Chapter 178 Distinguished Guest
"We're back, Kushina."
In the evening, Minato returned home with a sleepy Naruto.
As soon as he opened the door, Naruto heard noisy discussions.
"You're back, Minato-sensei."
Just as Minato was changing his shoes, a silver-haired man appeared in front of them.
"Uncle Kakashi."
Seeing the person coming, Naruto jumped over happily.
"Uncle..."
Kakashi's eyes trembled as he was called uncle.
"If Uncle Kakashi is here, then Uncle Obito is also——"
Before Naruto could finish his words, Uchiha Obito suddenly appeared and pressed his hand hard on Naruto's head.
"Naruto-chan, you're saying bad things about me again!"
"It hurts, it hurts, Dad, please save me!"
Looking at the people laughing and playing, Minato showed a doting smile.
As they walked into the house with smiles on their faces, familiar faces appeared in front of Naruto.
"Aunt Yuyuri, Aunt Yekura, Uncle Ryoma, Uncle Nawaki..."
"Tsk, you naughty Naruto, you have to call me sister!"
Ringo Yuyuri, who was called auntie, rushed towards Naruto with a ferocious face.
"Haha, stop tickling me, Yu Yuli, sister! I was wrong!"
After being severely beaten, Naruto raised his hands in surrender.
"Humph, young people nowadays."
With a cold snort, everyone fell silent and turned their eyes to the man sitting in the first seat.
"Grandpa Danzo."
Looking at the old man with narrowed eyes and an indifferent expression, Naruto walked up to him obediently and held his fingers with his little hand.
"You're enrolled today?"
Feeling the warmth from his fingers, Danzo still maintained his signature indifferent expression.
"Yes."
In response to Danzo's questions, Naruto answered them obediently.
"Study hard and don't bring disgrace upon your father's reputation."
Under Naruto's pitiful gaze, Danzo finally couldn't hold it back and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He reached out and rubbed the other person's little head.
Seeing Danzo smile, the others continued their conversation.
In the battle of Falling Rock Plains, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen defeated Ōnoki and captured his son Kouto alive, but did not take the next step.
Instead, he sent envoys to prepare for peace talks with the other side.
In the end, Ōnoki agreed to the treaty proposed by Konoha Village.
Also became a member of the Ninja Alliance.
The Third Ninja World War was officially declared over.
The first thing Sarutobi Hiruzen did after the war was to build up momentum for his disciple Jiraiya.
Successfully helped the other party ascend to the throne of Hokage.
At the same time, he proposed to carve Danzo's portrait on Shadow Rock to highlight the outstanding contribution of his old friend in the war.
However, this proposal was quickly rejected by Danzo himself.
Knowing Hiruzen's intentions, he handed over the Root affairs to Orochimaru directly, and then went to the Land of Whirlpools for vacation with his close associates such as Yegura and Ringo Ayuri.
I've been busy for two lifetimes, can't I enjoy myself?
The backbone of Konoha, such as Hatake Sakumo and the three ninjas, are still alive, and there are no Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu who are secretly causing trouble. Danzo believes that the current Konoha has escaped from the weakness of the previous life and there is no need for him to take action anymore.
The facts were just as Danzo had expected. With the presence of ninja scientists and Kakuzu's financial support, the technological strength of Konoha Village was quickly raised to the level of the Seventh Generation's period, or even higher.
Even the roots have changed from a military group of 40 people to a huge underground organization composed of many departments, including the scientific research department, armed department, transportation department, field department, and testing department.
As for whether this power can defeat Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Momoshiki...
That depends on the ability of future generations.
"Come on, Shisui, play two rounds with me."
Calling over Shisui who was standing beside him, Minato immediately took out the shogi set from home and placed it on the table in the living room upon hearing the voice.
"grandfather!"
Before the two started fighting, a handsome black-haired boy, accompanied by Sai, pushed the door open and ran straight towards Danzo.
"It's Bai, how is it, is anyone bullying you at school?"
Looking at Bai who was squatting beside him with an obedient look on his face, Danzo showed a smile that was much softer than when he looked at Naruto.
This is the child I raised myself. He is different from other people's children like Naruto.
"No, my classmates are all very nice to me. They are all very nice people."
Shaking his head, Bai smiled happily.
"Well, that's good. Remember, if someone bullies you, go find Orochimaru and he will help you deal with these things."
Even though Bai said this, Danzo was still a little worried.
He also gave a few more specific instructions.
Students: Ah, this.
"Danzo-sama..."
Just as Shiro stood up and rubbed Danzo's shoulders, a new guest arrived at the Uzumaki residence.
"Oh, it's Yugao, come on, let your sister touch it!"
When Ringo Yuuri saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and he ran straight towards the other person.
"Ah, Yuuri, why are you here too?"
Seeing Ringo Ayuri running towards him, Yugao screamed and could no longer maintain the image of a thin and handsome man, and he ran away as fast as he could.
Behind Yugao, the Nagato couple walked in with Uzumaki Karing.
"Master Danzo, Yahiko and Konan are in the Land of Rain and cannot come for the time being, but they said that you are welcome to visit the Hidden Rain Village."
Looking at Danzo with an apologetic look on his face, Nagato explained in a low voice.
"It's ok."
Shaking his head, Danzo didn't mind.
"How is the development of your Rinnegan going?"
"According to the records left by Madara, I have basically mastered how to use it."
"Well then, checkmate, Shisui, you lose."
By taking a picture of the shogi, Danzo won the game.
"As expected of you, Master Danzo. After all these years, your level is still far beyond my reach."
Shisui rearranged the layout with a smile on his face.
"Haha, it's really lively."
As Shisui placed the flags, Orochimaru's signature hoarse voice rang out.
"Orochimaru, you are young again."
Danzo looked at Orochimaru, who still had a youthful face, and realized that he was still immersed in the research of immortality.
However, with the ties between the village and the Root, I believe Orochimaru will not go too far.
"This is all thanks to the template you brought from the Land of Hot Springs. After some minor changes, I was able to successfully see the Evil God."
Ever since learning about the existence of the Otsutsuki from Danzo, Orochimaru has begun to study how to deal with them.
At the same time, he also realized that if he only relied on his own lifespan, he might not be able to find a way to completely destroy the opponent before the end.
To this end, Orochimaru began to look through the "Blood of Death" seized by Danzo in the Land of Hot Springs.
He actually found some clues.
