The place was a bit silent for a while. Kakashi looked at Sandaime quietly, waiting for an answer.
Just looking at the hesitation of Sandaime, Kakashi actually already know the answer.
Sandaime has always been too tolerant towards Danzo.
Sandaime sighed and said: "Kakashi, you have your own bond, and so do I. Now I'm standing in front of you not as Konoha's Sandaime Hokage, but as Danzo's companion. As Danzo's companion, I beg you, please let it end here."
Kakashi and Danzo were both surprised. They didn't expect Sandaime to actually say this.
"Hiruzen, you…"
Danzo was speechless for a while, looking at this old friend who is no longer young, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Kakashi was also surprised and said: "Sandaime-sama…"
"Kakashi, I am sorry about Shisui. If I found out about Danzo's thoughts earlier, maybe this won't happen. You are reckless for Shisui. So far, I understand about you wanting to revenge Shisui, but to me, Danzo is like Shisui to you."
Sandaime said with a smile as he was recalling his old days.
In fact, the relationship between Danzo and Sandaime is not just a normal friendship.
Danzo and Sandaime can be called rival.
After all Sandaime and Danzo grew up together, they also both have the same teacher, and also at the same team.
Two equally talented people appreciate each other and compete with each other.
It's just that Danzo failed to get the Hokage position, so he was resentful and always wanted to use his own way to prove that the Nidaime Hokage's choice back then was wrong.
Proving his own action is the best for Konoha.
He fell into the darkness, and the darkness shrouded him. He was arbitrarily and self-centered, thinking that everything he did was right. The slight difference between him and the others is the fault of others, not him.
Those who disobey him are rebel!
In fact, Danzo to Sandaime is like Sasuke to Naruto.
It's just that Sandaime is not Naruto, and there is no such thing as Sandaime trying to get Danzo out of Darkness like Naruto get Sasuke out of Darkness.
Danzo is not Sasuke, whose his heart is only full of revenge.
The four are similar but not the same.
Kakashi thought for a moment and said: "Sandaime-sama, I have the right to kill Danzo. But today, you are trying to protect Danzo, whether it is out of respect for Hokage, or respect for my Sensei, I will let this end here."
"Kakashi, thank you very much."
After hearing Kakashi's reply, Sandaime was relieved.
It is not that Sandaime fears Kakashi, but Kakashi is someone who will become the future pillar of Konoha in Sandaime's mind.
Kakashi shook his head and said, "It's alright Sandaime-sama. After all, you didn't declare me to be a rebel so it was already really good to me."
Kakashi killed so many people today. So even if Sandaime directly declared Kakashi as a rebel, there is nothing wrong with it, but Sandaime did not, obviously understand Kakashi's behavior.
This kind of understanding is not as simple as imagined.
Sandaime was also once a young man too, and he knows how angry he will be when his friend died.
Therefore, after seeing Kakashi's action, Sandaime can understand and didn't get angry at Kakashi.
The Root members are all orphans, or the clan's abandoned children. So no one cares about their life and death.
Even if so many people die today, no clan would come to trouble Kakashi.
This is the shinobi of the Root. There is no past, no future, and no emotion.
Moreover, Kakashi did not intend to do anything against Konoha.
Because before he knew it, Kakashi has bonded with a lot of people in Konoha.
Naruto, Karin, Jugo, Tenzo, Shisui, Guy, Kurenai, Jiraiya, Asuma and even Sandaime.
These people, these emotions, these bonds, are things that Kakashi gradually acquired after living through this world.
In this case, Kakashi won't never betray Konoha.
Kakashi has already passed his rebellious age.
He has his own persistence and bottom line, so today he tries to kill Danzo.
But he also has his own concerns and reluctance, so he is now ending this thing here.
If he continues to get revenge, there is no benefit to himself.
Killing Danzo was a pleasure for a while, but Kakashi was far from willing to bear the cost.
In this world full of killings, all his warmth is here, so how can he leave?
He is no longer a bystander who just passed through, but a participant.
These emotions really existed in his heart, instead of the original vague memory.
Taking Danzo's life is not worth enough for him to leave this place.
Moreover, this hatred is for Shisui, and he should let Danzo lives for now and let Shisui get his revenge himself.
Danzo is no longer worth anything in Kakashi's eyes.
"Hiruzen! Kakashi is betraying the village! You mustn't hide it!"
"Danzo, this time you are the wrong one. How could you attack Shisui who is Kagami's grandson?"
Danzo shook a bit after hearing this. Uchiha Mirror, a very old name, so long that Danzo can't remember for a while, but his name can't be forgotten.
"Kakashi, let's stop this thing here."
Kakashi did not speak and disappeared from this place.
For a moment, the Valley of Fire appeared empty, and the shocking battle just now seemed to cease to exist.
The remaining Root members all sighed in relief.
The death god finally left, and the threat of death seems disappeared at this moment.
"Danzo, go back. You won't be able to take over the Root's affairs for the time being."
"Hiruzen, you!"
"Don't say anything. I have already decided."
After Sandaime finished speaking, he turned and left.
Only Danzo is left unwilling.
At this moment, the remaining strength of the Root is not enough to fight against Sandaime, not to mention that Hokage has absolute power.
Danzo's power is given by Sandaime, so he naturally can take it back if he wants to.
Without Sandaime's approval, Danzo's power won't be able to get strong.
Even if his own strength is good, he is still not as strong as Sandaime.
Looking at the corpse scattered on the ground, and the remaining Root member, Danzo's heart is feeling complicated.
'Am I really wrong?
No, I am not wrong!'
Danzo's eyes that were in confusion just now regained its firmness.
'How can the real heroes' beliefs shaken so easily?'
"Danzo-sama, what should we do next?"
"Go back to the village, but you guys should deal with these bodies first."
"Yes! Danzo-sama."
Danzo looks at his missing right arm and his mind is constantly thinking.
"It seems that it is time to use the deal with Orochimaru. I don't know if the Hashirama's cells can be used by me."
Danzo secretly thought in his heart, and then he took his cut off right hand, and left the Valley of Fire.
