Daily Life of the Third Hokage - Chapter 193

The old man was very angry.

“Danzo, excessive concentration of power will only bring disaster. We shouldn’t mess up the village for power. The research team needs a certain degree of autonomy, and they also work for research.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said, with a hint of worry and dissatisfaction in his voice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the topic. From a professional point of view, other members of the research team need greater autonomy. In contrast, Danzo’s power is not much help.

Danzo sneered: “I think there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, it’s just that the pressure is not enough. When the pressure is high enough, they can do anything.”

Danzo thought it was simple. He didn’t need to study the magic circle, he just needed to manage people. For him, these things are not important.

“Danzo, don’t be too conceited.” Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo in front of him with a serious face, with a bit of solemnity and worry in his tone, “The research group of the sky-patching array is not just your business, it is related to the future of the entire Konoha Village. We need to work together, not fight each other.” Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the importance of this research group.

Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully formulated the sky-patching plan, and he knew that this was the best way to test all parties. However, the “parties” he meant in his mind were not just a few ninja villages and forces in the ninja world.

The first party was the old coin “Six Paths Sage” Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Although Hagoromo’s soul was hidden in the Pure Land, he was always paying attention to the dynamics of the ninja world. Sarutobi Hiruzen understood that if he wanted to understand Otsutsuki Hagoromo’s true intentions, he had to test his trump card.

The second party was Otsutsuki Hagoromo’s younger brother, Hamura. Considering that Hagoromo could retain his soul, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not believe that Hamura would die easily. He decided to investigate Hamura’s whereabouts to confirm whether he was still alive.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to test Isshiki Otsutsuki hidden in Jigen’s body. His focus was on Isshiki’s intelligence ability and recovery status. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Madara teamed up to plan to take action against Otsutsuki. Although this plan was extremely confidential, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that someone would always find clues to a certain extent.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to tolerate Danzo messing around in the research team and destroying his plan. He knew that once Danzo’s actions aroused vigilance, the news of the action would be easily leaked. He must remain highly vigilant to ensure the smooth progress of the plan.

However, Danzo seemed unmoved by this. His face hidden under the bandage could not see his expression, but his determination could be seen from his eyes.

Danzo seemed to have made up his mind. He said in a low and firm voice: “Sarutobi, don’t say anything. I won’t change my mind. Either do as I ask, or you find someone for this research team yourself.” There was no sign of concession in Danzo’s tone, as if what he insisted on was the truth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo’s stubborn appearance, and his heart was full of helplessness.

He knew Danzo too well, and knew that once Danzo made a decision, it would be difficult to change it easily. After so many years of getting along, Sarutobi Hiruzen witnessed Danzo’s stubbornness and persistence countless times.

But the situation is different now. This is not a personal impulse, but it concerns the fate of the entire Konoha Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that he can’t let Danzo do this, otherwise the future of the ninja world will be full of uncertainty.

Danzo always has his own calculations and plans, but his actions often lead to some unexpected consequences. The ninja world has experienced too many storms and hardships, and it can no longer disrupt the situation of the ninja world because of various mistakes.

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t insist that Shimura Danzo come out to lead the research team. Konoha Village is full of talents, and there are many capable ninjas.

However, it must be admitted that Shimura Danzo is indeed an excellent choice. He has strong strength and rich experience, and his position in Konoha Village is also very important. If he can devote himself to the research team wholeheartedly, it will definitely bring great help to this team.

Despite many considerations and helplessness in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to give in.

He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and then slowly said: “Danzo, my request is this, the research team is under your leadership, and the village will not interfere during your leadership, but the village has the right to know the progress of the research. The research team needs to report to the village committee regularly, temporarily set for one month, and then later

Specific adjustments. “Sarutobi Hiruzen’s tone was as soothing as possible. He didn’t want to arouse Danzo’s resistance.

He knew that only when both sides took a step back could they find a balanced solution.

“In addition, the village has the right to supervise the financial accounts. This is inevitable. Don’t make it difficult for me. Even if I agree, the village committee will never pass it.” Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

Financial transparency and reasonable use are crucial, which is related to the allocation of resources and fairness and justice in the village. He can’t let Danzo have any casualness in this regard.

Danzo listened quietly to Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words, and he didn’t respond immediately. After a moment, he slowly said: “Okay, I can accept your conditions. But I hope you can also abide by your promise and don’t interfere with the work of the research team at will. “Although Danzo was still somewhat reluctant, he also understood that under the current circumstances, this might be the best solution.

With Danzo’s statement, the tense conversation came to a temporary end. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew in his heart that this was just the beginning.

Danzo! He has a unique and profound understanding of power. In his view, the scope of power is not limited to the powers and responsibilities that are defined on the surface!

Matters within the power are naturally under his jurisdiction, but as long as they are related to him outside the power, he also thinks that they should be included in his jurisdiction. Take the plot in the original work for example, Danzo is the leader of the Root Organization! He shoulders the important mission of training and recommending talents for the Anbu, and is specifically responsible for training And train these elites!

In Danzo’s mind, the members of the Anbu must become masters who absolutely obey orders and are proficient in assassination skills. So the question is, whose command should they obey? Danzo firmly believes that making them obey himself is the best choice!

As an important department of Konoha Village, the Anbu, in a broad sense, has the responsibility to protect the safety of Konoha, maintain the peace and order of the entire ninja world, and eliminate all unstable factors that may cause turmoil for Konoha.

Danzo thinks that since the Root is a branch of the Anbu, it is natural to assume these responsibilities! However, as for which ones are considered unstable factors, it is up to Danzo himself to decide! After all, he is a big man with the final decision-making power!
