In any case, the death of Sakumo Hatake had always been an insurmountable obstacle in his heart. It was because of his leniency towards Danzo that Sakumo Hatake ultimately died.
Perhaps, if Sakumo Hatake hadn't died, the Third Shinobi World War wouldn't have happened.
But correspondingly, the position of Fourth Hokage would definitely belong to Sakumo Hatake.
"Oh—" Qifeng suddenly revealed a look of realization, "I understand, you mean it's okay for Danzo to kill me, but now that I want to kill Danzo, I've become a sinner, is that right?"
"No, I don't mean that. This time, everything is my fault. I will..."
"You will what? Third Hokage?" Qifeng rudely interrupted him, "Don't tell me that you, as the current Hokage who controls the Anbu, didn't know that Danzo and his Root ninjas appeared here. Maybe you don't know what he wants to do, but I think I didn't hide my whereabouts from you, right?
Or are you saying that you wanted to see us fight to the finish before stepping in to stop us, so as to implement your way of balance?
Hmm?"
Several questions in a row left Hiruzen speechless.
"Hiruzen..."
At this time, Minato Namikaze also stepped forward, unable to resist wanting to dissuade him.
Clang!
Qifeng directly raised the Iron Sand Longsword in his hand, his face serious. The anger towards Hiruzen was gone, but he seemed to be suppressing even greater anger, "Minato, don't stop me. We are brothers, but you should know my temper.
Since Danzo dared to attack me in public today, perhaps your jinchuriki girlfriend will be his next target. I wonder what choice you would make in that situation?"
Kushina Uzumaki?
Wasn't it because Danzo leaked information to Obito that Obito attacked Konoha and released the Nine-Tails when Kushina was giving birth?
Minato Namikaze paused.
Because he knew that Qifeng wasn't talking nonsense. With Danzo's style, if there was no one to suppress him, he might really do such a thing for the sake of the Hokage position.
Chapter 205: The Death of Danzo
"Has Danzo become unpopular?"
In a secret underground base somewhere in Konoha.
Orochimaru, who was conducting a secret experiment with Qifeng, suddenly had a feeling.
He stopped his movements, looked in the direction of the Konoha Orphanage, and couldn't help but flash a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Orochimaru, of course, knew about Danzo's obsession.
It's just that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been protecting him before, but this time, it seems that no one can protect him anymore.
"Hiruzen" is indeed bold, actually wanting to kill Danzo in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hehe..."
"Hey, Orochimaru, don't be distracted when the experiment is only halfway done," Qifeng, wearing a white coat next to him, couldn't help but remind him.
What's there to laugh about? Killing Danzo is just a small matter.
On the other side.
Qifeng held the Iron Sand Longsword, looking at Danzo who was fleeing everywhere with a smile. No matter where he fled, the Iron Sand would block his path.
As for the ninjas of Root, they were now completely blocked by the Uchiha clan ninjas brought by Fugaku Uchiha.
The Uchiha's attitude was also very clear, which was to stand on the same line as Qifeng.
"Fugaku, what do you Uchiha mean by this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a gloomy face.
He really couldn't easily step in to stop Qifeng, because they had all seen earlier that Danzo had attacked Qifeng first, but he really didn't want to see his old friend die at the hands of his own people.
Fugaku Uchiha didn't make a move, standing not far from Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his arms crossed, he explained:
"I'm sorry, Third Hokage, these are all Lord Hiruzen's Root subordinates. I have already ordered them not to move. This is my responsibility as the head of the Uchiha clan, which cannot be shirked. When things are over, I will take the initiative to resign from the position of head of the Konoha Military Police Force to give everyone an explanation."
"You!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.
But he was helpless.
If it were really according to Fugaku Uchiha's words, what was happening now was the Root ninjas belonging to Danzo fighting with the Root ninjas belonging to Qifeng, which sounded reasonable.
But everyone present was not a fool, how could they not understand the situation?
The Uchiha were clearly trying to use Qifeng's hand to get rid of Danzo, who was the biggest trouble for them.
At the same time, they also conveniently resigned from the hot potato of the Konoha Military Police Force.
Killing two birds with one stone!
Swoosh swoosh—
At this time, more and more Konoha ninjas gathered because of the commotion here.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, Ino-Shika-Cho, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, large and small family ninjas, ordinary ninjas, all rushed over.
"Old man, what's the situation?" Jiraiya couldn't help but ask when he saw the chaotic situation on the scene.
"Hiruzen, what happened? Why are you not stopping 'Hiruzen' from chasing Danzo?" Koharu Utatane's voice was the loudest.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had a gloomy face and did not speak.
Minato next to him explained: "Just now, Elder Danzo gathered Root ninjas and used the Four Violet Flames Formation to trap Hiruzen, wanting to kill him. In the end, he didn't succeed, so it became like this..."
Jiraiya: "..."
So, what should we do now?
Stop it?
Or watch?
It seems that neither is very reasonable, right?
"Didn't he fail to kill him? Could it be that he really wants to kill Danzo?" Koharu Utatane jumped up.
Danzo is their biggest backer for balancing the Hokage's power. If Danzo dies, wouldn't Konoha be the Hokage's one-man show in the future?
