Chapter 25 Danzo: Hiruzen, there is already a thick barrier between you and me.

"I'm so sorry, our store is full."

The owner of a snack bar sent away Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo who wanted to eat here with a standard fake smile.

This is the fourth one I've visited. The boss of this one has a relatively good temper and is at least a little polite.

The previous one was cursing and spitting at their feet. If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't stopped him, Danzo Shimura would have fought with him.

“Isn’t there still room there?”

Shimura Danzo was furious and pointed at the empty seat over there.

He was a dignified Jonin of Konoha and the Hokage's bodyguard, but he was chased away even when he was having a meal.

Even a clay man would have some temper, not to mention that I am taking care of your business. In this situation, only the Ninja master can go to a restaurant every now and then. Ordinary people dare not be so extravagant. They are lucky enough to be able to eat their fill.

"The place is booked, and guests will be here soon."

The snack bar owner was already getting impatient. The two guys in front of him abandoned the Hokage, causing his sacrifice. They were cowards and deserters, unworthy of being Konoha's ninjas.

Want to eat here again?
Go eat shit!

"I'll wait here and see when the guest you mentioned will arrive!"

Danzo Shimura pushed away Sarutobi Hiruzen who was still trying to stop him, determined to seek justice here.

"That's enough! Do you really need me to explain it clearly?"

"I don't want your business!"

"You are all a bunch of deserters and cowards. You are not worthy of being Konoha's ninjas!"

"You are the ones who killed Hokage-sama!"

“Get out of here!!”

The snack bar owner didn't want to argue with them anymore and started cursing.

"What did you say?"

"I must teach you a lesson today!"

Shimura Danzo was so angry that he jumped up and down. This group of untouchables who only knew how to enjoy the protection of Konoha had no idea of ​​the danger of the situation at that time, and had no idea of ​​the greatness of their teacher Senju Tobirama's will of fire!
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly pulled Shimura Danzo. In Konoha, there are rules that ninjas cannot use force against civilians.

If you violate it, you will be punished by going to the Security Department. The Uchiha are not merciful people and you will not get out without suffering a heavy punishment.

What's more, it's at this critical juncture. If we enter Uchiha's territory, we may not be able to get out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot allow Shimura Danzo to do anything wrong.

"Why do you still want to hit someone?"

When the snack bar owner saw that Shimura Danzo was about to take action, he immediately raised his voice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are too conspicuous now. Some people have been watching them from a distance, and they instantly attracted a group of onlookers.

A group of indignant villagers began to criticize Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

coward!

traitor!

deserter!

Every word filled the ears of the two of them, and some even sent greetings to their parents and family. They took advantage of the fact that they were in numbers and were not afraid of Shimura Danzo getting angry.

The Uchiha have given special instructions. As long as these people dare to take action, they will be arrested and put into prison. Once they are in the Uchiha Security Department, there is no way they can get out, and there is no need to worry about retaliation afterwards.

Danzo Shimura's eyes were red and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Sarutobi Hiruzen was not feeling well either, his face was ashen, but he still had some rationality.

There would be no benefit in having a conflict with the villagers now. It would only put Uzumaki Mito in a difficult position and lower his opinion in her eyes.

They are just a group of villagers who are misled by public opinion. There is no need to get angry with them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen held Danzo Shimura's hand tightly, fearing that Danzo could not hold back and would use a few Wind Style Vacuum Balls on them.

"Let's go, Danzo, don't get involved with them." Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled Danzo Shimura out of the crowd, jogging all the way to an open space.

"Damn, damn!"

"This bunch of untouchables!!"

Danzo Shimura picked up a branch and whipped the weeds wildly to vent his anger. He whipped them dozens of times before he calmed down.

"Hiruzen, aren't you angry?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing beside him. Just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen had endured the insults from the villagers and silently endured the villagers' attacks without saying a word.

Shimura Danzo was left alone in the debate, but unfortunately he was defeated.

angry?

Of course I was angry. Being pointed at and insulted by a group of people, and it also involved my parents' family, anyone would be angry.

But getting angry is useless. The more you explain, the more excited they become and they think you are anxious!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not stupid. He has been warned by Uzumaki Mito that the Uchiha will use public opinion to defeat him.

Having been reminded, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be easily provoked by ignorant villagers and fall into the Uchiha's trap.

Maybe there were Uchiha ninjas hiding near the crowd, observing them in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to capture them and bring them to the Uchiha Guard.

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually guessed correctly on this point. The Uchiha really did hire someone to keep an eye on him, but it was not just the Uchiha who were keeping an eye on them.

Senju, Hinata, Ino-Shika-Chou and others have all sent people.

"Now is not the time to be angry."

"I have more important things to do. The shadow of a village won't be brought down by something like this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has begun to use the thinking of Hokage to restrain himself. If he wants to become a qualified Hokage, he must have the thinking of Hokage.

It was just some insult, but he was willing to accept it just to become Hokage.

Danzo Shimura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's confident appearance and felt an inexplicable fire in his heart.

Is the gap between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen already so huge?
The gap in strength can be overcome through hard work and practice, but the gap in mentality cannot be easily made up by hard work.

There was already a pathetically thick barrier between Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen, I will not lose to you!

Seeing that his good friend Sarutobi Hiruzen is already far ahead of him in terms of the overall situation, he will not give up so easily.

Danzo Shimura, who thought that he was no weaker than Sarutobi Hiruzen in his life, still believed that what was lacking between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen was just a little chance.

If Tobirama Senju had chosen him, he would not be worse than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Regret and unwillingness filled my heart.

"Danzo, let's practice."

"We can't waste such good time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not forget Uzumaki Mito's advice. She could help him deal with the Uchiha, but there was still the opponent Senju Momorama waiting for him.

He must practice hard and improve his strength as much as possible during this period. Uzumaki Mito is still helping him delay. The real test will come when Lord Tobirama's body is transported back to Konoha.

I must not let Teacher Tobirama down, Sarutobi Hiruzen vowed secretly.

At this moment, a young man was standing in front of the gate of Konoha Village.

He has black hair and a handsome appearance, and looks about 70% similar to Hashirama Senju.

Senju Momoma looked at the gate of Konoha. He should have been in a happy mood to return to the village, but now he felt uneasy, as if something terrible had happened in Konoha.

What had happened that made my mother rush me back to the village in such a hurry?
