Chapter 265: Conditions and Cooperation! Sacrifice Your Life!
"What a wise choice, Lord Danzo!"
Watching Danzo's face gradually return to calm,
Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled softly,
and directly threw the Owl in front of Danzo.
"My conditions?"
"First, have Root members stay away from me in the future! Don't provoke me again!"
"Agreed!"
"This Old fellow can guarantee that from today onwards, this Old fellow and Root members will no longer trouble you!"
As a high-ranking member of Konoha,
The Darkness of Konoha,
Danzo had always relied on his power and some underhanded methods to coerce others.
Now, being threatened by Fujiwara Tetsuya,
Danzo naturally harbored a belly full of suppressed anger.
"Second, I need complete training materials for Water Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release Chakra nature transformation!"
"This should not be difficult for you!"
"Don't think about deceiving me!"
"You should be aware that I have already mastered Lightning Release Chakra nature transformation! I can still see through some basic principles!"
"Hmph! This Old fellow is not as despicable as you imagine!"
"This condition... I agree to it!"
In Danzo's view,
the training materials for Water Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release Chakra nature transformation,
might be invaluable treasures in some people's eyes,
but in Danzo's eyes,
they were nothing special.
Whether it was Root, Anbu, or Shinobi Clans with some foundation like Senju and Uchiha,
they all had collected such information.
Moreover,
in Danzo's opinion,
given Fujiwara Tetsuya's displayed talent and strength,
even if Fujiwara Tetsuya were to study them independently, it wouldn't take much time.
Some things, once one's strength reached a certain level, everything would fall into place naturally.
Furthermore,
behind Fujiwara Tetsuya,
Hiruzen Sarutobi also stood.
If Fujiwara Tetsuya were to make such a request,
he was absolutely certain that
his good friend, the Hokage of Konoha,
would be very willing to offer guidance,
and take the opportunity to win over the loyalty of this... hateful brat in front of him.
Rather than letting the relationship between Fujiwara Tetsuya and Hiruzen Sarutobi become even closer due to this,
it was better to agree to it cleanly and simply.
"Then I truly appreciate your trouble, Lord Danzo!"
"So, my third condition, which is also the last condition,"
"I need all the Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique perfected by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju during his lifetime, including the corresponding research materials for those Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique!"
"Brat... your appetite is too big!"
"That's impossible!"
"The Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique researched by my teacher during his lifetime, throughout all of Konoha, besides Hiruzen and a few Old fellows from the Senju Clan,"
"even this Old fellow cannot claim to know all of them!"
"Let alone gather all of them together!"
Looking at the calm Fujiwara Tetsuya,
Danzo only felt his heart begin to twitch at an extremely strange speed.
Indeed, at the end of the day, he was still a brat!
He simply didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!
"Is that so?"
Hearing Danzo's reply,
Fujiwara Tetsuya's brow gradually furrowed.
Strictly speaking,
the reason he proposed such a condition
was not entirely out of interest in the powerful Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique developed by Senju Tobirama during his lifetime.
Rather,
it was to find a reasonable path through studying Senju Tobirama's Ninjutsu and Forbidden Technique research materials,
to perfect the Rain Hidden Art, a system mission reward he received shortly before in his battle with Hanzo,
and then, in the future,
to perfect and realize his conjectures for Wind Hidden Art, Lightning Hidden Art, and Fire Hidden Art.
"If that's the case, then..."
"Just get as much as you can!"
"I believe that Lord Danzo will definitely not deceive a brat like me on such a matter, right?"
"Don't think about haggling anymore!"
"If Lord Danzo acts quickly and efficiently on these three matters,"
"I can promise you,"
"that in the future... within the limits of my strength, and without violating the Village's interests and my personal bottom line,"
"I will help you and Root solve some tricky problems!"
"Are you serious?"
Danzo clearly was tempted.
In his opinion, Fujiwara Tetsuya saying this
undoubtedly sent a signal.
This brat in front of him seemed not to want to fight him to the death,
but rather wanted to ease the hostile relationship between him and Root.
If that were truly the case,
at least for now,
he, or rather Root,
while "dealing with" Fujiwara Tetsuya as an enemy and ensuring that his and Root's secrets were not leaked,
would also gain a powerful ally.
Although the prerequisites and restrictive conditions mentioned by this brat were numerous,
for the current Root,
there was no doubt that it would be a huge help.
"Of course it's true!"
With a flicker in his eyes,
Fujiwara Tetsuya did not hesitate in the slightest,
and nodded heavily.
To make Danzo focus on what needed to be done,
he had truly gone to great lengths and made a sacrifice.
"You should know my ambition, right?"
"My goal is to become the strongest in the Ninja World! I am only interested in improving my strength!"
"As for... the Hokage position and such, I have no interest whatsoever!"
"Strictly speaking, with the current strength and influence of the Fujiwara, Uesugi, and Tanaka clans,"
"even if I truly had that thought, I wouldn't have the ability to achieve it."
"Neither now nor in the future,"
"will I become a stumbling block to your ambitions and aspirations!"
"Of course, I am also not interested in the dark and gloomy life of Root, nor their underhanded methods!"
"So, even if we reach some kind of cooperation, it's best to have a boundary!"
"Don't think about using any underhanded methods to tie me to your or Root's ship!"
If the first half of Fujiwara Tetsuya's words had made Danzo feel refreshed and comfortable,
then Fujiwara Tetsuya's last few sentences
almost made Danzo choke and cough up a few mouthfuls of old blood!
Indeed, no matter how this brat changed,
he could not make this Old fellow abandon the disgust in his heart!
"Your demands! This Old fellow agrees to them!"
"The conditions you proposed! This Old fellow will send people to prepare them as soon as possible!"
"In half a month at most! Everything you want will appear before you!"
After suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart,
Danzo still made the most advantageous choice based on his rationality.
"Then I wish our upcoming cooperation... success! Respected Lord Danzo!"
"Oh, and one more thing!"
"I also need to remind you!"
"If you truly have something to find me for, you can send someone to the Fujiwara Clan Grounds!"
"Don't let Root members secretly appear before me again! Remember the first condition I proposed!"
"So, as a token of sincerity for our cooperation,"
"I will first solve a tricky problem for you!"
Under Danzo's puzzled gaze,
Fujiwara Tetsuya turned to look at the Owl,
then chuckled softly, and instantly disappeared from Danzo and the others' sight.
