Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"Alright, shut up, let's get going."

"Yeah, Tenzo, I also think it's better if you shut up."

Shisui also nodded. Although he didn't fully understand, he knew it probably wasn't a compliment.

Didn't he see that Yugao wasn't even talking anymore? Shisui had that much perception.

Besides, in his opinion, this was his last Anbu mission, and it was best to avoid any mishaps.

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about this anymore."

Jiraiya led the way, but he glanced at Shuize out of the corner of his eye.

How could this kid understand everything?

Although he looked fifteen or sixteen years old, he was a little too mature, wasn't he?

And for some reason, Jiraiya suddenly felt a little envious of this hateful kid.

He sighed inwardly. After they silently arrived outside the village, he suddenly thought of something and spoke with a slightly serious expression.

"This mission is troublesome and dangerous, so I hope we can cooperate well this time, and I also hope you can listen to my commands, is that okay?"

Jiraiya finished speaking, but he was surprised to find that no one responded directly for a moment, not even Kakashi.

And interestingly, he noticed that everyone was looking at Shuize.

"Does this kid have such great prestige?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but nod when he saw this scene. It wasn't surprising that he had such influence with Wood Release and Flying Thunder God.

What he didn't know was that Kakashi and Shisui had both suffered greatly at Shuize's hands.

When Shuize was willing to listen to their orders, or even call him 'Captain,' that was probably when they were likely to be scapegoated.

"Of course, no problem, we will definitely listen to Lord Jiraiya."

Shuize seemed to understand the gazes of Shisui and Kakashi, and he immediately nodded at Jiraiya with a smile.

Listening to commands was his strength!

However, how to listen to commands, how to carry out commands, still depended on Shuize himself.

As for how to convince Jiraiya, it was actually quite easy. Although Jiraiya was stubborn at times, he also had a very obvious weakness.

That was Orochimaru.

Coincidentally, they might actually encounter Orochimaru this time, then this matter would be easy to handle!

"That's good."

Jiraiya smiled immediately when he saw how obedient Shuize was.

"I believe we can definitely get the job done this time!"

"I think so too."

Shuize also had a face full of smiles, and even with the mask on, everyone could feel his smile.

"I believe we can get along very well, Captain Jiraiya."

"Shuize and the others have set out again?"

Inside the Root headquarters in Konoha.

Danzo looked at the report in his hand, lost in thought.

But as he pondered, an unpleasant expression appeared on his face.

Because he had no idea what Shuize was going to do this time, and no one had told him!

"Hiruzen, your magnanimity is only so-so."

After a while, he snorted softly and threw the scroll aside, no longer paying attention to it.

Danzo had made quite a splash in the negotiations between Konoha and Iwagakure. After all, under Shuize's secret coordination, he had a great influence on Sunagakure.

This influence had been fully realized this time. The information he had Yume Ryoma transmit had moved Sunagakure, and Sunagakure had indeed cooperated this time!

Even if Sunagakure had its own calculations in this, would you say they listened or not?

This situation made Danzo feel particularly satisfied, and under his influence, Konoha had indeed obtained many benefits.

But he was not satisfied with this benefit. In his opinion, Konoha had taken too little, and Konoha should have taken more while they had the chance!

Therefore, he unhesitatingly prepared to carry out some 'punitive' work, which was another opportunity for him.

But before he could start, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already come to his door with Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

"Danzo, I don't care what you're thinking, and I don't want to ask what you've done for the time being, but I warn you, it's best to know when to stop!"

Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's unusually serious expression, Danzo admitted that he was a little flustered at the time.

There was no way around it. After Root being wiped out, his assassination being exposed, Root being surrounded by Anbu, and Kabuto being forcibly taken away, it was impossible for Danzo not to panic.

But he also had his own persistence. He knew that his old friend was sentimental, so he could only pretend to be calm and say.

"Hiruzen, I know what you mean, but you are too weak. Never mind Kumogakure, you are still like this with Iwagakure. Do you know how much loss you will bring to Konoha?"

"Loss?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also amused by this. Thinking of what Danzo had done behind his back, he said with a cold face.

"Offending Iwa to the death will only benefit Kumo in vain. Even if Iwa can't go to war with us, what good does it do to offend them?

This will only make us more disadvantaged. Do you hope that if there is a war in the future, the scene of the Third Shinobi World War will be repeated?"

"You also know that war may break out in the future, then they must be enemies. What's wrong with weakening the enemy through accumulation?"

"You... you're just doing it for yourself!"

"I'm doing it for Konoha! Admittedly, I will benefit from this, but that's because you are too weak. You are harming Konoha!"

"Enough, I am the Hokage!"

"You... you will regret it!"

It must be said that when these two quarreled, they would eventually return to the sentence 'I am the Hokage,' and then Danzo could only surrender.

Because this sentence was constantly reminding Danzo of a cruel fact: he was just a Hokage assistant, what was he being arrogant about?

"Bastard!"

Even now, Danzo couldn't help but slam his fist on the table when he thought of that scene. His desire to become Hokage grew even stronger in his heart.

When that day comes, he will definitely have a good argument with Hiruzen Sarutobi, so that he can also say to Hiruzen Sarutobi: I am the Hokage!

However, these are all things for later. It was because of this argument, coupled with what he did during the negotiations with Iwagakure, that he was slightly restricted.

Especially the connection between him and Shusawa was completely cut off!

Currently, he really doesn't have many opportunities to contact Shusawa.

"Is it to completely sever the connection, just like when you snatched 'Kinoe' from me back then?"

Danzo murmured. He had completely ignored the fact that he thought Shusawa was a civilian ninja and sent Shusawa to the Anbu himself.

He gently tapped the table, seriously considering what to do next.

He would never give up on Shusawa. A smart and powerful genius, even if he has autonomy, still has a weakness in his hands.

How could he give such a talent away?

"It seems that some things must be intensified."

Danzo's eyes became a little gloomy, and the fingers tapping on the table stopped.

"Ryoma, come here."

"Danzo-sama."

As Danzo's voice fell, Aburame Ryoma instantly appeared in front of Danzo, then lowered his head and knelt on one knee, showing incomparable respect.

"You relay my order to Yakushi Nonou, and tell her to eliminate a target hiding in Iwagakure."

Danzo said coldly with a cold face.

"At the same time, convey my order to Yakushi Kabuto, and tell him that there is an Anbu member of ours in Iwagakure, and let him go to make contact and pass on information."

Speaking of this, Danzo stood up. His tolerance for Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou had reached its limit.

One keeps clamoring to see the director and constantly emphasizes that he will withdraw from Root after completing the 'final mission'.

The other keeps asking him for photos of Yakushi Kabuto and Shiwara Shusawa, fantasizing that one day she can be free.

These two really deserve to have the same surname and be equally naive!

"Can't you learn from Shusawa? That kid sees things much clearer than you."

Root is not a place you can come and go as you please!

After doing so many things and understanding so much dark information, there is no way these intelligence can be taken out alive!

To put it bluntly, their ending was already doomed since they had such thoughts.

"It just so happens that their deaths can be used to make Shiwara Shusawa more devoted."

Danzo thought to himself. He would not forget that these two were the key to his control over Shusawa, and killing them both was risky.

But while there are risks, there are also great benefits, such as telling Shusawa that Yakushi Kabuto is still alive and that he killed Yakushi Nonou.

Or, the person who did it was Orochimaru.

In fact, it doesn't matter who it is. He is the only one who can get information about the two of them. Even the Anbu cannot compare to him in this regard!

"So, if you want revenge, you can only rely on me, and hatred is always the best nourishment."

Hatred can make a person lose themselves and make a person constantly move forward on the path of revenge.

Danzo understands this better than Uchiha Itachi.

"Also, notify Orochimaru and ask him to do something for this old man."

Danzo turned his head to look at Aburame Ryoma kneeling on the ground. His voice was still as cold as ever.

"Go to Iwagakure to help me clean up. Tell him the information about Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto. After it's done, I will give him what he wants. Go!"

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

Aburame Ryoma nodded, then he turned around and quickly walked out of the door, leaving only Danzo standing in place.

After a while, Danzo slowly opened his mouth.

"Once you enter Root, no one can escape, no one can escape!"

"Have we been having a few too many meetings lately?"

Inside the iron tower in Amegakure, Sasori's phantom looked at Payne in front of him, shook his head, and asked in a cold voice.

Akatsuki is a loosely organized group, which can be seen from the fact that everyone can do their own thing in different countries.

But Akatsuki also has some mandatory activities, such as some key tasks, and Sasori does not refuse these things.

After all, he is also a ninja. He used to be used to it in the village.

But there have really been too many meetings lately, especially the last time he went to Kusagakure, which caused serious damage to his puppets.

During this period of time, he has been trying his best to replenish his puppets. He didn't expect that another task would come around.

"This time it's not a task."

Nagato controlled Payne and shook his head. This time it was indeed not a task, but this time's matter was also very important.

After thinking for a while, and also after a discussion with Konan, he had made up his mind.

"This time we are going to recruit a new member. I think this guy's arrival will be very helpful to us, so I plan to let you guys try."

"Oh, a new member?"

Black Zetsu, who had transformed into a Zetsu, glanced at Payne suspiciously. He didn't know much about this matter.

His days have not been easy during this period of time. After all, that kid Obito is really giving him a headache.

The last contact with Kakashi was originally intended by Black Zetsu to let him vent and at the same time strengthen his determination to take back his own eyes.

As a result...

The process seemed to be fine, but in the end, a big problem occurred!
