JST Chapter 115: Danzo’s Final Role
🕑 Added 2024-11-25 02:19:22 +0000 UTC"Sensei, how are you going to deal with Danzo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered: "He did a lot of wrong things, but his crime is not punishable by death. When Uchiha Setsuna launched a rebellion, you didn't execute him, but gave him a chance to live..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen has feelings for Shimura Danzo. Even though the two are in a relationship similar to political enemies and allies, the bond they have had since childhood is still there.
At all costs, Hiruzen wished that Danzo could continue living, even if it was just a glimmer of life.
Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes.
At this point, in his heart, Shimura Danzo is already a dying man.
But the problem is that Kazuki doesn't seem to care about Shimura Danzo's life or death. He is more concerned about the issue of truth and falsehood.
As the assistant of the Hokage, Shimura Danzo's abuse of the will of fire makes Kazuki very confused. If he had killed him immediately, the matter would have ended there, but prolonging the action would seem like a deliberate attempt to cover something up.
"I don't make the decision on this matter..." Senju Tobirama pondered. "If Kazuki wants him to live, then he should be removed from all his positions and banned from ever returning to power. He will be imprisoned, and when war breaks out, he can serve as a member of a suicide squad. This will give him the chance to die with honor on the battlefield."
"If Kazuki wants him to die now, then let him die."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes moved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Senju Tobirama would not give Shimura Danzo a chance to return to the top, he gave him a glorious death after all.
As for Senju Tobirama's idea of letting Kazuki make the decision...
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, that was just an excuse. Aren't you Kazuki himself!
"Let Tsunade fill the position of Hokage assistant that he left vacant. Do you understand what I mean?" Senju Tobirama said slowly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. What else could it mean?
Tsunade, as his granddaughter, would take over as his assistant, and once he returned, Hiruzen would have to resign as Hokage, accepting his sensei's punishment. In the meantime, his role would be merely that of a temporary patcher.
But, what else can he do?
Sarutobi Hiruzen can only agree, and he feels more and more that his mind seems unsuitable to be a Hokage.
The courage to break off for a while is not enough to match the deep calculation and darkness of Senju Tobirama.
No wonder, he is so much worse than the sensei as a Hokage...
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little relieved. It's not that he is incompetent, but that the sensei is too cruel!
"When you see Kazuki, say only what is necessary and avoid what is unnecessary." Tobirama ordered with a wave of his hand. "Monkey, this is the last chance. Don't disappoint me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly promised: "Tobirama-sensei, everything is for your resurrection, I understand."
Senju Tobirama hummed in confusion, what does this have to do with his resurrection?
Isn't this for Kazuki!
But at this moment, Kazuki's power has begun to be withdrawn, and the genjutsu space has also dissipated.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kazuki in front of him and swallowed his saliva.
He didn't know whether Kazuki was Senju Tobirama or himself now?
He couldn't tell, really couldn't tell.
Kazuki didn't pay attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen but chatted with Senju Tobirama.
"Kazuki, are you satisfied with my handling?" Senju Tobirama looked at the silent Kazuki and asked nervously.
[From the target Shimura Danzo: You get the special talent Ninja World Darkness!]
[Ninja World Darkness]: When the enemy realizes that the opponent is you, he will enter a state of tension, and his mind will reel.
[From the target Sarutobi Hiruzen: You get the special talent Ninjutsu Doctor!]
[Ninjutsu Doctor]: You get wind, thunder, fire, earth, water chakra property proficiency, and ninjutsu proficiency; when you invent and learn any ninjutsu, the proficiency will immediately reach the maximum level, affected by [Eye of the Snake], this special talent works on blood limit ninjutsu.
[From the target Senju Tobirama: You start the final confrontation (Senju Tobirama)!]
[Final confrontation (Senju Tobirama)]: You and Senju Tobirama have reached the final stage of the confrontation. When the emotional critical value is reached, you will permanently obtain all of Senju Tobirama's basic qualities, such as double chakra, bloodline purification, soul force, and all of his ninjutsu. In addition, Senju Tobirama's signature ninjutsu will be twice as effective and powerful when used by you.
Kazuki looked at the gold coins, pretending to be deep in thought, and ignored Senju Tobirama.
Other things aside, the gold coins given to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are quite interesting.
Basically, they both have special talents, especially Shimura Danzo, one [Konoha Root] and the other [Ninja World Darkness] ...
These talents are good to use in the civil war, blessing Kazuki to fight against the Konoha shinobi, as well as affecting the enemy's mentality.
It can only be said that even if it is Shimura Danzo, if his ability is used in the right place, it is still quite useful.
As for Sarutobi Hiruzen's Ninjutsu Doctor, it is better than nothing, but it is also the limit of what an ordinary person like him can do.
What Kazuki is really concerned about is the so-called final confrontation!
The incident between Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, combined with Kazuki's attitude towards thinking about permanent peace, seems to make Senju Tobirama unable to hold back, and try to give all the gold coins to Kazuki at once...
Even double!
As for how to achieve the final confrontation, although there is no clear goal, Kazuki has already understood it vaguely.
Probably just revive Tobirama, or do something after revival, such as a hairspray hand...
And the final confrontation also made Kazuki start thinking.
If Senju Tobirama can initiate the final showdown, then there's no reason why the same can't be achieved with other objectives!
The prize was tempting, but the process to activate it seemed complicated.
"Kazuki, Kazuki?" Tobirama's voice brought him out of his thoughts.
Kazuki shook his head and finally spoke with a tone of indifference that was hard to capture: "I want to make a bet with you, Tobirama, about Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo."
Tobirama looked at him warily. "What kind of bet?"
"You gave Danzo a chance to die on the battlefield. If deep down he still believes in the Will of Fire, he should reflect on his mistakes in prison and atone for his sins with concrete actions."
"I can see that Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to give Shimura Danzo a decent life, so he will also persuade Shimura Danzo, right?"
Senju Tobirama nodded cautiously. "The monkey will do this..."
Kazuki smiled, with a dangerous arc at the corner of his mouth. "Well, I want to bet the truth or falsehood of the Will of Fire on Shimura Danzo, on him, the former assistant of Hokage!"
"If he repents and atones on the battlefield with his life under the persuasion of Sarutobi Hiruzen, then the Will of Fire is still true."
"If he doesn't, it means that he has never had the Will of Fire in his heart..."
"Tobirama, what do you think?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Kazuki's oppressive eyes, and his breathing could not help but stagnate.
He really wanted to say: Kazuki, why don't we forget this bet and just kill Danzo and feel at ease...
The reason why Senju Tobirama gave Shimura Danzo a chance and let Kazuki decide his life or death was because if he was too decisive in killing him, he would inevitably be suspected of covering up, just as killing someone would make everything disappear.
Especially when the Hatake Sakumo incident just happened and two Root members just committed suicide, it is easier for people to make associations.
In the eyes of Senju Tobirama, Kazuki is an Uchiha. Isn't it reasonable for him to want to kill Shimura Danzo?
After all, he even had a Sharingan implanted!
How could Kazuki not kill Shimura Danzo?
Therefore, it would be more natural to let Kazuki make this decision.
But what Senju Tobirama didn't expect was that Kazuki didn't care much about Shimura Danzo's life or death, and even made a bet with him!
A bet about truth and falsehood!
Senju Tobirama wanted to say that Shimura Danzo's shoulders really couldn't bear this pressure.
He had no confidence in his apprentice. If he could still talk to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Senju Tobirama wanted to order Sarutobi Hiruzen to kill him directly in prison.
But Kazuki's words had already been said, and it wasn't like Tobirama could take them back...
Shimura Danzo didn't have the will of fire in his heart, right?
Is it possible that everything the village has promoted is a lie?
This could inevitably lead Kazuki to question even more things.
Face tense, Tobirama adopted a forcedly confident expression and nodded. "I accept it, Kazuki."
"Also, even if the Will of Fire has questionable elements, with your efforts you can change them. I am convinced that even the roots of Konoha, which now have a terrible reputation, under your leadership will be able to shine with the Will of Fire..."
Tobirama was trying to divert Kazuki's attention from thinking too much about Danzo.
He was already planning what to do: if Kazuki managed to resurrect him soon, he would look for an opportunity for Danzo to die in prison, perhaps through a 'suicide out of regret'.
If the resurrection took longer, Tobirama would have to gradually work on strengthening Kazuki's will or find a time to contact Hiruzen and get rid of Danzo ahead of time.
For his part, Kazuki considered Danzo to be quite interesting.
If Uchiha Setsuna, after twenty years of confinement in prison, had become an extremist hawk, what would happen to Danzo, who coveted the position of Hokage and had now been stripped of all honor?
Forced by Hiruzen to be part of a suicide squad, how would his hatred and resentment evolve?
In a prison without light or hope, fueled by humiliations and the 'comfort' of the Hokage, all those emotions would only serve to catalyze him.
Kazuki was intrigued. Could this extreme state where Danzo would be cultivated like an insect in a jar fed on negative emotions bring him to even greater potential? Would it offer a unique special ability that Kazuki could take advantage of?
