Root Base.
In the dimly lit secret meeting room, Danzō, wearing Naruto's bamboo hat and Naruto's robe, sat on the main seat in the meeting room. His expression was that of a superior.
On the other side of the triangular table sat Orochi Maru and Hyōjin, who was riding on his Fire Release Clone and dressed in the Fire Demon attire of Amatsukami.
This was the first secret meeting between the three of them after Danzō succeeded in becoming Muye's substitute Naruto.
At this time, Danzō stared at Orochi Maru with a cold gaze and asked in a dignified tone, "Orochi Maru, what's the deal with Nine Tails' Human Jinchuriki? What did you do to him? "
Although he did not personally attend the entrance ceremony yesterday, after becoming the substitute Naruto, everything that happened in the village could not escape Danzō's surveillance.
Unlike the others, Danzō did not take Naruto's claim that he had learned the mystical arts as a joke. Therefore, he questioned Orochi Maru the moment they met.
Hyōjin, who was wearing a flame-patterned mask, also looked at Orochi Maru. However, under the mask, his expression was very calm.
When he realized that Naruto might have learned the mystical arts when he was kidnapped by Orochi Maru, Hyōjin went to look for Hinata, who was kidnapped together with Naruto.
At first, Hinata did not want to reveal Naruto's secret.
However, the little girl could not withstand Hyōjin's persuasion. When Hyōjin took the initiative to mention the three words "Ryuchi Cave", she told him about their experience in the Ryuchi Cave with a surprised face.
When he learned that Naruto had really learned the mystical arts in the Ryuchi Cave, Hyōjin was also surprised.
Because both the time when Naruto practiced the mystical arts and the place where Naruto practiced the mystical arts were completely different from the original time and space. In the original time and space, Naruto learned the mystical arts when Payne attacked Muye. At that time, Naruto was already 16 or 17 years old, and he was practicing the mystical arts of Mount Myoboku.
While feeling surprised, Hyōjin gradually became vigilant.
This change showed that his influence on this space-time was getting more and more serious. It was very difficult for him to refer to the original space-time for what would happen in the future. Therefore, he could no longer limit his thinking with fixed ideas and affect his own judgment.
Facing Danzō's question, Orochi Maru just shrugged and said, "It was just a small accident."
"A small accident?!"
Danzō frowned and stared at Orochi Maru gloomily, waiting for his further explanation.
Orochi Maru glanced at Danzō.
There was no doubt that after becoming the substitute Naruto, Danzō's power had increased a lot, and the sense of oppression was also stronger than before. Even Orochi Maru could not completely ignore it.
After weighing the pros and cons, Orochi Maru explained half-truthfully, "In order to avoid the Akatsuki's pursuit, my men brought Naruto into a secret realm by mistake. In that secret realm, Naruto seemed to have encountered something."
"Secret realm?" Danzō narrowed his eyes and looked at Orochi Maru while asking, "Did Naruto really learn the Immortal Arts?"
All the previous questions were just for this one sentence. The only thing Danzō really cared about was whether Naruto really learned the Immortal Arts, and whether he could find the way to master the Immortal Arts from Naruto.
Orochi Maru smiled and looked at Danzō playfully.
Bang …
Danzō suddenly slammed the conference table and said angrily, "Orochi Maru, answer this old man's question!"
Hyōjin said calmly, "If Naruto really mastered the Immortal Arts, he would not have been defeated by Sasuke. Your question is unnecessary."
Orochi Maru glanced at Hyōjin and nodded, "If the Immortal Arts were so easy to practice, Jiraiya would not have to communicate with the two Toad Masters before entering the 'Sage Mode'."
Because of the several battles, Jiraiya could enter the 'Sage Mode', which was no longer a secret among the upper echelons of the Muye. Every time Jiraiya entered the 'Sage Mode', he must communicate with the two Toad Masters.
Danzō glanced coldly at Hyōjin and Orochi Maru, "You'd better not play tricks with this old man!"
Deep in his heart, Danzō did not actually believe that a young boy could master the Immortal Arts, but his personality of controlling everything made him used to meddling in everything.
Seeing that Danzō's suspicion was temporarily dispelled, Hyōjin and Orochi Maru looked at each other quietly, then withdrew their gazes.
Whether Naruto had learned the Immortal Arts or not, Hyōjin did not want Danzō to be distracted by other things at this time. He needed Danzō to be honest and be his lab rat, so he covered for Orochi Maru this time.
However, judging from Danzō's current performance, he succeeded in becoming the acting Naruto, which made him a little carried away.
At this time, Danzō said to Orochi Maru, "The recent dispute between the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan in the village, you should have heard about it, right? If this old man didn't guess wrong, that Hyōjin should be one of your people, right? "
Orochi Maru's face was gloomy and did not answer.
Hyōjin's eyes were cold, but fortunately, there was a mask to cover it, so no one noticed the slight change in his expression.
Danzō said leisurely, "Defeating eight members of the Uchiha Police Force at once, the strength of this Hyōjin is somewhat beyond this old man's expectation, and he also has the trust of the Hizen. Orochi Maru, I didn't expect you to have such a trump card hidden in the village!"
Orochi Maru said, "What do you want to say?"
Danzō glanced at Orochi Maru and said in a commanding tone, "Muye belongs to this old man, this old man will never allow the position of the Headmaster of the Ninja School to be in the hands of a spy, so tell your men to resign from the position of Headmaster!"
Hyōjin's face turned cold, he actually doesn't care about the position of the Headmaster of the Ninja School, but Danzō's arrogance made him a little disgusted.
Obviously, he is just an acting Naruto, and even his portrait hasn't been engraved on the Naruto Rock. At this time, instead of thinking about how to win over allies and consolidate his unstable position, he is eager to declare his power to his partners. This short-sighted behavior is simply stupid, and such an inflated mentality is even more disgusting.
Orochi Maru took a deep look at Danzō and immediately shook his head, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Hyōjin and I have no relationship for a long time, and I don't have the ability to order him to do anything."
"Orochi Maru, this is not a discussion, but an order!" Danzō held the Naruto hat on his head and said, "This old man will give you at most one month, no matter what method you use, I hope that after one month, Hyōjin's resignation report will appear on this old man's desk!"
