I sell sweets in Konoha

Although it looks closest to daily life.

But in fact, due to the height, it is more like a patio, and there is not much sunshine every day.

Therefore, Danzo also needs to seize the little time in the sun to rest.

Resting is simple. Just lie down on a wicker chair and take a sip of tea to moisten your throat.Then~ it’s the snack time that he’s been looking forward to the most.

As the leader of the root group, Danzo's work schedule is naturally stricter than that of other ANBU.

At least when you're at base you won't be tasting snacks outside of snack time.

Very strict...

"Well... it's strawberry cake today." Danzo's remaining eye glanced at the cake placed next to him.

Not bad, very good.It is a very luxurious thing to eat strawberries during this season.The cake has evolved from the earliest and simplest chiffon cake to the current cream cake with more complex styles and more varied flavors.

Danzo took a fork and carefully inserted the strawberry from the cake and placed it on the side of the plate.

It's not that he doesn't like eating.

Just save your favorite things for last.

In this way, this snack has a beginning and an end.

And the taste of strawberry...

Gently cut off a piece of cake.

There must be a combination of cream and cake. Danzo has always felt that eating cake alone or eating cream is really too low.

Since the two are combined together, it must have its own unique taste and enjoyment.

You must learn to taste and enjoy the most wonderful taste to be worthy of this cream cake!

So~

He hated the behavior of the old monkey in Sandai who first ate the strawberries, then licked the cream clean, and then ate the bread.

"Hmph!" Danzo said, squinting his only remaining eye: "Sandai... That old monkey is really wasting his cake."

Danzo looked at the small piece of pink cream, white cream, and golden cake in front of him, and put it in his mouth with satisfaction.

"Oh...."

This is a cry and admiration from deep within.

No matter how many times or how many pieces I eat, I still feel that this moment is simply amazing!Subharsh!There may not be a more enjoyable time in the world than this time.

What comes into your mouth is the sweetness and thickness of the cream. This essence extracted from milk concentrates the essence of milk to the greatest extent possible and does what milk cannot.

Fluffy and silky, it is like the gentle breeze blowing on your face, bringing the gentlest and warmest caress.

As for the strawberry cake, the cream naturally lives up to its reputation as 'strawberry'.

The sweet and sour taste of the strawberry has already penetrated into the depths of the cream, making the cream lose its greasy feeling and the extremely sweet taste.

What’s more is the fragrance and refreshing taste of fructose.

Slightly sour but not too unappetising.

There is a hint of sweetness in this slightly sour taste, which is even more perfect after being filled with the fragrance of cream.What follows is the softness of the cake.

This is no ordinary fluffy!

This is sand soft.

Soft and lacks stickiness.

If you use pasta to describe it, it is not qualified because it is not tough enough and lacks chewiness, and the soft texture means that it lacks plasticity and is not easy to shape.

What was supposed to be a disadvantage turned out to be an advantage here.

And the soft sand is not the kind of loose soft.

It is soft yet tough, tough yet soft, soft yet soft at the same time.

This is not about striking a middle ground between softness and toughness, but finding a way in between.Maybe they all have a little bit of it, but more of them have their own characteristics and brilliance.

This soft and sandy texture is combined with a sweet and fluffy feeling, mixed with the mellowness of cream and the sweetness of fruit.

This feels...

a!

So let’s talk~

The third generation old monkey...

Do you know how to eat cream cake?

Eat it slowly, enjoying the real touch of the last piece of strawberry.

Hmm...awesome!

It seems that any ingredient that passes through Junko's hands seems to have been imbued with some kind of magic, and has a more real and colorful taste than the ingredients she has ever eaten.

Ah...this is simply...

"Danzo-sama." Suddenly an ANBU said: "It's time for you to weigh yourself."

that's terrible!

Danzo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the very ignorant subordinate who appeared at this time.

He was annoyed and wanted to get angry, but he quickly endured it.

"Oh..." Danzo half-closed his eyes again and said, "Is it this time?"

It’s time for my prescribed exercise again.

To start your workout session, weigh yourself once and record it.In this way, every time you exercise, you can see that your weight is gradually returning to what it was before.

That's great.

It also greatly promotes motivation for exercise.

But just...

"Tomorrow..." Danzo said calmly: "Bring me another piece of cake for the old man! Well, here's a glass of iced Coke. By the way, there are also potato chips and chocolate."

Lazy cancer attack...

The first time Danzo heard this word was from Junko's mouth.

It's a perfect way to describe myself.

Even though I know it, I still can't get enough energy.

Why...why is this happening?

Danzo raised his head and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, thinking deeply.

Did the advent of peace lead to a significant reduction in external pressure?Is it because people in Konoha are thinking about making money to make their lives higher, which leads to greater internal stability?

Well...these two reasons greatly reduced the ANBU's workload.

Even some Anbu responsible for monitoring the security in the village can go to work and fish.

This...this is not a good sign.

only...

"Are you getting old..." Danzo closed his eyes, enjoying the warm sunshine shining on himself.

As I get older, my mental energy has some deficiencies.A successor has been arranged for the position I most want to occupy. She is young, seductive and energetic.

I might be able to survive the third generation of that old monkey, but I can no longer survive this successor.

"Hey..."

Danzo sighed.

Maybe...maybe I'm really old...

The old ones may not be able to bear this burden anymore.

Danzo once thought that it was the illusory tenderness brought by these snacks that made him fall, but... but gradually Danzo discovered it.What really made him fall.

It's not these snacks, it's the longing for sunshine deep in my heart.

This place was not built for this enjoyment.

This was already there when the base of the roots was built.

Danzo often stood here and looked up at the sky, not wanting to be swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

Can...

But what can I do if I don’t want it? I walk into the darkness and long for light.But those who fall into the darkness will eventually be swallowed by this darkness. Gradually, Danzo can’t remember when he started to hate this place. He is unwilling to stand here, begins to reject the sunlight, and begins to lose his own Target.

The old agreement is gradually no longer clear, and the best comrade-in-arms has become his political enemy.

It has even become the biggest obstacle to his advancement.

They turned against each other and hatched a conspiracy, but it was eventually exposed.Although my friend did not use this incident to eradicate himself, he estimated that the friendship in the past would be dealt with lightly.

But Danzo himself knew that from that day on, he and his old friend had come to an end.

The friendship is no longer there, and so is the oath.

The rest is a scheming fight...

But since when did the relationship between him and his old friend gradually warm up again?It seems to be from when that girl appeared, right?

At first, I was just curious about what was so special about this girl’s snacks.

But it was from that curiosity that I fell into this sweet and gentle land.

Who would have thought that the spy chief who knows the darkness best, the deepest darkness, the coldest and most ruthless one, actually has softness in his heart?A person who is deeply in darkness and thinks of himself as darkness longs for light the most?

When I stood here again for the first time, I felt the sun piercing my skin like the tip of a needle.

He drove himself back into the darkness as if he was disgusted.

But now, when I return to the sunshine again, I feel the embrace of open hands. It is the most passionate and true emotion, and it is also the most gentle and beautiful experience.

These...

These are enough to melt the heart of his spy chief! ! !

From the sun into the darkness, and from the darkness into the sunshine.

There really was no one who wanted this more than him.

but...

but...

But the roots of Konoha always need someone to support them!Because of these roots, the big tree can stand on the earth and grow.

so...

There is always a need for someone to stand in the darkness, and this person...

"Sir, what you asked for has been delivered."

Danzo was awakened from his reverie by an ANBU.

'Hmm...' Danzo opened his eyes and looked at those things.

'I also want to retire!That old monkey from the third generation! '

'Do you know what I want most? '

★ Even if you are a genin for the rest of your life★

Chapter 221 Heart of Shadow, Journey of Shadow

When sunlight hits the room.

The third generation twisted his body, which had become somewhat stiff.

Perhaps for others, this first ray of morning light means the beginning of a new day, another beginning of work and harvest.For the third generation, this first ray of morning light only means the end of yesterday and the unfinished government affairs at hand.
