A moment later, the Ninjas on the scene left under the evacuation of the Anbu.
Minato and the others still had a lot to say to Uchiha Tunan.
Danzo looked at Minato and the others who were still around Uchiha Tunan and said in a deep voice:
"If you don't want to leave, why are you still here?
I also want to represent Konoha to talk to Tunan about the reconstruction of the orphanage.
Do you think I will make things difficult for Konoha's hero?"
Minato and the others looked at Danzo, and then looked at Uchiha Tunan with worry in their eyes.
Uchiha Tunan smiled at the crowd and said, "You guys go back first. I'm fine."
Minato patted Uchiha Tunan on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Tunan, if you need anything, remember to look for us. Don't take responsibility alone."
Late at night.
The crescent moon was like a lone boat traveling in the sea of clouds, occasionally shining a faint silver light through the clouds.
On the rooftop above the Hokage Rock.
The cold wind howled, and the dead grass and leaves flew all over the sky.
Uchiha Tunan and Danzo stood at the edge of the platform, looking down at Konoha, which was lit with the lights of thousands of houses.
The previous battle did not affect the enthusiasm of most villagers for the new year.
Danzo looked at the scenery of Konoha and said: "I am very curious about one thing, why did you and Hiruzen suddenly break up?"
Uchiha Tunan reached out and grabbed a fallen leaf that floated in front of him. He said calmly, "Because I killed Shinnosuke and Asma."
Danzo was slightly stunned and looked at Uchiha Tunan.
He thought of a possibility, but immediately denied it. He said with a puzzled face, "I don't quite understand."
Uchiha Tunan chuckled and let go of the fallen leaves.
He quietly watched the spinning leaves and slowly drifted downwards.
After the fallen leaves drifted away, Uchiha Tunan turned his head and said softly, "I am... Abe Akira."
As he spoke, Uchiha Tunan's expression did not change at all. Such a major secret was like a casual chat.
A hint of horror flashed across Danzo's face. He took a deep breath and stared at Uchiha Tunan in silence for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Ever since the incident in Fire Capital, all forces had secretly inquired about Abe Akira's true identity.
However, he never expected that this person was actually the Uchiha Tunan in front of him.
Danzo gradually frowned, unable to understand the meaning of Uchiha Tunan's actions. He said in a deep voice,
Then why did you tell me so easily?
Aren't you afraid that I will leak the secret?
Uchiha Tunan reached out and touched his eyes. He smiled and shook his head. "Secret. The fewer people who know about it, the higher the value."
Then, Uchiha Tunan pointed to Konoha below and looked at Danzo.
"Danzo san, if the people below know my secret, what do you think they will do?
They will have an additional discussion after dinner, that's all."
The reason why Uchiha Tunan said this secret was only to obtain the right to make the first move.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew this secret, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a state of breaking off with him.
Then it was destined that this secret would not be hidden for too long.
As long as one person knew about this secret, it would no longer be called a secret.
Taking advantage of the fact that Danzo still did not know about this secret, if he took the initiative to say it, it would make Danzo less vigilant and more trusting of him.
It could also be considered as displaying the final value of this secret.
After all, he estimated that he would be associated with Danzo for a period of time.
If Danzo suddenly found out about this secret, there might be estrangement between the two of them.
Danzo's eyes narrowed, and he thought for a moment, then said in a low voice:
"Since you broke up with Hiruzen because of this, I don't know why Hiruzen didn't summon Konoha's Ninjas to kill you."
"..."
Uchiha Tunan looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and said lightly,
"You should know that I have fought with Teacher Sarutobi not long ago.
In a one-on-one fight, he can't do anything to me.
Moreover, I killed Orochimaru and almost killed Tsunade today.
I have already killed one and a half of Konoha's Sannin.
Once I shed all pretense of cordiality and start fighting in Konoha, I don't need to win.
As long as I can maintain my calm for half an hour.
Do you think Uchiha's clan will participate?"
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
Obviously, when mentioning the Uchiha clan, Danzo's eyes seemed to become much sharper.
Uchiha Tunan looked at Danzo without the slightest fear, shaking his head and saying,
"In fact, I thought that Teacher Sarutobi was the kind of person who would be selfless for the sake of the village.
His will of fire could be said to be the enlightenment of my will awakening.
Until later, I gradually found some clues.
I found that Teacher Sarutobi was not as selfless as he seemed on the surface.
His selfishness was greater than anyone else, and his desire was never satisfied.
Especially the Fire Capital, it almost caused my belief to collapse."
Danzo raised his eyebrows: "What exactly happened in the Fire Capital?"
Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes and said with a look of reminiscence:
"I am the temporary captain of the city guards in the Fire Capital. I have always abided by my duty and punished the residents of the area.
I killed batch after batch of sinners and rescued hundreds of orphans from the human trafficking organization.
In order to not delay the growth of those orphans, I disguised myself as Abe Akira and taught these orphans.
For some reason, I actually attracted the attention of the Daimyo and was invited to teach the two Princes.
After entering the Daimyo mansion, I finally discovered Shinnosuke's true face"
Danzo became interested and said in a deep voice: "Is Shinnosuke not only going to be the guardian of the 12 Ninjas, but also secretly carrying out a secret mission?"
Uchiha Tunan nodded with a serious face:
"When I was teaching the two Highnesses, I accidentally heard that Shinnosuke often instilled the power of Konoha ninjas to the Highness at that time.
He wanted the Daimyo to abolish the other 11 Ninjas after succession, and all of them were replaced by Konoha's Ninjas.
I think you should know the consequences of this."
Danzo was silent, and the consequences of this situation were obvious.
The life and death of the Daimyo was in the hands of the Hokage, and the so-called village and country system was simply useless.
Thousands of years of thinking had long been rooted in the hearts of the people in the ninja world.
This kind of thing, even during the Warring States period, no one dared to do it.
Danzo had been plotting for so long for the position of the Hokage, but he never dared to touch it.
I didn't expect that you would be so ambitious.
Uchiha Tunan continued to explain,
"His Highness was ignorant of the world at that time and did not know the stakes.
Although I am a Konoha Ninja, I know that the hands of the village can not reach to Daimyo mansion.
If he did this, it would be treason.
Obviously, Teacher Sarutobi was not satisfied with controlling the village. He wanted to control the whole country of fire.
Under my secret advice, the Great Prince seemed to reject Shinnosuke's proposal, and he was more vigilant about Konoha.
Shinnosuke was angry and tried to assassinate the Great Prince.
Fortunately, his method of framing was full of loopholes and was exposed by the other eleven guardians.
Then they had a great battle in the capital of fire and almost one-third of the capital was destroyed.
I hesitated for a long time and finally decided to kill this unstable factor in the ninja world with my own hands.
In this way, the murderer died, and Teacher Sarutobi's plan fell through.
The Daimyo and Konoha wouldn't go against each other."
After listening, Danzo subconsciously nodded, and then he thought of something and asked:
"No, if you really said that, then why did you kill Asuma?"
Uchiha Tunan looked up into the distance and sighed:
"Cut off his selfishness, so that he can wholeheartedly govern Konoha.
Of course, I know that this is unfair to Teacher Sarutobi, but I can think of a way to make up for him.
I am even willing to replace Shinnosuke and Asuma and serve him as a son.
Everything, for Konoha."
A strange look flashed in Danzo's eyes.
He felt that the brain of this kid in front of him was really abnormal.
However, such a stubborn and powerful person might be most suitable for cooperation.
He immediately coughed and said, "What kind of person do you think this old man is?"
Uchiha Tunan glanced at Danzo and said bluntly:
"He is vicious and unscrupulous.
He repeatedly sent his men to find trouble with me."
As soon as these words came out, Danzo clenched his fists, thinking that Uchiha Tunan was ready to turn against him.
But what Uchiha Tunan said next dispelled his worries.
"However, a general's success is like the withering of a thousand bones, and those who achieve great things do not care about minor details.
If it was before, I would think that Lord Danzo, you are an absolute villain.
But after coming back from the Fire Capital, I secretly observed you several times.
Especially today when I suffered unfair treatment, you are willing to stand on the side of justice.
I suddenly found that I used to think a little biased towards you.
If I am right, you are interested in the position of Hokage, so you used all kinds of methods to cut off the wings of Teacher Sarutobi.
For example, Lord White Fang, and me."
"Yes, I did all of those things." Danzo immediately admitted.
"Konoha has already decayed under the leadership of Hiruzen.
Only I can lead Konoha to a new life.
Tunan, if you support my becoming the Hokage.
I can guarantee that Konoha will be a thousand times better than it is now."
Uchiha Tunan immediately stared at Danzo solemnly and said:
"This matter is very important. Can I hear your philosophy?"
Danzo knew that the critical moment had arrived.
As long as he managed to convince Uchiha Tunan, he would be able to obtain a follower comparable to the Sannin.
He immediately took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "As long as I go on stage, the first thing I will do is..."
Following Danzo's narration, Uchiha Tunan's expression was sometimes frowning, sometimes full of admiration.
In the end, Uchiha Tunan looked at Danzo with deep admiration.
"I really didn't expect that Danzo san would have such a deep understanding of the will of fire.
Many of your ideas even coincide with mine.
When the war is over, I will do my best to support you to become the Hokage."
"War?" Danzo frowned.
Uchiha Tunan nodded:
"I feel that it won't be long before the war breaks out.
During this period, I don't want Konoha to experience too much civil strife."
As the leader of Konoha's Root, they received news from each country every day.
As for the war that Uchiha Tunan mentioned, it was not too surprising.
After all, from all aspects, there was a possibility of a war breaking out. It was just that the specific time was not certain.
"I hope you remember what you said today.
The welfare institute's funds will probably not be given to you.
But it doesn't matter. I can allocate the funds to you."
A hint of joy appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face. He put his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to Danzo and said, "Thank you very much, Danzo san."
Danzo looked at Uchiha Tunan's behavior and nodded with satisfaction.
A talent like Uchiha Tunan would definitely be able to provide him with great help in the future.
We can't be too hasty in recruiting talents. Today is just the foreplay.
He immediately reached out and patted Uchiha Tunan on the shoulder, then turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, Danzo seemed to think of something. He paused and slightly looked sideways.
"By the way, a few days ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi has demoted you from Jounin to Chuunin.
The reason is that you don't have enough mission.
In addition, you are the one participating in the honorary Chuunin competition.
I can't change this either. You have to be careful."
After Danzo left, Uchiha Tunan straightened up, narrowed his eyes, and murmured,
"It seems that you want me to die in the Fire Capital."
Then, Uchiha Tunan turned around and looked at the brightly lit Konoha Hospital.
After this incident, Tsunade, this old woman, should not find trouble for him for a short time.
In this case, he did not have a legitimate reason to kill her.
Uchiha Tunan pondered for a while, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved up.
If there was no reason, then she might as well create a reason for herself.
This reason had to make it seem like Tsunade had no reason, but it had to be enough to stimulate her.
As the saying goes, if you have enmity, you are not a gentleman.
Uchiha Tunan was a gentleman who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
A leaf fluttered and fell on the top of Uchiha Tunan's head.
When it was about to touch Uchiha Tunan, Uchiha Tunan disappeared from the rooftop.
At this time, in the hospital.
Tsunade was still lying on the bed in a coma.
It was not that her injuries were serious.
It was just that the side effects of the phobia were too big, so she could not wake up.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya and silent were all in the ward.
Tsunade's identity was too important. If she was killed by an expert like Uchiha Tunan who sneaked in.
Then it would be a big problem.
In the ward, Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking nonstop.
He immediately took out his pipe, went to the window, put his head close, lit the cigarette, and smoked one mouthful after another.
"Jiraiya, when Tsunade wakes up, you must hold her back. Don't let her find trouble with Tunan."
Jiraiya nodded and said, "I know, I am not an unreasonable person."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking and his eyes narrowed. The scenes of him and Uchiha Tunan appeared in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He could only say,
"You have to be careful with Tunan in the future. He may not be as simple as you think."
Hearing this, Jiraiya in the ward picked up the fruit from Tsunade's bedside and took a bite. "Old man, can you make it clearer?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a mouthful of smoke and slowly shook his head.
"There are some things that I can't tell you right now. You just have to remember to keep your distance from him.
In addition, he was a member of the Uchiha Clan, and his reputation among the villagers was very good.
If I let Tsunade find trouble with him again, it will be very difficult for me to deal with it."
"Well, since you are not willing to say it, forget it.
Shizune, you go back to rest first, I and the old man will guard here.
If Tsunade doesn't wake up tomorrow, you have to continue to treat her.
You have to keep enough energy."
Hearing this, Shizune looked at the unconscious Tsunade and nodded: "Well, then I'll have to trouble the Hokage and Jiraiya san."
