Rinnegan at the Start - Chapter 18
Chapter 018 What Is Danzo?
Uchiha Fugaku did what he said and immediately greeted the Konoha Guard. Guard member Uchiha Ryujin did not have to go to work for the next few days.
Ryujin naturally wouldn’t refuse such a benefit. Not having to go to work was perfect, so he could devote all his time to physical training.
Although Ryujin is not afraid of the subsequent troubles now, he does not want to refuse the kindness of the clan leader.
Secondly, the matter is still a hot topic, and Ryujin doesn’t want to be pointed at by everyone as soon as he goes out.
He stayed in the Uchiha tribe’s territory for a whole week in a very low-key manner.
Only then did I go to the training ground to train again.
There is no way. The Uchiha clan does not attach importance to physical skills at all, and there is no training ground specifically for physical skills training in the clan territory.
If you want to train your physical skills properly, you still have to come to the village training ground.
“Ryujin, you’re finally released!” Might Guy, who was sweating profusely, stopped his exhilarating pounding.
He excitedly greeted Ryujin.
“Can you speak? What do you mean by released? It’s like I was locked up in a prison.” Ryujin glared at this guy speechlessly.
“Haha, I’m glad you’re okay! But you’re really brave. You even dared to hit Asuma. I was worried about you for a few days.”
Might Guy said this with a bit of admiration, and at the same time with a strong sense of self-mockery, and felt a bit sad.
Now he is laughed at by everyone in Konoha and bullied every day, but Might Guy can only accept it and dare not fight back or resist at all.
Not only that, even Might Guy’s father, Might Dai, is a well-known good-for-nothing Genin in Konoha.
Like him, he suffered from bullying and contempt.
These two men lived a very miserable life.
Not to mention being the Hokage’s son, Might Guy wouldn’t even dare to fight back against ordinary ninjas.
Therefore, Ryujin’s “feat” of beating Asuma was quite stimulating to Might Guy.
“Are you still worried about me? Don’t worry, Asuma was the first to attack. I was just defending myself. The village won’t do anything to me.”
Ryujin said nonchalantly.
“That’s true… But Ryujin, I heard you used taijutsu to defeat Asuma. Asuma is now especially Jōnin. Are your taijutsu skills that powerful?”
Might Guy said sourly, looking quite shocked.
Unlike Ryujin who would come over for three hours of training after work every day, Might Guy put all his efforts into physical skills.
But who would have thought that even so, his physical skills were far behind Ryujin.
Currently, he was still at the level of a Genin, and in a real fight, he couldn’t even defeat a Genin, let alone a Special Jōnin.
Even a Chūnin could easily ravage Might Guy.
“Guy, don’t underestimate yourself. You’re going to be a great ninja!”
Ryujin patted Might Guy’s shoulder and looked into his eyes seriously.
Might Guy was stunned.
He has always been treated as waste and trash by others, and no one has ever affirmed him so much, or even praised him as a genius.
However, Might Guy could feel that Ryujin was not teasing him, but was sincere.
Might Guy’s heart couldn’t help but be touched.
“You are actually a genius!” Ryujin said meaningfully.
“Genius… What kind of genius am I?” Might Guy said somewhat dejectedly and self-deprecatingly.
“You’re a hardworking genius! Guy, don’t you realize? You possess a quality that no other ninja possesses: a will of steel!”
“For every time others practice once, you can practice ten times! This kind of iron will is enough to make up for the lack of talent in cultivation!”
“Guy, believe me, your future achievements will definitely be better than Asuma’s!”
“Hey, hey, hey… Why are you crying, man? And you’re even sneezing. Aren’t you disgusting?”
Might Guy sobbed. “Ryujin, no one has ever said this to me before, and no one has ever thought so highly of me before!”
“Alright, alright, hurry up and train. If Hong sees us, she’ll think I did something to you.” Ryujin waved at Might Guy with a look of disgust.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Huff, huff, huff!”
The two began to train vigorously.
After three hours of youthful sweat, Ryujin said goodbye to Might Guy and went home as usual.
Oink!
However, when passing through an empty path, two ninjas suddenly appeared and blocked Ryujin’s way.
They had masks on their faces, and they were either from the Root or Anbu.
However, Ryujin guessed that it was more likely someone from the Root. After all, the Third Generation member and Danzo had always been working together to rule Konoha, one openly and the other secretly.
The Third Generation does the bright and open things, while Danzo does the dark and shameful things.
To attack Uchiha so openly is obviously not the style of Third Generation, but is more in line with the methods of that old man Danzo.
“Uchiha Ryujin，Danzo大人有请。”
One of the pig-faced masked ninjas said to Ryujin expressionlessly.
——Ryujin guessed correctly, the person who came was indeed from the Root.
“Go back and tell Danzo that Laozi doesn’t want to go! Don’t bother Laozi in the future!” Ryujin said coldly.
In Konoha’s system, Root actually belongs to Anbu. Of course, this is only in terms of the system. In fact, Root is completely Danzo’s private organization.
And because the Root’s methods are cruel and dark, people fear the Root much more than they fear the Anbu.
But that was just an ordinary person, Ryujin didn’t take the roots seriously at all.
After all, the strength is there.
What’s more, in terms of organization, the Root is actually just an Anbu training unit, which is used to train special tactical teams for Anbu!
All other activities of the root except training are illegal!
Theoretically speaking, no one can ignore the actions of the Roots, and can even go to the Third Generation to sue Danzo for abusing his power and conducting illegal armed actions.
Of course, no one dares to do such a thing. If you dare to disrespect the Root, the Root will definitely kill you immediately, and Sarutobi Hiruzen will just pretend not to see it.
After all, all the actions of the Roots were tacitly approved by the Third Generation, and all the rights of the Roots were also given by the Third Generation.
But Ryujin dared to do it!
“How dare you disobey Lord Danzo’s orders?”
Shocked and angry voices rang out, and the two root team members could hardly believe their ears.
The Root has always had the final say in Konoha. Who dares to disobey an order?
But this teenager actually doesn’t care about his roots at all.
“That’s funny. The Hokage has the right to order me around. The captain of the Konoha Guard has the right to order me around. What right does Danzo have to order me around? Who the hell is he?”
Ryujin said with a sneer of disdain.
