Chapter 1 I, Danzo, am back again!
In response to the requests of many book lovers, a brain storage area has been set up.
【Brain Storage】
……
"You are the leaves bathed in sunlight, and I am the roots in darkness."
Feeling his vitality slipping away, Shimura Danzo recalled his life like a revolving lantern in his mind.
"Hey, Hiruzen. To you, I am—"
The scene in my mind finally stopped at two innocent teenagers.
"Am I dead?"
Looking at his transparent body, Danzo was unable to adapt for a moment.
Looking around, there was nothing but white and the square screen in front of me.
"Ok?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes, and something seemed to be playing on the screen.
"That's, Kyuubi-chan?!"
Accompanied by the barrage of comments, the content on the screen started from Naruto's enrollment to the death of Otsutsuki Isshiki.
"I never expected that everything I did would eventually become the straw that broke the camel's back for Konoha."
After watching the video, Danzo was horrified to find that it seemed that behind every bad thing, there was his own shadow.
Even after the Ninja World War ended, his subordinates were still causing trouble.
Moreover, whenever he appears in a scene in the video, there are always various comments of contempt.
"It seems that I was really wrong."
Even though he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, but as the comments said, after Hiruzen stood up before him, he had no chance of becoming Hokage in this lifetime.
What he had done as the Dark of Konoha was nothing more than the incompetent rage of a cowardly conspirator.
Danzo's face became complicated as he recalled Hiruzen's sad expression when he learned of his death.
"You are such a coward, Hiruzen! It is because you indulged me time and time again that all this happened!"
What do those words "knocked onto" mean?
It seemed like every time when Hiruzen and I were on the same screen, this kind of barrage of comments would appear.
Also, what does "shadow, regret, bang" mean?
"If I could do it all over again, I would walk in the sunshine and never lean on darkness again!"
Danzo let out a cry from his soul.
Then, his eyes went dark.
"You're going to set up an 'ANBU Training Department'?"
Such a familiar voice.
Is this, Hiruzen's voice?
When I opened my eyes again, I was greeted by a blinding light.
At this moment, a man was facing the sun with his back to her.
"Is this the Hokage's office?"
This familiar scene, yes, I am standing in the Hokage's office.
The man in front of him was, without a doubt, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Danzo looked at his best friend in front of him with some disbelief.
Moreover, his arms and eyes were intact, and his body was filled with chakra...
There is no doubt about it, this is exactly Konoha from more than 40 years ago!
Unexpectedly, God really gave me another chance!
Danzo had a lot of thoughts at this moment.
Hiruzen frowned when he didn't get a response from the person behind him for a long time.
At this time, the Hidden Rain Village was in constant action, and his best friend used this as an excuse, bluntly stating that the current Anbu were unable to fully protect the village, and demanded the establishment of an "Anbu Training Department" to protect Konoha.
Ever since he became Hokage, the other party has been constantly making small moves.
Considering their years of relationship, Hiruzen didn't want to make things too awkward.
But now, the other party's actions have obviously touched his bottom line.
Did you also bring Yan and Xiaochun along...
Glancing at the two advisors sitting there indifferently, Hiruzen felt a little headache for a moment.
"Ah, yes, Hiruzen."
He forced himself to calm down from the joy of resurrection, but there was still some excitement in his words.
After searching carefully in his mind, Danzo quickly remembered what he should do at this moment.
It was on this day that he brought together Yan and Koharu to put pressure on Hiruzen to establish their own armed force, "Gen", in the name of "Anbu Training Department".
Finally, under pressure, Hiruzen agreed to his request.
Perhaps it was from this moment that I gradually became a dirty dark being.
However, Danzo still decided to form the Root.
However, the roots this time are somewhat different from those in the previous life.
"Why? The current Anbu are selected from the elites of ninja schools and major families in accordance with the teacher's design. There is nothing wrong with this set of rules."
Although he had vaguely guessed Danzo's purpose, Hiruzen did not intend to expose him directly, but instead brought up the Second Hokage to force him to give up.
"You are the Hokage. The Hokage is destined to be bathed in light. Try not to let your hands be tainted by darkness."
This is how I responded to others in my previous life.
Danzo copied his reply.
"Aren't you afraid that you will be labeled a sinister and cunning villain in the future? Don't forget Hiruzen. You don't have the strength of Tobirama-sensei. You are destined to not be able to control the entire village as easily as he can."
"That's right, Hiruzen. Konoha is not only filled with light, but also with darkness that cannot be illuminated. Now that Danzo is willing to take on the responsibility, you should help him."
The two consultants also chimed in.
Hiruzen fell silent.
Indeed, compared to the second generation, I am much more immature.
But because of me, I let my best friend bear the darkness of the village...
"Anyway, you just need to sign your name on this document, and leave the rest to me!"
Danzo took a few steps forward to Hiruzen, took out the documents from his arms and placed them on the table.
"call--"
Seeing the other party's tough attitude, Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and finally chose to compromise.
[Sure enough, you are still so naive, easily compromising with the other party without crossing the bottom line. ]
There was a complicated look in Danzo's eyes.
[Hiruzen, you are not suitable for the position of Hokage. ]
【But this time, I don't want to pull you down from this position. 】
Reaching out to take the documents, Danzo turned around, pushed open the door, and left without looking back.
Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Mitomonen En and Utane Koharu also stood up and said goodbye to Hiruzen.
"Hey, teacher, is it really the right choice to give the position of Hokage to me?"
As the door was gently closed, Hiruzen turned around again and stared at the photo of Senju Tobirama on the wall, lost in thought.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the Hokage's residence, two ninjas immediately appeared in front of Danzo.
"Danzo-sama, has the Hokage-sama agreed to your request?"
The two ninjas were Yamanaka Yoshi and Aburame Shiichi.
They were also subordinates that he had recruited before establishing his roots.
"Well, he has agreed."
"You guys go home and wait for orders. Gather at the south end of the village at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to select new members for the organization!"
"Yes! Lord Danzo."
After sending the two people in front of him away, Danzo began to think about the members of the first generation of Root.
At this point in time, if I remember correctly, the strong man in the village -
The most famous are the young "Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo and the "Konoha Three Ninjas" who are just beginning to emerge.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru...
The Second Ninja World War had not yet begun, and at this time none of them had obtained these titles.
[Orochimaru should still be in a relatively normal state at this time. ]
Should I ask Hiruzen for him in advance and correct this guy's thinking?
or......
The Uchiha clan...
“Hmph, hmph…”
Danzo couldn't help but smile.
Just now, he had a very good idea.
