From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 61 The Pot of This World
Deep in the deepest underground prison, even at this moment, the echoes of wailing coming from far away could still be heard.

The corridor on the sixth floor below ground, on the contrary, is wide and bright.

It just adds a layer of light depression.

However, the two people standing here didn't care about this little episode and just looked at each other quietly.

"Have you not repented even now?"

"Danzo."

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, his hands behind his back, and there was a hint of heaviness in his expression as he looked at his old friend.

"It's you who should repent!"

Shimura Danzo had a cold face, but his voice was filled with anger: "If it weren't for that good student you taught, and that shrewd fellow Hatake Sakumo, who suddenly caused such a big thing, how could the two of us have come to this?"

He still thought that the speech was a "conspiracy" of Hatake Sakumo.

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he mentioned this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't stop getting angry:
"That's because you didn't know the situation. You actually sold the information about Tsunade and the others to the people of the Hidden Cloud Village during such a critical time of war?!"

"Forget about the first time, Kato Dan is already dead after all, but the second time you were caught red-handed in the village?"

He stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of the distant wailing sound, and said angrily: "Do you think I don't know? Your subordinate Bei Liuhu is still being tortured. The people of the Yamanaka family have already dug out the information in his mind!"

"Danzo, you're awesome!"

"Thirty-five million taels is such a huge sum of money, and you just take it as you say. It's ok to hire someone to kill someone, but the person you killed was someone from the same village?"

"Do you know that as soon as you put this money out, Bei Liuhu took away 10 million taels? Huh?"

Danzo seemed to have not heard anything about hiring a killer. He stood up from the stone bed and stared at him: "What do you mean by second time? I only did it once that week!"

"That matter with Tsunade has nothing to do with me!"

"Besides, the reason I did that was all for Konoha!"

"For Konoha?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, his hair standing on end. "Aren't you doing this for the purpose of 'immediately using the news of the attack by the Hidden Cloud Army to divert public opinion away from Tsunade and you'?"

Shimura Danzo's voice paused.

Obviously, the memories in Hiruko's mind betrayed him completely - these were all Danzo's original words when he was in the Root.

But who is Danzo?

After only a brief pause, his tone immediately returned to its previous calmness, and he calmly changed the topic: "So what?"

"Hiruzen, don't you realize how dangerous that brat is?"

"Although my strength has indeed declined during this period, you can still break one of my arms with your absolute advantage in just one encounter."

"Even the Third Raikage is probably no better than this, right?"

"Sahara Kiri has such ability, but he is willing to waste time in the Hokage Building until now. He has quietly passed by you countless times, but you know nothing about his strength - don't you think deeply about what he is going to do?!"

Ninety-nine percent of Shimura Danzo's tone was a threat, with only a tiny hint of instigation left.

"."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything, but just looked at him in silence.

It was not until several minutes later that he sighed:

"Sawara-kun, you're a good kid."

"Huruzen, wake up!" Shimura Danzo looked disappointed, "Since when have ninjas been able to judge based on good and evil?"

"What we have to do now is to expose his conspiracy and destroy his ambition! We must not let the village fall into the hands of such a dangerous guy!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood outside the cage, looking a little shaken, but still sighed: "But, Danzo, the noise you made this time was really too big."

"Konoha needs an explanation."

"Ah."

Danzo looked at his pretentious face and felt extremely dissatisfied: "Isn't that idiot Beiruhu enough?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head firmly:
"not enough."

"Then again"

"Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said righteously, "The people of the Root are also ninjas of Konoha!"

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo suddenly realized something and looked up at him in shock: "Wait? You haven't already taken my roots..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head away, refusing to meet his gaze.

"Only the three squad leaders."

Hearing him say that, Danzo felt relieved.

We only recruited a few high-end talents, and there was no major change. The roots can still be expanded and selected again, and everything can continue.

Then, Hiruzen continued, "Except for the three squad leaders, I picked up everyone in the Root."

".?"

For a moment, Danzo seemed to be so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a little helpless.

When he took action, he also thought that he probably would not give this guy a second chance, so he disbanded the roots and absorbed members very quickly.

However, after he saw with his own eyes the blow that pierced through the barrier with Sawara Kiri, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to feel fearful again, just as Shimura Danzo had said.

This young man is really outstanding.

To the extent that Sarutobi Hiruzen was even a little unsure whether he should be compared with his teacher who liked to develop forbidden techniques, or whether he could reach the realm of 'God' that only belonged to 'those two people'.

Konoha, will there be a second Ninja God?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought so, and hesitated at the border between "doing his best to win him over" and "eliminating him completely".

His indecision is not a problem of one or two days, but a habit developed over a long period of time.

Before he knew it, Sarutobi Hiruzen came seeking Danzo's help again like he had done before, and unknowingly and skillfully provoked him to speak.

obviously.

Danzo's reaction was very cooperative.

The two of them shared the responsibility and worked together, just as they had practiced countless times before.

There are just some minor disagreements now.

"."

"That's all."

After a long silence, Shimura Danzo finally showed weakness and said coldly, "Anyway, we just need to give those people an explanation, right?"

"Ok?"

As soon as Danzo finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly noticed that something was wrong and squinted his eyes to look at the 'Danzo' in front of him.

The next moment, a hissing sound was heard from the surface of Shimura Danzo's body, and his skin melted away like water, revealing the figure of another person.

Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, 'Shimura Danzo' turned into a thin, blond middle-aged man with sunken cheeks.

"Um?!"

"Sandaime-sama, this is the technique of receiving the body with the mind." The Yamanaka clan ninja who served as the substitute half-knelt on the ground, expressionless, "Just now, it was Danzo-sama who was communicating with you by attaching his spirit to my body."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face suddenly became long:

"What about others?"

It was not until this moment that he realized that Danzo had infiltrated this prison without him knowing, and the bastard had already escaped without his knowledge.

Hearing this, the Yamanaka Ninja stretched out his fingers and pressed his forehead, as if he was listening to something.

"Danzo-sama said to you: 'Is this all that is needed?'"

The mountain ninja repeated the story calmly, without showing any strange expression even though he knew that he was about to be traded as a 'bargaining chip'.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy:

"very good."

"."

The mountain ninja watched him go.

A few days later, news appeared in the Konoha Daily that a certain advisory elder was imprisoned and tried for suspected wartime treason.

The days that followed were so peaceful that they were almost boring. The time for Sawara Kiri and his party to set out on the expedition had already been set. Seventeen days later, they would set out with the third large group of troops.

During the rest of the time, he was spending time with Minato, Kushina, and Yayoi.

Since the barrier that blocked the Nine-Tails had not yet been repaired, he could come and go freely. However, he was often stared at by the surrounding Anbu as if he was staring at a thief, which made him feel uncomfortable.

On the contrary, his progress in learning sealing techniques was quite fast.

Kushina and Minato are both excellent teachers, and Sawara Kiri has a very targeted 'goal', so the progress is updated very quickly.

After these days of research, relying on the characteristics of the "Six Eyes", he has roughly analyzed the effects of the sealing techniques on his body - the techniques on the brain and heart have lethal effects. A part of the brain has not yet been deciphered, and the one on the heart is similar to what Obito and Rin encountered in the original work. It has a certain puppet effect, which can prevent suicide and control actions.

The ones on the tongue are relatively simple, they just control the pronunciation and respond to key words.

In addition, there is a certain degree of physical restraint, or some type of targeted punishment.

None of that matters.

According to Kushina's explanation, the first three types were of the type that had no intention of being solved once they were applied, and could only be solved by destruction, so they were very stable.

After hearing her give such a result, Sahara Kiri felt relieved.

Dog ０'s Mist Hidden.

"Well."

Sawara Kiri sat in front of the mirror, pointed the kunai at his mouth, and carefully calibrated it with the help of the six eyes and the mirror.

"laugh!"

Just a light knife.

Blood spurted out.

Along with it fell out, a complete tongue also fell out.

He closed his eyes tightly, forcing himself to endure the severe pain, while concentrating his mind and performing the "Reversal Technique" with all his strength.

After many experiments during this period, he has been able to determine that after a part of the body is severed, a large amount of chakra can be consumed to restore it.

just
This hurts so much!
Sawara Kiri forced himself to endure, and performed the "Reversal Ritual" for more than ten minutes.

Only at last did he slowly stick out his new tongue in front of the mirror.

"Hmm, hiss."

"Wait a minute, is it a little longer here? It's quite pink."

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

"Is there such a use for the reversal technique?!"

Sawara Kiri was muttering to himself, expressing his unhappiness here and there.

The face reflected in the mirror was filled with a smile that was so bright that it was completely uncontrollable.

There were no traces of the sealing technique on his new tongue.

Apparently, this approach works!

Although he didn't dare to operate on his heart or brain for the time being, Sawara Kiri at least knew how to solve the problem.

Just as he was sticking out his tongue in front of the mirror, he suddenly heard the sound of a door closing downstairs.

Sawara Kiri's movements suddenly stopped, and he quickly cleaned up the blood splattered in the room.

However, when he walked down the stairs excitedly, he saw Yukie Sahara walking into the entrance with her head down, all dirty, with some blood stains on the left side of her body.

"Yuki-e?"

Sahara Kiri was startled when he saw this, and quickly took a few steps forward to check her injuries: "Isn't it a patrol mission today? Are you injured? "

"No, it's okay. I wasn't hurt."

Sawara Yukie raised her head, a forced smile appeared on her cat-like face, then lowered her head again, completely losing her usual lively energy: "There are a few stray ninjas who set up an ambush within our patrol area."

"Mishima, you've been caught in an explosive trap."

"Dead."

"."

Sawara Kiri was stunned when he heard this, and the joy in his heart was suddenly dispersed.

Looking at the girl's helpless, frightened, and forced self-control, he was silent for a while, then cautiously reached out his hand and stroked the girl's head.

Just this somewhat cautious comfort was enough to make Xuehui inexplicably break down her defenses. She immediately buried her head in his chest, tightly grasping his clothes. Her body twitched slightly, but she was choking with sobs and couldn't even cry.

"fog"

After all, he is still just a twelve-year-old child.

But that's the world of ninja.

Killing others and being killed by people around you are two hurdles that most ninjas have to go through.

Even those who could hold back their tears until they got home like Yukie were a minority. Most people would cry out loud on the spot like Shikamaru did when he saw Asuma die in battle, or cry while fighting.

These are all signs of an 'immature' ninja.

There was nothing Sawara Kiri could do at this time. He could only comfort her carefully and wait for her to recover.

After venting my emotions, I would take a nice bath, eat a big meal made by my brother, and then endure the long night until I could no longer hold on and fall asleep in a daze with a nightmare. I would repeat this several times.

It's almost 'mature'.

This is ninja.

Even for someone like Sahara Kiri who was able to remain calm and cut off his own tongue under the pressure of the unknown, fear and pain, it was not something that could be achieved in a day.

“It’s a terrible profession.”

That night, the two people from the Sawara family tossed and turned.

Sawara Kiri suddenly had a subtle sense of reality that her adopted sister was also a ninja.

It's not that he hadn't noticed it before, but that the previous Sawara Kiri had focused all his attention on his own survival and had neither the ability nor the qualifications to care for the people around him.

Even if there is, it is just fake.

But now, he seemed to suddenly have this degree of leeway.

There are also more ways to deal with things.

Connections, strength, public opinion, and influence.

What should I do if I want to keep this child safe?
Send him to Tsunade to learn medical ninjutsu?
Safety should be no problem. Whether or not one can learn is not the point. The point is to delay until he returns from the war. It would be best if he does not have to leave the village during this period.

Besides this, there are dangers in the village.
It is now the Second World War, and Konoha's early heritage is still there, and the village still has many preferential treatments for young people.

Recently, the patrol routes of Xue Hui and her team have been relatively safe. In the past few months, they have only encountered some bandits. Most of the mission ratings are C-level, and there have never been any accidents.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any wandering ninja who would be so bold as to break into the edge of Konoha, let alone set up an ambush with an explosive talisman array.

Who ordered them to come here to cause trouble? Are they trying to save their lives?

He sat quietly beside the bed, thinking this in his heart.

"Seventeen days, the third batch, I wonder how long it will take for them to come back?" Sawara Kiri muttered silently.

Unconsciously, the confidence brought by his strength was breaking through his cautious thinking as an undercover agent in the Hidden Mist. The seal of the tongue that he cut off with his own hands not long ago seemed to have inadvertently severed his cautious nerve.

Armed with a sharp blade, the murderous intention arises.

"pity."

"I was just trying to survive, so I was too careful."

"We should have eradicated the problem at the earliest."

Sawara Kiri let out a low breath, put on his clothes, and covered his face casually.

He was going out for a walk.

(There is basically no emotional drama between Lin and Kakashi, what a pity↑)
