Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 10 That's my man!

"Hiruzen, what brings you here?"

Danzo admitted that he was indeed startled. After all, if someone could enter the Root without a sound, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, upon seeing that the person who came was his old friend, he immediately calmed down.

Danzo didn't really like this old friend, even though they had been brothers for so many years and this old friend had even absolved him of the crime of assassination.

But he still hasn't become Hokage. Isn't that my old friend's problem?

However, he only dared to think about these things in his heart, and he was also curious about what his old friend was doing here.

"Furthermore, although what I said was a bit harsh, didn't your handling of many issues reveal your weakness?"

"Is this the problem I'm referring to?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow. He realized that Danzo was unwilling to even call him Hokage.

However, he didn't take it too seriously; he had gotten used to it over the years.

"What was your purpose in sending that child into the Dark Division? I don't want to delve into it for the sake of unity; after all, Root is the Dark Division's training base."

Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not want to investigate further?

Danzo almost blurted it out when he heard this, but reason told him to forget it, since it wasn't a big deal anyway.

"but."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment before continuing.

"Didn't we have an agreement that you wouldn't interfere in Naruto's affairs? But why are you going back on your word and letting that child contact him? Don't you think you're going too far?"

What is that?

Contact with Naruto Uzumaki?

Danzo's mind was buzzing, and he didn't react for a moment, but he soon realized something.

Was it that brat Hidezawa Shihara who had contact with Naruto?

But it seems I haven't made any arrangements in this regard, and even that brat doesn't know what Naruto Uzumaki's identity is.

"I"

Danzo opened his mouth to explain, but he quickly realized that he didn't seem to need to explain at all.

He did indeed always want the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to enter Root. In his view, something as dangerous as a Jinchuriki should stay in Root!

The Nine-Tails Night led to the sacrifice of Konoha's Fourth Hokage and a large number of elite ninjas, plunging Konoha into a state of internal and external troubles.

If the Fourth Hokage hadn't sealed the Nine-Tails, Konoha would be in an even more difficult situation if it had escaped.

Unfortunately, their old friend disagreed. After a thorough discussion, they finally decided to learn from the experiences of other ninja villages.

However, this borrowing directly led to Naruto's tragic childhood.

Only by becoming accustomed to their miserable circumstances can a Jinchuriki maintain composure and avoid being tempted by the Tailed Beasts and losing control.

But this dark life can't go on forever, and it's unacceptable for the Jinchuriki to go insane. So, to prevent Naruto from breaking down, his old friend will step in at crucial moments.

Just like a torch, it strengthens Naruto's beliefs, gives him warmth and comfort, and at the same time makes up for the consequences of his choices.

However, Danzo did not give up his idea; he just never had the opportunity.

That brat Xiuzawa had no idea who Naruto was. Whatever his purpose was in doing this, it was an unexpected surprise!

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki need to be managed. Although you have been using the Anbu to monitor them, I don't think they are more professional than the Root members."

Thinking of this, Danzo, while pondering how to investigate the situation at the time, decisively changed his story and took the blame.

"As expected, you still haven't given up on this idea."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned upon hearing this, but cursed inwardly.

specialized?

Although your root forces are good at intelligence gathering, isn't your specialty murder and robbery?

After thinking for a moment, he still tried to persuade him patiently.

"Do you know who Naruto is? Making him suffer like this is already too much. I..."

"Hmph, you really are too weak, Hiruzen!"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Danzo interrupted him.

"Of course I know who he is, but don't forget, this was also the Fourth Hokage's choice!"

"The fourth generation has already sacrificed too much, and I've always felt that it's not fair to a child."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, though not quite there, remained patient, but Danzo wasn't buying it at all and spoke forcefully.

"That's why I said you're too weak. Have you forgotten how cruel war is? Have you forgotten how tragic it is for the village to not have a qualified Jinchuriki?"

Compared to the children who were displaced or killed in the war, Naruto Uzumaki was fortunate to live peacefully in Konoha!

"That's enough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't listen anymore, even though he had to admit that Danzo was right.

The ninja world is inherently cruel. When a great war breaks out, no matter how old you are, if you are a ninja, then you are a warrior, a tool.

Otherwise, during World War III, he wouldn't have agreed to send a bunch of fresh-faced kids to fight on the battlefield.

Compared to that time, Naruto seems to be doing quite well now.

"Don't bring this up again. I won't change my mind. Naruto has suffered enough; he can't and won't join Root!"

However, he would not back down on this matter. He looked coldly at Danzo and spoke.

"Enough is enough, Danzo!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"snort."

Danzo grunted. To be honest, he was a little flustered to take the blame, after all, he had actually tried to assassinate his old friend and been caught red-handed.

Provoking him too much wouldn't be good for him, but for the sake of his dream, Danzo decided to endure it.

His dream was simple: to become Hokage. He was a step too late back then, and as a result, his dream has not yet come true.

One is to unify the ninja world. The world only needs one voice from Konoha, and that voice is enough!

Besides, he understood his old friend quite well, and he would sometimes make concessions for the sake of unity.

"but."

As expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.

"Perhaps you are right, the root still has some advantages in certain aspects, but I need to think about this matter carefully."

"Hmph, I know."

Danzo appeared very unhappy, but inwardly he was quite satisfied with his performance.

My old friend is still weak and mindful of the bigger picture, which allows me to make arrangements more calmly.

Find out the whole story of how Hidezawa came into contact with Naruto. If there are no problems, then this is a breakthrough!

"Anyway, that brat has my curse mark; he'll never be able to escape the Root."

As Danzo pondered, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly nodded.

"Good to know."

He could naturally tell what his old friend was thinking, but now that Shuzawa had joined the Anbu, Danzo could no longer make the decisions.

The Root is defined as the training center for the Dark Side, and he is confident in correcting some extreme ideas.

At that moment, the two of them had the same thought at the same time.

"That's one of my people!"
