Sarutobi Hiruzen fell from the sky.
When he appeared on the scene, Shimura Danzo, who had put on a confident smile again, froze in an instant.
But what's interesting is that the Root, who received the order from Shimura Danzo, still surrounded Kazuki and Sarutobi Hiruzen, as if they didn't know the Hokage...
"Hiruzen, why are you here?"
Shimura Danzo hurriedly signaled the Root to stop the action, and then the villain complained first: "This Uchiha kid is too dangerous. I just want to talk to him, but he violently confronted me!"
"Threatening the village's high-level officials with force, Hiruzen, you also know how bad this is, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo expressionlessly, and then looked at Kazuki.
Although Kazuki's punch knocked Shimura Danzo down, it did not leave any external injuries, so now he looks unscathed, and even has a rosy complexion...
But Kazuki, on the other hand, not only has a pale face, but also has dried blood at the corners of his mouth, and even scratches under his eyelids.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart trembled.
How could this be a violent confrontation with Shimura Danzo? This is clearly his attempt to kidnap someone and take his eyes away, but it just failed!
"Kazuki, are you okay?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked softly: "With me here, you are absolutely safe, don't worry."
"Uncle Hiruzen, you came at the right time, I'm fine." Kazuki forced a smile and said weakly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded distressedly, feeling a little scared, but fortunately he rushed here as soon as he found something unusual.
In recent days, his youngest son Sarutobi Asuma has become a different person.
He treated his father with much more respect, which made him feel very comfortable, and he seemed to have opened up his mind in ninjutsu. At this age, he has mastered the profound changes in the nature of fire-attributed chakra, which can be regarded as a young genius.
And all of this is closely related to Kazuki...
No matter what Asuma does, he will mention Kazuki, and his words are all about his expectation of becoming a partner with Kazuki in the future.
If Shimura Danzo destroys Kazuki, Sarutobi Hiruzen dare not think about how Asuma will look at him as a father, and how he will think about Konoha and the Will of Fire!
He promised Asuma and Kazuki that he would deal with the darkness of the village...
And the result would be that the warrior who discovered that darkness would be eliminated sooner?
If it really develops like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that he will probably lose a son, and also lose a genius Uchiha boy who respects him very much...
Not only Asuma, but Sarutobi Hiruzen also gradually began to like Kazuki.
After all, Kazuki respected him and deeply understood the will of fire. Not only had he helped Asuma, but he also knew how to handle human relations.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the scene where Kazuki called him Uncle Hiruzen and lit a cigarette for him, there was a warm current in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart...
So the Hokage's anger was already kindled...
But Shimura Danzo didn't seem to realize this problem. He stared at the weak Kazuki and said in a cold tone: "This brat has learned a secret technique that allows him to increase his power several times over in a short period of time. I think this is extremely dangerous for the village. We must investigate it thoroughly!"
"Hiruzen, I know he is Kagami's descendant, so let me take him to the root. I will train him properly so that he becomes a sharp tool for Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and took a deep breath. "Go on, Danzo."
After getting Sarutobi Hiruzen's affirmation, Shimura Danzo's smile became ferocious.
"Very good, Hiruzen, have you also seen the darkness and strangeness hidden in this kid's heart?"
"He is afraid of me. I promised him to take him as a disciple, but he refused!"
"That doesn't make sense. How could a brat from the Uchiha clan refuse an invitation from the Hokage's assistant? He must have unspeakable secrets that he's afraid I'll find out!"
Danzo spoke with the confidence of someone who believed he had the situation under control, and from time to time, he cast threatening glances at Kazuki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became darker and darker.
Hiruzen glanced at the Root members that Kazuki had knocked down. None of them had received any fatal injuries, they were just unconscious, breathing softly.
Look at Kazuki. He used secret techniques to resist your pursuit, but he was still so restrained that he couldn't bear to hurt the shinobi of the village...
Mastering explosive secret techniques means being dangerous to the village? What kind of logic is this!
Don't you have any of them yourself?
If you don't trust excellent juniors, where is the will of fire in your heart, Danzo!
As for why Kazuki rejected you?
Of course, it's because I, the Hokage, took care of the juniors of the village and the descendants of my friends one step faster than you did. Do you have the right to put the blame on me!
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered and was about to walk towards Shimura Danzo but was gently grabbed by Kazuki's sleeve.
With a pale face, Kazuki shook his head slowly and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Hiruzen, I think this is probably a misunderstanding. Assistant Danzo and you are both important Konoha high-level officials. There is no need to conflict over the trivial matters of a ninja school student like me."
Then, Kazuki gave a weak smile towards Danzo.
"Assistant Danzo, if you are interested in Tobirama-sama's ninjutsu, you can send someone to inform me, and I will lend you my grandfather's scrolls..."
"I like to share ninjutsu with shinobi from the village, whether it's the Uchiha clan's Fire Release or the medical ninjutsu that I'm so passionate about. I want more Konoha ninja to learn them so they can become stronger."
As he spoke, Kazuki concentrated chakra into his palm, displaying the Senju clan's Chakra Enhanced Strength.
"Asuma and I have agreed to study the similarities between chakra control and Chakra Enhanced Strength tomorrow. We plan to write a paper on ninjutsu that could help more Konoha shinobi master this type of taijutsu."
"Uncle Hiruzen, if we accomplish something, consider Asuma and I as completing a mission..."
"We've agreed that if we get a reward, we'll use it to eat barbecue together..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing stagnated. No wonder Asuma has been reading the classics of chakra control crazily recently, looking thirsty for knowledge! If Asuma doesn't see Kazuki tomorrow...
Sarutobi Hiruzen, moved, patted Kazuki on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Go back and rest, Asuma will be waiting for you tomorrow, Kazuki."
Kazuki nodded, and even said goodbye to Shimura Danzo, and walked towards the Uchiha clan.
At this moment, even Shimura Danzo was confused.
He couldn't tell whether Kazuki was an idiot with an extremely pure will of fire or a cunning Uchiha brat.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't give him too much time to think.
After Kazuki was no longer on the scene, Uncle Hiruzen's personality did not need to be maintained, and the majestic Third Hokage appeared instead!
Shimura Danzo stared at Kazuki's departing back, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He really liked Kazuki more and more.
He had almost been kidnapped by force, and yet he spoke well of them?
This extremely stupid Uchiha, with such a talent for combat, was just suitable for being brainwashed by Shimura Danzo, and became the best blade for him to ascend to the top of the Hokage position!
But in a flash.
Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in front of him without saying a word, looking at him expressionlessly.
Shimura Danzo's heart trembled.
Although Shimura Danzo was one size bigger than Sarutobi Hiruzen in height and body shape...
But with his growth experience from childhood to adulthood and his current status, the Hokage Assistant will never be able to raise his head in front of the Hokage.
"Danzo, do you have anything else to say?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "In order to control Kazuki, you mobilized the roots that protect the village to set up a barrier to block my perception. As the assistant Hokage, are you so afraid that I, the Hokage, will see you do things?"
"How many things are you hiding from me, from the village, from the will of fire that Tobirama-sensei taught us?"
Shimura Danzo frowned and retorted: "Hiruzen, I just want to prevent unrest in the village. You also saw that Uchiha Kazuki is not a ninja who follows the orders of the village without compromise. He will even refuse the orders of me, the assistant Hokage."
"I still suggest that although he is the descendant of Kagami, he should not be taken lightly!"
"Leave him to me. I promise you, Hiruzen, I will not roughly train him to be a tool of the roots, but seriously cultivate the next Kagami..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered in his heart.
You want to train Kazuki to be the second Kagami?
Do you mean that you are a great ninja like Tobirama-sensei? Or you are the Hokage of Konoha!
Is it your turn to train Kazuki?
He's mine, mine! Only I, the Hokage, have any right over him!
