Chapter 240: Applying for a New Intern

"What the hell? Is Mr. Hiruzen okay?" Luo Yi made a sharp turn and didn't say "Is he okay?"

Me, the acting Hokage, are you serious?

Although Lao Luo has worked as an apprentice Genin, apprentice teacher, apprentice doctor, and apprentice interrogator in the past three years, isn't it a bit too advanced to suddenly ask him to be an apprentice Hokage?

Eat your meal one bite at a time. If you take big steps, you might easily tear your balls.

"I don't think I misunderstood what the Third-Kage meant." Kakashi recalled the conversation in the Hokage tent just now, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that he appreciates you more than Naruto, although it's a bit unfair to say this, Minato-sensei..."

"Teacher Hiruzen, you must be joking. I'm only 13 years old." Luo Yi is now accustomed to his new age.

"Gaara next door became the official Fifth Kazekage at the age of 15. The status of 'Kage' depends on the ability of the ninja, not age." Kakashi is good at using examples.

This just reminded Luo Yi, "By the way, Gaara! How is he doing now?"

The Five Kage Summit cannot be without the presence of the Kazekage, which is one of the reasons why he is in a hurry to go to the Land of Waves to confirm the current situation.

"As for Gaara, he reappeared in the public eye a month ago. What he announced to the public was that he had recovered successfully and returned to the position of Kazekage to perform his duties. The Sand Village has been peaceful in the past month, except for..." Kakashi pinched his chin.

"Except what?" So far, everything was pretty much the same as the original plan, and Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is a noteworthy piece of gossip. Our diplomatic envoys stationed in Sunagakure seem to have discovered that the former Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu, is hiding with Gaara. But Akatsuki has already obtained the Seven-Tails, and the Jinchuriki who was not rescued by the secret technique should have died long ago." Kakashi looked at the increasingly uneasy Lao Luo with suspicion.

Fu? Why did she follow Gaara back to Sunagakure? Could it be that their friendship had changed... No, their friendship had gone bad?

"It seems that even though you have been comatose in the wonderland of Mount Myoboku for two months, you are still aware of what happened a month ago." Kakashi saw his cold sweat.

"I really don't know about that..." Lao Luo was referring to the fact that Fu ran away with Gaara.

"Really? Never mind. The reason I asked this was to confirm your ability to strategize, and I am convinced by the conclusion." Kakashi smiled with satisfaction.

Even if one accidentally falls into a coma, one can still arrange important things and have a clear understanding of the development of the current situation. This is the most necessary ability to become a "shadow".

I have to admire that the third-generation old man really has a good eye for people.

"Ahaha..." Luo Yi laughed dryly, knowing that he was being tested by a cunning adult. "Forget about being the acting Hokage. I don't like to be in the spotlight. However, I do plan to attend the Five Kage Summit."

Sasuke cannot be contacted at the moment. If the will of the world insists on returning to the original work, then the most likely place to see him is at the Five Kage Summit.

As for whether Danzo will die in the Land of Iron, Luo Yi doesn't care. I'm afraid that in a sense, the only one who cares about him is the Third Hokage who has survived to this day.

"Is that so? We are going to follow them secretly. Do you want to come with us?" Kakashi was not surprised by his idea and suggested in a friendly manner.

"No, I have a more direct method." Luo Yi smiled cunningly.

"Directly? Sneaking into the venue? That would be a crime."

"Of course not. In principle, each Kage attending the meeting can bring two guards, right? Hanabi and I will be in charge."

...

It is probably the consensus of all readers that the indigenous people of the ninja world generally lack political literacy. After all, the original author's hometown does not even have national sovereignty. Those who understand will understand.

That’s why there is a twisted setting of ninjas and ninja villages that are independent of the political system but have monopolized military power and strength.

The existence of ninjas is equivalent to the bound mercenaries of a big country, and "shadow" is the mercenary leader, the mercenary leader who controls the nuclear arsenal.

It is hard to imagine what the existence of daimyo would be needed for if the shadow had political qualities above the passing line.

then…

"What nonsense are you talking about? The guards have already been chosen. They will be my trusted confidants in the Root, Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame Tone. It has nothing to do with you."

The next day, in the Hokage tent, Luo Yi met Danzo for the first time, and as expected, his proposal was rejected.

It is hard to believe that the elites of the Yamanaka clan and the Aburame clan would join the "Root" and become pawns under Danzo's control, and that the two clans actually acquiesced to Danzo's infiltration of them.

But thinking back to the past, the "Root" also intended to absorb me. If I had been led by Danzo at that time, perhaps I would have become the "root" of the "Root" extending to the Hyuga clan.

No wonder Danzo didn't give Luo Yi any face. If he didn't accept the olive branch he threw out the first time, there would only be thorns in the future.

Considering that all members of the "Root" will be given the "Mark of the Tongue-Eradication", it seems that the first time should not be called an olive branch.

"Don't say that, Mr. Acting Hokage." Luo Yi's words were polite, but there was no respect in his tone. Instead, he placed special emphasis on the word "acting", which was in sharp contrast to the Third Hokage standing next to him.

"If you have nothing else to do, please leave here. I still have to prepare for the next trip." On the first day of Danzo's appointment, he was extremely arrogant and ordered everyone to leave on the spot.

"Is it really okay for the powerful Hanabi and I to protect you?" Lao Luo said sarcastically, "I heard that Sasuke and that Madara have their own ideas about the Five Kage Summit. If they encounter danger, I'm afraid that if I don't have some strength..."

"If they dare to come, I will deal with them on the spot and put an end to my worries." Danzo subconsciously showed his bandaged right arm covered with a metal shell.

Well, there is no other most annoying right hand in the whole drama. The only one who can be "comparable" to it is probably Uchiha Shin, who added a poor finishing touch to the original.

An arm made of Hashirama's cells plus ten Sharingans, it's scary just to think about it.

"Ahem...but forgive me for being blunt, I have fought with both Sasuke and Madara, and with your strength, I'm afraid you can't deal with any one of them; if the two of them work together, even a few more Feng and Qugen will not be able to protect you." Luo Yi didn't say it too harshly.

Danzo doesn't just have the consumable Sharingan on his right arm. Under the bandage on his right eye is Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan. If he were to use "Kotoamatsukami" on himself out of nowhere, he'd be in big trouble.

Luo Yi still hasn't figured out the principle behind Bie Tianshen, and his previous battle with Bai Juedou made him realize that he is not absolutely immune to illusions.

"You're so arrogant, kid." Danzo looked around and saw Feng and Qugen behind him remained silent, as if they were not provoked, so he suggested with satisfaction, "I admit that you have some strength, but an uncontrolled ninja will not only hurt the enemy, but also yourself."

He is still extremely suspicious of his loyal subordinates and will not feel at ease unless he uses tough measures to control them. This is why he plans to leave Shisui's Mangekyō to Mifune, the chairman of the Five Kage Council.

Otherwise, the kid in front of him is worthy of his use of other gods.

"That's wrong, sir. There's a saying in my hometown, 'Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ.' If you can't trust your subordinates, you can't lead the entire village Great Again." Luo Yi applies the past to the present and combines Chinese and Western cultures.

Danzo: “?”

What nonsense is he talking about again, and the old man Hiruzen is nodding, does he understand the meaning of it?

This makes you look uncultured, okay?

"Hmph... Trust is built on domination. It's precisely because of Hiruzen's naivety that young people like you who don't understand the true nature of ninjas appear in endlessly." It's a pity that Danzo could say this in front of the Third Hokage.

Jiraiya was still listening in the cubicle.

"Oh? That's why Konoha is in such a miserable state today... If I remember correctly, Kabuto Yakushi was originally your man, right?"

After a blink of silence, the Hokage tent was torn into pieces by the wind escape technique, and two figures, one old and one young, jumped out of it and confronted each other across more than ten meters.

"What's going on? What happened?" The nearby Anbu were scared. Don't let the village chief get into trouble again while they were slacking off and eating donuts. There are two and a half Hokage in this tent.

When did being a Hokage become a high-risk profession?

"Don't be nervous, I'm applying for the position of 'Trainee Bodyguard' from the Acting Hokage, and you want to see my skills." Luo Yi was hanging high in the air, trying to comfort everyone with a harmless smile.

"That's right, I'll test it myself." Danzo stood on the tree branch, "Konoha" for the first time, with a grim look on his face.
