Uchiha: Starting from Imprisonment of Tobirama

Danzo Shimura stared at his back. He had already hated this man. Not only was he one of the obstacles in his ascension to the position of Hokage, but he was also Sarutobi Hiruzen's loyal dog.

If you can't offend Sarutobi Hiruzen directly, then clip his wings first!

"It won't do the village any good to treat the roots like this!"

Shimura Danzo was still making his last effort, shouting angrily: "Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and responded very smoothly.

This conversation has been played out countless times during the decades that the two have worked together.

Shimura Danzo turned away, furious.

But after taking two steps, he seemed to feel something was wrong.

This isn't the Hokage's office, there's no door for him to slam...

If he didn't break something, he would have no way to vent the pent-up anger in his heart!

"boom!"

So, Danzo Shimura threw his crutches hard to the ground, snorted in protest, and left quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo who was having a bad temper, but shook his head and chuckled.

"You are still so innocent, Danzo. If you haven't made any progress, how can you surpass me?"

"However, he did remind me that I should consider the candidates for Asuma and Qingshui's teachers... Asuma suggested Tsunade to me, and she is a good choice, but I still need to consider it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought.

Choosing a teacher for Asuma and Qingshui is not a simple matter in the context of the master-disciple inheritance of the Hokage series...

Chapter 60: Konoha White Fang's Uncompromising Considerations for Inheritance

Konoha.

root.

Hatake Sakumo held White Fang in his hand and stood at the forefront of the Anbu team, checking all areas of the Root.

The gloomy and terrifying Root is the most mysterious building and area in Konoha.

Ordinary jonin were reluctant to get too close to here, for fear of attracting the attention of Shimura Danzo and bringing about unnecessary disaster.

But tonight, Konoha White Fang, who received orders from Sarutobi Hiruzen, led the Anbu ninjas to tear open the mysterious veil.

The so-called Root is nothing more than a detachment of the Anbu.

It was only under the indulgence of Shimura Danzo that the Root used the power of the group to abuse individuals, and established his personal prestige through this behavior, which was essentially bullying...

The Anbu led by Hatake Sakumo and the Root ninjas who were still resisting could not stop them at all.

Thus, the secret of the root was completely torn open.

The door of a laboratory was opened, and Orochimaru walked out slowly. He squinted his eyes and looked at Hatake Sakumo with his white fangs raised. He frowned and thought to himself:

"Did Shimura Danzo accidentally anger the old man? Why would he be so disrespectful to him and suddenly let Hatake Sakumo lead the team to attack the Root? This force is quite strong..."

"It's troublesome. It's not easy for me to deal with this guy..."

Hatake Sakumo stood in front with an expressionless face.

The order Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him was very clear: don't bother with Orochimaru if you meet him.

Orochimaru crossed his arms, glanced at the Anbu ninjas who had searched the Root thoroughly, and said slowly: "Everyone, this is my laboratory, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Sakumo, what do you want to find? Maybe you can ask me..."

"Orochimaru, I have received orders from the Sandaime-sama to conduct a thorough sweep of the Root. Please get out of the way."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite disciple, Orochimaru's face is still useful to most Konoha ninjas.

But to Hatake Sakumo, he is no different from ordinary people.

Orochimaru looked dangerously and stuck out his tongue, licking the corner of his mouth.

In the laboratory behind him, there is not only a complete set of experimental data on Hashirama's cells, but also the only successfully degraded product at present -

The "Armor" of the Root is the first Wood Release Ninja created by Konoha, that is, the Yamato of the original time and space.

Due to the appearance of Aosui, Danzo Shimura concluded that he would get a better Sharingan, so he did not hide Yamato from Orochimaru, but used him as material for researching a stronger Wood Release.

"Sakumo, I am the Sandaime's apprentice."

"I only follow the Hokage's orders."

Hatake Sakumo confronted Orochimaru and did not give Orochimaru any face at all.

In his opinion, what's the matter with being the Hokage's apprentice? Nothing special.

He has been so ruthless in his crackdown on the Root, and even offended Danzo Shimura. How could he still be afraid of Orochimaru, who has suffered a defeat?

Orochimaru's face looked a little embarrassed, and his pupils stood up like snakes.

No, could you just say a few polite words?

If you ask me to move aside, I will move aside. Wouldn't it be very embarrassing for me, Orochimaru?

"In that case, I, Orochimaru, will remember this matter."

Although he felt somewhat indignant, Orochimaru still gave way willingly. What else could he do?

Hatake Sakumo led a large group of Anbu, and was ordered by the Hokage to search...

Orochimaru stared at the ANBU swarming in and shook his head.

Orochimaru was not sad even though he lost the Wood Release Ninja "Armor" and Hashirama's cells, these seemingly precious research materials.

In recent research, Orochimaru discovered that although Wood Release is indeed a very powerful bloodline limit, it is not much stronger than the average bloodline limits in the ninja world.

Its biggest feature is that it has a special attack effect against the tailed beasts.

But in today's Konoha, there is still the Uzumaki family's Diamond Seal, which is no less effective than the Wood Release against the tailed beasts.

However, when it comes to fighting against ninjas, Wood Release does not have much advantage.

Konoha has always wanted to recreate the power of Hashirama Senju by recreating Wood Release.

But Orochimaru thinks:

The reason why Hashirama Senju is so powerful is due to many factors including his chakra, physique, Sage Mode, etc. Wood Release is just one of the links and not the fundamental decisive factor.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and allowed the Anbu to search through his experimental data and take away "Armor".

Wood Release was no longer what he needed.

"Old man, do you know what I did in the Root? Hatake Sakumo's attitude is not normal."

"War is so ruthless, the human body is so fragile, and so is the relationship between master and apprentice. If you want to transcend the constraints of this world, you still need immortality..."

Orochimaru already felt himself drifting away from Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha.

For Orochimaru, who wanted to pursue immortality, he gradually came to see this bond as a constraint and a burden.

#

And in the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who received the report from Hatake Sakumo, had the same feeling as his beloved disciple Orochimaru.

His most valued disciple in the past had become inseparable from Shimura Danzo, and had gradually begun to lose his bottom line in doing things, and was unwilling to even maintain the Will of Fire for show.

Originally, among Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya's three disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen was most optimistic about Orochimaru.

He is calm and talented in doing things.

Whether it is personal combat ability, command ability on the battlefield, or village management ability, they are all top-notch.

But the problem is that Orochimaru's heart is no longer on the same line with Sarutobi Hiruzen...

Therefore, the stronger his abilities became, the more troubled the Third Hokage became.

"Sakumo, take this child to the Anbu to train him, cancel the name of Jia, let him forget everything in the Root, and live in Konoha under the name of Yamato..."

"I'll do it right away, Sandaime-sama."

After Hatake Sakumo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again thought about who would be the teacher for Asuma and Aomizu.

Apparently, after this incident with the Root, Orochimaru was no longer on his radar.

Therefore, the remaining options were Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Jiraiya's apprentice Minato Namikaze.

"Minato's qualities and abilities are very good, but the problem is that Qingshui's abilities are so outstanding, and Minato's seniority is a bit low..."

The current Minato Namikaze has just reached adulthood and is not yet the yellow flash who made a name for himself in the Third World War.

When choosing teachers for Qingshui and Asuma, Sarutobi Hiruzen selfishly thought about the status issues brought by seniority...

Seniority-based promotion is an objective phenomenon even in the world of ninjas with extraordinary powers.

"Then there's only Tsunade and Jiraiya..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. These two disciples were both a headache.

One was heartbroken by the war, lingered on the brink of self-abandonment, and hadn't practiced seriously for a long time.

One of them has his heart trapped by a toad, and keeps yelling incomprehensible words like "Son of Prophecy" all day long. He went to Myoboku Mountain two days ago and hasn't come back yet.

"Let's wait for Jiraiya to come back and talk to him first..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. These disciples really gave him a lot of worry.

But when he thought of Qingshui and Asuma, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on the Hokage's face again.

What two wonderful children!

They hadn't even graduated from the ninja school yet, but they worked together to find some dirty laundry at the Root and dug out the Wood Release Ninja hidden in the Root.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hummed a little tune from the Warring States Period and leisurely read the documents.

And at Qingshui's house.

His master, Tobirama Senju, looked extremely serious as he was negotiating with Qing Shui...
