Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

In just a moment, a steadily rotating chakra sphere containing terrifying power had already appeared in his hand!

“Rasengan!”

“…”

Hearing this name, Hideki couldn't help but twitch his lips. Jiraiya really likes promoting this technique.

But after thinking about it, Hideki felt it wasn't bad, especially since his offensive methods were indeed a bit limited.

Moreover, the variations of the Rasengan are very rich and seem to be adaptable to any attribute of chakra, which is very suitable for Hideki at this time.

But the thought that he seems to be increasingly walking the path of Naruto gave him a headache.

“What I want is to replace Asura, not that kid Naruto…”

“You bastard, how dare you!”

Konoha, within the Root base.

Danzo slammed the scroll that Orochimaru had sent over, now furious to the extreme.

He never dreamed that Orochimaru would dare to treat him like this, actually daring to disobey his orders and privately leave a survivor!

Such actions really made Danzo feel very passive. In his opinion, Orochimaru's actions at this time were no different from betrayal.

But in addition to anger, Danzo also knew that he really couldn't do anything to Orochimaru.

Because he also understood that Orochimaru was also unlucky this time, because Jiraiya's team directly acted, just disrupting their planned deployment.

But he couldn't explain this matter. He couldn't possibly tell Orochimaru that he had been excluded from everything related to Hideki by his old friend, right?

Even this negotiation with Iwagakure didn't allow him to participate?

He, the dignified Hokage Assistant, couldn't afford to lose face.

“Damn it, is this the Hokage? Is this the right of the Hokage to do whatever he wants?”

Danzo roared inwardly, but soon he sighed.

Because he himself felt that the Hokage's power was limitless.

Even if he was already second only to one person, compared to the Hokage, he really was nothing.

Only by becoming that one and only can he do everything he wants to do, only then can he have unlimited power!

“I still need to keep working hard. The first step is Hideki's problem.”

Danzo forced himself to calm down. If he wanted to become Hokage, he had to tie Hideki down.

Even though he had a curse mark to control Hideki, as Hideki's strength grew stronger, he was also worried about whether his curse mark would still be effective.

This is also why he wanted to get rid of Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto. He needed to create new bonds and a deep hatred so that Hideki would rely on him!

“At the same time, I must make Hideki realize that only if I become Hokage will I thoroughly investigate Orochimaru.”

Danzo muttered to himself, looking at the scroll on the ground, he pondered for a moment and decided to stabilize Orochimaru first, which was the most crucial thing.

Taking out paper and pen, he hesitated again and again, seeming to sort out his thoughts before starting to write.

“I will compensate you, but you must also know when to stop. Your whereabouts were revealed by me. Some people need to be given a little sweetness so that things will be easier to handle in the future.

As for Jiraiya's joining, I am not clear about this. Perhaps it is the effect caused by your reputation being too loud.”

After writing this, Danzo looked at it repeatedly for a few times and finally nodded.

Neither humble nor overbearing, while adopting a condescending attitude, without showing the slightest timidity, only then can he gain an advantage.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and continued to write.

“As for the person you left behind, then leave him behind.

It may as well be considered a handle that I give you, at least to show my sincerity.

At the same time, it is also a compensation for not notifying you this time. Are you satisfied now?”

After writing this sentence, Danzo stopped. He wanted to leave his name directly, but after thinking about it, he decided not to be so radical for the time being.

Hideki's actions this time will inevitably anger Orochimaru. Danzo himself is aware of this.

But after some thought, he felt that this matter could be used well.

Hideki hasn't come to him yet, indicating that Hideki probably doesn't understand this matter deeply, or perhaps it also indicates that Orochimaru didn't lie.

Then, before that, confirm well, investigate well, and stabilize Orochimaru!

As for whether the person is alive, after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be a big deal.

On the contrary, this is likely to become a means for him to further control Hideki.

Having followed Orochimaru for so long, does this mean that this guy has been brainwashed by Orochimaru and his words are no longer credible?

Moreover, at that time, even if Orochimaru takes out the records of contacting him, can't that also be seen as Orochimaru forging it himself?

The development of things is never one-sided. How to find a glimmer of opportunity in such a predicament, and then fight hard, is the key to striving for success!

Danzo has gone through so many years of ups and downs, and has cultivated so deeply in the darkest places, he also has his own understanding and methods.

Although the situation is unfavorable to him this time, it is also an opportunity.

“Take it and pass it to Orochimaru.”

After writing everything, Danzo handed the scroll to Aburame Ryoma.

“By the way, has Anbu had any recent actions?”

“Lord Danzo, please forgive me. Recently, it has been difficult for us to obtain information from Anbu.”

Aburame Ryoma took the scroll and then shook his head helplessly.

Since the first negotiation with Iwagakure, after Danzo used Sunagakure to exert pressure, Hiruzen Sarutobi not only cut off Danzo's connection with Hideki.

Root, as Danzo's department, has also cut off some connections with Anbu. At least, they can't get any information about Hideki.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know when Hideki and the others left, when they came back, and how many people came back!

After all, entering and leaving Konoha is not only through the main gate, but also through many passages that are convenient for Anbu and Root to move.

Especially these departments shouldn't use the main entrance, lest they be seen by the spies hidden within the village, wouldn't that be actively exposing intelligence?

"Forget it, I understand."

Danzo nodded, then stopped asking questions. He had many things to deal with and couldn't keep his attention focused here.

Besides stabilizing Orochimaru, he now needed to 'reclaim' his lost power as much as possible.

He absolutely refused to be marginalized. His goal was the Hokage position, how could he accept being treated like this?

"The Uchiha's recent movements seem somewhat abnormal, especially with Uchiha Shisui's withdrawal from the Anbu."

"Perhaps, we can make good use of this!"

"A rebellious clan, Hiruzen, you want to win over such a clan? This is giving me an opportunity."

"Shisui, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, Clan Head."

Inside the Uchiha clan compound, in the pavilion of the Clan Head's residence, Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku sat together.

Looking at the fish swimming in the pond, Shisui nodded slightly. The reason for his meeting with Uchiha Fugaku this time was simple.

It was to explain his thoughts and inform the Clan Head of his final decision.

Truthfully, he wasn't so willing to leave the Anbu, but the current situation didn't allow him to think any further.

"It's good that you're back."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded with satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at Shisui.

"You've worked hard these years. It's enough to have Itachi in the Anbu now. Most importantly, the clan needs your strength."

Uchiha Fugaku was now happy in his heart. Shisui's return with the Mangekyo Sharingan could greatly alleviate some of the voices within the clan.

After all, Shisui had always grown up following those of the 'pacifist' faction, and his entry into the Anbu had put immense pressure on the clan.

No one knew what Shisui was thinking, or which side his will stood on!

After all, you are the warrior of whoever's beliefs you hold.

This was an unchanging truth, and they had to clarify whose warrior Shisui was.

Now that Shisui was back, it could both suppress some voices and clarify Shisui's position. How could Uchiha Fugaku not be happy about this?

"Now that you're back, take a good rest for a while, but during this time, I hope you don't reject those who come to visit you."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled, then spoke.

"There are countless people in the clan who want to visit you. Although I know you might not care, I think it's best not to refuse at this time.

Because, at this time, it's not a bad thing for everyone. Besides, we are all part of the clan, aren't we?"

"I understand."

Shisui nodded. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but speak.

"Clan Head, you know I'm in the Anbu, so you must also know that I can see and hear many different things.

Has the clan already reached such a dangerous point?"

Dangerous?

Uchiha Fugaku sighed. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he looked at the pond.

Perhaps, as far as Konoha was concerned, the Uchiha's current situation was indeed somewhat dangerous, but was this really what the Uchiha wanted?

He himself advocated peace, and he had also managed his relationship with Minato Namikaze, but unfortunately, the Fourth Hokage was now deceased.

It was impossible for him not to hate Uchiha Obito. It was because of this damned fellow's recklessness that the entire clan had fallen into its current situation.

But there was nothing he could do about it now. He couldn't ignore the voices within the clan, even if he didn't want to, he had already been pushed to this point.

Trust, that's the key!

At least, in Uchiha Fugaku's view, the Uchiha had never been trusted by Konoha.

"Shisui-kun, whether something is dangerous or not depends on the perspective from which you view it."

He calmly took a sip from his teacup, then slowly spoke.

"I know you've always been in the Anbu, and your perspective on things will be different, but please remember that you are a member of the Uchiha.

I hope you can understand how the danger arose, whether it was caused by us, or by others?"

"Us, or others?"

Hearing these words, Shisui suddenly thought of the story that Shūzō had told him, which made him close his eyes.

Shimura Danzo, that's the real culprit!

However, a question also arose in Shisui's mind.

Clan Head, what exactly has he done?

After all, he had been in the Anbu for so long, he knew that the Clan Head actually had the ability to have the final say.

Even if not the Clan Head, the squad leaders and even team leaders in the Anbu also had the authority to overrule everyone!

But why hadn't the Clan Head done anything?

Was it unwillingness, reluctance, or...

Shisui didn't want to think about it anymore, but the face of that guy Shūzō suddenly appeared in his mind.

Moreover, a large number of past experiences with Shūzō also appeared in his mind.

Having been with Shūzō for so long, Shūzō's many actions had stunned him, and he couldn't accept many things at first.

Because these things were completely contrary to his understanding, completely beyond his imagination, and he had even done things that exceeded the captain's authority and sidelined the captain more than once or twice.

Even with Lord Jiraiya, he dared to do so, and no matter how you looked at it, his choices were correct.

Ninjas must complete their missions, and ninjas also need to consider the village.

Even though this mission to Iwagakure seemed to have many problems, but thinking about it carefully, they had both met Orochimaru and further touched upon the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization.

Wasn't this a successful mission? Even if the problems that arose didn't escalate further.

The Iwagakure tower was burned down, but didn't they still have to grit their teeth and negotiate with Konoha?
