Naruto: Training Disciples for 10000-Fold Returns.

　　Downstairs from the Hokage, Kakashi announced:

- "Dismissed!"

　　Naruto cheered:

- "Yeah, we can finally go have breakfast."

- "I'm going to eat Ichiraku Ramen. Sakura, Sasuke, do you want to join me? Kakashi-sensei is treating me."

　　Kakashi:

- "..."

- "When did I say I want a treat?"

　　Kakashi:

- "Well, I have something else to do, so let's take a step first."

He immediately disappeared with his [Body Flicker Technique], leaving only a few leaves blown up by the wind, swaying in the air.

　　Naruto curled his lips and said:

- "Tsk, you are a stingy guy, Just say you don't want to buy ramen."

　　At this moment, Mizuki's voice sounded from the side:

- "Naruto, I haven't had breakfast either. If you want to eat ramen, I'll treat you."

- "Really? Sensei, you are so generous. I want to eat three bowls."

　　Shuimu smiled and said:

- "Okay, three bowls are all yours."

- "Sakura and Sasuke, are you together?"

　　Sakura said hurriedly:

- "I'm sorry, I lost weight recently and skipped breakfast."

　　She politely refused, but in her heart she thought:

- Naruto called him Sensei, and he must have invented the [Seduction Technique] and taught it to Naruto. This kind of person is definitely not serious. If he treats guests, you must not go.

　　Sasuke:

- "I'm going, I just have something to ask you about training."

　　Sakura was startled and asked:

- "Sasuke-kun, did you ask him...Mizuki-Sensei for training?"

　　Sasuke said:

- "Yes, just like Naruto, I am also his disciple. Is it strange for a disciple to ask questions from his Sensei?"

　　Sakura's eyes widened:

- "You, you are also his disciple? Doesn't that mean that you also learned... learned..."

　　What she learned was hard for her to talk about.

　　Mizuki could tell that Sakura seemed to have something against him.

　　But it doesn't matter.

　　Mizuki:

- "Naruto and Sasuke are both coming, so Sakura, please come too. Eating breakfast will not affect your weight loss."

　　Sakura just wanted to be with Sasuke, so of course she wanted to go if Sasuke went.

　　So Sakura immediately said:

- "Both of them are going, and of course I will go too. After all, we are classmates and we should advance and retreat together. But I won't eat ramen. I need to persist in losing weight."

　　Mizuki waved his hand and said:

- "Okay, let's go!"

　　Hokage's office.

　　Sandaime stood behind the window, looking a little gloomy as he watched Mizuki walk away with the three brats from Team 7.

　　Third Hokage:

- "He has noticed that I am dealing with him and is very careful not to miss any loopholes."

- "As Hokage, you must act within the rules. If he doesn't make mistakes, I can't do anything to him."

- "It seems that ordinary means cannot deal with him."

　　Sandaime left the Hokage Tower and came to a sewer entrance. After entering, he made many twists and turns.

　　In the darkness, his footsteps were particularly clear.

　　Finally, he came to an underground space filled with water pipes.

　　Here is where the ROOT's base is.

　　Danzo Shimura has been waiting for a long time.

　　Danzo said calmly, leaning on his crutches:

- "Hiruzen, it's been a long time since you came to my place. It's a rare day today."

　　Third Hokage didn't talk nonsense and said:

- "The Assistant Instructor of the ninja school, Chunin Mizuki, is suspected of killing his companions and has a tendency to rebel. Send someone to deal with it."

　　Danzo glanced at Sandaime twice and asked curiously:

- "There are many people in the village who are suspected of being rebellious, but you have always been indecisive and will never act rashly without evidence."

- "This time you came to me for this Mizuki. This is not your style."

- "So, what's so special about this Mizuki?"

　　Third Hokage snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with Danzo's suspicion, but in the end he still opened his mouth to explain:

- "Mizuki got close to Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke."

- "I have taken action against him, but he has resolved them all."

　　Danzo's eyes hardened, his voice became cold, and he said:

- "Hiruzen, you are too conniving. A person with a tendency to rebel approaches the Jinchuuriki. Why didn't you come to me earlier?"

- "Don't you know the importance of the Jinchuuriki?"

- "This village is not yours alone."

　　Third Hokage said expressionlessly:

- "It's not too late."

　　After saying that, he turned around and left.

　　Danzo looked at the back of Sandaime and said:

- "After we deal with Mizuki, we must send the Jinchuriki and that brat from the Uchiha clan to the ROOT's."

- "They have probably been influenced by Mizuki and have seeds of disloyalty to Konoha planted in their hearts. Only I can train them into tools that are absolutely loyal to Konoha."

　　Sandaime paused, but did not look back.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Danzo, it's not your turn to make the decision regarding the jinchuriki. And Sasuke, it's the village's debt to Itachi."

- "The ROOT's training methods are never allowed to be used on them."

　　Danzo said loudly:

- "Hiruzen, you must listen to me this time."

　　Sandaime continued to walk away without answering. It was obvious that he did not agree.

　　Danzo said angrily:

- "Hiruzen, you will regret it."

　　Third Hokage stamped his feet again, then turned around and said coldly:

- "Danzo, you must remember that I am the Hokage."

　　As soon as the words fell, Sandaime drifted apart and soon disappeared.

　　After Sandaime walked away, Danzo's distorted face returned to calm, and his eyes returned to indifference.

　　He gently raised his crutch, and when he landed, a Root-ninja wearing a complex patterned mask appeared in front of him, kneeling on one knee in front of him.

　　Danzo:

- "Ninja school assistant instructor, Chunin Mizuki, get the information."

　　Root-ninja:

- "Yes, Lord Danzo!"
