Chapter 232 Danzo: He just loves treating monkeys like...
Outside Konoha Village.
Hidden among the dense foliage of a large tree, a concealed figure stands.
Obito stood on a thick tree branch, watching Jiraiya and Tsunade's direction with an enigmatic smile on his lips. He quietly observed the departing figures of his targets, while his mind raced with calculations.
"The person from the dream has come to reality—but only for a day? That's too short!"
Obito narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't worried.
He has had many experiences in this dream world.
These experiences all prove one fact.
The influence of the dream world on reality is constantly expanding. Whether it is the number of people drawn into dreams or the area covered by dreams, all evidence indicates that the mysterious dream world is evolving and growing at an astonishing rate.
In Obito's view, it was only a matter of time before the people in his dreams came to life!
Thinking of this, a burning light flashed in his single eye, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
Some things
Perhaps it is possible to regain Obito through this dream world. He slowly stretched out his right hand, spreading his five fingers, as if trying to grasp some illusory phantom.
Suddenly, he clenched his fist, the burning passion in his eyes turning into a cold, resolute determination. He had waited far too long.
In a daze, the bloody scene from that rainy night several years ago resurfaced in his mind.
His most cherished girl lay in a pool of blood, her eyes wide open. Her once bright eyes gradually lost focus, and her smile was forever frozen on her face.
In that instant, Obito felt as if the whole world was collapsing.
An indescribable despair, anger, and pain overwhelmed him like a flood that had burst its banks.
Just as Obito was feeling agitated, a soft whooshing sound came from behind him.
"brush--"
The branch suddenly shook, startling several wild birds perched on it into flight.
Obito's pupils contracted, and his body instantly froze.
A familiar presence appeared behind me!
"Obito! It really was you!"
The familiar voices rang out almost at the same moment, their voices carrying complex emotions.
Obito's body trembled, but he quickly frowned, his eyes regaining their cold indifference.
He turned around abruptly and saw a silver-haired figure perched on a tree branch not far behind him.
The newcomer lifted his forehead guard high, revealing a scarlet Sharingan eye. The three tomoe in the eye spun rapidly as he stared intently at Obito.
Obito narrowed his one eye, his expression suddenly darkening: "What bad luck!"
He clicked his tongue, unwilling to get entangled with Kakashi.
A spiral vortex appeared out of nowhere and enveloped him completely.
In the blink of an eye, Obito's figure vanished without a trace before Kakashi's eyes!
The turbulent air currents swept down leaves, which swirled and drifted down through the air.
"etc-!"
"hateful!"
Kakashi watched helplessly as Obito slipped away from him once again, his fist clenching in resentment before quickly and helplessly relaxing.
For some time now, he has been diligently practicing the control of Kamui. With his increasing familiarity with the power of these Sharingan, he is now quite sensitive to the fluctuations of Kamui.
That's why he was able to keenly detect the faint spatial fluctuations left behind when Obito activated Kamui, and track them all the way here.
As it turned out, he was on the right track.
Obito didn't say a word and just left.
Kakashi slowly lowered his eyes, raised his hand and gently touched the scar on his left eye. The eye that once belonged to Obito was now lying quietly in his eye socket.
After a long while, Kakashi exhaled a long breath, and his gaze became resolute again.
He looked up into the depths of the dense forest, as if he could see that long-vanished figure through the layers of branches and leaves.
"Obito, one day I will catch up with you."
Kakashi made a silent vow in his heart.
After saying that, he took one last look at the bare treetop, then vanished into the shadows of the forest.
Time flies, and night falls.
Inside the dungeon of Konoha Village.
Danzo lay down on the bed with a heavy heart.
He was eager to know how Kakashi's dream was going, and how his scheme was progressing.
However, yesterday's dream, especially Uchiha Izuna's words, stirred up an uncontrollable wave in his heart.
I wonder if it will happen again tonight.
Danzo muttered something to himself and slowly closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, when Danzo opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely changed.
Konoha Village, training ground.
Under the sunlight, he heard heavy counting coming from not far away, clearly indicating that someone was doing their morning exercise earlier than him.
He still has the same physique and attire as when he was a teenager.
Danzo stretched his limbs slightly and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
A long-lost youthful vitality surged within him, and the feeling of power made Danzo squint his eyes in comfort.
His once aging and sluggish body became light and agile again, which both shocked and excited him.
Sure enough, here we go again!
He quickly calmed down and turned his attention to the training field.
At this moment, besides him, there were two other familiar figures on the training ground, which made Danzo unable to contain himself.
"mirror?"
Uchiha Kagami was sitting on a bench by the field, wiping the fine beads of sweat from his forehead while looking at the center of the field with great interest.
In the center of the training field, Hiruzen Sarutobi was gritting his teeth and persevering with his physical training.
He was shirtless, his youthful muscles already quite defined, and at this moment, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, yet he was still tirelessly doing push-ups.
Clearly, yesterday's crushing defeat did not deter him; on the contrary, it spurred him to devote himself even more desperately to cultivation.
Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's strained yet determined appearance and snorted disdainfully twice.
This kid... he won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!
Do you think you can catch up with me after just one day of hard training?
Danzo sneered inwardly and stepped into the training ground.
"Hey! Monkey, you're practicing really hard!"
Danzo crossed his arms and shouted playfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not far away.
"But just burying yourself in practice like this won't do any good. How about I practice with you again?"
As Danzo spoke, he moved his wrists and neck, making a cracking sound from his joints.
After the event, Danzo revealed a cruel smile: "I guarantee you'll benefit greatly!"
Upon hearing Danzo's voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled violently, nearly losing his balance and falling to the ground. He quickly got up, slowly turned around, and looked at Danzo, who was grinning at him not far away. He felt a dull ache in his chest again.
Although the trauma of being defeated by Danzo yesterday has healed, the oppressive feeling in my memory is still vivid.
His pupils contracted slightly, and he involuntarily took a half step back, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Danzo took in the whole scene, and a sense of indescribable satisfaction welled up in his heart.
Hiruzen Sarutobi actually showed such a weak and vulnerable demeanor in front of him!
It looks so tempting!
It's so tempting to play!
Danzo licked his dry lips, his excitement evident in his eyes.
He was still not satisfied last night, and now this monkey has obediently delivered itself to his door again. How can he not be eager to try it?
He smirked and slowly raised his fist, preparing to recreate yesterday's game.
It's so satisfying to bully this overconfident monkey!
[Ding! Danzo Shimura's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!!]
At the critical moment, a figure flashed out from the side and stood between Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Uchiha Kagami gave Danzo a reassuring smile and gently advised, "Danzo, we're all comrades, don't be like this. Hiruzen was just injured yesterday, let's let it go today."
Danzo narrowed his single eye and stared at Uchiha's mirror for a moment.
That guy, Jing.
Hmph, although he's an Uchiha, his personality is alright enough; he's one of the few Uchiha who isn't so annoying.
Danzo hesitated for a moment.
He withdrew his raised fist, glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and waved his hand dismissively: "Hmph! I can't be bothered with him."
in the audience.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three disciples also witnessed this scene.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, his beard trembling with rage, slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and roared, "That shameless old man Danzo! He's so old, yet he's still bullying teenagers all day long! Doesn't he have any shame? Is this fun?!"
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Orochimaru was as pleased as ever upon hearing this.
"I think Elder Danzo is enjoying himself."
He was right.
It's a pity that Danzo himself wasn't here, otherwise he would definitely have nodded and admitted it without hesitation!
Very interesting!
Bullying monkeys is the most interesting thing he's ever done in his life!
Hearing Orochimaru's response, Hiruzen Sarutobi became even more furious, his face turning red, his fists clenched tightly, and he remained silent.
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a silent glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
However, the two of them looked rather uninterested today, clearly not in high spirits.
Jiraiya couldn't help but secretly glance at Orochimaru again.
Orochimaru, however, remained with his arms crossed, looking indifferent and aloof, completely ignoring him.
Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but looking at Orochimaru's cold profile, the words that were about to come out of his mouth ultimately turned into a long sigh.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
He had already tried to explain to Orochimaru when he came in, but Orochimaru ignored his explanation.

on the screen.
Uchiha Kagami scratched his head, as if he wanted to say something more.
However, just then, a calm voice suddenly came from not far away: "They're all here."
Upon hearing this voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi shuddered, his tense nerves instantly relaxing.
He let out a long breath, a look of relief flashing in his eyes.
saved!
The three of them turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, Gu Chang's figure appeared at the edge of the training field.
The newcomer was tall and straight, his black clothes fluttering in the morning light, making him particularly eye-catching.
His brows exuded authority as he calmly surveyed the three people in the room.
It was Uchiha Izuna!
"Izuna-sensei!" Uchiha Kagami and Sarutobi Hiruzen almost instinctively straightened up and bowed respectfully to the man.
Danzo was a little hesitant and his expression was somewhat awkward, but when he thought of yesterday's speculation, his heart warmed.
He straightened his back and called out, "Izuna-sensei!"
Uchiha Izuna nodded slightly, and in a flash, he landed in the center of the arena, his gaze lingering briefly between Danzo and Hiruzen.
He naturally sensed the tension that had been building between the two of them, but he didn't point it out.
He simply stated, "Today's regular training is canceled. You're all getting on in years; it's time for you to see some real 'big scenes'."
"A big scene?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, and a look of curiosity involuntarily appeared on his face.
He instantly forgot about his previous unpleasantness.
He was only a boy in his early teens, and upon hearing that there was something exciting to see, his earlier displeasure was instantly forgotten. His face full of curiosity, he asked, "Izuna-sensei, what kind of grand event is it?"
Seeing Hiruzen's impatient demeanor, Danzo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
He seems so naive and impetuous!
Hmph, unlike Shimura Danzo, who can always remain calm and composed.
Uchiha Izuna smiled meaningfully and gave Danzo a meaningful look: "Come with me, all of you."
The three disciples quickly followed.
Danzo naturally noticed Uchiha Izuna's meaningful gaze.
The half-smiling look in Izuna-sensei's eyes made his heart race.
This feeling of being valued—
It's truly captivating.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and jogged to catch up with Izuna, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha.
Along the way, Danzo could feel the unusually heavy atmosphere in the village. The once bustling streets were now unusually deserted, with many shops closed and few pedestrians around.
Along the way, Hiruzen Sarutobi, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, whispered to Kagami Uchiha, "Kagami, what kind of grand scene do you think Izuna-sensei is going to show us?"
Uchiha Kagami blinked and replied in a similarly low voice, "I don't know, but judging from the teacher's tone, he must be very powerful."
Hiruzen Sarutobi swallowed hard, his dark eyes gleaming with excitement: "Could it be some important person arriving? Or is there some kind of important ceremony?"
"Stop guessing, stick close to the teacher." Uchiha Kagami interrupted his friend's speculation, his face showing both anticipation and nervousness.
Danzo, who was following behind them, overheard their whispers and simply chuckled dismissively.
Those two ignorant brats, look how excited they are!
A moment later, Uchiha Izuna arrived in front of the Hokage Building with three disciples.
Before even getting close, Danzo keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere permeating the air.
On the wide street in front of the Hokage Building, a group of people dressed in completely different clothes from the Konoha ninjas were gathered.
They stood in the center of the square, looking somewhat anxious.
Around them stood dozens of Konoha guards in neat formation.
All of them wore black uniforms with bright red fan-shaped clan emblems printed on the back—they were all Uchiha clan guard ninjas!
Seeing the fan logos everywhere, Danzo frowned slightly and unconsciously slowed his pace.
To my surprise, so many Uchiha clan members gathered together.
He looked around and felt that the ubiquitous fan-shaped clan emblems were particularly glaring, making him feel vaguely uneasy.
Uchiha Izuna led them up the steps to the top of the main entrance of the Hokage Building, a spot overlooking the entire plaza.
From this vantage point, the entire square is laid out before you.
Danzo carefully scanned the area below and immediately recognized the origin of the group of ninjas in the center of the arena: "People from Iwagakure?"
This is an envoy from Iwagakure!
The two guys standing at the very front of the line were old acquaintances of Danzo.
One of them was tall and thin, his face wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of wary eyes, his aura deep and unfathomable—it was the current Tsuchikage, Wu.
The other person was young, short, with short gray-brown hair, and although his face was youthful, he had a large nose.
It was Onoki, the future Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.
Suddenly, a burly, bearded ninja leaped out from the Iwagakure delegation, his face flushed, and roared towards the Hokage Building, "What exactly does Konoha mean by this?!"
As soon as he spoke, the ninjas in the Iwagakure team began to question him all at once.
"That's right! Leaving our Iwagakure delegation here for so long, is this how you, the Land of Fire, treat your guests?!"
"We've been here so long, and not a single person has come out to greet us!"
"Isn't this a blatant disregard for Iwagakure?!"
These words were like a boulder thrown into calm water. The Uchiha guards, who had been standing solemnly on duty, suddenly became serious. They lowered their center of gravity and took a step forward, forming a subtle encirclement. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Several Uchiha guards even had their pupils shrink, and a faint red light emanated from them!
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha exchanged a glance, swallowed hard, and nervously looked at the composed Izuna Uchiha beside them.
Danzo narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint in them: "Hmph, Iwagakure is still as rude as ever!"
It seems that what Izuna-sensei meant by "big scene" was this sudden diplomatic incident.
