Chapter 89 Danzo

In the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building.

Chiba met Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.

Chiba took out the scroll Orochimaru had given him and gave it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, this is what Orochimaru asked me to give you. It is a summary of the current situation in the Land of Hot Springs."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll and began to read it.

At this time, Danzo looked at Chiba and said, "I heard that you led four Uchiha to carry out a mission in the Land of Hot Springs?"

As soon as I heard Danzo's voice, I felt like he was going to do something bad.

Qianyu nodded and said, "Danzo-sama, yes, because of the order of Orochimaru-sensei, I am the captain and command the four Uchiha ninjas."

Danzo narrowed his eyes at Chiba and asked, "Is it just because of Orochimaru's order?"

Chiba said again: "Yes, it's just because of the order of Master Orochimaru."

Danzo was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "What do you think of Uchiha?"

Chiyu looked at Danzo in confusion.

Danzo asked him this question, most likely to confirm his position.

But as a Jonin, it is inappropriate for him to express his opinions on Uchiha here, whether positive or negative.

Danzo said expressionlessly: "I remember that you seemed to have a deep conflict with the Uchiha clan. Since you accepted the mission to lead four Uchiha ninjas, has the conflict been resolved?"

Qianyu replied calmly: "It's not about reconciliation. We are all companions of the same village. Compared with the village, personal conflicts are completely insignificant."

As a smart man, Danzo could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Qianyu's words.

The conflict between Chiba and the Uchiha clan has not been reconciled, but he is leading the team just because it is a mission.

Danzo's mouth curled up: "Qianyu, right? You are very good. Do you have any idea to come to my root?"

Qianyu was shocked. Recruiting him to the Root in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Isn't this not good?

And he doesn't want to go to the roots now.

While Chiba was thinking about how to politely refuse Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already finished reading the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Danzo, Chiba is now the backbone of our Konoha. She must continue to be active on the battlefield and cannot join your Root.

The current situation in the Land of Hot Springs is very stable, and the situation on other battlefields is also quite good. We can now accumulate strength and send a large number of Genin to the battlefield to gain experience and increase our strength."

Danzo snorted coldly, "Don't be too optimistic. According to the information obtained by my Root Ninja, the old immortal in the Hidden Rock Village has already sent ninjas to contact the Hidden Mist Village.

You sent so many ninjas to the Hidden Mist Village but were turned away. However, the Hidden Mist Village received the ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village, which means that there is a great possibility that the Hidden Rock Village will reach a cooperation with the Hidden Mist Village.

Once the Hidden Mist Village clearly states that it will cooperate with the Hidden Rock Village, the three major ninja villages of Rock, Cloud, and Mist will definitely attack our Konoha directly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly: "Of course I know about this situation. I have been suppressed for so long. Finally there is some good news, so I should be a little happier. As for the cooperation between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Mist Village, there is no need to be so pessimistic."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise: "What news did you get?"

The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face disappeared, and he said seriously: "You should know about the Blood Mist Village created by the Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, right?"

Danzo nodded, "I do know that it seems to be a policy designed to select powerful ninjas, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said, "That's right. According to the intelligence we ninjas obtained after sneaking into the Hidden Mist Village, this policy of the Hidden Mist Village has indeed screened out many powerful ninjas, but the death rate of other ninjas is too high. If this continues, the Hidden Mist Village is likely to fall into a dilemma of lacking external forces."

Danzo frowned and said, "You think the Hidden Mist Village won't cooperate with the Hidden Rock Village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "No, as long as there is benefit, the cooperation between Kirigakure and Iwagakure is inevitable. However, if Kirigakure lacks external forces, it is also an opportunity for us. Do you think Ohnoki and Ai will suffer losses?"

Danzo understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant: "You mean that Ōnoki and Ai will kick out the Hidden Mist Village, and then we can incite rebellion against the Hidden Mist Village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "No one knows how the future will develop, but the Hidden Mist Village is likely to be a breakthrough for us, and Ohnoki is not a guy who will sit still, so I don't think we need to be too pessimistic about the current situation in Konoha. We still have many opportunities."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiba again: "Sorry, Chiba, we were so busy chatting that we forgot about you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll from the drawer and handed it to Chiba: "This is your transfer order to the battlefield in the Land of Grass."

Chiyu took the scroll and bowed, "Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen then asked, "There is one more thing. I heard from Orochimaru that you are not planning to bring three Genin this time, but are planning to directly accept a disciple?"

Qian Yu replied with the prepared words, "Yes, Hokage. Because my mobility is suitable for acting alone, I am not suitable for leading a three-person team. So I plan to take in a disciple and teach him directly on the battlefield."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly: "Well, that's fine. The graduation examination of the Ninja School will be held in two days. Then you can choose a graduating Genin as your disciple."

Qianyu lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, then Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo, I will not disturb you anymore and will take my leave now."

"Go."

Qianyu left the office and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly met Danzo in the office this time, and Danzo actually wanted to recruit him directly, which really caught Qianyu off guard.

Although it was the first time they met, Danzo's notoriety was deeply engraved in Qianyu's mind.

Qianyu frowned slightly. Now she was officially in Danzo's sight and was being targeted by him.

This guy Danzo is truly unscrupulous in doing things.

When doing things in the future, you have to be careful of Danzo.

After Chiba walked out of the Hokage building, a smile appeared on her face and she walked towards Uzumaki Mito's residence.

And in the office.

Danzo said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Do you think he is suitable?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't react for a moment: "What did you say?"

Danzo said with a gloomy expression, "Of course it's the Uchiha clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly froze: "Danzo, Konoha needs the power of the Uchiha now! Now is not the time to solve their problems."

Danzo reminded: "What about after the war? The Uchiha is now so actively participating in the war, isn't it because they want to return to the power center of Konoha? I believe you are also aware of the harm of the Uchiha, so you must consider it as soon as possible."
