In this regard, Hokage-sama has no choice but to turn a blind eye. After all, Danzo is a Konoha patriarch, has no ill will towards Konoha, and is also bent on protecting the village, but his way of acting is too cruel and ruthless.
And for Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen has a trace of apology. After all, just because of one sentence, Danzo missed the position of Hokage.
However, no matter how strong Danzo is, he has to obey the Hokage. Ren Hayashi said to Minato, "Then why don't you look for Hokage-sama?"
"Hokage-sama is so busy, how can he care about us little devils who are not even shinobi?" Minato was helpless.
Ren nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, they are not jinchuriki, nor are they the heirs of big families like Uchiha and Hyuga, and they don't get the attention of Hokage-sama at all. Little ghosts like them are grabbed in the village.
What if Minato is a genius? Now he's just a little ghost who has just graduated, and no matter what potential he has, it's not as good as an ordinary chunin.
Definitely can't let Minato be brought into the "Root" by Danzo, because the "Root" is hell, and Danzo is the devil in hell. Thinking of Sai who was deprived of his emotion and name by "Root" in the original book, Ren couldn't help but clench his fists.
What the "Root" has cultivated is not ninjas, but one killing machine after another, with no past, no future, and only tasks in mind.
Minato buried his head in it, and his state was on the verge of collapse.
Huh!
A figure suddenly appeared in Ren's mind. Maybe Jiraiya could also help him, and Jiraiya cherished his talent, which he saw with his own eyes.
The most important thing is that Jiraiya is strong and unrestrained. Even if Danzo threatens Jiraiya, Jiraiya is not afraid. It is estimated that except for the teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade, no one dares to listen to his words.
"I have a way. You go with me to meet someone tomorrow."
Ren's words gave hope to Minato, and his blue eyes shone again.
In fact, they didn't go through the normal process. The normal process should be that the graduating students wait for the notice, and the Hokage will arrange for the jonin to assess them. Only after passing the assessment can they become genin, and then the jonin will become their instructor.
However, it is not forbidden to go through the back door. After all, elite shinobi like Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade have their own arrogance, and of course, the apprentices must be selected by them to be reassured.
Minato went home with anticipation, while Ren ran to the lake outside the village to continue his training of walking on water.
But it took all night, and he only managed to stand still on the surface of the lake; he couldn't walk on the lake.
If you can't walk on water, let alone anything else.
After returning home and exhausting and squeezing the chakra in his body several times, he went to sleep.
Even Ren himself didn't know that if he squeezed his body's energy every day to increase the amount of chakra, his body would bear a great load and cause great harm to his body.
You may not feel anything now, but over time, this body will eventually be scrapped.
When he woke up the next day, it was already noon. Ren hurriedly got up, and after a brief wash, he ran to the place where he made an appointment with Minato, but found that it was empty.
"Damn it!" Ren gasped and slapped his thigh, complaining about how he could sleep so soundly.
Minato is very trustworthy, and his failure to come can only mean that he was taken away by Danzo.
Ren was at a loss at this time. With his current strength, he couldn't compete with Danzo at all, and he didn't know the location of the "Root" of the Anbu yet.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Ren's mood was like rain. Sitting on the lawn and grabbing the grass indiscriminately, he hated himself for being too useless.
"Ren, it's so early."
Hearing the voice of Jiraiya, Ren stood up and said hello: "Good morning, Jiraiya-sensei."
Suddenly, he remembered that he and Jiraiya had agreed to meet here today and almost forgot about it.
"Haha, good, good." Jiraiya laughed out loud regardless of the image.
"Sensei, there is a student with better qualifications than me. Can you accept him?" Ren calmed down. This was his last chance, and he couldn't give up.
"Better qualifications than you? Who is it?" Jiraiya was puzzled.
"Minato."
Hearing this name, Jiraiya frowned, scratched the back of his head, and was not impressed at all.
Seeing Jiraiya's appearance, Ren knew that Minato did not have a reputation now, and the so-called genius name was only spread in the ninja school, and it couldn't reach the ears of these elite ninjas.
Geniuses don't count until they grow!
"In short, Minato has unlimited potential in the future, and it will be the pride of your life to accept him as an apprentice." Ren was in a hurry. Time waits for no one. Even if Minato resolutely does not agree to join the "Root," according to Danzo's temperament, he will definitely use means to force Minato to sign the consent form.
Jiraiya frowned again. This little kid spoke with such conviction that he almost believed it…
However, he can see this Minato that was praised by Ren to the sky, and it is up to him to decide whether to accept it or not anyway.
"Well, take me to him."
"He was forcibly taken away by that guy from Danzo." As soon as Ren finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was only an eight-year-old child, but he called the Hokage assistant, and his courage was not ordinary.
But Jiraiya laughed out loud and didn't accuse Ren of saying the wrong thing, which made Ren scratch his head. What's wrong with this guy?
"
Ren Hayashi, if you let Danzo hear this, that old guy will probably be half angry, but I like it." Jiraiya raised his eyebrows, and with the evil eyes, Ren Hayashi fell goosebumps.
If he hadn't known that he also liked women with big breasts and fat buttocks, he would definitely run away.
But it doesn't seem like I'm going to see that guy in Danzo, so it's easy to do, since I don't want to see Danzo, things will go a lot smoother.
"Ren Hayashi, that's how it should be, when you meet someone you respect, you should call him 'senior', and when you meet someone you hate, 'guy' is a good name, add the word 'old' in front, it's more in line with the characteristics of the old guy in Danzo, haha…"
Ren Hayashi is speechless, and he likes to praise himself and belittle others, and he is also very narcissistic.
If it weren't for Minato, Ren Hayashi would definitely laugh now, but he couldn't laugh at all now, Minato was his first friend, even if Minato could finally escape from the "root", he would have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins during the period of staying in the "root".
"Senior, can you find that old guy in Danzo?" Ren Hayashi simply called Danzo as he liked, and besides, he didn't like Danzo himself.
Deliberately didn't mention the "root", just to keep Jiraiya from being too careful, he is not even a ninja now, but he knows that there is a "root" in the shadows, which is really suspicious, maybe he will be taken to the shadows to torture now.
"I can't find the old guy's lair? You also underestimate my predecessors, come with me." Jiraiya also waved his hand and walked away.
I thought it would take a lot of words to say that Jiraiya, but I didn't expect Jiraiya to be exactly the same as he thought, except for Tsunade, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, what Hokage assists, in his eyes, does not exist at all…
It is estimated that if the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he can be a deaf ear.
He's a man with a real temperament!
Ren Hayashi smiled faintly, followed closely behind, and headed towards Danzo's lair!
