Chapter 539

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado didn't mean to modify their words at all.

They spoke the truth directly!

Yes.

They were too familiar with each other; there was no need to play that game.

Who doesn't know who!

Danzo revealed a faint smile upon hearing this.

"You two have finally reacted."

"Think about Hiruzen's arrangements over the years, and look at the development of the Sarutobi clan."

"Nara Shikaku is the Jonin Commander, the Anbu Captain is Shinnosuke Sarutobi, the Interrogation and Torture Department is Ibiki Morino, and the Ninja Academy Principal is Hiruzen Sarutobi himself!"

"The real force departments and the training of the next generation of ninjas are all held in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands."

"And what about you?"

"The Konoha Hospital in Koharu's hands, the Mission Hall in Homura's hands, although they are considered real power departments in Konoha."

"But, in reality?"

"They are just some administrative departments; if Hiruzen really wants to deal with you, you won't even be able to fight back."

"The power in your hands is not even as good as the Uchiha's Police Force!"

"And the Root in my hands, although it seems to have great power, what does this have to do with Hiruzen?"

"The Root is actually just an Anbu training class!"

"It was I who demanded power step by step to develop the Root to its current state."

"And Hiruzen doesn't dare to restrict my Root to this day; isn't it essentially because I handle the dirty work for him?"

"So, think about it."

"The three of us who fought with him and helped him sit firmly in the position of Hokage are actually just idle positions, plus an elder title."

"He is even reluctant to give us three a title of Hokage Assistant."

"However, fortunately."

"You two have finally reacted; this is truly gratifying."

"But in view of your previous behavior, if you want to truly join forces with me, I need a 'pledge of allegiance' of sufficient weight."

"Are you two ready?"

Danzo looked plain.

Yes.

Why has he always wanted to be Hokage?

Besides the unwillingness of missing the position of Hokage by one step compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi back then, it was more for self-preservation.

He knew this old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi too well.

Don't look at his kind appearance, but in reality, his methods are more ruthless than anyone else's!

He hasn't taken action against them now only because Hiruzen Sarutobi hasn't completely controlled Konoha yet.

And after the Uchiha and Hyuga, the last two major clans, are completely resolved by everyone together, it will naturally be time for the 'cunning rabbit to die, the hunting dog to be cooked'.
