In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group-Chapter 66 - : Danzo’s Demands

[Senju Tobirama: How is that the same?! You're clearly deceiving me! Give me back my techniques!]

[Makoto Ito: What's different about it? You said you wanted him to spurt blood, and didn't I exactly do that? In fact, I even gave him a coma as a bonus. The old man passed out instantly! Just look at how much blood he lost! the ground has practically turned into a river of blood. Isn't this much better than just landing a couple of punches?]

[Senju Tobirama: Shut up!!]

[Makoto Ito: Why are you so mad, Grandpa?]

Tobirama didn't bother explaining his anger because he himself had suffered a nosebleed.

And it wasn't just him. Every single man in the group chat had experienced the same thing. The amount of blood they lost was no less than Sarutobi's.

Even Madara had been so shocked that he instinctively activated his Sharingan.

Ignoring the unconscious Sarutobi and Iruka, Makoto tied up Mizuki. Without sparing them another glance, he turned around and left the forest, heading straight home.

Not long after, Sarutobi regained consciousness.

The first thing he did upon waking was search for Makoto. He wanted to settle the score with that brat. But where had he gone?

All he saw was Naruto standing there in a daze next to the tightly bound Mizuki, while Iruka was sleeping peacefully nearby.

"What a mischievous brat!" Sarutobi couldn't help but recall the Sexy Technique that Naruto had used on him earlier and then, his mind shifted to the even more outrageous technique that Makoto had used.

It was far worse than the Sexy Technique.

'These two kids are unbelievable! Where did they even learn such techniques?! They're so young, yet their minds are already filled with such... perverse thoughts?!'

It was as if they had been shaped from the same mold as his student, Jiraiya.

'No, even Jiraiya wouldn't stoop to developing something this vulgar!'

Sarutobi stood up, rubbed his sore waist, and turned to glare at the trail of shattered trees he had crashed through earlier. His teeth ground together in frustration.

Naruto remained frozen in place, as if his entire worldview had just been rewritten.

"Naruto, where did Makoto go?" Sarutobi asked after seeing Naruto.

"Grandpa Hokage, Makoto said he was sleepy and went home to rest. He told me to wait here for you and Iruka to wake up and to make sure Mizuki was taken care of!" Naruto replied with a cheerful smile.

Sarutobi walked over and patted Naruto's head. "Naruto, you really are a good kid! You worked hard today. As a reward, I'll teach you the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto's face instantly lit up with excitement. Even though he had already learned the technique, getting further insight from the Hokage himself was still a valuable opportunity.

Not long after, the Anbu arrived and took Mizuki away.

Sarutobi began teaching Naruto how to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, while Iruka continued to sleep soundly beside them.

As for Makoto? He was already fast asleep in his own bed, completely unconcerned about the whole situation.

The next day, Makoto woke up early and headed straight to the Academy. Today was the day team assignments were being announced, and he was eager to find out which team he'd be placed in.

He didn't exist in the original story. Someone like him wouldn't have even gotten the chance to be in a class.

But now, things were different.

Makoto was the Academy's top student, even recognized by Sarutobi as a genius. With his current standing, he was curious to see what decision the higher-ups would make regarding his placement.

Would he take Sakura's spot and join Team 7? Or would he end up in a completely different team?

___

At the Hokage's office, a middle-aged man with a sinister expression stood before Sarutobi Hiruzen. One of his arms was tightly wrapped in bandages, and his single visible eye carried an ominous gleam.

This man was none other than the so-called 5.5th Hokage, Shimura Danzō.

"Hiruzen, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki should be trained by Root! Look at what he's learned at the Academy. He couldn't even perform the Clone Technique in his graduation exam! If he were under my Root, he would have been shaped into an exceptional ninja, an actual weapon for the village!"

Sarutobi sat behind his desk, calmly holding his pipe. He took a deep drag, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke.

He gave absolutely zero fucks about Danzō's words.

The smoke was so dense that it completely covered his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Danzo, I am sure I've already told you that Naruto will never be handed over to you! He is not only the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki of the village but also the son of the Fourth Hokage. I am responsible for him! The matter of Naruto joining Root is out of the question!"

Danzo leaned back in his chair, a mocking smile curling his lips. "Haha! Sarutobi! Do you think I don't know you by now? Stop pretending! Those are just excuses! You just want to keep control over the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki yourself."

Then, he continued, "If you won't hand over the Jinchūriki, then at least send Makoto to Root. I heard he's quite the genius. Most importantly, he managed to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan in a single night."

Sarutobi took another slow drag from his pipe, staring at Danzo intently. 'He already knows what happened last night? The only witnesses were Iruka, Naruto, and my own Anbu... So, there's a spy.'

With that realization, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and responded, "Makoto is an exceptional ninja and he has inherited my Will of Fire! He needs bonds, not Root. He is not suited for your ways."

Danzo scoffed. "Hmph! So you plan to keep both of them for yourself?"

"That's right. These two have their own paths, and they will not be going to Root. You've already recruited many new members this year, haven't you? Tell me, Danzo, what exactly are you planning?"

Sarutobi's eyes narrowed dangerously as he fixed Danzo with a piercing glare.

Danzo remained unfazed. "Everything I do is for the village!"

Sarutobi observed him for a moment before taking another drag of his pipe.

"If that's the case, then you have no reason to involve yourself in this matter. Neither of these two will be joining Root. They are still young and need time to grow. I will handle their arrangements. You will stay out of it."
