Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

But at least, from Danzo's words, he seemed to sense something interesting.

“Forget it, I won’t bother with that guy. As long as what he needs doesn't change, and…”

Orochimaru revealed a cold smile. The content written by Danzo seemed generous and like a step back, but he understood what it really meant.

It was a feigned retreat, to reduce his appearances before Hideyoshi, allowing him to continue 'making up stories' to brainwash Hideyoshi, while simultaneously deepening the definition that he himself was the culprit.

“Perhaps what you hope for most right now is that he really has such a survivor in his hands.”

If there was such a survivor, Danzo would inevitably define them as someone who had been brainwashed, thereby deepening Hideyoshi's stereotype.

If there wasn't, then it could be said that he had already killed the person, further stimulating the hatred in Hideyoshi's heart.

“But how are you going to convey this message?”

The gloom on Orochimaru's face deepened. Danzo had already proven himself to be an excellent chess player, so Orochimaru also needed to devote his full attention to dealing with him.

“Conveying a message isn't as simple as just saying the words. Investigating intelligence is a very serious matter.”

Danzo said that Orochimaru had someone in his hands, so how did he determine that?

This was a loophole. Even if Danzo could say it was information from an intelligence operative, as long as Orochimaru kept attacking this weakness, Danzo would inevitably leave traces!

“And just because you don't want me to contact that kid, do you think I'll listen to you?”

The Akatsuki organization had already made it clear that they were going to contact Hideyoshi, so this was Orochimaru's chance. He was very unhappy with Danzo right now!

“What? Me?”

On the other side, Kakuzu's expression was also a bit depressed. He looked at Konan and Pain in front of him, pointing at himself in disbelief.

“I’m going to investigate the Hidden Leaf Anbu’s actions? What a joke! If I had that ability, I would have avenged myself against that brat long ago!

Why not find Orochimaru? Isn't that guy a Hidden Leaf rogue ninja? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to find him?”

Kakuzu certainly knew that the Akatsuki was preparing to co-opt Hideyoshi. He had already prepared the scrolls and information for this matter, intending to give the message to Hideyoshi when it was time for the 'monthly settlement'.

Such important news would surely get him a 'overtime fee'!

It had to be said that Hideyoshi was indeed generous enough. The last time the Iwagakure operation had already shown that he would add money, so Kakuzu was motivated to follow such a boss.

But now, suddenly, the task of investigating Hideyoshi had fallen on Kakuzu's head, which made him suspect whether he had been exposed.

Otherwise, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like it should be his turn to do such a thing, right?

“Orochimaru’s side will naturally have him handle it. As for you, there is actually a reason here.”

Pain didn't know what Kakuzu was thinking. He also knew how difficult this task was, so he could only explain it quietly.

“If there are no accidents, his informant within should have already been infiltrated by Shimura Danzo. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the Hidden Leaf people would arrive just in time.”

Because I am the spy…

Kakuzu was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he still nodded expressionlessly.

“Since that's the case, then why don't we take advantage of this infiltrated guy?”

Konan also spoke at this moment. Her voice was indifferent and you couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations, and Kakuzu instantly understood her meaning.

“You mean, we actively use this point to spread some of the Akatsuki's actions, let him pass them back to Hidden Leaf, so that Zhiyuan Hideyoshi will come out himself?”

“That's right.”

Pain nodded. Kakuzu, the guy he personally recruited, was really good. He understood their meaning in just a moment.

“Instead of us constantly searching, it's better to have him come to our door himself. This will also make it easier for us to act.”

“But won't this be dangerous?”

Kakuzu frowned and said in a low voice. He wasn't afraid of danger, he was afraid that the Akatsuki would disband, and where would he get his salary in the future!

After a hundred years of ups and downs, Kakuzu still loved being a bounty hunter, and constantly challenged those who were wanted.

But after truly starting to 'eat ready-made meals', he suddenly realized why he was so tired?

Having a stable environment to constantly earn money, and turning his former main job into his amateur hobby, what a comfortable thing this was?

Therefore, now the person who least wants the Akatsuki to have problems is naturally himself!

Where would he continue to 'eat ready-made meals'?

It had to be said that his and Hideyoshi's ideas were really similar, and they were both operating with the idea of 'shameful overfishing'.

“Don't worry about this, I will personally take action if necessary!”

Nagato raised his eyebrows. He didn't like Kakuzu's questioning that much, but considering that the Akatsuki was indeed somewhat mentally affected by being beaten, he still spoke patiently.

Zhiyuan Hideyoshi's Wood Release seemed to be really terrifying, and no one could really withstand its power.

But Nagato wasn't afraid, he was even a little eager to try!

Because in his opinion, no matter what power faced the Rinnegan, it would eventually be defeated.

Whether it was Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, who claimed to have quelled the chaos of the ninja world, the possession of the Rinnegan proved that he was the Six Paths Sage's representative in the human world.

He would definitely become the god of the human world!

Wood Release was the power of the First Hokage, and he was also very eager to collide with such power to see how strong each other really was.

At the same time, he also hoped to use such power to 'calm' Zhiyuan Hideyoshi down. They had the same enemy.

“Since that's the case, then I'll try it out. But I can't guarantee whether it will work.”

Hearing these words, Kakuzu could only nod in the end. Anyway, he would pass the information out, and whether Hideyoshi agreed or not was none of his business.

“Just go ahead and do it, you don't have to worry about the rest.”

Pain nodded, and then didn't say anything more. Kakuzu saw this and was very straightforward, leaving the room without looking back.

As far as he was concerned, Pain was not a leader, but more of an employer, so he just had to do his job.

“But, do you really want to be the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind?”

Kakuzu sighed softly in his heart.

He didn't know who the oriole was yet.

But the cicada and the mantis were running around everywhere.

“It seems that Orochimaru has been temporarily stabilized.”

Looking at the information sent back by Orochimaru in his hand, Danzo nodded in satisfaction.

Moreover, he was now basically certain that Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou were likely finished, so he could pass some information to Shuzawa.

In recent days, Shuzawa hadn't come to him, and he hadn't actively sought out Shuzawa either, because he wasn't clear about what exactly had happened ahead.

Plus, he needed to try his best to squeeze into the negotiations with Iwagakure to highlight his status, so he didn't have time to care.

But now he had time, because...

"Damn Hiruzen Sarutobi, you actually rejected me like this!"

Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but slam his fist on the table. He never expected his old friend to be so resistant to his participation.

Not only him, but Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were the same, which made Danzo really unable to hold back.

"I'm wholeheartedly for Konoha, and this is the result? I can only blame myself for being a second too late back then."

Danzo gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, but he couldn't continue cursing because he himself was embarrassed to keep going.

Back then, his hesitation for that one second was because he was really worried that he would die there, which allowed Hiruzen Sarutobi to take the lead.

But what if he hadn't been a second too slow, what if his teacher had suddenly nodded and said to him seriously.

"Danzo, since you are so persistent, then this task will be entrusted to you."

Thinking about possibly facing such a situation, Danzo also felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what his teacher was thinking or how he would choose.

For example, his teacher clearly hated the Uchiha clan so much, but he still gave them the Konoha Military Police Force, which he didn't understand at the time.

Although now it seems that the Military Police Force, such a huge organization and power structure, has actually become a cage for the Uchiha.

Because they are arrogant and conceited, they disdain sharing power with others, but they themselves don't have that many people.

Over time, the Military Police Force became the Uchiha's 'own department,' and the various powers of the Military Police Force were replaced by other departments.

They were only left with the role of 'city management' and 'prison guards,' locked tightly inside.

But Danzo was still worried. What if one day someone in the Uchiha clan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and started to open up the Military Police Force, constantly reclaiming the rights of the Military Police Force.

"A monster institution is about to be born. Teacher, what are you thinking..."

In fact, he had some idea of what his teacher was thinking, but he was simply unwilling to admit it.

In his opinion, Tobirama Senju should be the ruthless and cold person who uses thunderous means and stops at nothing to solve all problems!

Just like him...

"Forget it, I will definitely make up for the mistakes left by my teacher. As long as I become Hokage, I will definitely correct all these mistakes!"

Danzo thought secretly, then he took out a scroll and wrote a lot of information on it.

After carefully checking it several times, he finally knocked on the table with satisfaction. Aburame Ryoma's figure quickly came to his side.

"Find a suitable time, without being noticed, and give this scroll to Shihara Shuzawa."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Aburame Ryoma was as respectful as ever. In his eyes, Danzo had long become the only sun!

"Also, how has Shihara Shuzawa been recently?"

Danzo continued to ask, because of Tsunade, coupled with Hiruzen Sarutobi's strong interference, and Shuzawa's own mission, it was difficult for him to see the person.

This made the unease in his heart intensify. After all, he didn't even know how his 'subordinate' was doing, which was not a good thing!

Obviously, Hiruzen Sarutobi was trying to snatch people again!

This made him very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. He could only learn information through Aburame Ryoma now.

"It's still the same as before, there are no obvious changes."

Aburame Ryoma said in a low voice, he had performed this task many times and basically understood it.

"However, his relationship with Yugao Uzuki seems to be getting better and better, Lord Danzo, this may also be a reliable choice."

"Yugao Uzuki?"

Danzo frowned. He was different from Hiruzen Sarutobi. He basically had no 'worldly desires.'

For him, if he was 'so haggard because he was hurt by beauty,' then he would definitely be a model of 'abstaining from sex from today onwards.'

He only had the Hokage in his eyes, and he only wanted the Hokage. Women would only be obstacles to him becoming Hokage!

"Hmph, what a waste of talent, indulging in this kind of love and affection, it's really disappointing.

However, this seems to be good too, at least Konoha may have a child in the future, but Yugao Uzuki is just a commoner, she is not qualified enough..."

Danzo hoped that Shuzawa could leave a child in the future, preferably a child who could inherit Wood Release, so that he would not be afraid of not having subordinates to use after he became Hokage.

But a commoner, what kind of child can she give birth to? Danzo himself doubted it.

If necessary, he would rather see some progress between Shuzawa and Tsunade!

After all, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and she also inherited part of the Wood Release bloodline, but it has not been activated.

Her bloodline, plus Shuzawa, who has already independently awakened Wood Release, the probability of them giving birth to a child with Wood Release is greater!

Although Danzo also admitted that their age difference seemed a bit large, and even their seniority was a bit of a problem, but so what?

Wood Release, that is the most important thing!

"But there is nothing wrong with using it a little. Investigate the situation of this woman clearly, maybe you can use her to better control Shuzawa."

"I understand, I will try my best to investigate the information of that woman, but she is now also a student of Tsunade, so..."

Aburame Ryoma nodded, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but he also tried his best to make it clear about the troubles he might encounter.

"Tsunade's student?"

Danzo's face changed slightly again when he heard this. After a moment, he slammed the table again.

"Good move, Hiruzen, good move!"

Binding the person who has a good relationship with Shuzawa to Tsunade's side in advance, in Danzo's opinion, this is another move to guard against him!

And it seems that only Hiruzen Sarutobi can do this...
