As soon as Hyuga Kei walked out of the Hokage's office, he heard the tapping of a cane from the corridor. Even though he was far away, he could feel the coldness emanating from the person coming from him, as if he were in an ice cellar.
Danzo walked over on crutches and stopped when he passed by Hinata Kai. He asked: "Boy, are Uchiha Shisui familiar with you?"
Hinata Kai raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was being targeted by this old immortal.
Danzo wanted to get another kaleidoscope of Shisui, but Shisui died without a body. He, a person who had a lot of contact with Shisui recently, is a possible clue.
With Danzo's character of preferring to kill by mistake, it is very likely that he is already planning to arrest and torture him, so it makes no difference whether he explains now or not.
Thinking of this, Hinata Kai pretended to be confused and asked: "Who are you?"
"I am the leader of the root, Danzo Shimura." Danzo squinted his eyes slightly, with a hint of doubt in his voice. He said, "Answer my questions, and you must not hide anything!"
"It turns out to be Danzo-sama. From what I understand, your roots seem to belong to the ANBU?"
"What do you mean?"
Hyuga Kei was leaning on a cane, facing Danzo who was also leaning on a cane. He said: "Since you are an Anbu, if you want to know anything from me, you can ask the Third Generation to give an order."
Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You think I'm not qualified to ask you questions?"
Hyuga Kei said: "I didn't mean that. But I think since you also belong to the ANBU, you should obey the orders of the Third Generation."
"If the Third Generation feels that I need to explain something to you, then I will definitely explain it truthfully."
"How about it? The Third Generation is in the office now, why don't you go and beg him now?"
After hearing these words, Danzo's face turned pale. He stared at Hinata Kei and said, "How dare you?!"
How many years have passed since he became the leader of the clan? Everyone in the village has been respectful to him when they see him. But now a mere Hinata dared to mock him in front of him.
What does it mean that he is a subordinate of Sarutobi Hiruzen and all he has to do is beg for help? Is he one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's dogs? !
Danzo's hand held the crutch tightly, and due to excessive exertion, his wooden crutch made a squeaking sound, and it seemed that it might break at any time.
If at another time and place, Hinata Kei dared to speak to him like this, he would have taken action directly.
But it happened that he was in the Hokage Building at this moment, and it was right outside the Hokage's office. Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely not allow him to mess around.
Faced with Danzo's unabashed threats and even murderous intentions, Hinata Kei didn't pay attention. No matter what he did, Danzo would never let him go for Shisui's left eye.
In this case, why should we compromise and be a little more unrestrained? If Danzo is really pissed off and gets a heart attack, that can be considered a contribution to Konoha.
And he actually doesn't have to worry about anything. He showed the will of fire just to get the appreciation of the third generation. Now that the Third Generation needs him to do something, he will definitely not let Danzo mess around.
Thinking of this, Hinata Kei pointed to the squeaky crutch in Danzo's hand and said, "Master Danzo, if you can't afford a better crutch, I can give you one."
"Don't worry, I still have some income as a psychiatrist, as long as you ask me."
After finishing speaking, Hinata Kei tilted his head and looked at Danzo silently with his gray eyes, as if waiting for him to ask.
Danzo's chest kept rising and falling. He hadn't been so angry for a long time. If possible, he really wanted to tear Hinata Kai's mouth apart.
However, at this moment, a cough came from the Hokage's office.
Hearing the noise, Hyuga Kei smiled and said, "Danzo-sama, if there is nothing else, I will leave first?"
Danzo gave Hinata Kei a sharp look and said, "Hinata Kei, you will regret it!"
He felt that he shouldn't bother questioning Hinata Kai. Anyway, he would torture Hinata Kai sooner or later for Shisui's information. Then he would want to see how arrogant Hinata Kai was.
Thinking of this, Danzo felt much relieved, as if he had foreseen Hinata Kei begging for mercy in front of him.
However, just as Danzo was about to enter the Hokage's office, Hyuga Kei said: "Danzo, you are not the Hokage!"
Suddenly, there was a "click" and the sound of the crutches breaking. Hyuga Kei felt this scene and left with satisfaction.
The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open.
Danzo, half of his face bandaged, walked in on crutches. He said, "Hiruzhan, hand over that boy Hinata Kei to me. He had many contacts with Shisui before his death. He must be tortured."
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, Danzo." Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "How old are you, why are you still arguing with a child?"
"Hyuga Kei was also considering the rules of the village. He did not do anything wrong."
"In addition, regarding the contact between Hinata Kei and Shisui, I have checked this. It is just accidental, so you don't have to worry."
Danzo was unmoved, his eyes were fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he said coldly: "Whether he is related to Uchiha Shisui or not, it is more reliable to let the roots confirm it."
"This is impossible." Hiruzen Sarutobi refused directly and warned: "I have other plans for him. You are not allowed to have any thoughts about him."
Danzo frowned and asked, "This guy is blind. Is there anything worth arranging for you?"
"Hyuga Kei has a will of fire that is not inferior to Shisui, or even better."
"The will of fire?" As an old comrade, Danzo squinted his eyes. He quickly realized his old friend's plan. He said, "Are you planning to make him the second Shisui?"
"Yes, I need to use Hyuga Kei to understand the intelligence of the Hyuga clan and ensure their safety."
Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Hokage Rock outside the window. His voice was low and decisive: "The current village cannot afford too much turmoil. You should know this."
"So that's it. It's best to ensure Hinata's safety first... As expected of you, Hiruzen."
Seeing the determined look on his old friend's face, Danzo knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan was. Although it is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to admit it, he will eventually acquiesce.
Thinking of this, Danzo said: "Since this is the case, then follow your ideas."
"But Hiruzen, if one day you hesitate, then don't blame me for taking action."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of cigarette and exhaled thick smoke, which blocked his vision. He said: "Danzo, please don't misinterpret my meaning, and I won't allow you to mess around!"
"Oh, of course you will order me not to mess around. You have always done this, haven't you?"
Danzo just smiled coldly. He took a deep look at his old friend in front of him, and then left the Hokage's office. Before leaving, he said: "You are the leaf bathing in the sun, but I am the root in the darkness..."
"Hiruzen, if one day you are no longer decisive and lose your judgment, then you should give up your position to someone more capable."
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Danzo's figure disappear, without saying much, only silence.
