As long as he doesn't appear, people will only know that Root is under Qifeng's responsibility, not Danzo's.
This is undoubtedly forcing Danzo out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't really want to do anything to Danzo.
It's just that he suddenly disappeared with a group of Root ninjas, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi's current caution, it's impossible not to overthink it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had even thought that as long as Danzo appeared and handed Root over to Qifeng, and didn't hinder Minato Namikaze, he could retire peacefully with Danzo.
He wouldn't even mind Danzo retaining some power and influence.
But unfortunately, he wanted to step down, but Danzo still wanted to step up.
This day.
Qifeng was sitting in Hiruzen Sarutobi's office, drinking tea and chatting with him, discussing Kakashi and Shisui's reputations and merits in the east of the Land of Fire when facing the harassment of Kirigakure ninjas.
With his Sharingan and his signature Raikiri, Kakashi was more than a match for the average Kirigakure jonin.
Moreover, Kirigakure is currently in turmoil, and sending one or two jonin is the limit.
No one can stop the combination of Kakashi and Shisui.
That's right, Qifeng teamed up Kakashi and Shisui.
Both are speed-type ninjas, and both have Sharingan, so they can learn from each other.
The most important thing is that Shisui and Obito originally had a very good relationship, and hopefully Kakashi can find some comfort from Shisui.
And Kakashi finally got his title "Copy Ninja"!
Along with Shisui's "Shunshin Shisui," they have become the nightmares of Kirigakure ninjas.
Kakashi believed that it was Kirigakure ninjas who kidnapped them back then, and it was also Kirigakure ninjas who killed Nohara Rin, so he was ruthless when he attacked, basically leaving no one alive.
"Alas, Kakashi's talent was originally good. As Minato's disciple, coupled with his talent and hard work, he might have had a chance to become Hokage after Minato."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed with some regret.
Qifeng glared at him unhappily, "Third Hokage, don't forget what made Kakashi become withdrawn in the first place."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression froze.
Wasn't Kakashi's initial unsociability due to Sakumo Hatake's death?
If Kakashi weren't so withdrawn, he might have had more friends. Obito and Nohara Rin's deaths might have caused him some trauma, but it definitely wouldn't be as big as it is now, with the wound almost impossible to heal.
Speaking of which, if Sakumo Hatake hadn't died, he would definitely have become the Fourth Hokage, and Kakashi, as his son who inherited his excellent talent, might have had a chance to become the next Hokage.
"It's all my fault. I'm also tired. I hope Minato can undo some of the things I didn't do well back then."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
It's not the era of the later three Hokage yet, and Hiruzen Sarutobi can still recognize his shortcomings.
"Minato will, provided that Danzo doesn't come out and cause trouble,"
Qifeng said lightly.
Speaking of Danzo, the two fell into silence.
No matter how many wrong things Danzo has done, Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot erase his past merits, and Danzo is his long-time friend, or rather, his close friend.
No one knows him better than Danzo.
"The work of Root, it seems you've taken over well,"
Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject.
"That also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qifeng suddenly put away his complacent expression, his expression became very strange, as if there was a hint of happiness, and also a hint of regret.
Seeing his appearance, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Qifeng twitched the corner of his mouth, stood up, "It's nothing, I have some interesting things to deal with. Let's continue chatting another day, I'll go first."
Saying that, he waved to Hiruzen Sarutobi, not even going through the front door, and jumped out of the window next to him.
Looking at the quickly disappearing back, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little dazed, not knowing what was going on.
Could it be... Danzo was found?
...
...
Konoha Morgue.
"Qifeng" came directly here after leaving the Hokage's office.
And his main body was also here waiting for him.
"I'm here, is he dead?"
The puppet clone was a little excited.
Even Qifeng's main body was a little excited. They had been waiting for this day for too long.
Qifeng glanced at him, pursed his lips, "Dead."
"Then don't wait, let's go!"
"No."
Qifeng shook his head.
"Huh?"
The puppet clone was stunned.
"This time, you don't need to go. Your identity is too obvious. I'll go,"
Qifeng said.
"You? The main body? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
The puppet clone was obviously a little surprised.
Although they were originally the same person, and their thoughts and ideas were the same, different information acquisition would inevitably bring about divergence to a certain extent. After all, even if it's the same person, the results obtained when thinking about the same thing may be different before and after.
Qifeng reached out and gently patted his shoulder, instantly completing the memory exchange.
At this time, the puppet clone understood what he meant, "I see. So that thing has succeeded. In that case, this puppet is no longer needed. The recognition of ninjutsu is too high."
"Yeah, I called you here just to inform you. Be prepared. Konoha can't be without you for the time being, and Root even more so. If you see Danzo, don't hesitate, just kill him. Don't worry about Hiruzen Sarutobi,"
Qifeng said.
"I understand,"
The puppet clone nodded.
"That's it then. I've prepared everything. I'm leaving,"
After saying that, Qifeng left a shadow clone and directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
