Chapter 61Greedy Danzo

Konoha

At the stream southwest of the village,

"Don't be hasty!!"Focus the chakra on your soles."

Near the stream, Jiraiya sat as he guided Naruto to walk on water, but the latter was clumsy and made mistakes.

"Pervy Sage, please stop yelling!!I'm trying to concentrate! "

Naruto shouted at Jiraiya, a little annoyed, before focusing on his training.

"Don't you think it's time you should introduce yourself, kid?"

Seeing Naruto busy, Jiraiya turned his head to the left and asked the figure with a blindfold on his face, sitting beside him.

"Hmm~ Gojo Satoru"

By the way, Old Man, you look pretty eager to teach him... is it really your first team meeting with Naruto?"

Gojo causally reported his name before looking at him with a curious look in his eyes under the blindfold, as his behavior towards Naruto was not like a stranger at all.

"Ha-ha!!, this kid reminds me a lot of my late student, The Fourth Hokage, that's all."

Jiraiya laughed as he waved his hands, as if not bothered by his question at all.

"This kid... his observation skills are terrifying."

Thought Jiraiya in his heart as the question of Gojo really caught him off guard.

"Hmm, is that so?"

Hearing his response, Gojo smirked as he looked at Naruto practicing before him with even more interest than before.

Naruto reminding Jiraiya of the Fourth Hokage could never be only because of Nine Tails; there had to be something else.

"Hey!! Pervy Sage, I can't control my chakra clearly today. "

At this moment, Naruto walked up to Jiraiya and complained that since the day he returned from the Death Forest, his chakra had been unstable.

"Huh?"

Hearing his words, Jiraiya looked at Naruto carefully and seemed to guess something as he lifted his orange jacket.

"Hey, what are you doing, Pervy Sage?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya with dead serious eyes, like he was looking at the lowest non-recyclable garbage.

"Ha... ha... stop it!"

Naruto began to laugh. Jiraiya ignored his words as he tickled his stomach.

"Oh!"

Some interest appeared in the eyes of Gojo as a black pattern appeared on the stomach of Naruto, as he understood immediately what it was.

"So that's how it is."

Jiraiya, gazing at the seal before him, immediately understood what caused the chakra of Naruto to be stable, but just as he was about to fix it, he looked at Gojo, a bit hesitant.

"No need to hide from me... I already know about it. "

Sensing his gaze, Gojo replied casually as Jiraiya didn't care anymore and, around his fingertips, blue chakra appeared as the next moment he tapped the seal of Naruto.

Aghh!

Naruto let out a small groan before it went away as he looked at Jiraiya with confusion as he couldn't understand what just happened now.

"Haha!! Don't worry, let me teach you an awesome Jutsu! "

Jiraiya laughed, ignoring his questionable gaze, and took out a scroll as the attention of Naruto was quickly shifted to it.

Gojo also looked curiously at the scroll, wondering what Jutsu this guy would teach Naruto, as he still didn't know much about this world.

While Gojo was busy watching Jiraiya teach Naruto at an underground hidden base in Konoha, something interesting was happening.

Root Base

"You dare appear before me!!It seems Orochimaru has started to take me lightly."

Kabuto, wearing a cloak, stood quiet in his place as around him were numerous figures wearing masks.

Before Kabuto stood an old man with a cross mark on his chin and holding a wooden stick in his left hand.

"This is just a shadow clone, Danzo-Sama, and I'm here to deliver some interesting news. It might benefit you."

Kabuto wasn't afraid as he spoke while pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Leave us alone."

Hearing his words, Danzo squinted his only visible eye, as if thinking about something, before he waved his hand.

"Whoosh!!"

Everyone around them immediately dispersed, leaving Kabuto and Danzo alone in the quiet, dark surroundings.

Tap...

"Go on..."

Lightly tapping the ground with the wooden stick in his left hand, Danzo urged Kabuto to speak what he had in his mind.

Seeing the impatient Danzo, Kabuto didn't delay any longer as he started conveying everything that Orochimaru wanted him to Danzo.

"A Genin easily escaped from the hands of Orochimaru. You should know the consequences of lying to me."

Danzo was happy when he heard that Orochimaru planned to kill Sarutobi, and he immediately agreed to provide secret help.

But what he said about Gojo made him confused, as he couldn't believe a Genin could escape easily from the hands of Orochimaru.

"According to Orochimaru-Sama, Satoru has awakened some kind of special eye, which he hides under a blindfold."

"A special eye?"

A look of greed flashed in the eyes of Danzo, hearing about the possible special eyes of Gojo.

"Why are you telling me this?"

But even if he was greedy, Danzo wasn't a fool, as he couldn't believe Orochimaru would tell him such information for free.

"He needed some more Hashirama cells for experimentation. He's more curious about them than the eyes of Satoru."

spoke Kabuto, as he naturally had prepared an excuse to fool Danzo, as Danzo would get suspicious if such information was given for free.

Hearing his words, Danzo didn't doubt anymore as he waved his hand and a shadow flashed as a figure with orange hair appeared before him.

"Fu, gather all the information you can about Gojo Satoru."

said Danzo to Fu, who nodded and vanished, leaving Danzo with eyes full of anticipation, knowing that it wouldn't be long before the eyes of Gojo would be his.

{AN:- I'm closing the P@treon for Gojo Satoru as I want to focus completely on Aokiji Yuki, but I will update this book occasionally}
