Chapter 95: Danzō: Bullying an Honest Person?
As soon as the Uchiha Clan Head left, Danzō walked in.
Looking at him, it was obvious he had just come from the medical ninjas.
One arm was currently bandaged and in a sling.
"Danzō, are you alright?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was obviously more concerned about this old partner.
Seeing Danzō's condition, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately walked over with concern.
"Hmph!"
Danzō snorted. Regardless of what he thought inside...
On the surface, Danzō still maintained an indifferent appearance.
"It's just an arm; it will recover soon."
"Is that so!"
Hearing that the injury wasn't severe, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved.
He was just about to say something...
When he heard Danzō continue in his uniquely arrogant tone:
"Even with this arm having issues, this old man can still thrash that bunch of Ninja Swordsmen with one hand. Today was just a mistake; I didn't get information on the Ninja Swordsmen in advance!"
Although I, Danzō, had a negative record today...
That was just a mistake. Next time, this old man will definitely win.
"Uh!"
Looking at Danzō, whose face was full of mysterious confidence...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, his expression indescribable.
If not for seeing that Danzō's arm was injured...
Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted to retort.
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw clearly that with the seven Ninja Swordsmen joining forces...
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself wouldn't dare claim a hundred percent chance of winning.
Danzō? Forget it!
Any other time would be fine, but on such a serious battlefield, pretending with this old man?
It feels terrible.
"What, you don't believe me?"
Raising an eyebrow, Danzō seemed to see through Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts.
He frowned and looked at him.
"No, no!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly shook his head.
He was a little worried that if he said he didn't believe him, Danzō might get stubborn...
And run directly to find that bunch of Ninja Swordsmen for another fight.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say this, Danzō grunted lightly in satisfaction.
He found a random spot and sat down.
"By the way, where are Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura? Weren't they with you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and realized he didn't see Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered...
Before the battle started, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura had asked Danzō to look after them, right?
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzō with questioning eyes.
"I don't know!"
In such a chaotic battlefield, how would Danzō have time to care about Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's situation?
"Maybe they died on the battlefield."
Danzō said with a completely uncaring tone.
With the strength of those two idiots, Danzō wouldn't be surprised at all if they died on the battlefield.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Danzō a speechless look.
Everyone has been companions for so many years; is it really okay to say that?
At this moment, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura walked in from outside.
"We're back!"
"Back..."
It's good that they are back! Hearing their voices, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and was just about to say that...
But after seeing Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's current appearance...
His old face instantly froze.
Even Danzō, sitting to the side, stood up from his seat with an indifferent face, staring at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
"Wha... What's wrong?"
Being stared at by both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzō like that...
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura felt somewhat uncomfortable.
There doesn't seem to be any problem now, right?
At this time, Danzō, not far away, said indifferently:
"Shouldn't you explain why, after a whole battle, you look so... tidy?"
That's right, tidy.
On Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's clothes, there wasn't even a speck of dust.
How did they look like they had just experienced a war?
"Uh!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura both noticed this situation.
Looking at each other, Utatane Koharu looked pointedly at Mitokado Homura.
Mitokado Homura expressed grievance.
At that time, they were just focused on finding a safe place to stay; who had time to think about so many other things?
Utatane Koharu didn't speak.
She just gave Mitokado Homura a look.
Obviously signaling Mitokado Homura to quickly find an excuse to explain.
"Ah..."
But after half a day, Mitokado Homura couldn't think of what to explain.
This is killing me!
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen became expressionless.
Although he knew that these two old partners' strength had declined significantly and their mentality was average...
He didn't expect that at a time when everyone was swearing to protect Konoha to the death...
These two, as Elders of Konoha Village, could actually run away.
"Hiruzen! Danzō! Listen to my explanation, actually we..."
"Enough!"
Waving his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted directly.
He was too lazy to listen to Mitokado Homura's nonsense meant to fool people.
"This time, forget it!"
"Sure enough, Hiruzen is still good!"
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say this, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura smiled with relief.
"But if there is a next time!..."
"Rest assured! We understand!"
Without needing Sarutobi Hiruzen to say it, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura added with faces full of certainty:
"Next time, we will definitely swear to protect Konoha to the death. This time was mainly due to some accidents!"
"..."
Looking at the affirmative faces of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura...
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a bit silent.
They say one has thick skin, but these two guys in front of him must have the thickest skin.
Such a guarantee, I really can't believe even a little bit.
"Ahem! There's nothing else now, right!"
"Then we'll go back to rest first!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura...
Were just about to find an excuse to leave first.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, considering their face, didn't know what to say.
But Danzō on the side wouldn't think like that.
This old man's arm is broken, yet your clothes are even clean.
Bullying an honest person?
"If you dare run again next time, this old man will be the first to finish you off!"
Looking at the backs of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura leaving...
Danzō said coldly.
