As an Uchiha I became the Jinchuriki of Senju Tobirama

"What's wrong? You're not convinced?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked disdainfully, which stunned Danzo who was accusing him.

Danzo was full of anger and was ready to stand on the moral high ground and criticize Sarutobi Hiruzen. Who would understand him?

He worked hard all his life to climb to the position of assistant to the Hokage, but at the age of 48, he still looked like a minion at the funeral of Uzumaki Mito...

Kazuki carried the coffin for Uzumaki Mito, which stimulated the emotions of many shinobi in Konoha.

But the one who was most stimulated was none other than Shimura Danzo.

He was almost crazy...

All along, Shimura Danzo thought that he, the assistant to the Hokage, was infinitely close to the position of Hokage.

He has made contributions to Konoha, shed blood for the will of fire and led the Root. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, is considered inferior to him by Shimura Danzo.

If there is no Root carrying the burden, how can Konoha have a peaceful life?

The real work, the work that really counted, was done by him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is just talking empty words and dealing with superficial things, which has no real value...

For Danzo, the reason why Hiruzen had not yet appointed a successor as Hokage, despite Tsunade's evident recovery and the tensions between Jiraiya and Orochimaru, was largely because of him...

Without experiencing a war, it is indeed difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to determine the candidate for the next generation of Hokage.

After all, with such a qualified assistant like him around, Hiruzen had to show something convincing to get him away.

And it was in that war where Danzo saw his opportunity; he was waiting for the next shinobi war, where his performance would elevate him above Hiruzen's disciples, thus opening the way to his promotion.

However, Kazuki's role in Uzumaki Mito's funeral completely destroyed his hopes.

Wasn't the next Hokage already designated?

Even the successor's successor was already clear!

Shimura Danzo was extremely angry. Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions were too much.

Secret experiments using Tobirama-sensei's cells, manipulating Mito-sama, and at an event as important as a funeral, Hiruzen excluded him from the decisions! And worse, he made important decisions like the succession of the Hokage without even consulting him!

"I'm not convinced?" Shimura Danzo's face was extremely gloomy. If Hiruzen wasn't going to back down, then neither was he.

The position of Hokage seemed to be getting further and further away from him, and Shimura Danzo could not stand it.

"How do you expect me to agree?" Shimura Danzo looked fierce, and suddenly waved his hand, pointing to the photo of Senju Tobirama in the Hokage's office, and roared: "Do you know what you have done? Monkey!"

"At Mito-sama's funeral, you allowed an Uchiha to raise the coffin in her honor! Have you gone mad?"

"Look at Tobirama-sensei's photo! Take a good look at it!"

"Tell me, have you forgotten that sensei told us to be on the lookout for the Uchiha clan?!"

After hearing the name Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen was obviously stunned, and his eyes turned to the photos on the wall.

There was a photo of Senju Tobirama wearing a Hokage hat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at it with emotion for a moment, then shook his head. "Danzo, I have never forgotten our sensei's words..."

"I have found the best way to solve the problem of the Uchiha clan, but you just don't understand it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was very sincere.

In his mind, Kazuki was a product of Senju Tobirama's forbidden techniques, as well as possessing the chakra that represented his own sensei's will...

Although Uzumaki Mito is certain that Kazuki's will is his own, and seems to have convinced Tsunade to believe so, Sarutobi Hiruzen disagrees, and has recently come to a new conclusion.

Since becoming Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has seen Senju Tobirama's previous forbidden techniques that can be said to be the wrath of heaven and people... oh no, they are wild and unrestrained ideas, and his view of his sensei has become more complete and profound.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, no one understands Senju Tobirama better than him!

Although Kazuki still looks normal now, Uzumaki Mito also said that if Senju Tobirama could possess another person's body, he would have done so a long time ago. That the key was to nurture Kazuki with love and the principles of the Will of Fire...

It seemed like a speech of peace, but Sarutobi Hiruzen privately thinks that Uzumaki Mito's view of Senju Tobirama is still too naive, and it is very likely that Kazuki's situation is just a temporary illusion!

His sensei would definitely want to possess an Uchiha, not just use chakra to influence him!

Kazuki's rampage is likely due to the fact that Senju Tobirama's chakra is exerting its power...

Sarutobi Hiruzen deeply remembers that Kazuki even looks like Senju Tobirama when throwing out the Flying Thunder God Technique. Is this okay?

Although Uzumaki Mito told Sarutobi Hiruzen very confidently that Kazuki is Kazuki.

However, Hiruzen had already made a defiant decision. He believes that Kazuki will become more and more like Senju Tobirama and may even sooner or later become his sensei one day!

In particular, recently there is a piece of irrefutable evidence that Uzumaki Mito was unable to see...

When preparing for the funeral, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Kazuki if he needed to give the Uchiha clan a special position?

Each clan had a certain position in an event of such magnitude.

After all, Kazuki seems to have a good relationship with some members of the Uchiha clan. As the Hokage, if he gives Kazuki a little care and lets him show favor to the Uchiha clan and win people's hearts, Sarutobi Hiruzen is happy to do it.

But Kazuki surprised him by rejecting the idea and requesting that the Uchiha members of the Police Force be on duty, allowing only minors to attend.

Hiruzen was initially shocked, but as he reflected back at home, he found the situation alarming.

With Kazuki's gentle personality and sincere will of fire, he would never treat his clan like this. Sarutobi Hiruzen has never seen Kazuki have any ill will towards any Konoha shinobi.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself has never thought of letting the entire Konoha Police Force be on duty instead of participating in Mito's funeral...

This overly extreme taste is very familiar to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he suddenly realized it in an instant.

Was Kazuki really Kazuki?

For Hiruzen, the answer was: yes, for now.

Kazuki may be Kazuki today and may also be Kazuki tomorrow.

But next year, the year after, or any day, Sarutobi Hiruzen has already prepared himself mentally, seeing Kazuki with his extremely familiar sharp eyes, and then calling him - Monkey.

And with this idea, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude towards Kazuki is also changing.

Let alone carrying the coffin for Uzumaki Mito, now he rarely uses the telescope technique to observe Kazuki...

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a complicated mood, he really liked Kazuki.

But his sensei did such a thing, and it was for Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only shake his head and say that there was nothing he could do.

Shimura Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen's profile, his anger grew even stronger.

What a hypocritical monkey!

Looking at the teacher's photo, you can still remain calm, do you still have the will of fire in your heart?

"Hiruzen, you have gone too far by letting an Uchiha enter the master-disciple inheritance sequence of the village!"

Shimura Danzo slammed the table, furious.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't come at that time, Kazuki would have been his student. The despicable Hiruzen took the opportunity to imprison him for three months and took Kazuki into his own school.

Shimura Danzo recalled the past about Kazuki, and his emotions became more and more agitated. He said in a stern voice: "Do you really think I don't know what you did?"

"That day at the training camp... I arrived on time, and I know that Kazuki was carrying Tobirama-sensei's chakra."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly changed.

Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, smiled triumphantly, and continued: "On the one hand, you don't let me do human experiments, but on the other hand, you are working hard on your own research?"

"Monkey, you are digging your own grave. You have injected Tobirama-sensei's cells into Uchiha Kazuki's body to create your own tool. This is madness!"

"I see… You do all this just to perpetuate your power, elevating Kazuki's status by using Mito-sama's funeral, intending for all the shinobi in the village to see him as a candidate for Hokage…"

"I ask you, what did you do to Uchiha Kazuki? How many curse seals did you cast? Are you sure you can control him?"

Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's increasingly dark face and shook his head.

"Using Tobirama-sensei's cells to strengthen an Uchiha and then trying to control him with cursed seals to act as your puppet Hokage… You are truly amazing…"

"Homura and Koharu don't dare to challenge you, your disciples indulge you, but in Konoha there is still me, the Hokage's Advisor."

"No one can be the Hokage for a lifetime, Hiruzen."

"It's not too late to turn back now!"

At that moment, Shimura Danzo seemed illuminated by a sudden nobility that dispelled his usual gloomy air; he looked imposing.

However, deep inside, he couldn't help but admire Sarutobi Hiruzen's cunning.

Don't say it, it's pretty awesome...

This is Hiruzen, able to do such dark things with the utmost ease, something that even he, the Darkness of the Shinobi, found shocking.
