Konohagakure Village
In the office of the Hokage Building.
Uchiha Itachi, who was guarding outside the office, could vaguely hear a noise coming from inside.
"Sarutobi! Whitebeard's actions have made the entire ninja world aware of his existence."
Shimura Danzo's face was gloomy as he slapped a bounty order for Whitebeard in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"A bounty of 100 million, almost comparable to you, the Hokage of Konoha!" Danzo said: "Such a high bounty for Whitebeard will definitely arouse the curiosity of various ninja villages."
"Once they investigate in certain directions, it won't take long to find out that Uzumaki Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
He didn't wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak.
He started to talk endlessly "Uzumaki Naruto can hide his Jinchuriki identity in the village. Once the power of the Nine-Tails leaks out, it can be sealed in time."
"But outside the village, once the power of the Nine-Tails inside him leaks out, even a blind man would know he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"
And another thing! His Shimura clan's casino in the Land of Fire was actually robbed by Whitebeard!
The damn Whitebeard... even forcibly demanded that this casino give him no less than 70% of the profits every year!
Danzo was very angry when he learned about this news a while ago.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen was puffing on his pipe indifferently.
The entire office was filled with smoke.
The pungent smell of second-hand smoke made Danzo frown
"Danzo, what do you want to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Danzo standing in front of him.
"Assassinate Whitebeard!"
Danzo's eyes flashed with killing intent: "Whitebeard and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki have established a bond that should not be established. He must die."
Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table with his pipe.
The table was information from a few days ago.
"Whitebeard was able to destroy the entire Kusagakure Village with his own power, and he was able to defeat me in the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "What confidence do you have that you can assassinate him?"
That's because you're old!
That's because you're useless!
That's because you should retire!
These three sentences flashed through Danzo's mind, but he didn't say them. Instead, he said: "The reason why Kusagakure Village was destroyed is because they are too weak. Even I can destroy Kusagakure Village overnight."
"And don't forget, Sarutobi, we are Konoha!" Danzo continued: "As long as you are willing to lend me a person, I guarantee that I can take Whitebeard's head."
"Who?" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't agree but asked instead.
Danzo spit out a name: "Uchiha Shisui!"
"...Shisui." Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes.
"His eyes?"
After a while,
He shook his head: "I feel this method is too extreme. This is not our style in Konoha. And Shisui is very special. He is a very special Uchiha."
"I don't want him to have an accident." Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "This young man concerns the future of Uchiha and the village."
Damn it!
Refused again!
Danzo gritted his teeth: "Sarutobi, you are too indecisive. Once Jinchuriki is used by Whitebeard, how can you face the Second Hokage? How can you face the First Hokage?"
"Danzo, What I say is what it is."
Even sitting in a wheelchair, Sarutobi Hiruzen said so: "Don't give orders to 'Root' without my permission."
"Sarutobi, every time I come to you with some suggestions, you refuse and refute me every time!"
Danzo could no longer restrain himself, exclaiming, "All my suggestions are in the best interest of Konoha! If you remain so indecisive, Sarutobi, you'll regret it!"
"Danzo, I am The Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said lightly.
BANG!
Danzo didn't bother to listen to what Sarutobi Hiruzen had to say next.
He turned around, opened the door, and slammed it.
The force was so great that the door almost broke.
Shimura Danzo, who had left the Hokage's office, suddenly noticed Uchiha Itachi standing by the door.
Although Itachi was wearing an Anbu mask at the moment, Danzo still recognized him.
And he paid close attention to Uchiha Itachi.
And understood him very well.
Danzo took a deep look at him again, but didn't say much.
He left the Hokage building directly.
When he got outside.
"I am the Hokage, I am the Hokage..."
The more Danzo thought about it, the angrier he got. His hands were shaking: "Damn Sarutobi, can you say anything else?"
In these short two or three months.
Danzo had gone to Sarutobi Hiruzen for various reasons, about the Uchiha clan, about Whitebeard, about Jinchuriki...
But without exception.
All he could hear from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth were those five words that left him speechless: "I am the Hokage".
"Sarutobi, if you don't want to do this kind of thing, I'll do it for you."
A hint of gloom flashed in Danzo's eyes.
His gaze turned in a certain direction, where the Uchiha clan was located: "Uchiha... Shisui!"
...
Meanwhile,
Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly watched Danzo's retreating figure.
Silently smoking his pipe.
Without making a sound
Until Danzo's figure completely disappeared from sight.
The smoke from his pipe engulfed half of Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
The half that was exposed showed a hint of worry, the half that was submerged carried a hint of a smile that ordinary people couldn't detect.
After all, some things are not suitable for him as Hokage to do.
Or even mention.
...
Land of Fire
A remote small town
A rebuilt casino looked very simple. Rather than calling it a casino, it was more like a large wooden shed that had just been set up.
"You're cheating! You must be cheating!" Tsunade, who had lost all but 20 Ryo of the money she had won from Whitebeard in less than half a month, was furious.
Her gnashing appearance made the person in charge of the casino sweat profusely and extremely nervous.
Because this casino had been hit....
by Whitebeard's "poisonous hand" not long ago.
That day also thoroughly made the people in the casino understand that when someone wants to break some rules...
They can't stop them.
"Tsu... Tsunade-sama..." The current temporary person in charge of this casino is not from the Shimura clan. Because that person from the Shimura clan is still in the hospital and hasn't come out yet.
"You are welcome to inspect our casino facilities. If you really find any cheating behavior, we are willing to compensate you double." The person in charge of the casino showed great humility.
"Hmph!" Tsunade didn't take his words seriously.
Because she was just venting her frustration earlier on.
"I don't believe it! Today I will use my last 20 taels to win your casino!" Just as Tsunade took out her last banknote, Shizune rushed in anxiously with Tonton in her arms.
Shizune who was holding Tonton quickly ran over to Tsunade's side.
"Tsunade-sama! Something big has happened!!"
"Hmm?" Tsunade was taken aback.
Before she could say anything, Shizune had already leaned over and whispered something into her ear.
Tsunade's eyes widened as she listened.
"What?
