Chapter 278 Who Says Heroes Can't Be Late
"Danzo."
Right from the start, Tsunade had no intention of giving the old man any good looks.
It was no secret that this man was planning something, and now that things had come to this, there was less trouble between the two of them.
Since she was a child, Tsunade had never liked this student of Tobirama's grandfather. He was hypocritical, arrogant, greedy, and two-faced. He was one way in front of his grandfather and another way in front of her.
Now, it seems that she has never been taken seriously by Danzo from the very beginning, and has never been regarded as a human being by Danzo.
I'm too lazy to even pretend.
It's just that he seemed to be a stumbling block on Danzo's path to becoming Hokage. If he wanted to bring that brain along, he had to kick this stone away.
"What's the point?"
Shimura Danzo snorted coldly. Just when he was about to go back, he was blocked by a troublesome woman.
It seems that the other party did it intentionally.
But today, Danzo saw someone he wanted to see, so he didn't bother with women.
Women are women, they can never be better than men. Thinking of this, he felt a sense of satisfaction that surpassed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Back then, I advised him not to accept any female apprentices because there were too many things to do and their abilities were not up to par. Even if she was the granddaughter of the first generation, she still couldn't use Wood Release. If the first generation had given birth to a boy and a grandson, Konoha wouldn't have fallen to such a state now because of the loss of Wood Release.
However, Hiruzen's student named Orochimaru is quite promising. Although he is now a rebel ninja and has a bad reputation, he is a good boy who knows how to be filial to himself and respect his teachers.
But the one who was respected and revered was not Sarutobi Hiruzen as a teacher, but Danzo Shimura.
All of them were handled as a wise man would handle the situation. This was the logical consistency of Shimura Danzo.
"If nothing else..."
Seeing that Tsunade remained silent and just stood in front of him, Danzo didn't look happy. He held his cane and knocked on the ground twice, expressing his dissatisfaction with the younger generation.
But this is just appearance.
Who is Shimura Danzo? He is so afraid of death that even now he has a group of ANBU following him when he goes out. It can be said that he has used his little power to the extreme.
The fact that he was successfully assassinated by Sasuke at the Five Kage Summit could only be because the quality of the Anbu was not as good as the exponential growth in strength of the little genius Uchiha and the crazy Frankenstein of Orochimaru.
Everyone is born with a destiny, and Danzo was destined not to become Hokage - it can only be said that he committed too many sins and was not suitable for the job either way.
There is one Uchiha Sasuke today, and there will be thousands and thousands of Uchiha Sasukes in the future.
Oh no, Uchiha Itachi is about to wake up laughing in the middle of the night.
But it's not even the middle of the night yet, so who says Uchiha Itachi can't be one of the ANBU protecting Shimura Danzo today?
Those eyes were never beautiful. Tsunade could see them, and his clones could see them as well.
Gaara is not a five-year-old child, and he wouldn't be so innocent as to do something stupid like a young bird.
Tsunade may not know about the previous approach to Neji, but Itachi knew. That person also did a lot of superficial work, that is, to see how far he would stop before he tried to cover up his mistake.
If not for this, no matter how Sarutobi Hiruzen defended himself that day, it would have been nothing but empty talk.
After all, the Konoha high-ranking officials are a bit old, but they are all cunning. Let's put aside the arrogant people like Shimura Danzo, but Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En can really distinguish right from wrong, black and white, up and down, left and right.
No wonder Konoha has been changing generations, but only this pair can be passed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom.
The crow in the dark night paused and looked around inconspicuously.
The leader of the Root was a man who was ridiculously cautious about himself, but also incredibly confident in his own ninjutsu and curse seals.
The Anbu work in teams and only tell the mission content but never the number of people on the mission.
That is to say...
Itachi was wearing a mask, and every time this happened, it was hard for him not to sigh about the unfair distribution of resources.
The jonins took turns working the day and night shifts these past two days, which was even more tiring than the previous hell trial known as the "round-the-clock battle". Even so, they were still criticized for being short-handed.
Even Orochimaru, who was wearing the skin of Mizukage, couldn't help but provoke: "When did the number of jonin in Konoha decrease to this level?"
Although the Anbu is in the dark, it is not much better.
They are a force that belongs only to the Hokage, and as the "watches", they are undoubtedly an elite team.
But one day on duty is 24 hours, two days is 48 hours, three days is 70 hours - in total, three days on duty and two hours off. Even elite ninjas don't have to work this hard.
And here...
Uchiha Itachi roughly estimated that there were at least three groups.
That is nine.
There seemed to be another group outside before I came.
The backstage area of the martial arts arena was less than 100 square meters, yet so many people were squeezed into a dark corner.
Who wouldn't say it's inhumane and extravagant after seeing this?
Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"you..."
Tsunade, who was standing opposite Danzo, had no idea what Itachi was thinking, but everyone knew that this man was not a good person.
Tsunade didn't believe that this person would have no thoughts when seeing Neji.
"Tsunade, I am your elder after all."
"Isn't it a bit... to keep the elders here?"
"Danzo, you'd better not think about anything else."
The old man spread his hands and started to tell the second half of the nonsense.
"What nonsense? Tsunade, maybe it was nonsense before you came. But now that you show up, isn't everything settled?"
This person is talking nonsense. Whether she comes today or not, Danzo will return with a full load.
The woman made an indecent sound in dissatisfaction and took three or two steps to close the distance between herself and Shimura Danzo.
This old guy simply thinks that he is just a ninja. He is neither a powerful noble in Konoha, nor a person who is protected by the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But if you think so, you are totally wrong.
"If you can't speak, you don't have to."
"If you are half buried in the ground, you should first make a coffin for yourself. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, and it's best to stay away from things you shouldn't want."
"You know I have no parents, no lover, and no relatives. My only hobby since I was a child is gambling. I drink more alcohol than water..."
She paused, observing Danzo's expression.
The Anbu group behind this man seems to be ready to make a move, but it doesn’t matter.
"When people are not conscious, they will inevitably do something irrational."
"That's not surprising, Master Danzo."
She suddenly thought of something: "He...is not as omnipotent as you think. If he is really like a god, why has he fallen to the point where he can't even protect himself now?"
"Can he really give you what you want? Can you really accept what you have paid and what you will get? Master Danzo, you are really old."
The older you are, the more you can't stand hearing the word "old". Especially for someone like Danzo, who can push himself into desperate situations from time to time and likes to take unconventional approaches.
"Before you become a ninja, learn how to be a human first!"
The old man was furious, but he didn't do anything to Tsunami.
Danzo has had some advantages in being able to get to this point now. Although he denied it verbally and seemed to be going to Sarutobi Hiruzen to report Tsunade's wrongdoings, people who are familiar with Danzo know that he has listened to his words.
There is also a process for wandering merchants to realize their wishes. Every step and every choice must have paid a sufficient price before the result is achieved.
He was outside the rules, but also within them. Tsunade didn't believe that Danzo didn't even notice this.
"By the way, Lord Danzo."
"I'm not threatening you. You know, I'm not only blood-phobic, but also depressed."
"Not only is he depressed, he's also self-harming. How could someone like me kill someone?"
"At most, I'll just kill myself."
She smiled, like a madman. As long as people are alive, there is room for negotiation. But what if they are dead?
Before using Hyuga Neji as a threat and request, what if the person died?
There is no other Tsunade in the world. There won't be another one who can master medical ninjutsu to this level in the near future.
And Shimura Danzo is not Orochimaru, nor is he Uchiha Madara. He does not have the courage to pursue immortality, nor does he have the capital to wait.
