The review video ended, and then came the time for people from two different worlds to communicate.
On Tobirama's side, when he heard the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya mention that he wanted some of Danzo's body tissue, his expression immediately turned strange.
It wasn't just him; the people who were listening nearby also looked equally strange.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Kagami, and the others were laughing wildly.
As for Danzo himself, he was so upset that his face turned green.
Smart as they were, they quickly realized what the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya wanted Danzo's body tissue for.
Not only was it likely to gather intelligence on the Akatsuki, but it was probably also to vent his anger.
In a rare move, Danzo bypassed his teacher, Tobirama, and took the initiative to contact the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya.
"Your Danzo is already dead, and you still can't let him go? What grudge do you have? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Hearing this, everyone on Jiraiya's side couldn't help but find it amusing.
Is the younger version of Danzo defending the older version of Danzo?
"Look at what you're saying. What do you mean 'too much'? We just want to bring him back using Impure World Reincarnation to ask about his cause of death. If he was killed by the Akatsuki, we'll also ask for any information about them. Don't overthink it."
No matter what they were planning secretly, at least publicly, what the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya said made sense.
The Akatsuki would be their future great enemy, so the more information they had, the fewer casualties they'd suffer.
The cost was just using Impure World Reincarnation on Danzo.
That wasn't even much of a cost. There were still some criminals on death row in the village, so it could just be seen as utilizing useless people.
"Do you think I believe you? Don't you feel guilty for saying that?"
The younger Danzo would never believe that the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the others would easily let the older version of him go.
Thinking from his own perspective, for someone who had committed so many evil deeds, even in death, he would still want to desecrate the body to vent his anger.
Now that there is the resurrection cloning technique, it's inevitable to kill a few more times, or else the thoughts won't be clear.
Look~
Even Obito himself thinks that his actions as an old man are excessive, let alone others.
"Don't worry, we really just want to get some information about Akatsuki through old Danzo's mouth."
"After knowing the information, then you plan to torture and kill 'me' right?"
The younger Danzo sneered.
Such language traps are like child's play in front of him.
Fifth Hokage Jiraiya sighed when he saw that the younger Danzo wasn't fooled. "How about I swear an oath? If I resurrect the old Danzo and torture him, let me, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, die a horrible death. That should work, right?"
"Heh, just because you don't act doesn't mean others won't. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"Danzo, you bastard."
The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya had no choice now. Seeing that the conversation time was about to end, his mood grew more anxious.
Seeing that the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya was becoming agitated, the younger Danzo felt pleased inside.
He liked this—others looked at him with disdain but couldn't do anything to him.
"Alright, stop showing off."
In the end, it was Tobirama who couldn't watch anymore. He patted Danzo on the shoulder and told him to calm down.
"Don't worry, Fifth Hokage Jiraiya. When I come back in a few days, I'll bring some of Danzo's bodily tissues for you."
"...Then thank you in advance, Lord Second Hokage."
As the conversation time ended, Danzo looked at Tobirama in confusion and asked, "Teacher, why agree to them?"
Tobirama, hearing this, replied with indifference, "What are you afraid of? They're not going to kill you. If they kill Danzo, what's that got to do with you?"
After saying that, he called out to his elder brother and sister-in-law, leading the way out of the office, leaving behind a stunned Danzo.
"Yeah, what does the Danzo from forty years ago have to do with you? It's not like I killed you."
"Do you really think that the things you did forty years from now were the right thing to do, Danzo?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already torn his face with Shimura Danzo. If nothing was happening, they could still maintain some minimal harmony.
But once Danzo was in trouble, Hiruzen wouldn't miss the opportunity to strike against him.
And Uchiha Kagami was simple too.
Even though the destruction of the Uchiha clan was closely tied to Danzo from forty years later, on the surface, he didn't blame this period's Danzo, but what he truly thought inside, only he himself knew.
"Hiruzen, don't get too smug. Who will inherit the Hokage position is still undecided."
"Kagami, the Uchiha matter has nothing to do with me, you can't just blame me for it."
Danzo appeared both angry and aggrieved.
But neither Hiruzen nor Kagami paid him any attention. They simply walked out of the office together.
On the way, Kagami suddenly came up with an idea and asked Hiruzen, "Do you think I should let Jiraiya and the others from the Fifth Hokage revive the version of me from over there?"
"...You just love watching trouble, don't you?"
"Heh, what do you mean?"
"With the current situation in Konoha, are you really sure that reviving the version of you from there won't end up killing the Third Hokage over there?"
It could be said that Uchiha Kagami had sacrificed everything to protect his clan.
When he found out about the destruction of his clan, and that the higher-ups in the village were involved, would he seek revenge for his clan?
Yes, Danzo was dead.
But the Third Hokage and the other two—Koharu and Homura, were still alive.
If we look at the current Kagami, once he learned about the destruction of his clan, there was no doubt he would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
With the Mangekyō Sharingan and a younger body, if trouble broke out in Konoha, it would definitely make a lot of noise.
"If you really want to revive the one from that side, then wait until everything settles. Otherwise, even if you personally request it, they definitely won't agree."
"Yeah, you're right. I was thinking too simply."
The call ended, and naturally, the Third Hokage's office also began to clear out.
When they walked out of the office, everyone's expressions were relatively normal.
Except for Kakashi, Asuma, and Minato.
Their faces showed a bit of helplessness and sadness, along with a hint of fear for what was going to happen next.
"Let's go, Kakashi. Let me have a good look at your strength."
Kakashi: I think you just want to hit me.
"Asuma, stop wasting time. Come home and rest early. I have a mission tomorrow."
Asuma: Are you sure you'll rest early?
"Minato, let's have a competition. Let's see who can't get out of bed tomorrow."
Minato: Can we surrender and call it half a loss?
Kushina: Of course not!
Tonight was destined to be sleepless.
"Pain, have you thought it over?"
Inside the Akatsuki base in the Hidden Mist village, Black Zetsu was talking to Deva Path Pain.
Since Obito stopped caring about the Eye of the Moon Plan, Black Zetsu had been urging Nagato to start capturing the Tailed Beasts right away.
Upon hearing that Konoha had revived the Fourth Hokage and his wife, as well as Sakumo Hatake, Black Zetsu became even more anxious.
This was the fifth time this month it had come to ask Nagato about it.
"I'm still saying the same thing. The plan must wait until the Three-Tails is revived."
