Chapter 38: Confrontation with Danzo

Danzo's face twisted. Kazuki's words had struck him to the core.

Although normally no one dared to tell him that, deep down, Danzo knew it was true…

Except for the jonin of Konoha, most of the common chunin and genin only knew his name, but did not know what he looked like.

There was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to hide in the Root base most of the time, or to carry out secret missions?

The Root doesn't show its face.

"Evil Uchiha kid, although the words are unpleasant, I really have to pay attention to my personal image, and I should find a way to let these ninja school children know my existence..."

Danzo muttered in his mind and threw a certificate to Kazuki.

On the certificate, there is a special identification method of Konoha, which proves his identity.

"Little brat, don't waste the opportunity I gave you..."

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "I will work hard to train you and accept you as my disciple!"

After that, Shimura Danzo raised his head and waited for Kazuki's response.

This is the ultimate move he came up with!

With his position as assistant to the Hokage, wouldn't it be easy to win over this Uchiha with a strong Will of Fire to his cause?

After that, as long as he takes down Hatake Sakumo, and then uses Kazuki as a springboard, the entire Uchiha clan will become a source of power to support him...

In all of Konoha, who could compete with him, Shimura Danzo, for the position of the Fourth Hokage?

"This is really weird, Kazuki brat..." Senju Tobirama couldn't hold it anymore. "First the monkey's son asks you to be his partner, then the monkey himself asks you to switch teams, and now Danzo comes to ask you to be his disciple?"

"Did you cast a genjutsu on me to show me these absurd scenes and torture me?"

Kazuki ignored Tobirama and looked at Shimura Danzo who was waiting for his response, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

It must be said that, due to the turbulence caused by the butterfly named Kazuki, the treatment and sincerity that Shimura Danzo offered this time were unexpectedly good…

If it weren't for the matter between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Asuma...

Kazuki might really consider agreeing to Shimura Danzo and playing with him slowly in the root.

It's a pity.

Shimura Danzo was one step late again.

This time, it was not Hiruzen who stepped forward, but his son Asuma, who surpassed him by one step…

With the conditions he offered, even if Kazuki thought there was something fishy, Shimura Danzo didn't think Kazuki would refuse.

After all, it was a chance to become the disciple of the Hokage's assistant!

This was the ticket to the top of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan knew the value of it best...

Not just the Uchiha clan, but many shinobi clans of Konoha would do anything, even lurk in the shadows and plot anything to get it, but not all of them succeeded.

Shimura Danzo's performance really surprised Kazuki.

He thought that with Shimura Danzo's level of trust, he would probably talk nonsense when he found him, and then commanded him to join the root, but he didn't expect that he really showed his sincerity.

However, compared to Hiruzen, Danzo's priority was always one step behind…

Both Tobirama and Kazuki think so about this.

"Assistant Danzo, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in becoming your disciple." Kazuki smiled apologetically. "As for joining the Root, it's even more so."

Shimura Danzo's expression suddenly became ferocious. He was rejected by Kazuki after trying hard to recruit him. He felt extremely humiliated!

[Detecting that Shimura Danzo has generated a strong feeling of anger towards the host. The target has been linked.]

Kazuki chuckled. Why is this guy so anxious...

He had just politely declined, why get so upset?

"Uchiha Kazuki, I am not asking for your opinion but conveying the order and the will of the village!" Shimura Danzo said gloomily: "I am the assistant of the Hokage. What I say to you is the order that the Konoha shinobi must execute!"

"Come back to the root with me now!"

"Do you want to resist the order of the village and become a traitor of Konoha?"

Kazuki looked at Shimura Danzo speechlessly. Isn't this style of behavior too domineering?

Do you really think you are the domineering president of Konoha? You are just a glove, there are people above you!

Not only someone above him in the village, but inside Kazuki there was also someone Danzo couldn't stand up to, watching him intently…

"Tobirama, is this the student you taught?"

"No wonder you got a zero for the Will of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to criticize you... Look at Shimura Danzo from the inside out, where is the shadow of the Will of Fire?"

"I heard that Shimura Danzo takes you as his goal and idol and imitates your style of doing things. Today, it seems that the rumors are probably true..."

Senju Tobirama put on a painful mask in the midst of Kazuki's questioning.

He knew that Danzo had admired him since he was little, trying to imitate his way of speaking and acting in everything. He had even inherited his attitude towards the Uchiha clan, considering it a pride.

"No... I never treated the Uchiha clan this way. What the hell has this boy learned?"

Senju Tobirama was stunned. As the Hokage's assistant, he went to abduct a ninja school student in the middle of the night, and he had to use the big hat of the village's high-level order. What kind of political genius is this!

Especially looking at Shimura Danzo's skilled appearance, it is not the first time he has done this.

This is because he encountered Kazuki...

But if he had been another ordinary genius from the ninja school, no matter how talented and intelligent he was, how could he resist the intimidation of a Hokage assistant?

What happened to those children who were kidnapped by the root?

"Danzo, what are you doing? What else did you do?"

Tobirama's mind wandered, having no energy to respond to Kazuki's taunts, feeling a suffocating pressure on his chest.

Just as Kazuki had pointed out, from any angle, Danzo's actions were completely disconnected from the will of fire.

He looks like a jerk who uses his power and status to oppress and bully others...

"Assistant Danzo, I will not become a traitor…" Kazuki shook his head.

Danzo smirked, gesturing for Kazuki to follow, but Kazuki continued in a mocking tone: "I haven't even graduated yet, I'm not a ninja yet, how could I become a missing-nin?"

"I suggest you let me check your brain first, don't you feel like something is wrong?"

"You brat!" Danzo's face darkened, and with a wave of his hand he ordered: "Capture Uchiha Kazuki!"

In an instant, from every corner of the street, lampposts and rooftops, masked shadows emerged.

Immediately, a dark grey barrier rose, merging with the night and sealing off the surrounding area.

Kazuki clapped his hands slowly. "Too awesome, really awesome."

"Assistant Danzo, you not only personally found a student from the Ninja School, but also brought a team from the Root..."

"The resources of Konoha can be squandered by you like this, the future of the village is really worrying..."

Shimura Danzo's face became more and more gloomy.

He had already thought about it. After Kazuki was captured by him and brought back to the Root, he must severely deal with this slick kid!

The Root members unsheathed their swords, surrounding Kazuki on all sides, their gazes cold and emotionless behind their masks.

"Tobirama, you said it, didn't you?" Kazuki did not rush to confront the root attackers; instead, he continued talking to Tobirama. "For Konoha, you are willing to lend me your power..."

"Now, I'm being unfairly attacked by your student. Don't you think you should do something about it?"

Tobirama snorted coldly, adopting a strong stance although with some hesitation in his voice. "If I could punish Danzo personally, I would have done it long ago!"

"I am sealed in your body. Even if I want to help, I can't do anything."

"You promised not to betray my trust, and I will not fail you. First, eliminate these members at the root. If Danzo attacks you directly later, I will teach you how to deal with it..."

Kazuki chuckled. "Then wait a while, don't resist me borrowing your power, this requires you to cooperate with me very much..."

"I want to experience… how far the Second Hokage's power can go."

Senju Tobirama was stunned. He didn't understand what Kazuki meant, but he nodded.

At the same time, after hearing Danzo's order, the Root members quickly launched themselves towards Kazuki, aiming their swords at his vital points.

If it weren't in the village, they would need a certain degree of concealment, otherwise these ruthless machines of the Root would have started using powerful ninjutsu long ago...

Kazuki ignored the approaching root attackers and instead kept his gaze fixed on Danzo, who was coldly watching him from a distance. Then, he slowly clasped his hands together…
