In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

"I know you're not satisfied with just knowing one Rasengan; you want to learn other ninjutsu!"

"But I still have to remind you, Wood Release has never been possessed by anyone since the First Hokage."

"You shouldn't be so ambitious. Focus on practicing your taijutsu and Rasengan. That's what you should be doing."

After being reprimanded by Teacher Men, Han Guang pouted, seemingly a little unconvinced.

Still mumbling.

"Who says no one possesses Wood Release? I've personally seen Danzo with a little kid, and that kid could use Wood Release..."

bass!

Namikaze looked shocked and stood up.

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Spirit of Dedication! Individual Breakthroughs!

Upon hearing Han Guang's words, Namikaze was extremely shocked.

Danzo actually had a Wood Release ninja hidden away? Nobody in the whole village knew that.

"Han Guang, are you sure your information is true?" Bo Fengmen's tone was more serious than ever before.

This is a huge issue.

A Wood Release ninja is of paramount importance to a village.

"determine."

Han Guang nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, from now on, you have nothing to do with this."

After giving some instructions, Namikaze Kazuya vanished in an instant.

"Sigh...it's really not my fault."

Han Guang sighed softly and grabbed another handful of potato chips.

After all, Danzo constantly talks about the spirit of dedication.

Han Guang felt that the other party should set an example.

Hokage's office.

Namikaze pushed the door open and entered without even knocking.

"The door."

Looking up at the person who had arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped what he was doing.

He saw that the person at the door looked serious, which meant that the other party must have something important to do.

"Lord Hokage, I have something important to report."

"Oh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened his expression.

For a door to be considered a major event, it must be something extraordinary.

“I’ve discovered that Danzo secretly trained a Wood Release ninja,” Namikaze said in a low voice.

"what?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped to his feet, his expression one of disbelief.

Did Danzo secretly train Wood Release ninjas?

Why don't you know?

"Door, is your information accurate?"

"It's true."

“Fine! This matter is no longer your concern. I will handle it personally!” Hiruzen Sarutobi assured him.

Namikaze's expression was a little strange.

This sentence sounds so familiar.

The weather was overcast in the afternoon.

Danzo was also in a bad mood.

After all, no one would be happy to have just lost 100 million.

Danzo frowned as he walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

"Danzo! The Hokage requests your presence."

An undercover officer blocked his way, his tone icy.

"You're trying to discuss war with me again?" Danzo thought with displeasure.

He always felt that Hiruzen's abilities were not up to par, and if it were him handling the situation, he would have finalized the plan long ago.

"As expected, the position of Hokage is the most suitable for me."

He sighed to himself and walked toward the Hokage Building.

But as he walked, Danzo realized something was wrong.

He discovered that several secret agents were surrounding him, seemingly on guard against his escape...?

"What is Hiruzen doing?"

Dissatisfied, he strode into the Hokage Building.

Danzo was stunned as soon as he entered the office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Tomon were all present, and the entrance was blocked by the Anbu.

"Danzo, hand over that Wood Release ninja."

Hiruzen Sarutobi got straight to the point right away.

"Hiruzen, I don't understand what you're talking about." Danzo shook his head, denying it outright.

As someone in a higher position, Danzo wouldn't be so easily fooled and reveal his true colors.

"Hand it over, and you can still lead the Roots. Otherwise, you should go back to your clan to recuperate."

"Moreover, the advisory board will kick you out."

In the field.

Danzo was filled with questions.

His training of Wood Release ninjas was something no outsider could possibly know. Even his few trusted confidants were subjected to the "Tongue Curse Eradication Technique."

So, who exactly betrayed them?

"It seems you don't want to hand it over." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked disappointed.

Then he said, "Since that's the case, then..."

"Wait a moment!"

Danzo interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I can hand it over! But I need to know where you got this information from?"

Danzo accepted the loss. But he absolutely could not let the traitor who betrayed him get away with it.

"What? You want revenge?"

"But unfortunately, I won't tell you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

If I reveal the truth, who will dare to tattle on me in the future?

If you are deceived and your power is usurped, then the loss will be the greatest.

The present moment is the best example.

"Then I have a condition!" Danzo made a final attempt to change things.

"explain."

"I recommend that Wood Release ninja to join Team 9!"

"Class 9?"

Upon hearing about this class, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with rage.

Danzo has used his power to add two people to Team 9, so Team 9 now has six people.

This is already severely over-staffed.

Now, are they going to cramm more people in?

"Danzo, have you ever seen a squad of seven ninjas?"

"I don't care how many people there are, this is my bottom line!"

Danzo refused to yield an inch.
