Chapter 83: Doing Homework
Title: Conversion with Danzo...
Looking at Danzo in front of me I am absolutely calm. I am stronger than I was in the fight against the Raikage and I could kill Danzo together with the seventy three root ninja that he has with him, at max three minutes … also I have shed off all of the stress that has been accumulating since all eleven years of my life in this world… always without a break… now that I have relaxed and again remembered why I wanted to become immortal in the first place… that was a goal I had in my last life… I now kind of understand myself much more… when I become immortal I know… I won't be satisfied with just that. I will want more and more… as soon as I get something I will want something else even more precious… that is my expression of human greed and will… never satisfied with what I have…
….
Anyway I sit on the chair in front of Danzo and I know that he won't appreciate any jokes or dull conversations so I immediately go to the point and say to him.
"I want some Hashirama cells. Can you find that for me…"
Danzo's eye just widens a little and he says calmly.
"What would such a thing be useful for… to you"
He didn't even ask how I know that he is in possession of Hashirama Cells. I just calmly calculate all of the risks and say the most appropriate response.
"It doesn't matter to you what I use them for… I know that as long as it doesn't hurt Konoha you won't care."
He looks at me with his emotionless eye… even though he acts cold like this I know that deep down Danzo wants to be acknowledged and appreciated for doing his duty to Konoha. I know that he feels inferior to Hiruzen… and I will use that against him…
He just looks at me coldly for a couple of seconds and says.
"Let's say that you are responsible with them and you somehow gain my trust… what does Konoha Village gain from it."
'Trying to figure me out aren't you'… then I just act like I am thinking of something and like I have finally come to a conclusion. I then calmly said to him…
"I promise you that in one year Konoha will have a wood style user…"
Danzo then looks at me a little surprised. After all... there hasn't been a wood style user since Hashirama Senju. Even his children and grandchildren haven't been any Wood Users.
Then after some quiet thinking Danzo sighs and says with a deadly calm voice.
"I will accept your offer… but… you will owe me a favor of my saying in the future."
YESSS checkmate… even though I am excited in my head... I just calmly look at him calmly, I frown a little and say.
"I will accept… if it's favour which won't go against my morals."
He just looks at me for a while… I could see him thinking hard on this… but he doesn't know that I have already won this game old man. Now I am just acting to not make him suspicious or anything like that… also I am definitely not going to keep any promise or do any favours if they don't suit my needs. I mean he could ruin my reputation by saying that I don't keep my word but then he would expose himself so that is a definite no no…
Actually after giving me the Hashirama Cells he just kind of became useless to me… should I kill him… nah he still has one final use before I take everything from him… also managing Root isn't something I am planning for at the moment.
Danzo after some time just stood his ground and said harshly.
"It's either this or no deal."
As soon as he said that his mood and posture kind of change… like he is getting ready for me to attack him. Danzo doesn't respect people who are 'weak' like Hiruzen… I guess he thinks that I am kind of like Hiruzen… he might not even keep his deals if he thinks like that… well that just won't do now...
I just… look at him and for the first time during this meeting I just…. smile.
"No need to be so on guard Danzo -san… I am after all only an eleven year old kid..."
Right after that I release a little bit of killing intent towards Danzo… as soon as I do so….
*fwosh*
Ten root ninja, they are around high chunin level, they appear all around me stabbing towards my vital areas with their tanto's as soon as they seem about to stab me...
*clank*
They meet an invisible barrier blocking all their tanto's. Fuinjutsu deals a lot with barrier jutsus… I know quite a bit of them… I just look at them and point my prosthetic arm at them. Then I just point my finger towards one of the root ninja and… suddenly it falls down… then all of the ten root ninja actually fall down and… die… with no injuries to their bodies…
Danzo sees them and doesn't say anything. I know he is panicking but he doesn't express it. Well barriers aren't made just to stop physical attacks. This is my modified barrier that stops a certain type of poison stored in my prosthetic arm from going over a certain radius and killing everyone around me. Then I just look at Danzo amusingly and say…
"Ok I accept the deal and… I will still owe you a favor…"
This action of mine is my warning to him… I am not Hiruzen… as soon as he steps out of line or does something… I will kill him… he won't know when or how… but he will die if he takes any action against me… then I stop all of the poison and suck it back into my prosthetic arm with the help of another seal… then I get up and start walking away while calmly telling him…
"I will expect one of your Root Ninja to deliver the package."
And then I walk outside. When I am outside of the worn down building I can't help but think to myself… Damn the ability of the zero tails to sense negative emotions is really useful...
(A/N: The MC is warning Danzo that if he wants to try something against him he better be sure he will succeed or he will be killed without him even knowing how. The MC now finally has the political power and real power to act like this. He is also using the Zero Tails power which is sealed in his prosthetic arm to read his emotions.)
