After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"But why would Uncle Danzo do such a thing?"

Yusuke narrowed his eyes, a grin plastered on his face, not even slightly showing any sign of asking about the situation.

"There's no point in asking why at this point, Yusuke."

Danzo Shimura put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Orochimaru, but unfortunately Orochimaru ignored him completely.

"What do you want?"

Yusuke lit up a cigarette and immediately exhaled a thick puff of smoke.

"Let's end this matter here. You haven't suffered any substantial harm, and I've lost three of my subordinates."

Shimura Danzo said with some reluctance.

"What if I don't agree?"

Yusuke lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and spoke to him with a provocative look in his eyes.

"You will definitely agree, after all, you are a smart man, aren't you?

There is a huge disparity in strength between us. Do you think your dozen or so jonin subordinates can win against my subordinates? Aren't you afraid of losing the people you have worked so hard to train?"

There was a hint of pride in Shimura Danzo's tone.

"If you lose your subordinates, you can still train them again, but if you lose your enemies, they are gone for real."

Yusuke met his eyes sharply.

"Does that mean you already regard me as your enemy?"

There was no expression on Shimura Danzo's face. He took a sip of tea quietly, and then asked Yusuke with a slightly curious look.

"That depends on what you think, Uncle Danzo. From the beginning to the end, I have always respected you very much, and I have never taken the initiative to attack you. Shouldn't you know this better than me?"

Yusuke waved his hands helplessly and then put on an extremely innocent look.

"Since we are not enemies, I guess there is still a chance for us to cooperate, right?"

Before Yusuke could respond, Danzo clapped his hands, and then the door was slowly opened by a Root member. He walked straight to Yusuke, knelt on one knee, and then respectfully raised a scroll with both hands above his head.

Yusuke looked puzzled, looked directly at Danzo, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Yujie, I have been inviting you to be my guest, purely out of my good intentions.

Unfortunately, I don’t know where you got some unfavorable rumors about me, so our relationship gradually became distant.”

As Danzo spoke, he shook his head with a hint of regret, and then continued, "Wind-style ninjutsu is rare and powerful. You should know that the number of ninjas in the Wind Country is much less than that of other powerful countries, but why is it still ranked among the five major countries?

This is not only because of their unstoppable puppet troops, but also because of their endless wind-style ninjutsu.

The place where they live is windy and sandy, and in such a harsh environment, almost everyone has wind-attribute chakra.

Coupled with their profound knowledge of wind escape ninjutsu, this allowed them to gain a firm foothold in the five major nations."

Youjie narrowed his eyes, glanced at him, and muttered to himself: Keep making up stories, let's see what else you can come up with.

"I heard that one of your subordinates is a young descendant of my family. You can either learn from him yourself or give him a reward in the future. Of course, the ninjutsu in this scroll can be regarded as an apology from me."

After saying this, Danzo smiled slightly, nodded slowly, and with a hint in his eyes, he gestured for Yusuke to pick up the scroll.

Since it was given for free, Yusuke took it without hesitation and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Now that the misunderstanding between you and me has been resolved, are you interested in listening to what I mean by cooperation?"

Danzo Shimura was quite satisfied with the way Yusuke went down the pole, and the smile on his face became even wider, even with a bit of pride in it. Then, he slowly refilled Yusuke's teacup with boiling hot tea.

"Is this the real purpose of your appearance here?"

Yusuke spoke as he blew on his tea with a half-smile on his face.

"hehe."

Shimura Danzo let out a low chuckle, with a hint of appreciation in his smile. He just smiled at Yusuke and said slowly, "Yusuke, you must be determined to become the next Hokage, right?"

Yusuke frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a questioning tone, "Are you going to support me too?"

Shimura Danzo laughed, his laughter was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control. "Why not? This is the cooperation I want to discuss with you."

"Cooperation? Support me to become Hokage? What good will this bring to you? Do you think I can let you control me at will?"

Yusuke showed a surprised look on his face, his eyes fixed on Danzo, and then he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

“Yujie, do you think that the family that supports you now, who is not doing it for profit?

Take the Uchiha clan for example. After you help them integrate into the village and become the village's top leaders, how long do you think you can control them? They are ultimately a clan full of evil."

Shimura Danzo was not angry at Yusuke's sarcasm. He still had a faint smile on his face, his eyes showed patience, and he explained in a calm tone: "Of course, I also have interests to fight for."

"I'm quite interested."

The corners of Yusuke's mouth slightly raised, revealing an interested expression, and then he put on a look of listening attentively.

"Don't you think your teacher, the Third Hokage, is too old? He no longer has the ambition.

Now, even the death of the ninjas in his own village cannot be investigated because of fear of war. Who would be willing to support such a Hokage?"

Danzo Shimura frowned, his face full of indignation, and then he looked at Yusuke with eyes as sharp as a hawk.

"You are different. Although you are also a disciple of Sarutobi, you know how to make choices. After you took over some of my power, you completed the assassination missions you took over very well.

At the same time, you are also ruthless enough. After knowing that you cannot seek an explanation for your missing subordinates, you resolutely took over this task, just to keep the power in your hands and prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from having an excuse to take it away. "

"So, after all you've said, what exactly are your interests?"

A look of confusion appeared on Yusuke's face, and his eyes were fixed on Shimura Danzo.

"If you become Hokage, would you let your subordinates die in vain just to avoid experiencing war?"

"No! Whether it's inside or outside the village, as long as someone attacks my people, I will seek justice even if it means starting a war. This is not an impulsive act, but I don't want my subordinates and my fellow villagers to lose their backbone and integrity."

Yusuke stared at Shimura Danzo with a determined look.

"Yes! This is what a Hokage should do. During the Second Hokage period, even when he was alone against four, Konoha never retreated a single step.

All I want is power, and only a Hokage like you can wield a sword like mine."

Shimura Danzo was so excited that his face turned red and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.
