Chapter 146: Danzo's Wishful ThinkingFurthermore, it is said that at the request of the Kazekage, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Utatane Koharu, who are all high-ranking officials of Konoha Village and usually rarely appear in public, have also arrived at the scene to watch the competition.It can be said that the true top brass of Konoha Village have all gathered here. The audience is extremely excited about this because, although they may not have seen these people before, the legends surrounding them are widely known.Everyone knows that while these individuals may look harmless, in reality, they were each one of the six guards of the Second Hokage, so their strength is certainly not to be underestimated.At this moment, the people sitting in the viewing stand, with the exception of Orochimaru, are all somewhat puzzled. Hiruzen does not understand why the other party is doing this.Do they want to wipe everyone out? That is absolutely impossible. At this moment, all of Konoha's top combat power from the older generation is here. Relying solely on Sunagakure, which ranks low among the Five Great Nations, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a thing.He quickly thought of a reason: "Is the reason he is doing this to put my mind at ease? Or perhaps this is just a gesture of goodwill!""But he is overestimating himself a bit too much, isn't he! To deal with people like you, do I even need these helpers? I can easily handle it all by myself.""Forget it, it is at least a kind gesture from him, so I should just accept it. I cannot refuse to give him face."Thinking of this, Hiruzen, who had been pulling a long face, laughed, and his gaze towards the "Kazekage" became increasingly kind.This actually left Orochimaru feeling a bit confused; he did not know what this old guy was smiling at him for!As for Danzo, ever since he received the news that the Kazekage had invited him to watch the match, he has been in a very good mood.Although he does not yet know that this Kazekageis Orochimaru in disguise, in his speculation, it is likely that Orochimaru used some method to persuade the Kazekage to help him deal with Hiruzen together, thereby helping him ascend to the position of Hokage.Danzo kept thinking in his heart: "Orochimaru is indeed unfathomable to be able to persuade the Kazekage. With his participation, it can be said that success is guaranteed.""It is just that I do not know what conditions he promised the other party. If it is reasonable, I will give him some, after all, he is helping me fulfill the dream of half my lifetime.""But if it is too excessive, I will just renege on the debt when the time comes. I cannot overdraw the Village too much; after all, I will have just become Hokage, and it would be bad if I lost the hearts of the people because of this.""But for now, would it be better to let the other party know my identity first?"Thinking of this, Danzo immediately stood up. At this moment, Hiruzen was just about to introduce these people to the Kazekage, but unexpectedly, Danzo suddenly stood up, bypassed him, shook hands with the Kazekage, and then said: "Hello, Lord Kazekage, I am Danzo Shimura of Konoha Village.""It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time. However, in the future, I believe we will have many opportunities to meet." As he spoke, he also secretly winked at Orochimaru.Hiruzen did not notice this, but this action of his made Hiruzen somewhat displeased. However, he had experienced this kind of behavior from Danzomore than once or twice, so Hiruzen quickly adjusted himself and suppressed the feeling of dissatisfaction.
