Guardian Twelve

In the bustling barbecue restaurant, Danzo skillfully sketched out a beautiful dream.

Xiao Li, who was diligently helping the two of them grill the meat, was stunned. These words sounded somewhat familiar to him, just like when Danzo first met him.

Danzo also noticed the change in Xiao Li, and looking at Might Guy, he said, "This is also why I introduced Xiao Li to you when I first saw him."

"He is very similar to your father, even more so than you, the son."

Might Guy blushed a little, feeling that he had disgraced his father.

"Your father became famous in one battle, but only left a mark in the hearts of the villagers."

"Don't you want to make a name for yourself, so that your descendants can proudly say in front of outsiders, 'I am a disciple of Konoha's Might Guy!'"

"Just like the Konoha White Fang, the Yellow Flash..."

Danzo's voice was like magic, causing the two people present to fall into it unconsciously.

"Can... can I do it?" Might Guy asked in a daze.

"Of course! Your father has already proven his strength! Now it is up to you to prove to the world that not only those with talent can be called geniuses, but also those who work hard can be called geniuses."

"That is a genius of effort!"

[Skill Points +1]

In front of Danzo's eyes, a prompt box suddenly appeared.

He was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and stretched out his hand to click in the void.

Originally, he just wanted to persuade Might Guy to be his henchman, but he didn't expect this guy to agree with him because of a few words. While feeling happy, Danzo was guessing the reason in his heart.

To a large extent, it was because he recognized his father and gave him a clear goal.

Although the ninjas in this world are very wary, at the same time, because they often wander between life and death, they care extremely about a certain thing or person.

If it involves what they care about, it will make them let go of their guard or reason.

What Might Guy cares about is his father, Might Dai.

"Danzo-sama, I will do my best to live up to your words!" Might Guy's eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

He felt that Danzo was not as insidious as Kakashi said, but rather made him feel that he couldn't wait to meet and get in touch with Danzo sooner.

If Danzo knew these words in his heart, he would probably chuckle directly.

Fortunately, the previous Danzo had not sent anyone to contact Might Guy because of his passionate and upward-looking appearance. If he had left a bad impression on him, Danzo would not be able to win his approval so easily now.

"Li! Since you have decided to follow Danzo-sama to fight, then I don't have much time to teach you! We can't waste time here!" Might Guy stood up abruptly from his seat and shouted with excitement.

"Yes! A Kai-sensei!" Xiao Li also stood up with enthusiasm.

Youth is so good.

Danzo couldn't help but sigh.

The two quickly bid farewell to Danzo and left the barbecue restaurant. Watching their backs, Danzo silently swept away the remaining food.

Now that he has vowed to lead the team into battle, although he knows that this battle is very likely not to happen, he still has to prepare first.

Although Danzo's previous life had experienced large and small mercenary missions, and he could be regarded as wandering between life and death.

But compared to this kind of war, he felt that the big scenes he had seen were probably nothing.

He still has to refine himself for a period of time, at least master seventy-eighty percent of what the original body should know.

Standing up to pay the bill, Danzo hurriedly left the barbecue restaurant. He planned to rush to the homes of those retired Root ninjas to express his condolences first.

The fastest way to improve strength is undoubtedly through the Good Person System on his body.

Root ninjas, because they often hide in the dark and rarely communicate with people, and hide everything in their hearts, generally have extremely deep defects in their hearts.

As their leader, Danzo naturally knows his subordinates very well.

He decided to take advantage of the time to contact these Root ninjas more, inquire about their recent situation, and try to win people's hearts to see if he could get a few more skill points.

Land of Fire Feudal Lord's Mansion.

Yume Ryoma, carrying Danzo's letter, was basically unimpeded in the Land of Fire.

The other letters had been sent to their targets through spies from other countries, while the letter to the Land of Fire Daimyo, Yume Ryoma delivered it himself.

"Anbu?"

As soon as he approached the Feudal Lord's Mansion, a figure wearing a ninja vest suddenly appeared in front of Ryoma.

Ryoma saw the person's appearance clearly, and after confirming that it was correct, he replied calmly: "Danzo-sama has a letter to deliver to the Daimyo."

The person before him was called Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, from Konoha Village, who joined the Guardian Twelve to protect the Daimyo.

The Guardian Twelve was a Daimyo guard composed of twelve elite Jonin.

Ninjas who could reach the Jonin level were extremely rare in the ninja world, let alone the elite among the Jonin.

But in this Feudal Lord's Mansion, there were twelve of them specifically to protect the Daimyo.

"Danzo?"

Asuma frowned. If it was a letter from Danzo, then the person in front of him should be a Root ninja.

He hadn't heard his father say that there was anything recently that needed to be confirmed with the Daimyo.

"Come in."

Also from Konoha Village, Asuma didn't stop Yume Ryoma, but silently followed behind him.

He was a little puzzled as to what kind of letter that Danzo had sent to the Daimyo behind his father's back.

Arriving at the main house, the Daimyo, who had already been notified, sat on a cotton cushion drinking tea, and a smile spread across his chubby face when he saw Ryoma arrive.

"What letter does Danzo have for me?" the Daimyo asked.

Before Ryoma could answer, another guardian ninja standing beside the Daimyo shouted sharply, "Why don't you take off your mask when you see the Daimyo!"

Asuma, who had entered the house behind Ryoma, frowned and looked at the person who had shouted.

This person was not from Konoha Village, but an elite ninja cultivated by the Feudal Lord's Mansion itself, and harbored a inexplicable hostility towards Konoha's ninjas. When he first arrived at the Feudal Lord's Mansion, this guy often made things difficult for him.

"Root ninjas are secretly identified and will not take off their masks, please forgive him, Daimyo," Asuma explained for Ryoma.

"How presumptuous!"

The man was about to say something, but the Daimyo waved his hand and said lazily, "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to see the ugly faces of these commoners either."

The smile on his chubby face became a little stiff, and his eyes stared straight at Ryoma, waiting for his reaction.

But Ryoma didn't react at all to the humiliation of the two men's duet.

He calmly handed over the letter and disappeared directly into a black shadow.
