Significant Themes

  • The unpredictability of power: Even a seemingly failed summoning can conceal something far more significant than expected.
  • The contrast between legendary ninja and supernatural beings: Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama are accustomed to immense power, yet the Death God’s arrival creates a sense of uncertainty and danger.

  • Knowledge versus ignorance: Ito recognizes the Death God from his prior knowledge, while the summoned Senju and Madara must judge the entity based only on its aura and appearance.

Ch. 60A Reaction from the Konoha 11

Chapter Summary: “The Reactions of a Group of Little Strong Ones”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • A masked Root ninja arrives at the Ninja Academy with orders from Elder Shimura Danzō to take Ito Hirofumi away.
  • Iruka questions the ninja’s authority and demands to know whether the Third Hokage approved the order. The Root operative refuses to explain, claiming Danzō does not need the Hokage’s permission.
  • When the ninja shoves Iruka aside and attempts to take Hirofumi, Iruka firmly blocks him and declares that he will not surrender his student without official authorization.
  • The tense confrontation alarms the students. Several of the academy’s promising young ninjas prepare to defend Iruka and Hirofumi:
    • Sasuke draws a kunai.
    • Naruto becomes alert.
    • Shikamaru uses his shadow technique.
    • Kiba, Shino, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata each react with concern or readiness.
  • Hirofumi diffuses the situation by voluntarily agreeing to accompany the Root ninja. He reassures the class and Iruka that Danzō is unlikely to kill him, while subtly protecting the students from being branded as enemies of Konoha.
  • After Hirofumi leaves, Iruka rushes to inform the Third Hokage.
  • Inside Hirofumi’s Summoning Space, the legendary figures observing the scene react strongly to Danzō’s involvement. Tobirama reveals that Danzō was once his disciple, while Mito and Fugaku harbor resentment toward Danzō and Konoha’s leadership.
  • Hirofumi remains calm because of his own strength and the powerful figures available in his Summoning Space. He even looks forward to meeting Danzō, hoping to study or acquire the principles of Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan ability, Kotoamatsukami.

Character Developments

  • Iruka demonstrates strong courage and loyalty as a teacher. Despite Root’s authority, he openly defies Danzō to protect Hirofumi.
  • Ito Hirofumi displays confidence, composure, and strategic thinking. He deliberately submits to avoid escalating the situation and endangering his classmates, while privately believing he is more than capable of handling Danzō.
  • The academy rookies show unexpected solidarity and readiness to defend their teacher and classmate, suggesting the formation of strong bonds among them.
  • Danzō is characterized as secretive, coercive, and willing to bypass normal authority. His use of Root to seize Hirofumi creates an atmosphere of intimidation.
  • Tobirama reacts uneasily to the actions of his former student, while Mito and Fugaku reveal their longstanding hostility toward Danzō’s policies and legacy.
  • Hirofumi’s confidence borders on arrogance, particularly in his belief that Danzō’s reputation exceeds his actual combat ability and that Kotoamatsukami could be exploited for his own purposes.

Significant Themes

  • Authority versus moral responsibility: Iruka challenges Danzō’s official power because he believes a teacher’s duty is to protect his student.
  • Loyalty and solidarity: The students’ immediate willingness to stand with Iruka and Hirofumi emphasizes the strength of their emerging bonds.
  • Political distrust within Konoha: Root’s secretive behavior and Danzō’s disregard for the Hokage’s approval highlight the conflict between hidden authority and legitimate leadership.
  • Confidence versus danger: Hirofumi’s calmness contrasts with the threat posed by Root, raising questions about whether his confidence is justified or reckless.
  • The legacy of past leadership: The reactions of Tobirama, Mito, and Fugaku connect Danzō’s present actions to the historical damage caused by Konoha’s elders and policies.
  • Power and manipulation: Kotoamatsukami represents the frightening ability to control others, while Hirofumi’s desire to study it reflects his ambition and willingness to exploit dangerous techniques.

Important Character Interactions

  • Iruka and the Root ninja: Their confrontation establishes Iruka’s refusal to submit to intimidation and Root’s disregard for procedure.
  • Iruka and Hirofumi: Iruka tries to protect Hirofumi, while Hirofumi reassures him and voluntarily leaves to prevent further conflict.
  • Hirofumi and the rookies: Hirofumi’s warning keeps the students from attacking Root and potentially suffering severe consequences.
  • Tobirama and Hashirama: Tobirama identifies Danzō as his former disciple, prompting Hashirama to question the man’s current role.
  • Mito and Fugaku’s reactions: Their resentment toward Danzō reflects the broader historical grievances of the Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha.
  • Hirofumi and Danzō: Although they do not meet directly in the chapter, Hirofumi anticipates the encounter and views it as an opportunity rather than a threat.
