Chapter 41
The Root Organization moved quickly. As soon as Makoto reported, a Root ninja came to his yard quietly the next morning.
"This is Danzo-sama's order." The Root Organization ninja handed two scrolls to Makoto.
Makoto nodded and took the scrolls.
Makoto first opened the scroll assigning tasks.
As before, the root organization ninja didn't talk too much and left directly after the things were delivered.
Sensing the disappearance of the Root Organization ninja's aura, Makoto walked into the house and began to check the contents of the scroll.
It's pretty much the same as before. The first part is the PUA content, praising Makoto for completing the task very well and living up to the training of the organization. He should continue the good work and not slack of...
Makoto skipped till the main content. Danzo answered Makoto's question about whether he wanted to recruit Asuma into the root organization last time, that is, it was not necessary.
Danzo said that Makoto only needs to teach Asuma normally and become Asuma's important teacher, and there is no need to do other unnecessary things. He also told Makoto not to expose any abnormalities.
This answer was pretty much what Makoto expected.
Pulling Asuma into the root organization is like Danzo sitting in the Hokage's office.
Although Danzo's Root is not weak, their current strength depends entirely on absorbing nutrients from the ANBU. As the real Hokage, it is too easy for Sarutobi Hiruzen to grasp the root.
Continuing reading the scroll: he needs to keep an eye on Uchiha students and evaluate them to see if they have anti-Konoha tendencies, and pay attention to the emergence of geniuses who can be absorbed by the Roots.
As for the other scroll, there are several high-level secret medicines that are difficult to buy as rewards.
Makoto put away the scroll containing the secret medicine and burned the other scroll.
"In this world, a stable life is a luxury..."
Makoto swept up the ashes and poured them into the trash can, looking into the courtyard with an indifferent expression.
This life of waking up in the morning with a heavily armed ninja standing in the yard made him uncomfortable.
But Makoto has no choice now.
He had thought about whether to directly expose his strength when teaching Asuma, let Sarutobi see his value, and then jump to the Third Hokage's ship, so that the curse seal problem could be solved.
This idea was quickly rejected by Makoto.
He could change jobs by being appreciated by Sarutobi, but not by exposing his strength.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know his specific strength and the ninjutsu he had learned. It could basically be explained.
But Danzo was different. The original owner was trained by Danzo and knew too much information.
If he changes jobs by exposing his strength, Danzo may tell the Third Hokage about Makoto and then be treated as a spy.
Makoto believes that there are only three situations in which his strength can be exposed. One is that Danzo is going to use him as a consumable, and then he can find an opportunity to expose his strength.
The second is to wait until his strength reaches S-Class, so that he can take action during the war and help Konoha in times of crisis.
Even if he didn't know how he got his strength, Makoto would only be a hero, not a spy.
The third type is to have the power to overthrow Konoha. At that time, it doesn't matter whether you are exposed or not.
Makoto adjusted his expression and went to the ninja school. He walked into the office with a gentle smile.
When you don't have enough strength, you should be a gentle and warm man that everyone likes. Basically, don't be an Uchiha.
...
On Saturday, Obito went to the training ground early and started practicing.
Picking up a palm-sized ice cube and putting it on his palm, condensing chakra in his palm and starting the practice of changing its properties.
After about ten seconds, the ice disappeared, and the traces of water on the ground were proof of its existence.
Makoto next to him nodded.
It took six days to practice to this extent, which was beyond expectations.
After all, he had never thought that he would develop the skill of chef before, let alone that this life skill could be useful in the practice of changing nature.
Being able to progress to this level in a short period of time is due Makoto's contribution.
"You are done with the first step. The next step is to continuously enhance your maximum output." Makoto said, taking out a head-sized ice cube from the barrel and placing it on the ground.
"Your next goal is to melt this ice within ten seconds." Makoto announced that the practice has entered the next stage.
"Ah? This is too big." Obito looked at the ice cube as big as a human head and scratched his head.
"This time you are pursuing the limit of instantaneous property changes. You don't have to worry about the consumption of chakra. Use it with all your strength. Rest when you are tired. After resting, continue practicing." This stage requires time to grind, unless you have sufficient Chakra and vitality to create countless clones like Naruto.
When it was almost noon, Makoto asked the three disciples to stop practicing.
"You must be tired of eating the same dishes every day. Today we are having hot pot." Makoto said with a smile.
Although the spicy food is good for training, Makoto pursues a higher degree of trust, so he has to do better.
"It's great, I finally don't have to eat that super spicy tofu." Obito jumped up excitedly.
It's not that Makoto's Tofu doesn't taste good, but eating it every day will make going to the toilet extremely painful.
"I only prepared the bottom of the pot. As for the ingredients, it depends on what you find later." Makoto continued.
"I want to eat fish!" After Obito said this, he took out his kunai and ran to the river to prepare for fishing.
"Let me help you!" When the enthusiastic Might Gai heard that Obito wanted to eat fish, he sprinted 100 meters and plunged into the water, causing a lot of splashes.
Obito, who was looking around for opportunities to catch fish, was immediately hit with a chill.
"Gai!!!" Obito hardened his fist.
The next moment, Might Gai caught two fish and came up. He looked at Obito with a puzzled look and asked, "Obito, you called me?"
"Yes, I wanted to say, Gai, you are indeed a good brother." Obito looked at the fish in Might Gai's hands and instantly changed his face, praising him.
Shisui brought some wild vegetables and mushrooms from the forest.
The three of them also worked together to kill a wild boar.
Might Gai attracted attention, Shisui attacked, and Obito assisted.
Makoto cooked the bottom of the pot first, and then processed the ingredients they sent.
There was no fire, so Obito was used as a humanoid heater, which was treated as a form of training.
The four masters and apprentices made lunch using local materials in the forest.
Although there were no too tedious procedures, and the ingredients were only locally sourced, it was delicious since Makoto cooked them directly. Shisui was very happy and felt very warm.
This was a feeling he rarely experienced after losing his parents at a very young age.
[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's trust level increased, current trust level is three]
Picking up the fish in the pot and eating it, Makoto smiled.
