Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Chapter 105 Hiruzen, Don't Unleash Your Chakra Randomly... Tobirama Breaks Through Danzo's Defense

Tobirama Senju thoroughly enjoyed his insults.

In the past, he would have had to consider his dignity as a teacher and the students' feelings—

Even if you want to criticize Danzo, you should at least be a little more dignified and not be so direct.

Besides, Danzo has been hiding his true intentions quite well—

In the past, whenever Tobirama Senju criticized him, Danzo's attitude was always incredibly kind, almost as if he would write it down in a little notebook and repeat it day and night.

But looking at it now...

This kid is a perfect example of someone who readily admits his mistakes but resolutely refuses to change!

The double tomoe appeared silently in Tobirama Senju's eyes.

"The chakra flow in your eyes is fine, which means you're not injured—"

"Then why are you wearing bandages? Is it to make you look like you've done a great job?"

"Interesting, there's an idiot in Kusagakure who loves doing the same thing as you—" Tobirama Senju continued, "He's so stupid that he got himself killed."

For a moment, Danzo didn't retaliate because he was stunned.

For a very long time, Danzo hadn't been criticized like this in Konoha.

At most, only Hiruzen Sarutobi could treat him like that, and at most, Tsunade and Orochimaru would also be involved.

No, isn't this Uchiha brat afraid of me?

On the other side.

Uchiha Isshin, Fugaku, and the other three-tomoe warriors who rushed over were also stunned by what they saw.

The lingering resentment about not wanting to return to the Uchiha clan instantly dissipated.

That kid is really arrogant!

He brazenly stared at Shimura Danzo with his double-magatama activated, even attacking him at point-blank range—

To be honest, Fugaku and Isshin felt that they wouldn't have done something like this unless they were pushed to the limit; it was practically an open challenge, a table-flipping tactic.

"Was this also in your calculations, teacher?

Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed a laugh and walked behind Danzo, silently becoming an observer.

If other Uchiha clan members criticized Danzo like that, it would indeed cause serious problems.

But Tobirama Senju was different—

Ignorance is no excuse. This person was just rescued from Kusagakure. Does he even know who you are?

That's more in line with the character's persona.

"Kid, tell me who I am—"

"I am the Hokage's assistant and the head of the Anbu!" Shimura Danzo wanted to get angry, but he noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi had walked up behind him, so he could only hold back.

"What does 'Hokage's assistant' mean?" Tobirama Senju frowned.

He was genuinely asking the question.

Why create such a bizarre and incongruous assistant character when you can just call it Naruto?

Having advisors is enough; is this just an attempt to make oneself seem superior to others in the upper echelons?

"Naturally, it's the person who assists the Hokage—" Danzo said in a deep voice.

"I understand, so you're not the Hokage?"

Tobirama Senju nodded: "You don't seem like it either. If you're the Hokage, then I've come to the wrong village."

After these words were spoken, an eerie silence fell over the room.

The Uchiha were dumbfounded.

That brat is a real sharp-tongued devil; every word he says is like a dagger to Danzo's heart!

But don't say—

That sounds really cool!

"You brat, you'll regret what you said today!" Danzo clenched his fists involuntarily, his eyes filled with malice and rage.

If this were before, when the root of the devil was still there, he would have been caught and given a good beating by this brat every night.

Otherwise, I won't be able to get over this anger!

"Why are you arguing with a child?" Hiruzen Sarutobi placed his hand on Danzo's shoulder and said with a smile, "He's just a kid, he doesn't understand Konoha, he was just saying whatever came to mind—"

"Teacher Tobirama said that the village should be inclusive of those ninjas who do not yet understand the Will of Fire, and sincerely let them experience the warmth of Konoha—"

Danzo was taken aback and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with suspicion.

Is that saying true? How come he doesn't know it?

It sounds quite similar—

Damn it, could this be some kind of special training that Tobirama-sensei is giving Hiruzen alone?

Tobirama Senju felt a complex mix of emotions.

He confirmed that he had never said such a thing; it was Hiruzen's original statement!

"Back then, the First Hokage patiently negotiated with various ninja clans to gradually build up Konoha—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and mentioned another Hokage: "Look, you're so impatient right from the start, and with that appearance, it's normal for a young person to be scared."

"We should learn more from the First Lord, not only his spirit, but also the kindness and gentleness in his bones."

Danzo stared speechlessly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Since you keep referring to him as "First Hokage" and "Tobirama-sensei," I'm not going to talk to you anymore!

Who can say that about you?

"Don't argue with Hiruzen without being fully prepared in the future—"

"He has the right to interpret the previous Hokage's rules; this move is far too domineering—" Danzo thought to himself.

"The Hokage is so magnanimous. You see, this was just something a child said without thinking—"

Uchiha Isshin breathed a sigh of relief and came closer.

He was pondering how to get Tobirama Senju to take him away. The situation was rather awkward—

I thought this boy would be kidnapped by Shimura Danzo, but I didn't expect him to be so brave!

So calling for help is also a way of showing a tough attitude as a backup plan.

But given the atmosphere at the scene, calling these people over seemed a bit hasty, making the atmosphere quite strange.

As expected, Danzo glanced at the large number of Uchiha elites behind Isshin.

He gave a cold laugh.

Just when he had nowhere to vent his anger, a group of Uchiha walked right into his life!

"Uchiha Isshin, what are you doing bringing so many people?"

"What, don't you need to maintain your daily work anymore? The village gave the police force a raise just so you could show off in front of everyone?"

Danzo said in a sinister tone, "Once you achieve merit on the battlefield, things change immediately!"

Uchiha Isshin's face instantly darkened.

These are words that strike at the heart.

Everything else is fine, but going to the battlefield is the Achilles' heel of the Uchiha clan's future.

Danzo must not be stigmatized, otherwise all changes will be castles in the air.

It's true that Uchiha Isshin is very patient.

But some things cannot be compromised; once compromised, one will find themselves in an abyss.

"As an advisor, there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly."

Uchiha Isshin coldly replied, "We are still doing a good job with the police department. If there are any problems with the village's security, then I am willing to be the first to be punished!"

"We have only heard that the young men in our clan are unwilling to return, so our clan naturally has to take a stand."

"It's also to ease the Hokage's burden; he's already considered a lot for everyone—"

"As for the claim of merit, that's nonsense. That's just what the Uchiha should do for the village."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

The Uchiha brat is young, so I can barely tolerate being scolded a few times.

We'll settle the score later.

You, an old Uchiha, and an incredibly cunning one at that, dare to talk back to him today?

"Sharing burdens? Is this how you share burdens?!"

"What? Just because someone doesn't want to join the Uchiha, you're going to force them?"

"You said there were no problems with your work—"

"Alright, no one move now. I'm summoning the secret service to check everyone's posts. If anyone is absent, we'll investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Danzo stood his ground and didn't fall into Isshin Uchiha's logic.

Is it right to avoid problems? Is it right to stay at your post?

When facing the Uchiha, Danzo's mind seemed to work a little faster than usual.

Even Tobirama Senju couldn't help but nod slightly.

Danzo did have some redeeming qualities—

"Sir, this is the day our Uchiha clan takes in the orphans. Let's not make it look so awkward, shall we?"

"So what if it looks bad? You brought so many Uchiha, you must have been prepared, right?"

The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to yield, and drew ever closer together.

"Come on, let me see what the Uchiha are going to do—" Danzo continued to provoke, his eyes flashing with a strange light. He wished the Uchiha would make a move right now.

Uchiha Isshin took a deep breath; even someone as patient as him couldn't hold back any longer.

And at that very moment.

Centered on Hiruzen Sarutobi, a powerful burst of chakra erupted.

The chakra seemed to materialize, manifesting as a fierce current of air that made the surrounding air rustle.

Accompanied by a series of crisp cracking sounds, several deep cracks appeared in the ground, sending up plumes of dust.

Startled, Whirlpool tide took several steps back.

Danzo and Isshin were also stunned, and neither of them spoke.

"Haha—how embarrassing, how embarrassing!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled憨厚ly, scratching his head as he said, "I'm just getting old. I've been researching a new technique lately, and I suddenly gained some insights, but I didn't control it well."

"I'm thinking about how to unleash the chakra stored in the Yin Seal at maximum power, transforming it into an enhanced form to boost combat strength."

"I got so engrossed in thinking about it that I wasted quite a bit of chakra—"

That's half true and half false.

On one hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not truly engrossed; rather, he deliberately unleashed some of his stored chakra.

Otherwise, even if he could achieve such an effect by unleashing his full power, it wouldn't be as effortless as he portrayed.

If it doesn't appear casual, it won't have the intimidating effect of being profound and unfathomable.

On the other hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi is indeed researching the second stage of the "Yin Seal".

Tsunade's research in this area was quite advanced, giving Hiruzen Sarutobi some ideas.

She named it "The Art of a Hundred Healings".

By covering the entire body with cursed seals to channel stored chakra, one gains extraordinary physical regenerative abilities, even able to restore internal organs.

It's still under research, but a general framework already exists.

Isshin swallowed hard, then smiled and said, "The Third Hokage truly lives up to his title of 'Professor of Ninjutsu,' his mastery of ninjutsu is indeed vast, and your condition is getting better and better—"

"No, we're just barely managing to stay afloat—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Isshin on the shoulder: "However, Danzo is right, the daily duties cannot be changed."

"There was an accident today, but what if there's another one tomorrow?"

"There will always be unexpected events, but the enemy will not stop operating because of unexpected events—"

Uchiha Isshin quickly stood at attention, a surge of joy in his heart.

This is giving him a way out.

"Lord Hokage, I will immediately write a thorough self-criticism upon my return and assure you that such an incident will never happen again in the entire Security Department!"

"Please punish me!"

"No need for punishment. Your past work has been quite good, and this is your first offense." Hiruzen Sarutobi still had a smile on his face. "But if it happens again, we'll have to talk about this properly."

Uchiha Isshin nodded vigorously.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile was amiable and his tone was not threatening—

However, Uchiha Isshin knew that this was an even more terrifying existence than Danzo.

They don't scare people, but they're the type who can kill when they strike.

"Don't unleash your chakra recklessly, Hiruzen—" Danzo tidied his hair and complained.

But he was also deeply shocked—

Why does it feel like Hiruzen's chakra is even more abundant than in their last encounter?

What do you mean? You're not sparring with him anymore, and you're secretly improving on your own?

That's utterly despicable!

"Okay, okay—"

"But then it suddenly occurred to me, why do you always wear bandages—"

"Isn't your eye condition cured?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

Danzo gave an awkward smile: "I'm used to it—"

His eye condition has indeed improved, and the fact that he has been wearing bandages all this time was actually due to a former member of the Root organization.

That Root member said, "Konoha owes a great debt to you. You are the only one who would sacrifice everything for Konoha!"

"With these bandages on, you look even more heroic. Let those who don't understand you see the sacrifices you've made!"

Danzo thought the boy's words made a lot of sense, so he adopted them.

This trend has continued to this day.

"Bad habits need to be changed," Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Danzo.

Danzo lowered his head and said, "I understand."

Tobirama Senju silently observed Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His current persona is that of a mischievous Uchiha clan member, so directly observing and sensing the Hokage is irrelevant to him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra surprised Tobirama Senju, and his techniques were also familiar to him.

"That kid Hiruzen, he actually stole my brother's tricks—"

"Pretend to be naive and innocent, then use force to subdue others, and finally smile and give them a way out, haha!"

"I really don't know why I would learn from him—" For some reason, Tobirama Senju felt a little sour.

This is his apprentice, not his elder brother!

"But Hiruzen's chakra reserves are significantly higher than when he was younger—and it's not just about the Yin Seal—"

"He's far inferior to my elder brother, but compared to my peak—" Tobirama Senju clicked his tongue inwardly. Although he didn't want to admit it, the difference was negligible.

Perhaps it's even a little bit higher?

In the past, when he argued with Hashirama and Hashirama couldn't win the argument, he would often use his chakra to suppress Tobirama.

But in reality, it's just minor squabbles; most of it is just for show, a pretense of anger.

But when he is truly enraged, such as when Tobirama Senju insisted on dissecting Madara Uchiha.

The chakra that Hashirama Senju unleashed was like an earthquake, terrifying beyond belief.

At that moment, even Tobirama Senju thought Hashirama Senju was going to kill him—

Fortunately, Mito Uzumaki stepped in to smooth things over.

Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju felt a pang of emotion, realizing he had forgotten to ask how his sister-in-law was doing these days.

However, Tobirama Senju did not intend to meet with Mito Uzumaki before he had fully mastered this body.

Mito Uzumaki not only has strong perception, but also a strange intuition.

It caused him a lot of trouble back then, although it was also helpful in some ways.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's progress also gave his teacher, Tobirama Senju, a strange sense of urgency.

As a teacher, how can I let my students fall behind?

If he were a middle-aged man, it wouldn't matter, but having lived a second life, his potential has been greatly expanded!

It needs to be rolled up!

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly and said slowly, "How about this, I'll make arrangements for this boy. What do you all think?"

"Young man, do you agree? I am the Hokage of this village, and I will consider your situation—"

Tobirama Senju nodded, seemingly without expression.

But I felt a little uneasy inside.

Although I had long anticipated that a similar scene would occur—

However, Hiruzen affectionately called him "young man," using a tone of superior's consolation—

This taste is simply amazing!
