Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

In the lush forest, birds flitted through the trees.

Their chirping voices filled the surroundings with vitality, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at a man in black standing in the forest.

This man stood motionless, like a statue, a chilling aura constantly emanating from his body, deterring even the small animals from approaching.

Just then, the small animals seemed to sense something and looked towards the distance.

From the figure of the man, they seemed to feel a natural aura spreading.

If it weren't for the somewhat frightening figure below, they probably would have flown over.

"Danzo-sama, long time no see."

The newcomer looked at the statue-like figure and chuckled, while Danzo frowned slightly.

"You're late, Shusawa."

"Danzo-sama, you should understand me. After all, taking over the Root is a busy affair, please bear with me."

Faced with Danzo's question, Shusawa didn't care, just laughed lightly and brushed it off.

But these words immediately made Danzo's mentality a little unsustainable.

Bear with you?

I painstakingly managed Root for so many years, and in a blink of an eye, it became yours, and you want me to bear with you?!

Damn it, do you know how much I have given for Konoha, for Root?

As a result, because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's casual words, it all became your wedding dress?

Danzo felt his fists clenching hard. If he could beat him, and still hoped to find an opportunity from Shusawa, he would really curse!

And he had not forgotten the message passed on by the damned liar, Hanzo.

He can only be glad now that those two people are dead.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't tell him that these two had returned, and Iwagakure wouldn't say these things either.

Even the information stolen from Amegakure only said that these two were attacked by Orochimaru.

Moreover, Root only has a single action record of this matter, nothing else, otherwise many things would not be clear!

"It's true, Root affairs are busy, I can understand, and you should also read the scrolls carefully, don't be deceived by that liar Hanzo."

Danzo tried his best to restrain himself, not showing a 'gritting teeth' look.

"But I still think that it is best to keep Root's current system, instead of drastically changing it as soon as you come up, and changing its current inherent rules!"

"Of course I won't believe Hanzo, I only believe what I see, as for Root…"

Shusawa nodded, but three words flashed in his heart, 'There's a traitor'!

Of course, this is normal. He has just taken over and cannot pick them all out.

Besides, having a traitor is also a good thing. He has cannon fodder to charge forward.

"Thank you for your guidance, Danzo-sama, but Danzo-sama may need to be careful recently."

Shusawa smiled again, and nodded to Danzo.

Then he leaned closer, and under Danzo's astonished gaze, an soundproof barrier appeared instantly without even using a hand seal!

"Danzo-sama, the Hokage-sama wants me to reorganize Root, and there are many things I have to do.

And the Hokage-sama has already pointed out that he wants me to investigate and confirm the authenticity of some information, and there must be no concealment, and seek truth from facts.

He also said that many people want a result, and many people also want to see clearly what this Hokage Assistant has done, because he does not want anyone to become a moth in it."

Shifting the blame actually requires skill.

You can't put all the problems on someone at the beginning, which will only arouse suspicion and attention.

The information gap must be used well, and it must also be combined with what actually happened.

True and false, making it difficult to distinguish.

Seeing Danzo's pale face now, Shusawa knew that he had successfully shifted the blame!

But this is not over yet, Shusawa decided to increase the firepower.

"Moreover, the Hokage-sama also said, 'To secure the exterior, one must first pacify the interior'. He wants me to rectify Root first, investigate everything that should be investigated, and then get involved in the affairs of Akatsuki.

And he revealed that this is a test for me, Danzo-sama, some things are beyond my control, and you need to be careful."

After saying this, Shusawa stepped back contentedly, and at this time Danzo was not only pale, but also large beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, is he going to move against me?

Thinking of this, Danzo really felt chills all over his body.

"So, what you did in Root was intentional?"

"Yes, actually I wanted them to pass information to you."

Shusawa spoke without hesitation.

"I even sent Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune back, the purpose is to let you understand all of this more clearly.

It's just that I didn't expect you to be so eager, but it's good for us to meet, when I came, I observed that there were no Anbu around."

No Anbu around.

In just a few words, Danzo really broke down.

Whether Shusawa is lying or not, you will know when Yamanaka Fu and the others were sent back.

He believed that Shusawa would not joke about this kind of thing, and being monitored by the Anbu definitely meant that Shusawa had discovered something.

Especially since he himself had served in the Anbu for three or four years!

And all these things are saying one thing, Hiruzen Sarutobi is really going to attack him!

"How could this happen… How could this happen?"

Danzo couldn't help but mutter to himself. He really didn't want to believe these things.

But everything that is happening now seems to be confirming that Shusawa is right, which makes him feel inexplicably chilled!

“Lord Danzo, I must take my leave.”

Looking at the dispirited Danzo before him, Shuzawa knew it was about time for him to depart as well.

Leaving room for imagination is always better, especially with a suspicious person like Danzo; the effect will only be amplified!

“I also hope you can provide me with information about Orochimaru, my Lord.

But now, I wish to be more cautious, so please use other means, my Lord.

Well then, Lord Danzo, please take care. I shall take my leave.”

After saying these words, Shuzawa turned and left without looking back, leaving Danzo alone, stunned in place.

The chirping birds in the forest, watching Shuzawa leave, gradually quieted down.

But soon, they quickly flew up again, seemingly unable to bear the aura of the man below.

Danzo stood motionless, his mind in turmoil, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his head, a roar erupting from within!

“How could this be?! Why is it like this?!”

“Sarutobi Hiruzen, is it just because I am not the Hokage?!”

Konoha's accommodations for foreign guests have always been excellent, offering both great privacy and pleasant scenery.

Although located in the heart of Konoha, it doesn't feel too noisy, yet sitting by the window allows one to see the prosperity within Konoha.

Yekura, holding a teacup, sat by the window, watching the bustling traffic below, appearing quite content, though inwardly she couldn't help but mutter.

“It's too prosperous.”

In Sunagakure, such a scene is truly rare.

The endless days and nights of sandstorms, even with the protective measures Sunagakure has taken, cannot withstand the erosion of the sand.

Merchant caravans are almost nonexistent, and people lack such enthusiasm for life; compared to Konoha, it can only be described as 'lifeless'.

Perhaps, it's only slightly better than Kirigakure, where they had been before…

“Sitting by the window is hardly elegant, but speaking of which, long time no see, Lady Yekura.”

Just as she was pondering, a familiar voice came from behind, and Yekura's previously relaxed expression immediately tightened.

Turning her head to look at the person, she suddenly paused.

“Hey, why have you become so much whiter?”

“…”

Shuzawa looked at Yekura speechlessly, unsure what to say, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence.

“Perhaps, it's because I'm not exposed to the sun and wind.”

“…”

Yekura glared at Shuzawa fiercely. As expected, nothing good comes from that dog's mouth. This bastard can really make people angry with just one sentence!

No wonder this guy could say 'nice figure' when they were in the Land of Water. She felt she'd better not get angry.

“The person receiving me this time is actually you. It seems your status in Konoha has risen recently.”

“Just lucky. But you're not bad either.”

Shuzawa sat down. He clapped his hands lightly, and soon Yekura felt movement around her.

Clearly, the Anbu surrounding her were being led away.

“Alright, let's have a good chat now. What do you want to know this time?

The affairs of Amegakure, or the affairs of the Uchiha, or something else?”

“You're really direct.”

Yekura tilted her head, took a sip of the tea in her cup, and then slowly said.

“I want to know everything, but I think the information you give me will be correct, but it will definitely be reserved.

Tell me, how much should I believe, how much should I doubt, and how much should I report back?”

“Tell them everything, but remain skeptical.”

Shuzawa still quite enjoyed communicating with Yekura. Although she was silly back then, after Ebizo's training, she had visibly improved.

Moreover, due to some special circumstances, he and Yekura had some similar situations.

After all, they were both people of 'Pot Shadow'. Shuzawa's boss was 'Fire Pot', and Yekura's boss was 'Sand Pot'…

“Hanzō's words can be believed, but not entirely. That guy is speaking from his own perspective.

So he will push all the problems away. As for the Uchiha, it can only be said to be a tragedy, done by Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito colluding together.

As for the reason, see if Ebizo can guess it. As for the others, I don't think there's much to say.”

Speaking to here, Shuzawa paused slightly, he slightly tilted his head and smiled.

“It's still beneficial to you, after all, I've heard you're now in the limelight. But running to Konoha to avoid the limelight is really a bit odd.”

“Tch, you're really boring.”

Yekura rolled her eyes. What Shuzawa said was basically what Konoha would let them know.

Except for Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito, their village could guess the rest.

As for avoiding the limelight, she couldn't be bothered to deny it.

“Isn't this something you guys arranged? Now that there's a problem, as allies, shouldn't you do something?

But speaking of which, the situation of that lord behind you isn't very good, is it?”

“Well, it's more than not very good, I'm afraid he's about to go crazy now.”

Shuzawa smiled indifferently, but such an abnormal appearance made Yekura raise her eyebrows.

“It seems you don't care about the one behind you, is it because of those intelligence matters?”

“I said, Hanzō's words cannot be fully believed, but they cannot be disbelieved either.”
