As for when he was old, Danzo sent Kakashi and Yamato to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was also old, because he had completely fallen into darkness in his heart in order to become Hokage.
He could no longer accept Sarutobi Hiruzen becoming Hokage again, so he did such extreme things.
After all, Danzo at that time had gone completely crazy in order to become Hokage.
Now Danzo still admires Sarutobi Hiruzen very much, because under Sarutobi Hiruzen's governance, Konoha Village is slowly becoming stronger again.
"We can start drawing lots now. I also want to see early how capable your apprentice is. It was you who proposed this duel. It seems that you are very confident in your apprentice's ability." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, taking a puff of his pipe.
"The skills I teach my apprentices are definitely not comparable to those of the Hokage. The reason I proposed the duel is to let them know the gap between each other and to better motivate them to practice." Danzo said quickly, very humble.
"Danzo, I'm busy with government affairs every day and have little time to guide them. I might make a fool of myself today." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a laugh.
Danzo didn't respond, but looked at Jiraiya and the others and said, "You all already know about the competition, so I don't need to say anything more.
Next, I want to solemnly declare that you can use all kinds of ninja tools and ninjutsu during the competition, without any restrictions.
Once the competition begins, you must treat the other party as a real enemy and absolutely cannot have any mercy.
You don't need to worry about harming the other party's life.
With me and the Hokage here, the situation will never get out of control.
There is no need to have any concerns or worries.
The only thing you have to do is to kill the other party as soon as possible.
Do you understand?"
Jiraiya agreed very much with Danzo's sharp words.
Because only in this way can you accumulate real practical experience. If you are restrained, there will be no point in fighting.
"I understand, teacher."
"Understood, Elder Danzo."
Jiraiya and the others replied.
"The scope of the duel is within the entire training ground. As long as you stay within the training ground, you can fight however you want. Next, you will take turns to draw lots here. Those who draw the same lot will become opponents."
Danzo then took out two sets of wooden sticks and held them in both hands.
The wooden sticks in his two hands were the same. Aburame Ryoma and the others drew the one in his right hand, and Jiraiya and the others drew the one in his left hand.
Soon they came forward one by one and drew the wooden sticks. Jiraiya took the wooden stick in his hand, looked down, and found a number printed on it.
It looks like he will be the first to go.
Jiraiya was somewhat satisfied with this number, because in this way, he could make Tsunade and the others' eyes pop out prematurely.
Jiraiya looked at Aburame, Ryoma and the others, wondering who among them would be lucky enough to draw number one and become his opponent.
"Now that you have all drawn lots, the competition will begin with lot number one. Those who have drawn lot number one may begin the competition."
Danzo spoke up.
Jiraiya took a step forward holding the wooden stick, and Aburame Ryoma also stepped out from the other side.
Seeing that his opponent was Aburame Ryoma, Jiraiya secretly exclaimed that he had bad luck.
Among Danzo's three disciples, Aburame Ryoma is the most powerful and the opponent he least wants to meet, not that he is afraid of Ryoma.
It's because the ninjas of the Aburame clan feed the insects with their own Chakra, let the insects parasitize their bodies, and control the insects. All of their ninjutsu are released by the insects. They are extremely difficult to deal with, and it takes a lot of effort to defeat them.
Jiraiya and Ryoma walked towards the center of the training ground.
"I didn't expect Jiraiya's luck to be so bad. He drew Ryoma. It seems that he can't even last a minute. How about we guess how long it will take for Jiraiya to yell and admit defeat?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen is also a person with a bad taste, and he likes to make fun of his apprentices on weekdays.
"Teacher, do we need to guess about this kind of thing? Once Jiraiya and Ryoma fight and see the power of Ryoma's ninjutsu, he will definitely admit defeat directly." Tsunade replied.
"I feel the same as Tsunade," Orochimaru said immediately afterwards.
"Jiraiya, you are no match for me. Just admit defeat. I don't want to waste time on such nonsense."
Ryoma spoke coldly to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya now has a great reputation as the last one in the ranking.
Ryoma doesn't want to fight Jiraiya, the person he wants to fight the most is Orochimaru.
Because in his heart, Orochimaru is the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage.
It was an honor for him to fight against Orochimaru, and it also showed how big the gap was between him and the genius.
As for fighting Jiraiya, he had no interest in doing so.
Jiraiya was surprised to find that there were quite a few people in Konoha Village who loved to show off.
"You will pay dearly for talking to me like that."
It is impolite not to reciprocate, so Jiraiya naturally had to pretend to be nice.
"It's really boring. Since you want to embarrass yourself, you can't blame me." Longma said.
Danzo saw Jiraiya and Ryoma showing off to each other, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he ordered, "The fight begins."
"Whoosh"
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, Ryoma used the Body Flicker Technique and jumped into a forest west of the training ground.
This training ground is extremely large, with not only woods but also streams and mountains, making it suitable for ninjas of all attributes to practice here.
Ryoma escaped into the woods. That was because their clan's secret techniques were all about how to use insects. They were very weak in physical skills. Once the enemy got close to them, many ninjutsu could not be used.
Therefore, when the Aburame clan breaks out into a battle with the enemy, they will immediately hide in the dark and then control the insects to attack the enemy.
They have bugs as their sight, so even if they can't see the enemy when hiding, they can still sense the enemy's position.
Ryoma disappeared into the woods, and Jiraiya could no longer sense him.
It seems that Ryoma has already harbored a chakra-covering bug in his body. Now that he has not cultivated any perception-type ninjutsu, it is almost impossible for him to sense Ryoma's location in the woods.
Jiraiya did not hesitate at all and used the Body Flicker Technique as well, quickly leaping from his spot and escaping towards the woods.
The reason why he chose this was to be closer to Longma.
He had not practiced any perception-type ninjutsu, so if he wanted to find Aburame Ryoma, he could only wait for the other party to launch a ninjutsu attack, capture the chakra flow at that moment, and then determine Ryoma's location.
Because no matter how secretly Ryoma hides, when he performs ninjutsu, Chakra must flow in his body, thus revealing his aura. …
