Chapter 399
"You say!" Kato Dan looked at Danzo and asked politely.
He did not agree immediately.
"The Senju clan strongman who was stationed at this border has died in battle. The border here can be said to be leaderless.
You are strong and steady. I want you to take over the position of captain of the guard here, so I called you here to ask your opinion!"
In this battle, the most outstanding people are the three ninjas, followed by Kato Dan.
Uchiha Mirai and the others do not count, their situation is just an accident.
Besides, the number of jonins killed by Kato Dan is no less than 30.
Among them are elite jonins.
There are only three or four of them in the future, and in terms of number, they are not even a fraction of them.
What makes people pay attention to them is that they used some kind of secret method to summon huge summoned beasts and change the situation of the battle.
And they are young enough.
This is what makes people shine, but geniuses are never lacking in the ninja world.
There are more geniuses who died young!
Unlike now, Kato Dan already has the strength to threaten other countries.
It is a threat now, not a threat that may be in the future.
So Danzo also has a heart of love for talent, he wants to pull this man into the root and become his right hand.
Kato Dan was stunned for a moment, he said in astonishment: "Let me guard here?!"
"I should not be qualified!"
Danzo smiled lightly and said: "You underestimate yourself too much. Now you are already close to me in strength. You are steady and not easily tricked by the enemy. You are the best choice to guard here!"
Hearing this, Kato Dan was still a little dizzy.
He was just an ordinary jonin. Thanks to the third generation of Hokage, he revealed another secret technique to himself.
Let his strength advance by leaps and bounds.
But it took him three years to practice this trick.
In these three years, he did not do any tasks, and his contribution to the village was very poor.
Being like this, he was suddenly arranged to be the leader of the border defense. This was simply a step up and it was easy to get into trouble.
So he hesitated and wanted to refuse.
"I think Maruboshi Kosuke, who has much more experience and strength than me, should be the most suitable person for this position!"
Hearing Kato Dan mention Maruboshi Kosuke.
Danzo couldn't help curling his lips.
That guy is more like a stinky stone in the toilet than him.
Stinky and hard.
It was just a command error that ruined the lives of two companions.
As for making such a fuss and swearing to be a Genin for the rest of his life!
At the beginning, not only Sarutobi had looked for Maruboshi Kosuke, he also tried to win him over, but he was rejected by him, saying that he was a sinner and was not worthy of being a leader.
If there is anything, just tell him what to do, he will risk his life and complete the task.
"He is not interested in this, and because of some things that happened in his early years, he does not want to be a leader. He wants to be a Genin for life and burn himself for Konoha!"
Seeing that Kato Dan was about to say something, Danzo leaned back and said lightly: "Okay, I know what you think. You are afraid that your qualifications are not enough and you can't convince the people here, right!"
"Uh..."
"Yes, Master Danzo!" Kato Dan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
"Okay, I am not good at talking. You can go around the camp now and you will know if you are qualified!"
Kato Dan: "???"
Go around the camp...
If Danzo hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have realized that he rarely wandered around the camp since he came here.
Every time he was either fighting or studying the [Spiritualization Technique] in his tent, he wanted to be more proficient, so that he could exert stronger strength.
For example, do two things at the same time.
Half of his mind stayed in his body, controlling his body's actions, and the other half was performing the [Spiritualization Technique] to mercilessly harvest the enemy.
This was the final idea of the second generation in the notebook, but unfortunately he had not had time to perfect it before he died.
So he rarely walked around the camp.
In his impression, most people in the camp had serious expressions, and few people played around.
Everyone was wiping their equipment and ready to fight at any time.
The whole camp was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Since Elder Danzo asked him to go out and take a look, he would just follow his advice.
He stood up and bowed, "Then Elder Danzo, I'm going out first!"
"Well, go ahead. After dinner, come back and give me your answer!"
"Okay!"
After a roar, Kato Dan left.
Looking at the other party's disappearing back, RyomaHe asked, "Sir, do you want to recruit him into the Root?"
Danzo nodded, "I have this idea!"
He glanced at Ryoma, and seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he said, "Don't you think it's not possible?"
Ryoma nodded, "Yes, Danzo!"
"Tell me what you think!"
"【Spiritualization Technique】is a forbidden technique that ignores distance and defense to kill souls. It is a method used by the Third Generation to restrain Uchiha. He will definitely not give Kato Dan to us!"
Hearing this, Danzo was stunned. He has been absent-minded for the past two days. He has been distracted by the adult in the village.
He didn't expect this obvious thing.
"You make sense. Forget it. When we go back, I'll ask Sarutobi!"
Aburame Ryoma suddenly suggested: "Danzo-sama, I think Orochimaru is more suitable for the Root. His scientific research ability is very important to us!"
Hearing this, Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Orochimaru..."
He had wanted to pull Orochimaru into his Root before, but Sarutobi had been secretly obstructing him, making him fail every time.
"It just so happens that Sarutobi asked our Root to lead the "Wood Release Experiment". Let's take this opportunity to ask him to come over!"
...
Time is a ruthless thing.
In the future, they don't know how time can go so fast.
In the blink of an eye, seven days later has arrived.
Today is the day of Uzumaki Mito's funeral.
There were no complicated etiquette, no suona and gongs and drums, only Kushina quietly holding the urn, and Nawaki holding the photo frame, walking slowly side by side from the Whirlpool Tower to the condolence monument along the street.
At this time, there was already photography technology, but it was not very developed.
On the street, everyone was very solemn.
Some of them knew Uzumaki Mito, and some did not.
But for the dead, his heart was heavy, even the most naughty children, quietly looking at the photo frame and the ashes.
Uzumaki Mito's body was sent for cremation the day after her death.
This was Uzumaki Mito's request, she didn't want to be disturbed by people in the world after her death.
Because when Tobirama was developing [Reincarnation], he sought answers from her.
Originally, Tobirama developed this trick to save the life of his brother, Senju Hashirama.
But gradually it evolved into a kind of resurrection technique.
But he didn't want to live anymore.
He said that Uchiha Madara was dead and went to the Pure Land. He was very lonely and she had to accompany him.
So this forbidden technique was banned by him for the first time. No one except himself could touch this technique, not even Sarutobi Hiruzen who became Hokage.
So Mito knew clearly that once her biological information was left in the world, it would be used by ambitious people for experiments.
Although she participated in the invention of [Immortal Reincarnation] and knew the weaknesses of this technique, there would definitely be amazing people among the younger generation.
If someone summoned her, she would really want to beat that person to death.
She was also in a bad mood when she woke up.
Kushina, Tsunade, and even Sarutobi also respected each other's wishes and did not collect her biological information.
That is, a certain amount of flesh and blood.
At that time, it was already the fourth day after Danzo knew about this.
After Kato Dan was willing to take over the position of local garrison commander, he returned to Konoha with his men.
When he saw that Lady Mito had turned into ashes, he felt that it was a waste.
He could not disturb Lady Mito's soul, but her body must contain countless secrets.
Among them was the secret that the world wanted most, longevity.
You know, he and Sarutobi are not young anymore.
He felt that his body was beginning to decline, and I think Sarutobi was the same.
But it was already gone, what else could he say!
