Chapter 282 Cooperation Achieved! Danzo's Plan!
Land of Fire, Konoha.
After all the concluding work of the promotion assessment was completed.
Konoha ushered in a new round of reorganization, not only involving various squads and battalions.
It even involved Anbu and Root.
Survival of the fittest is always the eternal law of the food chain.
Of course, all of this...had no direct connection to Fujiwara Tetsuya, who had just secured a vacation from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Before Iwagakure officially declared war.
Before Amegakure's combat power was completely decimated by Sunagakure.
Konoha would obviously not take large-scale actions. This interim period...was definitely the best time to recuperate...Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi clan grounds.
Just as the Konoha Higher-Ups were once again immersed in their busy schedules, several figures slowly appeared at the entrance of the clan grounds.
"Lord Danzo, for such a small matter, it would suffice for us to make the trip. Why did you have to come in person?"
Gazing at the scene within the courtyard, several Root members following behind Danzo hesitated for a few seconds before Can't help it reminding him.
Fujiwara Tetsuya! Looking at all of Konoha, and even the entire Land of Fire.
He had probably become a presence known by everyone.
But in Root...in the eyes of these fanatical followers of Danzo, even if Fujiwara Tetsuya was very strong and had the potential to reach Kage-level in the future.
Given Fujiwara Tetsuya's current status and the foundations of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans.
He was not qualified to have Danzo, a Konoha Higher-Up, personally visit him.
To enjoy such treatment, one would at least have to be like the Aburame, Yamanaka, Nara...Shinobi Clans.
"Hmph~ All of you, be quiet!"
"When has it been your place to criticize how this old man does things?"
Although he knew these subordinates were thinking of him.
Danzo still felt a bit displeased.
In Root, when had his words...ever been questioned by others?
Even when Fukurou was present...
"Lord Danzo, Tetsuya-nii has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Although Fujiwara Tetsuya was still holed up in his room, he sensed Danzo's arrival immediately.
To prevent Danzo's fierce appearance from scaring the children of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans, he sent Fujiwara Aiko and the others to the training ground in the backyard before sending Uzumaki Kyoji.
Looking at the perpetrator who had once sent Root members to abduct him, Uzumaki Kyoji, while maintaining proper etiquette, couldn't help but show a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Oh, it's the Uzumaki Clan's child!"
"You've grown so big already?"
"How about it? Root is currently recruiting. Are you interested in joining Root?"
"If you are willing to join Root, this old man can guarantee you that the promises of the past are still valid."
Compared to Uzumaki Kyoji, Danzo's demeanor was quite calm.
After all, in past high-stakes situations, he had already developed an incredibly thick skin.
"Hmph~"
Just as Uzumaki Kyoji was unable to restrain himself and was about to utter a few sarcastic remarks.
Fujiwara Tetsuya's clear voice slowly drifted down from the attic, instantly breaking the relatively strange atmosphere.
"Since Lord Danzo has arrived, why don't you just come in?"
"Kyoji, go to the backyard and watch Aiko and the others train. Also, have Meihua brew a pot of tea and bring it up."
From the attic, Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at Danzo.
Although his expression was exceptionally calm, his heart was already churning with countless waves, unable to settle for a long time.
This day had finally arrived.
"How is it, Lord Danzo? The tea in the clan is a bit cheap, so it probably doesn't taste very good, does it?"
After Uzumaki Meika left, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly withdrew his gaze and calmed the agitation in his heart.
"Although it's bland, it's acceptable."
"Tetsuya, if you like drinking tea, I still have some excellent tea that I found from the Land of Tea. When I return, I'll send someone to deliver it to you."
After choosing to compromise and cooperate with Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Danzo felt that Fujiwara Tetsuya was becoming more and more agreeable.
Although this change was largely due to Fujiwara Tetsuya's change in strength.
"Oh! Then I'll trouble Lord Danzo."
"However...Lord Danzo, you didn't come to see me just for tea today, did you?"
"That's natural. These are the materials you requested regarding Earth Release, Wind Release, Fire Release, and Water Release Chakra nature transformation, as well as the Ninjutsu and Forbidden Techniques that the Second Hokage researched during his lifetime."
"However, I told you beforehand that most of those things are in the hands of Hiruzen and the Senju Clan."
"Currently, this old man can only find this much..."
As he spoke, Danzo flicked his sleeve, directly throwing dozens of scrolls in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Not bad... You've truly gone to a lot of trouble!"
Looking at the scrolls in front of him, although most of them were copied versions, from the quantity, Danzo truly hadn't intended to be perfunctory with him.
"Child, I have fulfilled what I promised you."
"But I hope you can keep the promise you made to me..."
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya's attention completely immersed in the scrolls in front of him.
Danzo, while feeling pleased, couldn't help but remind him.
Without any leverage to bind Fujiwara Tetsuya, he could only place his hopes on Fujiwara Tetsuya's elusive character.
"That's natural. Since you have fulfilled my requests, I naturally won't go back on my word."
"If you or Root encounter any troublesome matters in the future, you can come to me anytime."
After gathering the scrolls in front of him and moving them behind him.
A slight smile also appeared on Fujiwara Tetsuya's lips as he looked at Danzo.
From a certain perspective, Danzo was much more generous than Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"That's good..."
..."Meihua, when did Tetsuya-nii get involved with that old geezer?"
"He even personally escorted him out..."
At the corner of the attic, Uzumaki Kyoji leaned out, watching Fujiwara Tetsuya personally escorting Danzo and the Root members away.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
Analyzing from past conflicts, they and Root should be in a hostile state.
Even if they eventually made peace under the mediation of the Third Hokage, it should still be...the kind of relationship where they would rather die than interact.
"How would I know such a thing?"
"If you really want to know, why don't you ask Tetsuya-kun directly?"
"Cough~ I'd better go train!"
...After moving away from the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi clan grounds.
The Root Ninja once again changed into their Root uniforms.
"Lord Danzo, we just followed Uzumaki Kyoji to the backyard..."
"The children of this generation of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans seem to have good talent and strength."
"They have clearly received systematic training since childhood. These children indeed have the potential to become Root reserve members."
At this moment, Fujiwara Tetsuya, who had just returned to the attic, was unaware that Danzo, in order to tie him to Root's war efforts.
Had set his sights on the children of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans who were still attending the Ninja Academy.
