Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 503 Guide Hiruzen

Konohagakure, in the Hokage's office.

At this time, Danzo had already recovered to the state of being controlled by Aoba's advanced paper clone. In addition, he had successfully received the information that Aoba's main body had displayed through Rinnegan. It was perfectly connected without a crack.

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo suddenly turned his head around, and his single pitch-black eye once again focused on Hiruzen. It looked no different from before.

"Let me think..."

Danzo began to use these words to delay his thinking time. After all, the question that Hiruzen asked was not an easy question for him to answer.

"At this time, it is very difficult for us to deny Sakumo's achievements. If you want to keep the Hokage position, we must do something to make Sakumo lose his prestige among the people..."

Danzo slowly said. He did not mean to harm Sakumo, but to let Hiruzen harm Sakumo.

But in fact, it was developing in two completely different directions.

If the person who said this was the real Danzo, then his goal was very simple - to help Hiruzen guard the Hokage position.

After all, in Danzo's opinion...

The only person who could take away the Hokage position from Hiruzen was himself.

No one else!

Therefore.

As long as there was someone who could shake the Third Hokage's position, he would stand on Hiruzen's side and first deal with the enemy.

When no one could compete with Danzo for the Hokage position, it would be time for Danzo to kill Hiruzen to compete for the Hokage position.

However.

Now was not the time for Danzo to make a move.

Hiruzen also understood that after encountering such a thing that would shake the Hokage's position, he would always find Danzo to seek help. They had always been like this.

Now, Aoba was using this idea to help Hiruzen, to let Hiruzen do things according to his idea.

As a result.

Hiruzen would feel that this was not the right thing to do, but still had to continue doing it!

Aoba's goal was to let Hiruzen do it, but not necessarily succeed. As long as Hiruzen did it, then Hiruzen's hypocritical veil would be completely uncovered!

This was Aoba's goal!

"What should I do?"

Hiruzen's brows were tightly knitted together. His slightly turbid eyes were flashing with confusion. Now, his thoughts had become chaotic. He could not think of a way to suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige.

However...

Hiruzen felt that there was no problem with what Danzo said.

The most important thing now was to suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige, but he did not know what to do.

This was where he had to rely on Danzo.

"This is not difficult. We just need to think of a way to discredit Sakumo. We can first make a fuss about the commander position, then...."

Just as Danzo said this, he was immediately interrupted by the puzzled Hiruzen.

"Wait!"

Hiruzen immediately shook his head. He stared at Danzo and said, "Didn't you just say that as long as Sakumo returns from the battlefield, then the victory in this battle will be his achievement and cannot be erased at all? But now you are saying that you are making a fuss about such a place, isn't this inconsistent..."

"This is not the same thing."

Danzo shook his head. When Aoba read Danzo's memories in the past, he had already seen the scene of Danzo and Hiruzen talking. Many times, Hiruzen was a bit flustered and needed Danzo to explain more.

"The achievement part that I mentioned was based on their triumphant return. What Sakumo did at that time was already a solid achievement, but now they have not returned victoriously..."

Danzo slowly said. He was using this method to induce Hiruzen bit by bit, allowing Hiruzen to continue to think about it according to the method he provided.

At this moment.

Hiruzen's pupils fiercely contracted.

He suddenly heard the hidden meaning behind Danzo's words.

"You mean..."

Hiruzen stared at Danzo. After that, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The brief change in his mood was reflected in Danzo's eyes.

"Are we going to take action before Sakumo and the others return?"

Hiruzen's tone was full of doubt and confusion. If this strategy was not proposed by Danzo, then he would think that there was something wrong with that person's brain. But since it was said by Danzo, then there would still be some reference value.

For a moment.

What he could think of was to suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige before he came back.

This would change the situation!

By the time Hatake Sakumo came back, what he had was no longer so many achievements, but a half-ruined reputation. This could outweigh his achievements, so there was no need to give Hatake Sakumo extra rewards.

In this way.

Even if Konohagakure had two other ninjas who could reach the half-sleeve Hokage robe level.

But it was only a half-sleeve.

They couldn't do anything!

"But..."

When Hiruzen was thinking about this, he silently agreed with this method in his heart. He felt that this method was not a problem. The only problem was how to do it.

"Here comes the problem..."

"What should I do?"

"I understand the reasoning!"

"But it's too difficult to implement it in detail!"

Hiruzen rubbed his head hard. He understood that at this time, the thing to do was to splash dirty water at Hatake Sakumo. However, how to splash the dirty water to dirty the other party could be said to be very troublesome.

In the face of such a matter, Hiruzen had no idea what to do. He could only choose to seek help from Danzo. He knew that if Danzo made such a suggestion, there must be a certain solution.

"Actually, the method I thought of is not that mature. It's just that in the current situation, I can't think of any other way. So whether it is done or not, you still have to decide in the end." Danzo slowly said.

"Hurry up and say it!"

Hiruzen couldn't wait any longer. With Danzo's words just now, he had already felt that his Hokage position had become precarious. But to him, there was nothing more important than his Hokage position.

Gradually.

Hiruzen had been brought into Aoba's rhythm and began to be led by the nose by Aoba.

"We should start from Sakumo's position, which is what I just said. Sakumo is the commander of the ninja army. After the ninja army won, he would indeed be the one who would obtain the biggest fruit of victory. But when the ninja army failed, he was also the one who would take the blame."

"Based on this situation..."

"We should focus on the crushing defeat before Minato arrives!"

"According to the information from the frontline."

"Hatake Sakumo made a fatal mistake!"

"That is, when Iwagakure's ninja army charged forward, he chose to retreat, which led to Iwagakure's army entering into the Country of Fire. It helped Iwagakure's ninjas to increase their momentum, and finally led to so many casualties!"

Danzo said coldly. This information was not transmitted from the frontline, but from what Aoba saw. Of course, Aoba knew very well that Hatake Sakumo had handled it well. If Aoba had not done a lot of things in Iwagakure, Iwagakure's ninjas would have been constantly consumed by the repeated pulling. In the end, they might have slowly let the Third Ninja World War end with this kind of pulling.

Hatake Sakumo was not wrong.

Aoba also did not think that Hatake Sakumo was wrong.

Konohagakure's ninjas also did not think that Hatake Sakumo was wrong.

So...

Only Hiruzen would felt that Hatake Sakumo was wrong!

Aoba was very clear that if he wanted Minato to become the Hokage, achievement alone was not enough. Hiruzen also had to make the mistake and was not suitable to continue sitting in the Hokage position.

This mistake appeared in the original historical trajectory...

That was, in a situation where they had no choice, they sent the students of the Ninja School to the battlefield and finally caused the students to suffer heavy casualties. Under pressure, he had no choice but to give up the Hokage position.

Due to Hiruzen's mistakes, coupled with Minato's outstanding performance in the Third Ninja World War, and the prestige he gained in the people's hearts, he took advantage of this opportunity to become the Fourth Hokage.

Now that Minato had saved Konohagakure's ninja army, he already had the qualifications to become the Hokage. The achievements he had accumulated were no less than the original historical trajectory.

However.

It was precisely because Minato saved Konohagakure's ninja army.

This also prevented Konohagakure from being deeply hurt. Hiruzen had not reached the level where it was inevitable but to accept the blame. Therefore, before Minato came back, Aoba wanted Hiruzen to make a mistake. So he then made use of Hiruzen's desire to protect the Hokage position.

Hiruzen had this demand, and Aoba could take advantage of it.

"Based on Sakumo's situation, we can accidentally leak some information like..."

"Hatake Sakumo's fatal mistake caused Konohagakure to be in an extremely passive situation, and may even be in danger of being destroyed!"

"Fortunately, Minato returned in time and saved this situation, stabilizing the situation."

"In this way."

"The credit for this victory changed from a collective victory to a credit transfer, allowing Minato to gain little more achievements, while Sakumo had to give up his achievement which is just barely enough to offset his mistake!"

"Won't Sakumo's threat be eliminated?"

Danzo said patiently. He was pushing Hiruzen into an irredeemable abyss bit by bit.

To do such a thing.

He has no sense of responsibility in his heart.

After all, Hiruzen himself had many problems. Pulling Hiruzen off the Hokage position was also being responsible for Konohagakure.

"This..."

Hiruzen took a deep breath and began to repeatedly think about the feasibility of what Danzo had said. This matter was indeed more complicated than he had imagined before. Even if Danzo had said so much, his mind was still in a mess.

"What exactly should we do?"

Hiruzen picked up his smoking pipe and took a drag. There was a backbone in his mind right now. It was like the main storyline that guided him to do things. However, he was still confused as to how to advance this storyline.

"Have you really thought of doing this?" Danzo didn't say anything directly but instead went to ask Hiruzen.

"Do I have any other choice?" Hiruzen said with a wry smile.

"Maybe, but I haven't thought of it yet. This is the only way I can think of. I can try my best to balance Sakumo and Minato," Danzo said.

"Then that's it..."

Hiruzen shook his head helplessly. His eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness. He said in a low voice, "There's no other way. I can only do this. Sakumo is really a good ninja. Unfortunately, he turned out to be too good!"

"Now that you've decided, you should figure out what to do. I won't care about the rest." Danzo said indifferently.

Aoba said this on purpose.

The current Hiruzen made him feel that there was a hidden meaning in his words. He did not know if it was true or if he was taking the opportunity to test him.

So.

It was better to make progress by retreating.

And leave the decision-making power directly to Hiruzen.

Even if he hadn't heard Hiruzen's statement now, the situation in Konohagakure was still under his control.
