As Danzo spoke, he moved his wrists and neck, making a cracking sound from his joints.
After the event, Danzo revealed a cruel smile: "I guarantee you'll benefit greatly from it!"
Upon hearing Danzo's voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled violently, and his braced arms nearly gave way, causing him to fall to the ground.
He quickly got up from the ground, slowly turned around, and looked at Danzo, who was not far away with a mocking expression. He felt as if his chest was starting to ache again.
Although the trauma of being defeated by Danzo yesterday has healed, the oppressive feeling in my memory is still vivid.
His pupils contracted slightly, and he involuntarily took a half step back, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Danzo took in the whole scene, and a sense of indescribable satisfaction welled up in his heart.
Hiruzen Sarutobi actually showed such a weak and vulnerable demeanor in front of him!
So tempting!
It's so tempting to play!
Danzo licked his dry lips, his excitement evident in his eyes.
He was still not satisfied last night, and now this monkey has obediently delivered itself to his door again. How can he not be eager to try it?
He smirked and slowly raised his fist, preparing to recreate yesterday's game.
It's so satisfying to bully this overconfident monkey!
[Ding! Danzo Shimura's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!!]
At the critical moment, a figure flashed out from the side and stood between Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Uchiha Kagami gave Danzo a reassuring smile and gently advised, "Danzo, we're all comrades, don't be like this. Hiruzen was just injured yesterday, let's let it go today."
Danzo narrowed his single eye and stared at Uchiha's mirror for a moment.
That guy, Mirror...
Hmph, although he's an Uchiha, his personality is alright enough; he's one of the few Uchiha who isn't so annoying.
Danzo hesitated for a moment.
He withdrew his raised fist, glanced sideways at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and waved his hand casually: "Hmph! I can't be bothered with him."
……
in the audience.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three disciples also witnessed this scene.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry that his beard trembled. He slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and shouted, "That shameless old man Danzo! He's so old, yet he's still bullying teenagers all day long! Doesn't he have any shame? Is this fun?!"
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Orochimaru was as pleased as ever upon hearing this.
“I think Elder Danzo is enjoying himself.”
He was right.
It's a pity Danzo himself wasn't here, otherwise he would definitely have nodded in agreement without hesitation.
interesting!
Very interesting!
Bullying monkeys is the most interesting thing he's ever done in his life!
Hearing Orochimaru's response, Hiruzen Sarutobi became even more furious, his face turning red, his fists clenched tightly, and he remained silent.
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a silent glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
However, the two of them looked rather uninterested today, clearly not in high spirits.
Jiraiya couldn't help but steal another glance at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, however, remained with his arms crossed, looking indifferent and aloof, completely ignoring him.
Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but looking at Orochimaru's cold profile, the words that were about to come out of his mouth ultimately turned into a long sigh.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
He had already tried to explain to Orochimaru when he came in, but Orochimaru ignored his explanation.
……
on the screen.
Uchiha Kagami scratched his head sheepishly, wanting to say something more.
However, just then, a calm voice suddenly came from not far away: "They're all here."
Upon hearing this voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi shuddered, his tense nerves instantly relaxing.
He let out a long breath, a look of relief flashing in his eyes.
saved!
The three of them turned to look in the direction of the sound.
A tall figure had appeared at the edge of the training field at some point.
The newcomer was tall and straight, his black clothes fluttering in the morning light, making him particularly eye-catching.
His brows exuded authority as he calmly surveyed the three people in the room.
It was Uchiha Izuna!
"Izuna-sensei!" Uchiha Kagami and Sarutobi Hiruzen almost instinctively straightened up and bowed respectfully to the man.
Danzo was a little hesitant and his expression was slightly awkward, but when he thought of yesterday's speculation, his heart warmed.
He straightened his back and called out, "Izuna-sensei!"
Uchiha Izuna nodded slightly, and in a flash, he landed in the arena, his gaze lingering briefly between Danzo and Hiruzen.
He naturally sensed the tension that had been building between the two of them, but he didn't point it out.
He simply stated, "Today's regular training is canceled. You're all getting on in years; it's time for you to see some real 'big scenes'."
"A big event?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, and a look of curiosity involuntarily appeared on his face.
He instantly forgot about his previous unpleasantness.
He was only a boy in his early teens after all. Upon hearing that there was something exciting to see, his earlier displeasure was instantly forgotten, and he asked with great curiosity, "Izuna-sensei, what kind of big event is it?"
Seeing Hiruzen's impatient demeanor, Danzo chuckled and shook his head.
He seems so naive and impetuous!
Hmph, unlike Shimura Danzo, who can always remain calm and composed.
Uchiha Izuna smiled meaningfully and gave Danzo a meaningful look: "Come with me, all of you."
The three disciples quickly followed.
Danzo naturally noticed Uchiha Izuna's meaningful gaze.
The half-smiling look in Izuna-sensei's eyes made his heart race.
This feeling of being valued...
It's truly captivating.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and jogged to catch up with Izuna, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha.
Throughout the journey, Danzo could sense an unusually heavy atmosphere in the village.
The once bustling streets were now unusually deserted, with many shops closed and few pedestrians around.
Along the way, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and whispered to Kagami Uchiha, "Kagami, what kind of grand scene do you think Izuna-sensei is going to show us?"
Uchiha Kagami blinked and replied in a similarly low voice, "I don't know, but judging from the teacher's tone, he must be very powerful."
Hiruzen Sarutobi swallowed hard, his dark eyes gleaming with excitement: "Could it be some important figure arriving? Or is there some kind of important ceremony?"
"Stop guessing, stick close to the teacher." Uchiha Kagami interrupted his friend's speculation, his face showing both anticipation and nervousness.
Danzo, who was following behind them, overheard their whispers and simply chuckled dismissively.
Those two ignorant brats, look how excited they are...
A moment later, Uchiha Izuna arrived in front of the Hokage Building with three disciples.
Before even getting close, Danzo keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere permeating the air.
On the wide street in front of the Hokage Building, a group of people dressed in completely different clothes from the Konoha ninjas were gathered.
They stood in the center of the square, looking somewhat anxious.
Around them stood dozens of Konoha guards in neat formation.
They wore uniforms of all black, with a bright red fan-shaped emblem printed on the back.
They were all Uchiha clan guard ninjas!
Seeing the fan-shaped symbols everywhere, Danzo frowned slightly and unconsciously slowed his pace.
To my surprise, so many Uchiha clan members gathered together.
He looked around and felt that the ubiquitous fan-shaped clan emblems were particularly glaring, making him feel vaguely uneasy.
Uchiha Izuna led them up the steps to the top of the main entrance of the Hokage Building, a spot overlooking the entire plaza.
From this vantage point, the entire square is laid out before you.
Danzo glanced carefully down below and immediately recognized the origin of the group of ninjas in the center of the arena: "People from Iwagakure?"
This is an envoy from Iwagakure!
The two guys standing at the very front of the line were old acquaintances of Danzo.
One of them was tall and thin, his face wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of wary eyes, his aura deep and unfathomable—it was the current Tsuchikage, Wu.
The other person was young, short, with short gray-brown hair, and although his face was youthful, he had a large nose.
