In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

After saying that, Tianyu's cold smile deepened.

He even raised his right hand and made a "please" gesture towards Shimura Danzo.

After Tengo finished speaking, Danzo, along with Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and the others behind him, turned deathly pale.

Now they all saw it clearly.

This brat named Tenyu has actually reached the same level of strength as the former White Fang of Konoha.

However, unlike Konoha's White Fang, he did not have a strong sense of honor towards the village.

He was not a pushover like White Fang, who could be easily manipulated.

The three elders were directly rebuffed to their faces.

I felt really bad at that moment.

Capture Orochimaru?

When Orochimaru defected more than a decade ago,

Their strength far surpasses that of the three elders.

Damn it, send them to fight Orochimaru?

Orochimaru will probably just throw him to Manda for dinner, right?

At this moment, Koharu Utatane gritted her teeth and said, "Tengo, as a member of Konoha, you should naturally take it upon yourself to protect Konoha, but you deliberately let the rogue ninja Orochimaru escape. What are you up to?!"

Oh ho? Putting a label on me?

Hearing the old woman's words, Tianyu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

So they're portraying their previous actions as "deliberately letting Orochimaru go"? These people are truly masters of shifting the blame.

But... do you think I have a fragile heart like Sakumo Hatake?

"Then you've really misunderstood me~"

I'm so young, and I don't know anything about Orochimaru, how could I say that I deliberately let him go?

Besides, how could a mere Jonin like me possibly accomplish something like capturing Orochimaru?

Only the elders themselves can ensure the operation goes perfectly!

I wouldn't dare compete with you all for such a great opportunity to make a name for myself! After all, none of you have made any significant contributions since becoming elders of Konoha, have you?

Otherwise, if we never let the villagers see the strength of our elders,

They all thought you guys just stayed in the back all day eating for free!

Tianyu said in a sarcastic tone.

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and the others were about to explode with anger.

Isn't this a veiled insult implying that they haven't accomplished anything, are just occupying positions without contributing anything, and only know how to freeload?

"Don't think that just because you're strong you can do whatever you want!"

Mitomon En could not tolerate Tenyu's obviously contemptuous attitude and angrily rebuked him.

"Otherwise what? Let you weaklings do whatever you want?" Tianyu's mocking smile deepened as he slowly said, "Sorry, gentlemen, you've eaten shit."

"What did you say?!" Mitokado Homura looked incredulous.

"My lord, times have changed." Tianyu laughed heartily.

What exactly is wrong with you?

Danzo asked the question that had been on his mind ever since their last encounter.

"Why can you, a ninja of Konoha, use Ice Release Kekkei Genkai techniques? There must be a lot of secrets behind this, right? And where did that sword in your hand come from?!"

Based on the last encounter and the intelligence he had gathered during this time,

It's basically safe to say that Shimura Danzo is the one we've identified; Amagi gained his power because of the sword he wielded.

If I were to obtain this knife,

Couldn't my own strength also break through to the Kage level or above?

Thinking about this,

Danzo felt he was invincible again!

"Lord Danzo, the world of geniuses is beyond the comprehension of mediocre people."

Similarly, I advise you not to keep eyeing other people's things, otherwise you might end up losing more than you gain.

Tianyu said with a grin,

Danzo's face was ashen, revealing a murderous intent.

What did he mean by that? Wasn't he blatantly calling me incompetent? And threatening me not to even think about getting my hands on his knife?

Within just a few minutes,

Tianyu then took turns criticizing the three members of the elders.

The key issue is that the three of them have no way to refute him, nor can they find a reason for the hidden agents to capture him.

Chapter 142 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Little Plan

"Lord Hokage, is there anything else? If not, I'll be taking my leave now."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time,

Tianyu said this, then turned and left.

"Sarutobi, are you just going to do nothing?"

Shimura Danzo, who had originally planned to take this opportunity to attack Tengo, saw that his scheme had failed and Tengo had simply left so leisurely.

He could only angrily shout at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Orochimaru is still in the village. He could turn into a bomb and attack Konoha at any time. You want me to punish Tengo at this time?" Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly. "Is it really as Tengo said, that you want to go and fight Orochimaru the next time he makes a move?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words left Danzo Shimura speechless once again.

Their elders' style has always been to send their subordinates to handle troublesome matters, regardless of the resulting losses...

What does it matter if someone sacrifices themselves to protect the village?

Now, throughout the entire village,

Aside from those high-ranking members of Konoha...

The only person who still has a slight chance of defeating Orochimaru is Tengo!

The last time the Shimura family was burned down,

Both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura had investigated behind the scenes.

Although there is no concrete evidence, all signs of action point to Tianyu.

As Tianyu's strength grew,

Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt that dealing with this guy was really too troublesome.

His growth rate,

This was completely beyond Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations.

As a result, his current style of doing things has completely exceeded Hiruzen Sarutobi's control.

Didn't Hiruzen Sarutobi want to suppress him?

Of course he wants to!

But before he could make a move,

His most prized and talented disciple, Orochimaru, has returned to Konoha!

Konoha Village is currently in dire need of manpower.

Over the years, the geniuses born in Konoha have gradually passed away.

For a time, apart from Tengo, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't find anyone else who could rival Orochimaru!

Konoha, known as the cradle of geniuses, couldn't find a single capable person for a time?

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi himself and Danzo and the other elders...

Would they only take action as a last resort?

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a very rational decision.

He chose to let bygones be bygones regarding Tianyu's outrageous behavior in the village during this period.

Tengo was, after all, a Konoha ninja, and his sister, parents, and family business were all in the village.

Even if he didn't have a strong desire to be loyal to me,

However, when Konoha faced a crisis, he had no choice but to step forward and protect it.

In this way, Hiruzen Sarutobi's goal was achieved.

By making Tenmuro a powerful force in Konoha, he can effectively maintain a balance with Orochimaru and overcome this difficult situation!

Once things stabilize in Konoha...

Whether it's Tianyu's younger sister Tiantian, or their parents who are just ordinary people,

How could he possibly be a match for Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is the Hokage?

Even if Tianyu is stronger by then...

They also want to be at their own mercy!

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a very clever plan in mind.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, having been partners with Hiruzen Sarutobi for nearly half a century, naturally understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning quickly and nodded in agreement.

Danzo Shimura remained silent, his face still grim, as if he were plotting something in his mind.
