Konoha Village.
Inside the Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his old pipe and took two puffs.
"Danzo is back?"
An Anbu stood in the room and respectfully nodded to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Yes! He's already in the Village!"
"Good, I understand. You may go."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said to the Anbu in front of him.
"Understood!"
The Anbu nodded crisply, then disappeared from the room, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting at his desk, smoking.
"This war has dragged on for too long…"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his eyes filled with weariness.
He stood by the window, gazing at the head of Senju Tobirama carved into the Hokage Rock, and murmured softly.
"Teacher, I will definitely protect Konoha! Absolutely!"
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was deep in thought, a rush of footsteps came from the corridor.
The next second!
The door to the Hokage Office was forcefully pushed open.
"Danzo, you…"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head helplessly, his back to the door.
In all of Konoha, besides his student Tsunade, only Danzo dared to be so disrespectful to him.
Now Tsunade was on the Land of Rivers front line, so who else could it be but Danzo?
"Danzo! Your injuries?!"
"What happened?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils sharply contracted, his aura surging like ocean waves.
His good friend in front of him had his entire right arm tightly wrapped in bandages, and even his right eye was bandaged.
He thought Danzo only had minor injuries, but it turned out to be this serious?
"Monkey! That's not important!"
"Why did you send the Uchiha to the Land of Rivers? Have you forgotten what Teacher Tobirama said? Aren't you just handing battle merits to the evil Uchiha?!"
"Monkey! What exactly are you thinking?!"
Danzo didn't care about his own injuries at all.
However, he was very concerned about the large number of Uchiha clan members appearing on the Land of Rivers front line.
Originally, Danzo was fully in charge of the front line against Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Rivers, and even Tsunade could only serve as his deputy, but after Danzo was injured, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Danzo had no objection to being transferred back.
But before he left, he actually saw Uchiha people coming to reinforce the front line!
This made Danzo furious, and he immediately rushed back to Konoha.
He wanted to question Hiruzen Sarutobi face-to-face, asking if he had forgotten the will of his teacher, Senju Tobirama.
Tsunade could earn these battle merits, Sarutobi could earn them, and even Jiraiya could earn them.
But the Uchiha alone could not!
"Danzo… your injuries!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even bother to smoke his cigarette, looking at Danzo's injuries, his voice trembling slightly.
"Monkey, that's not the point!"
Danzo wanted to retort, but seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, he still explained.
"Tsunade has already healed me, I won't die!"
"Now I ask you, why did you send the Uchiha to the front line? Don't you know what that means?"
Seeing that Danzo's injuries had been treated.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally took a puff of his cigarette, and sat weakly in his chair, saying:
"I know, Danzo."
"But the war has been going on for so many years, the Village's active forces are no longer enough. Civilian Ninja have suffered heavy casualties, and you know the strength of the Uchiha. They can greatly reduce the Village's casualties."
Bang!
Danzo slammed the table and roared, "Monkey! This will allow the Uchiha to gain battle merits!"
"These evil Uchiha should be annihilated!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, looking at the agitated Danzo in front of him.
His friend had perfectly inherited the will of his teacher, Senju Tobirama, especially in his targeting of the Uchiha, which was even more extreme than his teacher, Senju Tobirama.
"Danzo, the Village's casualties are too severe!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone became serious.
The Second Great Ninja War had been going on for several years now.
From the initial chaotic battles in Hidden Rain Village, to the fights with Iwagakure and Hidden Mist, and then to Konoha's battles with Sunagakure and Kumogakure.
The Five Great Ninja Villages were all extremely exhausted.
Even the strongest Konoha was struggling now.
If they continued to hold back the Uchiha from the battlefield, not only would the Uchiha not be able to endure it, but even Hiruzen Sarutobi would not be able to bear it.
"Monkey! You'll regret this!"
Hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and blurted out.
"Danzo! I am the Hokage!"
After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat stunned.
After all, Danzo had just returned injured, was he being too harsh?
Seeing Danzo forcefully pull open the door, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly spoke.
"Danzo, you've been on the front line for half a year, and your child has been born, but Misako…"
"I've placed that child in the daycare. Go and pick him up and take him home!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the Hokage Rock outside the window:
"I named that child Feng!"
"Where tree leaves dance, flames will burn. I hope that child can bring a hopeful wind to Konoha, making its flames burn even brighter."
Danzo's footsteps paused, and he let out a cold snort.
"My child doesn't need you to concern yourself with him!"
Bang!
Looking at the tightly shut door, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
"I hope Danzo's personality will improve after having a child…"
..."Mrs. Nohara, you're here?"
Ah Jing saw Mrs. Nohara and rushed to greet her as if she had seen a savior.
"That child doesn't seem to dislike me!"
Mrs. Nohara had a gentle smile on her face.
She was also secretly delighted, after all, no other lady before Shimura Kaede had managed not to be disliked on the second day, and only she had persevered.
This child had been drinking her milk for a month.
"Little one, I'm here to see you!"
Mrs. Nohara walked to Shimura Kaede's door, but her steps suddenly halted.
"Huh? Who are you?"
At Shimura Kaede's bedside stood a middle-aged man with his arm covered in bandages, even his right eye was bandaged, and he exuded a chilling aura.
"You are Nohara Yuko?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
Nohara Yuko nodded, looking at Danzo in confusion.
She was just a civilian, she had never seen an important figure like Danzo, and Danzo didn't often move around in the Village, so very few people knew him.
"I am this child's… father. From now on, you will take care of this child. Someone will tell you where to go later!"
After speaking.
Shimura Danzo left the room directly, his face extremely pale.
"This child hasn't inherited any of my genes, he's actually so… lecherous?"
When Danzo arrived, he had heard about Shimura Kaede's glorious history, and for a moment he was speechless.
This lecherous behavior, how is it a bit like Hiruzen Sarutobi's?
The name was given by the monkey, and he hadn't been back for a long time. This child… if this child wasn't so similar to him, Danzo would even doubt if he was his own.
"Huh, what does this mean?"
Nohara Yuko looked bewildered. Just as she was about to ask, Danzo had already left the room. She helplessly picked up Shimura Kaede from the crib and gently placed him against her chest.
"Little one, eat quickly…"
At this moment.
Shimura Kaede, who was eating, felt completely unwell.
"My dad is Danzo?!"
"It's over, the sky has fallen!"
Although he already knew his surname was Shimura, Shimura Kaede really didn't know that Shimura Danzo was his father.
He originally thought he was just an ordinary Shimura clan member, but today he met the "Pot Shadow," and he even claimed to be his father. Wasn't this a joke?
In the original work, it never said that Shimura Danzo had children?
Shimura Kaede suddenly lost his appetite. If he wasn't too hungry, he really wouldn't want to eat.
If there was anyone in all of Naruto who couldn't be whitewashed.
It would probably be his father, Danzo, a character that even AB couldn't whitewash, a character who completely took the blame.
He was black from head to toe, comparable to Black Zetsu.
As the king of scapegoats in the entire Naruto world, Shimura Danzo was the most sinister one, secretly harming countless people.
Now you're telling me he's my dad?
"I have a lot of enemies…"
