Hmph!
Then let's try!
Isn't it just a struggle against Sarutobi Hiruzen!
I've struggled against Sarutobi Hiruzen all my life, and this time, I won't lose. Uchiha Madara, the First Hokage in this Genjutsu world, has faith in me!
Very unfortunately...
Young Danzo didn't have time to enjoy this convenience.
Before long, Senju Hashirama believed that Uchiha Madara's rule was too cruel and dark, and chose to defect from Konoha. The Senju Clan did not want to live a displaced life anymore, yet they did not follow Senju Hashirama's departure.
In the end, Senju Hashirama and the First Hokage Uchiha Madara had a great battle in the Valley of the End, and Uchiha Madara used the power of the Nine-tails and Kinjutsu Izanagi to defeat Senju Hashirama.
Senju Hashirama died on the spot.
The First Hokage Uchiha Madara returned to the village and soon died of illness.
"History..."
Young Danzo's grand strategy disappeared without a trace. He deeply regretted not finding a way to alter history: "Even in this Genjutsu world, conflicts will arise between two people!"
If only Senju Hashirama hadn't defected. If only Uchiha Madara were still alive, the founder who had faith in me could become my greatest supporter in the future!
What a pity.
It's already too late.
The future life soon had a touch of tragedy.
Young Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed honest and straightforward, but he was actually an opponent who liked to play tricks. He even roped in Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu to jointly deal with Danzo...
What a brat...
Younger Danzo, in the real world, held the position of Hokage's assistant, manipulating countless schemes, yet this kid was able to frame him, easily solving these troubles.
Time passed quickly.
The Second Hokage was soon elected.
A man named Uchiha Izuna became the Second Hokage and ordered the Senju Clan to become the Konoha Police Force, taking on the infamy.
What an absurd world!
Shimura Danzo always felt that something had gone wrong with this world, his mind becoming a tangled mess, habitually thinking of the Konoha Police Force as the Uchiha Clan...
Of course.
There were also good things happening.
Shimura Danzo became Uchiha Izuna's personal guard, just like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu, becoming students of Uchiha Izuna.
Even...
Shimura Danzo found an opportunity and killed his friend Uchiha Kagami, falsely claiming that Uchiha Kagami entrusted his eye and future to him, thereby taking the chance to transplant the Mangekyo Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui from the real world, refreshing the favorability of the Uchiha Clan.
No choice.
This world is controlled by the Uchiha Clan.
The unfortunate event came quickly.
Following the deaths of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, the First Ninja World War officially broke out, with Uchiha Izuna leading the personal guards to negotiate with The Hidden Cloud Village.
This time, Shimura Danzo keenly grasped the history.
In the history of the real world, Konoha and The Hidden Cloud Village indeed negotiated during the First Ninja World War, which eventually led to the Second Hokage and the Second Raikage being surrounded and killed by the rebellious Kin-Gin (Gold and Silver) brothers, though it also gave birth to the new Third Generation in the Ninja World...
Shimura Danzo recalled the events that happened in history, his breathing suddenly became heavy because he knew when exactly Konoha's Third Hokage was appointed, knowing exactly what he had missed in the past, and this time he would not miss it again!
Shimura Danzo did not warn Uchiha Izuna.
Just as Shimura Danzo anticipated, this negotiation was a trap. The Kin-Gin brothers from The Hidden Cloud Village ambushed them, forcing Uchiha Izuna to lead the personal guards to escape, but during the retreat, they were pursued, and someone needed to stay behind!
This discussion about who would stay behind...
Was the selection of Konoha's Third Hokage!
Shimura Danzo didn't wait for Uchiha Izuna to remind, and proactively proposed to stay behind, yet didn't hear any encouragement or announcement of him becoming the Third Hokage from Uchiha Izuna!
Even more misfortunate news occurred.
Uchiha Izuna was not Senju Tobirama.
Uchiha Izuna surprisingly recognized Shimura Danzo's attitude: "Alright, Danzo has always been a genius of the village, truly the most suitable candidate to stay behind. A ninja requires self-sacrifice, and this is something you've always wanted to practice, Danzo..."
"..."
Shimura Danzo stayed silent without making a sound.
Is the Uchiha Clan crazy?
At this time, shouldn't you be making me the Third Hokage? Why really have me stay behind!
Shimura Danzo could only reluctantly choose to stay behind.
Because Shimura Danzo had transplanted the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan, he easily controlled Kinko, escaping from the pursuers and getting out of the predicament.
When Shimura Danzo finally arduously escaped from danger and returned to Konoha, the village had already elected the Third Hokage, and he had missed the opportunity again...
"..."
Shimura Danzo's teeth clenched in hatred.
Especially seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, who became the Third Hokage, still smirked insidiously, seemingly favoring Shimura Danzo with the position of Hokage Assistant and casually giving him authority to form the Root to deal with the Senju Clan, pushing any difficult matters onto Danzo.
That monkey bastard!
Why am I always the one to take the blame!
Of course.
Shimura Danzo wasn't entirely unrewarded.
Having lived many years, Shimura Danzo knew that the history of the real world would influence the trajectory of the Genjutsu world, and he began slowly gathering many Konoha talents into the Root...
