After dinner, Mu Yue pondered for a while before finally taking out a blank scroll and beginning to write Danzo's mission report.
Although, judging by the current trend, Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably ask for him soon, it was never wise to celebrate victory before it happened. He needed to ensure nothing could go wrong.
Mu Yue wrote about Hiruzen Sarutobi's inspection today, emphasizing the Third Hokage's praise and regard for him, creating the impression that the Third greatly favored and was trying to win him over.
He also included the rewards he had received afterward, using them to highlight the Third Hokage's esteem for him. Only the contents of that work assignment scroll were omitted from the report.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi did not ask Danzo for him anytime soon, this mission report could continue to maintain his image as a fiercely loyal Root ninja, preventing Danzo from stirring up trouble to some extent.
Though he was technically a ninja currently on a mission, Mu Yue did not trust Danzo in the slightest. He did everything he could to guard against potential accidents.
If the Third asked for him as quickly as he expected, this scroll would not have any negative effects. It might even prevent Danzo from secretly causing trouble for him after he left Root.
That was why Mu Yue had not included the work arrangements Hiruzen Sarutobi had told him about in the report.
If he did not write it down, then even if the mission report Mu Yue submitted this time eventually reached the Third, Mu Yue would merely have been diligently completing the mission Danzo had assigned him, rather than being a die-hard Root loyalist.
The contents of this work assignment scroll were unknown to Danzo. As long as Mu Yue did not leak them himself,
