Chapter 24: Infighting Expert, Danzo Gets Beaten

Spreading out a scroll on the table, Sarutobi Hiruzen gestured for the others to take a look.

The three of them leaned forward and read the contents of the scroll.

Rather than straining their necks, Danzo simply grabbed the scroll and placed it in front of himself.

"Danzo!"

"What are you thinking?"

Homura and Koharu were furious at the scroll being taken away by Danzo.

"Aren't you tired of straining your necks? It's the same if I read it first and then show it to you," Danzo calmly replied without looking up, quickly scanning the scroll's contents.

Witnessing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless and did not intervene.

After a while, Danzo finished reading.

"Hanzo wants the Rain Shinobi Village to become the Sixth Ninja Village..."

Danzo turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen, expressing his opinion without any intention of handing over the scroll to the other two.

"Danzo! That's too much!"

"You don't take us, the two consultants, seriously!"

Homura and Koharu couldn't hold back their anger and scolded Danzo. But it seemed useless. Danzo didn't even glance at them. He composed himself and continued speaking.

"The reason why our Five Great Ninja Villages are considered great is not just because we are strong, but because we possess the Tailed Beasts! What does the Rain Shinobi Village have? Just Hanzo, and they want to participate in resource distribution?"

Danzo sneered, unaware that he had overlooked the fact that the Hidden Waterfall Village also possessed Tailed Beasts.

Suddenly, Homura snatched the scroll from Danzo's hand and looked at it with Koharu. This gave Sarutobi Hiruzen an illusion.

It seemed that among them, only Danzo had the ability to participate in major decision-making.

Didn't they see that Danzo had finished speaking? Homura and Koharu were still scratching their heads to read the information.

"So, how do you think Konoha should respond?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, looking at Danzo.

"Fight! We must fight!" Danzo's tone was firm as he continued.

"The Third Kazekage of the Sand Shinobi Village is ambitious. He has annexed the Land of Rivers and pushed the front line to the border of our Fire Country. If we can open up a passage through the Land of Rain, we can launch an attack on the Sand Shinobi from both sides."

Indeed, not only did Danzo think this way, but Sarutobi Hiruzen also shared the same perspective.

Based on the current situation, if they don't take action in the Land of Rain, Konoha can only defend passively. However, if a passage is opened in the Land of Rain, Konoha can send surprise troops to flank the Sand Shinobi's front line from the side.

Hanzo's announcement came at an opportune time, providing Konoha with a perfect excuse to start a war.

Just then, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the meeting room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen furrowed his brow.

Danzo and the others turned their attention toward the door of the conference room.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

An Anbu member entered and handed a piece of information to the Third Hokage.

Looking at the intelligence in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's frown deepened.

"Let's take a look."

He threw the intelligence scroll onto the table and waited for the input of the other three.

Homura's eyes were quick, and he snatched the scroll away before Danzo could react.

Homura and Koharu huddled together, reading the information. But upon seeing it, Homura was shocked.

"Rosa? A disciple of the Third Kazekage? And he has infiltrated our country? The exact time of infiltration is uncertain."

Mitokado Homura paled in shock and stood up with a crackling sound.

He was genuinely worried because his son had already gone to the No. 1 supply station, and if he encountered Luo Sha, he would be in grave danger.

"As a consultant, why are you so impatient?" Danzo's tone was mocking.

Although he didn't know the content of the scroll, as a high-ranking member of Konoha, Danzo believed that composure and calmness were essential.

Being ridiculed by Danzo, Homura couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Enough is enough!"

Homura angrily punched Danzo in the face.

Boom!

Bang!

"Damn it!"

Danzo never expected that the village consultants would actually attack him.

Consequently, he fell to the ground along with the chair, and a large lump formed on the back of his head. Originally, Danzo thought it would end there.

But what he didn't anticipate was Utatane Koharu stepping forward and kicking him in the head.

"Stop!"

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen swiftly shouted, preventing the kick from landing on Danzo's face.

"What are you doing? One assistant and two consultants fighting in the meeting room? Is this how high-ranking village members behave?"
