Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Danzo Shimura quickly and discreetly signaled Root to stop their actions, then immediately accused them of the same thing:

"This brat from the Uchiha clan is far too dangerous. I just wanted to talk to him, but he violently resisted me!"

"Using force to threaten the village's higher-ups, Hiruzen, you know how egregious this is, don't you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at Danzo Shimura, then glanced at Aoshui.

Although Aozumi's punch knocked Shimura Danzo down, it didn't leave any external injuries. So now he looks completely unharmed, and his complexion is even quite rosy...

In contrast, Qing Shui was not only pale, but also had dried bloodstains at the corners of his mouth and scratches under his eyelids.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a tremor in his heart.

This wasn't a violent confrontation with Shimura Danzo at all; it was clearly an attempt to kidnap someone and steal their eyes, which only failed!

"Aozuki, are you alright?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and asked softly.

"With me here, you are absolutely safe, so don't worry."

"Uncle Hiruzen, you've come at just the right time. I'm fine."

Qing Shui forced a smile and said weakly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a pained expression, feeling a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, he had noticed something amiss and rushed over immediately.

In recent days, his youngest son, Sarutobi Asuma, has seemed like a completely different person.

He became much more respectful to his father, which made him feel very comfortable. He also seemed to have a breakthrough in ninjutsu, mastering profound fire-style chakra nature transformation at such a young age, making him a child prodigy.

And all of this is closely related to Qingshui…

No matter what Asuma is doing, he always mentions Seisui, and his words are full of anticipation for becoming Seisui's partner in the future.

If Shimura Danzo were to destroy Aozumi, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't even dare to imagine how Asuma would view him as his father, or what he would think of Konoha and the Will of Fire!

He had promised Asuma and Aoshui that he would deal with the village's darkness...

As a result, the warrior who discovered the darkness was killed first?

If things really develop that way, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he would probably lose a son, and also a genius Uchiha boy who greatly respected him…

Not only Asuma, but Hiruzen Sarutobi also gradually began to genuinely like Aozumi.

After all, Qingshui respected him so much and was so proficient in the Will of Fire. He not only helped Asuma, but also understood human relationships.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled the scene of Aoisui calling him "Uncle Hiruzen" and lighting his cigarette, a warm feeling washed over him...

Therefore, the Hokage's anger has been ignited...

But Shimura Danzo didn't seem to realize the problem. Staring at the weakened Aoshui, he said coldly:

"This brat has secretly mastered a secret technique that can unleash his full potential, allowing him to increase his strength several times over in a short period of time. I believe this is extremely dangerous for the village, and we must investigate it thoroughly!"

"Hiruzen, I know he is a descendant of Kagami. Let him join my Root, and I will train him well to become a sharp blade of Konoha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face tense, took a deep breath: "Continue, Danzo."

Having received Hiruzen Sarutobi's affirmation, Danzo Shimura's smile turned sinister:

"Very good, Hiruzen, have you also seen the darkness and strangeness hidden in this brat's heart?"

"He's afraid of me. I promised to take him as my apprentice, but he refused!"

"Something's not right. How could a brat from the Uchiha clan refuse my invitation to assist the Hokage? He must have some secret he's hiding, something he's afraid I'll discover!"

Danzo Shimura appeared confident and in control, his eyes occasionally glancing at Seisui with a strong sense of aggression.

That look seemed to say, "You think you can run into this huge Konoha? This place is full of my people!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face grew even darker.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the roots that had been knocked down by Aozumi. None of them had fatal injuries; they had all been knocked unconscious, and even breathing could be heard from between their nostrils.

Look at Aoshui. He used a secret technique to resist your persecution, yet he still acted with such restraint, unable to bear harming the village's ninjas...

Mastering explosive secret techniques is tantamount to posing a danger to the village? What kind of logic is that?!

Don't you have one yourself?

How can you distrust such talented juniors? Where is the Will of Fire in your heart, Danzo!

As for why Qingshui rejected you?

That's because I, as the Hokage, took care of the village's younger generation and the descendants of my friends before you did. Who gave you the right to pin this on me?

Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered and was about to walk toward Danzo Shimura when Aomizu gently grabbed his sleeve.

Then, Qing Shui, pale-faced, slowly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice:

"Uncle Hiruzen, I think this is probably a misunderstanding. Danzo and you are both important high-ranking officials in Konoha. There is no need to have a conflict over a small matter involving a student like me from the Ninja Academy."

Immediately afterward, Aoshui forced a smile at Shimura Danzo:

"Danzo, if you are interested in Lord Tobirama's ninjutsu, you can send someone to inform me, and I will give you my grandfather's books..."

"I really enjoy sharing ninjutsu with the village's ninjas. Whether it's the Uchiha clan's Fire Release or my favorite medical ninjutsu, I want more Konoha ninjas to learn them and become stronger."

As he spoke, Qing Shui gathered chakra in his palm, transforming into the form of the Thousand-Armed Demon:

"Asuma and I have agreed that tomorrow we will study the commonalities between chakra control and the Thousand Hands Super Strength Technique. We plan to write a paper on ninjutsu, which may allow more Konoha ninjas to enjoy this close-combat technique."

"Uncle Hiruzen, if we succeed in our research, then Asuma and I will have completed a mission..."

"We made a promise that if we win a prize, we'll go out for barbecue together..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's breath hitched. No wonder Asuma had been frantically reading chakra control manuals lately, looking like he was thirsting for knowledge!

If Asuma doesn't see Seisui tomorrow...

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Aozumi's shoulder tenderly and said softly:

"Go back and rest. Asuma is waiting for you tomorrow, Qingshui."

Aokiji nodded, even saying goodbye to Danzo Shimura, and headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Even Danzo Shimura was stunned at that moment.

He couldn't tell whether Qing Shui was a fool with an excessively pure Will of Fire or a cunning Uchiha brat.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't give him much time to think.

With Aokiji no longer present, Hiruzen no longer needed to maintain his persona; in his place appeared the dignified Third Hokage!

Chapter 59: An episode where the bloodline is still relatively pure.

Danzo Shimura stared at Aomine's departing figure, his eyes filled with resentment.

He really grew to like Qingshui more and more.

He was almost forcibly kidnapped, and you're still going to speak well of him?

This incredibly stupid Uchiha, with such combat talent, is perfect for being brainwashed by Danzo Shimura, becoming the best weapon for him to ascend to the position of Hokage!

But in the blink of an eye.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked up to him without saying a word and looked at him expressionlessly.

Danzo Shimura felt a jolt in his heart.

Although Shimura Danzo was a size larger than Sarutobi Hiruzen in terms of height and build...

However, given his upbringing and current status, the Hokage's assistant will never be able to hold his head high in front of the Hokage.

"Danzo, is there anything else you want to say?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, his tone icy:

"In order to control Qingshui, you mobilized the Roots that protect the village to set up a barrier to block my senses. As the Hokage's assistant, are you so afraid that I, the Hokage, will see this?"

"How many things are you hiding from me? Hiding them from me, from the village, from the Will of Fire that Tobirama taught us?"

Danzo Shimura frowned and retorted:

“Hiruzen, I was just trying to prevent any unrest in the village. As you have seen, Uchiha Aomizu is not a ninja who follows the village’s orders without question. He might even refuse my orders as the Hokage’s assistant.”

"I still suggest that, although he is a descendant of Jing, we still cannot let our guard down against him!"

"Hand him over to me. I promise you, Hiruzen, I won't brutally mold him into a tool of Root, but will carefully nurture him into the next Kagami..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled inwardly.

You want to cultivate Qingshui into a second mirror?

Do you mean you're a great ninja like Tobirama? Or are you the Hokage of Konoha?

Is it your turn to train Qingshui?

That's mine, mine! A ninja that only I, the Hokage, can possess!

then.

Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly interrupted Danzo Shimura's rambling, pointing a stern look at him:

"The fate and future of Qingshui are my direct responsibility as the Hokage. It's none of your business to interfere!"

"You used the Root technique to block my senses as the Hokage without my permission, and you attacked a talented ninja in the village without authorization, severely injuring him..."

“In the past, when you extorted ninjas from the Yamanaka and Aburame clans, you at least negotiated with them verbally. As the Hokage, I could at least offer some reassurance in the name of expanding Root's power and protecting Konoha.”

"These days, you're becoming increasingly autocratic and utterly despicable!"

"Danzo, you've gone too far!"

Shimura Danzo's vision went black.

In fact, he didn't hear what Hiruzen Sarutobi said after that.

Just hearing "I am the Hokage" and "you are the Hokage's assistant" made his blood pressure rise.

That's it again!

always like this!

The title "Hokage's assistant" is only two words longer than "Hokage," but it represents an insurmountable barrier that no matter how hard one tries!

With just one word from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura would be powerless to resist and would even lose his job.
