Chapter 48: Danzo Asks for Yuele

Grandpa~I'm counting on you~~

Yue Le kept making eyes at Danzo, his little face almost wrinkled into a ball, making his friends around him want to laugh. At this time, Yue Le hoped that his grandfather could help him quickly. He really didn't want to waste these few hours listening to the mystery here.

Danzo naturally noticed the looks Yuele kept giving him for help. He nodded slightly, telling Yuele not to worry. He had long been fed up with the weak "Will of Fire" advocated by Hiruzen.

Seeing his grandfather's positive response, Yue Le was secretly delighted, thinking that he was finally saved and that he would be able to sneak back home and have a good sleep soon.

He misses his little bed so much now, he is so sleepy...

Yue Le even felt very hungry. Unlike the usual hunger, this was a feeling that came from deep within the body, as if every cell was asking him for nutrients.

However, at this moment, Danzo suddenly spoke, interrupting Sarutobi Hiruzen's endless speech on the Will of Fire.

"Hiruzen, Yuele will leave the regular ninja team organization next, and I will let him officially join the Root system."

"What!!"

Yue Le was stunned when he heard this, and his originally mischievous expression froze for a moment, but soon, as if he remembered something, his face quickly returned to calm.

After all, things have come to this point. If he had just acted a little bit willfully and mischievously because he was bored, it would have been fine. But now that his grandfather had mentioned this matter himself, Yue Le knew that he could not continue to laugh and play around.

In fact, Danzo had mentioned this matter to him before, but he was not sure at that time. It was just that he did not expect Danzo to bring it up at this time.

Hiruzen, who was standing nearby, was interrupted and upon hearing Danzo's words, his originally excited expression turned serious.

He frowned tightly and stared at Danzo, as if trying to see more profound meaning through the other's eyes.

"Danzo, do you know what you just said?" Hiruzen's voice was low and powerful.

In fact, Danzo had already discussed with him about Yuele's entry into the Root before, but Danzo was not sure about the specific time at that time. After all, he regarded Yuele as the successor of the Root organization, and it was only a matter of time before he entered the Root organization.

However, what Hiruzen had not expected was that Danzo would formally mention this matter today, at this moment, just after he completed his mission and returned to the village.

Everyone present knew what it meant to leave the ordinary team system...

Although Yuele himself remained calm, this did not mean that his teammates, Kushina and Hyuga Hisaha, could remain so calm. They were confused and uneasy.

Why, when they had clearly completed their mission, did Danzo let Yuele leave the team?

Is this team going to be disbanded today?

Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, or Orochimaru, they all knew this clearly.

The original intention of choosing Yuele to join the team system and become a member with Kushina and Hinata Hisaha was to cultivate his bond with Konoha.

This is indeed the most perfect interpretation of the will of fire in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

After a moment of silence, he slowly sat back in his chair, took out his pipe, lit it with trembling hands, and took two deep puffs. As the strong aroma of tobacco drifted away, in fact, this matter was not as serious as his expression showed.

He tapped the pipe unconsciously to shake off a layer of ash, then took out fresh tobacco from the pipe hanging on the pipe and stuffed it into his pipe.

"Huh~"

"Danzo, I want an explanation."

He knew very well why Danzo wanted Yuele to quit the team, but at this moment he still needed Danzo to provide a reason - this reason was not for him, but for Hinata Hisaha and Kushina.

Among them, the most crucial person is undoubtedly Kushina.

After all, Hinata Hisaha was, after all, just a member of the Hyuga family's branch. The moment she was carved as a bird in a cage, it was destined that she would never be able to integrate into the core circle of the Hokage lineage.

But despite this, for ninja clans like the Hyuga family who put family interests above the interests of the village, they still have a certain value. However, as a Hokage, he will never over-rely on or reuse them.

At least before their inherent ideas change, any generation of Hokage will make this choice.

It is for this reason that even though Hyuga Hisaho had the good fortune to become a companion of Tsukile and Kushina, and a disciple of Orochimaru, this was merely a "reassurance pill" specially arranged within the Hyuga clan after consultation between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

The purpose is to let the Hyuga clan understand that we, the Hokage lineage, have no intention of excluding your family. Konoha is your home and we will always support you.

The same situation is also the genius Minato Namikaze, who was born into a commoner family. However, due to his own outstanding talent and clean background, Minato Namikaze does have the possibility of truly stepping into the core circle of the Hokage faction.

As for the Uchiha clan, up to now, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo have not let down their guard against them.

You know, not everyone can uphold the noble and pure will of fire like a mirror!

"Yue Le has already obtained what he needed in the team. Next, entering the roots will be more beneficial to his growth."

After saying that, Danzo turned his head slightly, glanced at Kushina and Hinata Hisahi who were looking up at him quietly, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile, and he and Hiruzen beside him smiled at each other as if they had telepathy.

Then, his face remained calm, and his tone did not change at all.

"Given Yuele's talent, he is destined to receive more rigorous and unique individual training. Of course, this does not mean that Yuele will not need to rely on teamwork in the future. After all, even when Orochimaru and his friends were not yet famous in the ninja world, the three of them worked together and never separated."

Then, Danzo continued,

"As far as I know, Jiraiya's team encountered a major incident during their last mission, causing two members to be seriously injured. Their physical condition can no longer meet the basic quality requirements of an ordinary ninja, and they have been retired. Based on this situation, it is a good arrangement to transfer Kushina and Hinata Hisaha to Jiraiya's team."

The feelings between Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had long appeared on the desks of Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi. The bond between the two of them was something that Hiruzen Sarutobi and others were happy to see.

One is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who had long been tied to the Hokage faction, and the other is a talented civilian ninja with no background. Even Danzo who originally wanted to bring Kushina into the Root for training was silent at this time.
