Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 254 Hey! Danzo, you treacherous dog, take this! I'll unleash a powerful appraisal spell

Seeing the greed in Danzo's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer tolerate it.

"Enough, Danzo. I'm warning you, don't try any more tricks. Root is not allowed to take any action before the Chunin Exams are over, or don't blame me for ruthlessly taking back your control of Root."

"Hiruzen! You should wake up. Konoha is no longer the Konoha it used to be. Look at those ninja clans now, who listens to you?"

Konoha is currently in disarray, like scattered sand; we simply don't have any usable manpower. I know what you're thinking; you're thinking that once the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki grows up, Konoha will have a sufficiently powerful fighting force.

But you should now understand that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki isn't as close to you as you think, nor is his bond with the village as deep as you imagine.

"Enough, Danzo! Shut up! What kind of bond do you consider deep? Is it like a puppet who obeys your every command? Naruto is not your weapon, nor anyone else's weapon. He is a person, a living person, the son of the Fourth Hokage."

Don't think I don't know what you're up to behind the scenes, don't think I don't know about your deals with Orochimaru.

My repeated tolerance stems from the fact that we are friends and comrades-in-arms.

But I'm warning you, don't keep wearing down our relationship. You just need to do your job; you don't need to interfere in anything else.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"Shimura Danzo! I am the true Hokage!"

"Good, very good. You're right, you are the Hokage!"

But if I tell Hiruzen Sarutobi, you'll regret it!

After saying this, Danzo habitually slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and stormed out.

But as soon as I closed the door, it opened again.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a dark expression.

"I'm so angry I've lost my mind! This is my home, and you're the one who should leave!"

"Your roots?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked towards the door and stood next to Danzo.

"The root is the root of Konoha, never the root of any one person. Danzo, you should also reflect on yourself."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi brushed past Danzo and left Root.

While Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were having a huge argument, Tetsuya and his two companions were thoroughly drunk at Tetsuya's villa.

However, only Sakumo Hatake was truly drunk.

After all, of the three people present, only Sakumo Hatake could be considered a true human being.

Looking at Sakumo, who was already passed out drunk, Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh.

"Time flies. I still remember the first time I met Sakumo, he was just a little boy who liked to follow Sakumo around."

"Indeed, life is so short, which is why I am so obsessed with pursuing immortality. Only by obtaining immortality can I break free from the shackles of life and pursue the mysteries of this world."

Orochimaru was also deeply moved.

"It is also thanks to meeting you, Mr. Chiba, that I was able to obtain what I desired so early. Otherwise, I don't know how many times I would have needed to reincarnate and how much time I would have spent pursuing immortality."

Tetsuya smiled and replied.

"Actually, I think that with Orochimaru's talent, even without my help, achieving immortality is not a difficult problem. It's just a matter of how long it takes. Moreover, I think that time will not be more than ten or twenty years longer than it is now."

It's worth noting that in Boruto, Orochimaru was already able to regenerate severed limbs in a second. This ability basically confirms that Orochimaru has broken free from the limitations of lifespan.

"Hehehe, Mr. Chiba, you really think highly of me."

"It's not that I think highly of you, I just admire your talent. I've known since you three were young that you, Orochimaru, are definitely the most outstanding of the three of you."

Looking back now, I'm sure I wasn't mistaken.

Tetsuya held up his finger and said.

"Look at the first one, Tsunade. Ever since the war ended, she has suffered from hemophobia. She said she couldn't participate in battles or treatment, so she left Konoha."

All these reasons are nonsense. Tsunade is a smart woman, and she had long seen that the higher-ups in Konoha had changed. However, she alone could not change anything, so the best choice was to turn a blind eye.

Now look at the second Jiraiya. Jiraiya's experience can also be described as being blessed by fate. He was once a bottom student, but by chance, he signed a contract with Mount Myōboku and got rid of his bottom student fate.

But he was too naive, so naive that he ran around everywhere for a parable, believing that as long as he found the chosen one in the prophecy, he could bring peace to the ninja world.

However, peace can never be brought about by finding some prophetic child; peace must be won through bloodshed and sacrifice.

Orochimaru remained silent as he listened to Tetsuya's words, but he felt that Tetsuya's words had struck a chord with him. He understood his two former teammates very well.

Tetsuya looked at Orochimaru and said.

"Among the three legendary ninja of Konoha, only you, Orochimaru, are the most down-to-earth, because from the beginning you knew what you wanted and what you wanted to do, and you also knew how to achieve your goals and were willing to pay any price for them."

But, similarly, you also have problems.

"Do I also have a problem? Please point it out to me, Mr. Chiba."

"Your problem is that you are too rational. Being too rational makes people feel that you lack humanity, and people who lack humanity will make others feel afraid."

"Excessive rationality? I think that for a scientist, this kind of questioning is actually an advantage."

"Hahaha, look, look, this is your problem. Because you, being rational, think this isn't a problem, but you need to know that most people in this ninja world are emotional."

Sometimes, some people will shout about bonds and friendship, then rush up and punch you, knocking you to the ground.

"But why did they punch me?"

"Perhaps they think what you're doing is inhumane."

Just as the two were chatting, Tetsuya suddenly widened his eyes.

"Interesting. Looks like a friend has come uninvited."

"Oh, is someone here?"

In the courtyard, a figure wrapped in bandages rolled into the yard and walked straight toward the villa.

"Hmph, Chiba Tetsuya, I don't care whether the person behind you is Uchiha Madara or not. Today, you will be branded by me and become my servant. Your trading company and your country will both become my possessions."

Danzo was full of confidence. He had already investigated and found that Chiba Tetsuya did not bring that mysterious bodyguard with him when he came to Konoha this time. Kakuzu, who used to follow him, was also not there. There was only a guy who looked like the Kirigakure Demon Zabuza, but that guy was the teacher leading the team from the Land of Grass this time, and he was not with Tetsuya.

It can only be said that this time, Danzo was determined to succeed.

"Chiba Tetsuya, I've come to find you!"

Suddenly pushing open the door, Danzo looked up and saw a pair of scarlet eyes, within which kaleidoscope patterns swirled.

"Hey, you treacherous Danzo, take this Strongest Appraisal Technique!"
