Inside the dark and narrow corridor.
"Pata!" "Pata!"
Soft and rhythmic footsteps slowly sounded.
Yuusuke Fuji's tall figure appeared here.
With a slight smile on his face, he came to the end of the corridor, where two oil lamps were hanging outside the door.
"Creak …"
The wooden door was gently pushed open, and Yuusuke Fuji slowly walked in.
He looked at the expressionless middle-aged man in the room and said softly.
"Sensei … Long time no see …"
As if he already knew that Yuusuke Fuji was coming, Danzo looked at him with a complicated expression and said with a hoarse voice.
"Yuusuke Fuji, congratulations on coming back alive from Sanin …"
Yuusuke Fuji heard the dissatisfaction in Danzo's voice and explained softly.
"I was careless, I underestimated the strength of Sanin, and I almost lost my life there … It's really a shame …"
Seeing Yuusuke Fuji's meek attitude, Danzo's intention to reprimand him slowly disappeared, and he said with a hoarse voice.
"Well … In any case, it's good that you came back."
Speaking of this, Danzo's eyes slightly sank and he continued.
"You can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. After this battle, even Sarutobi praised you. After so many years together, I can understand his thoughts."
"It seems that he also wants to designate you as the Fourth Hokage."
Danzo's eyes flashed with a light, and he said in a deep voice.
"And … Your obstacles are basically eliminated, whether it's Uchiha Tokino, Hatake Sho Sho, or even the guy from the Kato family, they can't compete with you."
Hearing Danzo's words, Yuusuke Fuji pretended to be thoughtful and nodded gently.
Danzo glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
"Remember, Yuusuke Fuji, don't be merciful!"
"This is the will of the heavens, you are destined to be the Hokage, and the heavens helped you clear the obstacles, and the incompetent can't fulfill the mission of the Hokage to the extreme."
"Just like the Sandaime …"
At this point, Danzo stopped talking. His eyes narrowed, and there seemed to be sparks of anger in them.
Yuusuke Fuji said softly.
"I understand, Sensei, I will do my best to fight for the position of Fourth Hokage."
Hearing Yuusuke Fuji's words, Danzo gently nodded and said slowly.
"Your body has just recovered, go back and rest early. As for the Hokage's matter, since it has come to this point, as your teacher, I will do my best to help you fight for it."
In this regard, after Suke Fujiwara replied respectfully, he slowly retreated.
Danzo sat in his seat and looked straight at Yuusuke Fuji's departing figure, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.
Truly … an outstanding disciple …
As for Yamato Yousuke, who was walking in the tunnel, the corners of his mouth curled up into an undetectable smile.
It's just the position of Hokage, Sensei … your tolerance is too narrow …
.....
Meanwhile.
In the Land of Fire.
In the lush green forest, the bright sunlight passed through the gaps of the leaves, leaving mottled light and shadow.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Three black shadows flashed across the thick tree trunk.
"Wait a minute!"
A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the forest.
A figure with short white hair suddenly stopped on the trunk, as if he remembered something, he suddenly stood still as if he was struck by lightning.
"Sho Sho, what's wrong!?"
Hearing Sho Sho's shout, Jiraiya and Tsunade quickly stopped and turned to look at him with a puzzled face.
Sho Sho lowered his head, his face was as if he couldn't believe it, and his expression was slightly sluggish.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Tsunade with a slightly trembling voice.
"Tsunade, when you were in Sanin … Yuusuke Fuji arrived at the battlefield before you …"
Hearing Sho Sho's words, Tsunade was slightly stunned.
Although he didn't know why he asked this, he thought for a moment and seriously said.
"Yes, at that time, Yuusuke Fuji arrived at the battlefield first, Orochi Maru and I, as well as Captain Fujisen, arrived later. Is there a problem, Sho Sho?"
Jiraiya also had a puzzled face, he didn't understand what the problem was.
Hearing Tsunade's answer, Sho Sho's face suddenly became pale.
His forehead was soaked with cold sweat in an instant.
"Hoo …"
At this time, a gentle breeze gently brushed past everyone's body.
However, even though he was in the warm breeze, Sho Sho didn't feel warm at all, he only felt a terrifying chill spreading on his body.
"The village can only attribute it to your personal decision, and will even blame all the deaths of your team members on your unauthorized actions …"
"Do you understand … Sho Sho … this plan, you have to bear this stigma for the village …"
Thinking back to what Yuusuke Fuji said to him, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
At that time, Yuusuke Fuji … knew all of this …!!
In other words … the one who told me to sneak in was indeed Yuusuke Fuji who arrived at the battlefield …
Could it be … all of this was planned by Yuusuke Fuji …?
Sho Sho didn't dare to continue thinking about it. At this moment, he suddenly realized that his former companion had become a stranger, and the warm smile on his face had become extremely cold.
He looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were looking at him anxiously, and said with a pale face.
"I'm sorry, I missed out on a very important piece of information …"
Hearing his words, Jiraiya and Tsunade's faces were filled with confusion, and they focused on what information Sho Sho had to say.
"Yuusuke Fuji … the Yuusuke Fuji that we know … maybe … he knows the truth …"
"Because … he was the one who told me about the order from the village …"
In response to his words, Tsunade hurriedly explained.
"Didn't you say that someone imitated the three of us to tell you about the mission?"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Sho Sho's face turned pale, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"But … Yuusuke Fuji, who was the first to arrive at the battlefield, told me about the mission …"
Following that, he told Jiraiya and Tsunade what happened in detail.
Hearing his words, both Jiraiya and Tsunade were stunned, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"How … how is this possible … Yuusuke Fuji … how could he do something like this … there must be some misunderstanding …"
Tsunade's face turned pale, and she muttered with a trembling voice.
Jiraiya's face was also very ugly, and he couldn't accept Sho Sho's words at all.
However, he was still rational, and he didn't deny it directly. Instead, he looked serious and said in a deep voice.
"No matter what, let's hurry back to the village. As long as we see Yuusuke Fuji again, everything will be clear!"
Hearing his words, Sho Sho nodded slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.
"No matter who it is …"
"I will make you pay for your actions …"
