Ch. 86. Sandaime and Danzo each have their own plans. [1]

Walking on the street, Mizuki's expression remained as usual.

　　But in his heart, he was already filled with anger:

- "He even resorted to such despicable methods."

　　It wouldn't be a big deal that Ayame made the mistake of vinegar and soy sauce. Just shouting a few words with his hands, other customers in the store didn't care at all.

　　As long as we are human, we will make mistakes sometimes.

　　Others couldn't detect anything unusual, so who would have thought that someone would be murdered in their own village?

　　But Mizuki is different. He is a transmigrator, and Sandaime has always wanted to kill him, which makes him very vigilant.

　　He will not ignore any disturbance, nor dare to ignore it.

　　Because if there is a slight mistake, you may die.

　　Sensing something was wrong, Mizuki did not make a big show of it, but quietly started [Tai Chi]. A mouse happened to pass by on the beam above his head, and was knocked down by the force of the fist, and fell into the bowl.

　　Immediately afterwards, Mizuki used echolocation to "watch" the mouse.

　　The rat escaped outside the house and ran into the sewer. It began to stagger when walking, and then its mouth and nose began to bleed, and it died.

　　It took less than 10 seconds before and after, you can imagine how poisonous the poison was in that noodles.

　　Mizuki:

- "How vicious!"

He was filled with fear just thinking about it.

　　It's almost the end.

　　Mizuki:

- "Brother Jerry, you can go in peace. I will avenge you personally."

A cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

　　He has made up his mind to kill Sandaime with his own hands.

　　In the days that followed, Mizuki became more cautious, eating and drinking carefully, and kept echolocation on.

　　I didn't even dare to sleep deeply, for fear of lying on the bed one night and lying on the couch the next morning.

　　It's torture, but there's nothing you can do about it, you'll get caught if you're not careful.

　　He has encountered poisoning in food and soup several times. Those guys disguised themselves in various ways, sneaked into the kitchen, and poisoned people while the food was being served.

　　If Mizuki's echolocation hadn't been turned on, he wouldn't have been poisoned so many times.

　　Seeing that eating out was too risky, he decided to cook it at home.

　　As a result, the condiments were also poisonous, and the tap water flowing out of the faucet was also extremely poisonous.

　　In the Hokage's office, Sandaime looked very gloomy.

　　He has confirmed that Mizuki really noticed it.

　　Third Hokage:

- "In the past few days, Danzo's people have poisoned him five times, but they all failed due to various coincidences."

The mouse fell into the noodle bowl, the waiter who served the food suddenly slipped, the poisonous balls fell to the ground, the kitchen caught fire and all the condiments were burned, and the tap was broken.

　　It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice, but it is like this every time. It is obvious that it is not a coincidence.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Danzo is a loser, and the people he sent are also losers."

- "His Root-ninja can't even act like Ayame, and can get vinegar and soy sauce wrong.

And Mizuki immediately saw his flaws."

Sandaime also admired Mizuki's vigilance, he could notice such small things.

　　Third Hokage:

- "But how?"

Sighing, Sandaime summoned an ANBU.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Go and get Danzo. I'll meet him on the roof."

　　After Sandaime finished giving instructions, he went up to the roof, clasping his hands behind his back, looking up at the statues of past Hokages on the Hokage Rock.

　　Soon, Danzo arrived.

　　There were only two of them on the roof.

　　Hiruzen:

- "Danzo, please stop for now. The Chunin exams are about to begin. We have received news that ninjas from various villages who have come to take the exams are arriving one after another."

- "Orochimaru's plan to crush Konoha should already be carefully prepared. Therefore, for now, I will directly send the ROOT's workforce there. And Mizuki, you can leave him alone for now."

　　When Danzo heard this, he said:

- "What's wrong with this? You can directly eliminate the cause with ROOT's. This is to take away the last bit of power in my hand?"

- "Hiruzen, I want to lead the ROOT's to the border to monitor the activities of Sunagakure Village."

- "Just stay in Konoha and leave Sunagakure to me."

　　Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and said:

- "Danzo, I am not discussing with you."

- "On the night of the Nine-Tails twelve years ago, you held your the ROOT's and did not participate in the attack on the Nine-Tails. I don't blame you."

- "This time, I won't let you do whatever you want."

　　Danzo was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

　　Who says he is not Hokage?

　　Danzo:

- "What about Mizuki? How do you kill him? What if Mizuki survives Orochimaru's attack and turns against us..."

　　Hiruzen:

- "It wasn't because of ROOT's mistake, that Mizuki became more vigilant. Originally, he would die that night at Ichiraku Ramen."

　　Danzo snorted coldly and stopped talking.

　　He knew he was in the wrong, and he was also cursing the Root-ninja who transformed into a Ayame.

　　Hiruzen:

- "I will take care of it myself, so just leave Mizuki alone."

- "During this period, until the Chunin exams are over, you stay at home and don't go out at will."

　　Hiruzen turned around, his eyes cold:

- "Danzo, I know there is still a connection between you and Orochimaru, but this time it is about the survival of Konoha. I hope you will not make a mistake."

　　Danzo said:

- "Hiruzen, what do you mean by this? Didn't I do so much for Konoha?"

　　Hiruzen sneered, turned and left.

　　When he reached the stairs, Hiruzen paused:

- "Danzo, when you get back, inform all the Root members to gather at the Hokage Tower tomorrow morning and follow my orders."

- "Besides, you are not suitable to be Hokage!"

After saying that, he went downstairs.
