Chapter 135
The two advisors did not take Danzo's opinion to heart, they had already made up their minds.
If Jiraiya refused to succeed the throne as the Fifth Hokage, they would pester him!
They did not believe that Jiraiya could stand it!
Seeing that he had no chance of succeeding the throne for the time being, Danzo turned around with an unhappy look on his face and prepared to leave.
At this time, Mito Kado En called him,"Danzo, Sarutobi's body is still with you, right? The people of the Sarutobi clan have come to claim it, and the funeral of the Third Hokage must be completed as soon as possible. Konoha does not have that much time to grieve."
"Humph, when I came here, I had already ordered someone to send his body over."Danzo left without looking back, with no intention of staying here.
Seeing Danzo finally leave, the two advisors also breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is indeed no one in Konoha who is more qualified than Danzo to succeed the Fifth Hokage, but I really don't agree with his philosophy."Mitomon En said to Utane Koharu
"Well, what do you think of the one-tailed beast?"Utatane Koharu nodded in agreement and asked
"The Third Generation died in battle. If they could leave behind one tail and create a new Jinchūriki, it would be a great boost to Konoha's strength."
"But it is not necessarily a good thing for Danzo to have the One-Tail in his hands. You have to know that he once assassinated Sarutobi, who was about to succeed him. If he controls the One-Tail and fails in the election for Hokage, he will inevitably do the same thing."
"This is indeed a cause for concern, so it is necessary to push Gekko Yagyu out. With his strength and temperament, it should not be so easy for Danzo to create a new Jinchūriki. As long as Jiraiya succeeds, the One-Tail Jinchūriki can also come over!"
"We have to see what Jiraiya thinks. Konoha is very weak now. Although the Sand Village invaded Konoha, their fourth generation is also dead. The Rock Village and the Cloud Village are eyeing us covetously. We can't continue to fight each other. If giving up one tail can be exchanged for reconciliation with the Sand Village, it's not a bad idea."
"Um...Let's wait until Jiraiya succeeds to the throne."
At night,
Gekkou Yagyu and Karin, who had just finished taking a bath, were walking home happily, not knowing that they had been used as pawns by the two advisors.
"Karin, if you have time, you can go to Konoha Hospital to learn massage techniques. It's really disappointing to not have a good masseur when taking a bath."
"ah...Yes!" Karin agreed with a blushing face.
Seeing that Karin was still so shy, Yagyu teased:"It will be a bit embarrassing the first time, but you will get used to it later."
"Ah? Okay, Yagyu-kun!"
""Well, this young man is teachable~"
Yagyu shook his head and praised Karin for being well-behaved. Suddenly, three people appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
The one on the left had long orange hair tied into a ponytail, a square face, and a Konoha ninja forehead protector on his head.
The one in the middle had half of his body wrapped in bandages, and he was leaning on a cane in his left hand, but his steps were steady.
The one on the right wore a strange black mask that only revealed his mouth and part of his face. He wore a black windbreaker and walked with the wind.
Yamanaka Kaze, Shimura Danzo, and Aburame Tone!
""You are not here with good intentions."
Yagyu yawned and quietly protected Karin behind him.
After a while, the three of them stopped five meters away from Yagyu.
With the speed of a ninja, five meters is just a split second. It would be impolite to go any further.
"I am the leader of the Konoha Root, Shimura Danzo. Gekko Yagyu, Karin, you have been chosen by the Root. From today on, you will enter the Root and obey my orders."Shimura Danzo raised his proud head with a hint of contempt on his face.
Even though Gekko Yagyu showed unparalleled talent, he still did not take Yagyu seriously.
But coincidentally, Yagyu did not take him seriously either.
"Where did this psychopath come from in the middle of the night! Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the road!"
Yagyu cursed and was about to leave with Karin.
Danzo didn't expect that Yagyu would completely ignore him, and frowned. Yamanaka Feng beside him immediately stood up and said,"Moonlight Yagyu! The Root is a special organization affiliated to Konoha, and it is at the same level as Konoha's Anbu, and Lord Danzo is the founder of the Root! It is your blessing to be invited by Lord Danzo in person, so why don't you thank Lord Danzo quickly!"
At this time, Yagyu was still walking on his own, as if he didn't hear it.
"Karin, it sounds like a dog is barking, did you hear it?"
"Huh? Dog barking? Where is the dog barking? I only heard that person......"Karin was a little slow to realize that Yagyu was mocking Shan Zhongfeng, and was immediately speechless.
Shan Zhongfeng was even more angry and attacked Yagyu directly.
""Looking for death!"
In an instant, Shan Zhongfeng showed the speed of a jonin and appeared beside Yagyu. Wearing black gloves, he grabbed Yagyu's head.
But countless flames appeared out of thin air on Yagyu's body and repelled him.
Fire Style. Fire Bird Style
Shan Zhongfeng was unable to react and was burned by the flames coming out of Yagyu's body. The high temperature flames instantly burned his clothes to shreds, and the pain in his flesh made him scream out in pain!
"Ah! Master Danzo, save me!"
Danzo frowned, and casually formed a seal and threw out a hurricane to blow out the not-so-big flame on Shan Zhongfeng's body, and Shan Zhongfeng was saved!
"Thank you, Danzo-sama, for saving my life!"
"Humph, you rubbish, stand aside."
"Yes."
Yamanaka Feng did not dare to refute and stood silently beside Danzo. As Danzo's personal bodyguard, he mastered the special ninjutsu of the Yamanaka clan. He was good at perception but not good at fighting.
He dared to step forward and take action mainly to test Yagyu's strength.
Although he did not measure much, he more or less completed the task.
Danzo turned his attention to Gekkou Yagyu again and said lightly:"Your talent is indeed amazing enough, not much worse than the fourth generation."
"If you have anything to fart, please fart. I'm not in the mood to listen to you.���"Yagyu didn't like Danzo, and didn't want to play along with him.
If Danzo wasn't still useful to him, he would have killed him long ago.
An old bastard who was always thinking about him in the dark!
"I can understand that young people are talented and arrogant, but they must also learn to respect their predecessors and respect authority. Believe it or not, I can make sure you will never become a Chunin in your entire life!"
"Finished? Get out of here if you're done!"
Yagyu, Karin and Danzo passed by each other. He gave Danzo the opportunity to talk nonsense.
But obviously he didn't cherish it.
Threatening me?
I'll kill you sooner or later!
Danzo was also a little annoyed. He tolerated again and again, but what he got in return was alienation!
No more pretending, let's show my cards!
I'm here to rob people!
Danzo raised his left arm, and the next moment dozens of masked Root ninjas appeared and surrounded Gekko Yagyu and Karin!
"Gekko Yagyu, since you don't want to join the Root, I won't keep you, but Karin, you have to stay with me!"
