Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 13: Memorable Scene! (Please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to continue reading!)

"A cunning little devil, born evil!"

Danzo's voice rang out, and Hoshino Shuichi, like a startled rabbit, instantly jumped up and hid behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up. His speed was good, but the key was his extremely fast reaction time.

Does he have the same talent as Minato?

Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly made his own guess.

Danzo, his face grim, stared at Hoshita Shuichi: "Hiruzen, this Hoshita Shuichi is trying to sow discord between us!"

"I suspect he was influenced by forces outside the village!"

Hoshita Hideichi quickly spoke up: "Lord Danzo, do you dare say you didn't threaten me?"

"You've been sending Root ninjas to spy on me for a long time, haven't you?"

"The reason they recruited me at this time is because school is about to start. They are afraid that I will stand out at school and be noticed by the Third Hokage. So they want to bring me into Root before the Third Hokage knows anything about me."

"As the Hokage's assistant and a subordinate of the Third Hokage, Lord Danzo's actions are tantamount to deceiving and misleading the Third Hokage; this is tantamount to betrayal!"

"Threatening me with the villagers is a betrayal of the Third Hokage's Will of Fire!"

Danzo coldly replied, "All of this is for the sake of the village; a little sacrifice is absolutely necessary."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately retorted: "Then why wasn't it you who sacrificed yourself? It was me, who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, a poor orphan from the orphanage, the kind and gentle Director Yakushi Nonou."

"As the Hokage's assistant, and inheritor of the Will of Fire from the Second Hokage, shouldn't you be at the forefront, protecting the younger generation and the budding talents of Konoha?"

Danzo's expression instantly turned extremely ugly upon hearing this, because Hoshino Shuichi's words reminded him of the time when he lost to Hiruzen Sarutobi and failed to become Hokage.

Hoshino Shuichi's words struck a nerve, leaving him speechless and causing his murderous intent to erupt uncontrollably.

Tsunade, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying the show. Hoshino Shuichi's words were so satisfying, they had completely struck a chord with her.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Danzo erupting with killing intent, his gaze immediately darkened, and he uttered a soft shout: "Danzo!"

Danzo was instantly jolted awake and immediately withdrew his killing intent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to Hoshita Hideichi gently and said, "Hideichi, don't worry, I'll handle this."

After saying that, he said to Tsunade, "Tsunade, you take Shuichi away first!"

Tsunade was somewhat reluctant; she hadn't had enough of the show yet!

However, she wasn't stupid; she knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, so she pulled Hoshino Shuichi away.

Hoshita Shuichi scratched Tsunade's palm, then winked at her, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and silently said, "Headmaster..."

Tsunade immediately remembered, stopped and turned around, saying, "Oh right, old man, that Yakushi Nonou is a very good medical ninja. It's a waste to use her as a spy."

"Moreover, I may leave Konoha at any time."

Tsunade's voice trailed off at the end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to nod immediately: "I will transfer Yakushi Nonou to Konoha Hospital."

Tsunade nodded and walked out with Hoshino-shita Shuichi.

After the two left, Danzo immediately spoke up: "Hiruzen, Yakushi Nonou has excellent intelligence-gathering abilities..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "I've already promised Tsunade about this. Let's leave it at that!"

Danzo sighed helplessly, then added, "That Hoshino Shuichi possesses astonishingly mature wisdom. If he is not controlled and trained, he will definitely pose a threat to Konoha in the future."

"Hiruzen, Root is the most suitable place for him. Entrust him to me, and I will definitely train him into a sword no less sharp than Konoha's White Fang!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Shuichi is more suited to join the Anbu."

Compared to Hoshino Shuichi's talent, he valued his understanding of the Will of Fire more.

Moreover, what Konoha needs is not just a simple killing sword, but someone with the Will of Fire, who can pass on the precious things of their ancestors and protect Konoha.

If he weren't so old, he would want to personally teach Hoshino Shuichi.

"Perhaps Tsunade could do it; that way, we might be able to keep Tsunade in Konoha too..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi considered this in his mind, but said aloud, "Danzo, submit a copy of Shuichi's information tomorrow!"

Danzo was unwilling to give up: "Hiruzen and Hoshino Shuichi must be restrained; his thoughts are too dangerous."

"That's precisely why good guidance is needed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained unmoved: "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

Danzo turned and left.

Silence fell over the office. Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette, but the words that Shuichi Hoshino had said earlier kept echoing in his mind.

Not a single sentence is wrong.

How could he not know Danzo's ambition?

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly ordered, "Shinnosuke, go and inform Orochimaru to come see me tomorrow."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

……

Inside the snack shop.

Hoshino and two others had a late-night snack together.

Having watched a good show, Tsunade had a great appetite and was now enjoying her meal.

Shizune, standing nearby, looked worried: "Lady Tsunade, Shuichi has completely offended Lord Danzo. Won't he be in trouble later?"

Tsunade glanced at Hoshino Shuichi: "That depends on his own abilities."

Hoshita Hideichi laughed and said, "Don't worry, Shizune, I'm a genius!"

Tsunade curled her lip: "A dead genius isn't a genius!"

After saying that, her mood became gloomy.

Her younger brother, Nawaki, is also a genius.

How many geniuses have died in Konoha already?

After gulping down a glass of wine, Tsunade said, "Kid, as a ninja, being arrogant and complacent can easily lead to your death."

"On the battlefield, even a Jonin must be extremely careful."

Hoshita Shuichi humbly accepted the reminder: "Thank you for the reminder, Lady Tsunade. I will be careful."

After finishing his late-night snack, Hoshino Shuichi returned home alone and sat on the sofa to rest.

Danzo's threat has been temporarily resolved.

Yes, only temporarily.

The problem isn't truly solved until Danzo is dead.

Even if Danzo doesn't deal with him anymore, he'll still kill this old bastard.

"It seems the previous plans really need to be changed..."

Hoshino Shizuka pondered to himself.

Initially, he had no intention of graduating from the Ninja Academy early, but the results of the summer operation made him consider graduating early.

Now, he has decided to graduate from the ninja academy early.

Ninja Academy is insufficient to support the term tree!

Attention shifted to the term tree.

At this point, there were already quite a few entries on the tree that had not yet been activated.

[Fire Release Expert], [Clone Technique Expert], [Substitute Technique Expert], [Taijutsu Expert], [Ninja Tool Expert], [Medical Expert], [Talisman Expert].

These expert-level terms are very tempting, but activating them is not easy.

such as.

Entry: Doppelganger Expert

Acquisition Requirements: Mastery of at least five different clone techniques.

Effect: Increases mental strength by 100%, grants mastery of clone techniques, and allows for casting without hand seals.
