Chapter 20: Just Let the Enemy Leader Give the Mission Objective
"Konoha already had the Fourth Hokage, so there was no chance for Danzo to become Hokage," an Anbu vice-commander retorted.
Nagasawa nodded and said, "Normally, yes."
"We all know that Namikaze Minato is currently the youngest Kage in the history of Shinobi, but because of that, many people in Konoha are against him becoming a Hokage."
"If Minato makes a critical mistake right after taking the Hokage mantle, he may be dethroned."
"Last but not least, do you think Danzo would be so kind as to help us? He is a Konoha Shinobi! He was born and raised in Konoha!" Nagasawa said as icing on the cake and observed everyone's reaction.
The Kage hesitated, but he did think that Morishita had a point. Although it seemed like Danzo was helping them this time, was that really the case?
A Konoha Shinobi worrying about Kusagakure? What a joke!
"Namikaze Minato will definitely implement the same policy that leaned toward peace like the Third Hokage, and after the Third Hokage is dead, Konoha will have an incompetent Hokage." Nagasawa kept throwing plausible arguments.
The Kage looked at Nagasawa and finally felt that Danzo wasn't trustable and that he should believe Morishita instead.
After all, Morishita was a Kusagakure Shinobi, and he was passionate about Kusagakure's growth. There was no reason that he'd advise anything that'd put Kusagakure at a disadvantage, while there was no guarantee Danzo was truly trying to help them.
The Kage nodded and said, "Then Morishita, do you have any ideas?"
