Chapter 25: Danzo: Hiruzen, There Is Already a Thick Wall Between You and Me.
"I'm really sorry, our shop is full."
The owner of a snack bar sent away Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura who wanted to eat here with a standard fake smile.
This was already the fourth one. The owner of this one had a relatively good temper, at least he was polite.
The previous one was full of curses and spit at their feet. If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't stopped him, Danzo Shimura would have fought with him.
"Isn't there a seat over there?"
Danzo Shimura was angry and pointed to the empty seat over there.
A dignified Konoha jonin, the Hokage's shadow guard, was being chased around for a meal.
Even a clay figurine had three parts of anger, not to mention that I was taking care of your business. In this situation, only ninja masters dared to eat out every few days. Ordinary people didn't dare to be so extravagant. It was good enough to have enough to eat.
"That's reserved. The guests will be here soon."
The snack bar owner was already impatient. The two guys in front of him abandoned the Hokage, causing the Hokage to sacrifice. They were cowards and deserters, not worthy of being Konoha ninjas.
Still want to eat here?
Go eat shit!
"I'll wait here and see when the guests you mentioned come!"
Danzo Shimura pushed away Hiruzen Sarutobi who was still trying to stop him. He had to seek justice here.
"Enough! Do you want me to make it clear?"
"I don't want to do business with you!"
"You are all a bunch of deserters, cowards, not worthy of being Konoha ninjas!"
"You killed Lord Hokage!"
"Get out of here!!"
The snack bar owner didn't want to entangle with them anymore and directly cursed at them.
"What did you say?"
"I must teach you a lesson today!"
Danzo Shimura was so angry that he jumped up. These lowly people who only enjoyed the protection of Konoha didn't know the danger of the situation at that time, and didn't know the greatness of Tobirama Senju's will of fire!
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly pulled Danzo Shimura. In Konoha, there were regulations that ninjas couldn't use force against civilians.
If they violated it, they would have to go to the security department for tea. The Uchiha were not soft-hearted people. They wouldn't be able to get out without losing a layer of skin.
What's more, it was at this juncture. Once they entered the Uchiha's territory, they might not be able to get out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't let Danzo Shimura act recklessly.
"What? You still want to hit someone?"
The snack bar owner raised his voice when he saw Danzo Shimura trying to do something.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were too conspicuous now. Someone had been watching them not far away and instantly attracted a group of onlookers.
A group of indignant villagers began to criticize Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.
Cowards!
Traitors!
Deserters!
All kinds of words filled their ears. Some even greeted their parents and families, mainly because there were many people and they were not afraid of Danzo Shimura's outburst.
The Uchiha had specially instructed that as long as these people dared to do something, they would be arrested and put in prison. Once they entered the Uchiha's security department, they would definitely not be able to get out, and they didn't have to worry about being retaliated afterwards.
Danzo Shimura's eyes were red and he was so angry that he was about to kill someone. Hiruzen Sarutobi was also uncomfortable, his face was pale, but he was still rational.
It was not beneficial to have a conflict with the villagers now. It would only embarrass Mito Uzumaki and lower her evaluation of him.
They were just a group of villagers who were bewitched by public opinion. There was no need to argue with them.
Hiruzen Sarutobi held Danzo Shimura's hand tightly, afraid that Danzo would not be able to hold back and give them a few Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets.
"Let's go, Danzo, don't argue with them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled Danzo Shimura out of the crowd and ran all the way to an open space.
"Damn it, damn it!"
"These lowly people!!"
Danzo Shimura picked up a branch and frantically whipped the weeds to vent his anger. He didn't calm down until he whipped dozens of times.
"Hiruzen, aren't you angry?"
Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi standing aside. Hiruzen Sarutobi had endured the villagers' insults just now, silently endured the villagers' output, and didn't say a word.
Danzo Shimura was left alone to fight, but unfortunately, he was defeated.
Angry?
Of course he was angry. Being pointed at and insulted by a group of people, and even involving his parents' family, anyone would be angry.
But being angry was useless. The more you explained, the more excited they became, thinking that you were anxious!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was not stupid. He had been reminded by Mito Uzumaki that the Uchiha would use public opinion to defeat him.
Having been reminded, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not be easily provoked by ignorant villagers and fall into the Uchiha's trap.
Maybe there were Uchiha ninjas hiding nearby in the crowd, observing them in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to catch them into the Uchiha's security department.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was right. The Uchiha really sent someone to stare at him, but it wasn't just the Uchiha who was staring at them.
The Senju, Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, etc. all sent people.
"Now is not the time to be angry."
"I have more important things to do. A village's shadow will not be defeated by this kind of thing."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had begun to use the Hokage's thinking to restrain himself. If he wanted to become a qualified Hokage, he must have the Hokage's thinking.
Mere insults were nothing. He was willing to endure even if he had to endure humiliation to become Hokage.
Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's confident and proud appearance and felt a strange fire in his heart.
Had the gap between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi become so big?
The gap in strength could still be surpassed by hard training, but the gap in mind and pattern could not be easily made up by hard work.
There was already a sad thick wall between Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen, I won't lose to you!
Seeing his good buddy Hiruzen Sarutobi had already led him by a big margin in terms of pattern, he would not give up so easily.
Danzo Shimura, who considered himself no weaker than Hiruzen Sarutobi in his life, still believed that the only thing lacking between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little opportunity.
If Tobirama Senju had chosen him in the first place, he would not have been worse than Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Regret and unwillingness filled his heart.
"Danzo, let's go practice."
"We can't waste such a good time."
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not forget Mito Uzumaki's reminder. She could help him solve the Uchiha, but there was also an opponent, Toka Senju, waiting for him.
He had to work hard to practice and improve his strength as much as possible during this time. Mito Uzumaki was still helping him delay. When Lord Tobirama's body was transported back to Konoha, the real test would come.
He couldn't let Teacher Tobirama down, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly swore.
At this moment, a young man stood in front of the gate of Konoha Village.
He had black hair, a handsome appearance, and seven or eight points similar to Hashirama Senju's appearance.
Toka Senju looked at the gate of Konoha. He should have been happy to return to the village, but now he was uneasy, as if a great disaster had happened in Konoha.
What exactly happened to make his mother ask him to return to the village so urgently?
