Danzo

Just then, the masked man on the other side spoke, "I heard your name is Ye Lan. The Interrogation Department found you in the forest this morning. We don't want to do anything to you, but Danzo-sama has discovered you and learned some things about you. So, we'd like to have a chat. And I heard that even Ibiki couldn't get anything out of you at the Interrogation Department, so Danzo-sama has become quite interested in you and wants to meet you. We won't do anything else to you, so you don't need to worry too much. And it's best not to make things difficult for me. Just come with us."

Ye Lan sensed something was off from the man's tone. He felt like what the man was saying wasn't that simple. Danzo-sama was calling for him, and he even knew about what happened with Ibiki at the Interrogation Department. It seemed the Anbu's intelligence network was truly impressive. In theory, he shouldn't have known about the Interrogation Department's affairs.

The fact that an Anbu member could easily obtain this information also showed that Danzo was no ordinary person. But then again, if Danzo knew about that, he must also know that he had just obtained his Ninja Headband and become a Genin. But he couldn't figure out why Danzo would want to find him at this time?

And what exactly was Danzo's purpose? Recruitment? Ye Lan couldn't quite figure it out, but mainly he didn't want to go to the Anbu with these people, because who knew what would happen after he met Danzo. And he had always preferred to be upright and didn't like doing things like collecting intelligence or planting spies.

If it were a game of Infernal Affairs, he would rather be on the side of justice, being open and aboveboard. He had never been interested in Danzo, whether when he watched Naruto or now that he was in the Naruto World. It wasn't about him as a person, but he didn't like his style of doing things, even if he was indeed doing it for the good of Konoha.

Ye Lan thought for a moment, then smiled at the masked man and said, "How about this? Why don't you two come with me to get some ramen first, and then we can talk about going to see Danzo? I'm hungry anyway. You can't expect me to go on an empty stomach, can you? Or you can come with me to see Danzo. What do you two think? I heard the Ichiraku Ramen up there is very good. It should suit your tastes."

But the two masked men seemed to have no intention of lingering with Ye Lan. They directly grabbed Ye Lan's hand and said, "Our time is precious. I'm afraid we can't go eat ramen with you. You should come with us to see Danzo-sama first." Seeing their firm attitude, Ye Lan didn't want to beat around the bush with them anymore.

Ye Lan narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I refuse to go with you? What can you do to me?" Ye Lan's tone was already somewhat tough.

Seeing that Ye Lan wouldn't budge, the masked men also got angry and said directly to Ye Lan, "I'm afraid you don't have a choice! You have to go today, whether you want to or not. This is the order Danzo-sama gave us. You better not make things difficult for us, otherwise, if we two have to take action to bring you, it won't look good on the surface. You should just come with us obediently, otherwise, hurting the harmony won't be good for anyone. Don't you think that makes sense?"
