Fortunately, Danzo had made sufficient preparations in advance. When hundreds of root ninjas appeared, even Uchiha did not dare to take action rashly.

What's more important is that Hiruzen, a shadow-level warrior, seems to be dealing with Danzo, but in fact he is on Danzo's side. If a fight really breaks out, Uchiha will definitely not get any benefits.

If they don't want to betray the Leaf Village now, then they can only let Danzo leave. No matter how aggrieved Uchiha Hikaru is, he can only think about it in the long term.

This public trial led by Danzo eventually turned into a farce that dug its own grave. There was no real winner for everyone present, and it ended up being a mess.

Just a week after this incident was widely reported, Hiruzen used the excuse of lack of border defense and issued an order to let Danzo be on the front line as the commander-in-chief, keeping the central figure in the incident away from Konoha, the center of public opinion.

Let the discussion decrease.

However, the credibility of Konoha's top management still suffered an unprecedented blow. After all, the Hokage's behavior of shielding Danzo was too obvious.

Everyone didn't understand why Hokage-sama would handle such an obvious evil act so hastily, and for the first time, a sense of distrust towards Hiruzen sprouted in his heart.

Therefore, Hiruzen has been gloomy these past few days. He is not only troubled by the fighting on the front line, but also troubled by various rumors in the village.

"Yuta, you really gave me a big problem." Hiruzen looked at the village through the window and kept clicking his pipe. The smoke spread all over the office.

I'm afraid Hiruzen has smoked enough shredded tobacco in the past two days to last a week.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo has repeatedly attacked me, and I was forced to fight back." Yuta looked at Hiruzen, who had his back turned to him, with a helpless expression.

Hiruzen turned around and looked at this child who was a little strange to him, with a slightly dazed expression. In less than two years, this child had grown so big.

He has just turned ten, right? His height has almost reached his chest. The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan is indeed very outstanding.

"I understand the whole story. It's really not your fault. It's our fault in Konoha. As compensation, if you have any requests, you might as well put them forward now. As long as I can help you, I will definitely say it.

Do it."

Yuta was slightly silent. He understood what Hiruzen meant. If he really made any request, then Danzo's side could no longer pursue it.

In other words, Hiruzen still has to protect Danzo in the end, even if the other party commits such an unforgivable thing and even his reputation is affected.

He couldn't understand Hiruzen. For this excellent politician, timely cutting was obviously the best choice. Why did he protect Danzo so much? How could he be worthy of Hiruzen's attention?<

/p>

"Hokage-sama, I do have a few immature ideas that I want to tell you. Don't be offended if I'm wrong."

"Say it, say it safely and boldly." Hiruzen frowned. As long as the other party is willing to give in, everything will be easy to handle.

Knowing how to measure and understand the exchange of interests, this child is indeed more promising than his grandfather Ashina.

"Although the house you gave me is indeed very large, it is still a bit inconvenient for so many clan members to live together. Moreover, the number of clan members will continue to increase in the future. Since I, the Uzumaki clan, have chosen to settle down in Konoha, I hope to have

A piece of clan land that belongs to you."

"I agree to this request, and I will give you part of the original Senju clan's territory. There is no problem with that!" Hiruzen agreed very decisively.

"In addition, our clan is currently doing business in the trading of ninja beasts, but there has never been a good sales channel. I hope to use Konoha's official channels to sell, and we will split it 50-50. What do you think?"

"It's too unfair for you to split the account 50-50. If you split the account 30-70, you will share 70%. The remaining 30% will be regarded as the labor fee of the transportation personnel. I can also make the decision for you."

"And..."

"Yuta, have you had any contact with the Uchiha recently?" Hiruzen suddenly interrupted him.

Yutai understood this clearly. Apparently Hiruzen felt that such a deal was enough in exchange for not pursuing Danzo's case, so he suddenly interrupted.

"The tribesmen had strong opinions against them, so they naturally cut off contact."

"Sigh... I also hope that you ninjas can be united and friendly, but this cannot be achieved by just talking. But Yuta, you must remember that in Konoha, you have to put the village first

, you still need to strengthen your study of the Will of Fire."

Yuta heard something in Hiruzen's words. He was obviously dissatisfied with the tendency of the ninja clan to stick together, and he was also telling himself what he could and couldn't do.

The only people who can unite are the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly Alliance who have taken refuge in his Hokage lineage.

Obviously, before he went to the Uchiha Alliance, he had already caused Hiruzen's dissatisfaction, but he just hid it in his heart and never said it.

No wonder Danzo was allowed to act like this.

"Hokage-sama, can you tell me what the will of fire is?" Yuta pretended to be asking for advice humbly.

"Never abandon your companions at any time. When necessary, you would rather sacrifice yourself for the benefit of the village as a whole. You must keep this sentence in mind."

So this is the reason why you don’t abandon Danzo? Just because you are in the same class?

Yuta sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked thoughtful.

"Go back, be your young master, and don't let me down."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Yuta looked back in the direction of the Hokage's office, his heart a little heavy.

Obviously, because of his amazing performance in the public trial, he is no longer regarded as an ordinary child by Hiruzen, but as a young clan leader among the many ninja clans in Konoha.

That's why he would exchange benefits with himself so nakedly.

He no longer has much affection for Hiruzen. If one day in the future he makes a choice that is not beneficial to Konoha, he will never show mercy because of his young age.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In front of Hiruzen, Yuta easily let Danzo go and chose to exchange benefits because he saw clearly that Hiruzen would not give up on Danzo. No matter how much he objected, it was useless. He might as well exchange benefits.

These benefits are practical.

Otherwise, what can you do if Hiruzen ignores you if you scream louder? Even if you have the ability to kill Danzo, you may become a Konoha traitor and be hunted by the whole world the next day.

And after observing these days, he has been hoping that the ninjas in Konoha can use their strength to force Hiruzen to remove Danzo from power. However, he found that he had made a mistake. He completely underestimated a Kage-level opponent.

The deterrent power of the Ninja clan.

He originally thought that Hiruzen was able to sit on the Hokage seat because he represented the interests of the ninja clan. If the ninja clan exerted their collective strength, even Hiruzen would not be able to withstand it.

But a whole week has passed, and Hiruzen is so blatantly shielding Danzo, but there is no substantive protest from the Uchiha side.

The other ninja clan didn't make a sound because of this, and they were all quiet, as if they didn't even know that Danzo was attacking their ninja clan.

This shows how fearful the major ninja clans are when facing Hiruzen.

This is really a powerful person.

The key is that if you usually see him without any sense of pressure and have never seen him take action, it is easy to overlook his film-level strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, this is probably a target that is far more difficult to deal with than Danzo on his road to revenge.

Fortunately, everything Yuta did was not in vain. At least he did get real benefits, and he also drove Danzo out of Konoha. At least until the end of this war, I'm afraid it won't bring him anything else.

Sorry.

The only thing he needs to worry about is whether he will be deliberately tricked to death by Danzo if he graduates from the ninja school and is sent to the battlefield in the future.

But at that time, it was not certain whether the war would end or not. Thinking about it now is just causing trouble.

As for the Uchiha family, I'm afraid they can't count on it. Hiruzen will definitely give up some of his benefits in exchange for them giving up pursuing Danzo's fault.

That would definitely not be something someone like him could easily get rid of. This Hokage would definitely have to shed tears and bleed profusely.

But if you want to say who is the final winner in this life-and-death game, in fact, no one is.

Of course Yuta lost. He didn't kill Danzo even though he had such a good opportunity. His relationship with Uchiha even broke down. There was also an insurmountable gap between him and Chihiro. How could he be considered a winner?

The Uchiha also lost. Their current reputation is no better than that of Danzo. What they did to their former allies was too extreme. The key is to prove their innocence in the end. In this way, who would dare to be friends with them?

?

Danzo lost everything and was driven out of the village by Hiruzen. He was half-disabled and had to fight on the battlefield. If he was not careful, he might die in the Land of Rain.

Hiruzen, who was innocently implicated, was not much better either. His originally excellent reputation was stained. In order to settle this matter, he probably had to pay a lot of benefits in exchange.

In short, everyone in Konoha is a loser, it’s just a matter of losing more and losing less.

Yuta shook his head. It was useless to think about this. He had to look forward to the future and take care of his own people first.
