"…"

While Ye Wu Di earned Hyuga approval, blissfully self-studying with Hinata—swapping notes…

Konoha, meeting room.

Bang!

Danzo Shimura slammed the table, face furious.

"That Ye Wu Di punk—way too reckless! Dared attack Root!"

"Commoner, yet has Shisui's Body Flicker—I suspect Uchiha plant in Hyuga!"

Danzo never dreamed: his seven elites bypassed Kakashi/ANBU.

Toyed by a 13-year-old brat!

One chunin killed, three crippled!

Three survivors? Released on purpose…

So what?!

Higher talent = more excited!

Control this? Fire Shadow odds skyrocket!

Missed Shisui—must snag Ye Wu Di!

Danzo straightened, righteous guarantee:

"Such talent—I must oversee! Give him to me—I'll mold a proper ninja!"

"Only in Root can he truly understa—"

"No!"

Hiruzen shut it down.

Joke? Hand kid to you?

Turn him into task-robot?

Idiot!

My Will of Fire—shine for village!

"Hiruzen! He must stay Root—unleash full talent!"

Danzo doubled down—no backing off.

Hiruzen smashed pipe on table.

Face dark, eyes locked:

"My man! Danzo—I'm Hokage!"

"You…"

Hiruzen's iron wall—no negotiation.

Danzo fumed, turned away—no more demands.

"Hmph! You'll regret!"

"…"

As Danzo vs. Hiruzen glared…

Koharu and Homura sipped tea—blowing steam, casual.

How long these two?

Decades—not bored?!

Sigh…

End meeting—back to Pure Land Dance!

Post-dance: no back pain, legs fine—energized!

Even haul groceries up five floors!

Blissful—second spring vibes!

Later—still staring contest…

Koharu/Homura stood.

Hiruzen/Danzo frowned—unison:

"Where you two going?"

"Where you two going!"

"…"

Instant—averted eyes, mutual hate.

Decades of this—Koharu/Homura yawned.

Tidied papers, excited explain:

"Just… dancing."

"Yup—just dancing."

Dancing?

Mid-Ye-Wu-Di war—both spun to each other.

Hiruzen pondered—eyes gleamed sly.

"What dance?"

"No secret—kid's school dance."

Hiruzen slammed up:

"Pure Land!"

"Hm? Hiruzen—you know it?"

Koharu/Homura eyed suspicion.

Even Danzo stared.

Embarrassed, Hiruzen coughed:

Cough. "Heard of it… just heard…"

"Oh—you know our plan? Keep debating Ye Wu Di—tell us results."

"Exactly—your call. We back whoever."

Danzo livid—elders ditch village affairs for dance?!

Cold snort:

"You two—Konoha elder dignity?! Disgrace!"

"Hiruzen—agree? Wait—what're you doing…"

Pulled ally—face coal-black.

Hiruzen? Packing up!

"Uh—Ye Wu Di? No quick fix."

"Sky dark—reschedule proper talk?"

"…"

Hiruzen, you bastard!

Hokage—act like one!

Ye Wu Di—skip jutsu for dance?!

Useless crap!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Danzo Shimura!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…

Danzo fumed—but 3 vs. 1? Useless…

Post-trio exit…

Danzo paced—off.

"Wait—what dance hooks them all?!"

"Bad! Cover to plot Ye Wu Di snatch!"

"Must crash…"
