Konoha's task master

The two lay on the wooden chairs for a while, and Jiraiya got up and took Yakumo to Ichiraku Ramen for lunch.

The two separated.

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo walked towards Hatake's mansion.

After all, he still bears the sacred mission from the Third Hokage, and needs to find out the truth about Hatake Sakumo.

Yakumo entered the Hatake mansion very familiarly and found Hatake Sakumo in the study very easily.

"Bump." "Bang." "Bump."

Yakumo immediately created ten shadow clones and squatted in the corner to practice ninjutsu. ANBU members would not rush into Hatake's mansion and follow them. This became the only safe area where Yakumo could use his shadow clones to practice ninjutsu.

"Come again?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

"After all, we have a mission." Yakumo replied with a smile.

Hatake Sakumo silently picked up the book and continued reading. He had lost his only pleasure these days.

Danzo has not been seen for several days due to injury.

I can't...please give me some advice, Danzo-sama.

"Danzo's injury...how long will it take to heal?"

"About twenty days," Hatake Sakumo said.

That slash not only contained Hatake Sakumo's own power, but also the endless power of thunder borrowed from nature, which was an even more brilliant and domineering energy.

"I plan to assassinate Danzo tomorrow." Yakumo said.

Hatake Sakumo put down the book in his hand and raised his head.

"This is very dangerous...is it safe?"

"This is an assassination attempt that is likely to be lost, but I want to try it...after all, the opportunity is rare." Yakumo replied immediately. He had been thinking about this plan for several days.

Yakumo continued.

"The most important thing is that I have the confidence to escape intact."

"Then give it a try." Hatake Sakumo stopped persuading.

"I will report to ANBU tomorrow."

If something happens to Danzo, Hatake Sakumo will be the first suspect that everyone thinks of, so he needs many people to provide alibi for him.

On the other hand, when necessary, he could take action to stop the assassin, and when the time came to let him go if he made a mistake, no one would be able to fault him.

"good."

The two of them asked and answered questions and decided Danzo's life or death in less than a minute, which seemed extremely relaxed and comfortable.

"You still have to be careful," Hatake Sakumo reminded.

"I know…"

Hatake Sakumo took out the ninjutsu scroll from under his desk.

"This is the sensory ninjutsu you want."

Yakumo opened the scroll and found that the name of this ninjutsu was called Heart Wave. There were no secret words in it. After a brief reading, he roughly understood the way this ninjutsu works.

When used, it continuously releases nearly invisible chakra fluctuations, which spread out instantly. Finally, the strength of the enemy is judged by the fluctuations reflected when passing through the human body.

The level is probably B-level ninjutsu, but it is more difficult to get started with sensory ninjutsu, which is a test of talent.

Not bad...learned!

Yakumo once again separated a shadow clone and began to practice the fluctuation of the heart. As for the real body, he sat opposite Hatake Sakumo.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about...how to take sword skills even further," Hatake Sakumo said.

"Perceive the explosion of thunder, and finally fuse the sharpness of wind with the explosion of thunder. Perhaps we can go one step further."

"I've tried it before...and almost blew myself up."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said, his pupils contracting slightly, obviously recalling the extremely terrifying scene.

"Ha..." Yakumo chuckled, secretly giving up his dream of exploring the master level of swordsmanship.

The two chatted for a while, and Hatake Sakumo picked up the book and started reading. Yakumo, after teasing Hatake Kazusa a few times, came to the training ground to practice sword skills.

Danzo would not feel at ease unless he got rid of him.

Yakumo may cause huge trouble after killing Shinichi, but he has no such scruples about killing Danzo. After all, he is not Hokage and does not have any other identity blessing.

Most importantly...Shinichi is funny.

Especially after Kakashi Hatake was injured, Yakumo felt more and more that there was a shadow of Shinichi's layout in it, but he didn't expect the extent of his medical ninjutsu mastery.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yakumo returned home and happened to meet... the housekeeper of the Daming Mansion, Chen Yu, who came to visit.

Yakumo chuckled, as if an old friend was reunited.

The two of them were sitting in the bedroom drinking together.

Yakumo mainly wanted to avoid the ANBU's sight.

"If I had a way to completely transform you into Shinichi, would you be interested in replacing me?"

Yakumo, who was holding the teacup, spoke calmly.

Based on the hiding technique, spending gold coins to inject chakra into Chenyu, and combining it with Uzumaki Yoshiu's sealing skills, Yakumo is indeed confident that he can completely transform Chenyu's appearance and temperament into the daimyo Shinichi.

On the other hand, Chenyu was originally Shinichi's stand-in, his shadow. After replacing him, it would be easy to achieve a perfect match.

In just one sentence... Chenyu lost his initial calmness.

"I... don't... want to." Chen Yu gritted his teeth and replied firmly, his expression full of fear.

"But you actually don't have any right to choose. If you tell Shinichi what I said intact, he will definitely kill you... because he will not leave his own safety to others."

"If you didn't say it, just pretend you didn't hear it... In the future, as long as I mention it to him casually, you will be betraying... He will still kill you... and die miserably."

"Sir, if you want to kill me, just do it...why bother with so much trouble." Chen Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Why do I want to kill you? I am sincerely helping you...helping you become the... daimyo of the Fire Nation."

Yakumo spoke in Chenyu's ear, his voice full of emotion, like an outstanding orator, but also like a devil who inspires desire and leads people to fall.

"At that time, you will enjoy endless wealth and be high up... Look down on all living beings, that is the highest position... From now on, life and death will only be a matter of a thought, and no one in the world will dare to disobey your will."

Chenyu's body trembled slightly, his eyes were no longer firm and loyal, but showed excitement and ambition. His extinguished ambition was ignited by Yakumo's words.

"As long as you agree...you will be the most precious person in the entire ninja world, and countless people will get what you want..."

Yakumo continued to seduce.

Half an hour later, Chenyu's face was pale, his steps were a little shaky, and he staggered away from Yakumo's house. His back no longer looked as calm as before.

Chenyu and Zhenyi have shared joys and sorrows, life and death, and friendship for more than ten years. In other words, Chenyu is the person Zhenyi trusts the most, and Chenyu is also willing to die for Zhenyi.

But this friendship cannot be compared to the supreme position. After all, for that position... How many fathers and sons have turned against each other, brothers have fought against each other, and have fought with each other...

The prerequisite for the close relationship between the two is that Chen Yu can only be the housekeeper of the Daming Mansion for the rest of his life.

The relationship between the two is more like...

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

On the other hand, it was because Chen Yu was not destined for the highest position, but Yakumo gave him a glimmer of hope, which ignited his ambition like a flame... and it was difficult to extinguish it from now on.

Yakumo looked in the direction of the Fire City... and smiled.

Taking the human heart as the battlefield is the most thrilling...

Yakumo is very curious...

Chenyu's choice and Zhenyi's reaction.
