Chapter 24: Danzo Looks Down on Ryosuke
In Hokage's office
The Third Hokage smoked a few cigarettes, and finally put down the report in his hand.
"It's still too early. If he still has such a performance when he graduates, he can be allowed to join Anbu in the future."
He just beat an Uchiha Sasuke.
And it didn't look like a crushing victory, which apparently wasn't enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen to double down on Ryosuke.
At most, he remembered Ryosuke's name and knew that there was such a student in Ninja School.
That's all.
At least with the talent that Ryosuke has shown today, it is not worth it for Sarutobi Hiruzen to invest in him in advance.
"Hey! Ever since the incident of the Uchiha clan, there haven't been many geniuses in the village like Itachi and Shisui, what a pity."
Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a little remorseful.
What he regrets is not that he didn't prevent the Uchiha family from being exterminated.
After all, it was his acquiescence.
What he really regrets is that he didn't guard against Danzo in advance and let him kill Shisui.
Otherwise, he would still have Shisui and Itachi under his command, then why would he have to worry about the future of the village?
And why would he have to look for possible geniuses in ninja schools?
It's all Danzo's fault.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his old friend, he felt angry.
This guy only knows how to embarrass him every day.
If it wasn't for the past friendship, and because he was old, so he liked to recall the past, he wouldn't indulge Danzo's provocations again and again, and that guy Danzo would have died a long time ago.
Speak of the devil and the devil arrives.
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Danzo, Danzo opened the door and walked into the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen, I heard that the kid from the Uchiha clan was defeated by a commoner?"
Shimura Danzō, who pushed the door and came in, leaned on a cane, and when he came up, he said strangely, "I said a long time ago, you should have given this Uchiha kid to me to train. Look at how you have trained him. He can't even beat a civilian."
"Danzo, you don't need to question my decision."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him with a dark face, "Also, remember to knock on the door next time you enter. How old are you, and you still don't even know the rules."
However, Shimura Danzō didn't take Sarutobi Hiruzen's words seriously at all.
He sneered and said, "Hiruzen, it's not too late to hand him over to me. At least I still have the ability to raise this Uchiha clan kid to be a valuable combat force, but if he continues to stay in ninja school, a place where children play games, he will be doomed in the future."
"Leave him to you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and said, "Danzo, don't even think about Uchiha Sasuke. Even if I agree, Itachi won't agree."
"Do you want Itachi to come back and talk to you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzō whose face suddenly became ugly, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
He knew that Itachi had visited Shimura Danzō when he left the village.
Although, it is not clear what the two talked about at the time.
But afterwards, Danzo lost his temper, which shows that the meeting at that time must not have been pleasant.
Um...
The unhappy person should be Danzo without a doubt.
So, Danzo's face became ugly when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen mention the name Itachi again, and threatened him with it.
"Hmph! Would I be afraid of a rebellious little brat?" Danzo said stiffly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also chuckled, not piercing through his disguise.
"However, since Hiruzen, you don't want to, then forget it." Danzo pretended to be generous and said.
After all, this dutiful son would rather slaughter the whole clan than let his brother be touched. He can't afford to offend him.
"By the way, how is the Jinchūriki doing?"
"Let's see what you have trained him to be like?"
"He only knows how to do some pranks in the village all day long. When the war comes later, I'll see how you bring him to the battlefield."
"Why don't you give him to me and let me train him? I promise I can train you a qualified Jinchūriki, how about it?"
Danzo gave up the idea of fighting for Uchiha Sasuke, but instead focused on Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine Tails Jinchūriki.
In fact, he's had his eye on the Nine Tails Jinchūriki since a long time ago.
It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen never agreed.
At this time, he brought up the old matter again, just to see Sarutobi Hiruzen's current attitude.
"Danzo!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's complexion sank, and his slightly cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp.
He stared at the old friend in front of him amd said, "Stop thinking about the Jinchūriki. As long as I am still the Hokage, you will never be allowed to meddle in the Jinchūriki's affairs, do you understand?"
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's harsh tone, Danzo's face darkened.
"Hmph! Hiruzen, you will regret it sooner or later."
"Danzo, mind yourself, remember! I'm the Hokage!"
This sentence again!
Danzo's knuckles tightened in anger.
He tightly held the cane in his hand, wishing he could hit Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face with the cane.
'Always I'm Hokage, Hokage, HOKAGE! Wait! I will take over the Hokage's position sooner or later. And at that time, Hiruzen, you will know who is really qualified to become the Hokage.'
Boom!
Danzo closed the door angrily and left in anger.
Outside the Hokage building
The two root ninjas saw Danzo coming out and hurriedly followed.
"Lord Danzo, did Lord Hokage agree to hand over that kid from the Uchiha clan to you for training?"
Seeing Danzo's ugly face, a root ninja couldn't help asking.
This person is also Danzo's confidant. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to ask Danzo who was angry at this moment.
"Hiruzen is old and already blind." Danzo said coldly.
He made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
"What about the others? Like the civilian genius who defeated Uchiha Sasuke?" The root ninja asked.
"That brat?"
Danzo snorted coldly, "Without an outstanding bloodline, he is doomed to be just a miscellaneous ninja. Besides, the Uchiha kid was trained by Hiruzen to be such a waste. What does it mean to defeat a trash Uchiha?"
Obviously, Danzo didn't even look at Ryosuke, who was called a civilian genius by his subordinates.
