His entire body stiffened like a robot as he shut off the crystal ball in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had merely been curious to check on why Naruto hadn't found Aoba after so many days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he ended up hearing was so much eye-searing content, and what's more, the other party was speaking with such conviction, making everything sound completely reasonable, almost as if it were all true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen was dazed for a moment before slowly lighting his tobacco pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a few deep drags, he suddenly felt a burst of clarity in his mind, and many previously blocked thoughts became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes from his decades as Hokage flashed through his mind, and his expression grew even uglier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face, already full of wrinkles, scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This Danzo… Could he really have that kind of intention?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen was certain that Aoba was just spouting nonsense because he himself had never had any such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He often stayed in the Hokage building because after his wife passed away, his eldest son also died, and his youngest son had run off to the Daimyo's court to become a Guardian Ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His home was lonely and desolate, so he found no meaning in staying there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, what he wasn't sure about... was Danzo's intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always thought that Danzo was scheming for the Hokage position, wanting to strengthen his Root organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking back now, something didn't seem quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those proposals Danzo had made, human experimentation, exterminating the Uchiha, even wanting custody of Naruto...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That bastard should have known with just a bit of thought that I would never agree to those demands.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Danzo is definitely acting suspiciously!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He always comes here just to get scolded. Could it be that he isn't plotting for the Hokage position, but rather... plotting me, the Hokage?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was lost in thought, the sound of a door opening suddenly echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned to see who had the audacity to enter the Hokage's office without knocking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person he least wanted to see at this moment walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, regarding the issue with the Uchiha clan, we must resolve it as soon as possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shimura Danzo, leaning on his cane, half his body wrapped in bandages, looked unusually excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only things that could make him this worked up were either the Hokage position or the Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he stepped in, Danzo noticed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's reaction seemed… off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, whenever he barged in, no matter what he said, Sarutobi Hiruzen always maintained a calm and indifferent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, something seemed strangely stiff about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Danzo picked up on this oddity, he instinctively scrutinized Hiruzen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already found it weird that Danzo entered without knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was being stared at like this, he suddenly felt his chrysanthemum tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staring for a long time and not finding any signs of a transformation jutsu, Danzo finally withdrew his gaze and asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough, cough! I'm fine, just feeling a little unwell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly used a cough to cover his awkwardness. After adjusting his mindset, he asked, \"What did you come to see me for today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind had just been filled with all the rumors Aoba had been spouting, so he hadn't heard what Danzo said when he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't feeling well, Danzo's eyes suddenly brightened as if he had thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, if you're feeling unwell, you should rest first. I can help handle village affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To show his sincerity, Danzo, rarely, put on a concerned expression, as if he was genuinely worried about his friend's health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is with that expression?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His just-recovered mental state almost shattered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Danzo continued to press on, \"Hiruzen, you are Konoha's Hokage. Your health is of utmost importance. As the village's advisor and your close friend, I am thinking of both Konoha and you as Hokage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more bewildered, 'Oh? So you still remember that we're close friends?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Danzo was about to continue speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sit still anymore. His expression instantly turned stern as he roared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, Danzo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the Hokage! I don't need you to worry about these things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo was stunned. He hadn't even started yet, he had just shown some concern for Hiruzen's health, so why did it feel like Hiruzen's temper was worse than before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Could it be that I have grown too complacent, and my acting skills have deteriorated?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DANZO! CALM DOWN!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Who exactly needs to calm down here?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'From the moment I entered until now, aside from being a bit agitated at first, I have been speaking gently the whole time. You're the one shouting every few seconds.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware of the truth, Danzo chose to shut his mouth, pursing his lips in silence as he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, Sarutobi Hiruzen was seeing everything through a... different lens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo's current demeanor, in his eyes, looked just like someone who had been wronged… and was acting all pouty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen instinctively clenched his fists. He admitted it—he was a little scared. He couldn't let his long-time friend stray down the wrong path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huu—\", Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice, \"Danzo, go back for now. Unless it's an emergency, don't come looking for me for the time being. Just focus on your own responsibilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Danzo truly felt wronged. He didn't know if his old friend had eaten gunpowder today, but his attitude was much worse than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, thinking back, he had actually been more considerate than usual today, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Could it be that Hiruzen prefers me to be more aggressive?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo seemed to realize something, but seeing Hiruzen's current state, it didn't seem like the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he decided to stick to the usual routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Hiruzen, you'll regret this!\", Danzo flung his sleeves and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time you come, remember to knock,\" Just as he was about to slam the door shut, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo's hand on the door twitched, but in the end, he still BANGed it shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just what the hell is going on? Did something happen in the village again?\", Standing outside, Danzo furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what had changed, so he simply left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Wait, what did I even come here for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, inside, the Third Hokage stood by the window, looking speechlessly at the drifting clouds in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about all of Danzo's actions over the years, his heart felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danzo… My dear friend…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sensei… What should I do…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again fell into deep thought, replaying Aoba's words in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even Sensei was mentioned in them…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a sin…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all that, he completely forgot that he still had to deal with Aoba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FAmbitiousTranslator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🥳Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.🥰 You can access upto 20 advance chapter through Patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1262,"2026-06-10T07:06:03.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","31f91cd882517d5489f8c07fbd9817490524ee066d11796b0f5b1a1759baabc3","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-14","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-12",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
