The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 201: Unfortunately, Akai doesn't want to recognize me as his godfather...

Are we putting aside the pursuit of power and the continuation of the family line?

Most people wouldn't go crazy to that extent.

But Shimura Danzo will.

For the sake of Konoha Village, and even more for the sake of power and the ambition to become Hokage... He rooted himself deeply in the dark, in the roots, and moved around in dark corners all year round; he didn't give anyone the opportunity to catch his flaws, and he didn't allow himself to have any ties other than F4! He also didn't want to distract himself from taking care of his family.

He adopted a cold attitude towards love affairs and even towards the Shimura clan.

Otherwise, even if Danzo died in the original work, he should at least have a son or a clan member who became the "successor" and then seek revenge on Uchiha Sasuke, or cause trouble for Sakura and her daughter or something.

It can be said that Danzo is the biggest outlier among F4.

This is also the real reason why the other three people trust this old friend very much!
No descendants means that no matter how big the Root grows, it will still be the Root of Konoha, and will not become the Root of the Shimura family. Once Danzo grows old and is no longer able to do what he wants, the power of the Root will return to Konoha.

However, what Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu and others did not expect was that their best friends had been "upgraded".

Not only did he have a more global vision, but he also had the idea of ​​finding a successor to consolidate the base of power.

This is not.

root base.

The first thing Yakushi Nonou did when he returned was that he was stunned by a belated birthday dinner.

There were not many people attending the meeting.

There are only a few people including: Li Xia, one of his confidants Ryoma Aburame, Kabuto Yakushi, Karin and her daughter, Kai, "the only successful experimental subject of Wood Release" Tenzo (also known as Yamato in the later period), and Terai.

These are also the core members of the root today.

They are the main team of the future.

"Welcome home, Nono! I remember your birthday is March 3th, but I was on a mission in the Rain Country before, and I almost died there, so I naturally couldn't transfer you back. Although this birthday dinner is ten days late, it can more or less make up for the regret..."

Li Xia said softly, exhausted.

The shadow clone dissipated as it approached the root base.

What came back to me at that moment, in addition to the scattered memories of the past few days, was an extremely strong feeling of fatigue.

If it was his real body, this feeling of fatigue would not be a big deal and would pass in a few seconds; but for Danzo's aging body, it was really too much. So he sat down on the stool and it took him a long time to recover.

"Lord Danzo..."

Pharmacist Nono knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

As a qualified ninja, he would never be easily moved, let alone act on impulse. But at this moment, Nono's heart, which was only open to orphans and children, was squeezed in by another figure.

"Get up, you are the protagonist today."

Li Xia smiled.

"Dean..."

Pharmacist Kabuto trotted forward, his excitement difficult to calm down.

Two years ago, as a war orphan, I was rescued by the director of the Konoha Orphanage and taken in by him. After that, he has been taking care of me like a mother, and named me Kabuto Yakushi after I lost my memory, giving me the rare warmth in this troubled time.

For the dean's mother, he can give everything he has.

After being separated for several months, he missed the dean so much.

It's great to see the Dean again so soon.

"Dou, you've grown taller again."

Nono touched the little guy whom she treated as a child, and the professional smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a happy smile from the heart.

After the banquet, Li Xia kept the beauty known as the "walking witch".

There is something important to discuss.

Kabuto was sent to where Jiraiya was.

After this, I believe that Kabuto's favor towards him has increased. As long as Nono, whom Xiaogui regards as his mother, is in his hands, Kabuto is his own person and one of the most promising potential stocks in his hands. Any other means of control seem redundant.

"Master Danzo, do you need me to report the mission status again?"

The woman half-knelt on the ground, extremely respectful.

Li Xia shook his head:
"I didn't stay here to listen to the mission report."

"That is?"

"You should know that I have never been close to women, so I have no children, and there is no suitable heir in my family, right?"

"know a little."

For some reason, Nono felt inexplicably restless.

Her eyes began to evade.

"I am 57 years old this year. If I don't have children, my family line will be cut off. After what happened in the Rain Country, I understand the dangers involved. Therefore, I decided to find a good man to continue the family line for my Shimura family..."

Having said this, Nono suddenly understood.

"My Lord, you..."

"Yes, you are the woman I like most. Your strong character as a mother is just right for taking care of a child. But I won't force you. I will give you a month to think about it so that you can think clearly about the pros and cons."

We are all adults now, and we no longer consider issues solely from the perspective of romantic feelings, but more from the perspective of interests and a sense of responsibility towards future generations.

Given Danzo's status, he could definitely get a lot of women if he wanted. Once a woman became his, her status would rise immediately; if she gave birth to a child, the child would definitely inherit everything of the Shimura family, and it is even possible that he would become the next leader of the Root and join the upper echelons of Konoha.

Old cows eating young grass?
No no no…

Given Yakushi Nono's current status and position, it would be completely out of his league to hook up with him.

Therefore, this situation should be called the temptation from the young grass.

"Danzo-sama, why me?"

Nono couldn't figure it out. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

"To like a person, you don't need her to have excellent ninja talent. Your strengths are not possessed by countless women with powerful ninja talents. I can feel the flawless maternal radiance in you just by being close to you, and I just need such a virtuous wife."

This woman's greatest strength is not the little tricks she used to gather intelligence as a veteran spy.

It is not the fighting power represented by the title of "Walking Priestess".

It is not the medical ability of Konoha Village which is second only to Tsunade at present.

It's the motherly glow of super affinity that children cannot resist.

It can be called a "child killer".

In the original work, Danzo had no idea what this affinity meant.

Yakushi Kabuto is just one of the reasons.

Even without Kabuto Yakushi, wouldn't the children with ninja potential in the orphanage still become Konoha's ninjas when they grew up and participated in the Fourth Ninja World War? Kabuto's playmate in the orphanage, the fat boy who could be regarded as Kabuto's brother, fought on the battlefield of the Fourth World War.

Arino Nou wins the children's love with her maternal side, and then he appears as a strict father.

This is the correct way to open Konoha Orphanage.

The cannon fodder trained is more cohesive.

Only by taking these two approaches together will the boys be truly devoted to him, otherwise they will probably just hope that he dies soon.

"Go down and think about it carefully. What I need is a good wife who cares about me wholeheartedly, and I don't want you to be reluctant."

Li Xia saw the girl off and tapped the handrail lightly with his right fingertips.

The safest way to win this woman over is of course to become a member of the Shimura family.

Yakushi Nono followed the custom of this world and became Shimura Nono, which was a safe choice. As long as he was not going to destroy the world, his wife would support him. Just like when Uzumaki Mito married Senju Hashirama, she was not called Uzumaki Mito at all, but Senju Mito. Sarutobi Biwako was not called Sarutobi Biwako before she married Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Haruno Sakura became Uchiha Sakura.

Nono became his woman, and Kabuto became his adopted son.

And Dou is not the kind of person like Lu Bu who specifically stabs his adoptive father.

"It's a pity that Akai doesn't want to acknowledge me as his godfather, otherwise my ship would be more stable."

Thinking of this, Li Xia suddenly felt that Whitebeard's approach would be really useful in Konoha Village and at the root.

The operating space is huge.

Whether it is the future Naruto, Sasuke, Kimimaro, Haku, Jūgo, or the brothers Shin and Sai, they are all excellent candidates for godsons.

Are they going to set up a Danzo Pirate Group?

Another captain of the 16th squad?
"How about... let's get together?"

It is not easy to gather sixteen Kage-level fighters, but there is still hope of training ten Kage-level young people.

...

After a few more days of adaptation, Li Xia thoroughly understood the memory fragments left by Shimura Danzo.

Although the memory is incomplete, it is enough.

The older the memories, the less important they are, and the older people have almost forgotten them.

The more recent and important the memories are, the more clearly the elderly remember them.

For example, the scene when the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, entrusted the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the many secrets of the desire to bring down the Uchiha clan and the Root, and the wonderful past of helping each other and sharing weal and woe with the other three members of Konoha's F4. What is most remembered is naturally the related ninjutsu secrets that this body has mastered.

It was at this time that Li Xia truly replaced Danzo Shimura.

During these days, Karin and her daughter have also adapted to life among the roots.

Then today, Li Xia took me to the Hokage Building.

"Fourth generation, this is the Uzumaki clan member I mentioned to you..."

The basic information of every Root member must be reported to the Hokage. There is no way around it. Rules are rules.

Besides, he really wanted the Namikaze Minato couple to get acquainted with Vanilla Karin and her daughter.

It would be great if the mother and daughter could fight for their own survival, use their status as survivors of the Uzumaki clan, their natural goodwill as clan members, their years of exile, and their experiences in Kusagakure Village to win Kushina's sympathy, and then learn the Uzumaki clan's core sealing technique inherited from Mito from Kushina, the little Uzumaki princess!

"Counselor Danzo, thank you, thank you..."

Kushina, who was standing by, could also see the members of the Uzumaki clan, and her eyes immediately turned red.

She thought she was the only one left in the Uzumaki clan.

I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.

She was already pregnant with Naruto and had a maternal side. When she saw little Karin, who was two months away from turning one, her maternal love overflowed.

He walked quickly forward, held her in his arms and kissed her twice.

"I have heard from Advisor Danzo about what you and your daughter have been through over the years. From now on, you will stay in Konoha. Konoha will become your true home."

Namikaze Minato smiled gently.

The three F4 members, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, looked at their old friend with surprise at this moment: It's different.

Completely different.

After the incident in Rain Country, my old brother has become very sensible.

"Danzo, thank you for your hard work."

"Everything is for the village. It doesn't matter how hard it is..."

Li Xia waved her hand.
