Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The two sides of the river were in chaos, and the two sides of the river were in chaos.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two reports and thought for a while before falling into deep thought.

The Nara family has always been smart. In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself has also noticed that Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura must have participated in the matter of the Fire Trade Company. Lu Xin's report is very concise and is written truthfully, but it uses the Spring and Autumn style. It's just that they may have overlooked it, combined with Lu Xin's words. It means that everything is left to you, the Hokage, to decide. Anyway, I wrote that it is related to them. If you want to deal with them, go dig deeper. If you don't want to deal with them, just follow what I wrote. Anyway, you can't find my Nara family here. After all, how long has Lu Xin been there? How long has Danzo been there? It's normal that you can't investigate.

Shimura Danzo's report clearly stated everything. The matter of the Shimura family joining other small families was also written. After being in the Fire Trade Company for so long, they must have found out a long time ago. They must have been hesitant. Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Nara Shikashin to investigate again. In addition, the fact that Koharu was removed from the list helped Danzo make up his mind. Danzo may also be hesitating between the village and the family.

Here, Shimura Danzo and Akimichi Tofu sat in the private room of Yakiniku Q.

"Tofu, you Akimichi family are good at doing business. You can even eat Yakiniku Q, unlike our Shimura family. Hey, the Shimura family actually intervened in the matter of the Fire Trade Company this time. I went to negotiate it myself. The group of people in the family almost killed the Fire Trade Company in my name. They did such a thing for a little money." Shimura Danzo sat down and complained bitterly. In fact, it was not that serious. The Fire Trade Company could not go bankrupt. At most, Konoha would be kicked out. Of course, this was very serious for Konoha.

"Then what are you going to do? Hiruzen was furious about the Fire Trade Company. Did Koharu have anything to do with it? Hiruzen directly expelled her from the group." Akimichi Tofu asked curiously.

"Koharu joined forces with the Shimura family, as well as many small families, and cooperated with some nobles to eat up the benefits that should have belonged to the village." Shimura Danzo sighed, and he didn't expect his former companions to do such a thing. It was clearly agreed that they would do their best for the village.

"Danzo, tell me honestly, did you intervene?" Akimichi Tofu looked at Danzo with a suspicious look.

Looking at Tofu's eyes, Danzo seemed very calm: "Am I so stupid? Hiruzen took me and Yan to discuss the Fire Trade Company. I don't know the importance of this matter? This is a game between Hiruzen and the daimyo, and also a game between the village and the daimyo's mansion. Now Hiruzen and the village seem very passive."

"That's good, that's good." Akimichi Tofu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the staff of BBQ Q brought the grilled meat, and the two stopped talking and concentrated on eating meat.

"Qufeng, the secret recipe of your tribe's barbecue is really unique. I never get tired of eating it. Do you know how I have been these past few months? I was so angry with those idiots."

"Haha, of course, our Akimichi tribe can be said to be like this in terms of eating..." Akimichi Qufeng gave a thumbs up and continued to eat meat at the dock.

But Shimura Danzo stopped, with a little worry between his brows.

Akimichi Qufeng is worthy of being an old partner, and asked directly: "Danzo, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be like this."

Shimura Danzo put down the tableware: "Hey, I don't know if I can continue to be the assistant to the Hokage."

"What do you think of the position of assistant to the Hokage?" Akimichi Qufeng asked back.

"As the name suggests, the assistant to the Hokage assists the Hokage in governing." Shimura Danzo gave a conventional answer.

"So the Hokage assistant cannot cause trouble for the Hokage. Look at Koharu, she can't put herself in the right position. Hiruzen promoted us to be the Hokage assistant because he missed the old times. Apart from you and Yan, who can really help him? You know how difficult it is for him to be the Hokage. Do you know?" Akimichi Tofu said bluntly.

"Koharu has really changed, and I don't understand her." Shimura Danzo also nodded in agreement.

Akimichi Tofu hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Danzo: "This time Hiruzen is going to set up a new position called the Konoha Village Vice Kage. It is a position lower than the Hokage. When the Hokage is not there, the Vice Kage will have full authority. A Ministry of Political Affairs will also be established. There are nine members of the Ministry of Political Affairs. All major events in Konoha must be implemented by this nine-person committee. Today, Hiruzen and I went to reminisce about the past. He preferred you and Yan to be the Vice Kage. He is still hesitating about who to choose, after all, we are all teammates. You can decide for yourself."

Hearing this news, Danzo's excited face

All blood is congested. Isn't this a position tailor-made for Danzo Shimura? Although it's called the Second Kage, it's also called Kage. Ever since the second generation chose Hiruzen, Danzo has been brooding over it. He thought he could also be the Hokage and lead Konoha to prosperity. But when he really became the assistant of the Hokage, he realized how difficult it was to be the Hokage. He could only hide his thoughts in his heart. Now Hiruzen wants to share the power of the Hokage, how can Danzo not be excited? How can he not be excited? Seeing Danzo's excitement, Akimichi Tofu said: "Don't get excited first. When your Shimura clan won over those small families, it was in your name. And Koharu also has your name. Those small families can't resist the meeting tomorrow, and they will definitely use you as a shield. Although you didn't participate, no one believes it except us." Danzo was confused. What kind of things are the Shimura family in power? When he was at the Fire Trade Company, he was still hesitating whether to help the clan. Now the clan has done something bad in my name, and I am the one who cleans up the mess, but I am the one who takes the blame?

Watching Danzo's face change from excitement to confusion and anger.

Akimichi Tofu said, "Go back to the clan and take a look. Now the rumors in the village are all about what Koharu and you did together."

Shimura Danzo walked out of BBQ Q in a daze and walked towards the clan land of the Shimura clan. After being busy for several months, he returned to the village and heard some explosive news that the position of the second shadow was to be established, and he was a candidate. He was not happy for a few minutes and heard that his family had thrown the blame on him. It was highly likely that he would not be able to sit in that position.

What's the use of such a family? It can't help at all, and it also holds back. Well, from now on, the family is the family, and I am me. I, Shimura Danzo, am the one who inherits the will of the first and second generations. I am the Danzo of Konoha Village, not the Shimura Danzo of the Shimura clan.

Yes, I want to follow Hiruzen and move out of the clan.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran to the Shimura clan. On the way, the Shimura clan members greeted him but he ignored them. When an elder saw him coming back and asked him to go to a meeting, he ignored them.

He returned to his room, packed his things and sealed them in a scroll. He ran towards the Hokage Rock.
