Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

Shino and Kiba have the best qualities, knowing that this is a fight and not a walk. The ones who have improved the most are probably Sakura and Ino. The plots about cosmetics and new clothes in their conversations have finally disappeared, replaced by normal alert exchanges and ninjutsu competitions.

In a word: These kids finally understand their role as ninjas.

Overall, it was very rewarding.

A change like this is better than having people die in the future, and Sasuke's attack is worth it.

After confirming these changes, although Hinata didn't say anything, she was actually quite satisfied in her heart. This time the Chunin Exam was considered valuable.

The day and night of traveling passed quickly. When they arrived at the central tower, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. According to the rules of the exam, the central tower was already a safe area. Arriving here meant that those terrible people could be officially eliminated. The assassinations and battles were temporarily forgotten.

"According to the hints on the wall, we should open the Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth together. Everyone, please prepare."

After entering the tower, everyone also discovered the hints on the wall, and then each of the three team leaders Hinata, Shikamaru, and Shino opened a pair of scrolls in their hands. Just like in the original work, as the scrolls were channeled The magic circle was activated, and three figures appeared in front of Jiu Xiaoqiang.

"Hi~ Congratulations to everyone for passing the second exam~!"

It was three chunin who appeared. Two chunin had never interacted with each other before, but the leader of the chunin was none other than Naruto's current ninja school teacher - Umino Iruka.

"Iruka-sensei? Why are you here?"

Naruto, who had been treated coldly for two days, finally couldn't help but shout out first, and Iruka looked at the group of students in front of him with relief, and his tone was filled with unconcealable pride: "This is me. It’s my job to welcome those of you who are qualified when you arrive here...eh? What’s wrong with Sasuke?"

Having said this, Iruka finally saw Sasuke being carried by Choji, and his expression became nervous. Although he and Naruto's teachers and students have the deepest relationship, these groups are all his students. The friendship between us will never change.

"A guy named Orochimaru put a strange curse mark on my neck. I haven't woken up yet. In short, please contact the medical ninja first."

After answering Iruka's question aloud, Hinata's words made the latter put aside his desire to chat, and then nodded seriously: "I understand, you guys wait here now, I'll go and take care of you right away. Medical ninja come here!”

After Iruka left, Hinata suddenly felt something in her heart, and then spoke to a chuunin who was waiting next to her: "I want to go to the bathroom, please show me the way."

"Yes, Miss Hinata, please come with me."

The female chuunin in charge of the reception nodded, and then took Hinata out of everyone's sight. After walking into a secret door and turning several complicated corridors, Hinata finally came to a dark room. , and inside the room, Danzo sitting on the chair had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"Tell me, who is that man named Orochimaru? Why did he and his men attack us in the Death Forest? Was it your instigation?"

Without showing any signs of weakness, Hinata sat on the chair next to Danzo. Hinata disguised her tone as one full of impatience and irritability, but Danzo who was sitting there was not aroused by her tone at all, but remained as cold as ever. Open your mouth.

"You have misunderstood this. Orochimaru and I have nothing to do with each other. If you insist on saying so, he is the third generation's direct disciple. Sasuke will not die, so you can rest assured."

Such an answer made Hinata raise her eyebrows slightly, and the girl with white eyes tapped her finger on the armrest of her seat impatiently: "So, why did you call me here?"

"I was just going to tell you about this."

Raising his head, Danzo looked at Hinata with a sinister gaze, and his tone was full of an elusive feeling.

"That is, about the selection of the Fifth Hokage."

genius ruler

"The Fifth Hokage? Now that the Sandaime is still in office, is it a little too far to talk about this topic?"

Hinata didn't have the slightest sense of surprise at Danzo's words. This ambitious old guy had wanted to become Hokage for more than a day or two, and now that the Sandaime Hokage was indeed in his final years, he would be with her as an 'ally' It's not too much of a stretch to mention it.

"No, it's not far away at all. Even if I didn't say it, you should know that as a ninja, Sarutobi's time is running out."

There were still some ups and downs in Danzo's tone. Obviously, even as a pure ninja, he would still take into account the companionship of the three generations. Replacing the three generations with 'Sarutobi' in his words was a subconscious manifestation.

"Isn't the Sandaime a ninja from the same period as you? Do you think that the Sandaime is too old, but you are still competent?"

"Indeed, under normal circumstances, I am the same age as the Sandaime. However, thanks to the first generation's immortal human cells, my physical condition is still in good condition. You should also have the benefits of the immortal human cells. It’s just about experiencing it.”

Danzo glanced at Hinata slightly with sinister eyes. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was obviously telling Hinata: Danzo knew that Hinata had done something with the first-generation cells.

Although Sai, who has been lurking inside the crew, had no chance to enter the Hinata mansion, there is no doubt that Hinata took some of the first-generation immortal human cells from the underground base. Even if Danzo did not know the existence of the mercury lamp, this old guy definitely He didn't believe that Hinata would leave the first-generation target cells in vain, so there was nothing wrong with his words.

"So, do you want to become the Fifth Hokage? How to do it? Is it to impeach the Third Generation for mismanagement, or to simply launch a coup to force him to step down?"

Hinata sneered and spoke disdainfully. She really couldn't agree with Danzo's narrow-minded thinking. However, considering the performance of this old guy in the original work, it is not surprising that he would make such a choice.

"..."

However, this time Hinata didn't hear Danzo's answer for a long time. The air seemed to be suddenly silent, carrying an indistinguishable emotion.

This made Hinata turn her head slightly in surprise, while Danzo was sitting there with his head lowered and silent. Although his eyes were as cold as ever, there were also extremely complicated waves in them, as if he was recalling something long ago. And something unforgettable.

After about a minute, Hinata couldn't help but said: "Hey, say something, what are you going to do?"

Hinata's reminder made Danzo seem to finally get rid of his past memories, and then he slowly raised his head, his tone also full of a sense of complexity that was difficult to conceal: "...I will not impeach, nor will I launch a coup... .Anyway, Sarutobi will take the first step soon..."

"..."

This sentence made Hinata raise her eyebrows slightly. Although Danzo's words were still a bit vague, it was not difficult to see that he had foreseen that the Sandaime would most likely die in this incident.

"You're not going to help him?"

After thinking for a while, Hinata asked this question. Although judging things coldly and rationally is indeed a necessary quality of a strong person, but... no matter how strong you are, no matter how strong you are, you are still just a human being...

"This is a mistake he made when he was young. I'm afraid he should have foreseen today's situation when he let Orochimaru go. So...as a Hokage and a teacher...he has to do it himself Take care of your own business.”

Although Danzo's words were cold, the sigh could not be concealed at all. Even though he and the Sandaime have been fighting for a lifetime, this relationship has not faded much. It is just that along with the two people's different thoughts, it has become the pillar of peace in Konoha Village since the second generation.

"Ha, then. What happens after the Sandaime leaves? Do you want to become the Fifth Hokage?"

Hinata's eyes narrowed slightly, she had almost guessed the other party's plan.

"No...my personal guards, the root ninjas have not fully recovered. I want to use the economy of Akihabara to make Konoha's root ninjas recover as soon as possible and even become stronger. Before my power has been restored, I rashly If you ascend to the position of Hokage, you will only become a puppet or even a pawn of those idealists..."

Danzo seemed to have spent a lot of determination before saying these words, and this did not surprise Hinata at all. For Danzo, Hitler's absolute dictatorship is the way he expected to rule. But now even if the Sandaime leaves, the remaining elders and other ruling class family heads have already become accustomed to the Sandaime. That kind of peaceful concept would definitely not agree with Danzo's extreme approach.

Unless Danzo can be like H. Teller, he can first train his Gestapo, that is, the root ninjas. In this way, only after he has enough personal power can he be able to launch his own dictatorship. .

Before that, even if he came to power, he was just a puppet without personal power.

In the original work, when the Sandaime was sacrificed, Danzo's root ninja had not even been released. Although here, due to economic development considerations, the Sandaime unlocked Danzo's root ninja in advance, but the current period of time is not enough for the root ninja to recover. Danzo, who has no personal power to support, is very clear that even if he boarded the The position of Hokage is just a puppet of those idealists, so he withdrew from the competition for the Fifth Hokage.

After all, what he wanted from the beginning was a 'Konoha that belongs to him', not a 'Konoha that belongs to everyone'.

"Since you don't plan to be the Godaime, what's the point of coming to me?"

Squeezing a strand of hair on the side of her neck, Hinata spoke lazily. She wanted to know what Danzo's answer was.

"Although I plan to give up the position of the Fifth Hokage, there is still someone who can run for the position of Hokage."

Raising his head, Danzo looked at Hinata. The leader of the root ninja also had an elusive emotion in his tone: "You."

"Ha~!"
