Inside the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building.
Yasu met Hiruzen and Danzo.
He took out the scroll that Orochimaru had given him and handed it to Hiruzen.
"Lord Hokage, this is what Teacher Orochimaru asked me to give you, it is a summary of the current situation in the land of Hot Water."
Hiruzen took the scroll and began to read it.
At this moment, Danzo looked at Yasu and said, "I heard that you led four Uchiha in the land of Hot Water to carry out a mission?"
Danzo's voice had a feeling that he was going to do something bad.
Yasu nodded and said: "Lord Danzo, yes, because of Teacher Orochimaru's order, I, as the captain, led four Uchiha ninjas."
Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, saying: "Is it just because of Orochimaru's order?"
Yasu said again: "Yes, it's just because of Teacher Orochimaru's order."
Danzo was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "What do you think of the Uchiha?"
Yasu looked at him in confusion.
Danzo asked him this question, most likely to confirm his position.
But as a Jonin, expressing his views on the Uchiha here, whether it is a positive evaluation or a negative evaluation, is not appropriate.
Danzo said expressionlessly: "I remember that you seem to have a deep conflict with the Uchiha clan. Now that you have accepted the task of leading four Uchiha ninjas, has the conflict been resolved?"
Yasu replied calmly: "There is no question of conflict resolution. Everyone is a companion from the same village. Compared with the village, personal conflicts are not worth mentioning at all."
As a shrewd person, Danzo could naturally hear the implication in his words.
Yasu's conflict with the Uchiha clan has not been resolved, but he only leads the team because of the mission.
The corners of Danzo's mouth raised: "Yasu, is it? You are very good. Have you ever thought about coming to my Root?" (My man's heart went doki-doki seeing a fellow Uchiha hater….)
Yasu was shocked. Recruiting him to Root in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi?
This is not good, right?
Plus, he doesn't want to go to Root now.
Just as he was thinking about how to politely decline Danzo, Hiruzen had already finished reading the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Danzo, Yasu is now a pillar of our Konoha, and he will continue to be active on the battlefield, so he can't join your Root."
"Now the current situation in the Land of Hot Water is very stable, and the situation on other battlefields is also quite good. We can now accumulate strength and send a large number of Genin to the battlefield to train and enhance their strength."
Danzo snorted coldly: "Don't be too optimistic. According to the information investigated by my Root ninjas, that old fool from the Hidden Rock Village has already sent ninjas to contact the Hidden Mist."
"You sent so many ninjas to the Hidden Mist, but they still let the ninjas from the Hidden Rock slip the Hidden Mist, which means that they are very likely to reach a cooperation with the Hidden Mist."
"And once the Hidden Mist clearly cooperates with the Hidden Rock, the alliance of the three major ninja villages of Rock, Cloud, and Mist will definitely directly attack our Konoha."
Hiruzen said helplessly: "Of course I know this situation. I have been suppressing it for so long. It's not easy to have some good news, so I'm just a little happy. As for the cooperation between the Hidden Mist and The Hidden Rock, there's no need to be so pessimistic."
Danzo looked at him in surprise: "What news did you get?"
The smile on Hiruzen's face disappeared, and he said seriously: "You should know about the Bloody Mist Policy created by the Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist, right?"
Danzo nodded: "I do know, it seems to be a policy formulated to screen out powerful ninjas, right?"
Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said: "That's right, according to the information our ninjas sneaked into the Hidden Mist to investigate, this policy has indeed screened out many powerful ninjas, but the mortality rate of other ninjas is too high. If this continues, the Hidden Mist Village is likely to fall into a predicament of lacking external troops."
Danzo frowned: "Do you think they will not cooperate with the Hidden Rock?"
Hiruzen shook his head: "No, as long as there are benefits, the cooperation between them is inevitable, but if the Hidden Mist lacks external troops, it is also an opportunity for us. Do you think Onoki and A are the kind of guys who will suffer losses?"
Danzo understood Hiruzen's meaning: "You mean Onoki and A will kick out the Hidden Mist, and then we can instigate the Hidden Mist to rebel?"
Hiruzen exhaled another puff of smoke and said: "No one knows how the future will develop, but the Hidden Mist is likely to be a breakthrough for us, and Onoki is not a peaceful guy, so I don't think the current situation in Konoha needs to be too pessimistic. We still have many opportunities."
Hiruzen then looked at Yasu again: "Sorry, Yasu, we were so busy chatting that we forgot about you."
He then took out a scroll from the drawer and handed it to Yasu: "This is your transfer order to the land of Grass battlefield."
Yasu took the scroll and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Hiruzen then asked: "There is one more thing. I heard from Orochimaru that you don't plan to bring three Genin this time, but plan to directly accept a direct disciple?"
Yasu answered with the prepared excuse: "Yes, Lord Hokage, because my mobility is suitable for acting alone, it is really not suitable for leading a three-man team, so I plan to take a disciple and directly teach him on the battlefield."
Hiruzen said kindly: "Well, that's good too. The graduation exam for the Ninja School is in two days. Then you can choose a graduating Genin as your disciple."
Yasu lowered his head slightly and said: "Yes, then Lord Hokage, Lord Danzo, I won't bother you anymore, I'll take my leave first."
"Go."
After he left the office, Yasu breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect to suddenly encounter Danzo in the office this time, and he actually wanted to recruit him directly, which really caught him off guard.
Although it was the first time they met, Danzo's notoriety was deeply engraved in Yasu's mind.
He then frowned slightly, because now, he should be officially in Danzo's sight, and he probably will be targeted by him.
This guy Danzo really does everything by any means.
In the future, he has to be careful of him when doing things.
After Yasu walked out of the Hokage Building, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the Uzumaki's residence.
And in the office.
Danzo said to Hiruzen: "Do you think he is suitable?"
Hiruzen didn't react for a moment: "What are you talking about?"
Danzo said with a gloomy expression: "Of course it's about the Uchiha clan."
Hiruzen's expression suddenly condensed: "Danzo, Konoha needs the power of the Uchiha now! It's not the time to solve them yet."
Danzo reminded: "Then what about after the war? The Uchiha are now so actively participating in the war, aren't they just trying to regain the power center of Konoha? You should be clear about the harm of the Uchiha, so we must consider it as soon as possible."
