Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 41 I am the Hokage, your assistant!

"Now that you mention it, I remember we were on a mission. Since we completed the mission, there's no reason we shouldn't get paid!"

"Damn it, is that old geezer just trying to cut us off because he can't afford the money?"

"No, I have to go back and get my payment back!"

With that, Kushina turned to go find Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Chiga quickly pulled Kushina back from her impulsive act and said:

"Teacher, let's go after we've been punished. The Hokage is probably still angry right now. If he causes any more trouble and takes it out on us, it'll be difficult to deal with if he adds a few months to our paycheck."

Hearing Chiga say this, Kushina thought about it for a while and felt that it made some sense.

"You're right. After I'm out in three months, don't even think about taking away a single penny of the 100,000 taels!"

She glanced fiercely at the location of the Hokage's office, deciding to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​going to find Hiruzen Sarutobi right now.

"By the way, where should we be put in solitary confinement?"

Qianhe, thinking about the month-long seclusion ahead, asked in confusion, "I've only ever heard of a prison in the village, but never of solitary confinement cells."

"What else could it be? It's just at home, and they even deliver my meals! But speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been locked up! I'm suddenly starting to miss it a little."

Kushina suddenly let out a soft laugh, as if she was recalling some funny things from the past.

When it comes to solitary confinement, Kushina has much more experience, after all, she's caused too much trouble in the past.

When she became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she had the protection of Grandma Mito in Konoha, and no one dared to do anything to her. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi had to give Grandma Mito face.

After becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he was treated like a precious treasure, and his freedom was restricted even when he made mistakes.

To be honest, for Kushina, who was used to being free and wild, this punishment was much more severe!

However, this technique was only used when Kushina was still a genin or chunin. Once Kushina's strength rose to jonin, the term "confinement" became meaningless to her.

Who could possibly confine a Jonin to their home without causing her any harm? So Hiruzen Sarutobi decided against wasting manpower on Kushina and simply allowed her to run rampant in Konoha.

This time, however, Kushina is prepared to stay at home obediently for three months, and she is willing to accept the punishment this time.

While the two were waiting, a strange sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of wooden sticks being struck came from over.

Chiga and Kushina turned their heads in confusion and saw that it was Danzo Shimura.

At that moment, Shimura Danzo squinted his eyes, not even glancing at Kushina. Just as he was about to brush past Chiga, Danzo stopped in his tracks.

He glanced at Chiga out of the corner of his eye and asked calmly, "You must be Uchiha Chiga?"

When Murata returned from his failed mission last time, he lay on the ground cursing the person who filled out Chiga's information, wondering which bastard had added something unremarkable to the data.

Murata stopped talking only after Danzo admitted that he had said those words.

From that day on, Danzo realized that he had underestimated Uchiha Chika.

This is undoubtedly a genius!

At the same time, I thought to myself, since I can't stop Uchiha Chika from graduating, why not just bring him into Root?

In this way, as long as he successfully brainwashes himself, he will not only have planted a spy in the Uchiha clan, but he can also control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through Uchiha Chika, which is a win-win situation.

"I heard you graduated with excellent grades. Join the Roots! Only at the Roots will you have a stage to shine!"

Danzo Shimura looked at Chiga, trying his best to appear kind, but it was really hard for him to maintain that composure.

In Chiga's view, it was becoming increasingly bizarre.

Before Chiga could reply, Kushina blocked his way and said to Shimura Danzo, "I'm sorry, Chiga is an important member of my team and will not join Root."

"Hmph, personnel changes in Konoha Village aren't something a Jonin like you can decide."

Danzo Shimura glanced at Kushina sideways; he disliked this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki very much.

Chiga would certainly not agree to Danzo's invitation, but she couldn't afford to make things too tense now.

After thinking about it, I realized that I had never met Danzo before.

So, Chiga asked, "Excuse me for being so bold, but may I ask who you are?"

Danzo Shimura's originally kind face turned completely gloomy.

That's how it is. Everyone in the village, including the children, knows the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but they have no recollection of him, the Hokage's assistant.

All the honors were taken by Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving him to be forgotten and ignored.

Even today, when he was walking down the street, a kind-hearted teenager mistook him for a lonely old man and offered to help him cross the road.

Hmm. If I remember correctly, that boy was also from the Uchiha clan!

Hmph, damned Uchiha clan! Do you really think I'm such a weak and pathetic person?!

[Negative emotions from Shimura Danzo: Emotional value +50. First time receiving Shimura Danzo's emotional value, reward: Wind attribute experience +3000!]

Chiga was completely bewildered. Was this old coin crazy? Such a polite greeting, and he was still throwing a tantrum.

My girlfriend isn't even as difficult to please as you!

Danzo Shimura's anger came quickly, but it also subsided quickly.

However, he needed to think carefully before answering Chiga's question.

Assistant to the Hokage, leader of Konoha's Root, personal disciple of the Second Hokage, and successor to the Will of Fire of Konoha.

Each title made the young man before him tremble and immediately bow down in worship.

But I still want to choose the one I like best.

Danzo Shimura slowly walked forward, and under the questioning gazes of Chiga and Kushina, he reached the area directly beneath the four large characters engraved with "Hokage Building".

His expression turned serious, he gripped his cane with both hands, and said to Chiga in a deep voice, "I am the Hokage!"

At this moment, Shimura Danzo felt that he had finally reached the pinnacle of his life!

It's been a long-cherished wish of mine!

It actually happened right in front of this young man, even though it was only for a few seconds, it was enough to make me reminisce about it for years to come!

Upon hearing this, Chiga was truly shocked!

However, before Chika could even perform a second or third tremor and bow down in worship.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, tired of sitting upstairs, came down for a walk. Unexpectedly, he saw his friend announcing that he was the Hokage. He almost thought Danzo was about to launch a coup.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag of his cigarette, then puffed out clouds of smoke for a while to calm himself before finally speaking, "Hokage what?"

Still lost in his fantasies, Shimura Danzo's body trembled, his energy instantly deflated, and he muttered, "Assist!"
