Chapter 179 Finale
"Danzo-sama, where is the old man?"
When Orochimaru was telling how he deceived the evil god and thoroughly understood the "Blood of Death", Jiraiya, who had finished his work, also came to the Uzumaki mansion.
After Danzo ran to the Land of Whirlpools to retire, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had originally said he would help Jiraiya suppress the two advisors, also dropped the ball.
After throwing the Anbu to Jiraiya, he ran away with Lake Biwa.
He didn't care about his young son who had just graduated.
This made Jiraiya sigh at the cunning of these two old foxes.
"Huruzen and Biwako are eating seafood on an island in the Land of Water."
Danzo, who communicated with Hiruzen through letters every day, revealed the whereabouts of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"That stinky old man!"
When Jiraiya heard that his teacher was hiding in the Water Country and enjoying a good life, he thought of his own miserable life and was filled with indignation.
"How are Ohnoki and Ai and the others? Are they still behaving themselves?"
Although he had already stepped down and kept talking about handing over everything to the next generation, when Danzo saw Jiraiya, he couldn't help but ask about the affairs of the village.
"It's OK. Right now everyone is focusing on finding Jixian, and no one is trying to do anything tricky."
"Speaking of which, Lord Danzo, how did you know about Jigen's existence?"
Hearing Jiraiya's question, Orochimaru also pricked up his ears.
After taking over the Root, Orochimaru soon discovered that the so-called secret intelligence line mentioned by Danzo did not exist at all.
This made Orochimaru very curious about how the other party knew about Otsutsuki, Uchiha Madara and the Rinnegan.
Especially when Nagato was abducted from the Rain Country, it was not until Uchiha Madara died and Danzo brought his body to the Root that Orochimaru realized that Nagato's eyes were actually Madara's Rinnegan.
This instantly piqued the curious Orochimaru's interest in Danzo.
When he first joined the Root, he was curious about the changes in Danzo.
After all, before this, Danzo had always given people the impression of being a cold-blooded, ambitious and scheming person who treated his subordinates as consumables.
How could such a person suddenly change so much?
"Well, don't expect the older generation to answer everything for you. You have to figure out the answers to some things on your own."
A long time has passed since his rebirth, so long that even Danzo himself can't tell whether the memories of his previous life were reality or a dream.
but--
No matter what, this matter will rot in his heart for the rest of his life.
Orochimaru did not feel disappointed after hearing Danzo's explanation.
For scientists, the process of overcoming unknown problems is also an enjoyable thing.
[You are right, Master Danzo.]
Orochimaru was determined to study Danzo thoroughly, and his eyes became extremely strange when he looked at the other party.
"Huh? Am I the last one to arrive?"
Tsunade, with a blushing face and a bottle of wine in hand, walked in accompanied by Nawaki.
"I'm sorry, Master Danzo, I clearly told my sister that there was a dinner party tonight, but she still insisted on drinking."
Rope Tree clasped his hands together, looking apologetic.
"Tsunade-sama, why are you so drunk?"
Behind Tsunade and Nawaki, Uchiha Fugaku walked in with his two sons. Seeing Tsunade reeking of alcohol, Uchiha Fugaku looked surprised.
In the end, he held back and didn't say that he thought Tsunade was a drunkard.
"Hey, Uchiha, get out of the way."
Hinata Hiashi pushed Fugaku away without any hesitation.
"Father, why are you like this?"
Seeing her father being so rude, Hinata frowned and taught him a lesson.
Seeing that his daughter has become so strong now, Hinata Hiashi's anger rises again.
It is obvious that my daughter was just a soft and sticky little ball before she was 4 years old.
But ever since he came into contact with the Uchiha family, he has become what he is now!
"Brother, move aside, you are blocking me."
Just when Hiashi was about to attack, Hyuga Hizashi pushed him away rudely.
"Master Danzo, you are really back."
Seeing Danzo, Hyuga Hizashi, who had always regarded him as an idol, came up to him enthusiastically and asked about his well-being.
"Ah, Patriarch."
Hinata Yong embraced Uchiha Shinichi, and the two brothers walked into the house with joy on their faces. As soon as they entered the door, Hinata Yong saw Hinata Hiashi who was squeezed next to the shoe cabinet.
[How shameful, how shameful, one of my clansmen is actually arm in arm with Uchiha!!!]
Looking at the two people who simply said hello and walked towards the house, Hinata Hiashi's anger made him roll his eyes unconsciously.
"Huh, it's still as lively as ever."
Kakuzu appeared and helped Hyuga Hiashi regain his composure.
"Kakuzu-sama."
Facing Kakuzu, Hyuga Hiashi's attitude was very respectful.
During the Third Ninja World War, Hyuga Hiashi, who rushed to the battlefield with full of grief and indignation, received a lot of care from the other side.
"Oh, Hyuga boy, you are here too."
Seeing Hinata Hiashi, Kakuzu nodded as a greeting.
Behind Kakuzu, Kato Dan, who was obviously much older, walked in.
Seeing Kato Dan, all the ninjas from the Root stopped what they were doing and stood up respectfully.
"Instructor Duan."
They have sincere respect for instructor Kato Dan.
If Danzo is the backbone of the Root, then Kato Dan is the beacon that illuminates the steps forward for the Root members.
"Haha, everyone, sit down, sit down."
Seeing everyone's respectful eyes made Kato feel that all his efforts over the years were worth it.
"Tsunade-sama, my niece is in your care."
Coming in front of Tsunade, Kato Dan bowed slightly.
"Don't say that, Dan, Shizune is a very talented child."
With a slight smile, Tsunade signaled the other party not to take it too seriously.
Tsunade now has two capable assistants.
One is Shizune and the other is Nohara Rin.
Both of them are good kids.
Especially Nohara Lin, she has even reached the threshold of the Hundred Healings Technique.
As more and more visitors came, various familiar faces appeared in front of Danzo.
There is Hozuki Hozuki who is very grateful to Hozuki for pulling them out of the "Blood Mist Village", there is Hibiki who is grateful to the other party for giving him a job to realize his life value, and there is also Hoshigaki Kisame who has found a new bond.
Fortunately, the Uzumaki House is big enough to accommodate so many people gathering.
"This time, I finally didn't harm Konoha."
Looking at the people in front of him who were either happy, grateful, or serious, Danzo felt happy with confidence.
“I thought I could handle anything, so I did whatever it took to get to that position.”
"But the consequence of doing so would be to bring Konoha into the abyss."
“Although the Will of Fire is a very clichéd concept, it is the result of the hard work of generations of people.”
"Konoha has become the prosperous place it is today."
"The future is up to you!"
Danzo's voice was so soft that none of the ninjas present could hear it.
"Anyway, I will not deal with Jigen and Momoshiki. Your future is entirely up to you!"
