Chapter 323 The Third Hokage and Shisui
Sarutobi Shinnosuke is his son and the current head of the Anbu of Konoha. He has the strength of an elite jonin. If he continues to hone his skills for a few decades, he may have a chance to become a Kage.
The Third Hokage has always had the idea of training Sarutobi Shinnosuke and running for the next or next Hokage.
Unfortunately, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is not strong enough to run for Hokage in terms of strength or achievements. Being the head of the Anbu is already the limit for Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
If Shinnosuke replaces Danzo... will the war on the front line be easier?
The Third Hokage fell into deep thought, then shook his head slightly and gave up the idea.
First, Shinnosuke's strength is not enough to lead the team behind enemy lines. Second, Shinnosuke's heart is not dark enough. In dealing with some problems, he cannot be as decisive as Danzo.
Most importantly, once the position of the Root leader is taken, it will be the end of his life.
After giving up the idea of letting Shinnosuke replace Danzo, the Third Hokage also gave up the idea of letting Kakashi replace Danzo.
The Third Hokage didn't care about Kakashi's future, but Kakashi was not qualified to replace Danzo.
Compared with Shinnosuke, Kakashi not only had little experience, but also had worse hard power.
After thinking about this, the Third Hokage carefully considered whether there was anyone suitable to replace Danzo, and finally sighed softly.
Konoha didn't have a second Danzo, and he still couldn't leave Danzo. There were some things that only Danzo could do, and only Danzo could complete them instead of him.
I just don't know what harsh conditions Danzo will put forward this time.
...
Half an hour later, the Third Hokage appeared at the Root Organization Base.
After entering the Root Organization Base, looking at the brand new Root Base, the Third Hokage couldn't help frowning.
He knew that he had issued an order to rectify the Root Organization, and he had also said at the meeting that the Root Organization was too dark and did not conform to the Will of Fire.
But when did you, Danzo, listen to my opinion? You actually made a major transformation of the Root.
But this transformation was too thorough. It didn't look like the Root at all, but rather a ninja school full of the Will of Fire.
Everything Danzo did was meaningful. He must have had an ulterior motive for transforming the Root base.
Danzo, this guy, wouldn't really want to get away with it.
After muttering a few words in his heart, the Third Hokage continued to walk deeper into the base, and soon saw Danzo sitting in an office chair reading a book.
The book in Danzo's hand was not a book for children, but a note by Tobirama Senju.
Seeing this scene, the Third Hokage felt even more uneasy.
After noticing the footsteps of the Third Hokage, Shisui raised his head, squinted his eyes, looked at the Third Hokage and said, "Third Hokage, how come you have time to visit me, an idle person?"
The Third Hokage found a seat and sat down, staring at Shisui and said, "Danzo, when did you do this? You are studying the books written by the Second Hokage."
"Of course, it is to study the spirit of Teacher Tobirama. I used to manage the Root every day and had no personal time. Now I am relaxed all of a sudden, and I must pick up my hobbies back then."
At this point, Shisui handed the Tobirama notes to the Third Hokage, and then said, "Sarutobi, you can also read the notes left by Teacher Tobirama more often. You will have different feelings when you read them at different times."
When he just replaced Danzo's identity, Shisui acted very cautiously, fearing that if he did something wrong, it would arouse the suspicion of the Third Hokage.
But as the time of acting increased, Shisui has adapted to the identity of Danzo, and has a new understanding of the identity of Danzo, and began to interpret the role of Danzo from different angles.
Changing the decoration style was the first order he issued, and it was praised by Lord Bai Ye.
Lord Bai Ye also told him about the style of Danzo, the ninja. Danzo's biggest characteristic is that he wants to become a Hokage, and he always likes to use Senju Tobirama's views to suppress the third generation of Hokage.
Since then, Shisui began to read the books left by Senju Tobirama, and gradually recognized the views in them, such as Uchiha is born evil, and the ninjas of the Senju line are not the same.
If the Uchiha clan are all villains, the Senju line are all hypocrites.
The ninja village established by villains and hypocrites under forced circumstances will sooner or later have internal strife due to interests and gradually die out.
The Third Hokage did not take the Tobirama Notes, and asked coldly: "Now is not the time to ask this. Why did you refuse my order and refuse to lead the Root to the front line to fight."
Shisui took back the Tobirama Notes and said disapprovingly: "The Root has been disbanded. I alone cannot rush to the front line to perform the mission. I am not refusing orders, but I have no choice."
The Third Hokage looked at Shisui and said: "Do you think I will believe that you disbanded the Root? When has your Root really disbanded? Isn't it just temporarily sending them out to perform tasks and they will be back soon."
Shisui shook his head and said:
"The past is the past, and the present is now. After solving the troubles of the Uchiha clan, the Root has lost its reason for existence, and I will naturally not retain extra manpower."
"Besides, after experiencing the Uchiha incident, the Root is not suitable to show up again, otherwise it will arouse the vigilance of the major families of Konoha. Isn't this your original intention to disband the Root? Why do you still come to ask me."
The Third Hokage frowned: "The front line needs the Root. Without the Root's sabotage, we will lose more people in the war with the Hidden Rock Village."
While Shisui continued to study his notes, he said: "Destruction behind enemy lines is not in line with the Will of Fire. Compared with temporary gains and losses, I think it is more important to ensure the Will of Fire."
The Third Hokage was stunned. He felt that Danzo seemed different from before, like a different person.
In the past, when he quarreled with Danzo, he was the one who talked about the Will of Fire, but now Danzo has become inseparable from the Will of Fire, and he always talks about the Will of Fire.
After staring at Danzo for a few seconds, the Third Hokage stopped delaying and said straight to the point:
"The village needs the Root. State your conditions. I can restore the Root's funding, or I can agree to a condition that does not violate the Will of Fire."
Hearing this, Shisui raised his head again and said with a half-smile:
"Sarutobi, I really have a condition that you need to agree to. Since the Root is an organization affiliated with the Hokage Building, any action of the Root needs the endorsement of the Hokage. This also includes the content of the Root's future destruction behind enemy lines. These orders must have formal documents and must be issued by you personally."
