Painfully Beating the Hokage

It's late at night.

Seeing that Kazashiro was already asleep next door, Asuma quietly got up.

He left the hospital soon, his entire figure shrouded in the night.

"That rebellious son is not bad; he knows how to support commoner ninjas as the foundation and break the situation where the Ninja Clan have too much say."

After listening to Asuma's explanation, Danzo slightly, agreeing with Kazashiro's suggestion.

"Don't make a fuss about this; I'll handle it myself."

Looking at the cast wrapped around Asuma's hand, Danzo rarely showed concern. "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, you still need to rest properly. Kazashiro can't do without you."

"Yes, teacher."

"Of course, your lack of skill was also a key factor in this injury. How about this, after you recover, come train with me in your spare time, and I will personally guide you."

After showing concern, comes the need for constructive criticism.

Asuma is quite talented; his Ninjutsu and Taijutsu are at the Jonin level.

However, in terms of Ninjutsu skills, he was inferior to Kakashi of the same period, and in terms of Taijutsu training, he was inferior to Might Guy of the same period.

If we're talking about sheer strength, even he's no Kazashiro.

In summary, the brilliance of this son of Hiruzen Sarutobi has been overshadowed by his peers, and he can only rely on his excellent family background to establish himself among the Jonin.

"Don't be resentful. Your strength is far from enough to crush an ordinary Jonin. You're only slightly stronger than Jonin. Fortunately, you're still young and have time to improve your skills."

Asuma was somewhat taken aback upon hearing Danzo's explanation.

His teacher never spoke so much to him. Even during the time when he was a teenager studying under Danzo, Danzo would only use concise language to explain the essence of his teachings.

What remains is an endless Wind Release Whips... especially after his argument with his father...

"By the way, did Kazashiro experience any different symptoms after the injection?"

Suddenly, Danzo asked Asuma about Kazashiro's situation without any apparent reason.

What's different after getting the injection?

Does being able to boast even more than before count?

Although Asuma didn't understand why Danzo suddenly showed concern for Kazashiro, he answered the question truthfully, "The same as always."

Not long after Asuma left, Aburame Ryoma appeared before Danzo.

Aburame Ryoma maintained his expressionless demeanor.

There are two things I need you to do.

Danzo high above, issuing orders to his former subordinate with an air of authority.

"Firstly, there are many unstable elements around the new daimyo. I hope they will not appear in front of the daimyo in the future and sow discord between the Hokage and the Daimyo's Mansion."

Secondly, the Fifth Generation plans to collect the village 'Chunin clan secret techniques and Chakra training methods, making them available to civilian ninjas. Go and tell Shibi to cooperate fully."

"Yes."

Aburame Ryoma accepted Danzo's orders.

"Yes, go down. Remember, this is a critical time in the fight against the Ōtsutsuki. Konoha must not fall into chaos."

Danzo finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to look through the unknown book in his hands.

"Hey, Dad, hand over Yaowan's eyes."

After a night's rest, Kazashiro left the hospital refreshed after saying goodbye to Asuma. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his already enormous amount of Chakra seemed to be even more than before he rested.

Knowing his father's ways, he found Danzo in the Anbu Training Department office.

In the somewhat dimly lit room, Danzo a book with his head down. Although Hiruzen was not there, the room was still filled with a faint smell of smoke.

Seeing that Danzo was ignoring him, Kazashiro mustered his courage and took a few steps forward, clearing his throat in an attempt to attract Danzo's attention.

"Ahem, Danzo's former advisor?"

"Huh?" Danzo looked up abruptly upon hearing this title.

Kazashiro subconsciously took a step back, but remembering that he was the Hokage, he mustered his courage and continued to approach, "Former advisor to Danzo, this Yaowan's eye is of great research value. I hope you can hand it over and send it to the Konoha Research Bureau for research."

"You..." Danzo shook his head as he looked at his son standing in front of him.

"You trust Orochimaru, that venomous snake, too much. He's an ambitious guy. Even a three-year-old knows not to put all your eggs in one basket. Why did you...?"

Danzo closed the book and began to explain to Kazashiro why he did it.

"Orochimaru is a member of Konoha, and I believe he wouldn't do anything detrimental to the village."

"Ha, a man who can betray even his teacher and throw away the bond between master and disciple, how could he possibly have any feelings for the village?"

Danzo sneered, making no attempt to hide his fear of Orochimaru.

"You..."

Kazashiro was about to retort when he suddenly remembered a famous scene.

"Um, I am the Hokage, Danzo... former advisor!"

"You're too weak, you unfilial son!" Danzo retorted instinctively, getting up to leave.

Before he even reached the door, Danzo suddenly realized that this was his office, and if anyone should be leaving, it should be his unfilial son in front of him.

Seeing his father return, Kazashiro suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Danzo grabbed a book from the table and strode menacingly toward him.

"Well, I have other matters to Hokage to, so there's no need to see me off, former advisor Danzo..."

"Father, I was wrong, Father!"

"Ouch, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

Once Danzo had vented his anger enough, he laid the books, which had been rolled up into a bucket, flat and looked coldly at his rebellious son, who was kneeling upright in front of him.

"I have already sent those eyes to Hiruko."

"Ah?"

Kazashiro was taken aback upon hearing this.

"What?! Do you think I'm the kind of person who covets the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

Seeing his unfilial son's reaction, Danzo became furious and grabbed a book, ready to continue beating the Hokage.

"Isn't that right? Sigh, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence!"

In the tightly closed office, Kazashiro's wails could be heard from time to time.
