Land of Whirlpools...
This was an undeveloped area far from the residential zones of the Land of Whirlpools...
Uzumaki Jun led a group of Uzu-nin, standing ready as they arrived near a small mountain.
"Zetsu said it should be here, right?" Uzumaki Jun muttered while looking at the map in his hand. A few days ago, Zetsu had handed over the information and locations of the spies, but due to organizational team-building activities, they hadn't gone to capture them until now.
And today...
"It's good weather!" Uzumaki Jun glanced at the clear blue sky with satisfaction.
If they didn't clean them out today, then when would they?
"Lord Jun, what should we do now?" A Uzu-nin frowned as he stared at the large mountain before them...
No matter how he looked, it didn't seem like there were people here!
"Don't rush!" Uzumaki Jun said, then closed his eyes. After raising his Yang attribute to level 20, his vitality and sensory abilities had also strengthened.
"Huh?" Uzumaki Jun was surprised as he looked underground. He had thought Danzō and his men would dig out a cave, but instead...
They were actually living in a burrow!!
As expected of the leader of Root—had he gotten so used to living in holes that he couldn't change his habits?
Uzumaki Jun pointed at the ground and said to the Uzu-nin beside him, "Call them out!"
After all, they were civilized enforcers. They wouldn't act recklessly...
The Uzu-nin was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure. He shouted loudly toward the ground, "Hey... people below, listen to me..."
Who would've thought someone would actually hide underground? Which village's ninja were they? Couldn't they just dig a cave instead of this?
"People below, listen. You have already been..."
...
"Lord Danzō, what should we do now?"
The Root jōnin exchanged uneasy glances. How had they been discovered? And...
Why weren't these Uzu-nin attacking directly?
What was the point of shouting like this?
"Hmph!" Danzō's face darkened. Someone actually dared to challenge him on his own turf??
"Which one of you was spotted?" He glared at his subordinates, but seeing the confused expressions on all their faces, he barked angrily, "Useless trash!"
They didn't even know how they had been exposed. Truly useless!
Danzō knew they couldn't stay here any longer, but...
"Have you all completed the tasks I assigned you?"
Danzō stared at them coldly. After so many days, had they still not succeeded?
However...
"..."
Everyone remained silent.
Danzō turned his head to look at the pile of books beside him and also fell silent.
"Useless trash!"
After so many days, this was all they had obtained? The ceramic-making techniques, cement-making techniques, glass-making techniques...
What kind of worthless things had they brought back instead?
Especially...
Danzō's face turned livid as he grabbed one of the books...
"Who brought this Quotations of Lord Jun?"
...
Seeing that there was still no response, Uzumaki Jun sighed and muttered, "This is such a headache."
If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to meet Danzō so soon!
What if he couldn't hold back and ended up killing him?
After all, maintaining the balance of power among the major villages in the shinobi world required Danzō, the "Friend of All Villages."
"Call a few people over to reinforce the foundation!" Uzumaki Jun said helplessly.
Let's see if they still refuse to come out...
Why wasn't the "Darkness of the Shinobi" staying in Konoha to maintain peace? What was he doing here?
Learning advanced socialist ideology? Leading Konoha into a new era of socialism?
Don't joke around. If that were the case, even his best friend wouldn't be able to stand him. Hiruzen would be the first one to try and kill him!
"Yes!" A construction squad leader stepped forward and said.
This four-man construction team was borrowed from Uzumaki Jun's father...
They seemed to be an elite house-building squad.
"Earth Style..."
However, before they could activate their jutsu, the ground began to crack open...
Several figures emerged.
Danzō's face was dark as he looked at the Uzu-nin before him, especially when his gaze fell on the seven... no, eight-year-old figure. His pupils shrank slightly before he calmly said, "What do you want with me?"
Seeing Danzō's shameless response, Uzumaki Jun immediately stepped forward and declared sternly, "You have violated the Land of Whirlpools' immigration regulations."
"Hah?" Danzō was dumbfounded by Uzumaki Jun's words.
"Sigh." Uzumaki Jun sighed helplessly. "You entered the Land of Whirlpools without registering with the relevant authorities, illegally occupied its land, and caused severe losses to the nation."
No education, truly terrifying!!
"So, you're saying the Land of Whirlpools doesn't welcome me?" Danzō's sharp gaze bore into Uzumaki Jun.
However...
"This is illegal immigration, Uncle Danzō!" Uzumaki Jun said casually. "This is against the law!"
Did Danzō think he could intimidate him? He had faced down Kage-level opponents before.
Though it was a pity he hadn't seen any of the Six Paths tools...
"Against the law?" Danzō was stunned before regaining his composure. "I was unaware of this."
"It's written in the Land of Whirlpools Constitution. Didn't Uncle Danzō read it?" Uzumaki Jun glanced at the pile of books behind Danzō...
One of them, thoroughly worn out, was...
What was Danzō planning to do with these things?
Start a revolution in Konoha?
And...
What the hell was Quotations of Lord Jun?
Uzumaki Jun was speechless. After this, would Danzō, the scheming old fox, become an advanced socialist intellectual and pioneer socialist reforms in Konoha... no, wait, the second in the shinobi world...
"..." Danzō also noticed the books behind him. He had thought that since these were common books everyone had, there would be nothing unusual about them being seen. But now...
Damn it, had the Root ninja become so obsessed with jutsu that they'd lost their minds?
Couldn't they at least have hidden them?
Now...
Danzō narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Uzumaki Jun. Having spent decades in the shinobi world, he had faced far more humiliating situations than this. Today's incident was nothing more than...
A minor inconvenience.
Did they really think the "Darkness of the Shinobi" was just for show?
Without changing his expression, he said, "I know nothing about this. If the Land of Whirlpools doesn't welcome Konoha, then I shall leave."
Causing trouble?
Seeing Danzō trying to weasel his way out with deceit, Uzumaki Jun immediately released his killing intent and said in an icy voice, "This is the Land of Whirlpools, not Konoha!!"
"If you've broken the law, then submit to punishment obediently!"
He turned to the Uzu-nin beside him. "Seal their chakra, then have the clan leader send a notice to Konoha!"
"Let Konoha come and retrieve them themselves!"
Did they really think the Land of Whirlpools feared Konoha?
"You!" Danzō's face darkened when he saw this brat being so disrespectful, even demanding that Konoha come to collect them. He wanted to attack...
"Kill anyone who resists arrest on the spot!!" Uzumaki Jun's voice was freezing as he smiled at Danzō. "Uncle Danzō won't act recklessly, right?"
Danzō snorted but did not move. He had sensed killing intent just now—that overwhelming, bloodthirsty aura. If he acted rashly, this brat would truly kill him!!
The "Darkness of the Shinobi" hadn't even become Hokage yet. How could he die so easily?
A true man knew when to yield. He would settle this score with this brat sooner or later!
At this moment...
Danzō touched his bandaged right eye, his desire for power growing even stronger.
Seeing their boss not resisting, the Root members also surrendered without a fight.
Uzumaki Jun nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the "rat" even Madara had praised!
Even in this situation, he still refused to lose his temper.
Suddenly remembering something, Uzumaki Jun formed a hand seal. "Summoning Jutsu!" He handed Danzō a book...
The Art of Workplace Scheming
Without the ambition to replace your superiors, you will never achieve greatness!
"Read this book. It'll do you good."
