As night fell, Shuichi Hoshita dragged his tired body back home.
Today, there was not much time, so he only made 3 detonating talismans and earned 600 taels.
If it was just for eating, this would be enough for him to eat 25 meals.
If it was an ordinary person, it should be enough for 100 meals.
Since he learned to make detonating talismans, including today's, he has earned 4,000 taels.
"I'll work hard in the last four days, and then I can make a big purchase and buy more ninja tools."
Shuichi Hoshita was secretly planning, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he opened the door and returned home.
"Who?"
Shuichi Hoshita shouted in a low voice, and then he was about to retreat and escape.
But as soon as he moved his body, a terrible force pressed on his shoulders, making him unable to move.
There was a strong man behind him.
"Don't be afraid, we are the Root, and Master Danzo wants to see you!"
The fox-masked figure in front of the entrance spoke.
Hideichi Hoshita's heart sank, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they didn't want to kill him.
The hand on his shoulder had been loosened, and Shuichi Hoshita stepped forward.
Why did Danzo look for him?
Because of the dean, Pharmacist Nono?
Or because of himself?
Has he been under surveillance for a long time?
How should he respond?
Ignorant? Or genius?
In a flash, questions flashed through Shuichi Hoshita's mind.
And across the entrance, he also saw Danzo sitting on the sofa in his living room.
His right eye was covered by a bandage, but his right hand was obviously still normal, without a bandage.
"Master Danzo!"
Hideichi Hoshita bowed calmly.
Danzo looked at Shuichi Hoshita with admiration in his eyes, and said: "You are very good. Ninja school is no longer suitable for you. The Root is where you belong. It can tap your potential, let your talent be brought into play, and better serve Konoha and become a hero who protects Konoha!"
Shuiichi Hoshita bowed again: "Thank you very much for your appreciation, Danzo-sama."
"If the Third Hokage allows, I am very willing to serve Danzo-sama and become a member of the Root. After all, the elite level of the Root is second to none in Konoha."
Danzo's eyes condensed: "It seems that Yakushi Nono has taught you a lot of things."
"You are very smart!"
"No You don't have to worry about Hiruzen, the Root is also part of the Anbu."
Hoshita Shuichi still lowered his head and said respectfully: "Danzo-sama, I am now a student of the Ninja School, and the Third Hokage is the principal, so I belong to the Third Hokage's student."
"I must get the consent and permission of the Hokage to graduate from the Ninja School in advance, and then enter the Root to serve you, Danzo-sama."
"How dare you!"
"Little brat, you dare to refuse Danzo-sama!"
A loud shout suddenly exploded, and Hoshita Shuichi felt a terrible murderous aura enveloping his whole body, his body hair stood up involuntarily, and a sense of fear arose from the bottom of his heart.
For the first time, he felt that murderous aura was a real thing, and it could cause a terrifying deterrent to the enemy.
Cold sweat broke out on his back, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead unconsciously.
Hideichi Hoshita bit his tongue and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Danzo-sama, if I agree to serve you without the permission of the Third Hokage, it is equivalent to betraying the Third Hokage."
"If I can betray the Third Hokage today, then I can naturally betray you, Danzo-sama in the future."
"I don't think this is your original intention."
Danzo stared at Hideichi Hoshita and admired him more and more.
At this age, he can still be so organized and so calm in such a situation. In the past, I am afraid that only Orochimaru could be compared.
He wanted to get Hideichi Hoshita more and more in his heart.
"Very good!"
Danzo slowly stood up and walked past Shuichi Hoshita: "To serve me is to serve Hiruzen."
"And your dean, Yakushi Nono, is also a member of the Root. You belong to the Root by nature."
"So Hiruzen will not stop it."
Danzo paused and walked to the door: "Besides, you don't want your dean, Yakushi Nono, to be in trouble, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo had already left the house.
Then the two Root ninjas in the room disappeared silently.
The terrible murderous aura receded like a tide, and Shuichi Hoshita could not help but breathe heavily.
Danzo was so shameless that he bullied a child like him.
And today's scene was not what he expected.
Danzo appeared at this time, probably because he had made great progress during the summer vacation.
What to do?
Wipe the sweat off his face, Shuuichi Hoshita closes the door and goes to the bathroom.
Wash.
Cook to fill his stomach.
Shuuichi Hoshita has almost finished thinking.
After cleaning up the dishes, he immediately went out.
Regardless of whether the Root is still staring at him, Shuuichi Hoshita has been running to the bustling streets of Konoha.
Soon he found Tsunade in a izakaya, and next to Tsunade was Shizune.
Fortunately, it was still early and Tsunade was not drunk yet.
"Shuuichi!"
Shizune was surprised to see Shuuichi Hoshita.
"Shizune!"
Shuuichi Hoshita greeted with a smile, and came to the table and bowed to Tsunade: "Hello, Tsunade-sama, I am Shuuichi Hoshita."
Tsunade raised her eyes and glanced at Shuuichi Hoshita: "Kid, I know you, Shizune said you are a genius."
Shizune next to her blushed immediately.
Hashita Hideichi smiled at Shizune, and then said to Tsunade: "Tsunade-sama, I would like to ask you to take me to see the Third Hokage."
"Hmm?"
Tsunade became a little interested: "Why?"
Hashita Hideichi told the whole story: "Just now, the leader of the Root, Danzo, broke into my house and invited me to join the Root."
"What?"
Shizune exclaimed: "Hideichi you..."
"Tsunade-sama..."
Before she finished, Tsunade gave Shizune a sidelong look, blocking the latter's words.
Tsunade's eyes showed disgust, but she smiled and said: "Danzo is the second most powerful person in Konoha, and the Root is also very powerful!"
Hoshita Hideichi said righteously: "But I am a student of the Ninja School, and the Third Hokage is the principal of the Ninja School, so I am the student of the Third Hokage."
Tsunade sneered: "So you are still my junior brother?"
Hoshita Hideichi immediately climbed up the pole: "If you don't mind, Tsunade-sama, of course I am."
Tsunade was speechless, took a sip of wine and snorted, saying: "You also said that you are a student of the Ninja School. If you don't want to, Danzo dare not do anything to you."
"Don't worry, Danzo will grab you, and the old man will never let you go."
Hoshita Hideichi hurriedly said: "But Danzo threatened me with the orphanage and the dean, Yakushi Nono."
Tsunade paused with her hand holding the wine glass, and her mood suddenly became extremely bad.
She didn't see the disgusting things that Danzo did, but it was like a pile of shit that was brought to her eyes, and she was too disgusted to drink it.
Putting down the wine glass, Tsunade finally looked serious.
And Shizune next to her looked at Shuichi Hoshita with great concern, and hesitated to say something to Tsunade several times.
Looking at Shuichi Hoshita, Tsunade asked: "What are you going to do when you see the old man?"
Shuichi Hoshita blinked: "Tsunade-sama, I am still a first-year student in the Ninja School, not yet 6 years old."
"My parents died for Konoha, so the third generation, who is the Hokage and the principal of the Ninja School, is my parent."
"Now I'm being bullied, shouldn't I complain to my parents?"
"And shouldn't the third generation Hokage make the decision for me?"
What is the biggest trick of a child?
Complain!
Complain to the parents!
