"Danzo, could it be that you were the one who stopped the Uchiha from providing support?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a smug look on his face.
Everyone present looked at Danzo with suspicion.
After watching Danzo's past actions, everyone understood his capabilities and motives.
Danzo really could have prevented Uchiha support.
"Hiruzen, be quiet."
Danzo glared at Hiruzen, then turned to Tobirama with a complaint.
"Teacher, he's accusing me. Sarutobi Hiruzen is slandering me!"
Seeing Danzo's reaction, Tobirama couldn't help but be amused.
"Danzo, there's no need to get so worked up. Even if it was you who did it, it is in the future. It doesn't concern you now."
Tobirama was right; it was something from decades in future. Why was Danzo so agitated?
To everyone's surprise, Danzo became even more upset after Tobirama's words.
"That's impossible. Everyone in the village knows that I, Shimura Danzo, am an outstanding and promising young man. I wouldn't do anything as immoral as secretly undermining the village or even something as minor as littering."
Everyone was left speechless by Danzo's statement.
"Just you? Outstanding youth?"
"What are you looking at? Over the past two months, I've donated money and helped many orphans and disabled people. Why wouldn't I be called an outstanding youth?"
"Danzo, you're truly harsh, not just to your enemies, but to yourself as well."
"What do you mean by that?"
Danzo was clearly irritated by the comment.
Am I, Danzo, inherently evil and unworthy of doing good?
"To become the third Hokage, he even changed his own nature. Isn't that cruel enough?"
"Who wants to be the third Hokage? Hiruzen, not only did you slander me, but you also defamed me!"
"Tsk~ Who here doesn't know you want to be Hokage? You practically have 'I want to be Hokage' written all over your face."
Hiruzen's comment made those present chuckle.
They knew what Danzo was thinking.
But they didn't know that Danzo had actually tried to do good deeds to become Hokage.
It was quite strange.
"You."
Seeing Danzo's embarrassed reaction, Tobirama decided it was time to move on. "Alright, stop joking around and let's continue with the light screen."
"Yes, teacher."
[After the Nine-Tailed Fox lost control, it became even more destructive, launching more Tailed Beast Balls.]
[Fortunately, Minato arrived just in time with a toad and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to move the Nine-Tails away from Konoha. He also brought Kushina and Naruto to the scene.]
[Kushina used all her remaining strength to perform the Adamantine Sealing Chains, temporarily restraining the rampaging Nine-Tails.]
[Minato believed that the masked man would bring bloodshed to the ninja world in the future.]
[Combined with what Jiraiya had said about the child of prophecy, Minato placed his hopes on Naruto and decided to make him the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.]
[He used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to separate the Nine-Tails into a yin and yang form, with the yin half going to Minato.]
[At this time, the Nine-Tails, confused and aggressive, targeted Naruto. Because of the barrier Minato had set up, the Third Hokage and his subordinates couldn't get through to help.]
[Thus, Minato and Kushina died in the hands of Nine-Tails's long-neglected untrimmed nails.]
[As he was dying, Minato sealed the Nine-Tails' yang half into Naruto using the Eight Diagrams Seal.]
[He also sealed his and Kushina's remaining chakra into Naruto's body.]
[After leaving their final words to Naruto, Minato and Kushina both passed away.]
[A great hero fell with his wife.]
"Hey, if Danzo hadn't stopped the Uchiha clan back then, Minato might not have died, and fewer people in the village might have perished."
The Third Hokage sighed.
He didn't bring up Kushina because he knew she would have died either way without the Nine-Tails.
But Minato didn't have to die.
If Minato had survived, the Hyuga incident might not have happened, and the Uchiha clan might not have been wiped out.
Danzo deserves the blame for everything that goes wrong. Whenever something bad happens and no one else is to blame, it's usually Danzo.
"Minato's death was his own choice. It has nothing to do with the Uchiha."
The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya listened and shook his head.
From the images on the screen, it looked like Minato's final act was essentially suicide.
Besides using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he could have used other methods to seal the Nine-Tails.
It was only because of Kushina that he chose to die with her.
"Speaking of Danzo, have you heard from him yet, old man?"
"No, the whole ninja world is searching for him, but that bastard seems to have vanished without a trace."
The Third Hokage was truly disappointed in Danzo.
If Danzo had faced his fate bravely or committed suicide, the Third Hokage would have respected him as a man who lived up to Tobirama Sensei's teachings and took responsibility.
But what happened? Not only did he run away, but he also hid and kept silent like a coward.
The Third Hokage was embarrassed to be linked with him.
"Danzo's situation needs to be resolved quickly, even if it means raising the bounty."
Danzo knew a lot about the village.
Every day without news of his death puts the village in more danger.
"The bounty is already high. Ours, plus contributions from other villages and individuals, totals almost 90 million ryo. Increasing the bounty might not help."
"We have no other choice. Besides sending ninjas to look for Danzo, raising the bounty is our only option."
After thinking for a moment, Jiraiya continued, "Let's add another 10 million ryo. After all, 100 million ryo sounds more enticing than 90 million."
The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya and said, "You're the Hokage now, so I'll follow your lead."
"The Fourth Hokage was too sentimental."
Seeing the scene of Minato and Kushina's deaths, Tobirama shook his head unhappily.
What Jiraiya could see, Tobirama could see as well.
Minato could have survived and continued to lead Konoha, but he chose to die with his wife.
This disappointed Tobirama, who was dedicated to giving everything for the village.
As Hokage, Tobirama had to maintain his public role.
Personally, he still had a famiy.
Plus, Tobirama Senju himself wasn't even married.
Wow, the Minato couple really flaunted their love with their lives.
Tobirama: Someone get over here quickly! There's some serious nonsense happening!
Nine-Tails: Alright, watch this!
Minato and Kushina, dead!
