Sarcasm from a Villain

The Hokage's Office.

When the Fake Danzo arrived, he found that the Third Hokage and two elders were already there, looking at a report in their hands with very serious expressions.

To avoid being discovered, the Fake Danzo a cold expression and remained silent, going directly to his assigned spot.

You know what?

His performance was quite good and did not cause any abnormalities, which pleased him greatly, but he was even more impressed by the magic of the cookie.

"Danzo, look at that report. This time, something really serious has happened," the Third Hokage said, still shaken.

"Something terrible has happened?"

The Fake Danzo was taken aback, especially by the solemn expression on the Third Hokage, which surprised him even more.

He had met the Third Hokage several times and knew that the Third Hokage was a man of great composure, never showing his emotions.

But to his surprise, the Third Hokage was so solemn, which truly took him by surprise.

With a hint of curiosity, the Fake Danzo carefully examined the intelligence report, but his expression quickly changed. However, remembering his identity, he hurriedly composed himself and concealed his true feelings.

Because this information was about the Chasm, the Fake Danzo. Although he tried his best to control his mind, he was still very worried about being exposed.

To his surprise, no one around him seemed to find his behavior unusual; they appeared to think it was perfectly normal.

Obviously.

Faced with that terrifying Chasm, no one could remain calm, not even someone like Danzo.

Even.

Danzo's quick reconciliation impressed the Third Hokage and the two elders, who were Danzo amazed by his strong control over his mind and the depth of his Danzo.

However, the matter of that Chasm must be dealt with properly, so the Third Hokage said with a solemn expression.

"What kind of power do you think caused this? To create such a terrifying Chasm, the person who made this move must be incredibly powerful."

"Yes, their appearance at this crucial moment of the Chunin Ninja Exams is very problematic and we must be on guard," said Mitokado Homura, an elder.

"Defend? What can we use to defend against this? An attack like that would destroy Konoha in one hit. How can we defend against it?" Utatane Koharu retorted directly.

"This..."

Hearing this, Mitokado Homura was speechless, because it was the truth; they simply couldn't defend against such a powerful being.

"Danzo, what do you think?"

The Third Hokage looked at Danzo, wanting to hear his opinion, as this matter was too troublesome and no one had a good solution.

"Offering goodwill at this level has already exceeded the known limits of power. For the sake of Konoha, all we can do is offer goodwill," the Fake Danzo coldly, trying his best to maintain his composure.

"A gesture of goodwill?"

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at the Fake Danzo in surprise, feeling that he shouldn't have said that, but upon closer inspection, they realized that this was truly the only way to proceed.

When power reaches a point where it's unbearable, the only way to survive is to show goodwill, the only way is to compromise.

Although they were very reluctant to do this, they felt it was the only way for the sake of Konoha.

So everyone looked at each other, unable to refute the statement, and fell silent.

Seeing everyone's reactions, the Fake Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had maintained his image well and hadn't given himself away.

Ta-da!

A knock sounded at the door, and after receiving permission, Kakashi quickly stepped inside.

"Lord Hokage," Kakashi gestured slightly.

"What is it, Kakashi?" the Third Hokage asked, holding his pipe.

"That's right, there's the Chunin Ninja Exams a month, and this month I plan to focus on training Sasuke."

Kakashi paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm afraid I won't be able to supervise Naruto's training this month. I'd like to ask Ebisu to help with Naruto's instruction. I hope you can grant my request."

"No!"

The Fake Danzo jumped to his feet, coldly and loudly refusing.

"Um?!"

Everyone looked at the Fake Danzo with surprise, wondering why he suddenly jumped out to refuse. The key point Kakashi hadn't consulted him; wasn't he overstepping his authority?

The Third Hokage frowned slightly, wondering, "Why not?"

"Hmph, Kakashi is Sasuke and Naruto's teacher. Why should he teach Sasuke but not Naruto? That's very unfair to Naruto," the Fake Danzo said angrily.

He knew how terrifying Naruto's strength was. If this incident caused Naruto to feel unbalanced and he attacked Konoha, then Konoha would be finished.

Therefore, for the sake of Konoha Yamanaka Clan, the Fake Danzo risked having his identity exposed and refused loudly and without hesitation, with an extremely firm attitude.

His words made a lot of sense to everyone, even Kakashi was taken aback.

But everyone looked at the Fake Danzo strangely, after all, they all knew what Naruto had gone through before.

Everyone was thinking, "When Naruto suffered injustice before, Danzo didn't say anything. Why are you jumping Danzo so excitedly now?"

Of course, these words couldn't be said aloud, so everyone looked at Kakashi, wanting to see what he would say.

"I..."

Kakashi was somewhat bewildered, thinking to himself, "Whom I teach is my choice. What is Danzo to?"

But he still took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Naruto's foundation is relatively weak, so Ebisu is more suitable to teach him."

"Bullshit!" the Fake Danzo roared, banging his cane on the table.

"Ebisu has taught several generations of students, and they've all been like good-for-nothings. Even Konohamaru was terrible not long ago."

"Later, Konohamaru met Naruto and officially Jonin. What were your intentions in letting a trash teacher like Ebisu teach Naruto?"

Gaa!

Everyone stared at the furious Danzo, feeling somewhat bewildered, as his attitude had changed drastically.

He was just keeping a cold expression, and he could quickly regain his composure when faced with the Chasm incident. Why did he jump up as soon as he heard about Naruto? This is so abnormal.

The thing is, you used to say a lot about imprisoning Naruto, so why are you acting like such a benevolent person now? That's really strange.

But what the Fake Danzo made a lot of sense. Everyone thought of the students taught by Ebisu, and their faces turned ugly, especially the Third Hokage, who felt very depressed.

Have no choice.

The Third Hokage said, "Kakashi, Danzo's words do have some merit. But don't worry, Jiraiya might return in a while, so let him take over the training of Naruto."

"No, we must train Naruto first, and wait until Jiraiya is truly back before leaving. Otherwise, we don't know when Jiraiya will return," Danzo roared again.

Everyone: "..."

The expressions on everyone's faces were priceless at that moment. They all looked at Danzo with strange expressions, as if Danzo might have a screw loose, because he was showing far too much concern for Naruto, almost to the point of being excessive.

Unbeknownst to them, the Fake Danzo was also anxious. He had risked being discovered to save Konoha, knowing that if Danzo were truly angry, things would be in serious trouble.

For the sake of Konoha, the Fake Danzo must be resolute and protect Naruto, ensuring he doesn't feel even the slightest bit unbalanced, and absolutely forbidding Kakashi from teaching Sasuke first.

This attitude infuriated Kakashi. He said coldly, "I am their teacher. I can teach whomever I want. You have no right to interfere."

"Heh, what an ungrateful wretch." The Fake Danzo sneered at Kakashi.

"What did you say?"

Kakashi's face was cold, his eyes fixed on Danzo. He was truly angry this time, and Chakra surged around his body.
