Shimura Danzō was so envious he was practically going mad!
That was Wood Release!
Sarutobi Hiruzen had said that the Wood Release Hyuga Kagami wielded could cover the entire Hyuga Clan!
That immense Wood Release, and its power!
It was enough to make anyone tremble!
If he could wield Wood Release... With the prestige and reverence it commanded in Konoha, wouldn't becoming Hokage be a sure thing?
"The Hyuga Clan never intermarried with the Senju Clan, so you don't have any Senju Clan genes in your body. And before this, you never displayed any Wood Release!"
Shimura Danzō's eyes burned with desire.
"That means you acquired Wood Release all of a sudden!"
"If you're willing to tell me how you obtained Wood Release,"
he said, each word deliberate, "I'll give you a tremendous reward!"
Wood Release wasn't the only thing that mattered.
Moreover... Hyuga Kagami didn't seem to have any abnormalities, nor the slightest sign of incompatibility with Wood Release!
He had only transplanted a little of Hashirama Cells, yet now he needed two Sharingan to maintain his balance!
He instinctively rubbed his arm!
"I did acquire my Wood Release later in life."
Hyuga Kagami's lips curled upward. Looking languid, he said coolly, "But why should I tell you?"
"Put another way, you've spent your whole life striving and still only become an elite jonin. What makes you think you're qualified to work with me?"
He looked at Danzō with scorn.
As if he were looking at an idiot.
His voice rang like thunder!
His White Eyes blazed with scorching lightning, radiating boundless authority!
"You think you can dangle some grand promise in front of me and get me to help you? Shimura Danzō, which one of us is the idiot—you or me?"
"You're not qualified to work with me!"
