Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Danzo's expression froze, as if he didn't expect Shirataki's first sentence to be a joke. Squeezing the crutch in his hand tightly, blue veins could be seen faintly popping out on the back of his hand. Danzo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Shirataki observed Danzo's expression. From the slightly ferocious face, he judged that what the other party wanted to say was not good, so he decisively stretched out his palm in a stopping gesture.

"If you want to continue wasting each other's time, then go ahead and spout that nonsense."

"But I have to say something in advance." After a pause, seeing that Danzo had stopped speaking and narrowed his eyes to stare at himself, Shirataki continued calmly, "Don't mess with me, you and I are not enemies, right?" ? Elder Danzo?”

Danzo suppressed his restless mood, and with a gloomy old face, he asked in a deep voice, "Why did you take so long to return to the village? If you had followed normal procedures, the village would have classified you as a traitor." Danzo's eyes almost narrowed. into a thin slit, just looking at Bai Taki in silence.

Danzo's words were very clear, and Shirataki clearly understood the other party's hidden meaning. Basically, "If I, Danzo, were not protecting you, the consequences this time would definitely be huge. Why don't you join my lineup quickly?"

Although he was hesitant in his heart, Danzo had already shown such an attitude, so Shirataki would not foolishly question it. He had already said what he needed to say anyway.

"I understand." He replied briefly, and then Shirataki no longer hesitated and walked slowly towards the village through the gate of Konoha.

Looking at Shirataki leaving alone, Danzo's eyes showed cold murderous intent, obviously dissatisfied with Shirataki's attitude of not knowing how to praise him.

"Uzumaki. Uzumaki. Uzumaki Shirataki-sama?" Just after Shirataki walked through the gate, he heard the voice of the gatekeeper ninja. The expressions of other Konoha ninjas around him also changed. They were shocked, suspicious, and afraid. Confidence and other eyes were all cast on Bai Taki.

The atmosphere in the venue changed drastically in an instant, and fell into an extremely strange state of silence. No one spoke anymore, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Shirataki to give an answer.

Seeing this situation, Shirataki was not very happy. He just spread his hands helplessly and continued walking towards the commercial street.

The gatekeeper ninja's eyes were unblinking, taking in Shirataki's every move. After watching the gate for so many years, he had basically seen all kinds of people, and his ability to observe words and expressions had been honed to an incomparable level.

Therefore, the gatekeeper ninja quickly came to the conclusion from Shirataki's posture. This person should be the one who had been hyped a while ago. He could put the demigod of Amegakure Village at a disadvantage in a one-on-one situation. The Konoha ninja, Lord Uzumaki Shirataki.

The nearby ninjas were not angry because Shirataki ignored him. On the contrary, some bold ninjas asked loudly.

"I didn't expect it to be Lord Uzumaki Shirataki. Are you... Have you just returned from completing a mission?"

"Uzumaki Shirataki-sama, did you really defeat Sansho Hanzo?"

defeat? Did you make a mistake? Shirataki stopped helplessly, but before he could say anything, several more ninjas gathered around him, asking all kinds of questions.

"Master Shirataki, I heard that you just turned twenty-three this year? Are you really only twenty-three?"

"Master Shirataki, what did you do before? Why has your name never been spread in the village?"

"Master Shirataki, you."

Seeing that more and more ninjas were gathering around, there were even many ninjas who had just passed by, casting curious glances. Bai Taki knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly pushed through the crowd around him and rushed towards the village without looking back.

Sensing that Shirataki was about to escape, many ninjas were naturally unwilling to just watch the former leave. They all chased after Shirataki, following behind him step by step.

In desperation, Bai Taki quickly exerted his strength, and his figure instantly turned into an afterimage, disappearing in front of the ninjas with a faint roar. These ninjas were left sighing on the spot. They were either having heated discussions or talking passionately. For a while, the gate of Konoha was very lively.

A few minutes later, in a dark alley, Shirataki gradually stopped. He took a few deep breaths. When no one followed him, he quickly took out his mask, put it on, and hurried home.

Just when Shirataki walked into the commercial street, two Anbu quickly appeared in front of Shirataki and said coldly, "The Hokage has summoned you!" After that, the two of them didn't care whether Shirataki heard it or not, and their bodies transformed again. The shadow then disappeared.

Shirataki glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the Hokage Building. He had already expected Sarutobi Hiruzen's summons. After all, he did not go to him to submit the mission immediately, and during the mission, Shirataki's identity Although it was not his intention to be exposed, he believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi would not let him go easily.

Without thinking any more, Shirataki smiled bitterly, then turned around again and rushed towards the Hokage Building.

On the other side, the news that Shirataki left the front line spread wildly with an unstoppable momentum when he first appeared at the gate of Konoha. I believe that it won't be long before other ninja villages will receive this news one after another. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Konoha, but what is certain is that it is definitely not a good thing for the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. They all knew clearly what Shirataki's departure meant, and Iwagakure Village would not let this opportunity pass by.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uzumaki Shirataki standing in front of him with a very ugly expression. Although he also clearly understood that Shirataki's identity was not revealed and could not be blamed on the other party. This could only be blamed on Danzo who was behind it, but he really couldn't do it for Sarutobi Hiruzen to put on a good face towards Shirataki.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly put down his cigarette stick. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Shirataki, do you know why I brought you back so urgently?"

Shirataki said without thinking, "Is it because the 30 days of the longest mission period are up?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said slowly, "This is just one of the reasons, mainly because your identity has been leaked, which is very dangerous for you and the village."

"In my mind, you are a strong candidate to be the next Hokage. If something happens to you, it will be a great loss to the village! I hope you can understand your position clearly." After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared closely. With Bai Taki.

At this time, although Shirataki was disdainful, he still said calmly, "Hokage-sama, I can understand what you said, but now the two fronts of the village are very tight, especially the battlefield of the Land of Rain. Although the rain ninjas have retreated , but I heard that Iwagakure Village has already invested a large number of ninjas in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, and the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind has also begun to be gradually repelled. The war will soon break out in the Kingdom of Rain."

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to stop Shirataki's words, and said in a deep voice, "Now it's not just a problem between Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Iwagakure and Kirigakure have temporarily ceased war. We must not only pay attention to Iwagakure, but , Suna Village, and the two villages of Kirigakure, we must pay more attention to the movements of Kirigakure Village, they may sneak attack on us in the Fire Country at any time."

"And as far as I know, Kirigakure Village and Kumogakure Village, which has been eyeing the Uzumaki clan, are very interested in the sealing techniques of your Uzumaki clan. According to the information I have received, these two villages destroyed Uzushio Village. After that, I didn’t get the Uzumaki clan’s sealed book.”

Shirataki interrupted, "So Hokage-sama, do you think they are targeting me now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. The information he told was mixed with truth and falsehood, in order to gain Shirataki's trust. Now Shirataki's identity cannot be hidden, and Shirataki is also an indispensable and important combat force of Konoha at this stage. It cannot be hidden or erased. Sarutobi Hiruzen can only try to win over Shirataki again, as long as he has Shirataki's support.

"This is the main reason why I transferred you back. During this time, there are a lot of gossips circulating among the ninjas in the village. I don't know what you think. I don't want you to be affected by these things." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shirataki sincerely.

"The current situation is indeed as you said. A large-scale battle is about to break out in the Kingdom of Rain. It seems that a melee between the four countries is unavoidable. I have summoned you this time to hide these things in the dark. I want to inform you of the dangers, and secondly, I want to ask you what you think.”

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious, and he spoke again, "Uzumaki Shirataki, do you choose to stay in the village to guard against the sneak attacks of Kirigakure and Kumogakure, or do you choose to go to the battlefield of Rain Country again to provide support?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude was very obvious. He told Shirataki clearly that I will not restrict your freedom. You can make your own choice, but I have told you the risks. If something happens, don't blame me. Also, your situation is very dangerous. If you step onto the battlefield unprepared, if something unexpected happens, the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan will be lost.

Shirataki had also considered this issue. He originally thought that it would not be too difficult to save the life of the rope tree in World War II. After all, his strength lay here. But the appearance of Sanshou Hanzo broke his dream. Let alone protecting others, if there was a fight, he didn't even know whether he could survive. Let's not talk about Konoha's internal problems now. The external enemies alone were enough for him. I have a headache.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Shirataki bowing his head in deep thought, he did not interrupt him. He picked up the cigarette again and quietly waited for Shirataki to make a decision. After a long time, Shirataki raised his head and said, "Hokage-sama, I chose to support the battlefield of the Land of Rain. I have to worry about my relative Kushina there."

"You don't have to rush to leave. I'll give you a few days to rest. You can do it during this time."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, I will leave as soon as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the window of the Hokage's office, narrowed his eyes and looked at Shirataki's leaving figure, and couldn't help but sigh, "You are getting stronger and stronger, Uzumaki Shirataki."

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his hand and silently stared at Shirataki's disappearing back for a while, then he said to himself, "Uzumaki Shirataki. The height you can reach in the future may far exceed my imagination." ”

Perhaps thinking of the unpleasantness he had with Mito Kadoen and Shimura Danzo some time ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly, and his eyes unconsciously condensed a ray of cold light, "Such a powerful power can only be achieved by me, Sarutobi Hiruzen." Master, Danzo, Men Yan, I just hope you won’t push your limits again, otherwise.”

At this moment, all kinds of thoughts were ups and downs in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, making it difficult for him to calm down for a long time. The intentions of Shimura Danzo and Mito Kaden's series of actions have become more and more obvious. Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that if he wants to firmly place Shirataki under his command, it will not work just because of the benefits.

Although Shirataki is a ninja of the Uzumaki clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi knows Shirataki's life experience. As long as Shirataki's relatives are not involved, this top combat power is not involved in the family position, and it can be said to be a very clean force.

Therefore, regarding the issue of Shirataki's ownership, Sarutobi Hiruzen will never give in to anyone this time, and how to lock Shirataki to his chariot is the focus of his next plan.

Since Danzo had exposed Shirataki's identity unexpectedly, unruly, and shamelessly, it was not impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to use some means to give Danzo some pain. Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long breath, turned around with some disappointment, and walked towards the door of the office.
