Chapter 444: This Uzumaki Clan Ninja Is Not Simple!
"Uzumaki Nagato!"
Hiruzen stared at Aoba and slowly spoke. His tone was not very good, and he seemed to maintain that kind of low-pitched anger.
"I'm very surprised that you can come here by yourself today, but I have to tell you, don't think that this is a place where you can play around!"
"This is the Hokage's office!"
"I advise you to be sensible and honest. This is good for you and me. Don't make things too rigid!"
Hiruzen's eyes flashed with a cold light. After he confirmed that Aoba was a member of the Uzumaki Clan, he no longer had so many worries.
He had already done what he had done.
There was no turning back now.
The people of the Uzumaki Clan suddenly appeared, wanting nothing more than revenge for the Uzumaki Clan's matter.
This kind of thing...
It was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of him.
In that case...
Rather than waiting for the other party to launch a surprise attack or something, it would be better for him to prepare his defenses first.
In the past, this person had not appeared. No matter how hard he tried, he could not find him. Now that he had come out, the matter was another matter.
"Sorry..."
Aoba shook his head at Hiruzen. The eyes on his mask revealed an indescribable indifference.
"I think this is a place where we can play around freely."
Aoba did not need to worry about anything, just like how he used the Kazekage and Tsuchikage's identities to do things.
There was nothing to worry about.
Right now, he was Nagato.
This was a temporary identity.
No matter what he did with Nagato's identity, it had nothing to do with him, Yamanaka Aoba.
Especially now that he was in the Anbu dormitory under the watch of many ninjas and had not come out at all, he had already proved that he and Nagato were two different people.
"You have to pay attention to your words!" Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, the cold light in his eyes somewhat restrained, but it still made people feel incomparably cold.
"I don't need to pay attention to those things." Aoba directly let go of himself. He fixed his eyes on Hiruzen and after that added, "The purpose of my visit this time is to treat Danzo. The other things are not within my scope. Now I am not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. I am going to see Danzo."
"Danzo is not someone you can meet just because you say so," Hiruzen said coldly.
"No, you are wrong. If I say I see him, I can see him." Aoba shook his head again. He did not put Hiruzen in his eyes at all. Not to mention Hiruzen, he did not even take to heart the current five Kage. He really enjoys the feeling that he can quietly influence the situation in the ninja world.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" After hearing Aoba's disrespectful words to Hiruzen several times, Shikaku suddenly became angry and roared at Aoba.
"You have no right to speak here!" Aoba didn't even look at Shikaku. After that, he said, "You thought you were smart enough to eavesdrop on our conversation outside and used Kagemane no Jutsu(Shadow Imitation Technique) to sneak attack me. But have you ever thought that is it appropriate for you, a Hokage's office advisor, to get involved in it?"
"What do you mean?" Shikaku was stunned by Aoba's sudden words. His mind couldn't keep up for a moment. He thought that Aoba said something, but he didn't say it too clearly. It seemed that he was saying that his actions were wrong, but in his heart, he still felt that he had just done very well.
"How much do you know about the Uzumaki Clan's matter?" A sneer appeared on Aoba's face behind the mask. He continued, "You don't know anything at all, but you directly participated in it. Not only is it reckless, you even put Sandaime-sama in a difficult spot."
"What exactly do you mean?" The more Shikaku listened, the more he felt that the problem was serious. However, he did not know what kind of connection these things had. This feeling was like there was a layer of fog in front of him, making him unable to see what the scene before him was.
"I always thought that you were a very smart person, but when you became stupid, you were also really stupid. This might be the burden of a smart person. That is, they always thought that they were smart and believed in their own judgment. In the end, they become confused." Aoba said sarcastically.
"You..." Shikaku was baffled by Aoba's words, but he did not know how to refute them. Instead, he was more curious about the meaning of Aoba's words so he asked again, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"You still haven't understood!" Aoba shook his head and turned his gaze to Hiruzen. When he was talking to Shikaku just now, Hiruzen did not say a word. Obviously, the other party did not know what to say. Aoba then said, "If not for your sudden appearance, Sandaime-sama might have already killed me by now!"
"What are you talking about" Shikaku was greatly shocked by Aoba's words. This was different from what he knew about Hiruzen. Although he had discovered that Hiruzen was not as simple as he had imagined, if he were to do something like this, it would be completely different from the kind image that Hiruzen had created all along.
"If you understand, then you understand. If you don't understand, then I won't say anything. In short, when you do things in the future, don't be so subjective. Many things are not what you think they are. It is precisely your self-righteous cleverness that caused things to be biased from the very beginning. You are still young and there is still a lot to do. I believe that in the future you will be a very good strategist for Konohagakure, but..." Aoba dragged out his words as if he was trying to whet his appetite. In the end, he coldly said, "You are still not qualified."
"Enough!"
When Hiruzen heard this, he finally couldn't take it anymore. Just now, he did not refute or quibble.
This did not mean that he did not want to do so.
It was because he did not have a suitable excuse.
What Aoba said was right.
That was what he thought just now.
He wanted to take advantage of the time when Aoba came here alone to confirm that Aoba was a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan. After confirming that there was no one else, he would directly eliminate the roots.
"Sandaime-sama!"
Aoba looked at Hiruzen and his voice became much gentler. He said, "Now I am going to treat Danzo's injuries. If there is nothing else, I will go out."
"You can't leave."
Hiruzen shook his head without hesitation. At this critical juncture, although he needed this medical ninja to treat Danzo, there were still many things that he had not figured out. He needed more time to ask Aoba.
"You need to answer some of my questions."
"After I get the answer."
"I will ask you to treat Danzo."
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Hiruzen's expression became extremely serious. He looked especially serious. What happened here had already exceeded his expectations. He had to do his best to keep things under control.
"Hahahahaha!"
Aoba immediately raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard something very funny. After laughing, he slowly shook his head, and his eyes, which were exposed to the outside, revealed a playful look.
"Sandaime-sama, what should I say about you? You really haven't recognized the current situation!"
"I want to treat Danzo. You can't stop me. I don't need to care about your so-called topics at all!"
"But..."
"Once I decide not to treat Danzo."
"Then even if you beg me, it won't work for half a day!"
"The most important thing is..."
"You can't order me using your Hokage identity. I am not a member of your Konohagakure. I remember that you are very good at compromising. Why do you look tough when you are facing me?"
"Could it be that you think I'm a soft persimmon?"
After Aoba finished speaking, his body quickly charged toward Hiruzen. His speed was extremely fast. The speed he instantly erupted with was even faster than the Third Raikage.
The distance between Aoba and Hiruzen was already very close.
In addition, he suddenly released such an astonishing speed.
There was no time for Hiruzen to dodge.
Swish!
Aoba directly appeared in front of Hiruzen, raising his hand to grab Hiruzen's neck.
"???"
At this moment, question marks appeared in both Hiruzen and Shikaku's minds. Their eyes saw Aoba moving, but they only saw it and could not see it too clearly. Let alone the body, they couldn't even see the shadow at all.
Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out.
Aoba directly grabbed Hiruzen's neck and picked him up, but he did not maintain this action. Instead, he threw Hiruzen on the ground.
Hiruzen could not react in time, but after this, he immediately recovered. After doing a backflip in the air, he steadily landed on the ground and did not fall.
"As expected of Konoha's Hokage, this body's balance ability is really good!" Aoba praised from the bottom of his heart. Hiruzen was the weakest of all the Hokage in Konohagakure history. However, this person did not have any advantages and the only important thing about him was that he was very balanced. He knew everything and was not weak at all, but he was not proficient in anything. If such a ninja was placed in the rank of Jonin, he would be the elite among the elites. But if it was placed in the Kage rank, it would appear that the heart was willing but the strength was not enough.
"You..."
Hiruzen furrowed his brows. He was no longer as arrogant as before. As the saying goes, the moment an expert made a move, you would know whether he was an expert or not.
The moment Hiruzen was grabbed by Aoba, he felt a huge iron pincer around his neck and directly clamped him up.
He was unable to break free at all.
He could only let this hand throw him out.
At that moment, he felt his entire body swaying, and his vision was spinning. If not for his solid foundation skills, he would have fallen to the ground just now.
This also made him start to pay attention to Aoba's strengths.
This Uzumaki Clan ninja was not simple!
The way Hiruzen looked at Aoba had already changed. If it was just a sealing technique and medical ninjutsu, then it could indeed be very powerful, but it was yet not a threat.
After all, medical ninjutsu was only an auxiliary in most cases.
The sealing technique was originally a special type, and it was not an ability to be used as a main fighting technique. Otherwise, the Uzumaki clan would not be exterminated.
But...
Now he found that this Uzumaki clan ninja in front of him had very strong taijutsu, and the level of taijutsu was very high, so he was not easy to deal with.
One must know...
There weren't any powerful taijutsu users in Konohagakure!
Among the few who used taijutsu as their main fighting technique was Duy and he was only a Genin.
When Hiruzen faced Kumogakure's attack, he had already clearly recognized how terrifying their ability would be if they could practice taijutsu well.
Because of this.
After seeing Aoba's taijutsu, Hiruzen began to re-evaluate Aoba in his heart.
"Sandaime-sama, can you understand the situation now? Do you understand why I came here alone to find you, and why I can treat Danzo at will?"
Aoba acted as if nothing had happened. Step by step, he walked toward the door of the office. His steps had a unique frequency, and he was not disturbed by Hiruzen and Shikaku.
On the contrary.
Because of the unique rhythm of Aoba's footsteps, Hiruzen and Shikaku's hearts were beating with a special rhythm, and they were both a little nervous.
"Do you have any other opinions now?"
Aoba looked at Hiruzen and then looked at Shikaku next to him. Although they could not see Aoba's face, both of them could feel the confidence and indifference emanating from him.
This was no longer something that could be described as fearless!
This was absolute confidence!
Confidence in strength!
And...
The confidence brought about by strength!
"..."
Hiruzen's face was extremely gloomy. He was constantly evaluating whether the result of fighting with Aoba was good or bad.
After a thought struggle.
The part of Hiruzen who was terrified in his heart still had the upper hand.
Previously, when he was facing Aoba, he was stronger because he did not treat Aoba as an equal existence at all. When he spoke, he used a commanding tone and even wanted to get rid of Aoba at any time.
However, after the confrontation just now, things changed drastically. He understood that Aoba was not as simple as he imagined.
"I have no objections if you want to treat Danzo, but I have to be there. Otherwise, I can not allow you to do anything to Danzo alone!"
