Konoha's Talent Reserves

Konoha.

Hokage Office Building.

"Hiruzen, why did you laugh when you saw me again today..."

Danzo said with a dark face, "I always feel like if you smile like that, something bad will happen to me..."

The last time Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed with him like this, it was about Kakuzu's bet.

That time Danzo was prevaricating because he didn't want to go all over the village inspecting the work with big teeth and a big smile...

"Are you thinking about Kakuzu again?"

"Stop fantasizing, Hiruzen, he must have absconded with the money! Look, Konoha hasn't come to Konoha to deliver the next Earth Grudge Fear in these days!" Let me tell you, you Hokage should do a review, this is a waste of the village's public funds!"Danzo still played a silky little combo: "He also said he could help Konoha do things? You are too naive, Hiruzen! If I don't supervise you, I think there will be big problems in the village sooner or later!" Strange to say, as long as he steps into Hokage Office, in Without outsiders, Danzo just couldn't control himself and wanted to find trouble with Hiruzen. Even if Danzo knew that what he said didn't make sense...

Danzo has long been eyeing Kakuzu, but he had no choice but to discover...

Kakuzu is really no longer a bounty hunter in Land of Fire. He can occasionally find traces of him. Based on the analysis of various details, it seems that he is really looking for information for Konoha...

This leaves Danzo with no options.

He thought that if Kakuzu dared to violate the rules, he would call Sakumo and Hizashi.

The three Anbu giants will kill this old immortal monster together!

But Kakuzu is acting in accordance with the contract, and Danzo has no choice...

Even if he is evil and courageous, he is still not sure of taking down Kakuzu by himself.

However, Sakumo and Hizashi do not have Hokage's instructions or clear reasons.

It is impossible to accompany Danzo on a private mission...

"Yes, yes, this village will fall apart sooner or later without you."

"How important are you? You are Hokage's assistant, Anbu Chief, Root of Konoha, Darkness of the Shinobi..." Hiruzen Sarutobi responded with a smile, not angry at all.

He saw it.

In this Shinobi World, ninjas are more or less mentally ill, some are paranoid, some are manic, and there are too few who can have normal thinking... In this case, it is enough to be able to do things, and complaining to yourself in private is nothing...

Just treat it as a meaningless request for credit.

"You... forget it!" Danzo wanted to say something else, but seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude, he suddenly didn't know what to say. He also had a soft-spoken temperament.

Of course, this premise is that Hokage is not really temperless...

"Hiruzen, Iwagakure is currently cleaning up the interior..."

"The reason is that our military action against Kusagakure gave it a sense of crisis."

"Our spy over there is also Root's former spy. Yakushi Nonō requested a withdrawal."

"But her mission has not been completed yet. Currently, she has only stolen the prototype of "Earth Release·Added-Weight Rock Technique", but has not touched "Earth Release·Light-Weight Rock Technique"."

Danzo reports with a hint of reluctance.

In his opinion, Yakushi Nonō should have been stationed at Iwagakure until it completed its mission...

Just find an opportunity and send it back to "Earth Release·Added-Weight Rock Technique". There is no need for them to come back.

Even if Iwagakure is under martial law, won't they just stay dormant in place?

Danzo is very afraid of Yakushi Nonō.

Because this is a ninja with his own thoughts and is uncontrollable.

And once a ninja is out of control, it means it's time to die.

Especially for an excellent intelligence ninja like Yakushi Nonō, if the secret is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous...

If you look at Danzo's thinking, Uchiha Madara's opinion of Hidden Village's senior management is not wrong, and can even be said to be very accurate. "Yakushi Nonō?" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded thoughtfully.

He has heard of this name, and he has made a lot of contributions to Konoha, so he is called "Wandering Miko.'

"Since she requested to withdraw, then send someone to respond."

"We must trust our ninja. Her past experience proves that Yakushi Nonō is loyal to the village."

"The request to withdraw is based on the judgment that the current Iwagakure has no possibility of obtaining further information."

"Senseless exposure will only cause losses to the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a serious tone.

Yakushi Nonō's gains have been huge...

Aggravating, Light-Weight Rock Technique is not the ordinary Earth Release, but the secret technique inheritance of Tsuchikage lineage.

Its strategic significance is of great importance.

Even though Yakushi Nonō only obtained the prototype of Added-Weight Rock Technique, Hiruzen Sarutobi's name of "Professor of Ninjutsu" was not blown out of proportion. It is naturally difficult to create a ninjutsu from scratch.

But we already have a framework, and after some tinkering, Hiruzen Sarutobi is confident about it.

Besides, aren't there still Orochimaru and Senju Tobirama?

"I know..." Danzo paused.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's serious tone made Danzo subconsciously withdraw his rebuttal.

He also became more familiar with Hiruzen Sarutobi's current temper...

"Now Hiruzen is more generous and trusts me more."

"But the judgment he made cannot be forcibly refuted without sufficient reasons."

"Otherwise, it will look ugly..."

Danzo remembered Hiruzen Sarutobi when First Martial Arts Arena praised him...

It is indeed extremely honorable.

But Hiruzen, who can heat up the atmosphere and guide emotions like this, if one day he wants to use public opinion to attack himself...

Danzo I shudder just thinking about it.

Although he thought Hiruzen Sarutobi would not do this to him.

But out of awe, Danzo always warned himself not to confront Hokage as much as possible.

This is Darkness of the Shinobi, who can always see the opposite side of things.

"But, Hiruzen..."

Danzo considered the words: "Yakushi Nonō wanted to quit the spy line. She opened a Orphanage in Land of Fire and said she wanted to go back and become Director."

"You should know this, Hiruzen."

"You once approved some money for her..." Danzo couldn't help but add:

"She also asked if the village could add more..."

A few years ago, Danzo criticized Hiruzen Sarutobi for being a womanizer...

The village's funds are not enough, so they even go to charity!

"Some impression..."

"Go get the detailed information of Orphanage and Yakushi Nonō." Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.

After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up after getting the information.

What a talent!

"In other words, this Yakushi Nonō not only did not embezzle the village's money, but also put all the rewards for the mission for so many years into Orphanage?"

"Not only does she have outstanding intelligence capabilities, she is also a good player at Medical Ninjutsu..."

"A grassroots team was built, and under her cultivation, there were several employees who were proficient in using Medical Ninjutsu..."

Danzo sighed, "Yes, she is very talented."

"But the problem is, the obsession in her heart is no longer the village, but this Orphanage!"

"Although those employees are all Land of Fire, who asked her to leak Medical Ninjutsu? Even if it is used for so-called therapeutic purposes, it can be regarded as a precursor to leaks!"

"If she dares to leak Medical Ninjutsu today, she might be able to betray the village's information tomorrow!"

Danzo said seriously:

"If I hadn't threatened her with Orphanage's subsidy, she would have even refused to go to Iwagakure to lurk."

This is not Danzo's criticism, but his true thoughts.

The characteristic of Darkness of the Shinobi is extreme.

"Is the obsession Orphanage?"

"How many ninjas can persist in the tricks you did before?"

"I have said it before, Danzo, truly talented ninjas will not be easily brainwashed. They all have their own beliefs and persistence." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand. "You think she is difficult to control, but I think she is easy to control."

"For a little subsidy from Orphanage, I can go to Iwagakure to get back important ninjutsu..."

"He also has the ability to train Medical Ninjutsu. It is normal for such a ninja to make demands."

"Danzo, we are respected by everyone because we can help the ninjas solve their problems, not because of Hokage, the title of assistant, Konoha ninjas must obey our orders unconditionally."

"You have to remember that ninjas are "people", and people should have their own thoughts and demands."

"What we have to do is to find the greatest common denominator between the demands of the ninjas and the interests of the village, so that both parties are as satisfied as possible." Hiruzen Sarutobi Danzo said earnestly.

However, he didn't expect his old friend to listen.

If you teach someone, you will not be able to do it a thousand times; if you teach someone, you will be able to do it once.

It's just that you still have to say it right. Whether you listen or not is Danzo's own business...

"It's also described in mathematical terms... Are you giving test questions to the Ninja Academy students recently?" As expected, Danzo subconsciously curled his lips and changed the subject.

At this point, Danzo still cannot recognize Hiruzen Sarutobi...

"The Will of Fire test question is not about mathematics."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed slightly. "By the way, you haven't done anything extraordinary recently, right?"

Danzo nodded confidently. "Of course not."

Because Danzo feels that he is much gentler than before...

He recently went to various major Ninja Clans to seek talent for Anbu, all in the form of coercion and inducement, and he rarely used the title of assistant to directly pressure people... In the past, wherever there was an inducement, it would only be intimidation!

It's just that the progress is not going well, Ninja Clan are now smarter, and they agree openly at every turn, and then the conversation changes and they say they want to report to Lord Hokage...

As a result, Danzo could only stop talking angrily.

He is a dishonest person...

The taste of Root is something he can't forget. Now Anbu's situation makes it impossible for Danzo to cultivate private soldiers.

Because Deputy Chief and each Squad Captain are all Hiruzen Sarutobi's people.

But currently Anbu is expanding, so it is reasonable to quietly create a team directly under the minister, right?

It just didn't go very well.

Besides, we have to guard against Hizashi and Sakumo, so we have to take our time...

Danzo is even thinking about setting up a Uchiha team?

In this case, it can be regarded as a great achievement of his.

Given the special nature of Uchiha, it makes sense to stick to his Anbu Chief.

And the conflict between him and Uchiha will also paralyze the vigilance of Hizashi and Sakumo...

Danzo feels that since Hiruzen can have a good reputation with Uchiha, then he can also brainwash Uchiha!

"It would be nice if not..." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled in his heart, if Danzo got sick again, Teacher Tobirama would catch him.

With Teacher Tobirama's political fighting ability.

Even if he is a Ninja Academy student now, I am afraid it is enough for Danzo to drink a pot...

After all, he won't pull Danzo out this time...

"Ninjas, especially excellent ninjas, always have obsessions..."

"With the public system to satisfy their obsession, and Will of Fire's interpretation, the ninjas will naturally devote themselves to doing things for the village..." "This is my philosophy as Hokage, and I will teach you, Danzo." Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Telling your Fen Jue in words that Danzo can relatively understand can be regarded as compensation for him...

After all, he might really have to fight Teacher Tobirama...

"Yeah, I know, I know..." Danzo agreed, but didn't take it seriously.

You can just talk to the ninja below about this, so why bother talking to him?

"Reliable personnel must be arranged to escort Yakushi Nonō back to the village."

"Let her come to see me when she comes back." Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.

Not only is Yakushi Nonō a talent, Orphanage she founded is also valued by Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Konoha is now missing population.

But the population cannot be replenished at will.

After the non-threshold security system is established, it is natural to select the best among the best, and to ensure the loyalty of the supplementary population.

And Orphanage is obviously a good source, so there is no doubt about the identification ability of Wandering Miko.

The war-torn orphans coupled with Yakushi Nonō's nurturing ability are naturally the best carriers for Will of Fire.

As long as proper Education is performed, these orphans will remain fanatical about Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hokage, just like Hizashi Hyuga...

"By the way, we can ask Hizashi to be a guest teacher at Orphanage..." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled unconsciously when he thought of this scene.

Some kindness.

"Hiruzen, you don't want to support Yakushi Nonō, do you? What about the money..." Danzo asked suspiciously.

"Kusagakure is always profitable. Iburi and Tsuchigumo Clan are also providing tax revenue for the village. If there is a gap, I will find a way." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand:

"After a while, the second batch of orders for Sage Pill will come. When Chakra Sustained-Release Technology studied by Tsunade and Orochimaru has a slight breakthrough, I will launch a new project."

Danzo sighed.

It's his problem...

You shouldn't argue with Hiruzen about making money.

"Kirigakure and our Peace Agreement, what do you think, Hiruzen?"

"Originally, we just sent a few ninjas to pick up the Kusagakure prisoners, but this delay lasted more than three months."

"It cost us a lot of food!"

"Now I have sent the old immortal Genji and the senior management to say that they will apologize with heavy treasures as compensation and further sign Peace Agreement with us."

"I also brought a few Genin and Ninja Academy students, saying that I want to plant the seeds of peace in the hearts of the next generation of Kirigakure and Konoha in advance..." Danzo changed the topic and said with a sneer:

"I think it's all just farts! If Kirigakure can have any valuable treasure, are they willing to give it to Seven Ninja Swords?"

"There's still peace...Kirigakure There's something wrong with this village. First Shinobi World War Back then, for a little trophy, Hozuki Gengetsu went to Wu desperately. This brain is even more normal than Uchiha!"

"Now they are resorting to seclusion. It seems like there is a conspiracy! As for those Ninja Academy and Genin, at a glance, they found a few young elites to intimidate us!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

What Danzo said is not unreasonable. In terms of foreign villages, Darkness of the Shinobi is still Authority...

"When soldiers come to block it, when water comes and the earth comes to cover it..."

"They sent out fake Ninja Academy students and Genin, but our children are not bad either. There is no need to engage in these deceitful things like them." Hiruzen Sarutobi was moved in his heart.

Is there any fraud more egregious than putting the ancestor Hokage on the Ninja Academy...

And allowing the young elites of Kirigakure to be exposed to today's culture and life of Konoha in advance, in a sense, has indeed buried the seeds of peace in their hearts.

From the perspective of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Third Mizukage is also a typical mental illness, and Warring States Period is an antique...

Therefore, what he did has very little to do with peace, and is most likely to find trouble...

But Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't care.

Will of Fire is not only applicable to Konoha Ninja.

It is aimed at every Shinobi World who cannot stand the hell and wants to seek light...
