Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 79: Training Maniac

"Oh, by the way, Lord Danzo..."

"On my way here, I encountered four interesting fellows."

"They don't seem too keen on me completing the mission and coming back alive... I wonder if you recognize them?"

Exiting the Hokage's office, when Yu reached the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turning back to look at Danzo with interest.

"Hmph, irrelevant... I have no idea what you're talking about."

Seeing Yu bringing up this matter in front of Lord Third and two other Elders in the office, Danzo squinted slightly, but his expression gave nothing away.

Truly a cunning old fox... Keep pretending, continue your damn act.

Looking at the deeply scheming Danzo in front of him, Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Oh? It seems Lord Danzo doesn't recognize them..."

"That's a pity... because I've already sent all four of them to meet their end."

However, seeing Danzo outright deny it, Yu paid no mind and intentionally put on a look of regret, disgustingly facing him.

In reality, Danzo held substantial power in Konoha, second only to the Hokage, and was a Elder with real authority. Moreover, he was a former teammate of Lord Third and two other Hokage advisors during their youth. Danzo also had his independent organization called 'Root' under him.

Although Yu had undergone a significant leap in strength, he was still too young and lacked sufficient experience. Moreover, he hadn't accumulated any military achievements, making the vast difference in status and position between him and Danzo apparent.

Yu planned to wait until he firmly established himself in Konoha. At that point, it wouldn't be too late to crush this old fox underfoot.

As for the purpose behind Danzo sending someone to assassinate him this time, even without asking, Yu could guess it.

Compared to Suna's defeat and surrender, aligning with Konoha, Danzo, as a pro-war faction, clearly preferred to maintain a chaotic state in the ninja world. This way, he would have the opportunity to weaken the power of the Hokage faction, seizing the chance to ascend to the position of Hokage.

It was precisely because Yu had discerned Danzo's intentions that he felt even more disdain for the actions of this old man.

"What a load of nonsense about protecting Konoha," Yu saw through his true nature at a glance.

In the original story, Danzo, who secretly contributed to wiping out the entire Uchiha clan to obtain their Sharingan, was that also for Konoha's sake?

Where was he during the Nine-Tails invasion?

Where was he when the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sacrificed himself?

And where was he when Pain, with the power of the Six Paths, single-handedly attacked Konoha?

These indelible stains, even characters like Nagato and Uchiha Obito could be whitewashed, but for some reason, Danzo was the one who remained unable to be cleansed.

"Hmph..."

Sure enough, after hearing Yu's words, Danzo let out a cold snort. He didn't immediately erupt, but the gaze from his exposed left eye became even colder.

Although there would be no emotional response to the sacrifice of a mere Genin, the elite ninjas he had just sent out were from the Root organization. Unexpectedly, Yu's strength had already reached the point where he could kill them all. Even Danzo couldn't help but feel a twinge of discomfort.
