Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 11 Complaining! (Please vote and give me your monthly tickets to continue reading)

As night fell, Hoshino Shizuka dragged his tired body home.

He didn't have much time today, so he only made 3 explosive talismans and earned 600 taels.

If it's just about eating, this is enough for him to have 25 meals.

For an average person, this should be enough for 100 meals.

Since learning how to make explosive tags, including today, he has earned 4000 taels.

"Let's give it our all in the last four days, then we can go on a big shopping spree and buy more ninja tools."

Hoshino Shuichi was secretly making plans, but as soon as he opened the door and returned home, he sensed that something was wrong.

"Who?"

Hoshino Hideichi let out a low shout and then tried to retreat and escape.

But as soon as he moved, a terrifying force pressed down on his shoulder, rendering him unable to move.

A burly man appeared behind him.

"Don't be afraid, we are from Root, Lord Danzo wants to see you!"

The figure wearing a fox mask in front of the entrance hall spoke.

Hoshino Hideichi's heart sank, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, we weren't going to kill him.

The hand on his shoulder had been released, and Hoshino Hideichi took a step forward.

Why did Danzo come looking for me?

Because of the hospital director and pharmacist, Nonou?

Or is it because of oneself?

Have we been under surveillance for a long time?

What kind of response should we take?

Naïve? Or a genius?

In a flash, a series of questions flashed through Hoshino Hideichi's mind.

As he passed through the entrance hall, he saw Danzo sitting on the sofa in his living room.

The right eye was covered by a bandage, but the right hand was clearly normal and not wrapped in a bandage.

"Lord Danzo!"

Hoshino Shuichi calmly bowed in greeting.

Danzo looked at Hoshino Shita with admiration in his eyes and said, "You are excellent. The Ninja Academy is no longer suitable for you. Root is where you belong. It can unlock your potential, allow your talents to be fully utilized, and enable you to better serve Konoha and become a hero who protects Konoha!"

Hoshita Shuichi bowed again: "Thank you very much for your high regard, Lord Danzo."

"If the Third Hokage allows, I would be very willing to serve Lord Danzo and become a member of Root, since Root's elite forces are second to none in Konoha."

Danzo's gaze sharpened: "It seems that Yakushi Nonou has taught you quite a bit."

"You're very smart!"

"But you don't need to worry about Hiruzen; Root is also part of the Anbu."

Hoshita Shuichi kept his head down and said respectfully, "Lord Danzo, I am now a student at the Ninja Academy. The Third Hokage is the principal, so I am a student of the Third Hokage."

"I must obtain the Hokage's consent and permission before I can graduate early from the Ninja Academy and then join Root to serve Lord Danzo."

"presumptuous!"

"You brat, how dare you refuse Lord Danzo!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out, and Hoshino Hideichi felt a terrifying killing intent envelop his entire body. His hair stood on end involuntarily, and a sense of fear arose from the bottom of his heart.

For the first time, he felt that killing intent was a real thing, and that it could create a terrifying psychological deterrent for enemies.

My back was covered in cold sweat, and beads of sweat were unknowingly trickling down my forehead.

Hoshita Shuichi bit his tongue, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "Lord Danzo, if I had agreed to serve you without the Third Hokage's permission, it would be tantamount to betraying the Third Hokage."

"If I can betray the Third Hokage today, then I can naturally betray Danzo in the future."

"I don't think this was your original intention."

Danzo stared at Hoshino Shuichi, his admiration growing stronger.

At this age, in this situation, to be so organized and calm is something that, in the past, perhaps only Orochimaru could compare to.

He wanted Hoshino Shuichi more and more than ever.

"very good!"

Danzo slowly rose and walked past Hoshino Hideichi: "Serving me is serving Hiruzen."

"Furthermore, your Dean Pharmacist Nono is also a member of Root. You were born to belong to Root."

"So Hiruzen won't stop it."

Danzo paused, having already reached the door, and continued, "Besides, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your Dean, Pharmacist Nonou, would you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo had already left.

Immediately afterwards, the two Root ninjas in the room also disappeared without a sound.

The terrifying killing intent receded like a tide, and Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but gasp for breath.

Those damned Danzo bastards have no sense of martial ethics; they actually bullied a little kid like him.

Moreover, today's scene was not something he had anticipated.

Danzo's appearance at this time is most likely due to his significant progress during the summer vacation.

What should I do?

Wiping away his sweat, Hoshino Hideichi closed the door and headed to the bathroom.

Wash up.

Cooking to fill our stomachs.

Hoshita Shuichi had also thought it through enough.

After clearing away the dishes, he immediately went out.

Regardless of whether the Roots were still watching him, Hoshino Shu continued towards the bustling streets of Konoha.

He quickly found Tsunade in an izakaya, and next to her was Shizune.

Fortunately, it's still early, and Tsunade isn't drunk yet.

"Shuichi!"

Shizune was quite surprised to see Hoshino Shuichi.

"Mute!"

Hoshita Shuichi greeted her with a smile, then bowed to Tsunade in front of the table: "Hello, Lady Tsunade, I am Hoshita Shuichi."

Tsunade glanced at Hoshino Shizuka and said, "Kid, I know you. Shizune said you're a genius."

The person next to her blushed immediately.

Hoshino smiled at Shizune, then said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, I would like to ask you to take me to see the Third Hokage."

"Um?"

Tsunade became interested: "Why?"

Hoshita Shuichi revealed everything: "Just now, Danzo, the leader of Root, broke into my house and invited me to join Root."

"What?"

Shizune exclaimed in surprise, "Shuichi, you...!"

"Lady Tsunade..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tsunade glared at Shizune, silencing her.

Tsunade's eyes flashed with disgust, but she said with a half-smile, "Danzo is the second most powerful figure in Konoha, and Root is also very strong!"

Hoshita Shuichi declared righteously, "But I am a student of the Ninja Academy, and the Third Hokage is the principal of the Ninja Academy, so I am the Third Hokage's student."

Tsunade scoffed, "So you're saying you're still my junior brother?"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately seized the opportunity: "If Lady Tsunade doesn't mind, of course I will."

Tsunade remained silent, took a sip of her drink, and snorted softly, saying, "You said it yourself, you're a student at the Ninja Academy. If you don't want to, Danzo won't dare to do anything to you."

"Don't worry, even if Danzo tries to take you, the old man won't give you up."

Hoshita Hideichi quickly said, "But Danzo threatened me with the orphanage and its director, Yakushi Nonou."

Tsunade paused, her hand holding the wine glass still, her mood instantly turning extremely bad.

She could ignore the disgusting things Danzo did, but it was like being presented with a pile of excrement, so disgusting that she couldn't bring herself to drink it.

Setting down her wine glass, Tsunade's expression finally turned serious.

Meanwhile, Shizune looked at Hoshino Shuichi with great concern, and hesitated several times before speaking to Tsunade.

Looking at Hoshino Shita Shuichi, Tsunade asked, "What do you plan to do when you see the old man?"

Hoshita Shuichi blinked: "Lady Tsunade, I'm still a first-year student at the Ninja Academy, and I'm not even six years old yet."

"My parents died fighting for Konoha, so the Third Hokage, who is also the principal of the Ninja Academy, is my parent."

"Now that I've been bullied, shouldn't I tell my parents?"

"Shouldn't the Third Hokage stand up for me?"

What is the most powerful trick a child can use?

Tell on me!

Tell the parents!
