Naruto: Max Skill With One Click

Chapter 37: MSOC: Chapter 37

The large Hokage office was enveloped in a strange, oppressive atmosphere.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado’s faces turned pale green as they faced the Third Hokage’s anger.

However, they were also dissatisfied with Danzo’s underhanded actions.

”Hmph, Sarutobi, you’re not as sharp as you used to be,” Danzo snorted, his attitude softening slightly.

All along, no matter what he did in secret, Sarutobi Hiruzen could always see through him.

He had even attempted to take the Hokage’s position several times, but he was always defeated by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If it wasn’t for their old friendship and his claim of acting for the good of Konoha, Root would have ceased to exist long ago.

”Don’t worry. This time, the people I sent aren’t from Konoha. They’re some wandering ninjas. No matter what the outcome, they won’t know my identity,” Danzo said solemnly.

”If they fail, Uchiha Kai will only think it was done by another village. After all, he’s been showing off his skills lately.”

After saying this, Danzo turned and left.

Watching the office door close, the Third Hokage couldn’t help but rub his throbbing temples.

”Sarutobi, what are you going to do now?” Homura Mitokado couldn’t help but ask.

Koharu Utatane remained silent, only staring at the Third Hokage.

They knew that Danzo’s words were his biggest concession.

As for the final outcome, it was up to the Third Hokage’s decision.

”That Danzo, he’s a real headache,” the Third Hokage sighed helplessly.

”Send someone to inform Minato. There are wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire. Tell them to be careful.”

In the Third Hokage’s eyes, Danzo’s starting point was for the safety of Konoha.

Moreover, they only knew that Danzo had used some means to contact the wandering ninjas.

No one knew who these wandering ninjas were.

Therefore, it was impossible to stop them.

The only solution was to inform Minato Namikaze to be vigilant.

If Uchiha Kai could return alive, that would be a testament to his strength.

If he was assassinated on the way, then it was fate.

”Sarutobi is right. That’s the only thing we can do now,” Homura Mitokado agreed. ”The Land of Fire is in turmoil now. The speed of the Land of Earth’s attacks and deployments has changed.”

”It seems this two-year-long stalemate is about to end. Once Minato arrives in Konoha, have him lead his team to the Land of Earth for the final mission.”

Outside.

As soon as Danzo left the Hokage’s office, Fū Yamanaka and Aburame Torune emerged from the shadows.

”Danzo-sama, how did things go?” Fū Yamanaka couldn’t contain his anxiety.

”You must avenge my father.”

Yamanaka Ryōya was Fū Yamanaka’s father and Danzo’s most capable subordinate.

When he heard that his father had been killed by Uchiha Kai, Yamanaka Ryōya volunteered to take revenge.

But they never expected that not only did they fail to avenge him, but they also lost their lives.

”Fū, don’t worry. The wandering ninjas I contacted this time are from a declining clan. Among them is a long-lived monster. With him, that kid, no matter how strong he is, has always been so low-key and must lack combat experience,” Danzo sneered.

Fū Yamanaka’s expression froze. ”Danzo-sama, you mean the monster who has been appearing on various battlefields, carrying out bounty assassinations?”

Aburame Torune, who had been silent, instantly changed his expression.

If Danzo had really hired that legendary person, then Uchiha Kai would definitely be dead.

It would take at least four days to reach the stronghold from Konoha, even with full speed.

Minato Namikaze was eager to return to Konoha to check the situation, so he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave early.

Although Minato Namikaze mentioned that he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take them with him, Kai refused.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was actually not much different from Sasuke’s later Rinnegan’s spatial jump.

However, Sasuke could open spatial gates in all directions with the Rinnegan.

Minato Namikaze could only jump through Flying Thunder God Technique seals.

Moreover, the number of people being transferred would greatly increase the consumption of chakra and mental strength.

Even the distance of the spatial jump would be shortened.

Therefore, Kai refused.

”Kai, there’s a post station ahead. Why don’t we rest here?” Gekko Hayate asked timidly.

Along the way, Gekko Hayate had kept his distance from Kai.

But after days of travel, he was indeed a little exhausted. Although they were only twenty miles from Konoha, he couldn’t help but suggest it.

”Kai, we’re near Konoha’s alert position now. Why don’t we rest for a bit?” Uzuki Yūgao wiped the sweat from her forehead and showed a hint of fatigue.

If Uzuki Ao knew that on his way back, he had given Yūgao and Kai a chance to do something unspeakable, he wouldn’t know what expression to make.

All their time was spent on the journey.

Kai stopped first, standing in front of the post station, looking at the merchant caravan inside with an amused smile.

”Let’s go. It’s quite lively here. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises.”

His inexplicable words made Uzuki Yūgao stunned, but Gekko Hayate had already run inside.

”Boss, hurry up and bring me a pot of tea and three portions of meatballs,” Gekko Hayate shouted, then remembered that Gekko Yoru had told him to treat Uchiha Kai as the leader.

Seeing Uchiha Kai walking in quickly, he hurriedly said, ”I ordered the meatballs for you guys.”

Looking at Gekko Hayate, who was clearly embarrassed, Kai shook his head with a smile. ”You eat these. I’m not hungry.”

”Guests, your tea and meatballs are here.” An old man with a wrinkled face walked out from the kitchen.

”Young man, I advise you to try them. Our post station’s meatballs are so good that merchants from far and wide will come out of their way to try them. If you try them once, you’ll definitely come back for more.”

”Really? It’s so delicious? I’ve never heard of it,” Uzuki Yūgao’s eyes lit up.

They weren’t as abnormal as Kai, and this was their first long-distance mission.

After a long journey, their stomachs were already rumbling.

Hearing the old man’s praise, they couldn’t help but grab the meatballs and stuff them in their mouths.

”Alright, don’t eat these meatballs. Everyone is looking at you,” Kai suddenly grabbed Uzuki Yūgao’s hand.

His sudden action made Uzuki Yūgao stunned, then her cheeks flushed red. ”Kai, there are so many people here. Let go of my hand.”

Looking at the blushing Yūgao, Kai rolled his eyes helplessly.

She was getting distracted too quickly.

It seemed that the precocious mindset of the Naruto world was indeed powerful!
