Chapter 27: First Meeting with Minato
Danzo wasn't sure whether his words could move Orochimaru.
He only knew that after hearing these words, Orochimaru stared at the children in training in a daze.
These words are based on Orochimaru's lines from his previous life, with some other insights added in.
I hope it can have some effect on Orochimaru now.
"Alas, I didn't expect that being a good person is more tiring than being a bad person."
The village is full of problem children.
I'm really worried about it.
Yes, Asuma has been born, and that brat Obito is probably about the same age.
There is still a long way to go to achieve peace in the ninja world.
I was thinking about what to do next.
Danzo simply ignored Orochimaru and left quietly.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
If that doesn't work, transfer Jiraiya over here and let him monitor his good friend.
Thinking of this, Danzo strolled to the commercial street.
As battle reports from the front line continued to arrive, the civilians in the village also had a clear understanding of the direction of the war.
Everyone can see that it is only a matter of time before Sunagakure is defeated.
As a result, the atmosphere in the village gradually became lively.
The hawkers' shouts and the children's laughter appeared in Konoha Village after a long absence.
"Minato, it's my treat today, order whatever you want!"
A familiar voice was heard, and looking in the direction, three figures in white, yellow and red came into view.
Jiraiya was seen sitting in the dango shop with Minato and Kushina, with a few strings of tri-color dango on a plate in front of them.
Kushina sat next to Minato, stealing a glance at him from time to time, then looking away with a blushing face.
Even Danzo, a lifelong bachelor, felt sick after watching this.
It was like being hit by lightning.
On the other hand, Minato had a smile on his face. While handing food to Kushina, he would occasionally echo Jiraiya.
Good boy, you are really good at picking up girls.
Danzo, who couldn't stand the sweet atmosphere, strode into the dumpling shop.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Danzo? Please take a seat."
The sharp-eyed proprietress saw Danzo coming in and hurried over to greet him.
The sound quickly attracted the attention of Jiraiya and the others.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Danzo? Do you want to sit next to me?"
Jiraiya turned around, diabolo in hand, and made polite remarks to Danzo.
"Really? Sorry for the expense."
Upon hearing this, Danzo didn't hesitate and sat down in the seat next to Jiraiya with his hands in his pockets.
Then I asked the proprietress to place my order.
What the hell?
Spending money?
Jiraiya was confused.
I just asked you to come over and sit, I didn't say I would treat you, right? !
Evil Shimura Roto, I will kill you with my own hands -
With vicious words in his mind, Jiraiya touched the wallet in his pocket.
Feeling the dry touch, Jiraiya missed Uchiha Qing's presence for the first time.
After all, as long as that guy is around, I never have to worry about paying.
Uchiha Qing: Please turn on the microphone for communication.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to go find Uchiha Qing right now.
Jiraiya pursed his lips and introduced Danzo to Minato and the others.
"Minato, Kushina, this is Danzo-sama, the 'highly respected' Hokage assistant."
Ignoring Jiraiya's deliberate emphasis on the pronunciation of 'highly respected', Danzo smiled and nodded to the two of them.
"Hello, Master Danzo!" X2
They both responded politely.
Minato even took the initiative to introduce himself.
Although his voice was still a little childish, his tone was totally unlike that of a person of his age.
There is absolutely no nervousness that one would have at this age when facing a superior.
It is indeed a rough diamond.
Looking at Minato's immature but sunny face, Danzo felt deeply moved.
He is worthy of being called the little sun of Konoha, so dazzling even before he reaches adulthood.
It has to be admitted that Minato's death was a great loss to Konoha.
......
Except for Jiraiya, everyone else was full and satisfied.
Seeing that Danzo was really just sitting there, he didn't mention anything about paying the bill.
Jiraiya took out his wallet with a bitter face, ready to pay and leave.
But what happened was that Kushina waved her hand, called the proprietress over, and skillfully asked her to write down the bill and settle it at the end of the month.
Only then did everyone remember that the man in front of them owned a whole street of property in the village.
She is a real rich woman.
"Master Danzo, what are your plans next?"
When he arrived outside the store, Jiraiya had a sad face, lamenting that he didn't even have as much money as his children.
Seeing that Danzo had no intention of leaving, Jiraiya forced a smile and asked.
This is a hint that it's time to leave.
Looking up at the time, seeing that it was still early, Danzo reached out and touched Minato's head.
"Danzo-sama?"
Minato was a little confused. Why did this Hokage assistant come up and touch his head?
[I don’t even have the nerve to touch it…]
Kushina looked at Danzo's hand jealously.
"The fact that we met today proves that we are destined to be together. Are you interested in practicing with me?"
Realizing that this was a great opportunity to gain Minato's favor, Danzo pretended to be profound and spoke.
"this......"
Minato looked at Jiraiya with some embarrassment.
Originally, he was planning to practice with Jiraiya today.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Danzo, but I already have an appointment with Lord Jiraiya."
Danzo looked at Minato in surprise. He didn't expect Minato to refuse so decisively.
But he soon felt relieved.
This is Minato's style.
This further strengthened Danzo's determination.
No matter what, he had to improve his favorability in Minato's heart.
"It's okay. I have nothing to do. We can practice with you together."
Is this also possible?
Shouldn't the Hokage's assistant be very busy?
Why did he insist on training with a little-known Genin like me?
Minato was puzzled.
"That's right, Minato, let me and Danzo-sama guide you together!"
Jiraiya quickly interrupted and said that he was very moved by Minato's rejection just now.
Although I don't know why Danzo insisted on guiding Minato in his training.
But the opportunity to receive guidance from such a strong man is very rare, and Minato's chakra attribute happens to be wind attribute.
It fits in very well with Danzo.
Once again I recalled the prophecy of the great toad immortal.
Could it be that Minato is the son of prophecy?
Thinking of this, Jiraiya hurriedly agreed on behalf of Minato.
