Сhapter 21: Samurai Bridge.

- And now, guys, we're stopping together. - Danzo said in a calm tone.

I obey the order, everyone stopped moving, and the coachman stopped the horse. No one challenged his decision.

Danzo did not quickly get off the cart, after which he looked around at everyone, stopping at the guilty Eagle, who was already awaiting punishment.

- We get up lying down and do push-ups 50 times, at my expense. - Danzo said, startling the Eagle.

- But I...

Without any words, Danzo hit the ground with his cane so that small cracks spread across it.

Understanding the hint, the Eagle reluctantly got up and began to do push-ups.

* KNOCK!*

The Eagle, in addition to the bruise from Danzo's first blow, had a new mark on his back left by his cane.

- I said. UNDER. MINE. The BILL. - Danzo spoke clearly, highlighting each word, but without raising his volume. - And why are you standing and watching? Your friend is doing push-ups, so support him.

Now everyone, including Ryu and Hyun, got into a ready position for push-ups.

- Ich-Ni. San-Xi. Go-Re. - Danzo began to count in a clear beat, which everyone followed.

Here, on the seventh count, a cane fell to one "lucky", right on the fifth point. This lucky one turned out to be a Zebra, Akimichi.

- We keep the body straight, we don't stick out the ass, we don't lower it. - Danzo instructed.

When Zebra recovered, the push-up count continued.

However, already on the tenth time, the Eagle could not stand it and fell to the ground.

- We continue to stand on our hands and lag behind the schedule until the Eagle gets up. - Danzo said sharply.

Not wanting to expose his teammates, the Eagle got up with difficulty and continued to do push-ups, although doing it much slower, which is why the speed of Danzo's account also decreased.

On the twentieth count, when the Eagle was about to faint, Danzo said:

- Okay, that's enough for you. We can't keep the others waiting for us, so we're moving on as fast as possible.

The exhausted Eagle fell and could no longer get up, which is why his comrades from the fifth team had to lift him up and put him on bags.

The rest of the road passed in complete silence, only occasionally disturbed by the sounds of nature. About a day later, the team drove through the Samurai Bridge. The same bridge where Danzo died in the anime.

Danzo himself could not resist and instead of lying down, he curiously examined the surroundings, just in case, clarifying whether there were even the slightest signs of a Chakra nearby.

Ryu Yamanaka and Hyuga, whose mask was a Tiger, did not quite understand Danzo's similar behavior, but they unquestioningly followed the order and reported that only a kilometer away from them there was a small group of three people without signs of a Chakra.

A little later, a group under the command of Danzo calmly drove past these three people, who turned out to be completely ordinary travelers returning home after paying taxes to the capital.

In this silence, Danzo felt the peace he had forgotten and relieved all the stress accumulated during his stay in this world.

"Eh, before phones and technology, I still need to be able to live so much... Well, it's like Homura and Koharu were alive in Boruto."
