"Versailles? What does that mean?" Sakumo had never heard such a word before and asked curiously.
"Uh, it's just a way to describe someone speaking very humbly. It's a dialect from our Kirigakure," Kazashiro quickly improvised.
Sakumo nodded and made a mental note of it, thinking it might be useful the next time he visited Kirigakure.
Under Kazashiro's guidance, Sakumo and the others arrived at Kazashiro's home.
"This is..." Looking at the Hokage Building not far away, Sakumo carefully identified the area they were in.
This was the central area of Konoha, and most of the families who could settle here were the old clans that followed the First Hokage in establishing Konoha.
With the gradual development of Konoha, the value of this land was astronomical.
"We meet again, Sakumo." At the entrance, Danzo, wearing his signature outfit, was still quite robust and did not lean on his cane. A smile played on his lips.
Ugh, this old geezer is smiling again.
Kazashiro felt a chill run down his spine.
Watching the old geezer and Sakumo exchange pleasantries for a while, not only Kazashiro but even Sakumo felt that Danzo's aura was different from before.
After all, the old Danzo wouldn't have chatted with anyone other than Hiruzen.
After eating the same dishes as yesterday, Kazashiro wiped his mouth and got up to wash the bowls.
The food is as salty as ever today.
Accustomed to having a black-pot Jinchuriki sitting in front of him, Kazashiro finally had the mood to savor the taste in his mouth.
Yesterday's evaluation was a bit too generous. His skill level was worse than his own in his past life.
"What happened today, while not entirely your fault, was a bit too childish in its execution." Danzo stopped Kazashiro from taking the plates and gestured for him to sit back down.
Given Danzo's level of surveillance on the Uchiha clan, the first to know about Uchiha Yaowan's medical records would be the doctor, the second would be the Root ninja, and only then the patient and his family.
As for the fourth, it would naturally be Fugaku, with the two balls hanging from his chin.
Comminuted...
It has to be said, Konoha's training of Medical Ninjas has been a great help, managing to restore that shattered thing.
Is Ryoma's training problematic?
Unable to understand why his son was so dirty in his fighting style, Danzo began to doubt Ryoma's upbringing.
"Yes, I understand," Kazashiro, hearing Danzo speak, could only transform into a "Yes, yes, yes" superman, nodding continuously.
"This kind of tactic should only be used when there are no witnesses around, or when the other party doesn't recognize your identity. Do you understand?" Danzo was very satisfied with Kazashiro's attitude.
Is that the point?!
In other words, if there are no witnesses around, I can just attack their weaknesses as I please?
Besides, if I didn't know anything, how could I have used such a disreputable method!
As expected, the old geezer is still the same old geezer I know.
"It seems the training volume is insufficient. Starting tomorrow, your training will be doubled." Just as Kazashiro was pondering how to fool Danzo, the latter's words struck him like a bolt from the blue.
Doubled training volume means my beating time will be multiplied by two, and my hand-seal training will also be multiplied by two. What's the point of all this!
"I..." Kazashiro was about to express his dissatisfaction when he met Danzo's single eye.
"What?" Danzo asked calmly.
"Thank you, Father, I will continue to work hard," Kazashiro forcefully changed the subject, speaking insincerely.
"Is that so? That's good. You haven't disappointed my expectations," Danzo said, extremely pleased.
My son truly has the makings of a Hokage.
"You can continue to associate with your Uchiha friend, but do not reveal anything about me to him, understand?" Danzo did not forget to instruct Kazashiro regarding Obito.
Despite his prejudices against the Uchiha, Danzo, who had studied them extensively, knew that the Uchiha clan placed great importance on relationships. If they considered someone a friend, they would give their all for them.
Just like Kagami Uchiha back then...
Recalling the prematurely deceased Kagami, Danzo sighed faintly in his heart.
The strongest of the Uchiha clan back then, only to be frozen at the age of 25...
What a shame, those Sharingan eyes ultimately did not end up in my possession...
"Understood, Father," Kazashiro continued to nod.
Father, this title is a bit too formal.
Hearing Kazashiro's address and recalling Kakashi's address to Sakumo, Danzo, without changing his stern expression, looked at Kazashiro and said, "Don't be so formal at home from now on. Just call me Dad."
"Okay, Dad," Kazashiro replied respectfully, exhibiting the utmost subservience.
It seems the old geezer Danzo has a good impression of me. Although the training is a bit harsh, the intention is ultimately good.
In this case, as long as I continue to lie low, survive the Nine-Tails attack and the Allied Forces invasion, and wait for the old geezer to be taken down by Sasuke, I can inherit Root, support Naruto's rise to power, and enjoy a leisurely retirement life in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations!
Kazashiro thought gleefully, completely unaware of how lazy his ambitions were.
"Alright, go back and study the textbooks I found for you. You don't need to worry about washing dishes anymore," Danzo said, waving Kazashiro away to his room, completely unaware of how rebellious his son truly was.
Back in his room, Kazashiro's eyes immediately fell upon his desk, which was piled high with books.
"What is all this? Chakra Fundamentals, Chakra Advancement, Chakra Mastery, Chakra Grandmaster?" Looking at the various scrolls bearing the Shimura Clan crest on their covers, Kazashiro felt overwhelmed.
No way, I was just a junior college student before I transmigrated. How could I possibly handle such complex knowledge?!
Aside from these chakra-related textbooks, the next items were even more significant.
"Sealing Jutsu Fundamentals, Sealing Jutsu Mastery, Sealing Jutsu... Burial? What's 'Burial'?! Oh, it's the 'Reversed Four Symbols Sealing Technique,' never mind then." Looking at the powerful sealing jutsu in his hand, capable of reaching 'Bridge' level destruction, Kazashiro quickly tossed it far away.
"This one, the Wind Release ninjutsu passed down through generations of the Shimura Clan. Oh, Sexy Sun Bro is in here too. And this one, holy crap, this is amazing, the Second Hokage's Water Release ninjutsu collection?!" The following items were quite interesting, consisting of Wind Release and Water Release ninjutsu.
Ice Release was formed by combining wind and water chakra, a fact Danzo knew well, which is why he specifically retrieved Tobirama's ninjutsu.
To become a master of Water Release ninjutsu, an abundant amount of chakra was essential.
Otherwise, while others could unleash a massive wave like the Great Waterfall Technique to create a lake, those with less chakra could at most conjure a puddle.
Although Kazashiro didn't possess the Senju Clan's bloodline, with his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, his chakra reserves might not reach 'Chakraton' levels, but they would be more than enough to surpass Kakashi.
