Chapter 126 Hiruzen: Putting aside the facts, isn’t Sakumo wrong?
If today's matter is not about Danzo, it is about his prestige in the village.
He has already taken the initiative to apologize and spit on his face.
But not now. Once you give in now, all the dark sides of the roots will be brought to light.
By then, the village's current power system will inevitably be purged, and he will lose control of the village!
Not only that, looking at Kakashi's posture, he is afraid that he will take down both Koharu and Yan!
He knew that Koharu and Yan had a lot of interests in privately dealing with Danzo!
Otherwise, how could the Tenden clan and the Mitomon clan develop so quickly!
As for himself, as the Third Hokage, he certainly did not seek personal gain with power.
But the elders of the Sarutobi clan couldn't stand it and secretly made deals with Danzo!
In this regard, Hiruzen could only turn a blind eye or close one eye.
There is no way, without the strong support of these families.
He was verbally appointed by Tobirama-sama back then without any written proof, so he could not secure his position!
After receiving such a great favor from the four tribes, he naturally couldn't do it now when he was asked to watch the four tribes suffer.
Although he was once Hokage, he was still a human after all!
As long as you are a human being, you can't do anything to destroy your family!
Hiruzen, who successfully convinced himself, apologized to Sakumo deep in his heart.
Then he was heartbroken, looked at Kakashi and said in a deep voice:
"Kakashi, I can understand your feeling of redressing your father's grievance, but after all, your words are unfounded."
"Besides, even if Danzo really did something, Sakumo did abandon his mission on the battlefield, causing losses to the Fire Nation!"
"Putting aside the matter of Danzo, doesn't Sakumo have any fault at all?"
Typical, really classic!
As expected of you, the Third Hokage!
No wonder you can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in the village and enjoy everyone's praise.
With your ability to sophistry, in a ninja world where ninjas believe that if you can do anything, you won't beep too much, and generally your ability to escape with your mouth is average, it is completely a dimensionality-reducing attack!
Kakashi laughed angrily.
"Hahahahaha, what a big joke!"
"So even you think it was wrong for my father to give up his mission for the sake of his fellow villagers, right?"
"Okay, good!"
"Then I would like to ask our beloved third-generation elder, what are the duties of the Hokage Guards?"
"Of course I swear to protect the safety of the Hokage to the death. I remember that when we were guarding the Second Hokage, we all fulfilled our duties!"
Before Hiruzen could speak, Koharu puffed up his chest and said proudly after turning to bed.
Joining the Second Hokage's guard team and accompanying Lord Tobirama to death is an achievement worthy of her bragging for a lifetime!
It is also one of the important reasons why she is qualified to become Hokage's consultant!
"Koharu!"
Hiruzen shouted, trying to interrupt her.
After having a verbal exchange with Kakashi for so long, he had realized that the other party was not the kind of ordinary ninja who only had a superficial understanding of politics.
Rather, he is a master with extremely high political sensitivity and can easily turn the situation to his advantage!
He has not encountered an opponent of this level for a long time.
It even gave him the pleasure of meeting his opponent in chess!
In comparison, both Fugaku and Hizashi were weak.
Completely at his disposal.
Now that the other party suddenly asked this question, he must have set a trap, just waiting for him to get into it!
But Xiaochun took the initiative to jump in!
Hey~
Such a comparison makes the third generation miss Danzo even more.
clap clap clap!
"well said!"
"Counsellor Koharu said it very well. He is indeed a ninja who served as Lord Tobirama's escort. He is just aware!"
Kakashi praised him repeatedly and clapped his hands.
what's going on?
Why did Kakashi suddenly change his gender and start praising him?
Could it be that he was impressed by the charisma he just showed?
Koharu, who was about to reply immediately no matter what Kakashi said, was confused when he went to bed.
Before she could react, Kakashi changed the topic and yelled angrily:
"Then I would like to ask Advisor Koharu why you, who were supposed to protect Lord Tobirama to the death, gave up on this mission, abandoned Lord Tobirama and came back alone!"
"You fart, everyone present knows that it was Master Tobirama who sacrificed his life back then to cover our evacuation!"
When Xiaochun heard this, he felt like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his hair suddenly exploded.
"Oh, so that's it."
Kakashi gave her a contemptuous look.
"Then I'm surprised. As a member of the Hokage Guards, protecting Hokage must be our top priority, even if we sacrifice our lives!"
"In that situation, shouldn't we try our best to stop Tobirama-sama? Even if we commit suicide on the spot if necessary, wouldn't we be a drag on Tobirama-sama?"
"It turned out to be a good thing for you, so you just left Tobirama-sama and ran away?"
"Is this your consciousness?"
"With all due respect, Tobirama-sama, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique and should have been able to move freely on the battlefield, was completely killed by you!"
"Elder Hiruzen, if I were you."
"The moment I learn of Lord Tobirama's death, I will choose to commit suicide by caesarean section and die to apologize!"
"The worst thing to do is to plead guilty and resign from all positions to repent!"
"And you can actually sit on the position of Hokage with your face licked, you are so unshakable!"
Kakashi scoffed disdainfully.
"You're such a dirty kid, you're talking nonsense!"
"It was clear that Tobirama-sama took the initiative to sacrifice himself at that time and personally gave the order on the battlefield for Hiruzen to inherit the position of Hokage."
"Hiruzhan is the right one to sit in this position, who is dissatisfied?!"
When Xiaochun heard this, he jumped anxiously.
"Oh, is it so?"
"But you just told me personally that the order of the Hokage Guards is to defend Hokage to the death!"
"Didn't what you did violate the basic principle of ninja mission first?"
"What's more, as the Second Hokage, Tobirama-sama clearly could have left, but out of consideration for his companions, he chose to sacrifice himself to save you."
"This also goes against the principle of being Hokage and putting the village first!"
"After all, for the village at that time, sacrificing a Hokage and only getting back a few of you Jonin was not cost-effective at all, right?"
"Then can I think that the Second Hokage also gave up his original mission to save his companions?"
"If that's the case, then I really don't understand it."
"It's the same as giving up the mission. Why is the Second Hokage praised by others? Hiruzen Sarutobi can become Hokage, and the two of you can become Hokage advisors."
"But my father, who made the same choice as the Second Hokage, can only bear infamy and will not have peace after death!"
Kakashi asked a series of questions, and Koharu was so angry that he went to bed and trembled all over.
She pointed at Kakashi angrily: "You, how dare you slander Lord Tobirama..."
"Oh? I said nothing about Tobirama-sama, didn't I?"
"Counsellor Koharu, I'm just talking about the Ninja Code!"
"The ninja code that convicted my father and nailed him to the pillar of shame!"
"Or is it that the so-called ninja code has no effect on you guys, and is just a reason to control other ninjas?"
"That's right. After all, you are all personally trained by Lord Tobirama. You have been close friends who wore a pair of pants and a quilt since childhood!"
"Then can I understand it this way? The final interpretation of the so-called Ninja Code belongs to the Third Generation."
"When the Third Generation Master needs it, no one can violate it."
"If the Third Generation doesn't need it anymore, then it's just a decoration?"
Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and asked innocently.
Hearing this, the heads of the various families present looked at each other.
Yes, even though Kakashi’s words don’t sound nice, they make sense!
You all were Lord Tobirama's bodyguards back then!
Isn't it your duty to guard Tobirama-sama's safety to the death?
But it's not bad for you. Lord Tobirama died in the battle, but you guys escaped back in a hurry.
They all became high-level officials in the village, and Hiruzen even became the Hokage!
If that's all, forget it.
As a result, you turned around and nailed White Fang to the pillar of shame for making the same choice!
Such a double standard approach is really shameless!
