Danzo sprang to his feet in agitation when he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words!
"Hiruzen! I still think Makoto Ito would be better off being trained by Root! Just think about those three fine disciples you trained! Orochimaru has already defected from the village!

Hinata said nothing...
Ino pouted and said,
"It's because we're being assigned to different classes today that I'm unhappy. Who knows whether we'll end up in the same class? If we do, then that's fine. But if we aren't in the same class, we probably
