Chapter 118 Taking Over as Anbu Captain
Hokage building, conference room.
"This is my decision. I appoint Kazama Ruri as the captain of Konoha Anbu. Do you have any opinions?"
The elderly Third Generation tapped his pipe, looked at the two advisors and Danzo, and spoke in a deep voice.
"I disagree!"
Kazama was not surprised at all that someone objected. How could a jerk like Danzo tolerate someone in a high position?
"Huruzen, I don't deny Kazama Ruri's ability, but he is still too young. He is only ten years old now, right? It is not a good thing for him to be in a high position at such a young age."
"Yes, Hiruzen, Kazama Ruri still has Wood Release. I think you should understand what Wood Release means. You actually put him in the Anbu."
"That's fine, after all, he can still hide Wood Release, but isn't he too young? Is his experience really enough to do the job?"
"I agree, Hiruzen. I understand that you want to train the young man to be independent as soon as possible, but aren't you too hasty? Kazama Ruri is still young, it won't be too late to wait for him to grow up."
"When the time comes, he can be trained as the next Hokage."
Feng Jian acted as if he didn't hear these words. He sat on the stool, saying nothing and not moving.
After all, he was indeed too young, and he believed that the third generation could handle it:
Unlike Nagata, the Third Hokage, who had been the Hokage for decades, had the final say in Konoha. People could do small things behind his back on small matters, but he still had the final say on big matters.
"This is the mission record of the Anbu of Kazama Ruri for the past year. You can take a look at it."
As he spoke, Sandai took out a document and handed it to the three of them.
"He has a 100% mission completion rate, and he completes every mission brilliantly. Whether it's assassination or intelligence, nothing can stump him. Since he's already strong enough, why can't he be appointed?"
"Although he is indeed young, how many people in Konoha can achieve what he has done?"
"I guess you have heard of the name 'Swift Swordsman'?"
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing why the Sandai suddenly asked this. They couldn't help but lower their heads and think about the information about this name in their minds. According to rumors, his height was -
and many more!
Mitomon Yan's pupils trembled, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Fengjian in shock, then looked at the Sandai:
"Huruzen, could the 'Wind Swordsman' be Kazama Ruri?"
Utatane Koharu also looked at the Third Hokage in shock. Although Danzo tried his best to remain calm, his slightly widened eyes also showed that he was not calm at the moment.
"Yes, that's him."
After getting the accurate answer, the three of them looked at Fengjian with complicated expressions.
"I didn't expect that your strength has reached this level. I'm afraid your current strength is no less than that of White Fang."
"'No one can survive the hands of the Gale Swordsman, unless he doesn't want to kill you', Hiruzen is right, your strength is enough, but I still doubt your experience. This is not against you, but I am responsible for Konoha."
"Kazama Ruri, since you are the 'Swift Wind Swordsman', let me ask you, why didn't you kill all the Yunyin support team? Don't tell me you can't do it. If you can kill 17 of the -man support team, you can kill them all!"
Danzo asked in a deep voice.
"Heh, our mission at the time was to recover the intelligence obtained by Yunyin, and we have already done that. In other words, the Yunyin support team has nothing to do with us anymore. I can kill them if I want to, and I won't kill them if I don't want to. Is that a problem?"
Kazama fiddled with his hair, not even glancing at Danzo.
"Heh, you didn't kill them. Moreover, you showed mercy to the enemies in many missions. You have to know that they were ninjas from the enemy country. Did you not kill them to promote your 'reputation'?"
"You have to know that every ninja you let go may throw a kunai at Konoha in the future!"
"Hiruzen, I don't think his personality is suitable for succeeding the captain of the Anbu. I think it is necessary to transfer him to the Root to learn for a while!"
Hearing this, Feng Jian couldn't help it anymore, and said to Danzo with a smile:
"I was transferred into the Root, and then you planted a spell on me, and then I became your dog? You put a curse on your own subordinates, Danzo, you have such a high position of authority? Is the Root yours or Hokage's?"
"You will put a curse on me and let me succeed you as the captain of the Anbu. Then the Anbu will also be yours?"
"You're still finding fault with my mission. The Anbu reports directly to the Hokage, so it's none of your business to ask about my mission!"
"Danzo, are you trying to usurp the throne?"
After these words were spoken, the meeting room fell silent.
The Third Hokage knew that Danzo wanted to be Hokage, and the two advisors knew it too, but knowing is one thing and saying it out loud is another.
"Well, don't get too excited. Danzo is questioning you for Konoha's sake. It's all for the village."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mizuto Menen started to smooth things over.
"So, what about the curse seal?"
Kazama glanced at Utane Koharu and said lightly.
"I'm doing this for Konoha. There are many secrets in the Root. If I don't place the curse seal, it will cause information leakage."
"Then why is it you who comes down and not the village?"
"I'm the head of the root."
"I am also an ANBU team leader. Can I also put a curse on my team members to prevent them from revealing my information?"
Both of them had expressionless faces and looked at each other with sharp eyes.
"Danzo, you are the person in charge of the Root, but the Root is the root of the village."
"When you have time, remove the curse on Gen, or hand over the method to remove it. Don't we have the right to interfere in Gen's affairs?"
The scene fell into silence again.
"Well, since we have handed the Root to Danzo, we should trust him. Danzo is not someone who will harm Konoha. The curse seal can also restrict the members of the Root."
Kazama looked at the third generation in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, it was the third generation old man who spoke in the end!
Kazama originally thought that this wave could force Danzo to gain control of the Root and reduce Danzo's influence on the Root, but he didn't expect it to be in vain.
However, after he saw the meaningful look in the Third Generation Old Man's eyes, he immediately understood what the Third Generation Old Man meant.
Kazama doesn't think that just a curse that prevents people from revealing his information would allow Danzo to control the Root so firmly!
If he remembered correctly, Danzo had used a seal that could restrict a person's movements on Hashira. If he was forced into this, would Danzo hand over the real method to remove the seal?
Recruit a root member for field trial?
Danzo has been in Konoha for so many years and he is determined to die just to hand over Konoha to the Hokage. How can he be killed?
If you can't kill it instantly, there will definitely be trouble.
As for the instant kill——
It is really impossible for Fengjian to kill a Kage-level strongman in seconds now.
If they conduct a test afterwards and find someone to try it out, no, is it possible that they can still force Danzo to surrender?
In that case, Danzo would definitely order an attack, and fighting would break out within Konoha.
Although he didn't know how many ninjas there were in the Root, he knew there were quite a few by looking at the reaction of the Third Generation.
At this critical juncture, if the people within the village fight each other, the other ninja villages will gain the upper hand.
After figuring it out, Fengjian looked at Danzo deeply:
Danzo, you are such a bastard!
"As for the appointment of Fengjian Liuli, I think we should give young people more opportunities to train. What do you think?"
