Chapter 70 Danzo: Make Konoha great again!
Hokage's office.
"Huruzen, don't hesitate any longer!"
Danzo's voice was excited, as if he wanted to press Sarutobi Hiruzen's head and force him to agree to his proposal.
The Southwest Border has fallen!
This news caused panic among the villagers of Konoha and dissatisfaction with the top leaders.
Danzo said he had a way to solve this problem, so he convened this meeting.
"No, I don't allow you to do this!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head firmly.
Because Danzo's proposal was to put the blame for the collapse of the border on the 'Uchiha'.
It is impossible under normal circumstances.
But isn't there an 'Uchiha' on the southwestern border? It's completely reasonable to shift the blame like this.
They just said that the border camp fell because the other party brought back incorrect information. As for what the information was, the villagers didn't care at all.
In this case, the responsibility lies with the Uchiha, and has nothing to do with the village leaders.
All I can say is that Danzo knows how to pass the buck.
"Hiruzen, the villagers are unhappy with us now, we must find a way to solve it!"
Utane Koharu suddenly spoke.
There was no other way. The commander of the southwestern border camp was one of her tribesmen. If Danzo's suggestion was passed, she would naturally be happy to see it.
"This is also a good opportunity. The Uchiha clan has been very active since the new clan leader took office. We can use this incident to make them behave themselves and at the same time get them to give us more things!"
Mitomon En also gave a supplement.
It is the instinct of these Tobirama disciples to beat up the Uchiha. Although he is not as extreme as Danzo, he will not miss the opportunity.
“This… won’t work!”
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little hesitant, he finally shook his head.
The 'will of fire' he had been taught since childhood would not allow him to do so.
Danzo turned around and left in dissatisfaction, leaving behind a sentence when he reached the door.
"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen growled subconsciously.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
After this classic "you regret my shadow", the meeting ended.
But Danzo is not an honest man. He won’t quit just because you, the Hokage, don’t allow me.
So as soon as he returned to the Root, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to put Uchiha Douping on a 'hot search' package.
When it comes to manipulating public opinion, his attack can be described as a dimensionality reduction attack in Konoha, where honest people are everywhere.
"Humph, Uchiha Dohei, since you are unwilling to become the root of Konoha, then burn for the will of fire. All this is for Konoha!"
Danzo muttered to himself after giving the order.
In his opinion.
The other party is a Konoha ninja, but he is unwilling to join the Root and serve the village. He is completely seeking death.
He wanted to prove that his 'Will of Root' was superior to Sarutobi Hiruzen's 'Will of Fire'.
"Huruzen, I will prove to Sensei that I am more suitable for that position than you. Only I can make Konoha great again!"
Danzo slowly closed his single eye.
And a rumor quickly spread within Konoha Village.
That is, the fall of the Southwestern Border Camp was caused by the intelligence error of Uchiha Dohei, who ranked first in the Joint Chunin Exam.
Following this topic, the blame was also put on Uchiha.
After all, the other party was very famous in Konoha, so no villager thought there was anything wrong with it.
Say it in one sentence.
Konoha is so miserable, no matter how you look at it, it's all the Uchiha's fault.
As for the improvement of Konoha, it was all thanks to the village leaders and myself.
The double standard has been fully demonstrated.
This blame also caused the Uchiha clan to have opinions about Uchiha Dohei.
If it weren't for the suppression of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mei, there might have been a scene of "He is not worthy of the surname Uchiha".
Of course, the major ninja clans could see the truth. But what if they could see it?
Just like White Fang in the past, he was famous and had a wide network of contacts, but when he was slandered, no one was willing to stand up and explain for him.
After all, the rumors came from the village's top leaders. Who would dare to go against the village and betray the village?
And Tang Ping, who was far away in the southwestern border area of the Fire Country, had no idea that a big black pot had been placed on his head.
At this time, he was bathed in the moonlight, sitting alone by the campfire, swallowing the ration pills while treating his injuries.
There are too many Sand Ninjas chasing after us.
Not only are they endless, but they are also fearless and unafraid of death. It seems they are ready to fight them to the death.
A ninja who dares to risk his life is much more terrifying than a terrorist.
Even he suffered some minor injuries.
In order to save healing potions, he naturally treated such minor injuries himself instead of using potions.
"Dohei... I don't think we can go on like this!"
Honda Ying, with his abdomen wrapped in bandages, came over with a bitter face and sat down beside him.
In just one day, their escort team lost one-third of its members, and two of his teammates were killed in the battle (two people: author, you don’t even give us a name, you have no heart). If it weren’t for Tang Ping’s rescue at the critical moment, he would never have survived.
This place is still thousands of kilometers away from Konoha. At the current speed, it will take at least a month.
Even if the Sand Ninja couldn't chase them the whole time.
But it will take at least a week for the convoy to escape the pursuit range.
But given their current state and speed, it is impossible for them to last a week.
"I know, but..."
Tang Pinghua didn't say anything, but he believed that the fat man could understand him.
Even though his strength has been demonstrated today, he is only a Chunin after all, and he has no say in the team, so even if he has any ideas, it is useless.
"Right!"
Honda Eagle lowered his head in frustration.
The death of two teammates and the bleak future made even the usually optimistic him unhappy.
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to return to the village alive!"
Tang Ping patted his shoulder.
He had never doubted this.
As long as he is not chased by strong men like Ye Cang, Luo Sha..., and he is careful not to be tricked by secret techniques and poisons, it will not be a problem for him to escape back to the village safely.
Just then, a Konoha Genin walked over.
"Dodaira Chuunin, Captain Krillin is calling you!"
Although this Genin was older, his attitude was extremely respectful.
Ninjas are respected for their strength, so no matter how old you are or how much experience you have, it is useless.
"it is good!"
Tang Ping stood up and walked towards the convoy.
Anyway, there are people on guard outside, so there is no need to worry about being approached by a Sand Ninja and no one giving the warning.
Soon, Tang Ping came to a corner of an open space surrounded by the convoy.
Kobayashi Taira and the two Chunin squad leaders were all illuminated by the light of the campfire, but their conditions were extremely bad.
Almost everyone was injured!
All I can say is that the intensity of battlefield and routine tasks is indeed not on the same level.
"You came!"
Xiao Linping greeted weakly.
He was also seriously injured.
The point is not the injury, but the poison.
Almost all Sand Ninjas are poisonous, and the poison cannot be removed by ordinary antidotes.
"Captain, do you have any orders?"
Tang Ping found an empty spot and sat down to ask.
The other party is now his superior, so it can't be that he is looking for him to build a relationship, right?
Just hearing his words, Xiao Linping said an "unfortunate" news with a complicated expression.
