A Glance That Shook Danzō

"With one stroke, it cleaved through the ground and the large trees on it?"

"Swordsmanship?"

Neji Hyuga, Tenten, Rock Lee all showed expressions of surprise.

Then, they all turned their gaze to the twin swords at Moke's waist.

While few ninjas wield swords, it's not unheard of. But to be able to slice through the ground and a large tree with a single strike—they've never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.

Finally, he gave Naruto a disdainful look.

If this person in front of you really has such amazing swordsmanship, why would he teach you?

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Moke nodded. "Okay!"

"Ah?"

Neji Hyuga, Tenten, and Rock Lee were completely taken aback; their eyes widened in disbelief.

Not only them, but even Naruto, who was known for his carefree attitude, was stunned at this moment.

Then she immediately became excited. "Really?"

Moke then smiled knowingly, "Of course, I can't teach you for free. You'll have to exchange it for ninjutsu of the same level... I can't possibly teach you for nothing!"

"Well?"

Naruto was completely dumbfounded.

"I knew it... How could someone so powerful be taught to Naruto so casually!" Neji Hyuga, Tenten, and Rock Lee couldn't help but laugh.

Clearly, they figured it out.

This person is making fun of Naruto!

"Oh, really?"

But just then, another person walked in.

This person had long silver hair, wore a black mask, and a black tight-fitting combat suit, covered with green Jonin chainmail. Red ANBU symbols were tattooed on his shoulders and back.

Most importantly, he had an eye patch over one eye.

"Hatake Kakashi!"

Moke's lips curled up slightly. His words were more directed at him than at Naruto.

This guy is known as Konoha's number one ninjutsu master, proficient in over a thousand ninjutsu Kekkei Genkai.

Is there a better trading partner than this guy?

At that moment Hatake Kakashi also looked at Moke, and their eyes met... no, their eyes met. They were both scrutinizing each other. Especially Hatake Kakashi, who, after a moment, smiled at Naruto.

At this moment, Naruto suddenly became clever. "Kakashi- sensei, he's the one who saved me."

Kakashi Hatake: "I must thank you for saving my three students during the exam."

Moke waved his hand dismissively. "Just a coincidence."

Hatake Kakashi: "You just said you'd trade your ninjutsu for your swordsmanship?"

Moke glanced at Kakashi Hatake, then at Naruto, and said meaningfully, "If you're doing this for the sake of this kid, it's not worth it. He doesn't have the talent... He's not suited for my swordsmanship. But... if you can give me satisfactory ninjutsu, I can give him some special training to improve his strength."

Naruto initially looked dejected, but quickly became excited again, looking at Kakashi Hatake anticipation!

Hatake Kakashi did not immediately respond to the suggestion, but instead gave Naruto a reassuring look.

Then he asked another question, "Before I came in, you said you wanted to stay in Konoha for a long time?"

Moke nodded. "That's the idea, but... it depends on what Konoha thinks. If you're not willing, then I'll have to look elsewhere."

Kakashi Hatake silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Then I'll leave it to you... However, you can only teach Naruto within the village."

Moke: "I know the rules... so don't worry!"
