Chapter 29

Two days after the tragic event, the Hokage's residence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wearily leaned back in his chair. It was a stressful time. Yes, there are so many things to do, settle, calm the heads of clans, and provide the ransom Uchiha, showing concern for the victims ... The third really wanted to drop everything now and go on missions ... rank D! Oh, yes, no intrigue, murder, hypocrisy - just weed the garden. And why are genins so complaining about these assignments? This is paradise!

But the greatest headache was given to him by the jinchurriki, both by the very fact of intercession ... well, by the way everything coincided, and what coincided, Hiruzen could see perfectly well. No, well, it was necessary for them all to collide so unsuccessfully in the park? So also by the fact that he decided to gush out the Fox's chakra! He only knew how difficult it was to cover him without anyone noticing!

Hiruzen shuddered all over, imagining for a moment what would happen if someone other than the grateful Uchiha noticed this. Yes, what a storm the heads of the clans would have arranged, he could not even fully comprehend, but this had already become the subject of his nightmares for a good two days! But the demands of his old friends, and now the elders, he quite imagined. And he really didn't like it.

As well as the fact that someone was helping him strenuously to cover Naruto, while remaining unnoticed. And only looking at the whole picture as a whole, Hiruzen could notice that his Anbu were working with someone almost side by side. However, he knew only one such person, yes.

At the same time, underground.

Danz was very tired, and literally dreamed of two things, a healthy ten hour sleep and going on a mission to relax ... oh yes, a D-rank mission! Hmm, it seems that the second Hokage's relaxation method sunk deeply into the soul of his student, as did the break in the template when everyone understood what Tobirama was doing. Danz even imagined for a moment how the clan leaders would see him on a mission to weed the beds.

Quiet laughter filled the study. Yes, it would be a great joke, however, the last one, because after such an act he would definitely be sent to rest, like an old senile.

And Danz really wanted to strangle one jinchurriki ... gently, loving, but strangling! Oh, how much this red-haired devil has caused him problems! And not so much by the very fact of breaking off the magnificent plan to undermine the power of the Uchiha, but after sending the remnants of the clan into debt. Yes, the experimental influences on Itachi did not justify themselves, but the effect came out in the limit of expectations, he really leaked his roof and rushed to cut out the clan. And somewhere in the middle of this action, he, Danz, the people would appear and save the remnants of the clan, putting them in the position of debtors. But no, at first the jinchurriki shit big on his ideal plan, and then some one-eyed psychopath finally mixes his plan with humus, appearing from the side where the rescue squad was, first slapping those, and then staging a massacre.

But it was still possible to come to terms with this, and launch other combinations into action. I just had to send some of the employees to hide and mash the traces of the Kyuubi chakra ... in the center of the village. No, Danz was even somewhat pleased that the village's weapons at this age were already capable of manipulating the Fox's chakra, the boy's value increased many times over! And the last Uzumaki even seemed to remain in a sane state in that mode, which was absolutely wonderful. But how wrong it was! And how many headaches Danzo brought. However, Shimura was amused by the fact that along with him, for some reason, Hiruzen tried to cover everything up. And they both knew that the opponent knew everything, but with tacit consent they did not raise this topic. Not now.

Yes, and the actions of this Tsuru ... no, it is commendable that now she has an anchor in the form of a child, and therefore a lever of pressure, but to hack to death your colleagues, and indeed, to make Danzo a villain? It was unpleasant, if not fatal. Especially for the reputation of Shimura himself - he is always portrayed as a villain. Pathetic idiots! Why almost no one wants to understand that he is doing everything, absolutely everything for the good of his village?!? Shortsighted idiots.

Danz rubbed his temples wearily. And yet, can you take a mission of rank D, only further from the village? At least some, but a change of activity.

Yes, and the Uchiha distinguished themselves, at the moment when everyone, who was not too lazy, focused on them, "flirting with the jinchurriki" in front of everyone. Heh, for sure Inoichi and Shikaku have their heads cracking from such a feint of red-eyed right now.

Speaking of red-eyed people, the percentage of Sharingan detection in this clan, for the first time in a long time, has reached almost a hundred percent! This is really strengthening the village. Get rid of the trash and leave only the combat component of the clan. Even if the majority, at best, have only one tomoe, and can go on with it until the end of their lives, but in the event of an attack on the village, they will make their contribution, and not a small one.

A little later, outside of political intrigue.

So, this means that the Strongman of the first degree increases the rate of pumping power by 10%, but the hardy of the first degree does the same with the endurance, plus reducing its consumption. Wonderful.

What about Hitomi and me? Just now I got to that event in front of the gates of the Uchih clan.

Hmm, a bonus to reputation and acceptance for what it is? Well, I would not call it that, rather, a simple precaution and a decent amount of gratitude on my part. But the "awakening of kindred feelings" on her part was worth it. True, it seems to me that this awakening happened a long time ago. Or did she not realize this before? Or did she just portray? No, it was simply unrealistic to portray that way, so more likely there she had an awareness and prioritization. Can I trust her now? Oh, how I want to say "yes", who would have known. I have very few people in this world whom I can really trust. Kiba da Shikamaru, with their level of reputation with me, and everything seems to be. Well, it seems like Sasuke and Itachi after the recent events, but the last, such a bastard, dumped out of the village.

Twitching a little harder, I caused disgruntled murmurs from both sides. Looking sideways at Saya and Ayu, I only sighed sadly. How did it happen?

No, nothing like that, just their mother had to deal very closely with the analysis of documents "and flights" in the head's house, the girls did not trust their relatives, and they did not want to stay with the clan nannies in the same house - both were too deeply impressed by the image of their cousin attacking them. But both of them expressed great confidence in me. So now both persons are just sleeping on my bed, holding me on both sides. But the bed is so wide, but no, they themselves crawled in a dream. Well, on the other hand, the same 10% event was closed that separated me from getting a third heart from both. Uh-huh, a nice top-view screen of the bed is attached. Feel like a dakimakura (full-length Japanese pillow).

Actually, in order to distract myself a little, I decided to dig deeper into the system.

Heh, Hitomi darned my red suit. Yeah, exactly red ... when I saw him in the window of a clothing store, I realized that it was she - love at first sight! And why don't other people appreciate him so much? Durable, comfortable, reliable, it is neither cold nor hot, and most importantly - ginger!

+150 reputation with Kyuubi no Yoko for matching tastes.

… suddenly. Still, this rug with fur itself responded or something, otherwise since then it has not shown itself at all, and I do not know how to get to it. So on this front I have silence.

Well, okay, it will work out by itself, I already have enough things to do. On this thought, I somehow imperceptibly ... fell asleep.
