Chapter 115: Appropriateness (3000)
Chapter 115 Just for the right purpose (3000+)
"Huruzen, I know about the Raikage. I will teach Kizaru a lesson when I go back tonight."
Rushing from the Root Base to the Hokage's office, Danzo spoke up for Kizaru as soon as he entered the room.
Sitting in his seat, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just finished a busy day, was smoking and thinking.
Seeing Danzo suddenly breaking into the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth curled up and took off his pipe with a smile.
"Kizaru used his shadow clone to explain to me." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was no longer angry, said with a smile.
Seeing this, Danzo also smiled, took a few steps forward, and sat directly opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Huruzen, the talks of the three countries are over. Do you have any ideas about Kizaru's follow-up arrangements?"
This question was the main purpose of Danzo's meeting with Sarutobi Hiruzen alone when he was about to get off work.
Danzo's question was also the question that Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about.
As for Kizaru's arrangement, before the Rain Country War, Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea was to form a three-person team for this disciple and let him lead the team to participate in the Chunin Exam.
After the Chunin Exam, arrange Kizaru to lead a few high-level tasks, and then he can be promoted to the Jonin class.
Unfortunately, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Kizaru's performance in the Rain Country is too outstanding!
Defeat Hanzo, kill the Wind Shadow, and destroy nearly 2,000 ninjas of Sand Village alone. The reputation of the golden flash has spread throughout the ninja world.
Under such circumstances, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen is thick-skinned, he can't make arrangements for Kizaru to lead the team to participate in the joint Chunin Exam.
In other words, if Kizaru is forced to participate in the Chunin Exam, then the Chunin Exam cannot be held jointly.
After all, the shadows and senior officials of other villages are not fools!
In addition, some time ago, Kizaru brought the three ninjas to visit and proposed a reform plan, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen's evaluation of this disciple even higher.
With Kizaru's strength and thinking, just letting him lead the team to carry out the mission is simply a waste of talent!
Because of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been hesitant about Kizaru's subsequent arrangements.
"Have you talked to Kizaru, Danzo?" Looking at Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked back.
"Before Kizaru left the village, he talked to me. He hopes to cooperate with Orochimaru to establish the Konoha Research Institute together."
"Konoha Research Institute?" Danzo's answer was a bit unexpected to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Could it be that Kizaru is talented in scientific research in addition to his talents in training and leadership management?
"Kizaru is not going to participate in the research. He proposed to establish a Konoha Science Corps with the main responsibilities of protection, research material collection, and trial use of results in response to the research needs of the Research Institute."
Danzo saw what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking at a glance and explained it out loud.
Konoha Science Corps?
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't figure out whether Kizaru's wild idea was good or bad for a while.
But considering cost savings and other aspects, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't agree very much.
"These needs of the Konoha Research Institute can be met by the cooperation of the Anbu and the Root. It is too much to form a ninja unit affiliated with the Research Institute alone!"
Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea, Danzo supports Kizaru's proposal.
Danzo's idea is very simple. If the scientific unit proposed by Kizaru can be established, the Shimura clan will have two organized ninja units at the same time, and the armed forces will be improved again.
You should know that in the whole Konoha, in non-wartime, there are only three organized ninja units, the Anbu of the Hokage, the Root in his own hands, and the Police Department controlled by the Uchiha clan.
So, if Kizaru's Konoha Science Unit can pass the resolution of the top leaders and be established, Danzo will support it ten thousand times.
It is precisely because of this that Danzo was not surprised that Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected it with the excuse of cost.
After all, no matter how good the relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kizaru is, and how much trust he has in Kizaru, as a Hokage, he can't watch the Shimura clan control two organized ninja units at the same time.
"I don't support it either!" Danzo, who had tested Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude and understood that this was the bottom line of the Hokage, supported him in his heart, but he still echoed him on the surface.
Looking at Danzo deeply, Sarutobi Hiruzen kept a smile on his face, took a puff of cigarette, and spoke slowly.
"You mentioned the research institute, which gave me an idea."
"Oh! What?" Danzo asked curiously.
"This reform is of great importance. Tsunade is in charge of the hospital, and Orochimaru is also watching the research institute. I am very relieved!
Only the reform of the ninja school is not in charge, which makes me worried and sleepless at night!" Looking at Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just been reminded and thought of this arrangement, said aloud.
"Ninja school?" Thinking about Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Danzo smelled something.
This old guy still wants to stay in the position of Hokage!
It is indeed a good thing to let Kizaru go to the Ninja School to be responsible for the reform. It can not only ensure the smooth progress of the reform, but also help Kizaru to build a relationship with the new generation of ninjas and cultivate confidants.
However, the oldest students in this ninja school are only twelve or thirteen years old. It will take at least ten years to wait for these new generations to grow up and form Kizaru's confidants.
Through Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, Danzo can see that Kizaru's position as the successor to Hokage is absolutely solid.
But Danzo further saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to give up the position of Hokage within ten years.
Ten years, Kizaru, who is less than ten years old, can afford to wait, and it is just right.
But being about the same age as Hiruzen, it was a bit painful to wait.
More than ten years later, I will be in my fifties or sixties!
"Hiruzhan, is it a bit of a waste to put Kizaru in the ninja school?" Danzo, who had seen the hope of realizing the ideal of unifying the ninja world and did not have so much patience, raised objections.
"This is the right time! Kizaru's strength no longer needs to be honed by performing missions. I think it is very suitable to let him be responsible for the reform of the ninja school and to train his leadership and management skills."
Before making a decision, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is used to considering the overall situation, will hesitate and get entangled, but once a decision is made, Sarutobi Hiruzen will be very firm and tough.
Danzo, who had known Sarutobi Hiruzen's character after many years of getting along with him, did not refute after hearing his statement, but just nodded silently.
"Now that you have made your decision, I will inform Kizaru."
After saying that, Danzo left his seat, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"Danzo!" Stopping Danzo who had turned around and was about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen said pointedly, "The younger generation still needs time to grow up. For the sake of the village, we old guys have to hold on for a few more years."
"I'm not old yet, Hiruzen!" Understanding the advice in Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo pretended not to understand and replied coldly.
"Hehehe!" Hearing his old friend's answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, "You have to obey your old age! Danzo!"
Without talking, Danzo walked out of the Hokage's office with a cold face.
At the entrance of Konoha Hospital, a full body examination had been done, and Tsunade personally formulated a treatment plan. After completing the first day of treatment, Matt Dai followed Kizaru and Tsunade and walked out of the hospital.
Most parts of his body were wrapped in gauze with medicine, and he was holding the tonic medicine package arranged by Tsunade in his hand. Matt's eyes were red, and he bowed 90° to Tsunade and Kizaru with tears in his eyes to thank him.
"Kizaru-sensei, Tsunade-sama! Thank you for your help!"
"Go back! Dai!" Kizaru said with a smile as he reached out to help Matt Dai up.
Raising his hand to wipe his tears, Matt Dai showed an exaggerated smile to Kizaru and nodded.
"Kizaru-sensei, I will train hard and repay your kindness!"
"There's no rush about training or anything like that, just take good care of your body first! Wear it!"
"Yes!" After nodding vigorously, Matt Dai, who was anxious to go home, said goodbye, "Kizaru-sensei, Tsunade-sama! Goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
Tsunade and Kizaru stood together and watched Matt Dai go away.
"What a surprise!" Looking at Matt's back as he walked away, Kizaru spoke.
Supporting her waist with one hand, Tsunade looked up at Kizaru beside her in confusion.
"I didn't expect that Dai already had a wife and was pregnant." Facing Tsunade's gaze, Kizaru said in explanation.
Looking at Matt Dai who had walked away again, thinking about his outrageous behavior in the hospital before, Tsunade couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
But soon, Tsunade changed the target of her complaints and looked at Kizaru again.
The same weird clothes, the same inability to speak well, how dare this guy Kizaru dare to talk to others?
"You'd better think about yourself!" Tsunade said, half facing Kizaru, with her hands folded in front of her chest.
"Oh ho ho! I have someone!" Kizaru said with a lewd smile as Tsunade looked at him with disgust.
"Who?" Tsunade's eyes widened and she asked quickly with a little excitement.
Faced with Tsunade's question, Kizaru didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.
Tsunade reacted as Kizaru kept looking at him and noticed the mean smile on his face.
A flash of red flashed across her cheeks, and shame and anger came to her mind. Tsunade yelled: "Go to hell! Bastard!"
While roaring, Tsunade swung her right fist.
Unlike beating Jiraiya, Tsunade did not use any strange power technique when beating Kizaru, but just used her own strength.
Tsunade's pure physical strength is also not small, but it is nothing to Kizaru, who has the physical fitness of a peak general.
Because of his height, Tsunade's fist could only hit Kizaru's chest.
It felt like being hit on a hard rock. Tsunade, who had not refined her chakra, even took a step back because of the force of the shock.
"You are such a monster!" Tsunade said angrily as she waved her right hand and looked at Kizaru who was still smiling as nothing happened.
"Isn't it very hard? Sister Tsunade!" Kizaru said jokingly after noticing Tsunade's hand-waving action.
"Asshole!" Tsunade glared at Kizaru, turned around and walked into the hospital.
