Chapter 127: Danzō Indicates He Was Scared
There was no helping it; Sarutobi Hiruzen could only offer kind words of advice.
His attitude was completely different from how he treated Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura before.
Sure enough, Danzō was special in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.
"I understand what you mean, but for the sake of Konoha, you need to endure!"
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort...
Danzō was also a person who cared about face.
Just right, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him a way out, so Danzō naturally took it.
"I'm just giving you face. If that Aoyama Ryūun were here, this old man..."
Still trying to act tough!
No matter what, he refused to admit defeat.
However, before he could finish, Aoyama Ryūun's voice came from outside the conference room.
"I'm here. So what?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzō stopped discussing at the same time.
They looked towards the conference room door in astonishment.
They saw Aoyama Ryūun, shouldering his Kanabo, walking calmly into the conference room.
Meeting Danzō's gaze, Aoyama Ryūun grinned.
"Ryūun, you arrived so quickly?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat astonished.
The distance between Iwagakure and Kirigakure was not short.
How did he get here so fast?
Shrugging, Aoyama Ryūun explained casually:
"I can fly!"
"Uh!"
Being able to fly is amazing!
It had to be said, being able to fly was truly amazing.
In the Ninja World, the ability to fly was extremely rare.
However, this explained...
Why Aoyama Ryūun could arrive here so quickly.
Aoyama Ryūun didn't care about Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.
He looked at Danzō with a smile.
"Just now, Elder Danzō was saying something. I'm here now, so what?"
"..."
Keep pretending. He didn't expect Aoyama Ryūun to actually arrive.
One could imagine how suffocated Danzō felt inside.
"This old man didn't say anything!"
Although he wanted to be brave and tell Aoyama Ryūun directly that this old man wasn't afraid at all, and challenge him to a fight if he had the ability...
But after seeing Aoyama Ryūun's strength...
Danzō was a little cowardly.
He silently retreated to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.
Judging by his appearance, he wasn't going to fight.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also helpless.
Couldn't you talk big in front of me? Now that Aoyama Ryūun is here, you can't say a word.
Simply shameful!
Although he despised him inwardly, he was an old friend after all.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could only step forward to mediate.
"Ahem! Ryūun, actually we were just discussing that if you came, couldn't we leave?"
"After all, Konoha needs us!"
"Need?"
Aoyama Ryūun was stunned at first.
Then he laughed out directly.
"Need you to go and cause harm?"
With just a few useless trash, can they bring any benefits to Konoha?
Aoyama Ryūun never saved face for others when speaking.
Especially when the other party was two idiots like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzō.
"..."
Danzō's face darkened somewhat.
"Hiruzen! This old man is leaving first!"
After leaving a sentence to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzō turned and left directly.
When passing Aoyama Ryūun...
Danzō thought about whether to leave a ruthless remark.
Otherwise, leaving like this would be too shameful.
"Look at what! Want to fight?"
Before Danzō could speak, Aoyama Ryūun said directly.
"..."
Instantly, the ruthless remark Danzō was about to say was silenced.
He decisively walked away quickly.
Cowed!
"Tch!"
Aoyama Ryūun's face was full of disdain.
So, the so-called Darkness of Konoha was only to this extent.
Scheming against others is fine, but when it comes to actual fighting, he can't do it; he has no ability at all.
"Sigh!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, watching the show from the side, sighed helplessly.
Old friend, when will you be sensible?
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know since when Danzō started having that mysterious confidence and stubbornness.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen only hoped...
That Danzō could be sensible and restrain himself in the future.
Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen was really worried...
Whether one day...
Danzō would be directly finished off by Aoyama Ryūun for being an eyesore.
"Ahem! Ryūun, let's not talk about Danzō for now!"
Sure enough, worthy of being a thousand-year-old fox.
Even though he disliked Aoyama Ryūun just as much inwardly...
Relying on his shrewdness, Sarutobi Hiruzen could still maintain a pleasant demeanor in front of Aoyama Ryūun.
"I'll ask the Anbu to call the Uchiha clan members. Dealing with Kirigakure next will require the combined strength of you and the Uchiha clan!"
Just right, at this time, Uchiha Fugaku...
Was being led into the conference room by the Anbu.
"Lord Hokage!"
As for Aoyama Ryūun, Uchiha Fugaku had only heard of him before...
But had never seen Aoyama Ryūun.
"Fugaku!"
Smiling faintly.
"Next, I and the several Elders will return to oversee Konoha!"
"Oversee Konoha?"
Uchiha Fugaku was stunned at first.
His thoughts were similar to Aoyama Ryūun's.
Does it make a difference whether you oversee Konoha or not? You aren't just scared, are you!
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku dared to imagine such words in his heart, but saying them directly was impossible.
"But, the Kirigakure battlefield needs you, Lord Hokage!"
There was no helping it; on the Konoha side, the top combat power dealing with Kirigakure was only Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen was leaving.
You aren't thinking that our Uchiha clan alone can defeat Kirigakure, right?
You really think highly of our Uchiha clan.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, Fugaku!"
Fugaku's attitude satisfied Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Such a caring attitude...
Didn't it just prove that this old man played an indispensable role in this war?
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled happily.
"Although this old man is returning to Konoha, next, Aoyama Ryūun will take my place and lead you to deal with Kirigakure!"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Aoyama Ryūun beside him in slight astonishment.
