Although Danzo is cooperating with Orochimaru, he didn't actually trust him, he is just using him.
So, as soon as Orochimaru left, Danzo called his close subordinate and gave him an order.
"Orochimaru may have been exposed, so try to reduce contact with him as much as possible in the future, and immediately cut off contact with him after obtaining the Hashirama's cell transplantation technology."
"Understood!" Hearing Danzo's words, an Anbu member wearing a mask nodded immediately.
"Does Danzo-sama have any other orders?"
"Um..."
Hearing his words, Danzo thought about it for a while, and then nodded.
"One more thing, there is a child selling sculptures on a busy street in the south of the village. Go tell him that he is not allowed to sell my sculptures!"
In fact, Danzo did not want Zhang Miao to sell his sculptures. After all, being able to be immortalized into a sculpture also represented a kind of recognition, but he couldn't bear Zhang Miao using his sculptures as a gift for purchasing Hiruzen's sculptures.
"That is too cheap!"
But Danzo himself knew very well that people would take his sculpture as a gift because they couldn't buy it. After all he couldn't force people to buy them instead of getting them for free, right?
So he simply asked his subordinates to tell Zhang Miao that he was not allowed to sell his sculpture again. This was the best decision his opinion.
After hearing his words, the masked man nodded immediately.
"I understand, Danzo-sama, I'll go right now!"
After saying that, he bowed his head towards Danzo, then turned around and went out.
After he left, Danzo walked back and forth in the room for a few times, feeling uneasy, so he used the Transformation jutsu to become the gloomy man before, and then opened the door and walked out.
After going out, Danzo walked directly to the same street in the south of the village, and soon came to the place where Zhang Miao was selling his sculptures.
But what was different from before was that there was a large group of people around, and Danzo could hear the quarrel in front of him across the distance.
"This is a sculpture I carved with my ability, so why not let me sell it!"
"Why not? It's an order!"
"Fuck! Hokage wouldn't give such a boring order..."
Hearing the noise, Danzo immediately frowned.
Originally, he wanted to deal with the matter in a low-key manner, but now it seems that things have gone in a direction he doesn't want, so he hastened his pace and walked over.
Due to the crowd of onlookers, Danzo took a lot of effort to squeeze in, and then saw the argument between the two.
One of them was wearing Anbu's equipment with an animal mask on his head, which was his subordinat, while the other was Zhang Miao, the owner of the stall.
At this time, Zhang Miao was holding a photo and waving it, grinning mockingly.
"Let me tell you, my stall was approved by the Third Hokage and Konoha Police Force! And just now you told me that I'm not allowed to sell my sculptures? Who gave you that order, really?"
"About that..."
Hearing Zhang Miao's question, the Root Anbu was suddenly speechless.
"Root" is a unit affiliated with Danzo, not under the jurisdiction of Hokage and Anbu, but it is also a secret organization that needs to be kept strictly confidential and is not allowed to be mentioned to the public.
Now Zhang Miao just asked him who ordered him. Naturally, he couldn't say it was Danzo, because in everyone's knowledge Anbu belonged to Hokage. If he said that he was taking Danzo's order, then it would be the same as revealing the existence of the Root.
It is because of these considerations that he can only pretend to be tough at this moment and shout: "You are not qualified to know, now you must close the stall, and stop selling your sculptures!
Hearing his words, Danzo immediately understood how the conflict started.
Danzo knew that his subordinate did this in order not to expose him.
After all, it would be a little suspicious if it was only forbidden to sell Danzo's sculptures, but it would be less obvious if he forbade him from selling all of his sculptures.
If Zhang Miao was an ordinary person, he would have no problem doing this, but the child in front of him said that he had the permission from the Third Hokage and Konoha Police Force, so it would be impossible to ban him from selling wood sculptures.
Thinking of this, Danzo immediately walked out and grinned at Zhang Miao.
"Hehe, boy, I just heard about this. I think the Anbu forbade you from selling Danzo's sculptures because of the rumor of his assasination attempt on the Third Hokage.
"Huh?" Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao turned around and blinked at him, "Didn't you just buy the 'Shimura Danzo - Vacuum Sphere' sculpture earlier? Why are you still there? Want to buy one more?"
"Uh..."
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Dano's face suddenly stiffened, but after realizing it, he quickly nodded.
"Yeah, the one I bought just now has been confiscated by Anbu, so I plan to buy another one. I didn't expect the Anbu to come so soon... Sigh..."
Speaking of this, Danzo immediately sighed and showed a look of pity. Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, let me tell you the truth. I have a strong relationship with the Third Hokage. It's okay, come on, I will sell you more sculptures!"
With that said, Zhang Miao immediately took out one of Danzo sculpture from the stall, stuffed it directly into Danzo's hand, and then winked at him.
"Let me tell you, you have made a great deal this time. Since Anbu forbade me from selling this sculpture, then this 'Shimura Danzo · Vacuum Sphere' is an out of print item! It's a limited edition stuff, you know? There are only few of them in this Ninja World!
Danzo: "..."
"Damn it,you just wanted to make more money!"
Thinking of this, the corners of Danzo's mouth twitched a few times, and then a forced smile appeared.
"Then how much is this out-of-print 'Shimura Danzo - Vacuum Sphere' sculpture?"
"Look at what you said!"
As soon as Danzo's voice fell, Zhang Miao rolled his eyes at him,
"I am a kind person! Although now this sculpture has become a limited edition item, but I still sell it at the original price, 350,000 ryos, and I don't want any more!"
Danzo: "..."
You clearly said before that it was a free gift!
Danzo knew about Zhang Miao's shamelessness, so he could only pay for it while asking Zhang Miao, "Then how much is the sculpture of the Third Hokage?"
"Third Hokage?"
Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why he asked this question.
However, as a qualified businessman, Zhang Miao would not refuse any good deals he received, so he once again showed a bright smile towards Danzo.
"The original price of the Third Hokage's sculpture was 500,000 ryos, and now it's only 300,000!, but I see that you are my fateful guest, so here you go!"
After speaking, Zhang Miao immediately picked up one of Hiruzen's sculpture from the stall, stuffed it into Danzo's hand, and then grinned at him again.
"Dear costumer, there are still 7 of that limited Danzo sculptures left, why don't you buy all of them?!"
Danzo: "..."
Are you trying to rip me off?
