Chapter 76 Devious Mind

Konoha.

Hokage Building, Hokage Office.

"Flying Raijin… huh… am I truly witnessing his second coming?"

Spoke out Sarutobi in a nostalgic tone, immense emotion all over his face.

At his words Kazuki showed a slightly confused look for a second though it quickly dawned on him what Sarutobi meant and it was something he had expected to happen the day he gotten Tobirama's Template.

Tap

Sarutobi spotted the confused look that kazuki showed for a moment and exhaling out another puff, stood up from his seat and walked to the window; gazing at the second stone face carved into the hokage mountain.

"I don't know if you have been told about this before and how many may have noticed but your resemblance to lord second is striking"

"The silver hair that shimmered on the battlefield and put fear in the enemy's heart, water release of a class that only lord second once showed, smart enough to reverse engineer his jutsu and now even Flying Raijin… I can't help but think about him when I look at you"

Poured Sarutobi his honest thoughts out with a smile on his face, his eyes on the stone face of second hokage all the time.

Your legacy lives Sensei… even after death you are still protecting the village Said Sarutobi inwardly.

"I'm honored if that's how people feel"

What else could Kazuki say in response to Sarutobi aside from this.

"An Anbu will deliver the jutsu to you later; I hope you are able to protect the village with it just like lord second did"

Said Sarutobi while turning around to look at him, agreeing with his request and also stating his own hopes for him.

"I will Lord Third but while I do plan to master flying raijin; the real reason I requested it was for Namikaze Minato."

"He is excellent in shunsin no jutsu(Instantaneous movement) and is equally capable in terms of sensory abilities; so I believe he is even more suited then me for this jutsu."

"Oh, you think so highly of him?"

Showed Sarutobi a surprise face at Kazuki's words for Minato; while Minato was truly talented and even seemed to have fought a jonin during the war but due to Kazuki's appearance, he was completely overshadowed.

Compared to Kazuki, Sarutobi found Minato ordinary.

"Yes and I would even say as much as this: if given proper training, within a year or two, he would become someone who even us would have to take seriously in a spar."

Kazuki's words shocked Sarutobi for real this time; showing an expression of extreme disbelief and surprise.

"Ok, you can teach him as well but if the jutsu gets leaked, you are responsible for it."

"Thank You, Lord Third!"

Thanked Kazuki in a sincere tone and next moment bowing a little stepped out of the office.

Thup!

The moment the door was shut, the elders completely ignoring the death stare that Sarutobi had given them earlier spoke up in a tone of urgency.

"Hiruzen, what merit does that brat minato has to be granted a jutsu as special as flying raijin? We have no problem with kazuki learning it as he had earned it but granting it to minato is unfair to other shinobi!"

Said Koharu with a stressed look on her face, this time she wasn't being biased or anything and was asking him to answer a genuine concern.

"Consider this an apology for the trial and an investment I made for a better future of the village."

Saying that, Sarutobi sat back on the seat and began to go through the documents placed on the table, ignoring the angry elders.

Root Headquarters.

In a room shrouded in darkness, the only light source was a candle that illuminated half the face of a man who sat on a tatami with a cup of steaming green tea placed before him.

The man had his eye closed and had a thoughtful look on his face, from time to time picking up the cup to take a sip and putting it back.

The disappearance of senju nawaki would create a chaos that would engulf the whole village; Tsunade would turn the village upside down

Orochimaru and Kazuki Aoyama are pretty close to him as well; I need to come up with a fool proof plan to silently capture him cause if found out even Sarutobi won't be able to save me that is if he doesn't kill me himself after learning about it

The upcoming chunin exams may be a way for me; the plan must close every possible way of me being found out and also ensures his successful capture, if it can be proved that he is dead it would be the best

Danzo alone in the room was actually busy devising cruel plans to capture senju nawaki, his devious mind working at a speed of light to make a fool proof plan.
