"There is one more thing I want to report to Uncle Hiruzen."
After Hiruzen finished reprimanding Danzo and talking about the Will of Fire, Kazuki, who had let his words go in one ear and out the other, spoke slowly: "Asuma taught me some Fire Release ninjutsu from the Sarutobi clan. As a thank you, I shared with him some of the Uchiha clan's techniques in using the Fire Release. However, to help him understand them quickly, I used the Sharingan to induce a genjutsu."
"This is part of a development technique I'm exploring with the Sharingan. I use genjutsu to give shinobi the feeling of performing high-level ninjutsu, which can help in acquiring new techniques. Perhaps it could be useful in teaching at the ninja school…"
"Also, I have some concern. I'm worried that if someone finds out that I used a genjutsu to exchange techniques in handling the Fire Release with Asuma, they might try to sow discord."
"Like Asuma, I don't trust some people in the village. I only trust Uncle Hiruzen. After all, I am an Uchiha..."
After finishing speaking, Kazuki showed his Sharingan, which radiated an unusual warmth, and sighed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at this special pair of Sharingan and laughed.
How could he not know?
When Sarutobi Hiruzen used the telescope technique and saw Kazuki teaching Nohara Rin the Mystical Palm Technique, he understood what was going on.
The key point is that Kazuki showed him the Sharingan and confessed that he used genjutsu on Asuma...
This is very important. No matter how the genjutsu is used and whether the intention is good or not, it is very sensitive to use genjutsu on the son of the Hokage.
But when Kazuki took the initiative to say it, the nature of the matter changed completely.
Below the level of Mangekyo, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not afraid of the genjutsu of the Sharingan.
They were in Konoha, not in some remote corner like Kirigakure, where there wasn't even detection ninjutsu. Here there was the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the sensory abilities of the Yamanaka and Uzumaki clans, and the intelligence of the Nara clan…
No one could secretly control Konoha's top brass, not even the Hokage's son.
"You kid, you think too much." Hiruzen smiled warmly, though his tone held a slight reproach. "Don't worry, Kazuki. I have complete trust in you. You are an excellent Konoha shinobi, with the strongest Will of Fire I have ever seen."
"Don't worry about your Uchiha origin, the Uchiha clan is also an important part of Konoha."
"In his time, my sensei, the Second Hokage, trusted Kagami completely, even in difficult situations, and considered him a valuable disciple. I may not be as great as Tobirama-sama, but I definitely have the ability to accept someone like you, Kazuki."
Hearing this, Kazuki breathed a long sigh of relief, and despite Tobirama's screams, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
——"Monkey, you have a shitty capacity! You really made me lose face in front of this kid!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't be more pleased with Kazuki. He coughed lightly and said quietly: "Kazuki… the following is a request I make to you as your friend's father."
"I know that team assignment is a crucial step in a shinobi's career. It's the beginning of bonding, something extremely important. You may already have in mind the partners you'd like to be with."
"But I am not only a Hokage, as Asuma's father, I have to say that I have some selfish motives..."
"When the class division comes, I will put you and Asuma in the same class and find a good teacher for you."
Kazuki smiled. So this was a little show of favoritism from the Hokage?
"Thank you, Uncle Hiruzen. I would also very much like to be Asuma's teammate and grow together as pillars of Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed happily.
In his mind, he is already a Hokage who can subdue Uchiha, just like Senju Tobirama.
Looking at the portrait of Senju Tobirama hanging on the wall, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself: 'Sensei, I'm doing my best to follow in your footsteps and become a good Hokage…'
'Please support me from wherever you are.'
When Kazuki left, Sarutobi Hiruzen also mentioned to Kazuki that if a certain shinobi really troubled him, don't worry, Konoha's iron fist will support the righteous Kazuki!
And just a few nights later.
Kazuki, who was going home from shopping, passed an intersection.
A strange man with bandages all over his body and crutches appeared in front of Kazuki.
The person who came was Shimura Danzo...
...
Lately, Danzo had been feeling incredibly satisfied.
The human experiment he secretly conducted alongside Orochimaru had been a success. The baby who survived was named Kinoe, and although he was only a few years old, he had already awakened Wood Release.
According to the information he obtained from Kinoe, Orochimaru had injected Danzo with a small amount of Hashirama's cells. While this did not allow him to master Wood Release, it did help him better control his right eye with the three-tomoe Sharingan.
So far, Shimura Danzo believes that he has mastered the original power of Konoha...
The combination of Uchiha and Senju power would secure him the title of Hokage.
Full of confidence, after eliminating the obstacles he considered on his way to the title of Fourth Hokage, he only saw one ninja as a true threat: Hatake Sakumo, who distinguished himself in the Second Great Shinobi War.
The others, like Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru, were nothing more than defeated warriors in Amegakure, nothing to fear.
Although they were known as the 'Sannin', compared to him, a veteran of Konoha and a born leader, they still lacked a lot.
Recently, Danzo had heard about Kazuki's growing fame, which sparked deep interest in him.
Shimura Danzo needs more Sharingan, and if he can deceive a talented Uchiha as his loyal dog...
Then the three-tomoe Sharingan, wouldn't it be inexhaustible?
Orochimaru has told him that if he wants to obtain the power of Wood Release, he must inject more Hashirama cells, and if he wants to carry more Hashirama cells, he needs more three-tomoe Sharingan!
Moreover, if Shimura Danzo wants to ascend to the position of Hokage, if Kazuki can subdue the Uchiha clan as his assistant, then the chances of success will greatly increase...
With all these reasons in mind, Danzo decided to recruit Kazuki.
This time, Danzo had prepared an irrefutable speech and offer...
"Uchiha Kazuki, I like you..."
Danzo, his right eye covered by bandages and leaning on a cane, stood in the middle of the street. His presence was grim and oppressive as he addressed Kazuki, who was approaching.
"Your will of fire cannot flourish under the light of the village. Only with me will you be able to achieve your ambitions and guide the Uchiha clan on the right path."
Kazuki slowly stopped, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the leader of Konoha's Root.
Did this supposed Hokage advisor believe his fame preceded him?
Why the hell didn't he show up?
After all, I'm just a student at the Ninja School. It's illogical for me to recognize a leader of a secret division, right?
So, Kazuki looked at Shimura Danzo, who looked confident and seemed to be waiting for him to bow down, and said slowly: "Who are you?"
"..."
For a moment, the atmosphere of the scene became weird.
Senju Tobirama sighed. He had already witnessed the humiliations of the Hokage's son and the Third Hokage himself, which had tested the Second Hokage's patience to the limit.
Seeing the appearance of his beloved disciple Shimura Danzo, Senju Tobirama's eyes showed a trace of despair.
With a cane and blindfolds! Who wouldn't think you were a strange pervert?
Although Tobirama thought Hiruzen was a fool...
But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is in his prime, looks very decent, serious, powerful and gentle.
But what is Shimura Danzo doing with this look?
Tobirama was silent.
"I am..."
After a long moment of tense silence between Kazuki and Danzo, it was finally Danzo who couldn't help but speak first. "I am Shimura Danzo, advisor to the Hokage and leader of the Konoha Root."
"What I say is the will of Konoha!"
"Really? I don't believe it..." Kazuki gave a sarcastic smile, his eyes shamelessly scanning Danzo. "Uncle, your appearance makes it hard for me to believe you. Don't you think that if an ordinary villager meets you at night, he will be at least scared to death?"
"Assistant Hokage, I have heard of this position..."
"But I don't know who the assistant Hokage is, and I don't know who Shimura Danzo is, especially I don't believe that the village's top leaders will be like rats, and will come to a student of the ninja school so secretly at night."
"So, are you a spy from another village, or a weirdo who likes to play pranks?"
Kazuki's expression became alert, and his eyes became dangerous.
