Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Naruto stared blankly at Shuzawa, wondering if the older brother had made a mistake.

How could this be a punishment? It was clearly a reward!

But soon, he realized that this older brother was doing it on purpose.

In that instant, he seemed to truly feel the taste of being acknowledged, which made his eyes sting a little.

"Crap! I forgot to ask their names!"

Kakashi quietly watched this scene, then turned and left.

He didn't want to be stopped by Naruto and asked a bunch of questions, especially since he had mixed feelings about Naruto. However, he was secretly thinking.

"That kid, not bad after all."

But just as he left, Teuchi, who had given the ramen to Naruto, suddenly chased after him.

"Please wait a moment, Kakashi-sensei."

"What is it, Teuchi-sensei?"

"The total for three bowls of extra-large ramen is..."

"..."

Kakashi's exposed eye turned into a dead fish eye. He felt like his evaluation of Shuzawa was a little premature.

Chapter 9: You've Gone Too Far

"Hello, everyone. I'm a newly assigned ninja. My name is Uchiha Shisui. Please take care of me."

On a riverbank in Konoha Village, Uchiha Shisui introduced himself with a smile. Shuzawa wasn't surprised by the arrival of this person.

After meeting with the Third Hokage, he was sure that his boss, Danzo, had reached an understanding with his good buddy.

Besides, he had already been sent to the Anbu. If Danzo couldn't achieve his set goals, wouldn't he have been sent for nothing?

For Danzo, who prided himself on being ruthless and couldn't stand to lose even in a dogfight, this was absolutely unacceptable!

"Shisui-senpai, I didn't expect it to be you."

Yugao looked at Shisui with some surprise. Shisui was only a little older than her, but he entered the Anbu with the title of 'genius'.

And he didn't have the arrogance typical of other Uchiha. His reputation in the Anbu was quite good. Why would such a genius come to their team?

Yugao had always thought that after the team was reorganized, someone with a similar background to Hayate or others would join.

"It's probably a matter of assignment."

Shisui explained with a smile.

"The Hokage-sama said that this team is very excellent, but due to casualties from missions, and I might be better at cooperating with the two of you, he chose me."

Shisui's words were very humble. Even Shuzawa, the old fox, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although in Shuzawa's memory, this Uchiha 'hero' didn't seem to have a very good brain.

And he always ejaculated prematurely when he should be hard, and was stubbornly unyielding when he should be soft, like when he committed suicide, no one could stop him.

But as it stands now, he seems pretty good.

"Senpai, my name is Shihara Shuzawa. Please take care of me in the future."

While inwardly pondering, Shuzawa still maintained a smile and nodded to Shisui.

No matter what Shisui was like, Shuzawa's Root mission was considered complete. When the time comes, he could just muddle through and say he was 'grateful for Danzo-sama's cultivation'.

Besides, this guy Shisui has the Mangekyo Sharingan. If they really encounter any trouble, at least someone can cover their backs...

After a brief chat, everyone became familiar with each other. Although Yugao seemed cold, she was essentially warm-hearted.

And Shisui was truly an Uchiha that the 'Second Hokage would love'. He was unpretentious and particularly enthusiastic.

However, Shisui seemed to be curious about something. After hesitating for a moment, he asked softly and curiously.

"Yugao, Shuzawa, when I came over just now, I saw you seemed to be with that kid?"

"Are you talking about Naruto?"

Shuzawa blinked. Yugao also felt a little helpless. Although she had only interacted with him briefly, she didn't think Naruto was that bad, right?

"Yes."

Shisui didn't know what the two were thinking. Recalling the Third Hokage's words and the rumors in Konoha, he felt he should remind his teammates.

"You should have heard some voices too, that kid seems to symbolize misfortune..."

Here we go again with this rhetoric...

Shuzawa and Yugao exchanged glances. Shuzawa's eyes were full of amusement, while Yugao's face was full of embarrassment.

Their expressions didn't escape Shisui's notice, which made him wonder if he had said something wrong.

"Shisui-senpai, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, please speak."

"Senpai, you've gone a bit too far. Are you questioning the Hokage-sama's decision?"

"! ?"

Uchiha Shisui's expression instantly changed... — —

Konoha Village, the Root's underground base.

This place was gloomy and dark. Entering it seemed to evoke a sense of oppression.

Even though there were towering and magnificent pavilions built inside, as well as large training grounds, and several Root trainees were practicing inside, it couldn't change the atmosphere.

However, Danzo liked this atmosphere very much. In his view, the Root should exist beneath the shadow of Konoha, deeply rooted in the darkness.

And he must use all means to eliminate those who threaten Konoha!

As for whether all of this was really as he thought, he didn't need others to think. It was enough that he himself thought so.

"That kid should have handed the thing over to Orochimaru, and he should have teamed up with Uchiha Shisui."

In an office inside the base, Danzo pondered while flipping through the files in his hand.

"Hmph, kid, you better perform well. This old man has paid a lot of price."

For Danzo, it was incomprehensible for an Uchiha to enter the Anbu, even if he once had a fellow disciple named Uchiha Kagami.

And this Uchiha Shisui was even a descendant of Uchiha Kagami.

"'A' should act too. Kakashi's eye..."

Touching his own blind eye, Danzo pondered. He could indeed take out and use Shisui Uchiha's eye directly.

He had preserved that eye back then, but Kakashi's ability to use Obito Uchiha's eye indicated that either the eye was special, or Kakashi was.

Regardless of the reason, Danzo wanted to retrieve Obito Uchiha's eye and test 'A's' combat abilities.

When 'A' assassinated Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was defeated by Kakashi in one move.

Doesn't that mean Wood Release can't beat Sharingan?

Danzo couldn't tolerate that!

"This time, 'A' must achieve something."

Thinking of this, Danzo looked at the files in his hand. Besides being the leader of Root, he was also the Hokage's assistant.

He had access to countless intelligence reports, allowing him to consider how to benefit his village!

"The Land of Rain... still in turmoil. Hanzo, that bastard, tricked me, forcing me to rebuild Root. Now he's turtling?"

"The Land of Earth... Onoki still wants to move south? It seems their conflict with Sunagakure will escalate. Let's see if we can add fuel to the fire and make them fight."

"Yakushi Nonou's intelligence capabilities are impressive, worthy of the title 'Walking Witch'."

"But she's still a threat. Asking for photos again?"

"The Land of Wind... Kabuto Yakushi's information? Kirigakure is harassing Sunagakure?"

"Unable to infiltrate the Land of Water. Didn't expect to get information here."

"However, Pakura of the Scorch Release seems to be performing well against Kirigakure. But how will Rasa deal with the combined attacks of Kirigakure and Iwagakure?"

"Find a way to figure it out, and see if we can do something. It would be best to eliminate that woman; after all, it's Scorch Release."

"The Land of Lightning... Those Cloud ninjas are still ambitious. They seem to have their eyes on the secret techniques of the Land of Iron. A pack of vicious dogs!"

Danzo's attitude towards the other villages in the ninja world was consistent: he looked down on them equally, with the intention of destroying them all.

But unfortunately, his old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't share his views, so he could only act as a 'stirring stick,' plotting and scheming in the dark.

Whether it was to win over allies or assassinate opponents, everything he did was for Konoha.

Of course, he was also doing some 'small things within his power' to prepare for his own rise to power. He would conquer the ninja world one day!

"Hiruzen, you're too soft."

Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

But to his surprise, a familiar voice echoed beside him.

"Is that so? Perhaps. But I also think, Danzo, you've gone too far."

New book, please follow, please favorite.

Regarding Pakura, I searched all the information and couldn't find when she died, so I can only look at her disciples. Therefore, I speculate that it was roughly between the end of the Third Shinobi World War and the present time.

Chapter 10: That's My Man!

"Hiruzen, why are you here?"

Danzo admitted that he was indeed startled. After all, if someone could enter Root silently, the consequences would be unimaginable!

But seeing that the person was his old friend, his emotions stabilized instantly.

Danzo couldn't say he liked this old friend. Although they had been brothers for so many years, and this old friend had even spared him from the crime of assassination.

But he still hadn't become Hokage, wasn't that his old friend's fault?

But he only dared to think about these things in his heart, and he was also curious about what his old friend had come to do here?

"Also, although my words were a bit excessive, don't you think your handling of many issues highlights your weakness?"

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi also raised an eyebrow. He realized that Danzo didn't even want to call him Hokage?

But he didn't take it too seriously, he had gotten used to it over the years.

"What was your purpose in letting that child enter the Anbu? I don't want to delve into it for the sake of unity, after all, Root is the Anbu's training base."

Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not want to delve into it?

Danzo almost blurted out, but reason told him to forget it, anyway, it was nothing serious.

"But..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly before continuing.

"Didn't we have an agreement that you wouldn't interfere with Naruto's affairs? But why are you going back on your word and letting that child get in touch now? Don't you think you've gone too far?"

What?

Contacting Naruto Uzumaki?

Danzo's mind was buzzing at this time, and he hadn't reacted for a moment, but soon he suddenly realized something.

Was it that kid Shisui Zhigawa? Had he been in contact with Naruto?

But it seemed that he had no such arrangement, and that kid didn't even know what Naruto Uzumaki's identity was, right?

"I..."

Danzo opened his mouth to explain, but soon he realized that he didn't need to explain at all.

He had always wanted to let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki enter Root. In his opinion, dangerous things like Jinchuriki should stay in Root!

The Nine-Tails Night led to the sacrifice of Konoha's Fourth Hokage and a large number of elite ninjas, which put Konoha in a state of internal and external troubles.
