After receiving Sarutobi Hiruzen's affirmation, Shimura Danzo's smile turned ferocious:
"Very good, Hiruzen, do you also see the darkness and strangeness hidden in this brat's heart?"
"He was afraid of me. I promised him to be my apprentice, but he refused!"
"This is not right. How could a brat from the Uchiha clan refuse an invitation from me, the Hokage, to assist him? He must have some unspeakable secret that he is afraid I will find out!"
Danzo Shimura looked as if he had mastered the matter, and his eyes would occasionally glance at Qingshui with great aggression.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, "How can you run into Konoha, a place as big as this? Everyone here belongs to me!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became darker and darker.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the roots that were knocked down by Qingshui. None of them were fatally injured. They were all knocked unconscious, and even breathing sounds could be heard between their nostrils.
Look at Qing Shui, he used secret techniques to resist your persecution, but he was still so measured in his actions and didn't have the heart to hurt the ninjas in the village...
Mastering explosive secrets means being dangerous to the village? What kind of logic is this!
Don’t you have one yourself?
You don't trust the outstanding juniors. Where is the will of fire in your heart, Danzo!
As for why Qingshui rejected you?
Of course, it’s because I, the Hokage, took care of the younger generations of the village and the descendants of my friends faster than you did. Is it your turn to put the blame on me?
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered and was about to walk towards Shimura Danzo, but Qingshui gently grabbed his sleeve.
Qingshui, who looked pale, shook his head slowly and said in a hoarse voice:
"Uncle Hiruzen, I think this is probably a misunderstanding. Assistant Danzo and you are both important high-ranking officials in Konoha. There is no need to conflict over the trivial matters of a ninja school student like me."
Immediately, Qing Shui forced a smile at Shimura Danzo:
"Assistant Danzo, if you are interested in Master Tobirama's ninjutsu, you can send someone to inform me and I will give you my grandfather's books..."
"I really like sharing ninjutsu with the ninjas in the village. Whether it's the Uchiha clan's fire escape technique or my favorite medical ninjutsu, I want more Konoha ninjas to learn it and make them stronger."
As he spoke, Qing Shui gathered chakra in his palms, just like the Thousand Hands:
"Asuma and I have made an appointment. Tomorrow we will study the similarities between chakra control and the Thousand Hands Magic Technique. We plan to write a paper on ninjutsu, which may allow more Konoha ninjas to enjoy this close combat technique."
"Uncle Hiruzen, if our research yields results, Asuma and I will have completed a mission..."
"We agreed that if we get a bonus, we'll go have a barbecue together..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing stagnated. No wonder Asuma has been reading the books on chakra control crazily recently, looking so thirsty for knowledge!
If Asuma doesn't see Qingshui tomorrow...
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Qingshui's shoulder distressedly and said softly:
"Go back and rest. Asuma will be waiting for you tomorrow, Qingshui."
Qing Shui nodded, and even said goodbye to Shimura Danzo, and walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
At this moment, even Danzo Shimura was stunned.
He couldn't tell whether Qingshui was a fool with too pure will of fire or a cunning Uchiha brat.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't give him much time to think.
After Qingshui was no longer on the scene, Uncle Hiruzen's character no longer needed to be maintained, and instead, the majestic Third Hokage appeared!
Chapter 59: Bloodline is still pure
Danzo Shimura stared at Qingshui's departing back, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He really likes Qingshui more and more.
He was almost kidnapped, are you still going to say good things for him?
This extremely stupid Uchiha, yet he possesses such a talent for combat, is just the right person to be brainwashed by Danzo Shimura and become the best blade for him to ascend to the position of Hokage!
But in a flash.
Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to him without saying a word and looked at him expressionlessly.
Danzo Shimura's heart trembled.
Although in terms of height and build, Shimura Danzo is a size bigger than Sarutobi Hiruzen...
However, considering his growth experience since childhood and his current status, the Assistant Hokage will never be able to hold his head up in front of the Hokage.
"Danzo, is there anything else you want to say?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone:
"In order to control Qing Shui, you mobilized the roots that protect the village to set up a barrier to block my perception. As the Hokage's assistant, are you so afraid that I, the Hokage, will see you?"
"How many things do you still have that I don't know? Hiding from me, hiding from the village, hiding from the Will of Fire that Master Tobirama taught us?"
Shimura Danzo frowned and retorted:
"Huruzen, I was only trying to prevent a disturbance in the village. As you can see, Uchiha Aomizu is not a ninja who follows the village's orders without compromise. He would even refuse orders from me, the Hokage's assistant."
"I still suggest that even though he is Jing's descendant, we still can't take him lightly!"
"Leave him to me. I promise you, Hiruzen, I will not roughly train him to be a tool of the Root, but will seriously train him to be the next Mirror..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered in his heart.
Do you want to cultivate Qingshui into the second Jing?
Do you mean that you are a great ninja like Tobirama-sama? Or do you mean that you are the Hokage of Konoha!
Is it your turn to cultivate Qingshui?
That's mine, mine! It's a ninja that only a Hokage like me can own!
then.
Sarutobi Hiruzen rudely interrupted Shimura Danzo's chatter and pointed at him sternly:
"Qingshui's whereabouts and future are directly controlled by me, the Hokage. It is not your turn as the Hokage's assistant to make decisions!"
"You used the Root to blind the perception of me, the Hokage, and attacked the village's genius ninja without authorization, causing him serious injuries..."
"In the past, when you blackmailed the ninjas of the Yamanaka and Aburame clans, you at least negotiated with them using language. As the Hokage, I can also help you appease them a little in the name of expanding the power of the Root and defending Konoha."
"Nowadays, you are becoming more and more arbitrary. You are such a bastard!"
"Danzo, you are too presumptuous!"
Shimura Danzo's eyes went dark.
In fact, he didn't hear what Sarutobi Hiruzen said next.
Just hearing "I am the Hokage" and "You are the Hokage's assistant" made his blood pressure start to rise.
That's it again!
always like this!
The title of Hokage Assistant only has two more words than Hokage, but it is an insurmountable chasm that cannot be overcome no matter how hard one tries!
All it took was a word from Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura would be powerless to resist, and he couldn't even keep his position.
This is the Hokage, the only one in Konoha...
"Why, Hiruzen?"
Shimura Danzo's eyes were full of anger, and he said viciously: "
You blame me for a brat from the Uchiha clan. Have you forgotten how Tobirama-sensei views the Uchiha clan?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered: "Danzo, this is why I am the Hokage."
"The reason why Master Tobirama was able to train a ninja like Jing was not because of brainwashing and curse seals in the Root, but because of the will of fire that unites people's hearts."
"The roots are buried in the darkness. Do what you should do and don't try to compete with the leaves for nutrients."
Shimura Danzo's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
He doesn't want to be a root for life, he wants to climb to the top step by step and become a shining leaf!
But Sarutobi Hiruzen was not afraid of his gaze, and said something that made his heart palpitate:
"You and Orochimaru are secretly conducting human experiments. Do you think I don't know?"
"Danzo, I've been waiting for you to confess to me, but now it seems that you just want to hide it from me..."
Shimura Danzo's dangerous gaze suddenly turned into suspicion.
Sarutobi Hiruzen actually knows his roots so well!
It's only been a few days, and his Jia has just awakened his Wood Release talent for a few days, and Sarutobi Hiruzen has come to him?
For a time, Danzo Shimura no longer even trusted the Root.
The root must have been infiltrated by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he must have his hidden agents among them!
"I will relieve you of your duties as Hokage's assistant and confine you to your home for three months to reflect on your actions, Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Danzo his orders cruelly and waved his hand.
In an instant, countless black shadows appeared from all directions, half-kneeling in front of the Hokage.
The Hokage is directly under the Anbu!
And one of the strongest fighters in Konoha today, Hatake Sakumo.
"Shuomao, you lead the team and thoroughly investigate the roots."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "Members of the Root must also be scanned from inside to outside. Don't worry if you encounter Orochimaru."
"The darkness in the village cannot grow without restraint."
Shimura Danzo immediately clenched his teeth.
This would not only result in the loss of a Wood Release Ninja, but his very roots might also be severely damaged!
Hatake Sakumo nodded, without even looking at Shimura Danzo, and turned and left.
"Hatake Sakumo..."
