Starting with both hands, Orochimaru begs to be his disciple

Inside the ramen restaurant.

I feel panicked at this moment.

As a part-time journalist, he has an extremely keen grasp of information.

Jiraiya's words seemed casual.

But in front of him, the contributor, it seemed very deliberate.

He submitted the article to the newspaper secretly.

The newspaper also promised that it would never expose his information.

The two sides have been cooperating for a long time.

The Konoha newspaper shouldn't be so unreliable, right?

And over the years, he has submitted manuscripts.

Not to mention a high-quality product, but at least it’s a small hit.

What benefit would it bring to the newspaper if it sold his information?

Also, when he submitted his articles, he did so anonymously and was very cautious when accepting money.

There probably aren't many people who know it's him.

Who would be so shameless as to reveal his identity?

"This, should be true, right? After all, it's from the Konoha newspaper."

Analyzing rationally.

He typed "very naturally" and looked at the newspaper, and then his eyes lit up.

"Hey, who edits this newspaper?!"

"Who knows?"

Shaking his head, Jiraiya's gaze unconsciously turned to the hand.

"But I guess Danzo won't let go of the guy who provided the photos."

"You said it right, hand-fighting?"

His face turned pale and he was at a loss as to what to do.

However, the psychological quality of typing by hand is still acceptable.

Soon, he suppressed the panic in his heart, nodded and smiled:

"Isn't it?"

"And based on the newspaper's professional ethics, they should protect that reporter."

He forced a smile, waving his hands and looking a little evasive.

But in his mind, he had already started thinking about how to deal with it.

In fact.

This result was already anticipated.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Although the ramen restaurant makes a lot of money, he is going to be a father now, and his wedding with Takeda Hazuki will also cost a lot of money.

He is not a ninja, so he can only take the risk to earn money this time.

As for the consequences.

I did make a lot of money, but it was also a real headache.

Let's go find the Nara clan as soon as possible.

After all, he is the boss. It is unacceptable not to protect his employees.

In front of the dining table.

Drink the last sip of soup.

Jiraiya patted his belly contentedly, put down the money, stood up and nodded.

"That's right, I'm full now, I'm leaving!"

I typed it by hand without asking for my own help.

Jiraiya wasn't surprised at all.

Although his purpose was to use this incident to build a good relationship with Shouda.

He then asked Tsuna if he had any evidence against him and Tsunade that day.

But he is not the kind of person who is shameless.

Since Shouda is unwilling to ask for help, then I will protect this good friend in secret.

As for whether there is any evidence, we will have to wait and see.

……

Time passed, and the next day came.

Walking on the streets.

Danzo always felt that the way the villagers looked at him was very strange.

It was completely different from the fearful looks he had received when he passed by in the past.

This left him very confused.

Danzo knew that his reputation in the village was not very good.

But why did he feel so uncomfortable today?

"Go check for any information related to me in the village."

He waved to a guard behind him.

Danzo licked his newly installed gold tooth.

After all, gold teeth are more comfortable. Dentures made of other materials always cause him toothache.

The only drawback is that it is too expensive.

Ugh.

Since promising Tsunade, she has one million free chips for every gambling.

His own casino didn't make much money from Tsunade.

I have to find a way to trick Tsunade.

By the way, the dealer Ayaka Aburame has been missing for over a month.

Why haven’t you found it yet?

Frowning, Danzo looked behind him.

"Sir, please take a look at this."

The masked ninja respectfully handed a newspaper to Danzo.

Ok?

Surprised at the speed of his subordinates.

moment.

Danzo Shimura's attention was drawn to the cover of Konoha Monthly.

However, looking at the above.

The muscles on Danzo's cheeks trembled continuously.

The corners of his mouth began to twitch crazily.

Squint.

tear-

The next second, Danzo violently tore the newspaper in his hand.

The group hid in front.

The subordinate who came back with the newspaper couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Of course he had read the contents of the newspaper.

Although Lord Danzo's voice is still effeminate now, it should be pretty much the same.

But it’s not necessary to put it in the newspaper for fun, right?

Did the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi families really disregard the consequences?

"I'm so angry that I'll just say it's true!"

"Tsk tsk, that voice just now really sounded like a woman!"

"Pfft, hey, let me laugh for a while."

……

The occasional laughter in his ears made Danzo's face turn green and blue.

He tore the newspaper in his hand into pieces.

He almost roared out:

"Shut the fuck up, ugh! Shut the fuck up!"

The canthus of the eyes is about to split.

Almost instantly, Danzo rushed towards the Nara clan.

He naturally knew who the [main] person in charge of the Konoha newspaper was.

As for these ordinary villagers, he has no time to pay attention to them now.

Reputation can be bad.

But it must not be roaming around!

The position of Hokage is nominated by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The Daimyo will never allow an incomplete person to become the Hokage of Konoha!

How dare the Nara clan?

He actually wanted to block his path to becoming Hokage!

He is unable to deal with the Senju clan now.

But the Nara clan should not think that Danzo is a soft persimmon!

……

The ancestral home of the Nara clan.

In the conference room.

Nara Shikaku, the current clan leader, played chess with his third uncle after a long time.

Looking at his third uncle.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

The Ino, Deer, and Chou families manage the Konoha newspaper company.

Among them, the Nara clan, as a think tank, is responsible for reviewing the content of each issue of the newspaper.

The newspaper is for the villagers to read, and also for the outside world to read.

The content should not reveal the village's secrets, but should also demonstrate Konoha's military power in subtle ways.

It is both laborious and brain-consuming.

So, after seeing the hand-typed submission, he almost rejected it on the spot.

You can keep the things, but the content must not be sent out!

however.

Just the day before yesterday, I didn’t know what my third uncle was thinking.

The newspaper actually put that article, which seemed to be complete nonsense, on the front page of this monthly report.

Isn't this a grave offense to Danzo?

Even he could see Danzo's ambition.

Although in his opinion, Danzo's dream of becoming Hokage was wishful thinking.

But we have to give Danzo some thought, right?

What's the big deal now?

"Third Uncle, you..."

Just as he was about to ask, he was greeted with a scolding from Nara Shikajo.

"Don't talk, just play chess and don't be distracted."

Then Nara Shikajo pushed a chess piece forward.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

However, Nara Shikajo's gaze seemed very steady.

He naturally also knew Shimura Danzo's ambition.

In fact, the older generation in the village can all see it.

But on the surface, he is under pressure from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Secretly, there are checks and balances among the various families.

This is a difficult thing!

Even before, Danzo Shimura had demonstrated the strength of the Shimura clan.

It is not easy to achieve this step.

The waters of Konoha are deep.

It is not possible to change a dynasty by exposing one's strength once.

If that were possible, the third Hokage would be from the Uchiha clan.

As for why he did this.

After all, it was all for the sake of making friends with the Senju clan.

Through Katsuhiko Yamanaka, he already knew about the conflict between Danzo and Tsunade.

Completely cutting off Danzo's idea of ​​becoming Hokage is a great thing for the Senju clan.

He could also take this opportunity to ask Tsunade to help him regain his youth as soon as possible.

That's right.

clang-

The sound of the wooden door being smashed really dazed him.
