Chapter 126: Cowardice! Cowardice!
"Ha? That thing!"
Tsunade, who was originally somewhat flustered...
Upon hearing this, her face was full of surprise and astonishment.
Danzō? That dog...
"Does he deserve to be Hokage?"
Tsunade's impression of Danzō had always been like a rat in a sewer.
He didn't have much upfront strength, but his schemes and plots were more hateful than anyone else's.
Hearing this, Orochimaru wasn't very surprised.
After all, being able to say such things fit Tsunade's character.
"Ma! You can't deny his dream just because he's stupid!"
Danzō had always been obsessed with the Hokage position.
The current Orochimaru had some dealings with Danzō.
However, Orochimaru was somewhat dissatisfied with Danzō.
After all, Orochimaru had always felt that his research on science was absolutely correct.
Why did it have to be conducted in secret and couldn't be brought to the light?
If there wasn't a chance, then fine.
But now, seeing an opportunity, Orochimaru would naturally think of a way to kick out Danzō, this hindrance.
Orochimaru hadn't forgotten...
Before the war started, Aoyama Ryūun and Orochimaru had an agreement...
As long as Orochimaru dealt with Dan Katō...
Then Aoyama Ryūun promised him one condition.
Orochimaru felt this was a perfect opportunity.
Tsunade didn't know Orochimaru was calculating.
However, after hearing about matters concerning Danzō...
Tsunade's face was still full of disdain.
"Such trash wants to be Hokage? Unless there's no one left in Konoha!"
In Tsunade's view, unless Konoha's high-end combat power all died out...
Danzō would definitely not have a chance to become Hokage.
"Then what do you think, Tsunade? Do you want to try being a Hokage?"
Orochimaru didn't care about Danzō.
Shrugging, he looked at Tsunade probingly.
Although Aoyama Ryūun had paved the way, Tsunade also had to be willing.
"Ma! Then let's try!"
After all, this is the Konoha founded by her grandfather and granduncle.
So Tsunade hoped...
That this Konoha could get better and better.
...
Sarutobi Hiruzen also received the news.
He originally thought Aoyama Ryūun would take some time...
To solve the trouble of Iwagakure.
But the result...
Just as he compromised on the future Hokage position...
Aoyama Ryūun beat Iwagakure back to their home.
Isn't it obvious he's playing Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Before, when this old man didn't compromise, he found excuses not to support.
Now that this old man stopped insisting, he won directly.
Under such contrast...
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt more and more that the perfunctory reasons Aoyama Ryūun used before...
Appeared so retarded.
"This Aoyama Ryūun!"
Angry, but there was no helping it.
For the sake of a good reputation, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only endure it.
"Ahem! Um..."
At this time, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who were also in the conference room...
After hesitating for a moment, cleared their throats and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hmm?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and looked at the two of them.
"It's like this!"
Although it felt somewhat shameful...
But if one can live, who would seek death?
So Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura said:
"Since Aoyama Ryūun is coming to support, then there's no need for us, right!"
"Yeah, yeah! After all, the relationship between us and that Aoyama Ryūun isn't very good!"
Hmm! Reasonable and well-founded.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura both spoke with solemn faces.
But hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat speechless.
"Are you afraid of death?"
"Impossible!"
The denial was righteous!
"We are Konoha Elders, how could we be afraid of death!"
If not for the ghostly experience of running away on the battlefield...
Maybe Sarutobi Hiruzen would really believe such nonsense.
"We are mainly worried that without our management, will there be an uproar in Konoha at this time!"
"..."
What uproar could there be?
He believed that the news of Iwagakure's defeat had already spread back to Konoha.
Those ignorant civilians were probably too happy.
How could it cause much uproar?
"Right, right, right! We are all doing this for Konoha!"
Utatane Koharu on the side also nodded repeatedly.
Looking at this posture, she obviously didn't want to stay on the battlefield any longer.
Too dangerous.
Even though in every previous battle, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura...
Sensibly found a place to hide first, far away from the chaotic battlefield.
But even so, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura...
Got beaten quite a few times.
They really couldn't stay any longer.
"Enough!"
Waving his hand grumpily.
Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously didn't want to talk much about this topic.
"You can go back!"
Anyway, these two useless trash, even if they stayed, wouldn't play a good role.
It was the same whether they went back or not.
"Great!"
"Then we'll go pack up first!"
Regardless of Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone...
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura didn't care.
Only after hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen agree to their proposal...
Were they decisively joyful.
After leaving a sentence, they turned and left with quick steps.
Judging by their appearance, they had long been prepared to find an excuse to leave the battlefield.
"..."
Looking at the decisively retreating backs of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura...
Lines of black lines involuntarily rose on Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead.
Truly retarded.
Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen was too lazy to waste thoughts on these two people.
Turning his head, he looked at Danzō on the other side.
"Danzō, do you want to go back too?"
"Do you think this old man would be afraid of that Aoyama Ryūun?"
Danzō felt slighted.
However, facing Danzō's solemn gaze...
Sarutobi Hiruzen was momentarily speechless.
What? Do you think you can outdo Aoyama Ryūun?
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen also understood this old friend's character.
If he really said that...
Danzō would probably stubbornly stay.
At that time, once Aoyama Ryūun arrives...
Whether Danzō can live until the end of this Ninja World War is unknown.\
