Senju Tobirama: Danzo Has Been Seriously Marked
"Wow!!!"
The children from the Ninja Academy erupted in deafening cheers.
Under this peculiar propaganda, students at Konoha's Ninja Academy generally believed they were not weak, but also that ninjas from other villages were very strong.
Therefore, he has no pride or complacency whatsoever, and is always looking for his own shortcomings...
Terumi Mei and "Yuki" demonstrated their Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu, it made them feel anxious.
Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu is indeed powerful and superior.
Konoha also has many Ninja Clan, secret techniques, and numerous Kekkei Genkai.
However, there were none of the Chakra nature fusion techniques, such as Ice Release, Boil Release, or Scorch Release.
Therefore, in the hearts of the Ninja Academy students.
Konoha only possesses techniques like the Sharingan, Byakugan, Uzumaki Sealing Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame Inuzuka Clan Secret Technique, and Kurama Clan Genjutsu. These alone aren't enough to cope with the torrential rain outside...
Because others have just as much!
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Ice Release miraculously filled this gap...
Although Ice Release doesn't significantly boost Hiruzen Sarutobi's combat power.
However, the children of Konoha have an inexplicable obsession with all categories of things...
It's as if having everything brings a little peace of mind.
"Lord Hokage! Lord Hokage!"
A deafening roar of cheers echoed through the Training Ground, and every Ninja Academy student looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with reverence, their eyes seemingly shining with admiration.
Not just Ice Release...
It's Ice Release with such immense power!
Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's Ice Release Paradise, "Snow's" icicles seem rather cute.
"Father, how did you do that?" Asuma rushed over, his face full of excitement.
Having his father as Hokage wasn't something Asuma considered prestigious...
But in front of his classmates at the Ninja Academy, Dad effortlessly created Ice Release Paradise...
That would be incredibly prestigious!
The next moment, Shimura Danzō Body Flicker Technique to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.
However, although he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, he didn't know what to say...
You can't exactly shout, "You're cultivating without me now, it turns out you're making rapid progress all by yourself!"
Then you might as well quit being the Hokage's assistant and just blend in with the young and happy group of the Ninja Academy students...
"Isn't the Sarutobi Clan good at Fire Release?" Asuma asked excitedly, shaking Hiruzen Sarutobi's arm.
"Lord Hokage, your ancestors were related to the Land of Water or the Ice Release Clan..."
"Are we... related?" Xue couldn't help but ask.
In the understanding of snow.
Even the most skilled Ice Release ninja in their clan, when using their full power, could only achieve a similar effect to Hiruzen Sarutobi. But the problem was, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't even out of breath, looking like he hadn't exerted any effort at all.
He didn't even bother to gather Chakra; he just casually formed a few hand seals, yet it possessed such power...
Xue strongly suspects that Hiruzen Sarutobi might be able to use Ice Release without a hand seal!
"What nonsense! My father is a pure- Sarutobi Clan, and my Grandfather is Sasuke Sarutobi!"
Asuma turned around and glared at Yuki with considerable displeasure.
"My grandmother was also a famous female ninja in the Land of Fire. Our lineage has lived on this land for five hundred years!"
Xue quickly waved her hand and apologized:
"That's not what I meant! I've just never seen anyone master Ice Release after birth, so I misspoke. Please forgive me..."
After saying that, he bowed.
Only then did he realize that the Konoha Ninja Kaguya Kimimaro had attacked was actually the Hokage's Son?
Xue felt a little dizzy.
This should be placed in the Kirigakure.
He was certain that he was in deep trouble, even though he was just a companion to Kaguya Kimimaro.
Some members of the Yuki clan did not oppose the Third Mizukage, but they were still captured.
Because of the Guilt by Association System implemented in the Kirigakure.
It's not enough for the person to be without problems.
For you to pass the test, your friends, mission companions, and clansmen must also be competent and extremely supportive of the Third Mizukage.
If Xue Pai Konoha was in the same situation, then his year in Konoha wouldn't have been about fleeing, but rather a struggle for survival...
"Alright, the young man didn't mean anything by it, don't take it to heart."
"But you, kid, you don't keep mentioning your Grandfather's name at the Ninja Academy Tenten, do you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi ruffled Asuma's hair. "It's good to remember the family's history and traditions, but first and foremost, remember that we are all comrades of Konoha." Asuma squinted his eyes contentedly.
"Don't worry, Father. This is only towards the ninjas outside the village! I would never treat my classmates like that. With Brother Aosui and me around, everyone gets along equally, and no one puts on airs like Ninja Clan..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi his head and chuckled.
I never knew Asuma had this function...
In a way, this fostered better relations between the Ninja Clan and Commoner Ninja.
Because the Hokage's Son and the Second Hokage... no, the strongest genius of the Uchiha, both mingled with everyone.
Then the other Ninja Clan naturally lowered their stance and began to interact with each other on an equal footing.
Who could possibly be more domineering than those two?
In a sense, Asuma is doing something similar to the "Wife Diplomacy" of Biwako.
To help Hiruzen Sarutobi conduct "Son Diplomacy" with Konoha's new generation.
This is of great significance.
Asuma's recitations of Hiruzen Sarutobi Quotes and training anecdotes were the students' favorite entertainment during meals at the Ninja Academy...
This made each of them feel close to the Hokage, understand the details of Hiruzen Sarutobi's life, and feel a greater sense of reality and closeness to the image of the Third Hokage.
Xue was taken aback. Was the Kage of Konoha really this easygoing?
Still shaken, he bowed ninety degrees to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Lord Hokage, thank you for your forgiveness!"
"This boy harbors fear..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart stirred.
The reason he made a deal with Genji was that he didn't want adult ninjas from Kirigakure to work for him, but rather these young ninjas.
Aside from anticipating that these young ninjas possessed Kekkei Genkai and preparing to copy them, that was the main reason.
The mindsets of older ninjas have mostly been hardened by the brutal Shinobi World, making them difficult to assimilate.
But it's different for child prodigies...
Geniuses are more likely to have a relatively strong sense of self, and young people are also more receptive to new things.
According to Hyuga's information...
Hiruzen Sarutobi was not optimistic about the Third Mizukage's prospect of unifying Kirigakure with an iron fist.
Although he was experienced, he lacked popular support, and his defeat by Hozuki Gengetsu put him at a disadvantage from the start.
When he first became the Third Mizukage, he failed to promptly eliminate the remaining forces of Hozuki Gengetsu.
Instead, they were allowed to develop for over twenty years, hoping for a peaceful resolution, which allowed them to become deeply entrenched in Kirigakure and transform into a behemoth... If the Third Mizukage had taken over the Kirigakure Bloody Mist Village as soon as he came to power, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have thought there was a certain possibility of success.
The Third Mizukage's toughness was, in Hiruzen Sarutobi, actually a form of weakness.
They only resort to the most ruthless methods when things are out of control.
What was originally a problem involving only a few dozen people has escalated into an conflict with thousands...
Moreover...
The Third Mizukage faced not only internal resistance from Kirigakure.
There's also Hiruzen Sarutobi, from a mysterious foreign force within the Land of Fire, who is nurturing him as a seed to rebel against the Bloody Mist Village...
"You kids, come here..." Hiruzen Sarutobi beckoned to Terumi Mei and the others with a smile.
As the person waved, numerous ice sculptures appeared on the ground, depicting all sorts of lifelike animals and plants, instantly elevating the immersive experience of the Ice Release Paradise to another level.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.
Danzo's heart sank.
This ability proves that Hiruzen has mastered the nature and form transformation of Ice Release Chakra.
How long before he mastered Ice Release?
Why didn't you tell me you'd succeeded?
Danzo his teeth inwardly.
Terumi Mei and the others were also stunned.
As ninjas of the Bloody Mist Village, their focus is always on the lethality of Ninjutsu.
Regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi Ice Release technique, its release speed and range...
If what was being made was an ice cone instead of an ice sculpture...
They had absolutely no chance of survival.
Hiruzen Sarutobi in the expressions of Terumi Mei and the others, and smiled to himself.
Normally, communicating with adult ninjas doesn't require displaying force, because they know what the title of "Kage" represents and have sufficient understanding of their strength and status.
But the young ninjas were different.
Just like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who, in his previous life, pondered whether Tsinghua University or Peking University was better during his school days...
Young Ninja often lack a clear understanding of their own strength, with many thinking that a "Kage's" strength is just so-so, and that they might be able to challenge them in a couple of years...
Therefore, the best way to communicate with Young Ninja is to first demonstrate your strength, and then reason with them gently. A long time ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that you couldn't use force to communicate with children...
This led to Asuma's annoyance and rebellion.
But ever since Asuma saw Hiruzen Sarutobi sparring with Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato.
That old rebellious streak is long gone...
Tenten at the Ninja Academy, he would talk about how much his father cared for the village and how hard he trained...
This even drew the attention of Senju Tobirama.
I think Hiruzen is really cunning; sending his own son to the Ninja Academy as Internet Army —it's unbelievable that he even thought of that...
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi had thought.
After briefly demonstrating his Ice Release, Terumi Mei and the others immediately showed great respect and jogged over.
"Lord Hokage, please give us your instructions..." Terumi Mei asked respectfully, as she was the leader of the four.
"Don't be nervous..." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand gently, signaling them to relax.
"Your mission in Konoha has suddenly changed to communication, so it's normal to feel a little out of place."
"But now that you've come to Konoha, spend this year fully experiencing the Konoha customs and culture. Your elders Genji should have told you that you don't have any extra tasks."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled.
Terumi Mei was startled. How did the Hokage know what Genji had said?
The respectful expressions on their faces deepened.
Actually, Hiruzen Sarutobi was just guessing.
Because Genji was rigid, but not stupid.
"If Kirigakure could be so thoroughly intimidated by Hizashi Hyuga and his Patrol Force, and still expect these teenagers to be spies, then Kirigakure probably wouldn't have survived until now... I also know that you're probably not some so-called Genin or Ninja Academy students."
"But it's alright. Some of the kids at the Konoha Ninja Academy are quite skilled. Just spar with them normally this year." "Don't hold back, but don't intentionally cause injury. We have specialists here to handle ordinary injuries, and you can enjoy that treatment as well."
"And, every month, a Jonin from the Konoha Ninja Academy will come to Jonin lectures."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said:
"You can try out one class. If you're interested, you can also exchange your thoughts with the students from the Ninja Academy, and then you can continue to participate."
"As for Ninja Tool and food, the Ninja Academy provides them to every ninja free of charge, so you don't need to worry."
"I've had the Uchiha ninja arrange your accommodations. You can go and get to know your new home later..."
This series of explanations left Terumi Mei and the others completely bewildered.
Free Ninja Tool and food? And amazing medical care...
There are even powerful Jonin giving Advanced Class to the students?
No, why are Konoha and Kirigakure so different...?
"Lord Hokage, you don't need to give us any special treatment..."
Kisame, who had been silent all along, finally spoke:
"Our Kirigakure ninjas are known for their endurance. Genji didn't let us have a vacation here; instead, he assisted the Konoha ninjas with practical combat training."
"This is a privilege enjoyed by all students of the Konoha Ninja Academy."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Kisame a strange look and asked in confusion, "Isn't it like this where you're from?"
This rhetorical question left Kisame speechless.
In Kirigakure today, the Ninja Academy isn't quite a battle royale yet.
However, it's normal for someone to die every few days, not to mention the large amount of free supplies and the valuable guidance from Jonin.
In Kirigakure with Kekkei Genkai Ninja Clan, to receive guidance, one had to choose a side and curry favor...
Otherwise, don't even think about it...
"Yes... that's how it is, it must be like this, the Third Mizukage will." Kisame forced himself to reply to Hiruzen Sarutobi, somewhat shocked. Even as a Iron-Blooded Kirigakure Ninja Village, hearing about the vast difference between the two village Ninja Academy inevitably stirred up some indescribable feelings within him. "The Hokage must have exaggerated, impossible, there's absolutely no way such Hidden Village could exist!" Kisame silently said to himself.
He made his decision.
He wanted to carefully observe the village of Konoha and dispel Hiruzen Sarutobi's false propaganda...
Kisame refused to believe it; why should Konoha receive such good treatment...?
Even if Ninja Academy students truly enjoy these benefits, it must be through the exploitation of regular ninjas!
It's impossible for everyone to have a good life, right?
Who will sacrifice themselves?
This is the Kirigakure, or rather, this is the kind of zero-sum game mentality that most ninjas have.
Win-win situations are almost non-existent.
"You two brats, is there a problem?" Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kaguya Kimimaro, who was secretly observing Asuma. Kaguya Kimimaro's face turned pale.
After being Education by Uchiha Hono and witnessing Hiruzen Sarutobi's power...
He's really not capable of going crazy anymore.
"I..." Kaguya Kimimaro and lowered her head.
He was terrified that if he revealed the attack on the Hokage's Son, he would be finely chopped into minced meat the next second.
"It's nothing, Father, it's just a misunderstanding."
Asuma mimicked Hiruzen Sarutobi's usual tone. "We're temporary comrades now."
Kaguya Kimimaro suddenly looked up, gazing at Asuma with gratitude.
Asuma smiled slightly at him, "Am I right?"
"Yes, yes!" Kaguya Kimimaro took a deep breath. "Excuse me, I haven't asked your name yet?"
"My name is Asuma Sarutobi."
"My name is Kaguya Kimimaro."
After introducing himself, Asuma calmly extended his hand to Kaguya Kimimaro.
This was something he had heard from his older brother, Shinnosuke...
My father always liked to shake hands with great ceremony after reaching a cooperation agreement with someone.
Asuma naturally learned from his father, imitating his actions and tone of voice, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.
The two boys clasped hands tightly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi watched this scene with great interest.
Asuma's grown-up demeanor is quite amusing...
"Feel free to wander around for now. The cafeteria is a hundred meters straight ahead. Lunch is served at noon. After lunch, the Military Police Force will come to pick you up and take you to your clan's quarters," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile. "It seems you're getting along quite well..."
Terumi Mei relaxed.
Once the one who was most ill and most prone to problems has stabilized, then they won't cause trouble for each other.
"Thank you for your care, Lord Hokage. We will get along well with our Konoha comrades and learn from each other..." Terumi Mei said softly.
"Your Scorch Release and Boil Release, one is a combination of Earth and Water Nature Chakra, and the other is a combination of Fire and Water Nature Chakra, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi blinked.
Terumi Mei exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Hokage, do you also possess these two Kekkei Genkai?"
If even Hiruzen Sarutobi could do this...
Then Terumi Mei would have to wonder whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage or the Mizukage!
"No, it's just that I'm quite sensitive to the properties of Chakra, and I wanted to verify my analysis..."
"I accidentally mastered Ice Release while trying to fuse two Chakra natures," Hiruzen Sarutobi explained frankly. "Perhaps I'll be able to master Boil Release and Scorch Release in the future, but I don't hold out much hope."
Terumi Mei nodded in deep agreement.
It's not that she felt Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't strong enough.
However, Chakra nature fusion is always extremely difficult, and very few ninjas can achieve it.
The ratio of the two Chakra types, the method of fusion, the mastery and establishment of a stable instinct...
It is extremely difficult to master this skill through training.
Even Terumi Mei herself finds it difficult to clearly explain the Chakra mixing mechanism of Scorch Release and Boil Release...
It's like how some people can move their ears, while others can't.
A ninja without Uchiha blood will never awaken their Sharingan, no matter how severe the blow they suffer...
Using Kekkei Genkai is more of an instinct stemming from one's bloodline; acquired skills are merely developed through practice.
It's already amazing that he was able to master Ice Release by chance.
"Go..." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved to Terumi Mei and the others, indicating that they were free to do as they pleased.
He wasn't worried that the children could obtain any intelligence...
Or perhaps they could improve their skills in the Advanced Class at the Ninja Academy.
After Uchiha Hiruzen Sarutobi the "Madara" label from the Uchiha clan, if a group of Three-Tomoe can't even keep an eye on a few teenagers, then they might as well go somewhere cool and stay away...
Even if we assume, hypothetically, that the Military Police Force is slightly lax...
There are also Patrol Force, and the Rules of Horror Konoha Hizashi Hyuga, who sleeps with his eyes open...
As for the techniques of Konoha that were learned in the Advanced Class...
Given the environment of Kirigakure, it wouldn't matter if Terumi Mei and the others gained something.
Or rather, the Advanced Class for Konoha 'Jonin didn't involve particularly advanced Ninjutsu.
Most of these are skills based on experience and practicality, or simply to broaden one's horizons; the main purpose is to build a foundation.
And wouldn't the Jonin and Ninja Clan of Kirigakure be similar in these ways?
They will, of course.
However, the Kirigakure environment meant there was no space for it to spread.
The kids at the Ninja Academy are busy playing No-Holds-Barred Combat!
Who has time to learn these fundamental and high-level skills? They'd be better off figuring out quick methods like Silent Killing...
"Hiruzen, they're gone. Shouldn't you answer Asuma's question now?" Danzo asked anxiously after Terumi Mei and the others took their leave. Interestingly, Obito and a bunch of his friends also tiptoed over.
Behind them followed Senju Tobirama expression was complex.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at it and felt a little amused.
The teacher's acting is pretty convincing...
What's so surprising about a Forbidden Jutsu Master seeing a Kekkei Genkai?
You could only say they're very dedicated...
What Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know was that Senju Tobirama had long ago tried to research Kekkei Genkai such as Ice Release, but had never succeeded...
It's as if the Sage of Six Paths granted him the spatial talent of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but stripped him of the ability to fuse attributes...
This allowed Senju Tobirama to possess all seven elemental Chakra natures, but ultimately he only specialized in Water Release.
When he saw his disciple accomplish something he himself could not, Senju Tobirama's complex expression was not feigned.
I felt both relieved and somewhat hurt...
"Uncle Danzo, actually I'm not in a hurry to ask. Let's talk about it when we get home..." Asuma scratched his head.
No, you're in a hurry.
Danzo said expressionlessly, "I'm anxious too."
Asuma rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "If you want to hear it, just say so. Why drag me into this?"
Danzo chuckled.
This brat is really not cute at all; no wonder he's Hiruzen's son!
"It's actually very simple..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi his throat. "Just mix the Water Nature Wind Nature Chakra together."
"It was just casual practice, a fluke."
Danzo took a deep breath. "Hiruzen, are you kidding me?"
Senju Tobirama's forehead twitched; Hiruzen Sarutobi's nonchalant tone also annoyed him.
"Haha, just kidding..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his old friend on the shoulder. "But that's the essence of it."
"In general, one must first have a sufficient understanding and sensitivity to the Five Elements Chakra..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he held up five fingers.
Each fingertip was burning with Chakra of a different attribute.
"After that, it was time to try to integrate them."
"Chakra are both mutually exclusive and compatible. Without the instinctive inheritance of bloodlines, one can only try and fail repeatedly, gaining inspiration from each failure."
"I don't know what innate Kekkei Genkai are like..."
"But if you want to learn it later, you also need to grasp the feeling of initial successful integration, repeat it immediately to solidify it, and form muscle memory before you can be considered to have truly mastered it."
"I tried for a long time..."
"It was after seeing that Kirigakure Ninja named 'Snow' use Ice Release and sensing the flow of his Chakra that I gained a glimpse of inspiration and learned it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly that he was not holding anything back, and that these were all the truths.
Now, in addition to tempering his body with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his daily training routine also includes Chakra Fusion...
With nothing else to do, he would ignite two kinds of Chakra at his fingertips and let them collide.
"I also got my inspiration from Teacher Tobirama's ideas."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said:
"By constantly trying and making mistakes, correcting the direction, and adding a bit of luck, you can achieve some results."
Senju Tobirama nodded subconsciously.
Very good!
Hiruzen is finally not just talking about his older brother all the time; let's talk about his teacher too...
But then Senju Tobirama realized something was amiss.
He always felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was mocking his process of creating the Izuna Life-sized Doll figure...
Senju Tobirama still remembers it.
At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him and the Izuna Life-sized Doll with such a curious expression...
It seems to be asking, "Teacher, what was your mindset when you cloned and merged your enemy with your own?"
Senju Tobirama almost lost his composure at the time, but managed to cover it up, as he really didn't want to mention the details.
This is a story about paranoia, and it's a very dark history.
"An implication? It's hard to say, but it could also be an implication, or simply a compliment..."
Senju Tobirama pondered this, he suddenly felt a surge of joy.
A single sentence can be interpreted in different ways by different people, each feeling as if it describes themselves...
Hiruzen, as Hokage, has certainly made a name for himself.
"Teacher Tobirama's wisdom is like an ancient spring in the deep mountains; even if you scoop it up a hundred times and explore it a thousand times, each time you open it, it still flows with a clear and refreshing quality, and each time you have a new experience..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with a sigh.
Senju Tobirama tightened his lips and asked in a deep voice:
"Lord Hokage, is the Second Hokage truly so wise? I've read his biography in the classics and I'm very interested in him." "It's Aosui..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly.
"It's good that you're proactively learning about Konoha's history and the deeds of the previous Hokage! It shows you're already an excellent Konoha citizen..." Senju Tobirama nodded in agreement, but inwardly he couldn't help but chuckle and think to himself:
"I never imagined that one day I'd need Hiruzen's approval to be Konoha resident..."
"The wisdom of the Second is indeed as vast and profound as the ocean. As his disciple, I always feel that my cultivation is insufficient, and I am afraid of tarnishing his reputation."
"Take this Ice Release Kekkei Genkai for example. Although it's somewhat difficult, how can it compare to Forbidden Technique like the Flying Thunder God Technique? If Master were still here, he could definitely do it easily..."
"So, it is the teacher's will that supports me to keep going and makes me unwilling to relax, even though my talent is not very good," Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly.
Even a calm man like Senju Tobirama felt a sense of relief at this moment...
Hiruzen is quite the smooth talker, huh?
"I've learned a lot, Lord Hokage..." Senju Tobirama said, slowly savoring the words.
Danzo to the side, frowned, clearly displeased.
No, Hiruzen, are you a face-changing device?
One moment he claims to be the First successor, the next he says he's always carrying on his teacher's will...
You, a Hokage, hold the titles of two previous Hokage; your appetite is truly enormous!
Seeing Danzo's expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sudden urge.
"What do you think, Danzo?"
"Teacher Tobirama is undoubtedly brave and wise, but compared to him, I agree more with the First Hokage's will..."
Danzo glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanting to deliberately annoy his old buddy.
Even at the Ninja Academy, the students didn't quite understand Danzo's role in the village...
If the meeting were held at the Hokage Office Building, even Danzo, with his Danzo skin, wouldn't dare say he was the First Hokage's successor...
Even the Darkness of the Shinobi could not help but burst into thunderous laughter.
"It's true I'm Teacher Tobirama's apprentice, and I respect him greatly, but in spirit, I'm the successor to the First Hokage, believing in sacrificing myself for the village, and that anything that harms the village..."
Danzo imitated Hiruzen Sarutobi's usual tone.
"Alright, Danzo, stop talking..." Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly.
He could already sense the Chakra emanating from one of the Uchiha.
"So you're also one of Big Brother's disciples..."
"Very well, very well... I'd like to ask you, what exactly was that Root that forcibly extorted young talents from various Ninja Clan?"
"It was all taught to you by your older brother, not by me!" Senju Tobirama thought viciously to himself.
During his time at the Ninja Academy, Senju Tobirama was not simply a student.
He gained a general understanding of the village over the years by talking with the Uchiha Clan, various other Ninja Clan, ordinary students, and parents, starting from the grassroots and middle levels.
What caught his attention most was the former "Root".
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has already disbanded it...
However, the public opinion only subsided, not completely disappeared, much like Madara's influence on the Uchiha.
This abscess, if left untreated, will always be a hidden danger, and may even become a historical burden for the Senju Lineage...
Senju Tobirama somewhat hesitant.
After all, although he was dissatisfied with Danzo, Danzo was still his student.
But now it seems there's no need for that.
"Precisely because he's the Hokage, he must be ruthless in dealing with wrongdoing..." Senju Tobirama silently marked Danzo in his mind. He had to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget...
Danzo chuckled, feeling that he had successfully disgusted Hiruzen.
But he frowned, still feeling cheated. "Then why are you so skilled? Your mastery of Ice Release's form changes is clearly not that of a beginner."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave him an amused look. "You're a bit slow, Danzo..."
"Where am I stupid?" Danzo said angrily, "Don't try to be unreasonable!"
The students at the Ninja Academy burst into laughter.
At this point, everyone realized that in private, informal settings, the conversations between the Lord Hokage and his assistants weren't always that different from what they were used to... Kakashi and Obito often had similar scenes.
Perhaps this is the unique bond that Konoha has...
"Ice Release is a combination of Wind Release and Water Release, and Ice Release manifests as a solid, leaning towards the principle of Earth Release's shape transformation..." "I am proficient in the properties and shape transformations of Earth Release, Water Release, Wind Release. Just transfer it a little, and it's done." Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was very natural, as if it were as simple as drinking soup.
Danzo's eyebrows twitched, and he took a deep breath.
Forget it, there's no point in talking to this scoundrel who's proficient in Five Nature Transformations!
"Father, will you be able to master other Kekkei Genkai?" Asuma asked wistfully.
