Coming out of the national conference room, the atmosphere between the three people walking on the road to the headquarters was somewhat solemn.

Ape Fei knew what the two advisors he had worked with for many years were thinking.

But if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to use Hokage's authority to force Danzo like he did just now.

After all, Tuan Zang is also his old friend for many years, and he established the [Root] Department, willing to hide in the darkness and do some work for the village that cannot be put into the open.

In other words...... Danzou took on all the dirty work in the village, and even though he knew that doing these things would definitely make him farther and farther away from the position of Hokage he longed for, he still did it without hesitation.

"It's all for the village."

This is not a slogan, not even a bloody word, after countless sacrifices and struggles, accustomed to seeing so much dirt and cruelty, Ape Fei sometimes can't help but ask himself, to this day, how much blood is left that supported his struggle to this day.

The answer was for Ape Fei to take a puff of cigarette and press his hat even further down - the older a person gets, the less he can look directly into the sun.

It's not blood, the struggle between ninjas is enough to cool down even the hottest things, [all for the sake of the village], after a long period of precipitation, has long become the belief of their generation.

Fighting for this sentence so far, youth, years, hope, love, friendship, dreams, all the good things are spent on this matter; Family, friends, teachers...... Too many people have sacrificed themselves in this matter.

It never wavers, and nothing can shake at all, carrying so much, it is not at all something that can be leveraged.

It has condensed everything about itself, become one with life, and become a breath-like instinct.

This kind of thing should be called [ninja], right?

Where did you go...... Ape Fei smiled to himself, knocked his pipe down, took a puff, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly felt the erosion of his lungs from the burning of tobacco leaves.

However, this time the group has gone too far.

Thinking of the latest plan of the root that came up from the dark report yesterday, Ape Fei is still a little speechless now, and in the silence, there is also a trace of anger rising.

Brainwash people...... The control of the human pillar force is a problem that has plagued the ninja world for a hundred years, and among them, it is not only the control of the tailed beast, but also the cultivation and use of the human pillar force itself, which is also a problem.

Because of the existence of the tailed beast in the body, the human pillar force affected by the tailed beast Chakra for a long time has more or less personality defects, if the human pillar force is regarded as the ultimate weapon of the village, then this kind of human pillar force is undoubtedly unqualified.

So if you can brainwash the human pillar power into an excellent container with absolute loyalty and willpower enough to suppress the tailed beast, then in the use of the tailed beast, Konoha is undoubtedly one step ahead, which means an overwhelming victory for high-end combat power in future wars.

If that's all there is, Ape Fei might even agree, thinking of the brainwashing experiment carried out with his acquiescence, the powerful combat power and fear of death that broke out in the battle test of a few brainwashed war criminals and enemy captives, Ape Fei can't say what kind of mood he is in.

This level of darkness is no longer the source of Ape Fei's anger.

What makes Ape Fei want to slap Tuan Zang on the head and scold "You tease" is that all this is only theoretically feasible - originally, how can there be any superfluous human pillar power in the ninja world to experiment with Tuan Zang?

Everything is just the result of theoretical deduction, not to mention whether the special physique of the new human pillar force of the vortex clan is resistant to brainwashing, even if it is a simple human pillar force, the life form that coexists with the tailed beast is a great variable. The space in which the tailed beast exists is purely conscious, and if the brainwashing causes the tailed beast to easily erode and control the human pillar force, then even if all the means have been used to restrain it before, it can be replaced with a new container again. Then the person who was unsuccessful in brainwashing can be said to have made a meaningless sacrifice.

Sacrificing himself, Sarufei did not hesitate to treat the enemy cruelly, Sarufei was obligated to do so - but Sarufei would never allow it to sacrifice the younger generations of the village in this way just because of a possibility.

Because everything is to protect one's family, and everyone in the village is their own family.

Because he is the shadow of the fire that guards Konoha.

But who will determine the concept of the village? Those war criminals who were once part of the village...... Those outcasts who carry out tasks that they know will die...... And the girl of the Vortex Clan who is about to become a human pillar...... Aren't they part of the village? But it's not that I can't protect them, but I have to make them sacrifice.

From this point of view, he may not be able to be brighter than the [root] of Danzang.

Who would dare to say that they must be right?

That's why Sarufei acquiesced in Danzo's move to establish [Gen], turning a blind eye to some of his crazy actions and even secretly opening the door.

Only by preserving the other side of the village can the power that can save the village from danger when he has to admit his mistake.

And all this thinking can't be shared with others at all, glancing at Xiaochun and Menyan, who were each thoughtful behind them, Sarufei let out a breath and watched the gray smoke gradually dissipate into the clear blue sky.

If the village is a konoha bathed in the sun, and the danzo is the root that prevents the tree from being completely destroyed and has to hide in the darkness, then he is the shadow of the fire that carries all this and illuminates it.

This is the will of fire that has never been broken by the Hokage throughout the ages.

"Here we are."

Koharu sighed and looked at the small courtyard in front of him.

Koharu has been sighing more and more lately, and it looks like she's really old.

Ape Fei secretly sneered.

Why don't you think about it, but you are determined to implement it less and less. There is also a reason for the deterioration of relations with the Danzang...... Everything in the village is inextricably linked, and I really don't have the mood and energy to deal with this old friend, who has become more and more gloomy in recent years.

It seems that it is time to consider handing over the Hokage's seat...... At the very least, it is necessary to take advantage of this time when the situation inside and outside the village has just ended and the situation inside and outside the village has stabilized. When the time comes, I will also join the roots, not only to enjoy my old age in peace, but also to ease the relationship with Tuanzang, and to prevent the roots from acting too out of line, killing three birds with one stone, wouldn't it be wonderful?

Knocking lightly on the door, hearing the familiar kind voice inside saying "Please come in", Ape Fei's mood has calmed down.

Of the three disciples, who should they choose?

With this question, which has nothing to do with this trip, the three generations pushed the door and entered.

"Is it a day? It's been a long time since you've come to see me, an old woman, and I thought you had forgotten about me. ”

Raising his head, it was indeed a long time since he had seen it, with a kind and cheerful face.
