unnecessary. I never thought about becoming Hokage, I just want to be a sword for Konoha< /span>”

“What task did you give up? Why are the rumors outside denouncing it, but when asked about the content of the mission, no one knows anything about it.” Bai Yu then asked.

Sakumo frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:”We were ordered to ambush the Third Kazekage ”

“What?!”Bai Yu’s face was startled, and he lowered his voice subconsciously. Are the higher-ups out of their minds?

Orochimaru also looked in disbelief.
