-------------------------

At this time, the atmosphere in the Hokage's Office kept getting colder.

For a while, Hiruzen and Homura were so scared that they did not dare to breathe.

"Let...take it easy, Koharu, Danzo didn't mean it." Hiruzen reacted and hurriedly stopped Koharu.

Danzo struggled hard and finally broke free of Koharu's hand.

He stared at Koharu coldly.

After getting ignored by Koharu, Danzo turned his attention to Homura again. Homura turned his head slightly, avoiding Danzo's gaze.

He turned his gaze to his clie- friend Hiruzen again. Hiruzen smiled awkwardly. However, the more he looked at them, the more he felt he was being ridiculed.

Finally, his gaze gradually set on the Hokage's hat on the table.

Then he turned around with a grim look and pushed open the office door and walked out.

He walked in the long corridor with a gloomy expression.

He told himself that no matter what the ninja encounters, he must not falter.

"You are leaves bathing in the sun, I am the root attached to the dark." He remembered what he said to Hiruzen when he founded Root.

At that time, he said this sentence sincerely.

"Danzo, I'm sorry. You are a good person and you should find someone better." This was what Koharu said when she refused him before he went to the battlefield .

At that time, the rejection broke his heart.

Danzo thought that with the passing of time, he moved on. Turns out, he didn't.

He just suppressed his feelings for more than ten years

"Feeling never end, they are just suppressed, they come back, and when they come back, they come back much worse."

'I really desire...the Hokage's position...not the root in darkness…'

'I really desire...love...but don't want to hurt again…'

"Why! Why!"

"Why can I not compete with Hiruzen for the position of Hokage? Why did women like only Kagami and not me? What is so wrong with me? Why did I always fail? This is maddening."

"Hiruzen, didn't he make a firm resolution just a few seconds ahead of me to be the bait back then? Why is he the Hokage?"

"Kagami is a dead person and that's all. When he was alive, he couldn't beat me in a duel! That stupid woman. Everyone looks down on me!"

"Power! I want more power! Why don't I have the same power as the First Hokage or Uchiha Madara?"

"If I have the power of their level, I will become the strongest ninja in the World! Then, the Hokage position and Koharu are all mine..."

Danzo slowly walked to his root base. The sun shined on him but he couldn't feel the warmth.

Danzo walked slowly into the entrance, the sunlight slowly and he walked from light to darkness.

At the same time, in the Hokage's office

Koharu sat upright and adjusted her robe, closing her eyes as if asleep.

Hiruzen always had a headache due to these kinds of things. What can he do about emotional problems between teammates?

'If I somehow get a Ninjutsu which can control the thoughts of others, nothing like it!

As Danzo is his close friend, Hiruzen helps him.

Hiruzen glanced at Koharu sitting in front.

She, as the best female ninja of their generation, is indeed impeccable.

Whether it is rational thinking or a rigorous style, these labels give her a large number of admirers.

Moreover, she is the only Medical-nin in their team.

She has rescued them many times.

Everyone treats her very well.

'Danzo was even saved from the brink of death by her many times. It is not surprising that he likes Koharu.'

'The pair of scars on his face were left from an operation by Koharu.'

'Danzo has always regarded the scar as a medal of love.'

'It's just a pity. Koharu was more fond of Kagami.'

'Kagami was the genius from the Uchiha Clan and the disciple of Second Hokage. He was humble and loved Konoha very much.'

'So, back then, there had been calls for Kagami to inherit the position of the Hokage.'

'Danzo also knows that he couldn't match Kagami.'Hiruzen thought that after so many years, these feelings should have drifted away.

Who knew it broke out suddenly today.

Hiruzen felt cold all over. He knew that if he didn't give Koharu a reasonable explanation, his fate would be no better than Danzo.

So he quickly said, "Fuzami's reasons really make me unable to refuse."

"So, you agreed with him?" Koharu's eyes narrowed.

"How can I! I rejected him on the spot." Hiruzen said for a moment.

Exaggerating was not illegal anyway.

"But Fuzami then again proposed to let Orochimaru act as Tatsumi's Jonin teacher." Hiruzen said.

"Orochimaru?" Homura said in surprise.

"Yes. The reason he gave is that Tsunade is only proficient in Taijutsu and Medical-Ninjutsu. Tatsumi is talented in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu. He said that Orochimaru is more suitable for his growth." Hiruzen replied .

Koharu's eyes became colder.

'What is the old fox playing? Obviously, the proposal that Tatsumi's jonin teacher should be from the Uchiha clan was just a cover. The purpose was the second requirement. However, it indeed is really good for Tatsumi.'

Koharu proposed at first to let Tsunade lead the team, only considering the advantage of Tsunade's Medical-Ninjutsu but not the future growth of Tatsumi.

Orochimaru is undoubtedly the most suitable for Tatsumi's growth.

For a while, Koharu was a little confused.

Hiruzen said, "I agree to this request. After all, he is still the Leader of Uchiha Clan. I can refuse the first time, but I can't refuse twice in a row."

Then, Hiruzen stood up and waved his hand, "This matter will end here."
