Chapter 32 Good calculation
Although Hiruzen was furious at the moment, he left the negotiation to Danzo.
But he was also afraid that this person would go in for the negotiations and end up destroying Sunagakure again.
He agreed with the two's suggestion that Nara Shikasui be his deputy.
Plus, with Qu Feng around, nothing should go wrong...right?
With an uneasy feeling, Hiruzen signed his name on the document.
Then he handed it to Danzo.
"Well, Danzo, you must remember not to force it."
Hiruzen instructed the other party again.
"Yes, yes, you should trust Lu Shui more and discuss things with him."
"That's right, you are the Hokage's assistant after all, so it's okay to let the people below do some things."
Danzo rolled his eyes helplessly as he saw that the three of them had unknowingly formed a united front.
No matter what they said, I agreed to everything.
Agreeing is one thing, but doing it yourself is another.
......
"By the way, Danzo, how is Hashirama-sama's cell research progressing?"
After explaining the precautions, Hiruzen suddenly asked Danzo about the research progress.
"This is the fifty-eighth potted plant."
Danzo shook his head and replied.
"Yeah......"
Hearing this, Hiruzen sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
“Fortunately, no volunteers were directly mobilized to participate in the experiment.”
The potted plants that Danzo mentioned were experimental mice injected with cell fluid.
Without exception, these mice exploded and died soon after being injected with Hashirama cells.
The corpse turned into a small tree.
These small trees were transplanted into pots by the people in the laboratory, based on the principle that it would be a waste if they were thrown away, and were distributed to the people at the root as potted plants.
There is also one on Danzo's desk.
He was also planning to give the latest one to Hiruzen's youngest son as a gift.
I don’t know if Asuma will like it.
but......
Hashirama's cells are indeed terrifying.
In the previous life, I didn't know that Orochimaru had always been hiding something from me.
As a result, he himself didn't know how the other party suppressed the activity of Hashirama's cells.
Although Orochimaru in this life did not hide anything, his progress was indeed slow.
Even though he had already combined it with Tobirama's cells, he also got the blood of the Uzumaki clan from Kushina in order to increase her favorability.
He even drew a few tubes of blood from Uchiha Qing.
Oh yeah, I forgot to draw Hinata's.
When we get back, we have to tell Orochimaru to draw a few tubes of blood from that Hinata Yong kid.
"In that case, keep going."
After giving Danzo some words of encouragement, Hiruzen decided to adjourn the meeting.
After hearing Hiruzen adjourn the meeting, the two advisors around him did not stay any longer.
Immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
Danzo was not in a hurry and continued to sit there without moving.
Because according to convention, Hiruzen would speak in the next second.
"Danzo, stay a moment. I have something to say."
As expected, Hiruzen's voice sounded just in time.
The two consultants are no longer surprised by this.
After every meeting, the two of them always have a private chat.
I heard that sometimes Hiruzen would send people to call Danzo to meet him in the middle of the night.
I don’t know what these two people are doing.
No wonder there are always rumors about these two people in the village.
Shaking their heads, the two consultants quickly left, leaving the two of them alone.
Before leaving, he even closed the door considerately.
As the advisors left, Hiruzen closed his eyes and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
The whole body completely relaxes.
"Anything else, Hiruzen."
Danzo asked Hiruzen in a nasty tone.
Hearing this, Hiruzen simply waved his hand, signaling the other party not to worry.
Then he reached into his arms and took out his precious pipe.
Have a few delicious bites.
Then he smacked his lips, looking very enjoyable.
Danzo was left alone there, breathing in the secondhand smoke.
Thank you so much, monkey.
I specifically drove them away and left me to breathe your secondhand smoke.
Covering his nose in disgust, Danzo glared at Hiruzen with an unhappy look on his face.
"Haha, to be honest, I'm so depressed."
Seeing Danzo's unfriendly look, Hiruzen smiled awkwardly, then reluctantly put away the pipe.
Be prepared to get to the point.
"Danzo, your Anbu training department has been running for a while, but why haven't you sent anyone to my place?"
what?
manpower?
Danzo felt deeply the shamelessness of the person in front of him.
You kid, you didn't even give me a penny, and you want me to give someone to you?
You are really like an old monkey drinking thin porridge - shameless and vulgar.
"I spent money to train these people, and since you didn't allocate funds, they will naturally stay with me and be used by me."
Giving Hiruzen a blank look, Danzo responded confidently.
"Really? But I remember that I only approved four classes for your Root Department, which means a staffing of 16 people."
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow and continued.
"But if you count Orochimaru and the others now, there are probably more than 40 people."
This kind of thing might even be treated as rebellion.
However, Danzo did not hear any murderous intent in Hiruzen's words.
This guy seems to have something to ask of me.
Danzo was quick to see through Hiruzen's true thoughts.
"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. I can't be scared by you."
Danzo, who was too lazy to beat around the bush with Hiruzen, said unhappily.
"Hahaha, the one who understands me is Danzo."
Watching Hiruzen's clumsy performance, Danzo didn't respond, but just put his hands behind his back and waited for his next words.
"The war is almost over, and I am going to cut your roots and ANBU training department."
Rubbing his hands together, Hiruzen stated his purpose.
"I'll have someone worry about the Anbu training department from now on, and you can handle your root yourself."
"From now on, our Anbu will not be subordinate to each other."
“You train your people, and I train mine.”
"I won't let you suffer any loss. I will expand your root organization to ten classes for you. How about that?"
Before Danzo could reply, Hiruzen added another sentence.
"Of course, I will only provide you with a budget, but I won't allocate funds to you."
At the beginning, because the war was tense and all the advisers were on the battlefield, Hiruzen did not allocate funds to Danzo in time.
Later, it was discovered that even without funding, this group of people were able to effectively manage the root causes.
Even the food standards are higher than here.
This made Hiruzen want to get something for free, no, to make the best use of it.
It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
And Danzo also understood what the other party meant.
This is the rhythm of using the system to get something for free!
Damn monkey, so calculating!
