Danzō Takes Action

While watching the chat among the big shots in the group, Makoto Ito walked towards the barbecue restaurant with Naruto Uzumaki and the others...

After all, Makoto Ito was quite interested in some of the gossip about these big shots. There were even some things that he didn't know even after reading the original work. After all, the original work didn't mention that Madara Uchiha had played in the mud with Hashirama Senju when they were kids!

Makoto Ito imagined the cold-blooded Madara Uchiha urinating in his mind! After urinating, he would squat on the ground and play in the mud... Just thinking about it was hilarious!

Thinking of this, Makoto Ito couldn't help but chuckle...

Naruto and the others were a little curious, wondering what was making them laugh for no reason.

"Cheng! What are you laughing at? Did something funny happen? Tell us, let's all have a laugh!"

Sasuke, though not asking any questions, had already quietly perked up his ears...

Sakura Haruno was also quite curious and looked towards Makoto Ito...

Makoto Ito simply put his hands behind his head.

"I've thought of something interesting. Your teacher, Kakashi Hatake, I heard he was once the Fourth Hokage's student. Many people in the village know this, right?"

Sasuke Sakura Haruno nodded, but Naruto Uzumaki. He had no idea that Kakashi Hatake, who didn't seem to be very strong, was actually the Fourth Hokage's disciple. So, the Fourth Hokage must not be very good at teaching such a disciple.

It's no secret that Kakashi is the Fourth Hokage's student; many people in the village know it. Only simple-minded people like Naruto wouldn't know such a thing...

Sakura Haruno asked with some curiosity.

"Even if Kakashi is the Fourth Hokage's student, what does that have to do with your laughter just now?"

Meanwhile, Makoto Ito slowly spoke from the side...

"That's a huge deal! The Third Hokage had three disciples, as you all know, the legendary Sannin were famous throughout the Ninja World. One of them was named Jiraiya! The Fourth Hokage was Jiraiya's disciple, and Kakashi was the Fourth Hokage's disciple. You guys are Kakashi's disciples, and now I've become the Third Hokage's disciple. So shouldn't you all call me your ancestor now?"

All three were somewhat confused by Makoto Ito's words. What was this about "you're my disciple, I'm your disciple, and who's whose grandmaster?" For a moment, none of them could process this. How had Makoto Ito suddenly become their grandmaster?

However, after carefully considering this absurd relationship, the group realized that the Third Hokage was Jiraiya's teacher, Jiraiya the Fourth Hokage's teacher, the Fourth Hokage was Kakashi Hatake's teacher, and Kakashi Hatake was their teacher. This meant that Makoto Ito and Jiraiya of the same generation, meaning that in terms of seniority, Makoto Ito was their ancestor?!

After Sakura Haruno realized what was happening, she was completely dumbfounded...

Sasuke Uchiha grinned as well, after all, the generational hierarchy was just too messed up!

Naruto realized what was happening too!

"You bastard, Makoto! After all that talk, you're just trying to take advantage of us!"

Makoto Ito shook his head...

"No, no, no, how can this be considered taking advantage? I'm just telling the truth. Come, come, my dear grand-disciples, call him Grandmaster!"

[Tobirama Senju: Kid, according to you, you should call me Master! Why don't you call me Master?]

[Makoto Ito: Will you give me a reward? If you give me a reward, I'd call you my grandmaster!!!]

[Madara Uchiha: How shameless!]

[Minato Namikaze: For no apparent reason, I suddenly have a senior martial uncle...]

[Tobirama Senju: Fourth Hokage, if you go by that logic, I'm actually your grandmaster~]

Minato Namikaze: Uh...

[Hashirama Senju: You guys are so interesting! But after all that, I'm still the oldest in terms of seniority!!!]

[Makoto Ito: First Hokage, don't worry. If there's a chance in the future, I'll resurrect your father, and then we'll become sworn brothers! That's called a super generational leap!]

[Hashirama Senju:????????????????...]

[Madara Uchiha: Hahahaha! Hashirama, you're so cocky now, aren't you?]

[Makoto Ito: Madara, I know you're in a hurry, but don't panic! Your dad isn't getting away either...]

[Madara Uchiha:... I'll fuck your ancestors!!!]

And so, Makoto Ito chatted with the group of big shots in the group while arriving at the barbecue restaurant.

Sasuke Uchiha was a guy who didn't care about money, so he ordered all kinds of grilled meat, which made Naruto exclaim that Sasuke was awesome!

While these people were frantically eating grilled meat, on the other side, at the Root Base of Konoha...

"You guys go and bring Makoto Ito over tonight, without alerting anyone else, understand?"

Shimura Danzō in the position of the Root leader, looking at the several Root ninja kneeling below and speaking...

These three Root ninjas were members of a squad, consisting of one Jonin and two Chunin!

"It's Danzo!"

After the three Root ninjas left, Shimura Danzō sat in the Root leader's seat, squinting at his only remaining eye...

"Hiruzen! Everything I've done is for Konoha!!!"

You're no longer fit to be Hokage, you're too old! It's time for me to take the Hokage position! I will lead Konoha back to the glory that once belonged to Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, don't blame me! Everything for Konoha!

Meanwhile, Makoto Ito, who was still indulging in a feast at the barbecue restaurant, was unaware that Danzo was already preparing to attack him. After finishing his meal, Sasuke Uchiha paid the bill, and the three of them left the barbecue restaurant together!

As Naruto walked, he rubbed his stomach and said casually...

"I'm so full! This is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious food in my life! Thank you, Sasuke!"

Sasuke frowned upon hearing Naruto's words!

What does it mean that this is the first time he's ever eaten barbecue since he was a child? Has he never eaten barbecue before?

For some inexplicable reason, Sasuke felt a strange unease in his heart. Although he, like Naruto, had no parents or relatives, at least he had once possessed...

But Naruto never possessed it...
