Because they had previously united the entire village to research Hashirama cells in order to regain a Wood Style ninja, both of them had joined forces.
However, many ninjas died during the experiments, and Hiruzen had to stop the project.
Of course, he also knew that Danzo was secretly researching in the shadows, but as long as it didn't become public knowledge, it was fine.
But the fact that Danzo had clearly cultivated a successful Wood Style ninja and quietly hidden him in Root for his own use was obviously unacceptable.
Although Hiruzen had heard some rumors before, he never had a good opportunity to ask for the person.
Now that Kakashi had brought Yamato here, he could take this opportunity to take the child from Danzo.
"I didn't hide him, I just thought there was no need to report."
Danzo knew that at this point, there was basically no hope of getting Yamato back, so he could only try to exonerate himself.
As long as he found an excuse to get past it, Hiruzen would just make a show of it.
Even if Kakashi was stronger, wouldn't Yamato and Iwa be enough to deal with him?!
Yamato was now captured by Kakashi and brought to Hiruzen, and there was no news of Iwa's return.
What's going on?!
"The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki is already four years old, and the Wood Style sealing jutsu is becoming increasingly important to the village."
"So, can you hand him over to me?"
"I want to assign him to the Anbu directly under the Hokage."
This was clearly taking the flag from his hands, and Danzo opened his mouth to say something.
Hiruzen then softened his tone, making it sound like a request.
"Please, Danzo."
[Shixie: Might as well say UWU Danzo san]
"He might be a good subordinate, but for the sake of Konohagakure, transfer him from Root."
"If you do that, I can let everything go."
The last sentence was basically the final blow to Danzo. If this matter was investigated, the things he had done with Orochimaru wouldn't be able to be covered up.
The person he had worked so hard to find and cultivate was now being snatched away by Hiruzen.
Now it was a situation where he was surrounded by people, Root members, Anbu members, and he couldn't directly refuse.
Danzo was in a dilemma, he had a bitter taste in his mouth, and he could only agree, letting Hiruzen take Yamato away.
When Kakashi came out of the medical team, he saw Danzo, with a gloomy expression, walking out of the Hokage's office.
Danzo, leaning on his cane, glared at him as he passed by.
Kakashi walked past, ignoring him.
Hiruzen stood at the door and beckoned Kakashi.
"Take this child to your brother, I remember he's a teacher at the civilian school."
"Yamato just came out of Root, and Danzo wouldn't teach him any common sense."
"Let him follow your brother to learn for a while."
.....
"So, that's how it is."
"Yamato, that's his code name in Root, now he's called Tenzo."
If it weren't for the Hokage's orders that couldn't be disobeyed, Kakashi wouldn't have agreed to this.
Kakashi's forehead protector was tied around his neck, and he stood at the door with a cold expression. Tenzo was standing beside Kakashi, looking restrained.
He was also carrying a bag of sweets.
Hatake Kuroshi was wearing his blindfold, with a white towel draped over his shoulder.
His wet hair fell down obediently, scattered over his forehead.
Compared to his usual frivolous and arrogant appearance, he looked quite docile now.
He also had a scent of shampoo on him.
"You want me to teach him common sense? And he has to live here for half a month?"
Kuroshi repeated it with a strange expression.
Of course, it wasn't a problem to guide Tenzo, or to have him live in the Hatake mansion for half a month.
But why specifically teach him common sense?
Kuroshi vaguely remembered that in the anime, Tenzo followed Kakashi into the Anbu, why was he assigned to me?
Seeing Kuroshi hesitate, Tenzo quickly raised the fragrant bag in his hand.
"Ah, hello, Kuroshi-nii."
"This is a gift Kakashi-san asked me to prepare for you."
Even though the mask covered most of his face, Kuroshi could see that Kakashi's expression instantly froze.
He even awkwardly turned his head to the side.
In just two sentences, Kuroshi completely understood why this person was assigned to him to learn common sense.
This guy is so oblivious!
He completely sold Kakashi out.
Although Tenzo was oblivious, he could also feel the temperature around Kakashi instantly drop a few degrees.
He looked around in confusion, not knowing what he had said to trigger Kakashi.
But what he said just now wasn't wrong, was it?
It was Kakashi-san who took him to buy sweets, and he said that as long as Kuroshi hesitated, he could take them out.
Looking at Kakashi's awkward expression, Kuroshi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He took the bag of sweets from Tenzo with one hand, and with the other, he flicked Kakashi's forehead.
"Come in, I'll teach you."
"I won't go in, I have other things to do."
Kakashi politely said, then silently closed the door.
Kakashi stood in front of the closed door, touched his forehead, looked hesitantly at the door, and turned to disappear into the night.
"Isn't this Kakashi-san's home?"
Tenzo looked hesitantly at Kakashi's closed door. Although Kakashi hadn't explicitly said that he would stay with him, wasn't this his home? Why did he have to leave?
"He's going to live in the Anbu dormitory, it's more convenient for him to carry out missions."
"And my relationship with him isn't very good."
Kuroshi put the sweets on the table and tapped on it, signaling Tenzo to come over.
Tenzo obediently knelt opposite Kuroshi, watching him rummage through the bag of sweets.
"Relationship… not good?"
In Tenzo's opinion, Kakashi was basically the epitome of a gentle and good companion, he couldn't imagine that he would have a bad relationship with anyone.
And Kuroshi didn't seem like someone who was hard to get along with.
How could two people like this have a bad relationship?
Kuroshi took out a red bean cake from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks bulging.
"Oh, I know what I need to teach you."
"Teaching you to read the air is a bit difficult, let's start with the fact that my relationship with Kakashi is bad."
…
Tenzo stayed at the Hatake house to learn and try, and occasionally, as an Anbu member, he went on missions with Kakashi's Team 6.
Time passed quickly.
But every time he teamed up with Tenzo, someone would come back and report to Kakashi about Tenzo's strange behavior.
Either he was suddenly overly enthusiastic towards them, or he would have some unexpected and bizarre behavior.
There was even one day when he suddenly gave his teammates 義理チョコレート (giri-choco, a gift chocolate given out of obligation), and they had no idea what he was doing.
Kakashi listened, his temples throbbing.
What the hell is that idiot brother teaching Tenzo?!
Kuroshi, who was being talked about, couldn't help but sneeze, and he rubbed his nose in confusion.
"The weather is so nice, who's secretly cursing me?"
Taking advantage of the fact that Tenzo didn't have any missions, Kuroshi took an emergency day off and resolutely took Tenzo out to see the world.
Did he want to come out and play? Of course not, he didn't have such worldly desires.
Tenzo looked curiously at the surrounding shopping street. He had always stayed in Root.
Life there was all about training and missions, and he had almost never been to a place like this.
"It hurts!"
As the two of them were examining the small trinkets in the shopping street, a scream came from behind.
Tenzo curiously leaned forward to look.
Several people wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan crest stood in the middle of the street, shouting at the person on the ground.
"Hey, we saw you, you stole money, right?!"
A man with a scratched face and shifty eyes was lying on the ground, with a half-open wallet under his hand.
The man was lying on the ground, groaning, and didn't answer them directly.
Seeing that the man on the ground wouldn't admit it, several Uchiha clan guards gathered around, questioning and beating the man on the ground.
Seeing this scene of violent robbery, several villagers passing by couldn't help but whisper.
"Look, it's the Uchiha clan again, I don't know why Lord Hokage entrusted them with such an important task as the guard force."
"It's so scary, let's go quickly."
"Mommy, I'm scared…"
"…"
Tenzo couldn't help but frown, and he tugged on Kuroshi's arm, who was about to pay for the cotton candy.
"Who are they?"
