Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 299 Holding a Small Meeting

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at his desk.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado stood beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The three of them simultaneously glared at the other two people in the office.

Uchiha Kin sat on a black chair, and Shimura Danzo somehow moved a chair over and sat opposite Kin.

The two stared at each other, their eyes meeting in a flurry of fire.

After all, the two have been at odds for quite some time.

They looked ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tugged at his Hokage hat, sensing that the two men didn't seem to respect him.

The two of them sat in chairs, as if he were having a three-way meeting.

Koharu and Homura felt like they were two lackeys.

The two were furious.

Next time, they should bring a chair too.

In the eyes of Uchiha Kin and Shimura Danzo, there was no room for anyone else; they only had eyes for each other.

As for the reason why these people are here.

After the big meeting, smaller meetings are held.

Konoha's daily routine.

Jin managed to squeeze into this small meeting by relying on his connections with two departments.

Moreover, Kim cannot be bypassed in this attack.

"I want to know what's gone from the R&D department."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.

"Didn't you already send people to scout ahead?"

Jin glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In fact, everything inside was something he had reserved in advance.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said wearily, "Let's not beat around the bush. What I'm asking you is whether your research department's secret experimental materials have been lost."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was aware that the R&D department had its own secret experiments.

After all, it's highly suspicious to seal off a research and development department with a barrier.

Although I don't know what's inside.

But it's definitely something that can't be shown to the public.

If it's something particularly dangerous, then it's even more disastrous.

He needs to know exactly what's gone inside.

Danzo Shimura had a grim face. Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who knew nothing, he was still clear about the research in the R&D department.

These were all forbidden experiments conducted by Orochimaru and a ninja named Hiruko.

However, it also contained ninjutsu research that he had commissioned.

That's something I can't say out loud.

Upon hearing this...

Jin sighed.

"It's all gone."

Of course, these are all technologies that were made public and discarded by Danzo.

The true core has not been lost.

Orochimaru and Hiruko are both very cunning.

Upon hearing his instructions, I put away all the core documents.

Hiruzen Sarutobi touched his heart; he felt an unbearable pain in it.

"Is there anything dangerous?"

"It depends on how you view danger. Most of them are in the experimental stage and don't yield any results. If they succeed, they are indeed dangerous."

Hiruko's bloodline limit transplant surgery, Orochimaru's various forbidden experiments.

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost fainted.

We shouldn't have any unrealistic expectations.

"Having caused such significant losses, I think you should relinquish your position as head of the R&D department."

"Shimura Danzo said in a cold voice."

"I'm fine with it."

Jin did not refuse outright, which immediately made the eyes of the four people present light up.

There are quite a few talented people in the R&D department.

Jin sneered inwardly. Did they think his things were so easy to take?

Now, most of the R&D department are his loyal followers. Even if he leaves, it's impossible for others to control the R&D department.

At most, it's not officially his name.

He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"But what about my contributions in protecting Konoha?"

He blocked Bunpuku from the Sand Village back then.

"Your merits will be calculated."

Mitokado Homura spoke on behalf of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Tch." Jin looked at Mitokado Homura with a mocking expression: "Trying to fob me off with useless achievements? You're dreaming."

What use are his achievements to him? His status has already been elevated to the highest level. If he goes any higher, he will really be competing for the Hokage position, just as White Fang said.

As for ninjutsu, he doesn't know what ninjutsu Konoha still has.

This kind of thing might fool other ninjas, but it won't fool him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kin Uchiha, who seemed completely unconcerned, and felt a headache coming on. Why didn't Kin Uchiha act like a ninja and take the initiative to contribute to the village?

Every time I have a verbal battle with Jin, it feels like I'm facing those nobles.

What do you want?

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked bluntly.

The other party is clearly not going to act until they see results, but the R&D department is just too tempting to be true.

Jin raised his finger.

"First, I want the position of Hokage advisor."

"impossible!?"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado instantly changed color. This position could be very important or very minor. A minor position could control the entire operation of Konoha, while a minor position could not actually do much.

The difference lies in the gap between them and Danzo.

Kim's power is not much less than Danzo's; if he continues to be allowed to run rampant, he will become completely uncontrollable.

There's really nothing we can do about it now.

But what can they do when they have an indomitable spirit?

"Then there's nothing to discuss."

Jin doesn't care anyway; he has the R&D department in his hands, so there's no real loss.

"Tell me about the second point."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, exhausted.

"Hiruzen!" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to signal the two to stop.

He has his own ideas.

A bright smile graced Jin's face.

"Secondly, I want the right to form an army."

Only in this way could he openly raise an army.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, suddenly realizing that the position of Hokage wasn't actually that important anymore.

He was genuinely tired.

Shimura Danzo and the other two stared intently at Sarutobi Hiruzen, fearing he might agree to the matter.

"Let's leave it at that for now; the good and the bad will cancel each other out."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't that confused.

"Hmph." Jin sneered.

These guys were genuinely afraid of him becoming too powerful, but no matter how hard they tried to stop him, it was all in vain.

"if."

Just as Jin got up to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke up.

"If you can kill Bunpuku of Sunagakure, you will be given the position of Hokage's advisor, and you will also be allowed to form your own army."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice."

He could accept losing some power, at the very least, to remove the biggest threat to Konoha.

"Hiruzen!" the other three shouted in unison.

If we give this away, the other party will really cause a huge uproar.

Even Danzo Shimura couldn't agree with it.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Jin got up and walked out, and as he turned his back, he curled his lip, as if to say, "You still want to use me as a knife now?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi has such a beautiful imagination.

Moreover, he didn't understand at all that the ninja world was different from what it used to be.

Sharing blessings is just the beginning.

Soon, other third layers will appear.

Moreover, it's a chakra-based internal energy version, still clinging to outdated ideas about Hiruzen Sarutobi.

They didn't realize he was being phased out by the times.

"If I kill Fenfu, does that mean I have to kill everyone else too?"

Jin gave a cold laugh.

Let Hiruzen Sarutobi kill it himself.

I reckon they'll hit me a couple more times.
