"What's wrong with Kagetsu Qi?"
In the dark room, Danzo sat motionless on a chair, looking at his subordinates who were half-kneeling in front of him.
"It's been a month, are you awake?"
he asked grimly.
"Yes."
This subordinate responded,
"His body is fine."
That's fine... but how could it be that Orochimaru saved him in the end instead of you?"
"..."
The ninja who was half-kneeling in front of Danzo said nothing.
Because this time, they did fail. Although some kind of ninjutsu lying in ambush interfered with the Rock Ninja leader's attack at the last moment and saved Qi's life, the arrival of Orochimaru inevitably made Qi General blame Third Hokage's life-saving grace for this time.
On the contrary, if they had gone all the way to the end, the result would have been completely different. This was the result that Danzo wanted. No need for fancy words, but real actions and benefits to make Qi have a good impression of the Senju Clan series of martial arts factions.
Qi's performance on the battlefield also made the group of members who secretly protected him very satisfied. They also had the same idea as Danzo. Only by working with them can such a person return to his original strengths. Moderates who are gentle to others are not suitable for such people at all.
But Orochimaru's intrusion made them fail. Failure is failure, success is success, no explanation is needed.
This is Danzo's philosophy, and it is also a philosophy. Everyone thinks so. Otherwise, no matter how knowledgeable Danzo is, he will not be able to gather such a group of elites. Sharing the same philosophy is the basis.
"Forget it, it's not your fault. I'm very curious about Kagetsu Qi. His injuries are so serious. Although our people are responsible for the treatment, he can't recover so quickly."
After a while, Danzo changed the topic,
"Have you found out the reason?"
"Yes, the cause has been found out, and the result is very surprising."
A yellow leather bag appeared on the table at Danzo's hand,
"These are the test sheets for each of his physical examinations. They are all here."
"Huh?"
Danzo suddenly became interested. Words like "very surprising" could come out of the mouths of a group of people under him, which is a very surprising thing in itself.
He opened the seal on the bag, took out a full stack of test sheets, and then read them one by one.
Soon, as the test sheets were replaced one by one, his eyes slowly opened wide...
"This is..."
There was nothing unusual about the initial test sheets, but after only a dozen or so, it was obvious that some kind of mutation had occurred in Qi's body, and after he woke up, it was no longer a mutation!
The most important thing is that the thing recorded on the test sheet reminded him of a certain person.
It can't be that thing... That thing is...
"Besides you, has anyone else seen these test sheets?"
Danzo stood up suddenly and looked at the subordinates in front of him with cold eyes.
"Don't worry, sir. Kagetsu Qi's physical examination was completed by us alone. There were no outsiders, and we did not leave any backup. This is the only one."
"Very good! We must ensure that the information cannot be leaked. This is the highest level of confidentiality mission."
Danzo stuffed the stack of test sheets into his arms and walked out the door.
"I'm going to see Third Hokage. You go and finish the work. Clean up everything that needs to be cleaned and don't let people notice things that shouldn't be noticed."
"Yes!"
The responses from his subordinates quickly disappeared behind him, and for the first time in his life, Danzo, as if impatient, used his fastest speed to rush back to the surface from Gen's underground base and appeared in the village.
Along the way, Danzo, who looked gloomy, almost took a long stride and rushed to the Hokage building.
This area can be said to be the center of Konoha, where a series of the most important charity facilities such as Hokage's residence, Hokage Rock, emergency shelter, Ninja Academy, Jonin waiting room, Konoha Hospital, etc. are concentrated here.
If an ordinary person were to rush towards the Hokage building like Danzo, they would have been caught by Anbu who was hiding here, and in serious cases they would even be killed directly.
However, these Anbu just glanced at it and found out that the person coming was Danzo. They seemed not to see it and allowed Danzo to pass through their defensive area and rush directly into the building.
Come on... the black-faced brother is here again, this is none of their business, just keep working...
As for whether Danzo will be detrimental to Third Hokage, others don't know. Those of them who directly belong to Hokage in Anbu still don't know. The four giants of Konoha High Command are the masters of wearing a pair of pants...
The Anbu established by the Senju Clan series is known as the Shinobi World and the strongest Anbu. It is also the largest in scale. There are slightly powerful leaders who control some Anbu. Together, it is not a big number.
The core members of Anbu, who are directly under the four giants, are very familiar with each other. So they are also organized by Anbu, but they directly belong to Danzo.
I heard that some people have recently requested that Kei Danzo be disbanded after the war. This is probably why he came here. By the way, those people are in the office. I wonder what the scene will be like later...
Although, they never think that even if they can break up on the bright side, those people will not use Danzo as an excuse. It is most likely the leaders who want to take this opportunity to gain more say.
Sannin became a second ninja, and this negative influence finally showed some signs.
"Sarutobi!"
Danzo, who climbed to the top floor in one breath and was in an extremely unstable state, directly pushed open Hokage's office and rushed in.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the people in the office with an unkind expression.
At this time, there were quite a lot of people in Hokage's office. In addition to the four of them, several powerful leaders in the Senju Clan family were also present. However, they seemed a little embarrassed when they saw Danzo walking directly in.
For a moment, everyone was staring...
"Danzo, even you can't disrespect Lord Hokage, right?"
After about tens of seconds, one of the leaders came back to his senses. He looked at Danzo in stunned silence as he entered the door in such a "tough" way, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"This is Hokage's office."
"Nonsense, if you're not looking for Sarutobi, why would I come to his office?"
Danzo snorted coldly. He recognized these people as leaders of the moderate faction.
"If you have anything to do, finish it quickly. I have something urgent to do here and I have to be alone with the three of them!"
"..."
The leaders were immediately speechless...
What do you call them? In front of Danzo, ask Third Hokage to disband "Root" after the war?
They didn't think about falling out with Danzo directly, they just wanted to control Danzo's power. Among the four-person group, only Danzo could make a move. After all, they couldn't ask Hokage to reduce Anbu that directly belonged to him, right? After all, they were also moderate people, how could they attack their backer and boss?
As for Chun and Homura, they are consultants, similar to neutrals. Although they are lower than Danzo in terms of power, the problem is that they cannot be offended...
"Well, Lord Hokage, since you have something important to discuss, let's go first."
Helpless, they gave a forced smile and left here under Danzo's formidable eyes.
"Hmph!"
Seeing several people avoiding him, Danzo sneered darkly,
"Incompetent people! It is because of people like this that Konoha loses its majesty in Shinobi World!"
"Crack!"
The stack of test sheets that he put in his arms was thrown directly onto Third Hokage's table.
"I don't have much left. You three can see for yourselves. From now on, Kagetsu Qi is no longer just a new blood successor."
