Chapter 381 Danzo's Considerations
"Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen is very old.
After retiring from the position of Hokage, Hiruzen, who was supposed to be enjoying his retirement, should have been taking good care of his health.
But since the Sarutobi clan did not have any special physique, Hiruzen fought for so long that his body aged quickly.
Danzo looked at Hiruzen, who was obviously much older than him, and felt a strange pang of sadness in his heart, but he did not say anything.
"You're not dead yet, Hiruzen. Why did you come to my Root? Heh, you're not the Hokage now."
Seeing that Danzo was still being fussy, Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.
"Huruzen, you brought that boy named Yota to the Root, didn't you?"
"He volunteered!"
Danzo raised his voice as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Huruzen! I didn't break any rules! That boy came to the Root willingly, I can't just not take him in!"
With a slam on the table, Danzo rushed out of his chair and stood in front of Hiruzen.
Hiruzen had begun to shrink. He was not tall to begin with, and now standing in front of Danzo he was obviously a head shorter.
Danzo looked down at Hiruzen and asked word by word, "Orochimaru asked you to come, didn't he?"
"Don't get so excited, old friend."
Hiruzen raised his arm and pressed Danzo's shoulder.
But Danzo didn't move at all, not even his expression changed.
"Danzo, you and I have known each other for many years. Have I ever harmed you?"
Hearing this, Danzo narrowed his eyes, sighed, and turned back to his seat.
"Take a seat first, Hiruzen. After all, you are the Sandaime, so you shouldn't come to my Root without a seat."
Hiruzen chuckled when he saw Danzo's attitude soften, then slowly walked to the opposite side of the desk and sat down.
"Danzo, you and I both understand that the Root is indispensable to Konoha. Orochimaru also understands this."
"He knows nothing!"
Danzo raised his head towards the Hokage Building with disdain.
"Stop being so sullen, Danzo, and get down to business."
Hiruzen sighed and tapped the table lightly.
"Yota involves Hiruko. Orochimaru didn't come to see you in person because he allowed the Root to use Yota, but you need to consider how to use it."
"Oh?"
Danzo squinted at Hiruzen.
"Orochimaru is so easy to talk to now? Our Yondaime-sama, who has the final say, agrees with me to use Yota?"
Hiruzen smiled faintly, not caring at all about Danzo's disdain.
Anyway, it's the fourth generation that is despised, not the third generation.
"Why not, Danzo? Unlike Tai and other ninjas, it's difficult to adjust his mindset to the path of a ninja simply by relying on the education in Konoha School. But with such talent, it would be a shame not to become a ninja."
"It's just that because it involves that guy Hiruko, I can't let up on Yota's education, but I can't be too radical, as that could easily backfire."
"There are not many people in Konoha who can teach Yota, and one of them must be you, Danzo. Orochimaru, like me, has always believed in your abilities."
"Ah......"
Danzo is too familiar with his old friend, and every second sentence he says will show his attitude, and every third sentence will contain lies.
"That last sentence wasn't something Orochimaru asked you to bring, Hiruzen. You added it yourself. Am I right?"
"There is no difference, Danzo. Orochimaru's restriction of your root is actually an acknowledgement of your overpowered abilities. He just took that position and had to take such measures. Don't you understand?"
"I understand? Why should I understand?"
bang——
Danzo slammed the table and stood up again.
"Why doesn't Orochimaru understand me? When that brat was working under me, was he like this? He's grown wings and taken off, but he turned around and kicked me. Ugh, it wasn't just one kick. The bastard kicked me again and again, wanting to kill me!"
Hiruzen just watched Danzo vent quietly, grinning at the sight.
He doesn't have the temper he had in the past, and he doesn't need to have it. There's no need to be angry.
But when Danzo saw Hiruzen's appearance, he became furious.
You have retired with honor, but Orochimaru is still your disciple. You are so proud, aren't you?
"Sarutobi Hiruzen! The Root will take you in now, come and work for me!"
Hiruzen waved his hand.
"The old man is already like this, Danzo, how can you be so cruel~"
"Humph!"
Danzo turned his back.
He couldn't bear it or not, and there was no way he could let Hiruzen enter the Root.
Otherwise, who has the final say on this Root, him, Hiruzen, or Orochimaru?
No matter how much Orochimaru cuts down the Root, as long as the Root is still there, Danzo must be the absolute boss!
"Alright, Danzo, I've brought you my words. Think carefully about this. I think you and Orochimaru will work better together than with me."
"You're just talking nonsense... Are you leaving now?"
"Otherwise, it seems that the Root doesn't welcome me."
"Heh...you still know."
Danzo sneered, took out a tea set from under the desk and boiled water.
"Take a sip and warm yourself up. It's cold down there. Look at you, shivering all over. I hope you don't freeze to death."
"Hehehe, I may look old, but I won't die so easily. But you, Danzo, are you going to tire yourself to death by thinking too much?"
"I'm happy!"
......
Danzo only showed this look in front of Hiruzen.
After Hiruzen left that day, Danzo once again returned to his gloomy appearance as Shinobi Yami.
"Forming an elite ninja team? Haha, Orochimaru, with just a few newly graduated Genin, how elite can they be?"
The regiment commander always despises the enemy verbally but takes them seriously strategically.
Although he did not think much of these teams, Danzo could still see Orochimaru's intentions for the future development of Konoha from Orochimaru's assignments.
The third team, the Taijutsu team, is led by Might Guy and consists of three Genin who specialize in Taijutsu, including a descendant of a large family like the Hyuga clan, and the inheritor of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu secret technique like Rock Lee.
Danzo was very clear about the kicks that Might Guy used on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and they should not be underestimated.
Class 7...
Danzo narrowed his eyes. This was a fairly balanced class, made up of pure combat-capable ninjas. Of course, the combat-capable ninjas here referred to Minato's son, Uzumaki Naruto, and the Uchiha's son, Sasuke. Haruno Sakura? Who was that? Was she just there to make up the numbers?
Team 8 and Team 10 are the Ino-Shika-Cho team for family group building and the class focusing on investigation and tracking, which almost include the children of all the major families that have a say in Konoha.
The teachers who lead the team have their own preferences.
The other teams are much worse than these teams.
Danzo looked at Yota who was bored and shaking Kimimaro's finger bones as dice.
"Yota, I'm planning to form a team called Team 11. Do you have any teammates you'd like? Choose from among the children in our roots."
Yota pointed at Kimimaro, who had an expressionless face.
"Yes, it's him."
