At this moment, the air in the Hokage's office seemed to solidify.
For a time, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe loudly.
The more honest a person is, the fiercer they become when they explode. Similarly, the more rational a person is usually, the more insane they become when they have no restraints.
"Re... relax a little, Koharu. Danzo didn't mean it that way," Hiruzen Sarutobi finally reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
Danzo Shimura struggled forcefully, breaking free from Koharu Utatane's hand.
He stared at Koharu Utatane with deep eyes.
However, Koharu had no reaction to Danzo's cold gaze.
Danzo then turned his gaze to Homura Mitokado. Homura Mitokado lowered his head slightly, avoiding Danzo's gaze.
He turned his gaze back to his best friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen had an awkward smile on his face. However, the more he looked, the more he felt it was full of irony and mockery.
Finally, his gaze was gradually drawn to the Hokage's hat on the table.
His eyes became increasingly deep.
Then, with a ferocious expression, he turned and pushed open the door of the office and walked out. The door made a loud noise as he moved it.
He walked down the long corridor with a gloomy face. His face became more and more ugly, and his heart became more and more painful.
He really wanted to find a place to cry. However, he told himself that a ninja must have a heart that does not shed tears, no matter what the situation!
"You are the Leaf Village bathed in sunlight, and I am the Root in the darkness," he recalled the words he said to Hiruzen when he founded Root.
At that time, he said those words sincerely.
"Danzo, I'm sorry. You are a good person and should find someone better." This was the scene when Koharu rejected him when he was about to go to the battlefield.
At that time, he was heartbroken by this rejection.
He thought that with the passage of time, he had already let go, but it seemed that he had been deceiving himself all along.
He had only suppressed his emotions for more than a decade!
He really yearned for... the Hokage... and not the dark Root...
He really yearned for... love... and not another rejection...
"Why! Why!"
"Why can't I compete with Hiruzen for the position of Hokage! Can't I even compete with Kagami Uchiha for a woman? Why am I such a failure!"
"Didn't Hiruzen just decide a few seconds earlier than me to be the bait? Why is the Hokage his!"
"Kagami Uchiha, he's just a dead man, why should I compare myself to him? He couldn't even beat me when he was alive! Where am I not good enough? This foolish woman. Damn it, you all look down on me!"
"Power! It must be because I don't have power! Why don't I have the power like the First Hokage or Madara Uchiha?"
"If I had that kind of power, becoming the strongest in the ninja world, I could have whatever I wanted! Hokage, and Koharu Utatane, would all be mine..."
Danzo Shimura slowly walked to his Root headquarters. The sunlight shone on him, but he couldn't feel any warmth.
The Root headquarters was deep underground. Danzo slowly walked into the entrance, the sunlight slowly disappeared from his body, and his body went from light to darkness.
At the same time, the atmosphere inside the office was silent.
Koharu Utatane sat up straight, pulled on her robe, and closed her eyes as if she were asleep. It seemed that nothing had happened.
The surrounding air seemed to have solidified.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had a headache over this kind of thing. He wasn't an expert when it came to emotional problems between teammates, so what could he do?
They all loved each other to death, and he was also very desperate.
If he had a ninjutsu that could control other people's thoughts, then there would be nothing to say!
As his best friend, Danzo—who else could Hiruzen help but him? He had to make Danzo happy—
—First, control Danzo to fall in love with himself.
Then, control Koharu to fall in love with himself as well.
Wouldn't everyone be happy? Sacrificing himself to fulfill everyone else.
There wouldn't be so many things to worry about. It's a pity that he doesn't have this kind of ninjutsu. Danzo's happiness is gone just like that, it's such a pity.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Koharu Utatane sitting in front of him.
As the most outstanding female ninja of their generation, she was indeed impeccable.
Whether it was as the disciple of the Second Hokage, or her rational thinking and rigorous work style, these labels undoubtedly gave her a large number of admirers.
Moreover, she was the only medical ninja in their team.
She had saved these people many times.
Everyone had a good impression of her.
Danzo had been pulled back from the brink of death by her many times. It was not surprising that he had feelings for Koharu.
The pair of scars on his chin were left by Koharu when she performed surgery on him.
Danzo had always regarded this scar as a badge of love.
It was just a pity. Koharu had a better impression of Kagami in the team.
As a genius of the Uchiha clan and a disciple of the Second Hokage, Kagami was humble and very passionate about Konoha.
Therefore, there had always been calls for Kagami to inherit the position of Third Hokage.
Danzo also knew that he couldn't compare to Kagami Uchiha. Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that after so many years, these feelings should have dissipated.
Who knew that they would suddenly erupt today.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt cold all over. He knew that if he didn't give Koharu a reasonable explanation, his fate would not be better than Danzo's.
Koharu would not give him, the Hokage, any face. He didn't want to be as embarrassed as Danzo.
So he quickly said, "Uchiha Shan's reason is indeed something I cannot refuse."
"So, you agreed to him?" Koharu Utatane narrowed her eyes.
"How could I! I refused him on the spot. And scolded him severely," Hiruzen Sarutobi said immediately.
Anyway, it's not illegal to brag.
"But Uchiha Shan then proposed that if the Uchiha clan's jonin is not suitable, then Orochimaru should be the leader of Team Tatsumi," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
"Orochimaru?" Homura Mitokado asked in surprise.
"That's right. His reason is that Tsunade is only proficient in taijutsu and medical ninjutsu. Tatsumi has a lot of talent in genjutsu and ninjutsu. Orochimaru is more suitable for his growth," Hiruzen Sarutobi replied.
Koharu Utatane's eyes became deep.
What was the other party planning? Obviously, proposing that Tatsumi's team leader be a jonin from the Uchiha clan was just a guise.
The purpose was only for the second request. However, this request was indeed very good for Tatsumi.
Koharu Utatane initially suggested that Tsunade lead the team, only considering Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, and did not consider Tatsumi's future growth.
Orochimaru was undoubtedly the most suitable for Tatsumi. However, what was the other party planning?
For a time, Koharu Utatane was a little confused.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said after a moment of silence, "I agreed to this request. After all, the other party is the head of the Uchiha clan. I can refuse the first time, but I can't refuse twice in a row."
A gust of wind suddenly swept outside the window, knocking on the window, and the wind was rising.
Then Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and waved his hand, "This matter ends here, quickly recall the team leader jonin."
