"Danzo, it's not appropriate for you to do this..."

Just as the battle on the front line was in full swing, Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Konoha Village found his fellow disciples, Danzo.

Sandai did not beat around the bush, he went directly to the underground base. The relationship between him and Danzo was indeed complicated, but it was undeniable that both of them knew the basics, so it was extremely easy to come directly to the door.

Danzo can also enter Hokage's office without any hindrance. They are not enemies, but the common pillars of the Senju Clan's family.

"It's rare that you would take the initiative to find me."

Danzo looked at the third generation who appeared in front of him with some surprise. To be honest, normally, he would be the one who came to the door. Unexpectedly, today it was the other way around.

"Sit."

He gestured towards the seat opposite.

"Huh..."

After taking a puff of cigarette, Sandai nodded and sat down.

"What do you want from me? What do you mean by inappropriate?"

Seeing Sandai sitting down, Danzo opened his mouth and said,

"At this time, things on the front line are probably more important."

"Between you and me, why bother doing this? Let's save it for dealing with outsiders."

Sandai blew out another puff of smoke, his eyes were exquisite and lively, not at all like the mental state that a fifty-year-old person should have.

"I don't think I should give him the Water Release technique of Second?"

Danzo is a little indifferent,

"You know what Yuki is capable of on Water Release. Facts have proved that he did it. He saved the lives of his troops."

"This is not mine."

Sandai shook his head, showing a trace of displeasure.

"You and I are our own people. What have I stopped you from doing over the years?"

"You really didn't stop me, because I just did what you wanted to do but was inconvenient to do."

Danzo nodded,

"Then I'll be honest. You also know that it's harder to find someone than Anbu."

This is the truth. Regardless of Danzo's employment requirements, it is basically the darkest job of Konoha. It is definitely a job that challenges people's ethics and psychological quality. There are definitely not many people who can meet this standard.

To put it in simpler terms, if you are not a strong-minded and ruthless person working in this kind of organization, even if you have the strength, you will never be able to do it.

It is precisely because of this personnel structure that there are really not many forces in Konoha who dare to provoke others...

"Why is it so hard to find one? There are so many families. Could it be that you haven't found one you like?"

Sandai frowned, this answer obviously did not satisfy him.

What he said is also true. It is definitely not possible for Danzo to establish a family with strong support from several of his family members, including Sarutobi Hiruzen. In fact, the composition of the members is extremely complicated, involving almost all the big families in the Senju Clan family.

"Hmph!"

However, Danzo was even more unhappy than him,

"Don't you want me to understand? Why are you talking nonsense to me? If there is a suitable person, I will use Second's Water Release technique at will?"

He said coldly,

"I would give this kind of thing to anyone casually?"

"Then you can guarantee that he will be willing to join in the future. Don't forget. After all, he is a disciple of my lineage, and he is a person who cannot stand restraint. It is suitable for him to follow my path."

The third generation emphasized the pronunciation of the word "disciple and grandson".

"I am his master."

I will never go with you, and on the contrary, he is born to be dry!"

Danzo pointed to his eyes,

"Don't follow me. If you haven't noticed, then I'm here too. You can tell by looking at this kind of person. It's ruthlessness engraved in his bones, but he can't train it out. He usually smiles and kills people more easily than anyone else, and he doesn't worry about anything."

He sneered,

"For this kind of person, if you let him play those tricks of making love with you, isn't it a joke? He can live happily now, but he can't stand your kind of life."

"How do you know if you haven't tried!"

The third generation tiger was ashamed.

"Okay, let's each take a step back. When you asked me not to touch White Fang's son, I gave in. Now it's your turn."

Danzo shook his head indifferently,

"He is progressing so fast. He will definitely grow into Konoha in the future. An important force requires such a master. You know, mine is a real master. You already have Kakashi, so you can't compete with me for Kagetsu Qi."

"..."

Sandai still had no words, but his expression became calmer, and he kept puffing on the pipe in his mouth.

As for Danzo, he was not in a hurry. Sandai didn't say anything. He seemed to be in trance as an old monk. He just looked at Sandai with his cold and stern eyes.

After a while, Sandai spoke slowly...

"You are really that sure. You have to know that he is still alive now, but what will happen in the future is still uncertain."

You've always been the same stubborn person, so why don't we take a gamble?"

Danzo chuckled disapprovingly,

"Based on his current state, at the end of the war, it is likely that he will reach the Jonin level. At that time, I will invite him to join or I can invite him to join Anbu, and let him try it out before choosing. How about it?"

"Would it be too childish to try both sides?"

Sandai asked a little slyly, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Child's play? Anbu is originally invited first and then reviewed, and it is not officially listed. How can it be child's play? In short, you and I are just looking at it. He can choose whichever side he chooses. There is no point in arguing with you."

Danzo waved his hand scornfully, and a scroll shook out from his sleeve and fell in front of the third generation.

"He has made great military exploits this time. He will definitely be rewarded when he returns to the village. This is his. As for what you want to do, it is your business."

"Let's do it this way. This is all we can do now. If we are stubborn, what's the difference between you and me?"

Sandai knew that this was the only solution acceptable to both of them at present. He shook his head, put away the scroll, and stood up.

"If you have time... come and sit at my house. We haven't had a chat for a long time."

"I don't have any family to talk about..."

Danzo shook his head indifferently, then nodded again,

"But I will go..."

"Then it's settled."

Sandai's face, which already had many wrinkles, showed a hint of warmth, waved to Danzo, turned around and left.

"Old guy..."

Looking at the door where the third generation disappeared, Danzo first raised his eyelids, and then let out a slight sigh,

"I don't even think about it. We are all in the tens of years. How will we be able to function in the future if we don't have a master to lead us? You are trying to rob me of this. You are really an old fool."

After a while, he seemed to regain his energy, his eyes became solemn, and he drank,

"Someone is coming!"

"Danzo Master!"

A black shadow appeared.

"Find a few people to secretly protect Kagetsu Qi's life, but you can't help him fight, let alone let him know your existence."

After a pause, he added,

"When he discovers your identities, this mission will be over."

"Yes!"
