Chapter 10 Danzo's Green Hat and the Arrival of Kumogakure
Hiruzen Sarutobi has successfully returned, and has also gained an elite ANBU member who knows Wood Release—Tenzo.
The process was incredibly convoluted; I never imagined that my best friend would try to kill me.
If Tianzang hadn't betrayed them, they might have actually succeeded.
The battle that was supposed to take place in Orochimaru's laboratory was thus unnecessaryly omitted.
As expected of the white-haired succubus Kakashi, his charm over his allies is off the charts.
"Danzo, this child will be handed over to the Hokage's direct ANBU from now on."
The Third Hokage, accompanied by the silent Tenzo, or rather, Yamato, arrived at the Root of Konoha.
"Nonsense! A, are you betraying me?!"
Danzo stared in disbelief at Tenzo standing behind Sarutobi, his disappointment and anger clearly visible.
"Lord Danzo, I believe that ninjas should protect their comrades, not kill each other."
Hiding behind Sarutobi, Tenzo mustered his courage and loudly told Danzo his thoughts.
"You traitor!"
"Have you forgotten who saved you!"
"Have you forgotten who raised you step by step?"
"Have you forgotten who erected the tombstone for your fallen comrade?"
Danzo's question struck at the heart of Tenzo; the current Danzo was not yet as insane as he was in the original story.
His feelings for Yamato were genuine, after all, Yamato possessed the Wood Release technique that allowed the First Hokage to dominate the world.
Although his strength was far inferior to that of the First Hokage, it far surpassed that of many Jonin, possessing combat power comparable to that of a Kage.
These are all top talents I've cultivated step by step from childhood to adulthood, codenamed A.
Now they're actually going to Sarutobi's side.
Danzo began to prepare hand seals to unleash the seal engraved on Yamato's body.
I'm so disappointed! The kid I raised has been kidnapped by Sarutobi!
However, could Sarutobi not know Danzo's methods?
He immediately rebuked.
"Stop! Danzo! Do you still want to stay in Konoha?"
"This matter ends here. Remove the seal from his body, and he will be mine from now on."
Sarutobi unleashed his full aura, the armor beneath his Hokage robe clanging loudly.
You can tell he's serious.
At that moment, Danzo's mind was filled with only the words that Sarutobi had shouted.
From now on, he's mine.
After that, he became mine.
He's mine now.
He's mine.
Snowflakes are falling and the breeze is blowing.
"Hiruzen, he was raised by me!"
Danzo let out his final lament.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
Sarutobi used his status as Hokage to intimidate Danzo, and another sharp blade pierced Danzo's heart.
hateful.
"Sarutobi, you'll regret this!"
A few tears fell from Danzo's old eyes. Damn it, it seems we need to hurry up with the next plan targeting the Uchiha clan.
Sarutobi put his divine robe back on, put on his straw hat, and left the dark Root with Tenzo.
Tenzo placed his mask, which he wore as armor, at the entrance of the Root, taking one last look at the man who had raised him.
I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, I've found the meaning of life and can no longer live as a root.
A white-haired ANBU member stood outside Root and came to greet the Third Hokage when he saw him bring Tenzo out.
"Kakashi, I'm entrusting this child to you from now on."
Sarutobi smiled and said to the two of them.
"yes!"
At this moment, Kakashi, who was about to become the captain of the Anbu, accepted the task of mentoring the younger generation.
"Let's go, Tianzang."
Kakashi's voice was cold, but it sounded incredibly warm to Tenzo, who was now free.
"Yes, Kakashi-senpai!"
Sarutobi looked at his two outstanding juniors with a happy smile.
(Danzo: That's mine! I raised it!!!)
"Let's go, the delegation from Kumogakure will be here soon, and we need to discuss some post-war communications."
"Kakashi, take him back to the Anbu first, and then come to the conference room to listen in on this meeting later."
Sarutobi had always intended to train Kakashi, the student of his student's student's student. Kakashi was also the son of Konoha's White Fang, the former captain of the Anbu, and the youngest Jonin in history.
However, the events of that year still dealt him a heavy blow, and coupled with the burden of his best friend's Sharingan, not only did his strength never truly improve, but his will also became increasingly depressed.
The reason for having him mentor Tenzo was to encourage him, so that even if Kakashi were to pass away, he could still protect Konoha from harm.
"...yes"
Kakashi was silent for a moment, but then he agreed.
After all, it was an exchange between ninja villages, and it happened not long after the war.
Now that Konoha has lost all its high-level combat power, I can still hold my own there and put some pressure on Kumogakure.
And so they left the roots.
...
"Have you all understood the mission?"
"Remember, this time we must get Konoha's Byakugan."
"With the Byakugan, one of the two strongest eyes in the world, our Kumogakure military capabilities will be enhanced to an unprecedented degree."
"Even if Konoha comes looking for trouble, we won't be afraid."
The captain of the Cloud Ninja delegation, who was leading the group, addressed his team members outside Konoha Village.
The Leaf Village is no longer as powerful as it once was. The Yellow Flash once terrified the Iwa and Kumo ninja, but now he is dead!
Furthermore, Konoha's trump card, the Nine-Tails, has gone berserk, and even if it is sealed inside a Jinchuriki, it may not be usable.
In conclusion, Konoha would absolutely not dare to attack Kumogakure again.
Unless all three legendary Sannin of Konoha return, or the deceased Hokage are resurrected, what can they use to fight against the Cloud Ninja?
"yes!"
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.
After a brief handover, they were escorted by Konoha ninjas to the Hokage Building's conference room.
After some back and forth, the Cloud Village delegation successfully extended their trip by 5 days.
The rest room of the Cloud Ninja in the evening.
"Hey, Karadou, are you not listening in?"
Sensing ninja Karadou carefully sensed the surroundings and found no signs of being monitored.
"When we visit the Hyuga clan tomorrow, remember to remember the locations, especially the main branch."
"The news says that the Zong family has a daughter who is already 3 years old."
"It would be perfect to bring them back to the village; maybe then we could have a white-eyed family."
The group fantasized about returning to the village with Bai Yanxueji and being hailed as heroes by everyone. How ridiculous!
Meanwhile, Hinata, unaware that she was being targeted, was diligently training with her cousin Neji.
Sweat dripped from her smooth forehead, but her eyes remained exceptionally firm.
With a loud thud, she was knocked to the ground by Neji.
Seeing this, Neji quickly went forward to help Hinata up.
At this moment, he had already been branded as a caged bird, and his hatred for the main family naturally increased under the unintentional influence of the family division.
However, Hinata was, after all, his younger sister, and Neji couldn't bear to look at her coldly.
This has led to Neji's current awkward state.
However, when Hinata is injured, Neji will still turn back into the caring older brother who loves his sister.
"Are you alright, young lady?"
Neji pulled Hinata up from the ground.
"Hey Neji, let's continue."
Hinata wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, cheered herself up in her mind, and got into position to continue training with Neji.
